Chapter 2514 Money Never Sleeps!

"This is... an immortal descending to earth to save the suffering!"

"Immortal, it's really an apparition of an immortal, an immortal!"

Starting again, before heading to the jumping point, everyone in this small caravan—from passengers to crew members—knelt down, worshiped the vast stars outside, and thanked the gods who lived on the stars for helping them through the misery , Escape from birth.

The aggressive and strange things that happened on the merchant ship and the two "Star Shark" class hunting ships really seemed to be the work of gods.

On more than a dozen merchant ships, those sudden intruders were fatally attacked almost at the same time. The wound was just an insignificant small hole between the eyebrows or chest or dantian, but it seemed to have sucked all their blood and soul. The expressions of the dead ghosts at the moment of death are full of indescribable astonishment and horror. After examination by experienced doctors in the merchant ship, these people did not die of physical damage, but of mental breakdown and annihilation of their souls, as if they were killed by someone. This... boundless vortex of fear completely swallows life into it!

In the vernacular, they were even "frightened to death".

The disasters that occurred on the two "Star Shark" class hunting ships were even more bizarre. The first Star Shark exploded inexplicably, and the shell of the second Star Shark was torn with several irreparable big holes, and it quickly lost its power. The loss of temperature actually "sucked" all the crew out, and the damage control system on the battleship, the automatic repair magic weapon, and even the alarm device of the main control chip did not respond at all, leading to an unimaginable tragedy.

Besides gods or demons, who else has such supernatural powers?

Of course, most of the merchants who dared to come out to run the pier at this time were bold and vicious old Jianghu, who never believed in ghosts and gods. After checking the traces, they naturally understood what was going on in their hearts.

However, "the gods help" is false, but "the gods fight" is true. As the saying goes, "the gods fight, and the kid suffers." He has the ability to kill so many immortal cultivators in one go, and quietly suppressed two "Star Sharks" Class hunting ship, this kind of strength has far exceeded their imagination, and it is not something they can explore.

When going out, eat more, talk less, especially don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and don't meddle in things that shouldn't be meddled with. Such ordinary people can often live longer in the star sea of ​​the empire.

Since the shooters are unwilling to show up, they will only get to the bottom of it when they are impatient with life, and it is most convenient to push it to the illusory "fairy" no matter whether it is good or bad.

I believe that if the "fairy" who just shot is still hiding in their caravan, they will continue to bless them in a calm and safe journey, right?

Sure enough, after paying homage to the "fairy", I went on the road again, and I didn't encounter any troubles, and I reached the jumping point smoothly all the way.

After two or three hours of preparation, they completed a very accurate and smooth star sea jump, and appeared at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance, on the edge of the Seven Seas Star Field.

"Wow!"

When everyone recovered from the dizziness and nausea of ​​jumping in the star sea and looked at the scene outside through the virtual porthole, they all exclaimed in unison.

It's really... too lively!

Compared with human activities, the sea of ​​stars is too vast and boundless. In ordinary star fields, even the most busy and continuous waterways are actually a dead vacuum, and it is extremely difficult to encounter travelers passing by.

But in the Seven Seas Starfield, just by looking at it with the naked eye, you can see dozens of mighty and shining "rivers of light", which are formed by the tail flames of countless fleets traveling from south to north, and there are hundreds of them. Thousands of patrol boats and barges are cruising around the "River of Light", directing these "rivers" carrying a lot of money, goods and resources to rush in different directions. After twists and turns, they are all in a magnificent asteroid Gathering around Star City, that is the trade, logistics and even financial centers on the outskirts of the empire. In the past hundred years, it has risen rapidly, and it can faintly compete with the Extreme Heaven Realm and the Celestial Star, the Seven Seas Market!

With the successive fall or voluntary evacuation of various peripheral free markets, the Wanjie Business Alliance has shrunk a large number of escort fleets back to their old nests, preparing to fight to the death with the joint fleet of the four major families.

At this moment, the defense density of the Seven Seas Market has increased unprecedentedly. Their inconspicuous little caravan has just jumped over for half a minute, and immediately a patrol boat stepped forward to check and guide.

Both belong to the Imperial Army system. Many warships in the escort fleet of the Ten Thousand Realms Business Alliance are second-hand goods eliminated by the four major families, or new cutting-edge and even experimental warships smuggled in. Their appearance and painting are very similar to each other. It is also spray-painted with the three-star Blitz emblem representing the Empire of Humans.

However, the warships of the four major families are next to the three-star blitzkrieg emblem, and they will also spray their own family emblems, and even the unique marks of the main line, branch lines, and each house. The more badges you stamp on, the more prominent the status of the battleship owner, and the stronger the combat power on paper.

The battleship painting of the Wanjie Business Alliance is relatively simple. They only surrounded the shining stars outside the three-star blitzkrieg emblem of the empire. No, they are not stars, but eighteen shining gold coins—— The Eighteen Money Lightning Emblem, this is the latest logo of the Wanjie Business Alliance, and it also represents the "Tao Heart" of the Wanjie Business Alliance, using money to change the empire!

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years, and he was almost "killed for good deeds" by the hunting ships of the four major families half a day ago. With the turret of the boat tensing up, everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Especially on the Little Bear, the crew members from the distant Nanling Star all came to the Seven Seas Market for the first time, and they didn't know what kind of behemoth they were facing. But it's all sweat.

However, in the next second, the huge light curtains shot at them by the two patrol boats made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and finally showed the smile of the rest of their life after the catastrophe.

Two lines of words were written on the top of the huge light curtain: "Welcome to Qihai Market, the freest place in the universe!"

...

From the edge of the Seven Seas Star Field to the Seven Seas Big Market, there is still a whole day of inspection, guidance and diversion.

After all, it is a state of war right now, and an earth-shattering bloody battle is about to come. It is very open and efficient to be able to enter the free trade of the Seven Seas Market in just one day.

"The freest place in the universe..."

Li Yao and Li Jialing Zhuo stood in the rear deck cabin of Little Bear, which Huo Dongling specially packed for them, surrounded by black ore, it was most convenient for the two of them to gossip.

Holding a glass of iced juice, Li Yao looked at the ocean of light formed by thousands of merchant ships outside the porthole, and said with a slight smile, "Whether it is the 'most free' I dare not say, but this is definitely one of the richest places in the entire empire , in terms of the activity of money, it even surpasses the imperial capital and the capitals of the four major families!"

"I've heard that Qihai Market also has a name called 'City That Never Sleeps'. It doesn't mean that people don't sleep, but that the money here never sleeps. 'Money never sleeps' is the slogan here."

Li Jialing was also amazed, "This name was told to me by Li Lingfeng, he once described to me that the bustling businessmen here use all kinds of methods to raise money, which left a deep impression on me—but what really comes from It wasn't until here that I realized that what Li Lingfeng described back then was far less than one-tenth of the real prosperity here. I really don't know what kind of tricks the profiteers of the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance did to make this land far away from the center of the Star Sea. The outer star field of the land has been built to such a prosperous and developed appearance!"

Li Yaodao: "Oh, did Li Lingfeng mention this too?"

"Yes, Li Lingfeng once told me that if he becomes the head of the Li family, the first thing he will do is to attack the Qihai Market and take it as his own!"

Li Jialing used depilatory cream and a razor to remove all the hair from his body and then shaved it short, and then dyed all the short hair black. It was no longer as majestic as a golden lion, but a little more cunning and ferocious as a black panther. He swallowed Spit, with a flash of greed and vigilance in his eyes, he murmured, "At that time, I didn't understand how the majestic 'future elector' of Li Lingfeng would take food from a merchant's bowl. The tide of the caravan, but even I am a little tempted."

"Li Lingfeng was able to realize the importance of the Wanjie Business Alliance and the Seven Seas Market before the reformers surfaced. As expected, his eyes were shining like a torch. Not in vain, what a pity."

Li Yao's gaze gradually became sharper, and he said, "It's just that he still hasn't told you the whole truth, or in other words, with his status and natural standpoint, he can't understand the real source of power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance." ——Money never sleeps, these five words are really incisive, the rise of the Ten Thousand Worlds Business Alliance is the rise of the power of money, how can it be explained by the mere word "profiteer"?"

Li Jialing narrowed his eyes, looked at his fist wrapped in golden flames, and asked: "I don't understand, no matter how powerful the power of money is, don't you still have to submit to absolute violence? Brother Yao, you only have money and you have money." What's the use, it's worth Li Lingfeng, you, and everyone in the four major families right now, even if they don't even care about the ownership of the imperial capital, do you want to compete for the Qihai market first?"

"Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!"

Li Yao looked at Li Jialing's fist and said, "Of course absolute violence is powerful, but you are so poor that you can't afford half a steamed bun, so where can you get 'absolute violence'?

"In the backcountry of the ancient Xiu world, relying on brute force or luck to dig out a secret treasure of the prehistoric era from a certain ancient tomb, you may be able to master 'absolute violence', but with the development of human civilization, the so-called ' Violence' is also increasingly characterized by organization, systematization, and large-scale industrialization. It must be supported by a steady stream of resources. For individuals, it is no longer possible to jump off a cliff and achieve great success, or pick up an ancient treasure. A good thing across the world.

"Whether violence brings money or money feeds violence is the chicken-and-egg question, which has no practical meaning. Money and violence are two sides of the same coin, and they complement each other and support each other.

"It's a pity that among the big trees that grow side by side, if one of them is too lush, it will also deprive the other of nutrients. If the violence is too strong, it will ignore or even despise the importance of money, causing irreversible decline—— —This is what happened to the empire in the past hundreds of years, and it is also the root cause of the emergence of the Myriad Worlds Business Alliance."
