Chapter 554 The Booming Trading Market

Time always passes quickly when you work hard.

Cement plants and steel mills have sprung up one after another, continuously producing industrial products necessary for infrastructure.

The number of robots has also been increasing with the passage of time.

The number of awakened people has gradually recovered, but there is no rush. In order to reduce the social burden, the average number of awakened people per month is about 20,000.

In the sixth month, the foundation of the Green Market was completely completed, and the first phase of the project covers an area of ​​about 22 square kilometers.

There are a total of 360 large buildings, more than 1,000 residential buildings, as well as botanical gardens, animal breeding bases, restaurants, supermarkets, hot springs, etc., with all kinds of service functions.

In these six months, the most important thing to complete is to attract investment. Green City lacks human resources, and it is difficult to take care of various service industries - and it is too wasteful to let people in Green City engage in the service industry.

So a group of foreign races were recruited to engage in service industries such as catering, barbering, and taverns.

The first batch of 22 civilizations settled in it, opening a new era of large-scale transactions.

However, this progress... is not too smooth.

Except for "Ulan City" which bet on Green City and spent 5 points to buy a floating fortress, all other civilizations were stingy and in a wait-and-see state.

They only stationed a group of diplomats and did not make large-scale purchases.

This is understandable.

Most of the civilizations in the North are very poor and are worried that their property will be defrauded.

Green City's combat effectiveness is much higher than theirs. Even if they suddenly rob, they have nowhere to seek justice!

In this case, Lu Yuan had to hold a meeting to focus on discussing this matter.

"Don't be too anxious. Everything is difficult at the beginning. This phenomenon is an expected result."

"If you can't eat big fish and meat, don't miss small fish and shrimp."

"As long as we continue to expand productivity and maintain the order of the trading market, it will naturally become hot slowly."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "The first important goal is to expand the number of floating fortresses. At least 20 fortresses are needed to meet the needs of internal use and foreign trade."

"That's no problem. It is expected to take about 5 years." The leader of the industrial department said.

"Second, we can give a small discount to the initial customers."

"In the major supermarkets in the trading market, we will promote our internal currency, and all major commodities will be discounted by 20%. The commodities on the shelves in the supermarkets must be cheap and good quality."

The essence of currency is credit.

Credit can be created out of thin air, or it can disappear without a trace.

Lu Yuan knew very well that the internal currency of mankind, "Green Coin", could not compete with "Spiritual Charm" for the status of general equivalent.

But as long as these currencies can be used to buy daily necessities at any time, such as food, washbasins, lighters, pots and pans, its credit will be slowly established.

After all, every civilization yearns for a better life. Who can resist the temptation of cheap industrial products?

"Third, I know that some civilizations are ready to move, and they may want to test our strength. I hope to build a fighting arena near the trading market, which is specially used for cold weapon battles."

...

...

In the second month of the first year, a very magical opportunity appeared.

The aggressive one-eyed tribe came to the Green Trading Market.

"Green Trading Market? What a big name! Let me test your strength."

"Who will fight me?!" The chief of the one-eyed tribe wielded a mace and roared.

The battle between the level 10 one-eyed chief and the level 12 warrior king Lu Da attracted a wave of public opinion.

The life-and-death fight obviously stimulated the hearts of all tribes.

In just a moment, the calm trading market was like a heavy bomb thrown into it and surged.

And Lu Yuan also keenly sensed that this was a good opportunity, so he delayed the battle for a week, and entertained the guests of the one-eyed tribe with good clothes and food.

A week later, more races heard the news and came here to watch the battle.

The result is obvious. No matter how high the race value of the one-eyed tribe is, it is difficult to compare with the serious vision.

Lu Yuan specifically ordered King Insect·Lu Da to hold back and fight for a while. The two sides fought back and forth for more than two hours. Under countless gazes, the one-eyed chieftain tried his best but still failed and fell to the ground.

The audience also said that it was exciting and had a preliminary assessment of the strength of humans: "There is still a big gap between level 10 and level 12."

"I don't know how Green City trained such a warrior..."

"Our regular warriors are much stronger."

The human side did not execute the one-eyed chieftain who came to provoke, but instead treated him for free, which made many races take it to heart.

The one-eyed chieftain returned to the scene at a very fast speed.

"This fight was fun, but I am not as good as you, so I admit defeat."

"Your king insect is indeed powerful, but I want to fight your soldiers again after I recover completely!" The one-eyed chieftain said loudly with a mace.

"You're always at my service! The soldiers of my civilization are equally brave and good at fighting, but we will use high-quality equipment to compete with you." Lu Yuan said with a smile. Without equipment, ordinary level 7 soldiers would not be able to withstand your blow.

This sentence also admits that humans are not as good as the one-eyed tribe in the field of cold weapons, and they have to make up for it with equipment.

This is normal, every civilization has its own strengths.

The one-eyed tribe is 10 meters tall, with infinite strength, and can accommodate more fire energy, which is something that humans do not have.

The one-eyed chief laughed: "Of course, equipment is also part of strength."

"My one-eyed tribe is indeed not good at forging equipment... I came here from thousands of miles away just to tailor a mace! It doesn't have to be too good, just durable!"

He turned his head, and the huge one-eyed stared at the king insect: "The dwarves are also good at forging. But they are a little arrogant and annoying, so it's better to ask you to forge."

"This is the ore we found along the way. I wonder if it's enough?"

A one-eyed soldier took out a few blue stones from the animal skin bag, all of which were rare and good things.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Please register in our trading hall. Everything is fair."

"By the way, Chief, if your people want to find a job, they can also go to the trading hall. With your physique, it is easy to find a good job."

"Hmph...job..."

The crowd in the arena gradually dispersed. It is foreseeable that this fight will become a topic of conversation among all tribes and will be circulated in the North for many years.

The chief also discussed with his people for a while.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"That king insect is really fierce, and its strength and speed are one level higher than mine...I'm fine." The chief wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The one-eyed tribe is powerful, but poor and has little money.

They are not many in population and make a living by farming and hunting.

As an agricultural civilization, they have accumulated little "luck" and have not completed any milestones.

Of course, they still have some foundation.

Over the years, they have collected rare and excellent ores, and even picked up a piece of more precious legendary ores.

But the chief also knows the principle of living off the land. It is easy to sell these wealth, but it is difficult to collect them again. These are heirlooms and will not be sold until the critical moment.

So when Lu Yuan said "finding a job", he felt a little embarrassed at first. How could anyone come all the way to work for others?

But if you think about it carefully, there are more than one or two races working in the trading market.

There are people who run restaurants, barbers, bars, and supermarkets. What's wrong with us working for others?

"Dear guest, after evaluation, the content of rare elements in your ore is 39.2%, and it is worth 2.88 Lingyun. If you want to customize a 3-ton black iron rod, it is still a little insufficient..." The human front desk lady has a pretty nice voice.

"But as long as a small amount of Leviathan shell is mixed in, not only will the price be reduced, but the performance will also become better. You can consider it."

"You can do it yourself! Just give me a plan." The one-eyed chief sat on the ground indifferently, looking rough but thoughtful. "This price is fair. Go back and ask the craftsmen of my tribe."

A lot of information was scrolling on the notice board in the hall.

In order to make each race understand faster, many news were played in the form of videos.

"Are there still a lot of vacancies in the shops in the south? Alas, my one-eyed tribe has no special products to sell..."

"Open a bar? We do know some winemaking skills, and we can suppress all kinds of troublemakers... But with so many people in my tribe, we can't open bars for all of them."

"Open a barber shop or a massage shop?" The one-eyed chief imagined a scene where he accidentally broke the customer's bones while massaging.

The green trading market has laws and regulations.

The murderer will be sentenced to death!

The entire race will have to pay a lot of compensation.

He shuddered in his heart.

"Huh... what is this?"

"High-level miners... a high-quality rutile mine was discovered 500 kilometers away. The geographical location is out of the geothermal area and the weather is relatively bad. Miners with high cold resistance are needed."

"The living conditions are good, houses have been built, and there is solar power supply."

"Food and accommodation are provided, and the salary is calculated according to the amount of minerals mined."

The chief's eyes lit up when he saw that thing.

He had investigated the prices in Green City. A pound of rice costs 2 yuan, and a pound of potatoes is only 80 cents. If their one-eyed tribe is good at eating, they can eat about 300 pounds a day.

The conditions of providing food and accommodation are quite awesome, and they can save hundreds of yuan a day.

So he said in a muffled voice: "How much can this miner earn in a day?"

The lady working at the human front desk explained: "The main component of rutile is titanium dioxide, and the market price of this ore is 5,000 per ton. You can earn 2% per ton, which is 100 yuan per ton."

"Because the local conditions are harsh, the probability of robot damage is high, and the quality of the minerals is high, this job is available. The specific reward depends on how much you can dig every day. The currency unit is the common currency of my civilization."

The Cyclops asked: "Can the currency be exchanged for spiritual charm?"

"This... Not for now, but it can buy most of the supplies. Please refer to the major supermarkets for specific prices." The lady shook her head.

"I have evaluated your strength. With the recovery ability of a level 10 super creature, you can easily dig 30 tons of ore a day. If it's 50 tons... the ore there is very hard, so you don't have to work too hard."

The one-eyed chief turned his head and looked at his brothers and sisters.

The group of cyclops showed excited expressions.

What mining?

Isn't it just digging the ground?

We are the best at this. We even eat mud when we are hungry!

As for the harsh environment...isn't it to fight against the harsh environment when we grow so big?

One person suffers, and thousands of families are happy!

Working eight hours can earn a million yuan a year, and it seems that it is just around the corner to reach the peak of life.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

So these big guys laughed "hehehe" and kept rubbing their hands.

Buried their heads and signed the treaty.

...

The one-eyed tribe collectively signed the work agreement, bringing a new topic of conversation to the trading market!

"Extra, Extra, 1,000 people of the One-Eyed Clan have collectively signed a work contract!"

"Those big guys went out to mine! They dig 30 tons of ore every day, earning 3,000 yuan a day. After a year, wow... I can't believe it."

"We don't have enough strength to dig. It's cold all year round in that place. The rocks are as hard as iron. Do you think 30 tons is easy?"

"Can we also find a job... I have a cousin who is a plant lover. Can he find a job here?"

"Hey, God's Skilled Person, I'm sure you can." In a bar, guests drank and ate meat.

A million salary a year is really very tempting!

Although it is only Green Currency, it can't buy strategic-level supplies, but its purchasing power is rich enough. The supermarket has everything you need for daily necessities! In addition to daily necessities, mobile phones and computers can all be bought!

Mobile phones are really good things. There are many high-level civilizations who hold their mobile phones all day long and keep swiping them there.

The so-called "civilized affairs" are things that the high-level people who have no worries about food and clothing need to think about. For the middle-level and the bottom of civilization, the most important thing to consider is the problem of life.

People wander around the world, isn't it just to ask for a bite of food? !

With an income of 20,000 yuan a year, you can live a decent life.

With an income of 100,000 yuan a year, you can go to the neighboring Ulan City and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!

One million a year, I can't imagine it.

Everyone, all of them are a little tempted.

…

In this way, there is an excellent case, and more and more foreigners come to the trading market to work.

And Green City actually does not refuse the settlement of foreigners.

So in the second year of the Spring Festival, the number of foreign cities settled in Green City reached 51, and the number of permanent foreigners increased significantly to 66,000, a significant increase of 120%.

The trading market is booming!

…

…

Time passes again, the sixth month of the second year.

The "field industrialization" strongly advocated by Lu Yuan has made a breakthrough research progress!

He worked day and night and finally found a relatively stable way to generate a "spiritual plant field".

The so-called spiritual plant field is a field derived from the rules of "plant affinity" and "supernatural fire".

The weather in the north is very cold, and most plants grow slowly. A pine tree grows only one meter in five years.

High-yield rice, wheat, and potatoes cannot grow at all.

Many races can only grow a plant called "winter grain" - one acre of land with suitable temperature and farmyard manure can produce about 200-300 kilograms of east grain a year.

So is there any way to make plants grow faster?

Of course there is, plant affinity!

This divine skill greatly speeds up the growth rate of plants, and plant affinity of every civilization is very valuable.

Therefore, after discovering this phenomenon, Lu Yuan still gave priority to creating a way to create a "spiritual plant field". The effect of this field is 70% of that of plant affinity, and it can also repel the invasion of surrounding ice elements and increase the warming effect of the greenhouse.

As for the value of this thing - whoever controls the food in the North controls the whole world!

"Lu Yuan, how is your trading market going?"

In the fairy palace, the phantoms came online one after another. The large crystal man in the lead habitually got a sentence.

In addition to the six old aliens, there is also Prince Jinbot of the Blue Peng civilization, plus the old comrade Gu Chong who is also traveling outside.

These are Lu Yuan's most core allies.

"It's just so-so. This thing needs time to operate slowly. Now it has a little color."

Gu Chong said proudly: "Then you have to hurry up. I, Gu Chong, have earned 100 points of "luck" in these years, and the underground alliance is also booming."

"Even my Zerg people have observed the flying sky city in the outside world...!"

"This world is not just about you humans developing!" Gu Chong took out a light and shadow stone, which recorded a blurry photo. The scale of this flying city is not too large, only half of the Green City.

Ancient insects have been awesome these years. Since pretending to be an "ancient relic", they have regained the confidence of an old senior. Both the physical and psychological experience are very wonderful.

Lu Yuan laughed and did not refute: "Seniors, please look, this is my latest creation."

He took out a very strange thing - a tripod made of the wood of the Tree of Life, with a light green crystal gem inlaid on the top of the tripod, and quite complicated carvings engraved on the body of the tripod.

The armored alien was also a skilled craftsman. He squinted his eyes and couldn't understand what the carving meant for a while.

Lu Yuan pressed the button, and a faint green light bloomed from the gem, illuminating the area around ten meters.

"Excellent-level item..." The old snake man's scales trembled a few times, "If I wasn't afraid of being slapped in the face, I would have almost started to spray directly. Wake us up just to see an excellent-level one?"

"Boy, tell me quickly, what is its specific function."

That's right, the extraordinary level of this tripod is only excellent-level.

But it is the first creation of the field industrialization.

Lu Yuan explained: "I used 10 ml of blood and hair from plant-lovers, diffused the rules in it, and formed a small field. It can speed up the growth of plants."

The aliens became interested: "Oh, if it were you, you could do it... How much did it cost?"

"The current cost is a bit high, using two anti-entropy elements and two innate glyphs."

"These two innate glyphs are what I realized when I created the myth. I have transformed them into acquired glyphs with slightly worse effects."

"So the main cost is still the anti-entropy element... I'm still trying to find a way to reduce the cost."

"Senior, now I will teach you this manufacturing method, take a look first, is there any possibility of learning it?"

Lu Yuan handed over a book, with a few big words on the title page: "Theory of Greed·Field Industrialization".

"You are so arrogant, do you want to write a book?" The crystal man's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is a good idea."

"But the field is such a useless thing, the high cost alone is not something that ordinary civilizations can afford." The armored alien named Cosi judged.

"I am not talented, but I just want to give it a try."

The armored alien took the book and flipped through it carefully, but he kept saying, "You are better than me in forging. But there are some things that no one before you have created, so how can you be so worthy?"

"Oh, don't say that." The big crystal man said bluntly, "If we can't surpass our predecessors in our lifetime, what are we fighting for? Let's die early and reincarnate together."

"What we need to know now is whether you can learn it and whether you can carry it forward. Don't say other nonsense." The other aliens were all very anxious.

The armored alien flipped through the pages and sneered, "I think the first part is just mediocre, not much different from the small treasure book of gears."

"Of course, for ordinary civilizations, it is also a great inheritance, but for peak civilizations, it is far from enough. It is not as good as the big treasure book."

"Don't, sir! The title of peak civilization cannot be borne!" Lu Yuan immediately rejected the idea of ​​these guys to set a flag.

But gradually, the armored alien fell into deep thought, and he found that... he was a little confused.

"It seems interesting."

Lu Yuan's understanding of the field is indeed extraordinary.

On the one hand, he has the experience of forging the greedy demon.

He used this experience to create a large number of fields. Now there are more than 360 seventh-level grandmasters among humans, most of which were created by him personally!

On the other hand, the greedy demon's new organ "ability core" can peek into the most basic idealistic imprints, and even copy extraordinary abilities. This function is rare in predecessors and is also his unique advantage.

These two points combined can be high-level and solve more elementary problems in a higher dimension. Many viewpoints are very novel.

"The essence of the field is the divergence of idealistic rules... and this divergence can be achieved by peeping into the underlying rules..."

"Elementary craftsmen only need to master the specific formula."

"As for how the formula is obtained, elementary craftsmen don't need to know."

"There are three types of this formula... The first is to reconcile the combination of glyphs and the hedge of anti-entropy factors... The second is the extension of extraordinary veins..."
