Chapter 665: Ancient Insect Slaughters All Around (Part 3)
"Think about it, the Divine Skills in the Temple of Greed are already quite expensive. If we sell them for even more, fewer civilizations will want to buy, and they might just rot in our hands."
"It's good enough if we can sell them at cost price."
Old Cat's eyes shifted, but humans could bring their own goods up for sale.
If the volume is high, a big profit could be made.
Everyone became excited: "But what should we sell? Can we put our most advanced technological products up there?"
"From antimatter bombs to high-energy lasers, these should all be hot commodities."
Old Cat shook his head: "That's inappropriate, this temple is nominally under Emperor's orthodoxy, it's a relic from the Third Epoch, and doesn't have high tech."
Suddenly, Craftsman Master Li Datie's eyes lit up: "Why not sell 'Field Industrialization' and the related fields? They will surely sell!"
"As long as we set a reasonable price, the sales volume won't be small."
It was as if a realization dawned on everyone: "We can also sell Spirit Runes!"
"Those are the technology of third-level, even fourth-level civilizations."
"No problem, any Spirit Rune that doesn't threaten our city can be sold! In exchange for more Civilization Points!"
"What else?"
A young man slapped his forehead: "Let's open up a trade route to the Northern Territory and sell the resources from all major civilizations there. Like snow sheep wool, Yak Clan's wool, Crystal Winter Valley; haven't they accumulated quite a bit?"
Even Old Cat was stunned by this suggestion. Is this even possible?
Wouldn't this open up the trading platform between the Northern Territory and the Ruins of Buzhou?
Even if humans just pass them along, how much profit could be made?!
…
Lu Yuan was astounded upon hearing the decisions humans made; in fact, he had originally intended to spread 'Field Industrialization', and with humans joining to sell the end products, it wasn't a big issue.
He did not oppose humans making a little money.
The establishment of the "Northern Territory-Ruins of Buzhou" trading platform was quite unexpected.
"This idea is so groundbreaking... but indeed very interesting."
"Can this function be achieved?" Old Cat asked eagerly.
His fur stood on end, tail pointing skyward; what an opportunity is this? A cross-boundary trading market, the turnover might increase by tenfold, equivalent to expanding from a regional business to a global enterprise.
Humans controlling the trading platform is equivalent to controlling an endless gold mine.
"The technical aspect is no problem..." Lu Yuan shrugged, "It's very convenient to transfer goods via the Immortal Palace, and the consumption isn't much."
"But the Ruins of Buzhou, the apparent hosts are Ancient Races."
"If you make it so big, even under Emperor's banner, others might get envious, and perhaps wars will occur prematurely. We should wait until after the Buzhou Grand Festival to consider this matter; by then we'll have more reinforcements, like the Turtle Civilization and a few adventuring Demons."
"It's not like we're lacking this year."
"You can sell some fields and Spirit Runes for now, to earn some money; being a market maker in the future requires a large amount of capital."
This reasoning is quite rational, even though Old Cat was anxious, he held back.
The Ancient Insect reminded: "We agreed on a 20% profit share. Even with humans joining, I still want my 20%."
"Just be formidable... you won't miss out on money."
"Oh, right, sell a few of the Ancient Insect Horns as well, anyway, they can grow back."
The Ancient Insect's six legs trembled twice, feeling both tempted and angry, this damn youngster keeps coming up with bizarre ideas, which is really unpleasant.
...
Just like that, the "Emperor's Relic" spread; this matter was so sensational, "An Ancient Elder was pierced in half with one strike" such a big gossip turned into trivial news, even the Buzhou Grand Festival to be held in a year was temporarily overshadowed by the "Emperor's Relic".
What legacy did the Peak Civilization of the Third Epoch leave behind?
Can it make someone soar?
Even though those of the Insect Race seemed terrifying, there were still brave civilizations coming to the Ancient Insect at the risk of their lives.
"Greetings, Lord Insect Myth! We are the White Horse Civilization, currently developed to the level of a third-level civilization, not sure if we can obtain the emperor's heritage?" The creatures in front, looking like centaurs with snow-white bodies, were quite beautiful.
"We are the Xili Jian Civilization, greetings, sir. We are heading towards becoming a fourth-level civilization."
All these civilizations were respectful and gave sufficient face.
[Enter then!] The Ancient Insect feigned indifference, but inwardly felt a chill, why are most of these civilizations third-level?
Didn't their Underground Alliance have any leading advantage?
With this thought, it resolutely affirmed its determination to make money again.
"I want to make money, I want to make money!"
But Lu Yuan was somewhat sullen: "The civilizations gathered at the Ruins of Buzhou all seem to have some Qi Fortune, which is above average... it seems the first echelon of Pangu Continent is staying at the third-level civilization stage."
Third-level civilization is actually not weak.
Hydrogen bombs and such are all readily available, but wishing to combat an Epoch Disaster is a fantasy.
"Most civilizations, maybe still staying in the Safe Zone..."
"From third-level to fourth-level civilization, even if resources are sufficient, it takes centuries. If resources aren't sufficient... an entire epoch might slip away."
"A short-lived epoch... how can it be saved?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt a sense of urgency.
Yet, in the face of the vast trends, sometimes he too felt a hint of bewilderment.
But soon, he regained firmness in his eyes: "I just need to do my part. One should have self-awareness; Pangu Continent needs every civilization to save themselves, not rely solely on me!"
