Chapter 1293 Making money is a major event in life
It only took a split second to teleport from the Imperial Admiral to the Shadow City, so Phyllis, who was sighing at how spectacular it was inside the Imperial Admiral a moment ago, had no time to sigh before her attention was attracted by the even more spectacular and magical Shadow City.
The destination of our teleportation is of course the Dimension Hub Square: here is the densest space gate facility in the Shadow City. Basically, except for military mobilization, all teleportation actions in the capital world can be directed to this square. Therefore, the Dimension Hub Square becomes
The most distinctive and magnificent place in the Shadow City, when Lin Xue and I led a tour group of several hundred people from the Fiyali Empire to the square, that feeling...
It’s like leading the whole company’s employees to climb Mount Tai to the top.
The Dimension Hub Square is now more lively than ever, because the war martial law has just ended, and the Macro World Network has just been reopened a few minutes ago: I don’t need to tell you how big the flow of people here is in this case, compared to the supermarket
There is a reason to announce that the venue will open after half price. The moment the network was opened, the transmission traffic here reached an all-time peak. It is expected that this peak will last for half a day, until the civilians from other worlds stranded in Shadow City and those from
The teleportation quotas applied for by the censors of the lower worlds are all used up. We are taking a teleportation gate dedicated to teleportation in the capital world. These teleportation gates are not affected by the war martial law, so they do not accumulate much traffic. No need to
Queuing. After coming out of the portal, I looked around. The crowds of people hundreds of meters away in front of the crossing gate were breathtaking. Of course, the ticket sellers who persisted in reselling tickets in the crowd were even more breathtaking...
In fact, I didn’t understand it at first, because the tickets sold by those assholes can’t be used for “riding” at all: the boundary crossing gate implements dual authentication of personal identification and pass card recognition. Does it matter whether you hold the ticket or not?
As a result, the identification gate of the boundary crossing gate will not be open to people who want to enter the border gate. Even if it is open, you may be sent to any world: it is not the same address as the ticket in your hand anyway. But the ticket dealers are still enjoying it.
Counterfeit tickets are sold everywhere, and visitors to Shadow City are also happy to buy counterfeit tickets: most people who have been to Shadow City will know the special "customs" of this place.
They have known the ticket seller for a long time. They also know exactly what the latter is selling.
But the two groups of people continued this "custom" happily.
Phyllis also saw the scene not far away. She didn’t know that those gates were the gates to other worlds, but she understood what a ticket seller was for the first time with her personal “talent”. When she heard my confusion
After that, Phyllis had her own thoughts in the blink of an eye: "Do you think those they are selling are really tickets? They are actually souvenirs."
Lin Xue and I were both dumbfounded: "?"
"Traveling, that's it. To put it bluntly, it's the process of going to a place that few people have been to, collecting a bunch of things that few people have seen, and returning home to be happy. Since you can travel thousands of miles to a different world,
, then it doesn’t actually matter what you bring when you go back. Even if it’s a fake ticket, it’s a ticket from another world, right? Even if it doesn’t work, it’s okay to add a frame and hang it on the wall when you go back. On the square
Those people are not selling commodities, they are selling concepts. They are selling commemorations, they are selling ideas - you see fake tickets, but people who come here to travel see fake tickets from the Shadow City..."
I was stunned for a while by Phyllis's weird theory, and then I finally summarized her core idea, which is to say that those people who went to Mount Wutai to buy a consecrated cross and got angry everywhere after returning were actually not idiots.
, that is performance art...
Has this Phyllis spent all her talent points on doing business?
"Actually, I don't think the motives of those ticket sellers are very high-end," the eldest lady looked at the crowd in the distance silently for a while. "They are just idle, and the urban management is on holiday these two days, so these ticket sellers are all
The wounded soldiers who have just been removed from the battlefield are undergoing a recovery period, and they won’t even be able to catch you..."
"Wounded soldiers?" Phyllis caught one word keenly, and her face suddenly became heavy. "Are they soldiers? Could it be that they were injured by the war... I understand, you shouldn't make fun of these people. No one can live their lives today.
batch..."
I patted Phyllis on the shoulder: "Don't be too busy sighing. Those bastards can fight better than anyone else now. In two days, they will turn the entire Shadow City into a mess."
I didn’t explain to Felicity much about the relationship between the ticket seller and the imperial soldiers, because I still wanted to save the emperor’s face: at least temporarily, it was good, while Lin Xue seized the opportunity and quickly moved Felicia.
Silk's attention: She successfully made the latter interested in this dimensional hub square.
"Is this the highest-level hub of the macro world mentioned in the data disk?" Phyllis looked around with a look of surprise at this huge distribution center that could not see the edge at all. The giant world-traversing gates that glowed with metallic luster and energy were lined up in rows.
Arranged in the Alloy Square. Every time the light of the gate flashes, it means a journey through the world. Visitors from all worlds, dressed in strange clothes and with all kinds of strange looks, pass through these gates in units of one hundred thousand every day. Now in the square
Visitors from God knows which world can be seen everywhere. Most of them have human shapes or similar shapes, but there are also many that are so weird that you can't even connect them with living organisms. I randomly picked them up from the portable space.
He took out a data terminal and handed it to Felice: "The data disk I gave you is incomplete. I have a more detailed travel guide to Shadow City. It will be good for you to take a look at this when you go back. This place is really fun, but
If you don't know the rules and run around, you may die several times a day. Anyway, I have encountered such unlucky people."
Phyllis took over the data terminal with a horrified look on her face, and then her eyes changed slightly: Based on this look, I judged that my data terminal would not come back...
The travel guide to Shadow City actually originated from Qian Qian’s immature ideas - well, in fact, many things in this city originated from Qian Qian’s immature ideas, even though that girl’s mind is always in the same position as ours.
The operating mode is incomprehensible, but you have to admit that with a little modification, Qian Qian's whimsical ideas are all genius decisions, such as the Shadow City Travel Guide.
At first, Qianqian just wanted to compile an encyclopedia to summarize all the known intelligent races in the empire's ruled areas, as well as their customs and living environment requirements. Her main purpose of counting this was to set up a travel agency: of course, she will wait for the encyclopedia
After the statistics were compiled, she forgot about it. Later we discovered that although Qianqian's travel agency had no hope, the encyclopedia she ordered to coordinate for this purpose has become an excellent travel guide, especially for that Xuci
For visitors to Shadow City.
"Go back and take a closer look. Spiritual creatures don't like strong magnetic fields, but they usually like infrared radiation. When communicating with the Toberu Zerg, praising the sexy lines of each other's forelimbs is the first step to making friends; Tree
Elves are gentle by nature, and discussing planting and vegetarianism with them will bring you closer. Their favorite food is golden squid; humans in the New Eden Federation are bold by nature, but don’t drink with them unless you are of dwarf descent; don’t even drink with them.
The Atim people drink alcohol, and the 'wine' they refer to is a strongly alkaline drink. This race is very enthusiastic, but their enthusiasm is often used in the wrong place." I pointed Phyllis to open the data terminal and told her how to use it.
The above index function was then introduced by pointing to the quick introduction section of the travel guide, "There are a lot of things to pay attention to in the Shadow City. These are all related to various races, because after all, we rule...well, anyway, many worlds
.The number of races in the ruled area is probably greater than the number of your population. There are also some matters that have nothing to do with race, such as the giant tree on the horizon——"
I pointed in the direction of the Tree of Life, and Phyllis was stunned: "Is there a tree over there? It's so far away that I can't see it."
I lowered my eyelids: "Oh, the mountains you see are the tree crowns. You will know when you get closer. That is the World Tree, which is responsible for managing a material universe outside the shadow space. You can simply understand it as a god.
Office building, stalls are not allowed within two hundred meters of heaven. No promotion of atheism, no catching of anything that looks like a dragonfly, and..."
"Oh, I saw it," Phyllis looked at the data terminal in her hand happily. She didn't care too much about the World Tree, which couldn't be touched without getting close, but she was interested in the rules around heaven.
Interested. "Non-clergy are not allowed to wear jingle green badges in the temple area - what color is this jingle green?"
I groped around in my pocket and pulled out a little bean sprout that was holding a candy bar and munching on it: "This is Dingdang, and Dingdang green is the color of her hair. In the church world of the Goddess of Life, Dingdang green is the color of God's hair."
Color' has a special meaning."
Dingdang gnawed his face full of sugar residue: Because of last night's grievance, I allowed Dingdang to eat as much candy as she wanted today, and she was allowed to eat it in my pocket. This little Doudang had already forgotten about it. Noticing the sights around him, Dingdang raised his head and looked at
Phyllis showed a bright smile: "Hey, hello!"
Phyllis's eyes suddenly blurred. I'm afraid she hadn't paid attention to anything about God, temples, or sects from just now. Now she only had eyes for a cute, cute guy with a face full of sugar. This was a shock.
The woman screamed and rushed forward to try to catch the little one: "What a little one! Is this your pet?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, I was ready to watch this guy get struck by lightning: Saying this in front of Dingdang is considered sacrilege no matter how you look at it. Even if you don't do it unintentionally, you still have to strike it with five thunders to show your majesty. You'll have to wait for the result.
For a long time, the expected divine thunder did not strike. The sky was clear and clear, and the world was at peace. Hundreds of tourists behind Phyllis were still studying the local customs and customs nearby with great interest, while Phyllis herself took out something from her pocket.
He bought a few jelly beans in an attempt to bribe God.
I:"……"
There is only one explanation for this: now calling her my pet in front of Ding Dong is no longer considered blasphemy...
"Dingdang is not a pet, Dingdang is a god, Dingdang is so powerful!" The little one in my hand declared his position very firmly, and didn't even care about Felice's bribe. Well, well-educated pets are like this.
, and will never eat food from anyone other than the owner... This is such a sad story.
There are more than one dimensional hub square for sightseeing in Shadow City, but I soon discovered that even just one dimensional hub square is enough to keep the first-time Fialli visitors here for a long time: their composition is complex, basically
There are people from all walks of life, and Phyllis seems to match her expedition business group according to the standards of the great unity of the people of the world. Among them are botanists, sociologists, outer space life scientists, and even some.
There are experts in religion and linguistics. Of course, there are also many experts in space scientists and theoretical physics. Each of them can find something to ignite their research soul in the Dimension Hub Square.
They came to Shadow City for scientific research rather than tourism. Seeing this situation, I am afraid that my initial plan will have to change slightly.
My original idea was to let the visitors to Fialli have a good tour of this place, so that they can play and buy whatever they want. Then I discussed with Phyllis to check all the things in her warehouse—
- If that doesn't work, you can buy them all, so that you can understand why the fallen apostles chased this group of void smugglers selling stones through the four quadrants. But now it seems that this type of person obviously cannot be regarded as a
Treated as a mere "tourist".
They have mastered the technology of cross-world navigation. Although there is a queen whose mission is to deceive and kidnap, they are essentially a group of pioneers who have stepped out of their own world for the first time. They not only want to watch the excitement, but also want to see why it is so lively here.
"Speaking of which, do you have any plans?" I thought about it and looked at Phyllis, who was playing with the data terminal enthusiastically. "Shadow City is very hospitable. If you are willing, you can stay here as long as possible.
Time. But you should have a plan."
Suddenly, a group of senior Fiari officials and their Majesty the Queen expressed their opinions almost simultaneously: "Verify cross-border positioning technology/observe life forms in other worlds/try to communicate with civilizations in other worlds/explore unknown areas/do business!"
Me: "... please unify."
So Phyllis exchanged a look with her subordinates, and spoke noisily again: "Explore whether gods exist/test new mathematical theories/observe the laws of different worlds/verify whether the speed of light is the same in every world/do business!
"
"Learn the language rules of other worlds/civilization exchanges/collect material specimens from other worlds/establish diplomatic relations with the Xiling Empire/build an embassy here/promote Fiyali culture/do business!"
"Taste the food of another world/observe the etiquette of another world/test new technologies/establish diplomatic relations with other races/rewrite the periodic table of elements/do business!"
I looked at Phyllis almost crazy: "You can't say anything else!"
Co-author: This queen’s only creed in life is to do business?
Phyllis thought about it seriously, then looked at the crowded and bustling streets of Shadow City. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she turned around only when both of her eyes almost turned into currency symbols: "Then
smuggling!"
Even Lin Xue next to him was confused: "Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of us!?"
But at this time, Phyllis could no longer hear what Lin Xue and I said. She had devoted all her heart and soul to the brilliant business prospects of Shadow City. In her eyes, every citizen of Shadow City was now a mobile five.
Hundred Dollars: This is the capital of all realms that connects to the infinite world. The highest city is simply the paradise that a void merchant like her who wants money or life can only dream of. There are endless business opportunities and markets here, as well as countless resources and customers.
Behind everyone here is a commercial colony waiting to be developed. You can find a buyer here who is willing to pay for the broken stones you dig up from anywhere. Phyllis has many stones: from all over the world.
There are stones that cannot be completely covered by any periodic table of elements, so she silently sighed: "This is all money..."
"It seems that I know your recent plans. Okay, I'll give you a business license."
I said expressionlessly, looking at the group of subordinates brought by Phyllis. This awe-inspiring explorer was conscientiously getting in touch with the customs and customs of the other world. And their queen was already full of money-making plans, but this
It’s okay. In this case, Phyllis will become an easier person to communicate with. I guess I can buy her with a business license...
And it just so happens that the Shadow City also welcomes this kind of alien businessmen who have mastered cross-world technology: they are the necessary driving force for the development of the city. After all, the Xiling Apostle himself is not very good at developing people's livelihood.
"Can I do business here?!" Phyllis looked very surprised when she heard what I said. She looked at me with a heartfelt enthusiasm as if she had seen two thousand dollars.
She may have thought that it would take more effort to get this kind of privilege, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. "Isn't it very troublesome to do business in the capital of all worlds? It requires a lot of strict review and an oath to obey local laws.
Then it took several months to register and so on..."
"I'm the emperor, so it won't take much trouble to give you a business license," I shrugged. "As for the filing and review, of course there will be follow-up personnel to follow up. I guess there's nothing you can't pass, Shadow City.
It's very special. There are too many races, and business practices are very open. Even if you sell sulfuric acid as a drink, there is a market: as long as it is written clearly on the bottle. Of course, you can continue to sell your stones - but let me remind you, I think
I’m afraid it’s difficult to make a lot of money from finding rare items. There are very few people who come to Shadow City who are unsophisticated. They are used to traveling around the world. Did you see those gates——”
I raised my hand and pointed at the huge arches in the square. Every time the light curtain in the arches flashed, it was a crossing: and it was a group crossing.
"That is a small world gate. It is free for the citizens of the empire. It is open day and night. Each person can carry up to one hundred tons of personal belongings at a time. I suggest you not to treat your own stones as treasures..."
Phyllis suddenly felt like she was mourning for her heir, and the look in her eyes suddenly dropped to two hundred yuan.
But soon she cheered up again, and it seemed that no difficulty or obstacle could stop her determination and means of making money. Seeing this scene, I slowly made a decision in my heart: first ban the Fiaris from setting up shop near the paradise and the school.
