Chapter 489 The basis for the existence of the black market
Gao Xingyu entered the mist and had no idea what was happening outside.
He left Qunyu City a week ago. He first traveled alone to the Wumeng Grassland in the north of Qunyu City, and then came to Misty Wat.
Therefore, he did not enter the black market through the avenue in the southeast of Misty Hollow like the large human army, but took this path to the north.
In fact, the big trade fair in the Mistwa Black Market officially started two days ago.
Each major trade fair lasts for half a month. Although Gao Xingyu has certain trading needs, it is not urgent. The main purpose is to increase his knowledge. Therefore, there is no need to be like the members of the trading group and soak in the black market from beginning to end.
During the Great Trade Fair, that is, during the fog tide period in the Misty Depression, because the fog is filled with a large amount of miasma, it is not suitable for the survival of most normal creatures.
Although human monks who are above the Qi training stage, or evolved orcs, will not be afraid of this level of poisonous mist, some minor injuries are unavoidable.
The so-called entry and exit certificate recognized by all parties is actually a collection of several natural materials and earth treasures that can effectively prevent the invasion of poisonous fog.
The silver fruit that Iron-Headed Goshawk took out for the bet was one of them, but it was used as a condiment by Ling Feng's master and disciple. Anyway, they, temporary guards, did not need credentials even if they occasionally entered and exited the Misty Hollow.
The jade pendant that Gao Xingyu activated just now is a body-protecting jade pendant made by the Jade City. It is also an entry and exit voucher issued by the human race.
Compared with the specific heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the orcs need, the human race combines the two skills of weapon refining and talisman making to create a body-protecting jade pendant that is completely targeted at the characteristics of the mist and mist tide. It is not only effective, but also
The refining cost is not high.
The only shortcoming of this kind of body-protecting jade pendant is that it requires high skills in the two techniques and the cultivation level of the refiner. It cannot be refined by non-foundation-building monks. In the entire Qun Jade City, only three or five well-known masters can refine it.
system.
The function of the body-protecting jade pendant is very single. Except for its special effects during the mist tide in the misty depression, it has no use at other times and places.
However, this kind of body-protecting jade pendant is a controlled material of Qun Jade City. After being successfully refined, it cannot be traded privately. The city lord's palace will purchase it uniformly and sell it to those who wish to participate in the big trade fair at a price of 50 merit points before the big trade fair begins.
of monks for sale.
The reason why it is a merit point rather than a group of jade points is that the jade city wants to control the qualifications and number of monks participating in the Grand Fair.
Because when trading on the black market, not only will there be forces that are friendly or neutral to the human race, but also forces that are hostile to the human race will also come to trade.
Black market transactions are all-encompassing, and there are often some strange and bizarre things, including some items of great value.
This is because even though the orcs have developed spiritual intelligence and acquired blood inheritance, most of the orcs are still far less intelligent than humans.
Although they can discover many natural and earthly treasures by instinct, they only care about those that can be eaten or used directly by them, and the others are brought to the black market to exchange for what they need.
Although the beast tribe occupies a dominant position in the world of Miaoqi, their use of natural materials and treasures is too simple and straightforward, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are wasting natural resources.
Therefore, most of the human monks who often visit the black market have "bought" items with extremely high cost performance. The "buy" mentioned here is actually not accurate, it should be exchange.
Since there is no actual leader in the black market in Misty Wat, there is no unified object of value, and the most primitive barter transactions are still maintained here.
Most of the trading items offered by the Orcs are natural treasures or raw materials, while the Humans and other intelligent races provide more deeply processed items.
Among them, human spiritual food, spiritual wine, and several kinds of elixirs are very popular here. Before Gao Xingyu came, he also bought some in Qunyu City and planned to trade them.
How to trade the resources you need while trying to ensure that the items sold will not endanger the enemy is a question that every human monk who participates in the transaction must consider.
The core principle for the existence of the black market is that surrounding major forces cannot deeply intervene in the management of the black market and cannot interfere with the freedom of transactions.
Any force that attempts to unilaterally dominate or control the black market will be suppressed by other forces. Even if it succeeds, such a black market will soon lose its foundation and disappear.
This is particularly important in the world of smuggling.
The world of Miaochi is traditionally a world of beasts, but currently there are also humans, giants, dwarves, goblins and other intelligent races.
No matter what the reason for these races to come to the Miaochi Realm, after a long period of development, they have taken root and settled here and are inseparable from the Miaochi Realm.
It's just that these intelligent races are not conspicuous in the Miaochi world. The human race is the strongest and most numerous race among them, but it is less than a million in number. It only occupies a corner of Qunyu City. In the huge Miaochi world, it is basically
Nothing.
The beast tribe is just a general term, not a complete ethnic group in the true sense. There are many types of beast tribe, and even birds and aquatic beasts are included in it.
The beast tribe is divided by race, and each race is divided into large and small groups, which live scattered throughout the world.
These ethnic groups, plus other orc tribes that depend on them, form orc tribe forces.
The strength of the orc force is often inversely proportional to its number. The more powerful the force, the smaller the number of individuals. Only the weak ones will stick together for warmth and win with numbers.
The orcs themselves can form a complete food chain. The relationship between different races and different forces is complicated, extremely loose and disorderly. It often happens that A and B are on good terms, and B and C are on good terms, but A and C are mortal enemies.
, a situation of pinching each other upon meeting.
It is said that there is an Orc Elders' Council on the Liuci Plateau in the center of the continent. Its members are composed of the top masters of each Orc tribe. They coordinate and manage all Orc tribes.
However, given the free-spirited nature of the orcs, it is unknown how effective remote control management can be.
However, because of this, humans and other intelligent races can more easily take root in the world of Miao. If it were to be a Zerg world with a complete governance system, and foreign races wanted to gain a foothold, they would have to fight hard.
The original founder of the Misty Wat black market was the goblin caravan that was affected by the space storm and wandered into the world of Miaochi.
Their purpose of opening the black market in Misty Wat is to integrate into the world of Xiaochi as quickly as possible, and rely on their own characteristics of being good at trading to obtain resources and survive in the world of Xiaochi.
The goblins knew that they were not powerful enough, so they very smartly gave up their control over the black market in Mistvalley, so that the surrounding forces could more easily accept their existence.
In this way, not only has the black market in Miwuwa developed to the present, becoming one of the famous black markets in the Xiaochi world. The goblins who have been living in the Xiaochi world have also successfully gained the trust of surrounding forces and settled here.
