2. Chapter 2
[Xiao Li, according to the detection, this is the planet you are currently on, a planet that you call "Earth", the Earth has not joined the Interstellar Alliance, has not been evaluated for civilization level, and has not been connected to the space-time trading network...... To be honest, on such a planet, where you want to open a store is just a casual thing, and you can choose where the light shines on this map. 】
Tsk, ignoring the location and housing prices, this is a bit powerful, Lu Li looked at the huge world map and fell into the trouble of happiness, however, there is a question that must be understood clearly:
"I open a supermarket for profit, so what happens if I open it in a sparsely populated place and can't make money?"
The Antarctic continent also flashed with a pale green light, indicating that Lu Li could choose, but if she really chose there, except for being able to get close to the penguins, there might not be a single customer.
[Xiao Li, your understanding is correct, getting more profits is the purpose of running a supermarket, and all your choices are in the service of this purpose. I need to remind you that when your supermarket officially opens, the first thing you have to face is to bear the cost of normal operation of the supermarket, commonly known as operating expenses.
If you can't pay your operating expenses, you can't make ends meet and you can't take out a loan, you may face bankruptcy. If you are still unable to repay your debts after a period of bankruptcy, you will be recorded on the blacklist. At first, the light black dishonest list only restricted your spending and travel, but if you have been unable to repay the loan and have been moved to the dark black dishonest list......]
Xiao Song learned Lu Li's previous movements, and his little hands were spread out to express helplessness, but there was a bright smile on his face, and his originally pleasant voice sounded gloomy at this time:
[Believe me, you will never want to know what kind of means the law enforcement team of the space-time trading network has!] 】
"No, no, wait, isn't this a toy?" Lu Li was taken aback, and his body, which was originally comfortably paralyzed in the chair, sat up straight in an instant, this rule sounds completely irrelevant to toys, okay?
"And the target audience of this toy is only 10 to 16 years old, they can easily play bankrupt, if the consequences are so strict, who will buy such a toy for their children!"
Facing Lu Li, who was excited, Xiao Song was still calm and calm, raised his fingers and shook it, and his little head also shook it, expressing his disagreement with Lu Li's opinion.
[Dear Xiaoli, the instructions you see are presented to you after I translated them into the language you use, in fact, I can't find the right Chinese words to express a large part of the concept, I can only try to choose a way that is close to the meaning and easy for you to understand, but the real situation and what you understand will still have a certain deviation.
For example, the Lance civilization belongs to the eight-star civilization, one of the three highest civilizations in the Interstellar Alliance, and the education of teenage children in the Lance civilization is far beyond the imagination of the adult humans on the earth, if you underestimate the difficulty of running a supermarket because of this, I am afraid you will pay an unforgettable price for it.
For another example, although "Supermarket Tycoon" is a toy, in fact, only 888 models have been released in the whole galaxy, containing the highest level of scientific and technological achievements at that time, and equipped with the most advanced artificial intelligence from 400 years ago. At that time, only the super-first-class families in the whole galaxy could afford to buy this "toy" to exercise the abilities of future generations. Their financial resources are enough to support them to go bankrupt and come back again and again, but Xiao Li, according to my analysis, you may not have such strong capital.
As for why it was four hundred years ago, it was because YH796 had been drifting for more than four hundred years after inexplicably entering the wormhole, and this time it unexpectedly appeared on the earth, and it was able to search for a suitable user and be awakened by you, Xiao Li, to be honest, this is not only your luck, but also YH796's luck. I'm very happy, and I also hope that you can go further and go more smoothly, so you should be careful with every choice you make, although this is a "toy", please don't treat it with the mentality of casual play. 】
Lu Li nodded, more serious and strict, she asked Xiao Song to show all the words she had said before on the screen in the form of words, and then she began to consider word by word, silent for a while, Lu Li finally asked a question that she thought was very important:
"Komatsu, now that you have been activated by me, then your producer's side, that is, the Lance civilization's side, will they discover your existence and then discover the earth? Will this have any bad effects on the planet? ”
Lu Li's worries were not understood by Xiao Song, Xiao Song opened his big cute round eyes and looked at Lu Li for a moment, just when Lu Li felt that she was going to be hairy by the suspicious pity in Xiao Song's eyes, Xiao Song finally answered.
[Dear Xiao Li, you can rest assured, due to the fact that the earth is currently in a special advanced state, I cannot communicate with the earth except for the normal procurement of goods when the supermarket is running. Of course, this also means that your development space may be limited to the earth for a long time. The reasons for this are complex, and the explanations that best dispel your current doubts are:
Based on the signs I have detected, your Earth has been discovered and observed by the Interstellar Federation for at least five centuries, and the people of the Civilization Assessment Department should have been observing the progress of your civilization and waiting to see if you can complete the Advanced Civilization Trial before deciding whether to accept you, in short, you don't have to worry about exposing your Earth because of me, because you have already been discovered. 】
“…… I understand every word you say, but I don't understand what it means...... What is a special advanced status? What is Interstellar Alliance? What is the Department of Civilization Assessment? What is the Advanced Trial of Civilization? None of this sounds good...... Is it a delusion? It's a delusion, right? ”
Lu Li felt that the comprehension she had always been proud of was facing a great challenge at this time, her voice was getting lower and lower, and she grabbed her hair irritably, and the hair that she hadn't had time to comb after waking up in the morning was even more messy by her, she always felt that she had heard something amazing, but as if there was a layer of white smoke shrouding the real situation, she couldn't grasp the real point.
[Dear Xiao Li, don't worry, listen to me explain to you slowly.
First of all, the Interstellar Alliance is the general term for the union of human civilizations in the interstellar world, including thousands of human civilizations, large and small. If the Earth can successfully pass this civilization advanced trial, it will also join this alliance.
Secondly, the level of these civilizations, large and small, will be assessed by the Civilization Assessment Department. The Civilization Assessment Department is a large force independent of the Interstellar Alliance, and is very mysterious and wields a lot of power. Because the evaluation of civilization level is very important for a civilization, it is related to the rights and obligations of that civilization, the scientific and technological information it can obtain, the level of weapons it can possess, and so on.
In the end, the Advanced Civilization Trials are the most important thing for you right now. The civilizations in the universe can be divided from one star to ten stars from low to high, and the specific level is assessed by the Civilization Assessment Department. As long as life appears, it will be called a one-star civilization, so the assessment of the Civilization Assessment Department actually mainly starts from a two-star civilization.
For example, your Earth was previously in a one-star civilization, if you are successfully promoted to a two-star civilization, then the Civilization Assessment Department will really record your civilization information, and the Interstellar Alliance will also accept you into the interstellar family.
The reason why I use "before" is because you are now in the advanced trial of civilization. This is a special stage that every civilization will face when it raises its civilization rating, and it is a huge impact and challenge that civilizations face in the process of being promoted to the next star, especially when a one-star civilization is promoted to a two-star civilization.
According to statistics, less than sixty percent of one-star civilizations can successfully pass the Guò Advanced Trial. The difficulty of this trial is relatively high, because you can only rely on the strength of your own civilization, and in the subsequent trials, you can get the help of materials and even higher civilizations in advance, and the difficulty will be much less.
The universe pursues the law of survival of the fittest and victory of the strong, and only by showing the strength of your civilization in the first civilization advanced trial will it be recognized by the Civilization Assessment Department and the Interstellar Alliance. What your Earth is facing now is the challenge of a successful trial, a promotion to a two-star civilization, a failed trial, the extinction of humanity, and the beginning of a new era on Earth. 】
A long paragraph of information was presented on the screen with Xiao Song's narration, Lu Li only felt that her heartbeat was getting faster and heavier, her eyes began to sink, and she couldn't see the words on the screen clearly.
"I don't think I woke up...... I should still be dreaming ......"
The great joy of obtaining the black technology was dispersed by this impactful news, Lu Li muttered a few words, got up and tried to find his soft and comfortable bed, but a shaker fell back into the chair, staring at the introduction of a large section of the screen in a daze, unable to react.
She actually didn't fully understand Komatsu's explanation, but she grasped the point and ignored the introduction of the previous large paragraph of cosmic common sense, the most critical part of Komatsu's words is that the earth is now facing a life-and-death challenge!
[Dear Xiao Li, when I meet you, YH796 has been activated, I have been activated, and I have been activated, you can have a power to help your civilization cope with the challenge, your earth should have experienced two failed advanced trials, and now you are facing the third advanced trial, every time you fail, the traces of the entire civilization will be erased, and one qiē will become empty, so, cheer up! 】
Komatsu watched Lu Li staring at the screen with wide eyes and stupidity, sighed humanely, waved his little hand, and the map on the screen continued to enlarge and enlarge, from a global map to a map of Asia, then Xia Kingdom, Yangchang Province, and finally Zhaoyang City, which continued to expand, and a satellite real-life map of the streets in Zhaoyang City had appeared on the screen, and finally froze to the streets around Lu Li's small supermarket.
