On the fourteenth day after the global operation of "Empire", that is, on the morning of December 14, Qin Xiaobai had already hoarded 21,420 grain, 4,847 wood, 213 stones, and 137 silver resources in his warehouse at an extremely fast pace. These resources are existing and do not include those that have already been consumed. The Xiaobai tribe is almost the same as the 20,000 grain, 6,000 wood, and 4,000 stone needed to upgrade the stone civilization to the bronze civilization, and the biggest resource gap is stone.

Qin Xiaobai calculated an account and calculated the resources he had hoarded clearly, and his resources were obtained from a total of four aspects.

One. Self-reliant. Relying on their own farmers to fish and log, they hoarded 18,480 grains, accounting for 49.2% of the total.

Two. Ally protection. He lent money to Hao Zizai and received a total of 1,050 wood of loan interest and protection fees from him, and 540 wood of protection fees from Ding, accounting for 14.1% of the total.

Three. Island trade. Mainly trading with the North Island, after trading with the allied players in the North Island, the net profit obtained from the North Island, as well as the net interest on the loan, obtained a total of 2160 wood, accounting for 19.2% of the total.

Four. Plunder the enemy. Obtain loot, 1,500 food and 300 wood from Korean players. Obtained 1440 grains and 797 wood from Japanese players in Higashijima, accounting for 17.6% of the total.

It can also be seen from the above that he obtained the most resources through his own farmers, accounting for nearly half of the total. The remaining half is obtained from protection, trade, and plunder, respectively, and the largest is obtained by trade, followed by plunder, and the least protection.

Qin Xiaobai's hoarding of resources can't be said to be unhappy.

Purely theoretically, plunder is the quickest means of wealth. However, this financial theory is based on success and not failure. If the plunder fails, the loss of its own armament resources will be very large. This is also the reason why Qin Xiaobai does not fight wars easily.

Judging from the experience he has summed up, if you simply want to obtain a huge amount of materials from plunder, it is probably several times more difficult than producing it yourself. Therefore, the fastest way to obtain resources is to rely on one's own production, supplemented by several other methods.

In the next few days, Qin Xiaobai's main task was not to upgrade, but to hoard resources. In addition to relying on his own farmers to continue fishing in the sea on rafts, he also needs to rely on the strength of others. The most important of these is to continue to trade with Egyptian players in the North Island, exchanging grain for the stone they produce.

The military pressure on the North Island was still very strong, and the war was very costly, and the North Island urgently needed a large amount of food reserves to recruit soldiers and farmers. As long as the war between the two islands continues, there will be a demand for trade. This is the reason why Qin Xiaobai was able to sell the grain smoothly. In order to expand the trade scope to seven players in the North Island, he took the initiative to reduce the grain/stone profit to 20% to increase the attractiveness of trade.

Qin Xiaobai also tried to trade with the five players in the South Island, but the five players in the South Island had no intention of trading. Because there was no serious war in the South Island, they preferred to produce all the resources they needed on their own, rather than trade and endure an additional layer of "exploitation".

Except for the North Island and the South Island, within the first island chain (east, south, southwest, west, and north) with the central island as the core, there is no one Qin Xiaobai can trade with. Qin Xiaobai and 6 Bing, Hao Zizai, and Ding are direct reciprocal exchange of resources, and there is no trade profit.

In the past two days, Hao Zizi and Ding have become addicted to war, and every day they take a large group of barbarian warriors to the tribal camp on the East Island to harass Sato and Zuo Nosuke. Sato and Sanosuke could not bear it and could not produce with peace of mind, so they were forced to migrate to other islands further afield. Dongdao has become a deserted island with no people, and only some barbarian peasants scattered all over the island remain, who were chased and slaughtered by Hao Zizai and Ding.

6 Bing is much quieter, she spends most of her time on the island, taking on the responsibility of guarding the central island. It was only when there was a war between the North Island and the West Island that she took the initiative to assist the North Island in the operations from the sea.

Qin Xiaobai basically does not participate in the war between the North Island and the West Island, and he only uses trade to help the players in the North Island.

When he was usually fine, he began to take his ten war rafts out of the first island chain and travel farther to the second island chain to open up trade. As long as there is demand, there is the possibility of trade.

There are many islands in the second island chain, reaching 12 islands, including three-person islands, eight-person islands, and six-person islands. As long as Qin Xiaobai saw that there was a ferry on the island, he would take his fleet close to the ferry to visit the players on the island and ask if the other party needed to buy food.

In the Empire novice map, almost all islands where the fighting is fierce have a natural need to buy food. Because there are very few players who are as perverted as Qin Xiaobai, all the more than twenty farmers go to the sea to fish, dominate a large fishing ground, and can get a lot of food.

The average player doesn't get much food.

Qin Xiaobai found more than a dozen player trade partners in the second island chain, and traded grain, wood, stones, and so on with them. He even trades with rival players on the same island, selling food for stone. The profit is between 10%~50%.

Of course, Qin Xiaobai's troops walked on the sea with ten war rafts and five transport rafts carrying full of resources, and it was inevitable that there would be players with red eyes and the idea of robbery. However, robbery requires a bit of skill, and if you don't even have technical content, you dare to come out and be a robber, which is too bold.

There were two white players in the second island chain who didn't know which country, and they formed a combined fleet of twenty war rafts, and rushed over with shouts, trying to grab Qin Xiaobai's transport raft full of stones.

Qin Xiaobai took these two "robbers" around the sea in a circle with great interest, and after the fleet circled more than ten times, he was depressed and found that the twenty rafts of the two white players were completely blocked together, separated by chaos and disorder, and the two white players were trapped in the middle of their rafts, unable to move.

The two players were still very unconvinced, shouting and shouting, telling Qin Xiaobai not to run away and to fight them head-on.

At the level of this raft, also robbery? Khan, forget it, I'm afraid that some people will say that we are bullying children, so let's let Hao Zizai and Ding come here to pick up experience.

Qin Xiaobai returned to the central island with the fleet and told Hao Zizai and Ding that two rabbits were waiting for them at sea.

A few minutes later, Hao Zizai and Ding rushed out in a hurry, excitedly rushing towards the prey at sea. For an hour, they swaggered back on the raft and returned satisfied, as if they had eaten a full meal, and carried a lot of supplies.

"It was so cool to smash it just now, ha, Lao Tzu has been promoted to level 8 in one go!" "I'm already level 8! Wu Qin, you see, these are the materials that Wu Hao and I snatched back from the tribes of those two players, there are nearly a thousand. "Brother, you didn't see the stupid appearance of the two stupid birds, haha, when we ran over, they were still trapped there."

Qin Xiaobai shook his head, these two guys had been following him for a long time, and they had begun to become easy to fight and kill. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least he doesn't have to worry about the two of them being easily beaten by others after entering the strategic map.

At noon on December 17, the last trade was completed, and Qin Xiaobai finally prepared the 20,000 grains, 6,000 wood, and 4,000 stones needed for the tribe to upgrade to the Bronze Age. He instructed the peasants to upgrade the thatched huts by transporting and storing all the resources piled up at the ferry.

The Stone Age to the Bronze Age takes five hours.
