Chapter 255: The Vampire City

Ji Xiu talked with Principal Lian Daofu for a long time, and most of the time Principal Lian Daofu was asking questions, and Ji Xiu was answering.

Lian Daofu knew Ji Xiu's true origin, because Lian Daofu knew that there was a star gate in Wuxing, but this star gate was not in the location of Xiucheng in the fishing village, but in another place. And Ji Xiu also learned at this time that there are two stargates in Wuxing, and Ji Xiu at this time does not know anything about the situation of the other stargate.

Due to the extremely backward Wuxing, the extremely closed information exchange, and the restriction of population flow, only a few higher-level Wuxing people know about the existence of the Tangram Star civilization, and the vast majority of Wuxing people do not know about the Star Gate and the Tangram.

And Lian Daofu is one of the very few people who know about the existence of the Tangram Star civilization, but Lian Daofu does not have any worries after knowing Ji Xiu's origin, because the Wuxing people have never tried to be invaded by foreign civilizations, even if Lian Daofu is a well-informed person, no matter how high his imagination is, he can't think of what Ji Xiu's opening of the Star Gate Passage means to the Wuxing people.

The invasion of foreign civilizations has written a bloody mark in the history of the Tangram, leaving a bloody pen and ink in history, the Wuxing people have not experienced these things, and now an alien Ji Xiu is standing in front of Lian Daofu, and it does not make Lian Daofu have the slightest sense of crisis, because this is beyond the scope of Lian Daofu's imagination, and Lian Daofu has no such concept in his mind.

Lian Daofu wanted to get the production method of the space magic array, and Ji Xiu was of course not stingy, so he reached some deals with Lian Daofu.

After Ji Xiu left the principal's office, he took Igu and Old Man Ande and left the Imperial Academy of Magic, while Sheng Qingqing automatically glued to Ji Xiu and left with Ji Xiu.

Under the leadership of Old Man Ande, Ji Xiu and his entourage soon came to the store of the Gulan Chamber of Commerce in Tianlan City, which is located in every city of the Gulan Empire and controls the economic lifeline and commodity circulation of the entire Gulan Empire.

The Gulan Chamber of Commerce shop in Tianlan City is many times better than the one in Shilan City, the shop in Shilan City is pitifully small, and there are only a dozen people in the shop. The Gulan Chamber of Commerce in Tianlan City includes almost the entire treaty seaport, from the seaport to the main site of the Chamber of Commerce to the peripheral commercial street, the building complex is connected into a large area, accounting for one-seventh of the area of Tianlan City.

The Gulan Chamber of Commerce controls the national economy, as long as it is related to money, the Gulan Chamber of Commerce has the right to intervene, for example, if civilians want to set up a stall to sell some vegetables and fruits, they must also go to the place designated by the Guran Chamber of Commerce to sell. Anyway, in the Guran Empire, whether you buy or sell something, you need to be authorized and licensed by the Guran Chamber of Commerce, and you can only trade in the places designated by the Guran Chamber of Commerce. Transactions that have not been supervised by the Gulan Chamber of Commerce will be recognized as illegal black market transactions, such as the tuition fee of 100,000 gold coins paid by Ji Xiu, which is actually a black market transaction.

Under the leadership of Old Man Ande, Ji Xiu barely had to wait in line to enter the crowded chamber of commerce hall. Ji Xiu could see that there were many people waiting with various things, and at the same time, he found that this was a deformed trading market, and the transaction efficiency was extremely low.

For example, there are two people, one fat and one thin, standing together, the fat man is holding a gold coin in his hand, and he wants to buy magic crystals. The thin man was holding a magic crystal, and he wanted to exchange it for a coin. While they can meet each other's needs, they can't trade privately because it's illegal.

The regular trading process is that the thin man has ten magic crystals, and if he wants to exchange them for coins, he can only sell the magic crystals to the Guran Chamber of Commerce, and be purchased by the Guran Chamber of Commerce at the price of one magic crystal for one silver coin.

The Guran Chamber of Commerce, by virtue of its power, forcibly bought the goods back and imposed the purchase price. Therefore, the magic crystal in the whole market will be concentrated in the hands of the Guran Chamber of Commerce, which also leads to the Gulan Chamber of Commerce having the final pricing power of the magic crystal.

Next, the fat person can take out the gold coins to buy the magic crystal from the Guran Chamber of Commerce, the price is determined by the Guran Chamber of Commerce, and it is also the only legal way to buy it. The Guran Chamber of Commerce exchanged ten silver coins for the price of a magic crystal, and then sold the magic crystal to the fat man, and the price increased tenfold in an instant from the purchase price to the selling price.

"Why they don't trade privately, no one knows. Ji Xiu asked.

"You'll soon find out. "Old man Ande led Ji Xiu into a small room, which is a VIP service that can only be used by big customers.

The decoration of the small room is very chic and very simple, there is a square table in the middle, and a bench is placed on each side of the square table, Ji Xiu sits directly on the bench, Sheng Qingqing sits next to Ji Xiu, Igu stands behind, and Old Man Ande stands next to him.

At this time, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, he sat opposite Ji Xiu, and said: "Hello guest, my name is Kirk, everyone calls me Manager Ke, and the guest was introduced by Ande, how do you call it?"

"Ji Xiu. Ji Xiu reported his name, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, pressed the paper directly on the square table, and said, "This is what I want, how much stock do you have?"

Kirk picked up the paper and took a brief look at it and saw more than forty different materials, many of which were extremely rare. This is not the most important thing, what frightened Kirk, the old businessman, almost changed his expression was the number written on it, and the number of materials written on the paper was hundreds of thousands at every turn.

Kirk felt the paper in his hand become as heavy as a mountain, he couldn't believe his eyes, Kirk put down the paper in his hand, and said calmly, "Guest, are you serious?"

Ji Xiu reached behind the bench with his backhand, used the space magic array to teleport a sack full of gold coins from Xiucheng to his hand, and then conjured a * bag from behind the bench like a trick.

Ji Xiu tore open the sack, and the gold coins poured out like a tide, Ji Xiu pointed to the gold coins that had submerged the square table and said: "People can lie, but gold coins don't lie, there are 100,000 gold coins here, do you think I'm serious now?"

Kirk's eyes almost popped out, both of his feet had been buried in gold, and it was a little difficult for him to stand up now.

"However, the amount listed on your piece of paper, 100,000 gold coins is not enough. Kirk said.

"Don't be nervous, I have the gold. Ji Xiu pushed away the gold coins in front of him and said in a deep voice, "But, do you have so many goods?"

Ji Xiu had already asked Old Man Ande before he came, in fact, in the entire Shilan City, there were only 10,000 gold coins of materials to survive, of course, only the materials that could build the Space Magic Array were counted, and the other materials were not counted.

At the beginning, the goblins disguised as humans came over to buy materials for millions of gold coins, which frightened the old man Ander at that time, especially when the goblin handed over the deposit of 100,000 gold coins, he was even more shocked, in fact, the old man Ander couldn't take out so many materials at all, so he caught the goblin.

According to the old man Ande, the 10,000 gold coin materials of Gulan City are actually to be transported to Tianlan City, and the goods of small cities are constantly transported to medium-sized cities, while the goods of medium-sized cities are transported to large cities, and resources and materials are constantly concentrated in large cities, and the higher-level cities are constantly sucking the blood of lower-level cities.

According to Old Man Ande, Tianlan City is a medium-sized city, and there are a total of eight small cities to support, and Tianlan City also has to support Gulan City, so the resources and materials stored in Tianlan City cannot meet Ji Xiu, according to Old Man Ande's estimate, Tianlan City can only take out materials of more than ten or two hundred thousand gold coins at most.
