Chapter 104: Xu Yiqing's Partner
This won't take long, because the limit of the seed of life is about one-third of the tree of life in the previous world, and it is about to be close to one-half, according to this growth rate, it is estimated that it will not take half a month to grow to that point, and then you can start to condense the water of life and condense miracle life.
Of course, Lin Chen didn't want to condense the miracle life for the time being, this is too energy-consuming, and when condensing, it is necessary to extract a large amount of life energy from the Tree of Life, during this period, not only the water of life will stop condensing, but the power of the Tree of Life will also decline, and if the enemy invades during this period, the defensive strength will drop greatly.
According to Lin Chen's plan, the first stage is to condense some water of life on a limited basis, and in addition to spare, you can also sell some of it, and make a little money to return to the capital first.
In his ideal state, after the base has passed the first construction phase, the output and expenditure of the base should be balanced, and the minimum should not be too different.
Ten days to condense a drop of water of life, three drops a month, that is, three hundred eternal points into the account, but he has to save at least one drop of inventory a month, then a month is the income of two hundred eternal points.
The income of 200 eternal points a month is actually very good, even if it is the Far South Territory, under normal circumstances, the income of the entire territory in a month may not be enough for 100 eternal points.
But in the stage of private territory development, it is really like flowing money, no matter how much money is not enough, most of them have been losing blood, and if they want to return to their capital, it is generally decades or hundreds of years later.
And the premise of wanting to return to the capital is that the territory can be developed successfully, and if it is not successful, there will be no future.
Lin Chen, this is quite very good, there is still an income of two hundred points every month at the beginning, as long as it is stable, it will not take long to maintain a balance between payments, and with the help of the ability of the tree of life to control the natural climate, the wind and rain can be smooth every year, no matter what you plant, you can have a bumper harvest, it is estimated that it will not take a few years to start making money on the basis of maintaining a balance of payments.
As the Tree of Life continued to grow, its power became more and more huge, and soon began to cause celestial changes, if it were not for the protection of this large-scale hidden magic circle, its powerful life force fluctuations would have been transmitted to other world fragments long ago, and I am afraid that it would not take a few days for a large number of adventers to rush over and snatch it.
Therefore, in addition to observing the growth of the Tree of Life every day in the past few days, Lin Chen's busiest thing is to build the space marker, build the teleportation platform as soon as possible, and connect to the Tower of Eternity a day earlier, so that he can feel at ease at that time.
The Tree of Life is extremely precious and coveted, there is no way, and the hidden magic circle is not invincible, and it will always be discovered after a long time, so he must do his best to communicate with the Tower of Eternity, and report the information of the Tree of Life to the sect to obtain the support of the sect.
As long as there is the support of the sect, even if someone covets it, he can only use formal means to take it, instead of sending a master to directly destroy him.
As one of the doormen, even if it ranks low in the door, it is also a door, and the deterrent is enough, even if the top-ranked doormen and those high-ranking holy places will not come to take his things, this belongs to the unspoken rules agreed between the sects, and is maintained by all the sects of the entire Tower of Eternity, even the Demon Gate is no exception.
After all, if there are no unspoken rules, you can't even block the siege of a large number of sects even in the Holy Land, and you can't beat the strong people in your Holy Land, so it's okay to secretly kill your disciples, if a sect disciple dies, that sect will automatically die.
As long as Lin Chen has the support of the sect, then even if the Tree of Life is exposed, he is not afraid, relying on the small strength of the Tree of Life and the Mountain Giant King, basically no one at the same level can attack his base.
After a few days of busy work, the space road marker has not yet been built, but Xu Yiqing came again, this time in addition to him, there is also a large flying boat with a length of 100 meters, which is a large engineering team, and the five hundred slaves he purchased.
The slaves are all human, needless to say, there will be no sequelae anyway, if there is no accident, if this group of slaves can survive all the time, they may be the first batch of people in his territory in the future.
The two-headed ogres, Akron and Akulon, were sent to bring these slaves to a corner of the base with a team of sand scorpions, where there was already a large area of simple stone houses with simple furniture such as stone beds and stoves, and when they arrived, they could bring their own clothes to live in.
The engineering team was led to live on the other side, and Lin Chen took a stack of drawings to find the leader of the engineering team and discuss how to build a base with several designers.
After chatting for a long time, Xu Yiqing also came over and participated in the discussion with great interest.
Over the course of two days, the design drawings were revised no less than ten times, and finally a plan was discussed to his satisfaction, and the engineering team was given full responsibility for the construction of the external area of the base.
But before he came back, Xu Yiqing knocked on the door again, and when he opened the door, he said angrily:
"If there's nothing important, you can save it for tomorrow."
Xu Yiqing showed his signature smile, and sat down without any anger, and said:
"Don't be angry, of course I'm here to discuss."
Lin Chen took a long breath, sat down on the bed, and said;
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xu Yiqing smiled on his face, and said with a straight face:
"Boss Lin, after this period of observation, I personally feel that you have the ability, strength, and potential, but you are short of money, I don't know if you are interested in accepting the investment of our Condor Chamber of Commerce?"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Yiqing with blazing eyes for a long time, and only when he saw that he was a little uncomfortable did he say with a smile:
"Where do you see I'm short of money?"
Xu Yiqing touched his head to hide the discomfort just now, his face quickly returned to his original state, and asked:
"Boss Lin is rich?"
Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders and said:
"It's not very rich, but it's not a problem to build a base."
"Hahaha..."
Xu Yiqing laughed out loud, and laughed until Lin Chen's eyebrows furrowed and he showed an unhappy look before he said:
"I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure you don't have a lot of money."
Lin Chen didn't answer but looked at him, Xu Yiqing saw that Lin Chen's expression didn't seem to be good, and the smugness on his face disappeared all of a sudden, he coughed lightly and put away the Guan Zi who was ready to sell, and said tightly:
"I know that Boss Lin has been preparing for a long time, and he must have a large amount of eternal points in hand, but your preparation is based on normal territory construction, and it can be done in normal times, but it is not enough in this world, it is not enough."
Lin Chen's eyebrows have always been wrinkled, and when he heard this, he straightened up and listened attentively, and Xu Yiqing didn't sell Guan Zi and continued:
"This world is different from the past, its more than 1,600 world fragments of different sizes are connected, that is to say, more than a dozen lords who have established bases now and dozens of lords who are building bases are all in one world, you need to face not only one or two opponents, but hundreds of opponents, and the competition will definitely be fierce in the future."
"The most direct way to compete with each other is war, and war costs money, if the war lasts for a long time, spend more money, with normal capital reserves, it will definitely not allow you to stick to it all the time, our Condor Chamber of Commerce has strong funds and enough ....."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Chen suddenly interrupted Xu Yiqing's boasting and asked:
"Your Condor Chamber of Commerce, do you support other lords?"
Xu Yiqing was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Yes, maybe you can listen to my introduction."
Lin Chen stared at him for a while, then lay down again:
"I listen to what you say."
Xu Yiqing sat down and said:
"In our Condor Chamber of Commerce there is such a rule, if the new generation of chamber of commerce newcomers want to become the core of the chamber of commerce in the future, they must far surpass the excellent results of others, one of the ways is to find a potential outstanding young man to invest in it before the beginning, each person has only one chance, and finally within the limited number of years, the return on investment to determine the winner, the higher the return on investment, the better my vision, if I can rank high in this generation of newcomers, I may become the core of the new generation, After the retirement of his predecessors, he took over some of the power of the Condor Chamber of Commerce. ”
Lin Chen heard it, just like the core disciples or true disciples of the sect, the best group is the core disciples or true disciples of the sect, and they will be the future high-level and even the head of the sect, and the same is true for Xu Yiqing Divine Eagle Chamber of Commerce, but the name is different.
He didn't bother, and listened to Xu Yiqing continue:
"My senior sister Hongyu, that is, the lady we met for the first time, has already chosen an investment object, in this world, with the help of my senior sister, she has gained a foothold in this world, established a complete base, and has a third-order nest heart, three second-order nest hearts, now because it has not been a long time, he has not accumulated many troops, but his foundation is too good, and he will be able to organize a certain scale of troops in a few months, and if this trend continues, he will be able to organize a large army to sweep the surrounding world fragments in a few years."
When he heard a third-order nest heart and three second-order nest hearts, Lin Chen shook his eyebrows and asked with some surprise:
"These nest hearts are all supported by your senior sister?"
Xu Yiqing shook his head:
"All the purchased materials have to be paid, but if it is an investment partner, although it will not get a price discount, it can obtain higher permissions, and you can buy some things that ordinary people can't buy in this chamber of commerce, such as some rare and powerful nest hearts, water of life, world origin power, etc., these can only be purchased by investment partners, and others are only eligible to buy by members above silver."
"Si!"
Lin Chen was surprised, this permission surprised him extremely much.
Don't look at him now, he is now a Black Iron VIP member, but if he wants to be promoted to a Silver VIP member, he may not be able to take his turn in his life, and he already knows the membership upgrade conditions when he gets the Black Iron membership card.
Black iron members need to trade more than 1,000 eternal points in the Condor Chamber of Commerce, and black iron to bronze, directly increased by a hundred times to 100,000 eternal points, bronze to silver, and instantly increased by 1,000 times to 100 million eternal points, as for gold VIP members, the conditions are unknown, because the highest conditions shown on the card are silver members, and there are no conditions for upgrading gold VIP.
But think about it, the silver VIP needs a full 100 million eternal points in the transaction volume, according to this incremental increment, the next order God knows how terrifying, it must be an astronomical amount that can make the heart muscle infarction.
However, Lin Chen was not attracted by the qualification authority comparable to a silver-level VIP member, but asked very seriously:
"What do I have to pay if I become your investment partner?"
Xu Yiqing also replied seriously:
"You don't need to pay anything, the only thing you have to do is to become strong quickly, the stronger you are, the higher the authority you will get in our Chamber of Commerce, and my status in the Chamber of Commerce as your investor is also rising, that is to say, the two of us are one, hello and I will be good."
"Hmm..."
Lin Chen stretched out a finger and pointed at his eyebrows, paused and raised his head and said:
"It shouldn't be that simple, you really want to cooperate with me, tell all the advantages and disadvantages, don't just say the good aspects, I don't believe that it's all good things and no bad things."
Xu Yiqing immediately replied:
"Normally, there is no harm in it, our chamber of commerce is different from the sect, everything depends on whether you can make money to bring benefits to the chamber of commerce, as our investor, the normal situation is just competition, and there is no clear provision to divide life and death, but this time is different."
As he spoke, he changed his words and said:
"It's unfortunate this time, my guide, that is, my master, is one of the leaders of this Chamber of Commerce in the Thunder Abyss World Fragment Group, and all my senior brothers and sisters have all come to the Thunder Abyss World Group, so..."
"So I have a lot of competitors this time?"
Lin Chen's face immediately pulled down, and he said that there is no such good thing in the world, there is no free lunch in the world, let alone pies in vain, like Xu Yiqing said If there is really no harm, he can just go to those inner disciples who come to the door, most of them have excellent talents and have mines in their homes, and the combination of the two can be earned, how can it be used to find him single-handedly and not even a formal disciple.
In fact, he also suspected that it was not only in the Thunder Abyss World Group, even if the competition between the newcomers of the Condor Chamber of Commerce was fierce at other times, and it was even more likely that there would be a winner among the investors, a giant Chamber of Commerce that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, how could the ceremony of selecting the helm of the Chamber of Commerce be so childish, and it was possible that this was only part of it, in addition to these, there were other challenges, maybe it was entirely possible.
So he said to Xu Yiqing very directly:
"I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in the competition between your chambers of commerce, I'm just an ordinary person, my family business is too small to withstand the storms of such a big chamber of commerce as yours, you better go find someone else."
But to his surprise, Xu Yiqing was not disappointed or angry, just shook his head with a smile and said:
"It's too late, and you have no other choice."
