Chapter 545: Mall Origin
"Don't use that thing against me!"
Lin Feng thought in his heart, it seems that John Lee knows the scanner, so he must also know the Universe Mall, in fact, Lin Feng has already thought about this problem.
It's just that he doesn't know what kind of thing the mall is in other advanced civilizations. Is it one for each person, or is it just one representative like the earth.
If it's the latter, then it's normal that John Lee doesn't know the scanner.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
John Lee kept dodging into the corner, but Lin Feng's entire room was empty, there was nothing to cover, and the door was locked by Lin Feng.
"What's the matter, my friend, are you afraid of this thing? It's just a scanner. β
"I ...... How could I be afraid of a scanner, huh...... I thought it was a weapon......"
"Make it up, you keep making it up. β
Lin Feng approached step by step, and he was now more curious about why John Lee was afraid of a scanner.
"Friend Lin Feng, don't come over yet, you listen to me. John Lee was blocked in the corner, and finally gritted his teeth and was ready to reveal a little truth, "Although I don't know where you got this thing from, I want to tell you, it's dangerous, can you put it away first, I'll tell you everything I know." β
Lin Feng thought about it, and expected that he wouldn't be able to play any tricks, so he hung the scanner on his waist, raised his eyebrows and asked him to continue.
John Li breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and then said slowly: "Friend Lin Feng, you must think that I am deceiving you, but I can tell you clearly that everything I told you is true.
"The hypothesis of the origin of life and the universe, including the purpose of our interstellar travel, is true.
"I'm just hiding something from you. β
"Why?" Lin Feng asked, "You have also discovered advanced intelligent civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy and the Black-Eyed Galaxy, why do you want to hide it?"
"Yes, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Black-Eyed Galaxy, including your galaxy, all have highly intelligent civilizations, and the degree of technological civilization is much more advanced than that of your earth. I mean the Earth 37 years ago, and now they should be relatively backward. β
Lin Feng somewhat disagreed with this statement, other galaxies also have high-tech products that can be bought, and the technology is so advanced, can't they study and study like him, and then build a little by themselves?
Aliens can't be dumber than themselves, this is most likely John Lee deliberately said this to win his favor. Human beings can be called old and refined after living for dozens of years, not to mention that this thing has lived for 1 million years.
"I don't know how to explain it to you, because I don't know how much you know about the rules of cosmic trading. β
Look, this is a clichΓ© again, so Lin Feng said: "I don't know what the trading rules are, this thing was found in a ruin, and I found that it seems to know everything." β
"Is this really found in the ruins?"
"Of course, even our current technology is obtained from that ruin. β
Lin Feng wouldn't tell John Lee about the Universe Mall, and it made sense to push it all to one ruin. He wanted to see if John Lee would take the initiative to say anything about the Universe Mall.
"I advise you not to use it lightly in the future," John Lee said as he seemed more reassured, "and it will cause you endless trouble." β
"Why?"
"There are many things you don't know, and the universe is not all peace-loving races like us, some races rely on their technology to be far ahead of other races, and they begin to scavenge resources in the universe on a large scale, bullying and even destroying other lower civilizations. β
Speaking of this, John Lee secretly looked at Lin Feng and found that he seemed to be listening, so he continued: "Of course, I don't mean the big-mouthed spider, but a race with advanced space warships that can come and go freely in the vast universe and destroy a star system with a single shot.
"They're like a bunch of bullies, but they're so powerful that even we Kuva are no match for them.
"Then they got tired of this direct plunder, and someone came up with something called the Mall, which was a complete hoax.
"We Kuva people first joined this mall alliance, and we were ecstatic to sell our resources, only to get a bunch of useless currencies that could only buy low-grade products.
"We have been deceived and paid a terrible price, we have given the precious resources of the entire planet with both hands, and we have bought back a pile of useless garbage.
"But we don't have any reason at all, because the strength of the formation of the mall is too strong, and in their eyes, our Kuva Star Clan is not worth mentioning at all. β
"And then?" Lin Feng asked with a smile in his heart, this smearing mall is too sparing, "Your planet's resources are gone, how did you survive?"
"So we travel in the stars, wandering, living without a fixed home. β
Well, it's time to sell sympathy again.
But Lin Feng would never believe his words again.
It is true that it is possible that the Universe Mall is hiding an ulterior secret, just like John Lee said, through trading, they are able to obtain the resources of the earth, and what is provided to the earth is only outdated technology.
But so what, even if it is an outdated technology, it is a terrible technology for the earth, and it can save human beings dozens or hundreds of years of groping, isn't it?
Besides, Lin Feng has not taken too many earth resources to sell on the mall until now, and the most are salmon, tuna and the like, and starry sky silk, iron peach and super battery are not native products on the earth in the first place.
"Have you been selling your planet's resources without producing something else to sell?"
"This ...... Yes, the main star of our Kuva star is larger than the Earth and is extremely rich in resources, and at that time, in order to exchange for more currency, we went on a mining spree, and in the end, we sold almost all the resources and failed to buy the space battleship we wanted!
"Even if there is one more main star's resources, it will not be enough to buy a battleship!
"So they're liars! they're our enemies! I don't want you to repeat our mistakes!"
Lin Feng really wanted to laugh.
This Kuva seems to be very smart, but when it comes to doing business, why are they so stupid?
In order to buy a warship, it is necessary to launch the entire planet to directly sell resources, isn't it a bad pen?
"You don't know how to make a step-by-step process, or make some tech products that other people need and sell them to make money?"
"Our race is only interested in studying the mysteries of the universe," John Lee was a little embarrassed, "In the past, we had a lot of resources, people could use them at will, they had no worries about food and clothing, and there was never such a concept of doing business. β
It turned out that they were naΓ―ve and stupid, can this be blamed on the Mall Alliance?
It's like a rich kid who takes a fancy to a rare treasure and sells all his possessions, only to find that the money is still not enough, so he spends the money from the sale of his property elsewhere, and ends up destitute.
Do you think you can blame the people who sell things? You can only blame yourself for not having a brain.
However, Lin Feng still cared a lot about what he said, that is, before the mall was established, everyone was still calling and grabbing.
Fighting and robbing is nothing else, most of them are for resources.
Later, some people thought that this would not work, so they made a universe mall, and then let the entire universe civilization do trade together, I don't know who first proposed this method, Lin Feng admired his brain, and of course admired his strength even more.
"When was this mall alliance established?"
"About 100,000 Earth years ago," John Lee returned, "it wasn't until after the fading of the main star that we began to explore the universe on a large scale." β
Did you start wandering after going bankrupt, the story of this Kuva is really a bit bleak, and Lin Feng estimates that this is probably close to the truth.
So he took advantage of John Lee's lack of attention, quickly removed the scanner from his waist and swept it at him.
"Drop, living Kuva star, mall reputation: -10000!"
Lin Feng and John Lee's eyes widened at the same time, John Lee was shocked, he didn't expect that after saying so much, Lin Feng still swept him away.
And Lin Feng was shocked by this reputation value, how could he get such a low reputation evaluation?
