Chapter 10: Home World (Part II)
Silent.
There was a long silence.
Wen Rou suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Shen Yi in the mirror, and Shen Yi also looked at her, with a playful smile in her eyes.
Gentleness suddenly rose a trace of anger in her heart for no reason: "...... You're a bastard, Shen Yi. ”
Saying that, he came out of Shen Yi's arms gently, walked to the salesman, pointed to the dress on his body, and then pointed to a few pieces not far away: "I want this one, and that, that and that." ”
"Is it a credit card or cash?"
"I only have cash, and I'd like to use them all up, if there's anything else to introduce. ”
Gently and quickly bought all the clothes, smoothly spent every penny in his hand, and then threw the big bag containing the clothes into Shen Yi's hand, and walked outside the mall by himself.
Shen Yi looked left and right, and while no one was paying attention to him, he threw all the bags into the blood coat of arms and hurriedly followed.
"Gentle!" he shouted.
Gentleness ignored him and walked forward on his own.
Shen Yi rushed over and grabbed her arm: "Gentle, don't be like this, you are not a child, you should know what is important and what is not!"
Gently shook off Shen Yi's hand and shouted at him: "Yes, you are powerful, you are smart! You can see through what others are thinking at a glance, and you can find out if there is a slight abnormality! That's right, the blood coat of arms also told me something, I didn't tell you." Because I know what the consequences will be if I tell you! But now I just want a simple, comfortable life! Why do we have to fight and kill in the mission world, and we have to train hard when we go back to the city, and now we finally have a paradise of our own, and we can finally relax and make ourselves nervous? I don't like that! I just want you to go shopping with me, talk and do some boring things! Can't we just relax for a while?"
Shen Yi spread his hands: "I've been with you." ”
"But you're absent-minded, you're thinking of something else!"
"I just want to know what the hell is going on in the home world. ”
"But I want you to be able to concentrate on me. I'd rather you yell at me out of impatience than because you're always patient with me for a purpose. You've been with me for three hours, but it's not for me, it's for the world, and the tasks you want!"
Perhaps only a woman can understand why she is so angry.
Shen Yi sighed lightly.
He took out a silk scarf from the coat of arms and sent it to Gentle's eyes: "You just bought it, you will use it, you know that most men do not have the habit of carrying handkerchiefs." ”
Looking at the silk scarf softly, she suddenly burst out laughing.
Laughter and tears welled up together, she took the silk scarf to wipe away her tears, and then looked at Shen Yi helplessly: "Do you always treat girls like this?"
Shen Yi raised his right hand: "I assure Mao/Chairman that there is absolutely no concept of 'always'. ”
Gentle rolled her eyes helplessly.
She turned around and walked forward, and Shen Yi followed closely.
After taking a few steps, he said gently: "As soon as I entered here, the blood coat of arms gave me a clear hint. In the home world, we can't get any extra tasks, but we can develop and run our own strength here. ”
"What's the point of not being able to take it to the Bloody City?"
"Of course it makes sense!" Gentle said with certainty, "The X-Men world is the world of the Aliens, here, as long as we meet the requirements of the city and do something, we can exchange for energy beads, I mean, the kind that can be brought back." ”
"Sure enough, you can get the energy beads, how can you get them?" Shen Yi asked.
"Simple, adventurers who own the home world can buy it directly with US dollars. One 100-point energy bead for every $200,000. In addition to energy orbs, ability scrolls can also be purchased. $600,000 for a random ability scroll, $1,200,000 for a specific ability scroll, and one more thing you can buy. ”
"What?"
"Identification scrolls. ”
Shen Yi's heart jumped: "You said the appraisal scroll?"
"Yes, a D-grade appraisal scroll, a D-grade appraisal scroll can be bought for only 400,000 US dollars, and a C-grade one is 1.2 million. ”
"That's great, it shouldn't be hard for us to get money, right?"
"If it's not legal, it's certainly not that hard. ”
Shen Yi's heart jumped: "Could it be ......?"
"That's right. City regulations, one: can not disclose the ability. Two: It must be the US dollars obtained under legal income to be used to buy those things we need. Three: It is not allowed to sell the products of the city to the home world for profit. Four: There is a cap on this purchase...... During each 10-day stay, you can only purchase up to $1,000,000,000 of things, which is the upper limit. The maximum amount can be accumulated, but the maximum amount can be accumulated is $4 million. In other words, if we want to buy a C-rank identification scroll, we must wait in the Bloody City for two months and participate in at least two missions, which is the fastest speed and the highest standard for obtaining items. ”
Shen Yi stopped, his brain racing to think about why the bloody city made such rules.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "It's almost certain now." The real role of the home world should be to reward a logistical supply base for adventurers who perform perfectly. Through this logistics base, we can get some additional resources on our own. But this resource is limited, it has a maximum supply, and it needs to be bothered to operate...... It is a special item that can provide us with a small amount of resources on a fixed basis, or a resource item. And to develop and manage the world is the way to use this kind of props. As for how much you can gain, it's up to you how you use it. ”
The home world is actually an adventurer's vegetable garden, which can grow the harvest they need by watering it.
No, it's not a vegetable garden, it's a flower pot, because it's so limited in what it can produce.
Even so, it is not easy to grow it well.
After all, adventurers are only allowed to stay in the home world for ten days per calendar month. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to make huge profits by legal means in ten days. However, the bloody city also blocked the possibility of their technology sales in advance, making them completely unable to take advantage of it. Of course, it is feasible to exchange blood points for US dollars and then buy energy beads, but the problem is that 200,000 US dollars need 10,000 blood points to exchange, 5,000 blood points for a 100 energy energy bead, or 20,000 blood points for a D-level identification scroll, such a price is obviously unrealistic, which is equivalent to raising the price by twenty times.
Then the only way is to run this home world well.
They can choose to spend the rest of their time here happily, or they can choose to start a business and work hard.
"Looks like we're going to have to call those guys. Thinking of this, Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
Looking at the gentle and helpless eyes, he felt apologetic in his heart.
He knew that Gentle would rather spend the nine-day vacation carefree than use his rare leisure time to open up a second battlefield.
Thinking of this, he said, "We can choose to do it as simply as possible." ”
"Is there a way to do that?" asked Gentle.
"Yes. Shen Yi replied affirmatively.
―――――――――――
An hour later, in an open field in Manhattan's central plaza, everyone was finally reunited.
As soon as he heard the conditions that he said gently, Hong Lang immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "What are you kidding? Make money legally? Can't disclose your ability? What is the difference between that and letting us be ordinary people? What else can we do now except steal and rob? What more money can we make than this?"
"Not necessarily. King Kong immediately said: "Stealing and robbing is actually the most risky and most limited benefit. In a capitalist society, it is still the fastest and safest way to use capital to make money. ”
"You mean business? That's impossible. One is that we don't have the funds. The second is that we don't have time management. Let's not forget that we can only stay here for ten days, and by the time we return here from our next mission, three hundred days have passed. The third is that we may not have that business ability. We are warriors, we are killers, we can do anything, we are not businessmen. ”
Shen Yi immediately said: "The problem of funds can be exchanged for bloody points." A thousand blood points can be exchanged for twenty thousand dollars, and this money can be used for many things. In terms of time, we really don't have enough. But don't forget that investors and operators are two different concepts. We can not be operators, only investors. In this way, the so-called third point of the worry of not having the ability to operate, there is also no need to worry. ”
"The problem is that you have to have that vision. ”
"If you don't try, how do you know if it's okay or not. Shen Yi replied with a grin.
"Where to start?"
"Let's start with stock investment, which is the easiest and quickest to get money. By the way, remember what Gentle said that negotiations between humans and mutants have already begun? This means that peace will soon be restored in New York, and it may not be long before peace is restored. If that's the case, Wall Street will soon be buzzing again. ”
"The problem is that it won't happen in ten days. ”
"Spring planting and autumn harvesting, that's what it is. I didn't expect much to gain in these 10 days, all we have to do now is get as much cash as we can, invest it in stock futures, etc., and then wait for the next mission to come back and see the harvest. 300 days...... It's been nearly a year, how can there be results, anyway, the city allows the accumulation of four months of the upper limit. ”
"And now?"
"Now...... There are still some companies that are functioning and some stocks that are still alive. Let's start with these companies. Shen Yi said and turned on the handheld computer, entered the U.S. stock market system, and pointed to a stock on it casually and said: "Before you came, I had studied these companies, and I was more optimistic about this stock, so I bet on it...... Down, suitable for shorting. ”
King Kong glanced at it and immediately said: "This is the stock of an arms company, other companies have been unlucky these years, they are rich, you bet on him to fall?"
"Yes!" Shen Yi replied very seriously: "And it will fall tomorrow." ”
