Chapter 161: The Market Opens

There are also a lot of things mentioned in the message sent by Zhang Yao, and the information about the two cursed objects, the Wish Doll and the Prayer Thousand Paper Crane, is worth noting.

Especially the latter.

Cheng Shen was very interested in the exchange.

The price of the use of the Prayer Thousand Paper Crane is to randomly devour one of the organs of the wisher, which may be internal organs, brains, facial features and other vital organs, directly causing death, but it may also be the appendix and tonsils.

No doubt.

It is definitely the former that has a higher probability.

After all, the effect of this curse is inherently malicious, and even if the scope of the wish is clear, it may cause all kinds of accidents.

The calamity is greater than the harvest.

This is absolutely true.

However, for the vast majority of survivors, the use of this curse item does not require them to venture out of danger at all...... Whether you recruit or enslave units, you can use this item instead of survivors!

Therefore.

It doesn't matter how effective it is.

This kind of curse can predict that it will be widely sought after in the circle of survivors......

Zhang Yao was in a special situation, he couldn't recruit any units until he unlocked control of that castle.

This is also one of the reasons why Cheng Shen will be born to exchange ideas.

He examined the three cursed objects he had, and the parchment could be ruled out directly.

Cheng Shen deeply suspected that this cursed object could be used at most once.

Moreover, the next time you use it, it will definitely cause those two corpses that fuse three strange characteristics to lose control.

It made him even frightened to break the seal rune now.

Soul Killer Blade......

Cheng Shen is reluctant.

He can ignore the negative effects of this curse object, there is no curse more suitable for his own use, and the Soul Slayer Blade is his only offensive curse object, which is equivalent to one of his hole cards.

Come and think about it.

The only thing he could exchange for was the candle of the stars.

But before that, he had to deal with the three weird ones suppressed in the territory.

"After studying the magic circle in the gargoyle ruins, the rune knowledge I have should be enough to make a man-made curse...... However, how to resist the erosion of dark energy is still a problem. ”

Cheng Shen pondered in his heart.

He plans to look for an opportunity at tomorrow's trade fair to see if anyone sells such items or equipment.

Of course.

He's going to get the news out first tonight.

Zhang Yao's adventure continues, and on the premise that he can still use a meat chopping knife, I hope he can smoothly explore a few more areas.

It would be nice to find more diaries.

Cheng Shen mentioned to him the suspected source of the curse, the "door".

Hot.

……

The deep night is like an oil painting rendered with monotonous black paint, and the territory under the night gradually becomes silent from busy and noisy.

Late at night.

Most of the farmers and workers who had completed their shifts had gone to sleep, and only two teams of guards who had just changed their guard were still patrolling the territory dutifully, and there was a dull and muffled sound of armor and stomach crashing as they walked.

Perimeter of the territory.

At the suggestion of Amy, the administrator of affairs, eight watchtowers have been erected.

These towers have no special attributes, but they provide a wider view for the guards.

Although, the range of views that can be seen in the dark night is extremely limited.

However, in the event of an enemy attack, it can at least serve as a timely warning.

It's a pity that the scout guards are still trapped in that magic array and haven't been recovered, and Cheng Shen doesn't want to go out and risk at night. Thankfully, the mental link to the Scout Guard was not broken, ensuring that it was in a safe position.

There's no hurry.

Airplanes!

A crimson vortex suddenly lit up in the territory, and Cheng Shen walked out of it with four iron-blooded soldiers.

He's preparing more goods for sale for tomorrow's fair.

Meantime.

You can also upgrade the level of newly recruited Iron Soldier by the way.

One dungeon, three bosses, and nearly eighty mobs can probably farm 8~90,000 experience points without counting the level gap.

Five units are divided equally.

A unit below level 10 can be upgraded to level 2~3 at a time, and a unit above level 10 can also ensure the speed of a dungeon level 1.

Extremely efficient.

And the teams led by Cheng Shen or Al Jieka respectively can basically keep the progress of a copy at about 7 minutes.

Again, this is because the main time is spent on the road.

But.

This leveling method consumes too much energy for the two of them.

And after level 20, the two of them will no longer be able to gain experience from the dungeon, and the explosion rate will be reduced by a certain amount.

So.

After Cheng Shen led the team a few times, he formed a formation according to the configuration of three fifteenth-level iron-blooded soldiers and two recruits, and let them train on their own.

Such a configuration.

It takes about 20 minutes to clear a dungeon.

The Contaminated Library can open up to 10 dungeon maps at the same time, and the upgrade efficiency is still very impressive.

One night.

Cheng Shen recruited a total of fifty iron-blooded soldiers, all of whom reached level 15 or above.

This is a rather perverted number......

You must know that even the third-ranked Black Bull, who challenged him at the beginning, failed to have such a large number of sophisticated units!

Not an exaggeration.

With these fifty elite units alone, we can sweep away most of the survivors at this stage, and even the forces including the Chaos Lord!

To this point.

Cheng Shen's investment in training soldiers can be temporarily stopped.

It's not that he doesn't want to recruit more soldiers.

However, after the establishment of professional unions and the improvement of order in the territory, the guards also needed to pay wages.

And their pay will go up with their rank.

A fifteenth-level iron-blooded soldier, not counting the investment in equipment, just has to pay them a salary of 3 gold a week!

Fifty soldiers.

Cheng Shen will be paid 150 gold coins in a week!

I can't afford to expand......

Of course.

If the equipment and materials produced by the quest can be sold in the trade market, or if his progress in exploring the surrounding area is hindered.

Naturally, this matter will be discussed separately.

……

Winter, winter, winter!

Wooden stakes and planks were quickly built into a platform occupying nearly 100 square meters with the efforts of more than a dozen carpenters.

There are also many farmers who are busy.

Wooden and stone buildings, exchanges, arenas, taverns, and pre-built rental shops soon rose in the empty market, which filled most of the market.

Cheng Shen changed his mind.

No more recreational facilities were built.

That's because the other survivors were more enthusiastic about investing than he expected.

Originally, he had expected that twenty shops would be enough.

But before it opened, the club's manager, Velvet, gave him a list.

All of them are investors who are interested in renting his shop at a high price.

There were hundreds of people.

The business plans they submitted were even more varied, which made Cheng Shen deeply feel that his previous thinking was not broad enough.

For example, one of the survivors submitted that Fang Yu wanted to open a monster girl shop in his market......

This survivor gains the ability to sign a contract of enslavement with monsters by changing classes.

And he can also trade the monsters that signed the contract to others.

It just so happened that after the survivor changed jobs, he encountered a wave of forest elves attacking the city.

Well.

It's the kind of forest fairy with a particularly good body......

There are many similar eucalyptus, and after countless tests, the survivors who have survived until now have a clear enough idea of survival.

Cheng Shen simply let go of his authority in this regard.

Let them play freely.

He only needs to master the two main revenue industries, the exchange and the arena, to make enough money.

Another business to be in his hands was the tavern.

Taverns are specific buildings, and they also involve the rarity of randomly recruited units, so they must be put into operation.

Speaking of which.

None of the special characters were recruited in the tavern on either day.

It was a grocery store that was refreshed every day, and it brought Cheng Shen an unexpected surprise last night.

【Ranch】

【First Order】

[Grade: Excellent]

[Level: 1]

[Effect: Designate an area as a pasture, and beasts can be randomly refreshed in the pasture, including but not limited to (pigs, cows, sheep, horses, hares...) Beasts will change to a certain extent depending on the environment.]

[Trait: +15% chance of refreshing high-quality beasts]

……

Cheng Shen has never found any living creatures in the forest, and his meat sources are all from siege monsters, but the harvest is severely limited by the type of monsters, and the meat of many monsters is inedible.

And now, with this ranch drawing, Cheng Shen sees the hope of raising and breeding meat animals by himself.

Guarantee this one.

can solve the problem of a major source of food in the territory.

With the grain and vegetables produced by hundreds of farmlands, Cheng Shen can already produce and be self-sufficient in food.

And that's not all.

There are also sheep in the pastures, which produce wool and make warm clothing.

And horses!

It can train war horses and cavalry!

Although Cheng Shen's forest environment was not suitable for him to train cavalry, this did not prevent him from selling it. If he can manage a ranch properly, the income he brings will at least not be weaker than the income of the dungeon!

But the problem he has to face is that

There are no grasslands.

The beasts that refresh the ranch and change depending on the surrounding environment.

Cheng Shen demarcated the pasture within the scope of the forest, and it was destined to only refresh the beasts suitable for forest survival.

Can you spawn horses in the forest?

It's a bit of a hanging......

The exact amount of Cheng Shen can only be verified after a 24-hour refresh cycle.

He just wanted not to refresh anything weird......

It's noon.

Everything is ready to go.

Except for the arena, which is still unable to officially open today due to the lack of gladiators, all other facilities have been built.

Cheng Shen carefully checked it again.

Make sure the settings are correct.

The permissions are turned on.

The members of the Society, who had already been notified, immediately descended into the Trade Market through his open teleportation node.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

White light flashed one after another.

Figures dressed in different costumes appeared on the empty streets of the market, men and women, standing in dense concentration, shrouded in a surging light, like virtual projections, many overlapping each other.

Countless faces meet.

Cheng Shen was suddenly in a trance, as if he had returned to a shopping mall in the real world, and it was like a tourist attraction on holidays.

There are too many people.

There are thousands of members in the club, and at least more than half of them come to participate in the transaction!

Fortunately, the rules in the trade market are special, which is equivalent to countless overlapping spaces.

The number of people that can be accommodated is theoretically close to infinity.

Otherwise, a serious stampede will occur the moment it is opened.

"This is the Elder's territory?"

"Damn, it's a grand scene! I didn't expect to see so many living people! How do you suddenly feel like you're dying without regrets! ”

"It's like a world away......"

"Who am I, where am I, I can't even see the way!"

"You can't see the way? I can't even see where I am! ”

"Is there a possibility that you're too short?"

"Fart! I'm 192! ”

"Eh, don't squeeze! I've been squeezed out of my waist! Money!! ”

"Who's ass smacked me in the face...... No, it's ......"

"Rogue !!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The noisy and noisy roared like a big wave, so messy that people couldn't hear the communication between each other at all, Cheng Shen immediately noticed his lack of experience after a short moment, and hurriedly opened the permission management list.

"Set the maximum number of people who can display the same screen: 30!"

Swish!

The figure in front of him suddenly diminished, as if it had been erased by an eraser one by one.

In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of figures left on the entire street.

It still seems a little deserted.

But these figures will change their appearance every second, in fact, the number of people has not decreased, but under the influence of the system, the number of people who can be seen at the same time is only thirty, and there will be no more crowding.

And.

The conversations that everyone can hear are also transmitted only to the appropriate population.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Cheng Shen then spoke through the system authority.

"If you want to communicate alone, you can enter the name of the other party in the channel settings, apply to form a team, and you can see each other at any time!"

"If you want to apply for a store rental, come to my left-hand place to sign up!"

"If you want to apply for a stall transaction, you only need to select a location in the open space that does not hinder movement, and you can pay a fee and make a transaction!"

"All transactions are guaranteed by the system, absolutely safe and reliable!"

"In addition, all items traded in this market can earn corresponding quota points, which can be exchanged for special prizes!

Note! In order to ensure that all transactions are fair and effective, malicious points are not allowed in this market!

Once discovered, it will be immediately expelled from the market! Never enter! ”

"My trade fair will be officially held in half an hour!"

"Everyone is free to visit now!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

On Cheng Shen's left-hand side, Eugene, who has a round body and a smile on his face all the time, has set up a simple office counter.

Of course.

Signing a lease contract here is much simpler.

All the terms are handled by the system, and the contract can be formed directly, and even the step of signing can be omitted.

In order to attract businessmen to settle in for a long time, Cheng Shen made obvious concessions in commercial tax.

Including, opening the exchange half an hour late is also one of the conditions of the contract, which gives them plenty of time to run their own business.

In the face of such generous treatment, except for a few people, there are basically no additional conditions to negotiate.

Shops were quickly leased.
