Chapter 228: Auctions, Market Barriers, Islanders!
A large number of Maple Grove players gathered in the Cat's Tail Tavern.
With so many players coming, some of them exceeded Ji Chen's expectations.
After inquiring, it was learned that all the mountain trolls had withdrawn, and the turtles had retreated into the Alvin Mountains.
This is undoubtedly the credit of the previous action of the fraudster, without the assistance of the fraudster, the mountain troll is not the opponent of the Maple Wood Principality and the elves at all, and is driven around by the airship fleet and the ground, killing and wounding countless people.
Therefore, he resolutely withdrew from the army and became a turtle.
Seeing this, the Duchy of Maple Grove and the elves did not pursue again, but also chose to withdraw to end the war.
When the war ended, the players who went out also chose to return to rest after getting paid, and it happened to coincide with the auction being held, so there were many players.
Due to the large number of players, Luo Yang had to temporarily change the auction location from the Cat's Tail Tavern to the street outside.
A wooden platform was erected on the street as an auction table, and hundreds of wooden chairs were placed in front of it, but this did not stop the enthusiasm of the sand witherers.
The streets are mountainous, the houses on both sides, and the rooftops are crowded with players.
Some players gathered here with so many people, keenly smelled the business opportunity, and immediately sat on the spot, began to set up stalls, shouting and shouting, and the sound of scolding suddenly sounded.
The Black Gold Fang, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly became one of the most lively places in Fenglin City, and this formation attracted the soldiers patrolling nearby, looking at the scene of the vegetable market that was even more vegetable market than the vegetable market, and they all looked at this group of glory lords with some disdain.
I thought to myself that it was really from the countryside, what kind of system did this look like?
Scolding and scolding, but still doing his duty to garrison the neighborhood, watching them fiercely to prevent any moths from appearing.
A street-facing room on the third floor of the Cat's Tail Tavern.
Ji Chen sat on the sofa and looked through the glass at the lively street outside.
With a glass of wine in his hand, he took a slow and methodical sip.
At this moment, there was a slightly hurried footstep outside the door.
There was a soft knock on the door.
"Zhao Gongzi, it's me."
It's Luoyang.
"Come in." Ji Chen said unhurriedly, the door was opened, Luo Yang walked in with some anxiety on his face, and walked over after gently closing the door.
The tone was a little anxious.
"Now the players are almost there, but it seems that the auction has not yet arrived, so they may have an opinion if it continues."
Ji Chen glanced at him and said.
"Don't worry, things will arrive soon."
Seeing the surging look on Ji Chen's face, Luo Yang was also a little relieved.
"How's that going with what I told you to do?"
"The shop on the street has already started to be renovated and will be ready for use soon, but with all due respect, what are you going to sell that shop for?"
According to what Luo Yang knew, there seemed to be only a few territorial specialties that Ji Chen had brought, precious from forest trees, golden sea bass, specialty coffee beans, weapons and equipment, and the never-before-seen Jiaojiao.
These specialties are valuable enough, but they seem to have been traded with the merchants and elves of Maplewood for a long time, so they are not suitable for sale in the shops.

Do you want to sell some ordinary supplies?
In terms of income, if the shop in such a good location sells some ordinary goods, it is better to rent them out directly, so that there is a relatively stable income, and selling ordinary goods will only lose money.
"We sell wine."
This is also what Ji Chen has thought about a long time ago, the market for wine is very broad.
The man he found from the homeless was a gifted winemaker who produced the best wines, so he would not let go of such a lucrative product.
Selling wine?
Luo Yang hesitated, but said anyway.
"Zhao Gongzi, this thing is wine... On the side of the Principality of Maple Forest, you can't just sell it casually. ”
This made Ji Chen suddenly puzzled, "Why?" ”
"The reason is very simple, if you want to produce and sell wine in Blue Star, you must obtain a series of certificates to be qualified to sell, and it is similar here."
"But the problem is that it's not easy to qualify for sales here."
"The Principality of Maple Grove is located by the sea, and the climate and soil are very suitable for growing grapes, so it produces a lot of wine."
"And you know that there are such things as wine, and the profits are enough to make any merchant jealous, so there are some powerful people on the side of the Maple Grove who have joined forces to distribute alcohol sales licenses to a very small number of people who are with them.
Other liquor merchants are not allowed to sell alcohol at all, and they are not even allowed to enter the domestic market..."
Ji Chen frowned, isn't this trade barriers and market access?
Through the official right to prevent other liquor from entering, so as to achieve the effect of monopoly.
Previously, the specialties brought by the crown of the ocean were all lacking in the Maple Grove Principality, so naturally there would be no conflict of interest with it, but it was difficult to say about goods like wine.
This is a question worth considering.
Ji Chen thought about it, and felt that he had to find out about this matter with a businessman like Gilder.
"Okay, I'll take care of this."
Luo Yang nodded and didn't ask, what should be said and what should not be said, he knew very well.
Ji Chen took this matter to heart and continued to focus on the outside.
As Luo Yang said, the players who gathered found that the auction had not started for a long time, and began to have opinions.
"Is this auction going to be open? It's been so long since I saw a shadow, but I left my time-limited mission here. ”
"Zhao Gongzi and Luo Yang are afraid that they are not playing us? Have a different world version of the Beacon Opera princes? ”
Seeing the players talking about it, Luo Yang couldn't help but look at Ji Chen again, but found that he still looked determined.
It's like you're in control.
Just as many players are getting more and more emotional, and some are even ready to leave.
An elf team suddenly appeared outside the Black Gold Workshop, escorting dozens of freight wagons into the workshop slowly, looking at many players with a grim expression.
The wagons were covered in black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but the long queue of dozens of wagons was also quite spectacular.
At this time, Monkey Lixu and Monkey Lifa suddenly jumped out of that place and shouted loudly holding a simplified version of the horn.

[This sea lord is a bit strong] 【】
"The auction items in this auction are all provided by the islanders!"
As soon as these words came out, the player was stunned.
Is it the Islander they think they are?
As if guessing what they were thinking, Monkey Lixu and the others continued to shout: "That's right, that's exactly what you think, the Lonely Island Elder who once became famous in the secret realm of the Silver Islands and ranked at the top of the player rankings and territory rankings!" ”
"The Elder of the Lonely Island entrusts Zhao Gongzi to handle this batch of auction items!"
"The quality of the things given by the elder of the lonely island is absolutely guaranteed!
! ”
Sand witherers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see the shock in each other's eyes.
In fact.
Among the players in the middle of the ocean and along the coast.
The name of the lonely island can be described as thunderous.
Let's not talk about the name that is at the top of the rankings and hangs high, let's talk about the outstanding achievements that have been made before.
When the secret realm of the Silver Islands first appeared, he used the power of one person to sneak attack the multiple gates of the Blood Sea City, and cooperated with the players who were besieging the city, and established the advantage of attacking in one fell swoop.
Let the attacking player get a large number of crystals, just to be full.
The second is on King Kong Island, where a huge wave instantly engulfed several players who wanted to take advantage of the fire, and was famous for its terrifying personal strength and strong fleet strength.
These two real combat records are enough to prove the strong strength of the islanders.
Plus the touting of King Kong Island Players Alliance players.
Especially the crazy touting of the player who is also famous on the leaderboard, called I love black silk, praised him as the first person in the middle and west, handsome and generous, and so on.
This series of factors makes the Lonely Island faintly become the so-called strongest player in the middle of the ocean in the mouth of players.
However, since King Kong Island, the Lone Island has rarely appeared in chat channels and forums, which has slowly reduced the popularity of him.
Until now.
Say that the lot was provided by the Lonely Islander?
And it has so much energy that the elf who has always talked with his head tilted back will be transported in person?
This is also too face-saving!
At this time, the player's heart is shocked in addition to shock.
Doesn't this mean that the Elder of the Islanders has also come to the side of the Maple Grove Principality?
At this time, some players suddenly remembered that they had seen a player fighting with the commander of the elven fleet on the edge of the dock.
They remember that the player couldn't use the system to see the information, and only saw that the board was full of question marks.
Among them, some players who have previously taken over the logistics tasks of the elf army have also suddenly realized.
That night, they saw the elven army and the soldiers of the Duchy of Maple Grove saluting a player, and wondered who that player was and how he had such a hand.
Could that player be the Lonely Island himself?
Looking at the elf escorting the carriage, my heart became more and more certain.
If you don't get to know and help the elves, how can these elves deliver them themselves?
It's broken!
The Lonely Islander, unbeknownst to everyone, had already done several great things in the Principality of Maple Grove!
After figuring it out.
The players' emotions were suddenly high.
The resentment that had arisen from the long wait suddenly dissipated.

[This sea lord is a bit strong] 【】
This is the Lonely Islander, what's wrong with letting them wait a while?
At the same time, many players are also looking around, wanting to see the rumored Lonely Island Elder.
In this regard, the two Monkey Lixu, who had already been instructed, immediately picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "The elder of the lonely island is busy with affairs and did not come to the scene. ”
"The auction starts now!
! ”
The escorted elves also drove the carriage to the auction table one by one with a blank face, handed over the goods to the staff, and then dispersed quite tacitly, looking around, guarding the auction items to prevent some players from stealing chickens and dogs.
Soon, the staff began to follow the instructions in advance and start the auction.
Treasures, batches of war equipment, and weapons and equipment were auctioned off.
Most of the treasures are 1~3 stars, and treasures of this level are nothing to Ji Chen today, but they are quite precious to other players.
Most of the time, the treasures that they can obtain through commissions and quests are basically 1-star and 2-star.
As for the 3-star treasures, most of them are opened from the treasure chest, and only some high-risk commissions can be obtained on weekdays, and if they get one, they will use it as an heirloom.
And there are more than a dozen 3-star treasures that will appear in this auction.
It is enough to intuitively show that the Lonely Island is powerful, so powerful that he doesn't even care about 3-star treasures.
The weapons of war, the iron ballistas, the city defense ballistas, and the artillery, were at least in double digits, and a few were enough to arm a small territory.
And here they are all auctioned in units of ten.
The cores of the class recruiting battalion are piled up haphazardly in boxes.
Boxes of potions are bundled and auctioned.
At this moment, these players deeply realized what it means to be inhuman.
Is the Lonely Elder really strong enough to be this far?
Don't even look down on these things, and take them all out for auction?
"Ten fine iron bed crossbows, the starting price is two thousand gold coins!"
"I'll give you two thousand one hundred!" A player who had already seen it raised his hand and shouted.
"I'll give two thousand three hundred!" The other player was unflinching.
"Three thousand gold coins!" A player dressed in tatters said in a turbulent manner, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they all scolded secretly, so rich but wearing such tattered clothes, are you pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!?
Looking at the players who kept bidding for the auction, Ji Chen nodded with a sigh.
It turns out that there are not very good players on the surface, but in fact, there are still some family backgrounds, and players who know that their wealth is not exposed have understood the essence of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
After watching it for a while, he got bored.
With a wave of his big hand, Luo Yang went to deal with the auction matters by himself, and with a thought in his mind, he took out the vain mask and changed himself to a different appearance from the main body and Zhao Gongzi.
"The Great Age of Genes"
The body is a little shorter, the body is a little fatter, and the appearance is also unremarkable.
Looking at his completely unfamiliar self in the mirror, Ji Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Go downstairs to the street through a private passageway.
This time, not all players came to auction things, some just came to sell something purely because of the flow of people here, and rushed over to set up a stall to sell something.

[This sea lord is a bit strong] 【】
On the street to the side of the auction, there are stalls on both sides of the road, with a mess of things, and some players stop by to ask about items and prices.
This scene is quite marketable.
Ji Chen, who had changed his appearance, silently blended into the flow of people, as if he was really an ordinary player shopping.
"Snow lotus, a rare medicinal herb produced in the Snow Mountain, one flower is three hundred, and three flowers are one thousand!"
"The high-quality fine iron long knife is a good helper for you to kill people and prevent fire in the dark moon."
"Silver scale breastplate, blue quality, hardware!
! ”
"The core of the recruitment battalion of the second-order class mountain forest guard, there are a total of four, each with 250 gold coins, and a one-time package is nine percent off!"
The shouting is endless, but no player is fake, and the shouting is basically in line with the item, after all, the player can use the system to get the information panel of the item, and it is clear whether it is true or false.
Just use it to deceive the aborigines, isn't it just for nothing to deceive other players?
Ji Chen walked around, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on a small remote stall on the corner of the street.
In his senses, there seemed to be something strange there.
