Unscrupulous profiteer

Is there a place to get what I want?what is that placeZheng Jing looked at Ming curiously. Originally, he was already planning to ask Lana to help him contact a technology businessman outside the Milky Way, and would rather spend more energy transmission, but Ming's words rekindled his hope.

A blue card appeared in Ming's hand, and while operating his own terminal, he said to Zheng Jing: "Wait a minute, I will share the teleportation coordinates with you. The place I am going to this time is a special plane space. Consume 200 teleportation energy, are you sure you want to go?"

200 energy points!This figure really shocked Zheng Jing, and he was a little hesitant about such a large consumption. Is it worth paying such a high cost just to buy an engine for old man Gao?

However, when his gaze inadvertently glanced over the blue card in Ming's hand that was slightly transparent under the sunlight, he was suddenly stunned. Why does this thing look so familiar?

"The coordinates have been sent to your terminal, can we go?"

"Ah? Okay." Zheng Jing didn't have time to think about it, and opened the terminal to find the teleportation coordinates that Ming had sent him, and started the teleportation program with Ming.

The two white lights flashed away, and the figures of the two disappeared on the beach, and then Zheng Jing's eyes turned into darkness.

After a period of dizziness, Zheng Jing regained consciousness and was still in a dark space. Zheng Jing was experienced in such a teleportation process. He opened the terminal calmly, but found a situation that was beyond his expectations.

There is no shortage of transmission energy!

Teleporting to any place requires energy consumption, which is unavoidable. Generally speaking, energy will be deducted from the beginning when the teleportation program is started.But this time Zheng Jing remembered clearly.How much teleportation power he has before teleportation starts.It's still the same number, it hasn't changed at all.

A ray of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which meant that the transmission process had come to an end. Zheng Jing tried to open his eyes, but found that with the opening of his eyelids, all that entered his line of sight was light. He seemed to be surrounded by light. The same, when the eyes finally adapt to the light and can distinguish the scene in front of them.Zheng Jing suddenly stood there as if he had been petrified.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a huge dark blue light ball. If Zheng Jing's astronomy knowledge in school was not in vain, it should be a star!

Looking at the endless darkness all around and the little stars, there is no doubt that he is in the universe now, but he finds that he can still breathe normally, and he doesn't feel the cold in space.

Zheng Jing pinched himself to make sure it wasn't a dream, but what was going on?

"Welcome Zheng Jing, a businessman from the earth plane, to the plane trading market. For transactions related to magic items, please go to District A. For transactions related to technological items, please go to District B. For transactions related to resources and minerals, please go to District C. For food and drug transactions..."

A cold electronic synthesizer voice appeared behind him, Zheng Jing immediately turned around, and what he saw was something even more unbelievable.

A city, yes, a bustling city built in space!A city full of high-rise buildings and pedestrians on the streets. The only abnormal thing is that there are no floors on the streets here, and there is an endless dark starry sky under your feet. However, when Zheng Jing subconsciously drives his body according to the habit of walking on the earth's ground When trying to move forward, he walked forward very normally, and the buildings in the distance were all standing out of thin air, as if there was a transparent floor underneath to support them, and there was also gravity.

"This is a plane world, and many basic laws are different from the universe we usually live in, so no matter what you see, don't be surprised." Ming walked by Zheng Jing and explained to him in a flat tone.

Zheng Jingjing nodded. In fact, except that the surrounding environment is a bit unbelievable, the rest is actually not much different from him on Earth, at least it will not affect his normal activities.

The two began to walk towards the city ahead. On the way, Zheng Jing asked Ming: "Then, explain to me, what is this place? The plane trading market? It sounds very powerful."

"The trading market, as the name suggests, is a place where plane merchants gather to trade. In fact, many plane merchants have encountered the same distress, that is, they cannot find the goods they want. So someone came up with the idea of ​​creating a place where A place where merchants from various planes gather to conduct transactions."

Looking at the city in front of him that was at least half the size of the capital city, Zheng Jing couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "Such a big handwriting, how powerful a plane businessman can build it?"

"Actually, this market was built by three powerful plane merchants. One plane merchant contributed his own plane world as a venue, one plane merchant carried out construction work, and one plane merchant provided contacts to attract Popularity, they are all plane businessmen with very old qualifications and very strong comprehensive strength, they are called the Big Three by the people here, and they must not be provoked."

Listening to Ming's introduction, Zheng Jing felt like a poor boy who came to a big city. At first, he thought that he could make a living in the Milky Way, but now he remembered that he was just a A c-level plane businessman, according to the level, he is only a middle-level one. There are too many characters who are more powerful than him. That's really not wrong at all.

As soon as they entered the city, Zheng Jing and Ming followed the reminder of the electronic voice outside the city to the technological goods trading market in District B. In the city, there are intelligent unmanned vehicles from the high-tech world for the businessmen who come here to use. , There are also many signposts on the street, so that people who have just come here can clearly see where they are going and what to take.

In addition to relying on the somewhat crappy text translation function of the terminal, there are also many kinds of characters from different planets printed on the signs here. Zheng Jing was also surprised to find the existence of traditional Chinese on them.

I can't wait to get to know this amazing place better.

Instead of taking transportation, the two chose to walk to their destination, all the way.Zheng Jing looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.There are also hawkers who set up stalls on the street.He couldn't help but asked Ming: "These people are really all plane merchants."

"Yes." Ming's answer was very simple.

But this simple answer made Zheng Jing have new doubts: "But this is the same plane world as when we participated in the plane mission? There should be people living here. If we look The people who arrived are all plane merchants, so where are the aborigines here?"

Ming didn't speak for a long time, and when the two of them passed another corner of the street, she said: "Does it mean anything to you to figure out this matter?"

"No." Zheng Jing shrugged, and did not ask any more questions.

After wandering around casually, these plane merchants who set up street stalls on the roadside are not of high level, and the quality of the goods they sell is also very average.But Zheng Jing found something worth noting in it.

"Isn't there a way of bartering here?" Zheng Jing saw a person talking to a plane merchant who was selling goods next to the stall, and then took out a card and swiped it out of thin air, then took it away They bought the goods on the street stalls, and did not give any items to the plane merchants who sold them in exchange.

"For the convenience of transactions here, most of the tokens issued by the three giants are used as trading chips. The tokens can be obtained by selling goods, and can also be exchanged at any exchange point and transmission energy in the market. In addition, you want to use the goods here It doesn't matter if you trade in exchange."

"Take me to the place where the tokens are exchanged." Zheng Jing was very interested in this novel transaction method. Think about it, when you traded with other merchants before, you had to check whether your goods were liked by the other party. Both fancy each other's goods in order to successfully trade.In this market, he can buy anything with a unified currency.Selling things outside only needs to earn currency, and then use the currency to buy what he wants. This transaction method is much more convenient.

There is a token exchange outlet on the street where Zheng Jing is now. To his surprise, the person in charge of the reception here is also a plane merchant.

"Hello, code number 213 is at your service. May I help you?" The handsome man said to the two people who walked in with a smile on his face.

213...Okay, Zheng Jing promised that he didn't smile, at least not on the surface. He watched Ming earnestly take out her blue card and walked forward. A number has been entered.

"You will be charged 200 energy points, and the tax rate for bronze-level members is 0.1. After deducting 10 point as tax for every 1 energy points, you will be given 180 plane coins. Will it be credited into your account?"

"Yes." Ming confirmed it, and saw her cyan card glow slightly, and then she put the card away. The whole process was easier than depositing money in a bank.

Then Ming told Zheng Jing that 180 face coins is not a small number, and you can buy a lot of things here, but Zheng Jing asked suspiciously: "What is the tax here?"

Ming was also very helpless when it came to this question, and said: "As the maintenance cost of this place, as long as you use the transmission energy to exchange plane coins here, a part of the energy will be deducted as tax. It is also necessary to deduct a tax when it is exchanged for transmission energy, this is the rule here, and you must abide by it if you want to trade here."

Zheng Jing expressed his understanding. It is obvious that the Big Three who created this market cannot be Lei Feng Bethune. How could they do things that have no benefit?If everyone is forced to pay the tax twice to exchange tokens back and forth, then the managers of this market will really make money.

He walked to the counter with a calm expression. The 213 brother smiled when he saw Zheng Jing coming, but he said to Zheng Jing: "This gentleman is here for the first time? If you want to exchange tokens, you need to open an account first." , get a membership card."

"Identity card? Do you think it is this?" Zheng Jing smiled, turned his hand, and a golden transparent card appeared in his hand, which was left to him by Xiaoyaozi, but he never knew it was for What is that card for.

"Gold member!" Seeing the golden card, Ming reacted quickly and immediately exclaimed, looking at Zheng Jing with surprised eyes, isn't this guy coming to this market for the first time?How could there be a gold-level identity card?

Don't think that a gold member is just two levels higher than her bronze member. You must know that in this market, the highest level membership card that most people have is the silver level, enjoying the most superior treatment, and being above silver symbolizes The golden identity card of supreme status is rarely given to others. There are only two kinds of people who own it. One is the three big local tyrants who created the market, and the other is the friends of the three big local tyrants.

That 213 brother doesn't care about Zheng Jing's identity. Although Zheng Jing is a new face to him, it's normal. How can a boss like this level be known casually by a small employee? of?At this time, his attitude towards Zheng Jing has completely changed. Just now, he was still smiling at the customers, but now he is showing respect to the big boss.

"My ex really left me a lot of good things." Zheng Jing muttered to himself, and then asked Brother 213 in front of him, "How much tax do I need to pay with this card?"

"Hehe, my lord was joking, how could we possibly collect taxes from you? But why didn't you make an appointment in advance before you came, my lord? I am not qualified to entertain you, my lord. Do you need me to notify the three giants in charge? "

"No need, I just came here to buy something casually." Zheng Jing rejected the proposal. Although he was also very curious about the so-called Big Three, he was self-aware. It may be difficult for him to play well when he comes into contact with important people.

After exchanging tokens, Zheng Jing was ready to go out. When he came to Ming's side, he leaned into Ming's ear and whispered, "Tell me, what privileges does this gold member have?"

"You hold this card but don't even know what it is for?" Ming slightly glanced at Zheng Jing, who shook his head decisively.

Ming did not talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Sorry, I have never touched a gold-level identity card, so I don't know what the detailed privileges of gold members are, but I know a rough idea based on some hearsay. No need to pay taxes is the first. One point, and secondly, there are discounts for renting shops in the market. In addition, there is another point that is not sure of its authenticity. It is said that the gold-level identity card is made of the magic core of the Phoenix beast, and it contains some energy itself. It is automatically offset when teleporting between planes, which allows the holder to consume less teleportation energy every time they teleport to this plane, and this number is about 100 points."

It turns out that this card itself has such a function, Zheng Jing fell into thinking, this can explain why he didn't consume teleportation energy when teleporting here, but it's not right, if teleporting here needs to consume 200 points of energy, this card If it can offset 100 points, then he should pay 100 energy points, but he did not spend any energy.

Zheng Jing thought of a possibility, but he didn't want Ming to know about this guess, so he calmly sent a command to the terminal in his mind: "Can you check the information of this plane?"

"Finding relevant information, please wait..."

"Information inquiry is complete. The chaotic plane of laws was developed in 195362 plane missions. The owner of the development rights of the plane is Xiaoyaozi, a businessman from the earth plane. The current ownership of this plane is legally inherited by Zheng Jing, a new generation of businessman from the earth plane. .”

"Damn! Don't you bring such a coincidence?" Zheng Jing was enveloped in a bad premonition, and he swears directly, and rushed out from the door, and then he saw that the street outside was full of people A soldier in uniform, and Xuan Qing standing in front of him.

Zheng Jing subconsciously took two steps back, but a light blade rested on his neck. (To be continued..)
