The business of the world.
In essence, it’s just two words: supply and demand.
The twenty-one indigenous towns, how many people in total?
Between ten to twenty at the low end, forty to fifty at the high end, and this is after integrating the surrender of Sand Spring City, causing so increase.
If we take the average of thirty, the total number of intelligent species in the four towns is only about six hundred, the number is indeed too small.
How many pieces of equipnt can each person wear?
It’s easy to calculate the demand for equipnt in the twenty-odd small towns.
Each small town has at least ten or twenty hunting areas, if more than a thousand soldiers are dispatched every day, with the town leaders leading the teams to clear elite monsters, an average of over a hundred pieces of white equipnt can be collected effortlessly.
But what use does it have?
The population is just so little.
Even if you wanted to sell, there’s no one to buy.
Most of it can only be decomposed with the decomposition stele.
This decomposition of equipnt costs crystal stones, after decomposition you get a few pieces of white material and a rare few crystal stones, these materials are generally used to make soldiers or upgrade and enhance soldiers.
It’s truly a waste.
This is what happens when supply exceeds demand.
The Lord’s territories are ultimately limited.
The materials, equipnt, and skill stones that co out of the hunting areas are actually fixed.
Even precious skill stones, once they repeatedly appear and accumulate in number, won’t remain so precious.
This too is supply exceeding demand.
Conversely.
So materials, equipnt, skill stones, magic potions, and secret dicines cannot be produced by the Desert Province, or even the whole Earth Dragon Realm.
This ans.
So inheritances are things the indigenous should never hope to complete.
At this ti if soone places a skill stone that they couldn’t possibly obtain in front of them at any cost, and offers an exorbitant price, what will happen?
They’ll grit their teeth and buy it!
This is when demand exceeds supply.
On the other hand, just in Hua Country alone, there are thirty-six central cities, each city having a population of tens of millions, and over a billion throughout the entire country.
What a huge potential market this is!
Not every human can join the territory.
And even fewer can own troops to fight monsters.
Zhao Ming and others have calculated carefully, even though the current purchase price is low, for the minor lords, it can create double the profit, enough to drive them to take action!
White equipnt is still the most popular refined equipnt in the human market, white equipnt over level 10 can be considered high-end goods, and it’s not unusual for weapons with good attributes to sell for several hundred white crystals!
This too is when demand exceeds supply.
Sitting on Sand Spring City provides a huge advantage!
Because as the integration rate of the Spirit Realm and the real world gets higher, the Spirit Realm tax required to bring low-tier equipnt to reality is getting lower, providing an opportunity for astounding profits.
Small lords will willingly offer equipnt, resources, and materials.
Contributing to the prosperity of the human race.
They will even be grateful to the humans!
"That’s all of it!"
Five hundred pieces of unused white equipnt over level 10.
More than five thousand unused pieces of white quality materials of level 10.
Twenty unused low-tier white skill stones, along with other various materials, all placed upon the altar.
The array effect was activated.
In the next second.
A large pile of materials vanished without a trace.
They’ve been transmitted to Sand Spring City.
These were not all of Qingxi Town’s resources.
Fox Three could not possibly throw all his belongings up there, just trying out a part of it first.
Jiang Nan stood aside and said, "Sand Spring City has staff specifically for counting, once everything is verified and confird, the crystal stones will be sent over. Don’t worry, not a single gray crystal will be missing!"
Fox Three showed a look of excitent.
If in the future these materials can be directly exchanged for crystal stones.
How much effort would that save, and the economic value created would be so much better than decomposing them or leaving them in the warehouse!
"The special envoy just said that if you need to purchase so items, you can also apply to Sand Spring City, is that true?" Fox Three hurriedly asked, thinking of sothing: "I want two pieces of green third-tier skill stones, it’s the Ghost Master’s inheritance, the Ghost Pearl Sealing Skill and the Spirit Explosion Technique, is there a way?"
Jiang Nan said, "No problem, I’ll help you apply to Sand Spring City, we’ll find those skill stones for you in the shortest ti, but the price may be very high, so be ntally prepared."
What does it matter if the price is high?
Fox Three has already activated one third-tier spiritual profession inheritance.
This Ghost Master’s main skill, which is difficult to obtain, has already been acquired!
If he can get the two auxiliary skills, he can activate the second third-tier inheritance, which would greatly enhance his power, but in this place, the Desert Province, those two kinds of skill stones have never been seen!
About an hour or so later.
The transmission altar in Qingxi Town vibrated.
A big pile of crystal stones appeared on the altar!
Fox Three imdiately showed a look of great joy, he quickly counted the crystal stones, selling the five hundred white equipnt pieces netted about five thousand white crystals, the more than five thousand white materials sold for four thousand white crystals, plus the miscellaneous items including skill stones.
About 10,000 white crystals earned!
Sand Spring City really acquired the resources from Qingxi Town!
Just a couple more deals like this, and the whole month’s army expenses for Qingxi Town would be covered, for Fox Three, he would wake from his dreams laughing.
However.
Sothing even more surprising happened to him.
Only about two days later, Jiang Nan found him, "The two Skill Stones you wanted, we’ve successfully located them. Each costs a thousand Green Crystals, how about it? Is that acceptable?"
"What? A thousand Green Crystals!"
Fox Three nearly popped his eyes out.
Even though it’s a Third Tier skill, it’s only Green Quality!
A thousand Green Crystals can almost convert to a hundred Blue Crystals, which is absolutely a sky-high price, probably enough to buy a Third Tier Blue Skill Stone!
Jiang Nan said, "Expensive as it is, it’s definitely worth the value. These two Skill Stones cannot be found anywhere else in the Earth Dragon Realm. If you miss this chance, you might never get another one."
Fox Three gritted his teeth, "I’ll buy them!"
Paynt was made, and the transfer occurred.
Soon after, the Skill Stones were in hand.
This expenditure caused intense heartache for Fox Three.
However, the mont he saw the Skill Stones, all his frustration vanished.
What is money?
It can be earned again if it’s gone!
But opportunities are rare and elusive!
After several transactions, Fox Three fully recognized the credibility of Sand Spring City and deeply admired the capabilities of the human race.
He began to realize that as long as he had money and Sand Spring City.
He could buy most of the things he needed.
Even including Blue Skill Stones.
Even including Fourth Tier skills!
With money, one can beco stronger.
With money, one can do whatever they want!
But how to have money?
Of course, by frantically clearing hunting zones and collecting resources, selling all the equipnt, materials, and supplies to Sand Spring City.
At this mont.
The stone temple in Qingxi Town.
A large wooden fra had been erected.
The fra hung over a hundred wooden plaques with item nas and their corresponding prices.
Sand Spring City would have a squad stationed permanently in Qingxi Town, taking turns guarding the stone temple. They supervised and docunted transactions and updated the price boards every few hours based on market conditions.
"Cold Iron’s price increased!"
"Fire Copper’s price dropped!"
"Quickly send the Collection Soldiers from the Copper Ore to the Iron Mine!"
"White Equipnt prices have been rising for several days!"
"Fox Nine, take five hundred Combat Soldiers to the Black Scorpion Cave to farm weapons!"
"..."
Including Lord Fox Three, dozens of intelligent species in Qingxi Town took turns monitoring Sand Spring City’s trade center for quotes on various supplies, seeking ways to maximize profits.
That night.
Over twenty mbers of the Fox race in Qingxi Town gathered for a eting.
A subordinate from the Fox race said, "Lord, I believe Qingxi Town no longer needs so many Combat Soldiers. Perhaps we should dismiss so and recruit more Collection Soldiers to gather material ores and start planting Spirit Plants."
"Yes, Qingxi Town is under the protection of the Great Lord, and we have a contract with the Great Lord. If sothing happens, Sand Spring City will stand up for us!"
"Our territory has multiple mines and resource fields, as well as large areas of unused Spirit Fields. I suggest adding five hundred Production Soldiers to fully develop the mines and Spirit Fields, as Sand Spring City buys all the resources!"
"..."
Everyone expressed their opinions at once.
Fox Three also felt the number of Production Soldiers in the town was too few.
Vast quality Spirit Fields and nurous mines were insufficiently developed.
As for Combat Soldiers, if there was no war, rely hunting wouldn’t require having three thousand plus. From a profit maximization perspective, indeed, the proportions should be adjusted.
Fox Three pondered slightly, "No rush, the trade market in Sand Spring City has just been established; we still need so ti to observe."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Recently, they have already tasted success.
The resources not usable by the town are all sent to Sand Spring City.
Sand Spring City has an enormous appetite, consuming whatever is provided, and paynt is always tily, never exceeding half a day to be credited.
Simultaneously.
Sand Spring City also offers all sorts of things.
These are materials, equipnt, Skill Stones, even Secret dicine that everyone needs but are nearly impossible to find in the Desert Province!
The price is high.
But it’s worth it!
They hope the trade market keeps open forever!
And if this trend continues, everyone will benefit from it!
Fox Three pondered for a while and said, "This is a great opportunity for Qingxi Town to beco wealthy; we must find a way to procure more supplies!"
The Vice Lord asked, "We’ve been doing our best these past few days!"
Fox Three shook his head and said, "Don’t just focus inside the territory; beyond our territory, there are large areas of unowned Spirit Fields. Furthermore, there are many nomadic wanderers in the northern area of the province. We can contact these nomads and acquire resources from them at lower prices, and then quickly resell them to Sand Spring City."
Profiting from the price difference?
Everyone’s eyes brightened.
There could be many similar strategies.
In conclusion, leaning on Sand Spring City now, with the backing of the human overlord, as long as we use our brains, we can always find various paths to wealth.
