Chapter 52: Territory Trade
Hang Yu opened the interface of the Trading Hall through the Lord Panel.
【Ding, your Territory Trade function has been activated!】
【Your Lord number is 2462!】
The Lord number would be the code used later in the Trading Hall.
Although all Lords in the Trading Hall belonged to the sa race and were unlikely to be in the sa plane, aning there was no direct competition or fear of aiding the enemy during trade, normally no Lord would expose their true information.
The Trading Hall, like other buildings, was divided into tiers.
A Tier-One Trading Hall could only trade Tier-One materials, equipnt, or other items of green quality or below.
If one wanted to buy or sell items above Tier-One or of green quality, then the Trading Hall needed to be upgraded!
Hang Yu discovered that the Lord number range was from 1 to 10,000, each code representing a Lord of the Stars, but the identity, strength, and location of the others remained unknown, with only the race being known.
Humans were generally weak in strength.
But they were certainly nurous!
The strength and seniority of Lords had no connection with the size of their number, because being a Lord was an extrely high-risk profession; less than one-tenth of human Lords could survive more than three years in the Abyss, and the sa number might have been used by hundreds of Lords.
Hang Yu being assigned 2462.
Most likely ant the previous 2462 had already perished.
The Trading Hall interface was divided into two parts: the "Trading List Area" and the "Public Communication Area."
The forr was composed of hundreds of trade listings, including purchase listings and sale listings, through which Lords conducted their item trades.
Posting a listing ca with a fee.
The minimum fee was 10 magic crystals per hour.
The longer the listing ti, the higher the fee.
This chanism helped to prevent a flood of invalid listings, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of territory trading.
To increase transaction efficiency and save ti, Lords sotis posted relevant ssages in the Public Communication Area before listing, but each Lord could only post three public ssages per day for free.
Hang Yu opened the Communication Area.
He saw the ssages scrolling rapidly.
It was much livelier and more active than expected.

Lord 8422: "Buying food! Large quantity of food needed!"
Lord 2321: "Selling a batch of high-quality Cold Iron Ore, anyone interested? Private chat!"
Lord 4328: "Help, I just went through the Day of Ultimate Darkness, my army is almost wiped out, territory heavily damaged, financial chain completely broken, is there any senior who can help through this tough ti? There will be a great reward after I recover..."
Lord 1501: "I just opened the fifth map and unfortunately ran into a Lord of the One-Eyed Giant race at the fourth map. Although my territory is one map larger, the One-Eyed Giant is too hard to deal with. Urgently in need of skills to deal with Giants, hope you all can support!"
Lord 3244: "I expect to open the ninth map within three months, everyone hurry up and bless !"
Lord 1052: "A nine-map boss spotted!"
Lord 2123: "Wow! Amazing, amazing! Worshipping the nine-map boss! Boss, do you need a little brother?"
Lord 8957: "I've been struggling for twelve years, and my territory still only has four maps. I live in fear every day!"
Lord 6687: "Long-term high-price purchase of skill stones, construction blueprints, Tier-One white-quality weapons! DM if you have any!"
……
This was kind of interesting!
Seed more fun than imagined!
It was the first ti seeing communication between Lords.
It turned out the Communication Area in the Trading Hall wasn't all about transactions.
Many Lords in trouble used it as a help-seeking or SOS platform, while others shared information, or even showed off deliberately to make their presence felt.
It wasn't hard to notice.
Many Lords were not short of magic crystals at the beginning.
Instead, it was food and materials that were extrely tight.
Because most Lords secured investnts before entering their territories in the Land of the Stars.
During his ti at the Academy, Hang Yu had received attention from more than a dozen families or forces.
Normally, securing an investnt of twenty thousand magic crystals as start-up capital would not have been difficult, but since his territory was deep in the Eternal Night Layer, and investnt was not charity, it all fell through.
Fortunately, there was help and loans from the Dragon Principal!
Looking at it now, it was definitely not a bad thing; if he had accepted investnt at that ti, he would inevitably have been under control, even giving up a large part of the profits generated during the developnt of the territory, which would have been a loss for Hang Yu!
Although many Lords secured a lot of magic crystals initially, they could not bring materials from the Land of the Stars.
In the early stage of territory developnt, to avoid losses, one had to be extrely cautious; it was common to make barely a few kiloters of progress in ten or fifteen days. In this situation, materials were bound to be extrely tight!
Material shortage.
Wasn't a big issue in the short term.
But food was a hidden daily consumption.
If the territory lacked food for a long ti, soldiers and citizens would starve to death, especially for Lords with large populations, feeding so many subordinates was a huge headache.
Therefore, it was easy to see.
Many Lords were buying food.
It might also be related to the influx of new Lords due to the graduation season.
Because the demand for food far exceeded that for other materials, the current prices were soaring high.
Hang Yu, relying on the Fourth Calamity Army, aggressively expanded his territory.
Not fearing losses, and combined with a tenfold drop rate, his current food stockpile had already exceeded 3,000 portions... too much to eat! Simply impossible to finish!
One must know.
Both materials and food had a shelf life!
If these extraordinary materials were stored too long, they would first gradually lose their extraordinary properties and decline in quality, and eventually spoil or rot, so it was very necessary to dispose of the excess in ti.
With Xiao Ba's help.
Hang Yu quickly gathered enough data from the Trading and Communication Areas to roughly understand the price levels of this zone, and then took out 2,000 portions for listing.
Priced at an average of 1 magic crystal per 5 portions of food!
Due to it being his first transaction, Hang Yu set a moderate and cautious price.
Though not cheap, it wasn't too expensive either.
Barring accidents, it should sell within one or two hours, bringing around 400 magic crystals in inco to the territory!
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"From now on, there is another very important source of inco!"
"The opening of territory trade can significantly reduce the financial pressure!"
Hang Yu deeply understood the importance of building the Trading Hall.
It could not only greatly ease the territory’s budget deficit but also allow the purchase of crucial resources not produced nearby, such as various seeds, herbs, and so on.
He decided to check back later.
Then he closed the Trading Hall.
And opened the Starsea Ga Forum.
Hang Yu wanted to check the aftermath of the Hexi Village Defense Battle.
This battle was the Fourth Calamity Army's first real campaign, an incredible and pride-worthy victory.
It was impossible that the Alpha Test players hadn't gone crazy praising it on the forum afterward, which would surely trigger a new wave of discussion and impact.
Hang Yu was very interested.
When he opened the ga forum.
At a glance, he spotted at least four or five posts related to it.
Among them, Black-Eyed Rui Ge’s post had just been updated half an hour ago.
In just twenty minutes, it had shot up to the top trending posts of the forum, which showed the current influence and discussion level of Twisted Three Kingdoms in the gaming circle.
Hang Yu clicked the post and glanced at the update content.
———
"Hello everyone!"
"Rui Ge is here!"
"I just finished eating, sitting on the toilet now, finally have ti to make a little sharing."
"Actually, my private ssages have already exploded long ago, but unfortunately, recently, for the sake of playing gas, I really don't have ti to reply to everyone individually. I can only report the latest situation through a public post."
"To be honest, because Twisted Three Kingdoms has such a high level of realism, I almost can't tell the difference between reality and the ga. In the process, I feel no sense of playing a ga at all; this bizarre, mystery-filled world is even more attractive than the real world!"
"I can say without exaggeration, if it weren't for this slly body needing water, food, and toilet breaks, I could absolutely stay in the ga for ten days or half a month without logging off."
"Alright."
"No more nonsense."
"Let's talk about the latest ga progress!"
"Maybe you already heard."
"We just achieved an exciting victory in the ga!"
"This was not only a great victory for the Fourth Calamity Army but also gave us a deeper understanding of the ga!"
