I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 815: Chapter 562: The Northern Territory’s “Marshall Plan” _2

The second and third time purchasing later become relatively easy.

Moreover, the more purchases made in Green Grass City, the faster the civilization develops, and “Civilization Points” continue generating abundantly, which will also give major civilizations more purchasing confidence—a truly perfect positive cycle.

“Therefore, the Spirit Plant Field shouldn’t be sold too expensive.”

“Mr. Cat makes a good point. We might operate here for hundreds of years, enriching the surrounding civilizations, which would be beneficial to us as well,” remarked an official from the logistics department, “the cost of these Extraordinary Items that can activate the field is approximately 3.2-4.5 spirit essence each.”

“But this price excludes the Entropy Element. If you include it, the cost becomes quite high… possibly 50-80 for the cost price.”

Everyone exchanged glances; humans launching the Northern Territory’s “Marshall Plan” to provide economic aid wasn’t too big of a problem.

But a completely loss-making business wouldn’t sit well.

“No need to worry about the Entropy Element for now,” Old Cat said, “these Entropy Elements come from the Eternal Spring.”

“Before leaving Snake-man City, Lu Yuan’s Greedy Demon God absorbed tens of thousands of tons of the Eternal Spring, extracting the Entropy Elements within. We estimate it can be used for at least several hundred years.”

“If it really doesn’t work out, we can return to Different Space and fetch some more spring water. That Different Space hasn’t moved and is still in its original location.”

Of course, Old Cat was just talking nonsense.

When leaving Snake-man City, the Greedy Demon God didn’t obtain new organs, the “Core of Ability,” so it couldn’t extract anything!

The Entropy Elements currently used were all transported via the Immortal Palace… but the humans present didn’t know this, so explaining roughly sufficed.

“I see! This thing’s cost is nearly zero?”

Professor Lu Tiantian rubbed his hands together, “I mean, can you provide some cheaper Entropy Elements for the lab? We’d like to research them too.”

“You should apply to Lu Yuan, it’s his stuff,” Old Cat was long immune to the scientists’ tricks for funding, “In short, calculate the cost as higher, at most 5 spirit essence, right.”

“Yes.”

“Then… let’s sell according to the quality of the field,” Old Cat said solemnly, “Poor quality ones, with smaller coverage, at 10-20 spirit essence each.”

“Better quality, high-level ones, several hundred spirit essence each, how does that sound?”

A diplomat responded, “Mr. Cat, it’s actually a bit cheap.”

“Those Great Clans who have achieved a Civilization Milestone have hundreds or even thousands of points of ‘luck’. They might be able to use Civilization Points to monopolize the field and resell it, becoming second-hand sellers.”

“I heard that the Long-haired Clan plans to use 50 points of luck to monopolize 100 fields directly.”

Old Cat’s whiskers twitched twice; indeed, such scalper activity was troublesome.

Though humans would immediately earn 50 Civilization Points, short sightedness couldn’t achieve great things.

“No, this Spirit Plant Field involves our economic aid. Him monopolizing directly? What is that supposed to mean?”

“Limit one purchase per civilization, how about that? Consider those weaker races too, they’re just starting, are actually the main force in development.”

“But we don’t have enough fields. There are 100 fields but over 300 races here, each having many cities, not yet achieving comprehensive unification among themselves.”

“Can’t worry about too much, first come, first served.”

“What’s the productivity of the craftsmen like? How soon can the production resume?”

“Not so soon; this also involves inspiration… holding in for so many years, and finally created something big.”

…

The trading market was bustling with noise.

Most of the civilization leaders were eagerly waiting for humans to announce the prices.

And ordinary folks were even more chatty, those working here, trading, and some brokers living by conveying messages eagerly discussed the recent events.

“The Dwarf Civilization’s heritage is quite strong, but unexpected that Green Grass City is even better! No, it’s several times better!”

“I must hurry to pass the news to the leader!”

The survival rules of the Northern Territory are that simple.

The strong win everything!

Just within a few short days, stories from the “Green Grass Trading Market” spread to every corner of the Northern Territory.

The publicity effect brought by a gambling duel exceeded hundreds of times the painstaking management over the past three years!

Even in some remote nooks and corners, the news was heard.

“Oh, it’s kind of a shame not to witness the clash between two powerful races firsthand,” said the Long-haired Clan, occupying the northernmost city.

This long-haired race was gathering something called “Ice Crystal Mushrooms” in the Methane lakes.

Their chieftain wearing a Crystal Crown whispered, “The effects of the Spirit Plant Field on mushrooms are not significant, but we still need to take a look.”

“Civilization development is like rowing a boat upstream; not advancing means retreating.”

The Leaping Clan loaded over a hundred vehicles organizing a team of 5000 people, planning to spend half a year traveling to the trading market.

…

In the very south of the Northern Territory, the average temperature is higher, but the thin air and low oxygen levels result in generally smaller life forms.

“Elder! The news is true!” The Fire Tiger Clan, being the southernmost city.

Continuing southwards, both gravity and oxygen will disappear.

However, the harsh land also contains fortunes.

Meteors are abundant here, and the quantity of supernatural minerals exceeds that of common regions.

The emperor of the Fire Tiger Clan waved robust claws, grunted coldly, “Let’s go, we set off.”

“To see if the strength of the first strong clan in the Northern Territory is truly like the rumors say?”

Undoubtedly, competition and warfare are important drives of civilization.

Too weak civilizations easily suffer massacres.

Cities surviving till now generally have a bit of ambition.

Green Grass Trading Market is rapidly becoming the center of the Northern Territory!

…

…

Wulan City, next to Green Grass Market, has truly prospered now.

The influx of outsiders brought great economic benefits.

“One ought to enjoy life to the fullest when circumstances permit…”

Ta Gang heavily put down the beer mug, a slight alcoholic blush on his face.

This great victory was like a dream to him, gave a sense of unreal fantasy.

Even days passed, still indulged in the joy of victory, unable to free himself from it.

The noisy sounds from the tavern, bustling.

Civilization leaders adept at maneuver, brokers who are eloquent, smiling noble families from Great Clans, each coming with expectations, each leaving respectfully. He had never encountered such highly regarded circumstances in his life.

All major and minor clans, each having requests of him.

He, was somewhat drunk.

“The Dwarf Civilization is actually akin to a wealthy second-generation, but encountering Green Grass City, a wealthy first-generation, definitely overwhelmed…”

“Oh, having unworthy descendants, the difference between a wealthy second-generation and a first-generation indeed exists.”

This macro-elephant person dressed in a “Fire Qilin Dress” stuffed an apple into the mouth, “One who can preserve wealth, not declining is already good; while the other is a pioneer.”

“Your analogy is indeed good.”

“Don’t let the dwarves hear, they aren’t too nice tempered, could easily handle you.”

The macro-elephant person laughed heartily, “No, the Dwarf Clan is also our partner.”

After a while, someone raised a new topic: “If what Commander Lu describes about the future is true, then it’d be wonderful!”

“Field Industrialization, the content from the previous chapters isn’t less valuable than the Gear Manual!”

This fellow seems to be a craftsman, incessantly flipping through the humans’ free gifts of books—still couldn’t understand it despite having translated articles.

Another fanged chap countered: “I think you’re all a bit daft! He said he forged Mythical Equipment, is that really real? Unless he brings it out for us to see, only then will I acknowledge it.”

This guy didn’t seem like he came from anywhere; a wandering mercenary with rebel personality, quite normal, regardless of race, there are always some.

The craftsman immediately erupted: “Bah, who the hell are you? Daring to doubt the Master Craftsman?! Does your acknowledgment have any meaning?”

The surrounding people echoed: “Exactly, even if advanced goods are placed before you, can you understand it, dolt!”

The fanged monster picked up his Wolf Fang Club.

“Yo, gonna fight?!”

“Let’s, go to the Duel Arena, I’ll fight with you.” The armored warrior beside the craftsman stood up.

Such inexplicable fights happen almost every day.
