Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Di Feiwen half-heartedly poured bitter water on Li Yiu Da. Instead, he asked Li Yiu to listen to the business scriptures of “small traders” within the Real Human Empire.

According to Diffrey, the sale of precious cultivation resources between the great thousand worlds within the Empire is theoretically quite profitable.

But because 99 per cent of the population is “original" and not much better than slaves, it is extremely difficult to generate effective demand, which leads to a long-term slump in the market.

Even though some of the “original" are free citizens of the Empire, they are often personally dependent on the strong and the Hao, so that the cultivation resources they need are sold collectively by the strong and the Hao, most of which are inexpensive and low-quality road goods, making it difficult to make high profits and developing such diverse and colorful upstream and downstream industrial chains and emerging frontier areas as the Federation.

And those 1% of the "real people" naturally have a very strong need for cultivation resources, whether Pharmacopoeia, Crystal Armor, Dan Pharmaceutical or Starship, all willing to pay high prices.

But they often have an intertwined business network and long-standing partners, and many areas are monopolized by historic hawkers such as the "Four Major Election House”, and emerging business groups that have slowly emerged in recent centuries are simply unable to compete with these old nobles or even the "Real Estate House".

“99% of the population at the bottom have no need for training, 1% of the nobility have a need for training, but the entire market has long been monopolized by them. Later, they can't squeeze their brains in, and they can't squeeze it clean without crushing their bones and sucking their medulla. That's good! ”

Diffrey was a little grumpy.

Li Yao heard it and understood it. In the Empire, it is a scattered sand, but there are still two major interest groups.

First of all, when the Real Human Empire was founded, it helped Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi to devise a "dragon lord” for the usurpation of the throne, that is, the royal family, plus the "family of four electorate emperors”, an old nobleman.

In the first hundred or two years of the Empire, they occupied almost the essence of the central Star Sea, monopolizing all lucrative areas and becoming game rulemakers and guardians.

Then, the new world discovered by the Empire as it expanded along the way.

Some of these new worlds are governed by indigenous mighty men subordinate to the Empire, while others, like the Black Wind Fleet, are governed by exiles who fail in the Star Sea central power game.

Even though they are a little weak, they have won by a large enough number to accumulate a certain amount of power for nearly a millennium, and dare to express some dissatisfaction with the rules of the game set by the center of the star sea.

Diffievin's so-called "traders”, meanwhile, were more miserable, mostly losing their nests in the various struggles of the past millennium, failing to conquer the new world and having to wander among the stars of the lost dog.

The so-called Universal Chamber of Commerce is an organization where losers hug each other to warm up and lick each other's wounds - at least 100 years ago, yes.

By virtue of the businessman's acute sense of smell, they have implicitly perceived a series of problems of rigidity and decay in the current system of the Empire.

But to “unravel” them, to overthrow the old system, to build a new world, is neither courageous nor interested, much less powerful.

All they can do is wander around the periphery of the Empire, the less powerful world of emperors and aristocracy, looking for the stronger who can cooperate or even rely on them, hoping for protection, expanding cooperation and slowly building something like… a “free market”.

The Black Wind World was originally a very good partner for the Universal Chamber of Commerce.

Because the black wind world is in the middle of the Fourth World War, there is great interest in cultivating resources and almost no refusal on the part of the visitors.

The Black Wind Originals, under the pressure of the existential crisis, also have more training opportunities than the "Originals” in the interior of the Empire.

After all, even a small “slave soldier" is a good thing to be slightly stronger.

One more thing, Brother Black Wind is famous for his untamed behavior. He started his madness to buy no one's accounts. Neither the Emperor nor the family of the four major election emperors liked these lawless wildlings very much, which gave the World Alliance of Commerce a chance.

The Universal Chamber of Commerce has been working to infiltrate the black wind world for a long time, and it is quite pleasant for both sides to cooperate. Even Di Fei Wen, the owner of the famous large family of "Di Jia” in the black wind world, has become the senior deacon of the Universal Chamber of Commerce.

Unfortunately, the cooperation between the two sides has not been further developed, and the five major worlds, such as the Black Wind, were broken by the Alliance. After a series of changes, Di Fei Wen hibernated in vagueness for nearly a hundred years and came to the star sea.

This is called "Mountain Heavy Water Without a Path, Another Village of Liu Dark Flower Ming”. Di Fei Wen didn't realize that there was such a country as "Starlight Federation” by the star sea!

Di Feiwen's heart had long been filled with sparkling imperial crystal coins, and he didn't care whether it was true or immortal, but the current business system of the Federation, effective stimulation of human “cultivation demand," and stimulation, formed after the whole “cultivation market and upstream and downstream industrial chain” scale, made him heartbeat, excited to be unable to himself.

Just seven or eight barren worlds on the edge of the star sea can have such a market. What would be the concept if this model could be replicated in the center of the star sea?

This is the most important reason why Devereaux is willing to restrain the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet, the Battlefield Uprising.

After the Battlefield Intifada, he spent another three years watching and studying the Federation's "Refinery" operating model in silence, studying a seventy-seven hundred and eighty-eight, until he had a bottom of his mind, which did not rush out the "World Business Alliance” and the inventory.

“I didn't expect such an organization to exist within the Empire! ”

Li Yao was also quite pleased, "So there is some possibility of cooperation between the Universal Chamber of Commerce and Xingyao Federation? ”

“Yes, but the risks are also high. ”

Diffrey Wen still seems to be introducing honestly and faithfully, yes, as the senior deacon of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, he has several confidential sources of intelligence and is able to speak in all respects, and he knows dozens of permeable weaknesses in the world around the Empire.

But the “World Chamber of Commerce" is also, after all, a loose business organization. It is not a well-organized and lofty “revolutionary party” or anything like that. A businessman, having milk is a mother, turning his face and recognizing no one, mouth and belly sword, two sides and three knives, that is a compulsory course.

Today, the number two figure in the black wind can be absorbed as Senior Deacon; tomorrow, for the sake of profit, it is unknown to all to rely on the family of the four emperors.

Yes, the federales took his secret message and got a lot of information - but how much money is this information, and if the federales are going to turn around and betray it, the ghosts will know!

“Even parents and fathers can buy one for one as long as the price is right. ”

Diffrey says, "How many copper plates is a senior deacon who's been silent for a hundred years? ”

So, in the Sky Eye program, a few secret WBC strongholds provided by Diffywin, as well as contact details for some of the famous dealers, are all kept in reserve first.

Less than necessary, the federals themselves gather intelligence first, which is more reliable and secure.

“If you want to gather your own information, I suggest you set your first jump point near the Scorpion Constellation. ”

Diffrey threw another ambiguous but significant piece of news.

The so-called "Scorpion Cluster”, located on the periphery of the Empire, far from the Alliance and relatively close to one side of the Federation, encompasses roughly seven or eight thousand worlds, named after a sparkling scorpion-like nebula in the centre.

The reason why you chose to set the "first jump point” here is because there is a good chance… the fixer!

Seeing Li Yao Gao provoke his eyebrows, looking extremely interested, Di Fei Wen hastily said: “This is just a mythical legend, and his subordinates have heard it just over a hundred years ago. There is said to be a group of fixers called 'Star Light' deep within the Scorpion Constellation, as well as an ancient fixer who has persisted against the Empire since the end of the Star Sea Republic, making it profoundly unpredictable and so on. ”

“From the end of the Republic of the Stars and Sea, to this day? ”

Li Yao couldn't help but be stunned. If that were the case, the youngest of the “ancient cultivators” would be over a thousand years old. Wouldn't he live longer than the famous federally famous old birthday star "Though Life”?

Though life depends on constant hibernation to survive nearly a millennium, how can it survive a millennium in the midst of a fierce all-day war if the Resistance of the Realists in the depths of the Empire is sure to face the cruel siege of the Empire and almost impossible to hibernate for long periods?

“The so-called 'ancient practitioners of the time of the Starling Sea Republic', mostly the human cloud and the cloud, were blackmailed. ”

Golden Moon said, "It is also a very normal psychological state for ordinary people who have been brutally oppressed within the Empire to place their hopes on a ‘Savior', but what about the Resistance of the Modifier called 'Starlight’, perhaps, has happened, at least once?

“It would be of great significance to us if such a resistance were to exist, even if only one or two resistant 'imperial practitioners’ were to be found. ”

Li Yao focused, but then the fox questioned: “Is it possible that a maverick resistance group stumbled deep into the empire for thousands of years without being wiped out? ”

“It's unlikely, but it's a very interesting rumor, and it's worth taking some time to figure it out, and if it's true, we'll make a fortune. ”

"The astronomical environment of the Scorpion Constellation is very complex, full of star storms and desolate worlds, and indeed a great place for hiding and guerrillas," Golden Moon said.

“There is also a coincidence - there is a thousand worlds in the Scorpion Constellation once called 'Wu Ying Realm’, Master should know that there is the home of Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi! ”
