He saw that even a piece of bread could be sold for 50 Spirit Coins, so the price for his whole snake meat would surely be higher.
Thus, he made an outrageous demand, directly pricing it at 1000 Spirit Coins.
This was the [International Trading Hall], and after each transaction, a service fee would be collected.
A whopping 10% service fee.
If it were the [National Trading Hall], only a 5% service fee would be charged.
And if lords traded privately, it would only cost a 1% teleportation fee.
Which could be simply referred to as a delivery fee.
Regardless of where, Spirit Coins were always needed.
Without money, one could only eat dirt.
What Zhou Yan did not expect was that as soon as his black-scaled snake was put up for sale, it was instantly snapped up.
Territory prompt: "[International Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 900 Spirit Coins."
"Holy crap!"
Zhou Yan was dumbfounded.
Were these people really starving mad!
This was just a corpse he casually picked up from the wilderness.
In the outside world, a whole black-scaled snake like this would only sell for tens to a hundred Spirit Coins.
But now, it had increased tenfold and people were still fighting over it.
At this moment, Zhou Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He smelled a business opportunity!
This was practically them rushing to send him money.
However, as the saying goes, keep your business within the family.
Seeing that all lords were so short of food, he directly listed the black-scaled snake in the [National Trading Hall]. He didn't raise the price too much, setting it at 1200 Spirit Coins.
Afterward, Zhou Yan put up another black-scaled snake on the international platform, this time directly pricing it at 5000 Spirit Coins.
It would be a disservice to himself not to rip off these foreigners.
The Canglan Continent's real world was not at war.
However, contradictions always existed between nations.
The solution was very simple.
The armies of two countries would directly fight on the Lord's Continent.
Quite "peaceful," right?
Of course, each participation in battles between territories was confined to a certain range, and it was impossible to exceed a certain bottom line.
This was because the powerful cultivators who had ascended to immortality and divinity on the Canglan Continent did not allow the two countries to suffer too many casualties.
They could fight, they could harm each other, but they could not engage in full-scale war.
Battles were generally controlled within a certain area for a fair confrontation.
The rapid development of the Divine Dragon Country's territories had drawn opposition from foreign powers.
The Divine Dragon Country often engaged in territorial friction with other countries, and they usually won.
He felt proud of the Divine Dragon Country.
Yay (❁´◡`❁)*✲ﾟ*!
Therefore, every country meticulously cultivated lords with high potential.
If his performance in the lord assessment this time was outstanding, he would be favored by the various Lord Academies.
Not only would he receive rewards from the academy.
The rewards from the nation would be even more generous.
The nation was never stingy with lords who developed well.
He could even become a member of the national lord army.
However, Zhou Yan would not consider that aspect.
The fact that he possessed two lord spaces had to be kept strictly secret.
Territory prompt: "[National Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 1140 Spirit Coins."
"What the heck! It was snapped up again!"
When buying and selling these items, anonymity was allowed, so no one knew it was him selling them.
Zhou Yan posted several more black-scaled snakes.
Territory prompt: "[National Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 1140 Spirit Coins."
Territory prompt: "[National Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 1140 Spirit Coins."
Territory prompt: "[National Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 1140 Spirit Coins."
At this moment, he only wanted to recite a poem: Ah, so refreshing!
The End! Congratulations!
To develop a territory and protect it well, one must first summon the [Barracks] for the territory.
The soldiers summoned from the [Barracks] were not necessarily humans.
There were myriad races in the world, and the better the quality of the territory, the more rare soldiers one could summon.
The key was that they all needed to eat.
When encountering soldiers who were powerful and, at the same time, had a large appetite, what would be the consequence if you didn't feed them?
Loyalty would decrease, eventually leading to rebellion.
This was a result that no one could accept.
This also easily explained why, on the very first day, even if black-scaled snakes were worthless in the real world, they could sell for such high prices.
After understanding this, Zhou Yan set the price of the black-scaled snakes at 1500 Spirit Coins.
He put up all the remaining black-scaled snakes at once.
Territory prompt: "[National Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 1425 Spirit Coins."
...
Seeing the prompt of Spirit Coins entering his account, Zhou Yan couldn't help but complain.
Damn capitalism!
Without a doubt, they must have purchased some items to bring in at the beginning to have so many Spirit Coins.
Those were items that only the truly rich could afford.
Territory prompt: "[International Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 4500 Spirit Coins."
"Holy crap!"
Zhou Yan was completely stunned after hearing this news.
Damn it, he was just intentionally annoying foreign lords, who knew that there were actually suckers who bought it.
He was tempted.
He put up the last black-scaled snake, which was meant for himself to eat.
Territory prompt: "[International Trading Hall] sold one black-scaled snake, earning 4500 Spirit Coins."
Zhou Yan: "(づ｡◕ᴗᴗ◕｡)づ"
Poor people should never try to imagine the living standards of the rich.
He opened the chat room.
As expected, it was already buzzing.
"Shocking! Mysterious Lord lists black-scaled snakes, selling at a sky-high price of 1200 Spirit Coins. Is this a decline of morality or a distortion of human nature? We await developments!"
"Shocking! Mysterious Lord is desperate for money, the price of black-scaled snakes has risen to 1500 Spirit Coins. This is absolutely beastly!"
"Damn! The international platform even sold at a high price of 5000 Spirit Coins. This is simply daylight robbery!"
"The key is that there are idiots who buy it."
"The key is that the idiot isn't you, you don't have the money."
"Such a high price and still people are buying, damn it, you rich people! 凸(艹皿艹)"
"My soldiers and I are gnawing on bread, I'd rather die than buy such expensive black-scaled snakes, something that only costs a hundred yuan in the real world! (╬￣皿￣)"
"Young man, you can't afford it, can you? I smell a sour scent from afar. I won't say more, I'm also extremely sour in my heart. (ㄒoㄒ)"
"Seeking the lord who sold the black-scaled snake, little brother, little sister can sing and dance, guaranteed to satisfy you. (≖ᴗ≖)✧"
"The upstairs, maybe the seller is a little sister."
"Maybe they're into both genders. (*￣︶￣)"
"I am from Penguin Group, and I hope to conduct a transaction with the friend who sold the black-scaled snake."
"The chairman of Pinecone Group is my father. Friend who sells snakes, let's be friends."
"I am from Little Bee Group, and I want to have a good chat with the brother who sold snakes."
