He first inquired with Xiao Wei about the affairs of the trading markets in various worlds. Xiao Wei replied that everything was proceeding normally, and they had begun renting shops and hiring people for transactions in many worlds.
The items they sold were precisely what those worlds needed most, so their popularity was as expected.
The spiritual currency within the territory was growing at an astonishing rate every second, so the matter of the trading market did not require his immediate attention.
Zhou Yan had already instructed Li Shuang to arrange for people to enter the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall] as soon as possible, have Xiao Wei provide basic training, and then replace Diao Chan and the others.
It was too much of a waste of talent to have heroes like Diao Chan engaging in buying and selling.
The trading markets in the various worlds were operating stably. He asked Xiao Wei to search for the prices of various attribute crystals and record them. After that, he had Xiao Wei search for buildings being sold in different worlds.
He was primarily looking for defensive tower structures.
The Myriad Worlds were not all comprised of lord-like worlds, though there were quite a few. He casually browsed and discovered that the [Cang Lan Continent · Trading Market] had quite a few people selling defensive tower buildings.
Moreover, the prices were similar to those in other worlds.
As a part of Cang Lan Continent, it was rather embarrassing that he hadn't visited it yet.
He instructed Xiao Wei to note down these locations and then asked Xiao Wei to contact one of the maids, asking her to return to the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall] so that there would be a slot for teleportation.
Once one of the maids had teleported back, Zhou Yan had Xiao Wei open the teleportation channel and sent him to the [Stone Realm · Trading Market].
As soon as he walked outside the trading market, he was recognized by the Stone race people. A large group of old men crowded him tightly.
"Everyone, don't rush, don't rush. One by one, I have plenty of time. (๑*◡*๑)"
He had plenty of 'ammunition' today and was sure he could satisfy these Stone race people. (*￣︶￣)
"I want one, I want one!!!"
"I'll go first, I'll go first."
"Don't rush, don't rush. We have enough equipment today. Everyone line up properly, no cutting in line, no pushing!"
Zhou Yan hadn't expected the Stone race to be so enthusiastic yesterday. Today, there were at least a thousand Stone race people queuing, and as more curious Stone race people learned about the situation, the number was rapidly increasing.
The queue quickly formed a long dragon.
He felt that he should open a shop here, which would be more convenient.
He immediately contacted Xiao Wei: "Xiao Wei, see if anyone else is available and arrange for them to come to the [Stone Realm · Trading Market] to help sell equipment."
Xiao Wei quickly replied, "Understood, Lord. I will start inquiring immediately."
Although he could contact and inquire himself, the matters of the trading market were all handled by Xiao Wei, so he could leave it all to it.
He began to trade with these Stone race people.
Not long after, a person approached him and said, "Lord, what do you need me to do?"
"Find a shop and put the equipment on display. Trading one by one like this will take days to finish."
With the increasing number of people queuing to buy equipment, this kind of transaction would last for several days, and he didn't have time to waste here.
"Understood." The maid quickly walked towards the trading market.
Zhou Yan also said loudly to the Stone race people, "My maid has gone to open a shop. You will be able to buy equipment in the shop then..."
"That's great! We won't have to queue up here to buy equipment anymore."
"This should have been done long ago."
"He really has a lot of equipment."
"Open it quickly, I've been waiting for a long time."
The maid opened the shop quickly. After more than ten minutes, she sent him a message and gave him the location.
He immediately walked towards his shop, followed by a group of Stone race people buying equipment.
This made the Stone race people on the roadside look bewildered. If someone didn't know, they would think he was going to fight with weapons.
"The shop is ready. Everyone follow me. You can pick out the best equipment at your leisure."
As soon as they arrived at the shop, these people impatiently rushed in and began to buy equipment in large quantities.
Zhou Yan was very happy. The more the Stone race people bought, the more spiritual currency he earned.
However, there were still too many people, and several long queues had to be formed.
He also started helping to put equipment on the shelves. Anyway, he was too lazy to look at the equipment attributes. Equipment of different qualities was simply priced according to their respective qualities.
While equipment was being continuously put on the shelves and sold here, people in other worlds were rapidly clearing the equipment from the market.
They had even reached cooperation with several large merchants and could acquire a large batch of equipment each time.
This greatly guaranteed the source of equipment, causing his spiritual currency to increase at a terrifying speed.
He was setting up information for automatic recycling of items, mainly for recycling stone materials, crystal cores, and damaged equipment of three stars and above.
After finishing these tasks, he left the place and returned to the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall].
He had to collect enough materials to upgrade the territory's level, so that more people could go to various worlds to earn money.
More than a dozen girls were already here. Li Shuang had arranged for them to come, and they all had some talent in business to varying degrees, making them most suitable for these tasks.
"Greetings, Lord."
They bowed and greeted Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan nodded with satisfaction.
He said to Xiao Wei, "Teleport me to the [Cang Lan Continent · Trading Market]."
"Understood."
With a flash of light, he finally arrived at the [Cang Lan Continent · Trading Market].
As soon as he entered the human trading market, he heard the spirited shouts of humans:
"Someone got into Long Qing Academy, someone got into North Emperor Academy, and someone got into Sheng Yang and Zi Wei Academies. If you didn't get in, it's definitely because you didn't buy my family's equipment."
"You take your well-trodden path, and I'll take my solitary bridge. If there's no road ahead, come into my shop. All kinds of skills are at your disposal, allowing you to ascend to the immortal realm directly."
"Even dragons fall, what are you waiting for? Ponce's Poison welcomes you."
"Thirty-meter broadsword for bargaining, no returns, everything at a gun price, hurry up and act now!"
"Want to see the day turn bright overnight? Want your gun to be like a dragon? Want to sing of battle every night? If you do, why are you still hesitating? Yun Nan Bai Yao, your most trusted friend."
...
...
This was how humans should be, with countless advertisements full of boasts.
This was much livelier than the trading markets in other worlds.
Humans were always able to make a small item into something grand; this was human wisdom.
He checked his location, then went to an area specifically for summoning mounts and summoned his [Lightning] Persian horse.
"Giddy up!"
Riding [Lightning], he went all the way to the teleportation array and headed towards the south of the city.
