He began to examine the items on the screen.
Many things appeared.
The first item was called an interstellar communication mobile phone, from a place called [Wei Chen Star · Trading Market], priced at two million spirit coins per unit.
This mobile phone had a very long signal range. At short distances, it possessed all the functions of a normal mobile phone. However, if two planets were too far apart, it could only send messages, though voice messages were also possible.
This interstellar communication mobile phone was highly recommended by Xiao Wei, as it claimed a signal tower could be built here, ensuring communication functionality between all mobile phones.
Xiao Wei also searched for information about this signal tower, which came from another world called [Fei Ma Star · Hamuske People Trading Market], costing ten million spirit coins.
Although the prices of these items were quite high, they were all necessary purchases.
Zhou Yan felt that these names truly sounded alien, and the civilization levels of these planets seemed quite advanced.
He then looked at other similar items, including high-tech communication devices.
However, some were either too large or too expensive, making them unsuitable for purchase.
Some were even single-use items, gone after one use.
Of course, Zhou Yan also had another method: the communication immortal arts from the cultivation professions.
Unfortunately, this technique could only be learned by those with cultivation or immortal cultivation professions.
The occupational restrictions prevented them from learning this particular magic.
Thus, in the end, he still chose the first type of interstellar communication mobile phone.
"Xiao Wei, can you check which resource [Fei Ma Star] lacks the most?"
Since he was going there to buy things, he naturally couldn't return empty-handed. He needed to earn some travel expenses.
He was a thrifty person.
If he could earn some pocket money along the way, he wouldn't waste the opportunity.
"I can only query items listed on the trading market of [Fei Ma Star] with the highest trading volume. I cannot know what resources their planet lacks the most."
Xiao Wei replied that it could only obtain data for items listed on the trading market.
For private transactions, such as Zhou Yan's trading methods in [Stone Realm], it could not acquire data.
"That will do. As long as I know which resource has the largest trading volume there and understand their planet's resource prices, it will be easy."
As long as he knew which resource had a large trading volume on their planet, it would be manageable.
Xiao Wei quickly displayed the items with the highest trading volume on [Fei Ma Star] in recent years on a large screen.
Xiao Wei then added, "I found that in the past ten years, the prices of some items on [Fei Ma Star] have been rising year by year, and the quantities are gradually decreasing. Shall I list them?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan quickly said, "Of course, you must list them. These items must be urgently needed by them."
"Alright." Xiao Wei quickly displayed on another large screen the items that had the largest price increase within ten years, along with a comparison of quantities on [Fei Ma Star] from ten years ago to the present.
This was like big data, clearly showing the items with the highest trading volume and the most significant price fluctuations on [Fei Ma Star] in the last decade.
He just needed to bring items urgently needed by [Fei Ma Star].
Of course, he could not guarantee the actual situation on [Fei Ma Star], but he could say there was a high probability he wouldn't lose money.
He discovered that most of the urgently needed items on [Fei Ma Star] were rare metals and rare ores.
Some were ores he had previously purchased in [Stone Realm], and they were of quite high quality. He had only bought about a hundred thousand units.
Trading items between these two worlds would require a lot of manpower, as the items lacking in each place were in different worlds.
This would require a team to collate and process the information, and then reasonably manage the reselling.
The crucial problem was that he didn't have anyone to handle these tasks.
Because Diao Chan and the others were not modern people and didn't understand these things.
Of course, he had his own idea, which was the [Cinema].
In movies, there were no shortage of films about business elites. With his incredibly cool and overwhelming strength, it wouldn't be difficult to "trick" them into working for him.
It was just that the cooldown for the [Cinema] hadn't expired yet, and he didn't trust the people on the Canglan Continent.
If information about his territory were leaked, countless lords would try to seize it. Facing an endless army of lords, he wasn't confident he could repel them all.
Don't assume he was very strong.
The Lord World had developed for so long, and the strength of those veteran lords was absolutely not to be underestimated.
For safety's sake, he couldn't hire any social elites from the Canglan Continent, no matter how capable they were.
Even if he did, they would only work on the Canglan Continent, procuring supplies for his territory.
This was because the Canglan Continent had strict labor laws. Any lord employing someone in a hired capacity to work in their territory could not restrict their personal freedom to return to the Canglan Continent for extended periods.
If this rule was violated, the contract they signed would immediately take effect, and they would face imprisonment.
Even bringing in someone like Madman Zhang San wouldn't help.
After all, the Canglan Continent wouldn't quibble with you over words. Breaking the law was breaking the law; there was no need for so much nonsense.
It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yan didn't want to hire anyone from the Canglan Continent.
Besides himself, he didn't trust anyone from the Canglan Continent.
Those summoned by the territory were, of course, exceptions.
He then had Xiao Wei search for the scarce resources on [Tian Ma Star]. After recording them, he stopped searching. The teleportation fee to this planet was very low, only 100 spirit coins.
This was a human planet and not too far away.
He inquired of Xiao Wei how many spirit coins it would cost to teleport to the [Canglan Continent · Trading Market]. Xiao Wei said it was free.
Since he was already in this world, it didn't cost any spirit coins.
The planet where the rare metals were located was called [Moon Star · Trading Market]. He strongly suspected that the people on this planet had immigrated from elsewhere.
Since it was a human planet, there was no need to worry too much.
"Teleport to [Moon Star · Trading Market]," Zhou Yan said.
Xiao Wei replied, "Spirit Coins -100, initiating teleportation..."
"Teleportation to [Moon Star · Trading Market] successful!"
Overall, this kind of trading market was very much like a world in an online game, vast in scale.
The architectural style here was quite peculiar, with unique shapes and a decidedly sci-fi appearance.
The multitude of buildings made one's eyes dazzle.
"Buying Moonstones of five-star quality and above. Prices are guaranteed to satisfy. Trade can be made with just one stone. Highest price on the entire Moon Star, welcome to inquire!"
"Selling gold-quality sets, sold in batches of ten sets or more. Powerful attributes, favorable prices. Friends looking for long-term cooperation, hurry!"
"Weapons fresh from the forge of Diamond Crafting Master · Lucian. All are dark gold and platinum quality, only ten pieces in total. Hurry if you want one."
"Just slain Level 70 pseudo-wyrm. Come quickly for dragon meat, dragon sinew, and dragon bones. Be quick or they'll be gone."
"Come and see, come and see! Master Jeweler customizes personal jewelry. Prices are not expensive; if you have money, I'll make it."
...
...
Human trading markets are never lacking in liveliness.
They have intelligent minds and use various methods to sell their goods.
Regardless of the quality of the items, their professional spirit is commendable.
