    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    The output of 11,000 jin of soy sauce per day may not seem like much, but it is still there, so it is better to exchange it for money.

    I bought a filling and packaging machine, and Xie Xingchen sold it at a price of 200g/1000 star coins per bottle.

    There are three main types for sale, which are the most common categories in Xie Xingchen's opinion-light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and fish raw soy sauce.

    Because of its low price (compared to other soy sauces) and perfect quality, Earth Trading Company's soy sauce has already gained popularity before it even started selling.

    It is also a blessing to drag Xie Xingchen. Now the food culture of the Star Alliance is developing rapidly. Although soy sauce is not commonly used, it is not something that has never been seen before.

    Similarly, it is also the "blessing" of Xie Xingchen's gourmet course, and the sales of soy sauce have been opened.

    However, some unscrupulous merchants have increased the price of soy sauce on the grounds that "the price of natural food has risen, resulting in an increase in the cost of brewing".

    The price of a 500g bottle of soy sauce ranged from a few thousand stars to 10,000 to 20,000 stars.

    As for how much to sell, it depends on whether the seller has a conscience.

    Compared with them, Xie Xingchen only sells a bottle of soy sauce for 1000 star coins this time, which is the price of cabbage, even though his soy sauce weighs only 200g.

    The weight of this soy sauce actually has another story.

    Originally, Xie Xingchen planned to bottle 500g for sale.

    The price... is also 1000 star coins.

    After all, in his view, the necessities of life should not be sold at high prices.

    However, Fa Cai stopped him with a very simple reason.

    ——Not all bosses are as cheap as him!

    Xie Xingchen was successfully persuaded.

    The most important reason for the high price of natural food is that it is difficult to cultivate, and the growers want to make more money, which leads to the phenomenon of "naturally high prices" for this kind of products.

    So even if some conscientious businessmen want to sell at a low price, they can't beat the price at all. After all-the raw materials are not in their hands, and the Star Alliance green plants have always been sold at high prices.

    This is something that can't be helped, and it doesn't depend on their wishes.

    But ordinary people don't care about that.

    Once Xie Xingchen sells it at a super low price, maybe everyone will think that the cost of this kind of thing is actually very low.

    In this way, everyone will be scolded miserably, including those businessmen who are already trying to make small profits but sell quickly.

    And then, maybe they'll go bankrupt?Or broken cans really sell at a high price?

    No matter what the result was, it was not what Xie Xingchen wanted.

    So he compromised.

    The unit price of the soy sauce he sells now is actually cheaper than the soy sauce he bought at the beginning.

    This price difference does not need Xie Xingchen to explain to everyone.

    After all—one is a company that produces soy sauce, and they have to plant planets before producing products, and they are paid for raw materials;

    ...

    On the third Sunday in October, soy sauce is officially sold.

    For the first time, Earth Trading Company sold 300,000 copies of soy sauce, including 100,000 copies of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and fish raw soy sauce.

    In this rush to buy, what Xie Xingchen didn't expect was—light soy sauce was the fastest-selling one?

    He was puzzled by this.

    After thinking about it, he couldn't find a reason to convince himself.

    In the end, Xie Xingchen understood why light soy sauce was the fastest selling through hot searches.

    [Woooooo soy sauce is too fragrant, soy sauce yyds!Only a small amount of cold dressing is enough to taste, which greatly saves the amount of soy sauce used!】

    [+1, light soy sauce is more salty, suitable for cold salad, dark soy sauce will have a bit of sweetness, I think it is more suitable for cooking, but I am not talented in cooking, so it is more cost-effective to buy light soy sauce!】

    [Hey, isn't the most important thing about soy sauce being versatile?If you don't mind the taste so much, it can be used for cold dressing, can be used for cooking dishes, and can be mixed with some boiling water to serve as raw fish soy sauce?[Goutoubaosheng.jpg]]

    Xie Xingchen: 0.0

    I never expected that such a realistic reason would cause the soy sauce to be sold out the fastest.

    It seems that he is divorced from the people!

    He has forgotten that this is an alternative era that requires "hard work".

    Here, daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are very expensive.

    Xie Xingchen is so tall that he doesn't know if he can really see them enter the homes of millions of people in his lifetime.

    A 200g bottle of soy sauce costs 1,000 stars!

    That's it, it's the cheapest!

    The monthly salary of the bottom-level intelligent life forms is only three or four thousand stars, so it's no wonder that everyone finds ways to save money.

    Soy sauce has become a "luxury". If you are not frugal, you really can't live in this day.

    ...

    The soy sauce business of the Earth Trading Company is booming.

    All kinds of assessments are in full swing.

    With the continuous increase of the evaluation results and the number of evaluation people, the earth firm soy sauce was pushed to the NO.1 throne.

    If only that's the case.

    However, after the soy sauce of the earth trading company was promoted to the No. 1 throne, the major soy sauce manufacturers ushered in the "kind greetings" and active resistance from netizens.

    There was no choice before.

    Now the earth trading companies are selling soy sauce!

    So...why should I still buy your sky-high priced soy sauce with average quality and average price?

    With this money, I can super double find the scalpers to buy soy sauce from the Earth Trading Company, okay!

    Look at others, 200g of soy sauce only sells for 1,000 star coins, and 1g of soy sauce is only 5 star coins.

    What about you?

    500g of soy sauce sells for 20,000 star coins?After conversion, 1g of soy sauce can be sold for 40 star coins. The taste is not good, but the price is eight times that of others!

    Just one question - do you deserve (yuck)?

    [Hahaha, don't hurt me by mistake, Huang's soy sauce is actually quite good!His family has been selling it at this price for a long time, and 1g of soy sauce is about 8 stars, right?However, it doesn't have a planting star or a planting manor, so it's inevitable that someone will make a fortune and the cost will increase.】

    [Speaking of which, I also want to mention one thing - Sujia soy sauce is also good!His soy sauce tastes a bit sweet, a bit like dark soy sauce?Anyway, after looking at it, there is sugar in the ingredients, and the price is very good, and it only costs 11 star coins per 1g.】

    [As for Yunjin soy sauce, forget it, damn it, the highest price on the whole network, 1g of soy sauce costs 50 stars?Hehe, is your soy sauce inlaid with gold?Poor people like us may not deserve to eat it!】

    When there is no sharp contrast, everyone will only sigh in awe at the high probability of rising prices.

    But when there is an obvious reference point, this kind of hesitation can easily turn into actual resistance.

    Yes, your family sells natural food, your family is amazing.

    That's right, natural food has just recovered, and the cost of each enterprise may be different, so it is difficult for the relevant departments to formulate a stable price.

    Then I don't buy the head office, do I?

    I have lived so long without eating soy sauce before, how can I not eat soy sauce now?

    Should I take back the nutrient solution assembly?

    Just your little soy sauce is more expensive than other high-grade nutrient solution.

    The most important thing is that the taste is so-so, completely sorry for the price.

    So do we look that much like the Wronged Ones?

    Then we don't buy it.

    More and more life forms joined the boycott.

    Of course, everyone is not brainless to resist.

    With so many living beings, there are always some capable people!

    They roughly calculated the cost, and added the money that the company should make on this basis. If the final price exceeds too much, then everyone will not buy it.

    It just saves money, doesn't it?

    After a day or two, the effect may not be obvious. Three days and four days, until a week or two, the group of companies that sell soy sauce at high prices to seek high profits will panic.

    At first they wanted to put on airs, but they were ignored, and finally lowered the price in desperation.

    But even so, the goodwill of the brand has been completely ruined. As a result, the business has plummeted. If you want to go back, the road will be bumpy.

    But within half a month, the word "Xie Xingchen" was blacklisted by many soy sauce merchants again.

    But Xie Xingchen is not ashamed but proud.

    He felt that the red scarf on his chest was much more colorful!

    When the soy sauce battle came to an end, Xie Xingchen once again turned his attention to mustard seeds.

    The demand for mustard was not high before, so mustard planting was dominated by conventional planting, which has led to a serious shortage of mustard supply and demand today!

    That is to say, wasabi has a strong taste, and usually only a small packet can be used to serve sashimi, otherwise Xie Xingchen's wasabi storage capacity would have been stretched long ago.

    So during this period of time, Xie Xingchen's daily job was to plant mustard greens.

    Today, as usual, he went to the mustard field to send spiritual power to the mustard.

    When he collected a certain amount of mustard seeds, he gave these collected mustard seeds to Changshou, and let Chang Shou lead a group of new planting robots to open up wasteland and grow vegetables!

    He collected 10 acres of mustard seeds in one go. When Xie Xingchen stopped, his back was sore and his legs were aching, and his energy was a little listless.

    But when he stepped on the hoverboard back to Xie's house and was about to lie down in the treatment cabin, the system didn't let him rest.

    The long-lost system notification sounded.

    [Ding Dong, congratulations to the player, the super-large infrastructure task currently in progress has been successfully completed!】

    [Ding Dong, congratulations to the player "Interstellar Transportation Construction (Earth)" for passing the system acceptance.System score: S grade]

    [Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for completing the super-large infrastructure task - interstellar transportation construction (Earth).】

    [Ding dong, mission rewards have been issued, unlock [Purchase permission for large defensive weapons].】

    "..."

    Xie Xingchen was stunned by a series of system prompts.

    However, this is not the end.

    [Ding Dong, congratulations to the player for completing the super-large infrastructure task for the first time, and received an additional task reward: 4000 experience points.】

    [System prompt: Congratulations to the player level +1, the current player game level is LV10, the experience required for the next upgrade: 300/100000]

    Completing the task actually gives experience points?

    And one gift is 4000 experience points?

    Xie Xingchen was shocked.

    but……

    There are no benefits for upgrading, and it will only be a short while to be surprised.

    He still focused more on the system.

    Xie Xingchen swore that he could just hear the system's joy from the continuous beeps.

    But different from the joy of the system, after Xie Xingchen was surprised that he had actually risen to LV10, his second reaction was——

    "Did you complete the task so quickly?" Xie Xingchen blurted out.

    You know, when he realized that he had no money, he began to send back some system engineers and engineering teams to the system.

    A small number of employees are "fired" every day. In the end, it is the robot engineer Xiaoxiao and its usual engineering team who are left to continue to complete the construction task.

    I have to say, this is really cost-effective.

    In the end, the system even refunded him the money.

    However, just when Xie Xingchen thought that the construction period would have to be extended from one week to seven or eight weeks to complete, Xiaoxiao finished it within five weeks.

    At this time, Xie Xingchen had only saved less than 200 billion star coins, half of which was contributed by [Miracle Girl], and he only got a warm profit yesterday.

    But barely 200 billion star coins seems not enough?

    After all, the system said that the weapons on the weapon page must have a minimum of 100 billion star coins!

    With this little money, he can probably only buy two of the lowest-level large-scale planetary defense weapons.

    [Ding Dong, after testing, the balance of the player's account is sufficient. Would you like to open the large weapon purchase page?】

    Xie Xingchen discovered Huadian.

    He asked curiously: "It is detected that the account balance is sufficient? What if the account balance is insufficient?"

    [System Reminder: There is no need to open this page if the account balance is insufficient.】

    The implication is that if you don't have enough money, you won't be able to open it, and you won't be able to use it anyway.

    Xie Xingchen: "..."

    What a realistic system!

    Sure enough, this game is impossible without money.

    [System: Would you like to open the purchase page for large defensive weapons?】

    The system prompts again.

    This time Xie Xingchen didn't ask any questions, and directly replied: "Open".

    As soon as Xie Xingchen finished speaking, tens of thousands of lights flashed across the system page.

    Like the golden crow falling or the star river hanging upside down, don’t know if it’s the moonlight or the starburst. These wonderful and constantly flashing halos suddenly form a sterious pattern. As time goes by, these patterns slowly expand and become a magnificent and sterious universe.

    And there is a vortex-type fluorescent flow... card pool below?

    Xie Xingchen:?

    Xie Xingchen panicked: "Wait, wait, isn't it the weapon purchase page?"

    Why is it so like a card pool?

    Draw card?He can't, he can't!

    For non-European imperial personnel, he only wants to clearly mark the price.

    [System: Please wait a moment, the purchase page is being refreshed.】

    Hearing what the system said, Xie Xingchen was a little relieved and a little uneasy.

    This is the first time the system has experienced delays.

    Another minute passed.

    [System Reminder: The purchase page for large defensive weapons has been successfully refreshed, and players can purchase their favorite weapons by themselves.】

    As the system prompt sounded, the card pool page in front of Xie Xingchen gradually changed its style.

    The card pool below is no longer in circulation, the background is also faded, and a photo of the weapon appears in the center of the page, as well as the corresponding price, quantity, purchase requirements, etc.

    They are all very cool weapons, even if you only look at the pictures, Xie Xingchen can feel chills from them.

    But cool weapons also come with cool prices.

    That's a price that makes one's heart stop beating just looking at it!

    A chubby thing that looked like an ancient seismograph was sold for 150 billion star coins!

    And you can't use discount cards, discount cards, free gift cards, etc. given by the system when purchasing. The most important thing is that the purchaser's level must reach level 10!

    Xie Xingchen: "..."

    Should he say thank you to the system for giving him 4000 experience points just now?

    As long as the system doesn't give him the 4000 experience points, he can't buy them even if he has money!

    Xie Xingchen must fall.

    He continued to click on other defensive weapons.

    Prices are in descending order, from high to low, he checked them all, wanting to look at them first, and then choose at the end.

    However

    Planet shield, planet shield... or planet shield?

    Why are the names of these defensive weapons all called "planet shields".

    Thinking so, he asked.

    [System: Because it's the same thing.】

    Xie Xingchen, who didn't expect the system to answer like this, was stunned.

    the same thing?

    He couldn't help but look at the picture a few more times.

    But... the appearance of each weapon is different.

    [System: The appearance can be changed, but the core remains unchanged.】

    Xie Xingchen:?

    Xie Xingchen was puzzled: "Then why is there such a big price difference?"

    From a few trillion stars to hundreds of billions to 100 billion.

    [System: Because of different abilities, the prices are naturally different.】

    Xie Xingchen asked sincerely, "Can you give me an example?"

    [System: They are all human, but some people can pass Tsinghua University and Peking University, while others get 0 points in mathematics.】

    Fuck, this example is so vivid that it almost broke Xie Xingchen's defenses.

    So does he have to buy the most expensive one?

    However

    [System Reminder: Under normal circumstances, the lowest-end planetary shield is enough for players to use normally.】

    Xie Xingchen: All right.

    Since the system said so, Xie Xingchen bought it.

    [Ding dong, the system has deducted the fee successfully, and the planet shield has been delivered, please collect it by mail.】

    After deducting 100 billion star coins, Xie Xingchen is only left with more than 90 billion star coins.

    Even if the difference is only one million star coins, if it is not enough for 100 billion star coins, it is not enough for 100 billion star coins. The system locked the purchase page of large defensive weapons without saying a word.

    According to the system prompts, Xie Xingchen received the freshly baked planet shield from the mail, and then - put it in the palace of Chang'an City.

    He also ordered countless energy stones from "Cosmic Energy" to recharge the weapon. After the recharge was completed, he felt at ease.

    Generally speaking, such super-large defensive weapons will not have the opportunity to be used. Such weapons are likely to be activated during wars or encounters with alien beast attacks.

    But having it is equivalent to the guarantee of life. Therefore, no matter how expensive the charge is, most of the planet owners are willing to lose their fortunes for it.

    After recharging, the balance of Xie Xingchen's account was only 80 billion star coins.

    The 80 billion star coins need to be used to build technology buildings, purchase a large number of different types of robots, and purchase monitoring equipment.

    If Xie Xingchen wants to open public routes, he even needs to pay an additional 20 billion star coins as a deposit.

    This money is a fee that all planets that need to open public routes have to pay, and it is mainly used as one of the sources of accident compensation.

    After all... There are still many interstellar pirates active in the universe, black holes in the universe sometimes appear inexplicably, and strange beasts are commonplace.

    And all of this adds to the dangers of spaceflight.

    Normally, adding a section of waterway that is maintained by someone is actually safer. However... if an accident is found on the waterway passing through your planet, then the planet owner will still have to do some humanitarian care. The money is humanitarian.compensated.

    Money is needed here, and money is needed there. In the end, Xie Xingchen found that he seemed to be becoming a pauper again.

    numb.jpg

    Sure enough, the tourism industry is not so easy to develop, the initial investment is too high!

    If he really wants to develop the tourism industry, apart from these big players, Xie Xingchen has several other big players.

    First of all, he needs to build some gourmet factories to reduce the probability of system machines being exposed.

    Then he has to consider tourists' "food, lodging, travel, shopping and entertainment".

    It's not difficult to eat, he has all kinds of food produced by food machines, as long as he trains robots, builds a tavern or something, and a food street, there is a high probability that it will be OK.

    Living is also simple. If you don't want to pay, you only need to use the empty Chang'an City, but here is close to the Chang'an workshop, so there is a risk of being exposed.

    Okay, it's not difficult, there are so many means of transportation, just a few vacant ones are enough.

    Touring is also simple, such a big Chang'an city, and there are various flower fields outside Chang'an city, you can see and take pictures, tourists will be satisfied.

    It is enough to just move a part of the products of the earth trading company out.

    The most difficult thing is "entertainment".

    Because Xie Xingchen intends to only receive a small number of tourists in the early stage, but it will be difficult for him to hold activities if there are fewer tourists (there is a high probability that he will not be able to pay back the cost and there will be insufficient manpower).

    Although netizens are clamoring that they want to come to the earth to play, in fact, if there is nothing for them to play when they actually arrive, netizens will also "turn their faces".

    But if Xie Xingchen's activities are not good or he doesn't hold any activities at all, this group of netizens with such high expectations will definitely be disappointed, and the evaluation may not be so good at that time.

    While lying in the treatment cabin, Xie Xingchen was thinking wildly.

    Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

    When woke up, it was another mood.

    Before going to sleep, he really wanted to start tourism quickly, but after waking up, he felt that it should be done slowly.

    It is said that sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood.

    Although the construction of the interstellar waterway on the earth has been completed.

    But he hasn't covered up the secret yet!

    Hastily brought people to Chang'an City?This danger is not small.

    In addition, a lot of things are still in the beginning, and he doesn't have to make money from tourists.

    That being the case, it is better to develop further, at least... you have to wait until the construction of Bianjing City is completed before bringing people here, right?

    Compared with Chang'an City, Bianjing City is obviously more life-like, and it is also more suitable for tourists to live and play.

    And it's even better located!

    It is a certain distance from Chang'an City, so it can be said that it is far away from Chang'an Workshop.

    And the place where Bianjing City is about to be built is surrounded by wasteland.

    He just happened to be able to reclaim the nearby wasteland into flower fields, plant landscape trees and fruit trees on the mountains, and then build beautiful temples, pavilions and pavilions on the mountains... Finally, there are hot springs, and he can also build hot spring holy places.

    In this way, the landscape is enriched and the activities are also enriched.

    Xie Xingchen wrote down his thoughts bit by bit.

    Then silently withheld the 20 billion star coins that he wanted to pay last night.

    Finally, he picked Ludwig's lunch break and happily sent him a message.

    He just dialed the communication, and it was connected there.

    After seeing Ludwig, Xie Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he said briskly, "Luther, I have something to ask you!"

    Maybe he didn't even realize it himself, but at this time he was as cute as a puppy who was just born and loved.

    Seeing his appearance, Ludwig couldn't help chuckling.

    That magnetic voice is simply the benefit of sound controllers!

    Ludwig's eyes warmed quietly: "What's the matter?"

    Hearing him ask such a question, Xie Xingchen was stunned.

    He said cheerfully at him: "Of course it's a good thing! Didn't you tell me that the employment rate of the newly awakened mechanical life is low? I'm here to give you the employment rate today!"
