Chapter 779 -552 Booming Development of the Trading Market

Time flies when you work hard.

Cement factories and steel plants sprang up one after another, continuously producing essential industrial products for infrastructure.

The number of robots also increased steadily over time.

The number of awakened people gradually recovered, which was not too urgent, with an average of about twenty thousand people waking up each month to reduce the societal burden.

In the sixth month, the foundation of the Lücao Trading Market was completely finished, with the first phase covering an area of approximately 22 square kilometers.

Inside, there were a total of 360 large buildings, over a thousand residential buildings, botanical gardens, animal breeding bases, restaurants, supermarkets, hot spring baths, and more, with all kinds of service functions fully equipped.

During these six months, the most important task completed was attracting investments as Green Grass City’s human resources were insufficient, and various service industries could not be catered to — moreover, it would be a waste to have the people of Green Grass City engage in service industries.

So, they recruited a batch of foreign races to work in industries such as catering, hairdressing, taverns, etc.

The first batch of 22 civilizations settled in, marking the start of a new era of grand trade.

However, this progress… was not very smooth.

Aside from “Wulan City” betting big on Green Grass City by spending 5 Luck to purchase a Floating Fortress, all other civilizations were extremely frugal and remained in a state of observation.

They only sent in a batch of diplomats without making large-scale purchases.

This is understandable.

The civilizations of the Northern Territory are mostly poor, worried about being scammed out of their possessions.

Green Grass City’s combat power was far superior to theirs; even if they were suddenly robbed, there was nowhere they could plead their case!

In this situation, Lu Yuan was compelled to hold a meeting, focusing on discussing this issue.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be too anxious. All beginnings are difficult; such phenomena were within expectations.”

“If we can’t have big fish and meat, let’s not miss the small fish and shrimps either.”

“As long as we continue to expand productivity and maintain order in the trading market, it will naturally heat up over time.”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: “The first important goal is to increase the number of Floating Fortresses, to at least 20, to meet internal usage and foreign trade demands.”

“That’s not a problem; it’s expected to take about 5 years,” said the leader of the industrial department.

“Secondly, for initial customers, we can offer small discounts.”

“In the major supermarkets of the trading market, promote our internal currency and offer a 20% discount on all major goods. Goods displayed in supermarkets must be cheap and good.”

The essence of currency is credit.

Credit can emerge out of nowhere and can also vanish without a trace.

Lu Yuan knew clearly that the internal currency “Green Coin” of Humans can’t vie for the status of a general equivalent with “Spirit Essence.”

But as long as people can use this currency to buy daily necessities like food, washbasins, lighters, pots, and pans, its credit will gradually establish.

After all, every civilization yearns for a better life, who can resist the lure of cheap industrial products?

“Third, I know some civilizations are eager and may want to test our strength. I hope to build a gladiatorial arena near the trading market, specifically for cold weapon combat.”

…

…

In the second month of the first year, a very magical opportunity appeared.

The menacing One-eyed Clan arrived at the Lücao Trading Market.

“Lücao Trading Market? Such a grand name, let me test your strength.”

“Who will fight me?!” The One-eyed Chief, wielding a Wolf Fang Club, issued an earth-shattering roar. freewēbnoveℓ.com

The battle between the 10-level One-eyed Chief and the 12-level Warrior King Worm·Lu Da, sparked a surge of public opinion.

The life-or-death gladiatorial match clearly stirred the hearts of all races.

All of a sudden, the previously calm trading market felt as though a heavy bomb had been dropped, and activity surged.

Lu Yuan also keenly sensed that this was a good opportunity, so he deliberately delayed the fight for a week, treating the One-eyed Clan guests with good food and drinks.

A week later, indeed, more races came upon hearing the news to witness the fight.

The result was obvious; the racial value of the One-eyed Clan, however high, was hard to surpass the real anomaly.

Lu Yuan specifically instructed the Warrior King Worm·Lu Da to hold back a bit, prolonging the fight; both sides battled back and forth for more than two hours before the One-eyed Chief, under countless gazes, exhausted himself completely, collapsing in defeat.

The audience felt thrilled, forming a preliminary assessment of human strength: “There’s a big gap between level 10 and 12.”

“We don’t even know how Green Grass City trained such warriors…”

“Our regular warriors are much more formidable.”

Instead of executing the challenging One-eyed Chief, the humans provided complementary treatment, winning the favor of many races in the process.

The One-eyed Chief, recovering at an astonishing speed, returned to the scene.

“The fight was exhilarating; less skilled than others, I concede,” said the One-eyed Chief holding the Wolf Fang Club, “Your Worm King is indeed formidable, but I want to fight your soldiers again once I fully recover!”

“You are welcome anytime! Our civilization’s soldiers are equally brave in battle, but we would have to use high-quality equipment to match up to you.” Lu Yuan said with a smile, admitting that without equipment, even an ordinary level 7 soldier could not withstand the force of your one strike.

This also admits that in the field of cold weapons, humans are inferior to the One-eyed Clan and need to compensate with equipment.
