Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1177 - 313: Ranching over Plundering, Colonial Trade_4

Before mastering the ability of Space Jump, Armed Vehicles will always be the primary choice of functional support tools for the vast majority of players.

As time passed, more and more players began to go to sea.

In each direction of the Bright Star Sea Area, they engaged in fierce battles with the Mingwu Clan to gain Hunting Rewards and profits from them.

Three days later.

Ah Lan appeared again on Mist Conceal Island.

This time, through Location Transmission, he appeared directly in front of Ye Ming.

This truly surprised Ye Ming, and also made him reevaluate the power of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

"Right on time."

As the white light faded, Ah Lan smiled and nodded at Ye Ming, then took out a "Pillage Exemption List" written on self-made paper from his Space Bag and handed it over.

The races on the list had all agreed to the terms of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, henceforth obtaining the protection of the Mingwu Clan through tribute.

Creating this list was not easy.

The list was essentially a map, marking the islands of the races willing to pay tribute and detailing related information about these races.

The writing and translation of the text were all conducted through research in the library.

Otherwise, if marked with Earth characters on the map, Ye Ming obviously wouldn't understand.

He had been busy with this all these days and only now had he completed this map list.

Ye Ming took the map list and examined it with his head lowered.

After a long while, Ye Ming raised his head, frowning slightly:

"The list you provided has many similar resource points for different races, such as the mining area work, where the characteristics of the Earth Cave Clan and the Heavenly Rudder Clan are similar. You could completely assign the responsibility of mining these two island resource points to one of these clans. Based on the size of these two clans, either of them could handle mining the resource points of two islands simultaneously. There's no need to keep both clans around, right?"

Facing Ye Ming's question, Ah Lan, who had already prepared a response, immediately explained:

"In terms of resource output, these two races do not have specialized strengths, and their methods of resource mining also overlap. However, in other domains, these two races might be able to assist with the development of the Mingwu Clan."

"Firstly, the Earth Cave Clan, although they are not skilled in combat, have resided underground for generations. Their intuition towards mineral veins far surpasses other races, allowing them to detect many special ores within the strata. During mining, they can easily grasp the production of those rare Spirit Ores, occasionally bringing surprises."

"As for the Heavenly Rudder Clan... their combat abilities are weak, but they excel in constructing various types of buildings. They can provide some degree of assistance to the future clan land construction of the Mingwu Clan. Even if your Mingwu Clan doesn't need it, my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce does. This clan holds value in the eyes of my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, so we must keep them."

After speaking, Ah Lan did not continue further.

Ye Ming remained silent for a moment, eventually nodding slowly:

"The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is now our ally. Since you have a need, let them live on."

At this point, Ye Ming suddenly changed the subject:

"But what does the 10% resource commission on the map list mean?"

"All the tribute collection, supervision, and transportation processes are all handled by my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Shouldn't we rightfully receive a 10% profit? The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Mingwu Clan's collaboration is fundamentally to earn profit, not just for so-called protection. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce doesn't require any power protection."

Ye Ming did not dwell on this point, nodding with a smile:

"You're right. The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and my Mingwu Clan are in a cooperative relationship. Naturally, there is a need for resource profits, but the transportation work you mentioned can be handled by my clan. As for supervision, we only need to assign a few of my Mingwu Clan warriors to each island, and the so-called responsibility you mentioned is nothing but the final tabulation of resource rewards. This does not seem difficult. Just for this, you want to take 10% of the profit?"

Ah Lan smiled slightly, tapping his fingers on the table's surface, producing a crisp rhythm, with a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:

"General, you seem to have underestimated the weight of the word 'transportation.' Indeed, the Mingwu Clan can handle transport and supervision by themselves, but your main war force must be mobilized to the front lines for the upcoming battle with the Ascension Sea. Do you think the two forces of the Ascension Sea will remain passively defensive? Won't they actively raid and plunder the resources of the Bright Star Sea Area?"

"As soon as war begins, both the Ascension Clan and the Shuyan Domain will conduct investigations on the Bright Star Sea Area. Whether it's the Ascension Clan or the Shuyan Domain, both forces have mastered Space Jump technology, enabling them to bypass frontline defenses and directly descend on the Bright Star Sea Area to plunder Mingwu Clan's transportation resources."

Ye Ming's expression stiffened slightly, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing this, Ah Lan became even more determined in his heart:

"10% of the profit buys not just transportation but also the absolute security guarantee provided by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."

"How secure is it?"

"As I said before, even if the entire Bright Star Sea Area is destroyed by an external force in the next second, the resources stored with my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce will still exist. When your homeland world's clansmen return to Monster World, they will still be able to inherit these resources from my Chamber. This is the integrity of my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."

"All right, I agree." This time, Ye Ming did not continue to make things difficult and decisively accepted the terms.

"Pleasant cooperation."

Having fully negotiated the terms, Ah Lan extended an invitation to Ye Ming:

"Ten days from now, my Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce will host an auction on Dream Island, where many rare resources will appear. General, perhaps you could come and take a look. You might find an auction item that satisfies you."

Ye Ming, upon hearing this, had ripples in the mist around him, his interest immediately piqued.
