CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 232: HOSTING THE MARKET OPENING FAIR_2

If it were on the past Blue Star, such a place would naturally be a tourist destination, absolutely attracting a large number of humans willing to visit and experience it.

Even in the interstellar space, if well-utilized, it can also serve as a unique style.

"We can make this place a high-level trading location, leasing out these floating islands. I believe the chaotic environment here will attract many people," Shen Shi was currently planning the trading market.

"Indeed, in the trading market, the most important thing is not absolute order but rather a place for fishing in troubled waters," a human market operations officer fully supported Shen Shi’s view.

"We can also to some extent place guards here, so when traders want to flee or engage in black-market operations, they can easily maneuver through the crevices of these floating islands. I guarantee this will attract a large population."

"..."

To some extent, this is also a characteristic of the trading market in Gus Land.

Here, straightforward and honest transactions don’t actually make much profit; instead, it’s the blending of reality and fiction, utilizing and evading rules that often lead to sudden wealth.

Even though only a small portion might strike it rich, the overwhelming majority will become sacrifices, but so what?

No one has ever believed that Gus Land truly stands for an honest image; for those who enter Gus Land, the presence of Pillagers is common knowledge.

Those willing to take a gamble are always the majority.

Not to mention the weak and the bottom feeders, even a grand and powerful civilization like Tolan Civilization chose to gamble, only to silently swallow the bitter fruit of their loss.

Anyway, as the bank, the more intense the gambling, the more Gus Land earns.

As the market construction formally begins, Shen Shi’s attention is directed towards the upcoming challenges.

The failure of Tolan Civilization did quiet some people for a while, but the establishment of the trading market also means greater opportunities.

"You need a grand trade fair to announce the opening of the human trading market," Shen Shi received a notification from the Gus Land Supervisory Committee.

This isn’t a hard rule but a subtle one; without such an auction, the reputation would naturally be much weaker.

No matter how chaotic the management, or how much opportunity there is for exploitation, a trading market without strength won’t attract many people.

So, this is still an open strategy.

If humans want to succeed, they must expose more of themselves; if they don’t do well, showing weakness will only attract more to pounce.

However, Shen Shi was already aware of this future and had made preparations.

"Spread the word, and reduce the procedural fees for the trade fair to the lowest, attracting everyone who wants to trade," Shen Shi ordered.

In these three years, Human Civilization hasn’t just been confined to one place.

Shen Shi has sent out many humans.

Some have even directly settled in other trading markets.

It’s not hard to spread the news.

Yet, at present, quite a few people express concern.

"Those with precious treasures are all major powers. Even if they really want to trade, they can do it in their own venues. Will they really come?" Tao De asked on behalf of some.

Right now, everyone understands that Human Civilization hasn’t remotely gained a foothold in Gus Land.

To achieve in a short time what others and other civilizations have struggled to reach requires either showcasing formidable strength or paying a huge price.

From the moment Human Civilization obtained Level 5 Authority and started this Level 5 trading market, it was destined that they would face numerous challenges moving forward.

Therefore, many people worry that other forces might unite and directly refuse to come, leading to a massive failure of their opening trade fair.

Yet this is precisely not something they can control.

However, Shen Shi seemed entirely unperturbed.

"They will come, not only will they come, but they will bring treasure after treasure, even Tolan Civilization has prepared a lot of high-level devices intending to trade with us," Shen Shi said.

Everyone exchanged glances.

It’s not that they don’t believe it, they just can’t figure out why.

After all, just by not coming, Human Civilization would already be defeated.

"You still haven’t accustomed to the Gus Land style," Shen Shi shook his head and slowly explained, "Firstly, what they need isn’t a small victory but a grand one, to swallow us whole as a piece of prey in one go. If they don’t come, we do lose, but it’s just a drop in popularity at the start. Given time, there’s still a chance to rise slowly. Secondly, here, what is most important? Interest! Only interest! Don’t underestimate the reduction of trade transaction fees; indeed they have their own trading platform, but likewise, others won’t bring what they want to their trading market to trade. Every trading market’s opening trade fair is a rare opportunity to meet the trading conditions that are hard to meet on regular days. Thirdly, coming here gives them a better shot."

Shen Shi elucidated the three reasons rather simply.

The others could think of these points too.

However, they didn’t have the confidence that Shen Shi had.

Knowing the future, Shen Shi clearly understood how lively this opening trade fair would be and knew well the extent of both crisis and opportunity it contained.

He even suspected, if he wins big again this time, the accumulated victory would be enough to break through future restraints, unleashing all the accumulation and forming a dramatically changing future.

"Go prepare," the order was delivered, and all humans in Gus Land began to take action.

In fact, long before Human Civilization arrived, the news of the impending opening of the new trading market had already spread rapidly.

The most abundant presence in Gus Land was not civilizations like Tolan which migrated as whole tribes but rather other individual entities and teams seeking opportunities. Among them, quite a few come from B-level Civilizations.

Yes, don’t underestimate B-level Civilizations just because they seem strong; it’s the civilization as a whole that is strong, not the individual.

Therefore, many individuals from B-level Civilizations came to Gus Land to seek personal development.

A large portion of B-level Devices flowing in the market originates from these people.

The opening of the new trading market presents a possible opportunity for these individuals or small teams.

Therefore, when the news spread outward, the human civilization trading planet immediately became bustling.

Every day, numerous ships can be seen arriving. The grades of these ships vary greatly, some even carry a style akin to pillagers. A considerable number of people come to rent land, some knowing well the potential crisis Human Civilization faces at the moment, but the low cost during the new market’s development still attracts them to take a gamble.

Of course, Shen Shi has delegated these matters to others.

After all, this is the reason he brought so many people over.

However, there are some special and powerful forces that Shen Shi still needs to face personally.

At this moment, such a force had arrived.

And the reason Shen Shi personally faced them is simple — it was a Gus People force.

The Gus People are not all enjoying the vast privilege of being a banker high up in the skies. In fact, many Gus People have delved deeply into the large peripheral trading markets.
