Chapter 695 - 211: Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, Trade Launch_3
It can even siphon various commercial activities from the Colorful Mist Coastline, offering ordinary players contact with the Alien Race, and selling homemade snacks.
But before establishing the black market trading center, they have many issues to address.
Thinking about the future, the first wave of chamber of commerce members arrived.
There were three players in total, arriving on a small blue boat.
As soon as they landed, they saw Ah Lan standing on the beach, making their expressions visibly animated.
They instinctively glanced at the player name over Ah Lan’s head to confirm his identity.
"President?"
"Yes, it’s me." Ah Lan smiled and greeted with a nod.
"Wow, Upper Realm Beings, aren’t you playing version A of Monster World?" the leading man said with surprise.
Hearing this, Ah Lan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, and then immediately explained:
"Version A of Monster World has ended, and in the future, players of the Moon Eclipse Clan will gradually enter version B, which is the current version."
It turns out that the impression of the Moon Eclipse Clan being overly aloof in previous virtual games made them seem eccentric in Monster World.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Although players call him an Upper Realm Being, it’s certainly not praise but rather a form of mockery of the Moon Eclipse Clan’s past indifference.
Whenever players of any race interact with members of the Moon Eclipse Clan, there is an inherent unspoken barrier.
This is a trend Ah Lan does not want to see.
In the future, the Moon Eclipse Clan will have to integrate into the Player Corps, and its future development will require collaboration with various forces of the Player Corps.
Only through integration can there be a future; standing out and even causing resentment among players of other races will only hinder the development of the Moon Eclipse Clan.
This obviously requires him and future Moon Eclipse Clan members who gain gaming qualifications to work together.
To overturn the stereotypes players of various races have towards Moon Eclipse Clan members.
At this moment, Ah Lan chose to lower his stance and actively engage in communication.
Soon, chamber of commerce members arrived in succession.
After landfall, chamber of commerce members invariably express surprise about his identity as a Moon Eclipse Clan member.
Some chamber of commerce members even joked whether there were internal mods to modify attribute data for their brothers.
It would be best to add a few zeros to the sacrificial power value.
Regarding this, Ah Lan replied in a joking manner, stating that if there were plugins, he would use them first, as he too is troubled by the difficulty in acquiring sacrificial power.
By self-deprecating, he aligns his needs with those of the chamber of commerce players.
This narrows the distance with chamber of commerce members and reduces barriers.
With increased communication, the sense of unfamiliarity fades away.
Once all chamber of commerce members arrived, Ah Lan stood up and looked toward the lush forest within the island.
Then he called up the map function, drew a circle in the center area of Dream Island, and shared it with the chamber of commerce members who had already formed a group.
"Let’s begin, clearing the area according to my plan." After saying this, Ah Lan led the chamber of commerce members towards the center direction of the island.
The island was covered in greenery and lacked a suitable site for building the trading center. At the starting stage, a lot of trees needed to be felled to clear an open space.
Eight routes connecting to the coast must also be cleared.
Players around Ah Lan summoned their weapons and began clearing the surrounding greenery.
The Power Barbarian Axe chopped, Ink Flame Fireball burned, Wind Returning Whip lashed... Members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce used Life Soul abilities to start the pioneering work.
Clearing the island is a significant project, but members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce can also earn a modest profit from it.
Felled ancient trees could be dismantled into wood blocks and listed on the Trading House for sale. There would be coastside stalls grilling fish, guild base builders, and sailboat makers, among various players spending sacrificial power to purchase them.
However, these common resources found everywhere in Monster World couldn’t sell for a good price.
An ancient tree could sell for just a few points of sacrificial power.
Listing on the Trading House is more to clear space on Dream Island, saving the trouble of moving and disposing outside, so much that members of the chamber of commerce would gladly give them away.
In this process, members of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce were incredibly diligent.
The expectation for the future was filled to the brim, and all members believed that the efforts of the early stages would certainly yield high returns in the later stages.
As time passed, the clearing work progressed steadily.
Under Ah Lan’s command, chamber of commerce members cooperated closely, felling, dismantling, and listing orderly at each step.
The central area of Dream Island was originally covered by lush greenery, nearby towering fern plants stretched their feather-like leaves, vines twined like snakes around ancient tree trunks, and dangling roots swayed gently in the wind, interwoven branches and leaves forming an impenetrable green canopy.
The ground was also covered in thick Falling Leaves, silent and soft to tread upon, swallowing one whole.
Due to time passing, the lower layer of Falling Leaves had decayed, filling the air with a damp, putrid smell.
As the clearing work advanced, the environment draped in green gradually revealed its true form.
During this, one ancient tree after another was felled, listed at the lowest price of 0.01 in the Trading House, quickly bought by players in need.
When the ancient trees in the central area had vanished, sunlight poured down on the newly cleared open ground like a sharp sword.
This area, which hadn’t seen sunlight for who knows how many ages, finally welcomed the first rays of brightness of the new Era.
Gazing at the tiny wooden dust particles floating in the air, Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce players were sweaty but smiled.
This effort that allowed them to glimpse the future filled their hearts with a desire to strive forward.
