6362 Chapter 6360-virtual trade competition
No matter what, when Lin Yi was about to fall asleep, he Hao finally finished the ceremony without any more tricks. This time, everyone applauded sincerely.
“Alright, I’ll just say a few words today. If you’re interested, you can come and chat with me in private.” He Hao said this with a smile, which made everyone’s face turn black. Then, they began to imagine what it would be like to chat with him in private.
After a cold shiver, everyone felt that it was better not to think about it. Focusing their minds on the upcoming competition was the right way. They couldn’t be distracted!
“The first competition of this conference is virtual trade!” After he Hao mentioned virtual trade, he paused for a moment and looked at everyone’s surprised expressions with satisfaction.
“I’ve never heard of this virtual trade!” Ao Tianba scratched his head. Although the events of each conference were basically not repeated, most of them could be understood at once, but this time, he did not understand.
Lin Yi’s head hurt. He didn’t know what virtual trade was, but he didn’t feel good when he thought about how he had to listen to he Hao’s explanation of the rules. Would it take another hour?
Lin Yi wasn’t the only one who had that thought-everyone who heard the words “virtual trade” had the same thought in their minds-uncle he, you could’ve just gone down for a drink and rest, leave this to someone else!
Unfortunately, he Hao didn’t feel like he needed a drink or a break. He started with the idea of virtual trade, then talked about how to realize virtual trade, how everyone would complete the competition, how the conference would decide the winner, and the arguments and considerations involved.
Another hour passed. Although he Hao didn’t mention any rules, everyone clearly understood what the rules were. Everyone was still very interested in the virtual trade. What they were more interested in was when it would start.
“The purpose of the competition is to use an illusion array. The designer of this project is indeed a genius, especially when the 20 fleets enter the same illusion array but experience different scenes. In the end, they have to communicate with each other, which is almost the same as the real world. Amazing!” Lin Yi’s array Dao was quite extraordinary, and he could naturally tell that this illusion formation was not simple.
Although there were ghosts around, Lin Yi couldn’t use formations to deal with this project. It was easy to break the formation, but once they did, it would be a failure. They had to experience everything in the illusion formation honestly.
“Indeed! Moreover, this project is to test the trading ability of each fleet, not the strength of each fleet. It can be said to be quite fair and just, and our chances of winning are very high!” Ao Tianba’s eyes were also shining. In terms of trade, he thought that he was quite outstanding. In just a few years, an ancient warship had developed into a fleet, which was the best proof.
In the entire 20 fleets, he was the weakest in terms of Foundation, but it also reflected his ability. A person who started from scratch, compared to those with inheritance, his trading ability was at least not inferior.
“That’s right. Each of the 20 fleets will receive a flagship, a frigate, and three treasure ships. In addition, there will be 500000 spiritual jades as start-up capital and a port as a base. Each port will have a unique specialty. Within a year, the person who obtains the most specialty and capital will win and be ranked in order. The points will be obtained according to the ranking. Brother ao Tian, do you have a plan?” Lin Yi summarized the rules of the virtual trade. It was only a few sentences, and it was quite impressive that he Hao could talk about it for more than an hour.
“I have a preliminary idea, but it’s not mature yet. For this competition, we first have to obtain the specialties of other ports, and then we have to prevent our opponents from obtaining our specialties. This seems to be a paradox. Using our specialties to exchange for the specialties of other ports, we can only compete in speed and see who is faster.” Virtual trade was all about exchanging goods. If everyone exchanged specialties like this, they had to consider the speed and route of the fleet. They had to plan the route to get the greatest time.
The starting capital seemed to be used to buy specialties from other ports, but ao Tianba felt that it was not that simple. If he had the pricing power of his port specialties, even 500000 spiritual jades might not be enough to buy many specialties.
“Brother ao Tian, don’t forget that an Alliance is always better than working alone. If a few guilds were to join together and trade with each other, they would definitely be able to maximize their profits. Furthermore, it is very likely to create a monopoly, and the number of guilds would only increase.” Lin Yi squinted his eyes as his brain started working.
Ao Tianba’s face turned a little ugly. As the third young master of the AO Tian family, he was not bad at networking. However, because he had left the family and did not rely on the family’s power to develop, he had almost no friends in the top 20 fleets. On the contrary, his opponents were not just Gu Yunhao.
In addition, ao Tianba’s ranking was very low, so even if others wanted to form an alliance, they wouldn’t look for him. At most, they would treat him as cannon fodder. Such a status was something that the proud ao Tianba would never accept.
Others would eat the meat while he would drink the soup. He might not even get the soup. For ao Tianba, who was aiming for the top two, there was no need to consider it at all.
“Trade ultimately can’t escape from war!” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in ao Tianba’s eyes. The rules did not say that they could not attack and Rob each other. Therefore, this competition was not only about trading, but also about fighting.
The problem was that ao Tianba knew very well that without any allies, even the battle would be quite difficult. It was fine if it was a one-on-one battle, but if he were to face two or three or more joint fleets, he would not even have the chance to escape.
“Those Allied fleets will definitely start a war in the end to destroy the opponent. Isn’t it more beneficial than letting the opponent get points?” Lin Yi nodded. The more the two discussed, the more he felt that this competition wasn’t as simple as it seemed. There were too many variables, and the discussion now could only be said to be a preparation. There was no guarantee that they could deal with all the changes.
“Okay, okay, let’s start the virtual trade competition. The time inside the illusion array is one year, but the actual time won’t be that long. About two hours will be enough, so don’t worry. If there’s something, it won’t delay you from coming out to deal with it.” He Hao said with a smile, but he didn’t know that everyone was crazily complaining in their hearts. It will end in two hours? If you’d stopped talking, we would’ve been in the second event by now, right?
