Chapter 501 The Trade Center of Various Ethnic Groups
The dwarves, on the other hand, requested a large forge to facilitate the processing of some special requirements put forward by the Great Xia.
The elves wanted to release the World Tree so that tourists from the Great Xia Dynasty could visit and pay an entrance fee.
As for the orcs, they felt it was unnecessary to waste the rent. They didn't have much to offer tourists, and they couldn't very well let tourists watch them doing hard labor in the fields.
In the end, Zhao Gang gave the suggestion that they perform acrobatics, such as mermaids performing underwater, cute cat-eared girls dancing and acting cute, and centaurs performing battles, etc.
Warwick initially listened with suspicion, thinking, "Isn't this just the daily life of orcs? What's so interesting about it?"
Zhao Gang said not to worry, the people of Daxia have never seen anything like this before. You can charge admission fees and you're guaranteed to make a profit.
Seeing that Zhao Gang had given his assurances, Warwick reluctantly paid the rent.
Thus, all four tribes had a place in the center.
The dragon race, however, doesn't know how to do business, but they always feel that all the other races are here, and it would be a shame if their own race were missing, as if the Terra dragon race didn't have any dragons.
As the dominant species of Terra, how can this be allowed?
So they decided to rent a large plot of land in the center and let the two dragons sleep there whenever they had free time.
Originally, these wealthy and powerful companies didn't want to pay rent, but Zhao Gang suggested it was necessary, and that a fence should be built to isolate tourists.
To prevent the dragon from being too large and injuring tourists when it rolls over.
The entrance fee doesn't need to be much, just enough to cover the rent.
The dragon Adis thought this made sense. It didn't want to wake up one day, roll over, and crush a Great Xia person to death, causing a diplomatic incident and damaging relations.
Once it officially opens, this area will truly become a black hole for visitors.
Tourists who are tired from shopping can squeeze into the middle, play around once, and then continue to walk through the remaining half of the shops.
A perfect closed loop.
Lin Mo walked forward along the right-hand corridor.
The first area on the right was given to the Holy Humans.
This was Lin Mo's personal motive.
As tourists from Great Xia enter through the main gate, the first thing they see is the shop of the Holy Human Race.
They are at the point where they have the most money on hand, their desire to consume is the strongest, everything they see seems new and exciting, and they impulsively spend money.
Given the entrustment from the Holy Human Pope, Kyle's selfless teaching, and his own status as a Holy Son, it's reasonable to give them the best positions.
Continue forward, the second area on the right is the Dwarf territory.
The first spot on the left side of the gate was given to the elves.
The second-to-last segment on the left is the worst position, and it's given to the Orc race.
no way.
On the continent of Terra, the orc race held a very low status, ranking last, and no one could really say anything about it.
Besides, Grom the centaur was so happy when he got his bunk that he stomped his feet, not caring at all whether the location was good or bad.
It has to be said that having a brain full of muscles is one of the downsides.
The shops of the four ethnic groups are arranged in a row, forming a complete circle.
Da Xia needs to collect rent for all the venues.
Each ethnic group is merely a tenant.
The land was built by Da Xia, the infrastructure was built by Da Xia, and the security system was installed by Da Xia.
You can come here to do business, pay rent monthly, and I will treat everyone fairly, young and old.
No matter how you look at it, this deal from Daxia is a bargain.
Of course, all the tribes also profited. The purchasing power of the Great Xia Dynasty was not to be underestimated, so they were all happy to operate businesses and pay rent.
Lin Mo walked around and looked around, noticing that many shops were already making their final preparations.
The Holy Human race's dozens of shops displayed rows of shimmering magical ornaments and small magic circle scrolls.
For example, purification, healing, warning, blessing, etc.
As for offensive magic scrolls and items, the Great Xia Dynasty strictly prohibits them.
Other shops also sell specialty foods, clothing, items, handicrafts, and so on.
Behind the counter, you can see several shop assistants dressed in white robes carefully wiping the shelves.
The elves on the left had set up their shops like they were in a primeval forest, with lush green vines entwining the area, and some shops even had two potted living, glowing plants in front of them.
The leaves emitted a pale green fluorescent glow, and a faint floral fragrance wafted in the air. Just passing by, one couldn't help but want to go in and take a look.
The items I bought were all unique, such as fruits, mushrooms, magical items, specialty foods, handmade crafts, clothes, and so on.
In contrast, the dwarfs' shops were much more rustic, selling mostly armor and equipment of various grades, in addition to the characteristics of the other races.
Lin Mo estimated that tourists from Daxia who like cosplay and anime would be so happy they'd faint.
Who wouldn't want a set of special effects equipment that emits various lights and provides various attribute bonuses?
Furthermore, the dwarves also provide the means of rune inscription.
When the people of Great Xia come here, they can have a stability rune engraved on their phones to ensure that the game won't lag or overheat.
Engraving a stability rune on a computer host can make it last for decades.
Engraving levitation runes on your shoes allows you to experience the feeling of weightlessness on the moon, or even feel like a flying man.
Lin Mo walked along the various dwarf shops for a while, but didn't find Thorin at all.
Lin Mo asked a dwarf who was moving goods, and the dwarf pointed inside.
"The elder is in that big shop inside."
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and quickened his pace.
After turning two corners, a familiar scent could be smelled from afar.
Liquor.
He pushed open the door.
Thorin Steelbeard squatted in the corner of the warehouse, with three jars of dwarven wine in front of him and a wine bowl in his hand, his beard covered in wine stains.
Upon seeing Lin Mo enter, the old dwarf abruptly hid his wine bowl behind his back and stood up with a serious expression.
"Mr. Lin! What brings you here?"
"I've come to talk to you about something." Lin Mo glanced at the three jars of wine on the ground, his lips twitching slightly.
"Are you... critiquing the product?"
Thorin coughed lightly and nodded seriously.
"Of course! This batch of wine will be on the shelves for sale to customers tomorrow, and as a dwarven elder, I must personally inspect its quality!"
"What if the quality is poor and it ruins the dwarves' reputation?"
As he spoke, the smell of alcohol wafted directly onto Lin Mo's face.
The evaluation was quite thorough.
Lin Mo was too lazy to expose him, so she simply pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Elder Thorin, I have something important to discuss with you."
Upon hearing the words "serious business," Thorin's drunkenness subsided somewhat, and his eyes became serious.
"What is it?"
"I remember you have gravity runes, right?"
Thorin paused, then nodded.
"Yes, but we rarely use it. It's usually used on a forging table to increase the hammering power."
Lin Mo spoke:
"What is the maximum area that your dwarven gravity runes can cover?"
Thorin stroked his beard and thought for a moment.
"Look at the size of the runes."
"Do you want to leave your mark on your spaceship?"
"That shouldn't be a problem. Just talk to my people. The price is negotiable."
Lin Mo knew about this; the issue of the spaceship's gravity had already been discussed with the dwarf leader who had left behind a legacy on Earth.
"If what I want to cover isn't the spaceship..." Lin Mo paused for a second.
"Or an entire planet?"
Thorin's wine bowl fell to the ground with a "clatter".
The pieces shattered, and the wine spilled all over the floor.
He stared wide-eyed at Lin Mo, his voice trembling as he said:
"You said... a whole one what?"
