"Huh...fortunately, I ran away quickly."
Xia Ye rode a broom and shuttled quickly between buildings.
Debso Tower is a city with a high population density. In order to avoid too much chaos in the air traffic, "Ether Exploration" has planned flight channels in the sky. Under normal circumstances, everyone must fly within the scope of the channels. Otherwise, it will be considered as violating traffic rules and will be fined.
This is why everyone would rather be stuck in the air than fly outside the passage.
However, now Xia Ye can no longer care about so much, just fine the fine, anyway, there will be a lot of moles soon. Now, all she wanted to do was fly to the port.
…
Half an hour later, the port finally appeared in front of her eyes. Although she had been mentally prepared, Xia Ye was still shocked when she actually saw the scene.
The berth of the "Moby-Dick" was surrounded like an iron barrel.
It is a "bucket" in the true sense of the word.
In addition to the crowd gathered on the ground, there were also many spectators in the air. They were riding brooms and hovering in the air. Those who arrived first were at a lower position, while those who came later had to hover higher. , just like this, the onlookers are superimposed layer by layer, and finally form a towering tube wall.
Xia Ye hovered in the distance, thinking about how to squeeze through this "iron bucket".
Although it seems a bit tricky, it is not a big problem for her with a mind full of wisdom. Within a moment, Xia Ye came up with a plan.
She first put the cloak on herself and let the hood cover her head. Then she controlled her head and made some small adjustments.
After two circles in the air, she found a place with a thinner "barrel wall" and flew straight over.
In front of them were brooms hovering in mid-air, crowded together. Xia Ye randomly picked an unlucky person and bumped into the tail of the other person's broom without mercy.
"Hey! Why are you squeezing...ahhhh!!"
The other party turned around, and before the words in his mouth could be cursed, they turned into a scream.
What on earth is inside that hood...
While the other person was still in shock, Xia Ye squeezed in through the gap left by the other person, and then bumped into the broom of the person further inside.
"What are you doing...?"
Sure enough, this man was so frightened that he moved out of the way.
Xia Ye flew forward a little more, and then patted the sister in front of her on the shoulder.
"What's wrong...oooo!!"
…
In this way, everyone who turned around was frightened by her and gave way to a path. Xia Ye was so powerful that she passed through this "iron barrel" at the speed of a German armored division breaking through the Ardennes Forest.
"As expected, having many eyes is scary." After successfully breaking through, Xia Ye summed up his victory experience, "Xiuji, thank you for having so many eyeballs."
"The pupils of this cat are not used to scare you, meow~ You should change back quickly, even looking at this cat will give you trypophobia, meow~"
"But when you were in your prototype form, didn't you just have so many eyes on your body?"
"It's not as densely arranged as you, meow!"
Xia Ye returned her head under the hood to its original position while flying towards the "Moby Dick". Before she got close, a uniformed port worker stopped her in mid-air.
"Unrelated personnel are prohibited from entering. If you want to watch the excitement, please stay outside the unloading area."
"I'm not an unrelated person, I'm the ship owner." Xia Ye said.
"Huh?!"
The other party was stunned for several seconds before finally understanding the meaning of this sentence: "Could it be that...you are..."
"Shh-"
Xia Ye put her index finger in front of her lips to tell the other party to be silent. Then, he flew towards the whale ship below with a "whoosh".
Yaha and the first mate were discussing something on the quarter deck. As soon as the summer night fell, Yaha came over: "You are finally here... I almost thought you couldn't make it."
"Fortunately, this witch is smart." Xia Ye smiled, "What's going on now?"
"Thanks to the port sending people to help, we finally kept out all the spectators. Now we are discussing how to sell the whale oil."
"What's the point of this?"
"Normally, you can just find a whale oil refining company, negotiate the price, and buy it to the other party. But this time, the three oil refining companies of Exxon, Amok, and Sher have sent people over to sell this oil. Whale oil from a whale. The first mate and I were just discussing which one to choose.”
"In this case, you usually choose the one with the highest price, right?"
"But now the prices of the three of them are the same. Originally, Exxon quoted 92, Amok 95, and Sher 98. We originally wanted to choose Sher, but there must be people secretly passing information between these three companies. Exxon and Ah Mok soon learned about the quotations from the other two companies, so..."
"They also raised the price to 98?"
"If that's the case, we don't have to be so entangled." Yaha spread his hands: "Just now, the bosses of the three oil refineries probably reached a private agreement, and now both Amok and Sher have lowered the price to 92."
Xia Ye: "..."
"Can I first ask how the price of whale oil is determined?" she asked.
"Let me explain, Sister Xia Ye," the first mate said, "Generally speaking, a ton of whale oil contains about 100 moles of magic power. However, due to the losses during refining, the refining company's commission, etc., a ton of whale oil contains about 100 moles of magic power. The price of a ton of whale oil sold to refining companies is generally only 80 to 90 moles.
"But this time there is something different. Firstly, everyone is paying attention to this beluga whale. If you can buy its whale oil, it is equivalent to a free advertisement for the company. Secondly, the content of this whale's whale oil is indeed It’s a bit higher than ordinary whales, so all three companies have offered prices above 90.”
"Hmm~~~"
Xia Ye roughly understood the situation. She thought for a while and suggested:
"In this case, let's open the bidding in the form of an auction!"
Yaha, first mate: "Huh?"
"And don't sell the whole whale's oil together. Divide them into... Let me think about it, divide it into 20 parts! Each part is 40 tons, which is about 4,000 moles worth of whale oil, and then auction them one by one."
Yaha and the first mate gradually understood Xia Ye's thoughts.
"Although this is good, there are still many difficulties in actual operation, right?" Yaha asked.
"Yeah, so we can let the port help."
"Huh?"
"Let the port send people over to help us organize the auction. Aren't there so many people watching outside? Anyone who can afford Moir can come to participate in the auction. After the auction is completed, we will give the port 2- A split of 3 points... Captain Yaha, please go over and invite the person in charge of the port, and I’ll have a chat with her.”
After a while.
A black-haired witch with her hair in a bun and meticulously dressed was brought to the stern deck by Yaha.
"Do you know who I am?" Xia Ye asked with a smile, pointing at his face.
