Seventeen thousand points?
Qi Jie, who was listening intently next to him, was shocked and suppressed the flash of shock on his face.
Calculated based on the five hundred initial points issued by the game, this is the total initial points of thirty-four people!
If you just go through the level alone and complete various challenging tasks.
Even if all nine terrains are completed, this amount may not be accumulated.
But now.
This amount can be easily earned through a decomposition machine with almost no capital.
Qi Jie was in a daze for a moment, and the items on the merchant's sales list flashed through his mind.
Even for a modular product that costs up to 5,000 points each, these points are enough to buy three units.
More than just getting rich, this is simply getting rich!
"You want a lot. It seems like you are planning to do a big business?"
Having seen the products on the Xiyou sales list, Sumo would naturally not be ecstatic about more than 10,000 points at this time.
He glanced at the anxiety on Catwoman's face, and then said in a deep voice:
"You can also do business on the human side, but I don't want to hear you selling it at a high price."
"I understand, we understand!"
Abe nodded repeatedly, and the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
What he was most worried about before coming was that Somo would not allow them to sell fresh water to humans, or that they would have to sell it at cost price.
As a result, the sales crowd suddenly shrunk several times, making it difficult to clear the goods and raise funds in a short time.
But now I just say that I can’t sell it at a high price.
Even if you don’t sell it at the original price of 100, but only sell it for 80, or even 70, you will still make a profit!
"very good."
"Qi Jie, go get them water."
After turning around and giving instructions, Sumo did not choose to have too much contact with other aliens.
First, because the audience above is still watching, there is no problem with the transaction between the human Su Shen and the foreign race, but too close contact will inevitably cause unnecessary criticism and pressure from public opinion.
Second, the harvest from this transaction has been sufficient, and a stable scale and group have been formed. With Abe's cleverness, he can easily maintain the business as long as he develops step by step.
As for selling to aliens or humans, this Somo didn't care.
They are all contestants who have been eliminated, and they will not die in the main game.
He had no obligation to help everyone walk to Kirishima. The important thing was to earn more points as quickly as possible.
"Fourteen thousand points, a total of one hundred and forty liters of fresh water."
"A bucket here is thirty liters. The bucket is given to you, but you have to carry it yourself."
Twenty liters have been used to fill all the empty bottles, and the remaining four barrels can only be carried by the aliens themselves.
Qi Jie originally thought that these strange humanoid alien races would make a noise for a while and allocate their transportation capacity.
However, what was surprising was that one of the aliens who looked like a fox came up and gently touched the barrel, and the originally huge barrel shrunk to one-third in an instant.
Then several strong and powerful aliens stepped forward and easily picked up the bucket.
"This ability is really..."
Qi Jie stared at it and couldn't help but feel envious for a moment.
But when I turned around and saw the studio not far away, this trace of envy quickly faded away.
It is true that aliens have this magical ability, but humans also have similar methods.
Perhaps in their eyes, this studio, big or small, is not magical.
Soon, the transaction was completed.
The points in the manual increased by 17,000, bringing the total to 24,500!
Watching all the aliens leave excitedly, Sumo suppressed his excitement and strode back to the studio.
The most difficult part of starting a multiplayer competitive game from scratch is the accumulation of original funds.
Taking ordinary contestants as an example, even if the points in their hands are doubled or tripled, they are only just over a thousand.
But now that I have more than 20,000 points, doubling it is 20,000, which is really an exaggeration.
"We have a large-scale trading partner and the initial funds have been in place. The only thing left to do is to earn more points and enter the finals."
"As for the points, I can let Qi Jie do it for me. My goal is to win the championship!"
Somo thought secretly and let out a long breath, taking away all the depression in his chest.
Although we haven’t reached the next terrain yet, judging from the current progress, the finals are already a sure bet!
On the seventh day of the race, the sandstorm ended.
The sky has not yet turned white.
The centaur Barry came in a hurry again with several strong and strong foreigners, fearing that he would miss the last chance to purchase goods in the Earth Fire Desert.
Judging from the uncontrollable joy on several people's faces, Su Mo knew that yesterday's trading volume might have been quite good.
But after receiving the order, I was still inevitably shocked.
"Thirty-two thousand cents? Are all the fresh water and food you bought yesterday sold out?"
Faced with Somo's doubts, Barry's smile did not diminish.
After a few days of familiarity, he already knew that this human Soma was not as scary as the rumors.
In other words, as long as this murderer is not provoked, there will be no problem with normal communication.
And this is why Catwoman Abe is willing to let him bring people over to buy goods.
"Dear human lord Sumo, your goods are very popular and were sold out yesterday afternoon."
"Don't worry, we haven't violated the rules. The fresh water we sell to humans only costs 70 points a bottle."
Purchased at noon and sold out in the afternoon.
For 140 liters of water, even at the price of 70 points/500ml, the turnover is as high as 19,600 points.
Compared with the purchase price, there is a profit of 5,600 points.
According to the average distribution among the 42 aliens present yesterday, each person can get 133 points.
In addition, the food is also calculated based on 20% profit, and the points received by each person should be about 150 points.
This is no small sum!
If you complete the daily tasks of the game step by step, it will take three to four days to accumulate.
But now it’s just one round of trading, and you have this income.
And the most important thing is that there is no need to worry about selling this product at all, and there are a lot of people who are looking to buy with points and are still waiting.
Therefore, the trading alliance led by Catwoman Abe expanded its scale again.
In one breath, the number of people was raised to sixty, and an even larger sum of money was immediately absorbed!
"Twenty-two thousand cents for fresh water, leaving 10,000 cents for food!"
"no problem."
After thinking about the inventory in the studio, Sumo nodded slightly.
If you didn't stop to charge the decomposer yesterday, it will decompose, purify fresh water and generate raw materials throughout the day.
Now this huge order may take half a day to produce to make up for the gap.
But after staying for one day, the amount of purified water stored in the studio now exceeds 400 liters.
Taking out two hundred and twenty liters for trading is no problem at all.
As for food, it is even more abundant. Any plant in the desert can be decomposed into carbohydrates to synthesize flour.
Even if nearly five hundred noodle pancakes emptied his inventory at one time, Sumo was not worried at all about the lack of food in the future.
"Honorable human lord Mr. Sumo, thank you for your generosity!"
After counting the number of transactions, Barry happily transferred all the points in the booklet without feeling any distress.
Just from fresh water, today’s profit will exceed 8,800 points!
Coupled with these popular foods, it is certain that the turnover will exceed the 40,000 mark.
After this round, the income is nearly 15,000 points.
Even if the number of people in the alliance has increased to 60, each person can still be allocated 250 points!
Coupled with the gains from daily tasks on weekdays, maybe you can actually accumulate a few 5,000 points before leaving the main game.
Buy a few precious "Bloodline Evolution Pills" from merchants to greatly increase your strength and potential!
"If all goes well, I'll stay at the exit of the terrain for a day or two."
"clear."
Still using the magical shrinking technique, Barry quickly took the people away after carrying the shrunken supplies on his back.
Looking at the number on the manual, it is now as high as 56585.
Su Mo laughed dumbly, but his heart was no longer as excited as when he got a large amount of points yesterday.
Once you have the first funding, the rest of the snowballing is a matter of course.
As long as this business can be maintained for a few times, the number of points can easily exceed one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.
In the future, if similar profit-making points can be found in the next terrain, it would not be unusual to earn a million points in one race.
"If I were to see that rare sales list again now, would I buy the Qi Master route?"
There was a strange color in Sumo's eyes, and a special impulse suddenly arose in his heart.
Authority is authority, power is power.
As a native Chinese, it must be a lie not to be tempted by such legendary things.
And if you can get the Qi Master route and combine it with infinite energy, what will be the result?
"I don't want to think about it anymore. If we meet again next time, we'll talk about it."
It's definitely not feasible to go back to the merchants to refresh and try your luck. The route is not important to that point yet.
Sumo quickly put this newly raised thought behind him and began to make arrangements for the final stretch of the attack in the Earth Fire Desert.
First, I repaired a few sandboards and replaced them with collected materials. It only cost 9 points, which was an unexpected surprise.
Furthermore, the prototype truck frame that was roughly built yesterday was all put into the studio.
Counting fresh water and collected plants, the studio issued a warning about excessive weight.
In order not to affect his actions during the day, Sumo had to spend another fifty points to upgrade the studio's storage module, increasing its maximum storage capacity to one thousand two hundred kilograms.
But correspondingly, the weight when fully loaded also reaches 120 kilograms.
"Just let me carry it. It doesn't matter. Our migration before was much more difficult than this!"
After eating and drinking, Qi Jie weighed it up and carried the large module behind his back without any explanation.
Ever since he became a lord and met all kinds of people, Sumo rarely had any appreciation for ordinary people.
It’s not that it’s hard to get in touch with these people because of your high status.
But after seeing too many powerful people, my horizons have improved too much.
But now, Qi Jie's performance made him shine, and he saw some qualities that ordinary people can possess independently of geniuses.
"Perhaps there are many people like Qi Jie in the territory, but we just lack a channel to discover them."
"Yuansheng Qiao's suggestion is correct. Management talents must be cultivated from the basics."
Keeping this in mind, Sumo decided to start the first talent promotion meeting after returning to the territory.
Just as the territory continued to expand, there was a gap in management talents.
Screening out a wave of people with good character and adding them will definitely increase the speed of expansion by a few points.
And now.
Even though Qi Jie looked like he was taking care of everything, Su Mo was not willing to put all his courage on him alone.
After paying some material costs, Guan Mao and Zhang Jun happily accepted this not-so-hard moving job.
Coming out along the oasis, the group of people figured out the direction and set off again.
Because of the rolling volcanoes, the effectiveness of the windsurfing board increased again.
Before noon, we arrived at the fifth and final stage of the Earth Fire Desert.
"Going out soon!"
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking toward the exit, you can already see that the sky in the distance is no longer as monotonous as in the desert.
Those yellows also seemed to have a break at the end, disappearing suddenly on the ground.
Compared with the previous stages, the number of oases in the fifth stage has increased dramatically.
Just within the reach of the naked eye, Somo saw no less than three places, and their sizes were much larger than those in the fourth stage.
only.
Go to the nearest oasis and take a look. The fresh water inside is still a formidable geofire spring.
And as it gets closer to the exit of the desert, the side effects of the Earth Fire Spring also change from small to medium.
"It seems that the fresh water business can continue."
Sumo raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect that even though the game had already been exported, there was no water replenishment set up.
Could it be that the next terrain is still short of water?
"Rest, we will continue our journey in half an hour."
Eat, drink water, and take a nap.
After getting used to it in the desert for a few days, even Xi Ruyue has adapted to such a high-intensity journey.
Without too much delay, everyone knew that they could have a good sleep at the exit at night.
So after a simple trimming, I put on the sandboard again and set off.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the exit of the Earth Fire Desert.
"The second terrain is... canyon?"
"Is there a plain beyond?"
Climb high and look into the distance, looking at the straight cracks in the ground in the distance and the crisp green extending forward behind.
Sumo couldn't help but feel surprised.
Although he guessed that the difficulty of the Earth Fire Desert might be at the forefront of the nine terrains, he did not expect that the game would actually provide two terrains with similar benefits after the desert.
This canyon is only a dozen kilometers long at most, and the contestants can walk out of it in a few hours with their own strength.
As for the plains, I can’t see too many details in the deeper areas.
But at the exit of the canyon, where it borders the plain, Somo could still see many fruit trees laden with red fruits standing on the ground.
The lush greenery, red and green, makes people secrete a sour water in their mouths.
"Great, we're finally out of this damn desert!"
"Lord Su, why don't we work hard together and walk to the plain today and then rest?"
Zhang Jun and Guan Mao couldn't help but raise their arms and cheer, their eyes full of joy that they were about to escape the sea of suffering.
Xi Ruyue, who pursed her lips, also wiped her face covered in sweat and ash, and couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.
too bitter!
Excluding the two days of rest, they spent five days trekking 600 kilometers in this damn earth-fire desert!
Even if you think about it afterwards, even if you suddenly dream about it, it can definitely be regarded as a nightmare.
Of course, this is still the case when encountering Somo.
If a person were walking alone in this desert, the three of them looked at each other with happiness in their eyes.
"Let's go and rest in the oasis over there. There seem to be businessmen at the dividing line. Let's go and take a look."
After descending the last volcano, we were less than ten kilometers away from the dividing line.
Within this distance, the game does not set up other difficulties, but instead sets up a huge oasis.
Two kilometers further from the oasis, there is the dividing line. Once you step into it, you will enter the canyon.
However, the moment the five people arrived at the oasis, all the manuals in their arms shook.
Take it out, the page will turn automatically, and new text will appear.
[Congratulations to player 'Suma' for successfully crossing the main race terrain 'Earth Fire Desert']
[Congratulations to player 'Suma' for successfully completing the challenge mission 'Desert Warrior']

[5. Merchant Coupon (30%, can be deducted up to 1,000 points; not tradable)]
"Sixteenth place?"
The surprise was not the first one. After thinking about it, Sumo understood the reason.
I'm afraid it was because of the two days' rest that a lot of time was wasted in between, which led to someone getting there first.
But looking at the current reward, Sumo didn't think Number One could give him anything good.
"I choose No. 1 and No. 5."
Needless to say, food and fresh water, three hundred points are not attractive now.
Sumo made a choice, and the manual trembled again, automatically turning to the blank page at the back.
Similar to the prompt game in Earth Fire Desert, lines of text begin to display.
[Terrain: Rolling Stone Canyon (Difficulty: Four Stars)]
