Chapter 261 [Financial Street]
“At this stage, most of the [Blood Sacrifice Colosseum] have either been destroyed or been pulled into hubs that are not connected to the main world; in some hubs Among the regions, the [Blood Sacrifice Colosseum] has also been legalized, and the hub [Smoke-free City] in Reykjavik is one of the legalized places.”
Tours said to Zhou Wei. Daolai, tell the history about [Blood Sacrifice Colosseum].
“The Colosseum in [Smoke-free Arena] is a legal area. Reykjavik is located in the northern section of the Sea of Chaos, where pirates appear all year round, and there is a [Ghost Ship] as a An extraordinary team of mounts; among the four oceans of the Sea of Chaos, the northern part of the Western Ocean is the hunting ground for the pirates from Reykjavik, and they are also the difficulties faced by the countries of Terra in opening up new sea routes.”
Speaking of this, Tours seemed to think of an article he had read earlier about the extraordinary power of Reykjavik by [The Wand Man]. According to reports, Reykjavik’s local [Berserkers] and [Sea Fighters] Warriors] love traveling and practicing, and the [Blood Sacrifice Colosseum] that exists in their native land is a place where they use to hone their martial arts skills. Most qualified [Berserkers] can pass the trial of the Colosseum with their strong personal will. Those who failed to pass the test basically failed.
For the locals of [Smokeless City], the Colosseum is just a place for training, so they will not repair it or operate it specifically, but for other ancient magicians, members of the abnormal lineage, and others who were expelled to the hub by the Kingdom of Heaven, For non-human and extraordinary species, the Colosseum is a 'commercial place' worth operating.
These prodigal dogs of this world imitate the society, economy, and culture of this new era, and have established a so-called [Business Federation] to divide the power of the hub with a structure similar to that of a modern company. .
Of course, these imitations are inseparable from the instigation of the technology startup companies in the Edici Federation. Edici loves systematizing economic operations. This is related to the extraordinary pedigree of their own country. Edici’s Genealogies require [value], and their genealogies can conceptualize [value].
Adici's [Miracle Creation·Financial Street] is the most complex existence and structural machine in the world. The projection of [Financial Street] is all over Terra, and even some financial institutions within the Kingdom of Heaven have been conceptualized by it. Influence, the reason why [currency] in this world can be allocated with resources in the extraordinary world is the influence of [Financial Street].
Whether it is a normal lineage or an abnormal lineage, there was no [Overclocking] option before. However, since the emergence of [Financial Street], whether it is Heaven or Sark, [Overclocking] has begun to appear. The emergence of the concept has enabled more efficient application of lineage resource calls, and the power of transmission and sharing from the upper class to the next class has been expanded.
Of course, the abnormal lineage [overclocking] headed by Sarkans is a very wronged species.
[Financial Street]: One of the core energy resources and calculations of Edici's lineage, and one of the anomalies that Heaven most wants to contain.
“If I remember correctly, 45% of the industry in [Smoking Free City] belongs to [Camel Alliance], and the organizer of the annual quarterly competition in [Blood Sacrifice Colosseum] there is also [Camel Alliance] ]·········”
The more Tours talked, the more he felt something was wrong. Could it be... It seems that the battle is about to begin. If you have paid attention to the "Edici-Financial Capital Times" and "The First Quarter Extraordinary Resources Financial Report of the Wand Man Terra Kingdom", you will find that there is a problem with the revenue in the hub area, especially Coastal countries. In order to obtain the conceptual blessing and genealogy computing resources of [Financial Street], many companies in the [Business Federation] will choose to be listed on Terra’s international market and integrate into Terra’s huge financial system.”
Xia Xiu confirmed Turs's guess with a bright smile on his face. He continued to say to Turs:
"The preview of [The Crimson King] has made all the extraordinary forces panic. Now that the interpretation has begun, many extraordinary forces have taken control measures. The [Business Federation]'s external revenue has fallen into a contraction mode since the end of last year. After growing by 9.7% in the first half of the year, it fell by 1% in the second half. This trend accelerated in the first quarter of this year. According to the latest financial report released by the Federation last week, revenue fell by 3.6% in the first three months of this year, with a loss of approximately 1.02 billion US dollars.
Their business share of each hub fell by 6.2%. %, and [Smoke-free City]’s market accounts for about one-eighth of its business.
If the extraordinary forces exhausted by the interpretation return to daily life, leading to an increase in entertainment demand, then now. The decline in stage share is not a big impact, because the Colosseum is one of the biggest costs of the [Business Federation], and those blood-loving aliens like to watch humans fight, and they have more in their hands. It's money.
However, it is worth noting that after the sharp surge at the beginning of the [Proxy War], the situation in various places began to become more delicate, and there were rumors that Oletin and Daeva were going to fight. People in these hubs are afraid that the local forces will unite with the Kingdom of Heaven to conduct internal purification before the war begins. After all, the most likely place for the Leading Party to appear is the hub.”
After Turs listened to the words of the blond young man in front of him, he understood something instantly. The economic downturn was nothing to the extraordinary people who had their own great power, but to the [Secret Alliance] who were part of the [Business Federation] , for forces like them in [Financial Street], lack of money really costs them half their life.
In order to be able to construct the [Pseudo Genealogy Network], these vampires invested a lot of resources in [Financial Street].
For example, a wild [Master] (without the blessing of the lineage, the incarnation of the master is cultivated through ancient cultivation methods) can be bound to [Financial Street] through an extraordinary contract and sell his power, [ Financial Street] will run through the seven levels of the [Ether Ocean], quantify the power of these sales, and then twist it into a [currency] concept similar to the real world. This represents that the currency issued by the Edici Federation is also a currency. It is an extraordinary medium, and the American dollar can be exchanged with the central currency and other currencies.
The concept of listing is also feasible in [Financial Street]. The power of quantification can be turned into [extraordinary securities], and [extraordinary securities] can be bought and sold in the open market of [Financial Street]. They are the same as current securities. Different approaches but similar results.
Tulse stayed away from [Financial Street]. This thing was more evil than the evil god. There were countless extraordinary people who signed the contract of betrayal with Edici. Those who didn't sign were directly used as engines, day and night. Contribute to the operation of [Financial Street].
Although there are [Financial Streets] such as Youyang, Diva, Oletin, etc., they have also established [Risk Control Agencies] themselves. These institutions are responsible for controlling the local operations of [Financial Streets]. This is why there are many financial streets in the market. There is less news about [Financial Street] because [Risk Control Agency] controls it.
Moreover, [Financial Street] relies heavily on [official certification]. Although it can be forced into various countries and regions, if it is not certified, it will appear very sluggish and useless. For example, the interior of the Kingdom of Heaven will be A [Financial Street] was blocked, but Heavenly Kingdom’s resource operation and [Central Containment Room] quickly cleared it.
Because of the existence of Boss Eden, Xia Xiu has never been found by [Financial Street]. Even if he speculates in stocks and plays with the market in this world, [Financial Street] still remains motionless. After all, it is also Understand that it is not a matter of a day or two for the Kingdom of Heaven to set its sights on it.
[Financial Street] is not a game that can be played by individuals. It is a new type of extraordinary checks and balances played by a group of big forces. The storm here is very big.
Since the emergence of the deduction, [Financial Street] in various regions has begun to experience a period of sluggish operation. This is an economic crisis brought by a god, not only for the world, but also for the extraordinary economy. A blow.
"[The Secret Alliance] is now the yellow card of the red side. In other words, they want to make a fortune from the interpretation of Dafa [Financial Street], so now in the [Smoke-free City], there must be a large number of vampires with [Vampire Arms] gathered , only they have the right to legally act in the interpretation," Tours said in a deep voice.
[Business Federation] is unlucky, does not mean [Secret Alliance] is unlucky. They may be eating hot pot, singing little songs, waiting to make a fortune.
“This [Smokeless City] second quarter Colosseum competition is hosted by Bruch, one of the thirteen clans. These greedy vampires not only want to discover the [Crimson King] Wealth, but also want to develop the wealth of [Ether Monarch]; in past games, [Secret Alliance] was only responsible for repairing the Colosseum to ensure that the gifts of the Colosseum could continue to operate, and they also used this to charge high amounts of money. Tournament fees and other miscellaneous expenses.”
A smile with a hint of fun appeared on the corner of the blond young man’s mouth.
When Tours and Zhou Zhou looked at this smile, they knew that someone else... the vampire was going to be unlucky.
"And this time, these proud men who have obtained [Vampire Arms] will compete to participate in the Colosseum competition. Because they are performers of interpretation, their opponents can more or less sense the [Supreme Divinity] ] exists—the characters in the script must be defeated by the characters in the script or dealt with after the performance is over.”
Starting from the first performance, Xia Xiu didn’t know how many places he blew up and how many buildings he destroyed during his rampage. Someone came out to teach him a lesson. They relied on the protection of the [Crimson King]. Anyone who performs the performance now has to say bad luck to anyone who sees it.
Now that vampires have become performers, they will naturally straighten their backs and start doing things. If they were not afraid of liquidation afterwards, he estimated that these vampires might be more high-profile. "I probably understand what you two mean. The three of us are going to the Colosseum to be gladiators next, right?"
Xia Xiu and Tur were listening to the sidelines. Si interjected during the week of his speech.
"Yes, but everyone does not need to participate. I need to assign everyone's tasks. This time [Smoke-free City] estimates that there are more than four holders of [Vampire Arms], three to four or five. It’s a little difficult for us.”
While answering the week’s questions, Xia Xiu stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Turs subconsciously said:
"Is there another unlucky guy who is going to be dragged on board?"
"What unlucky guy? , you should say he is a confused person, I just give the confused people a little guidance on life planning.”
In response to Tours' slander, the blond young man raised his eyebrows displeased, and then his golden eyes glanced up and down at Tours.
"The Colosseum seems to have height requirements. Humans under 178 are not eligible to participate."
"········"
Xia Xiu This sentence is true. The main reason is that he is too short to play the game and is not interesting enough to watch. Moreover, [Kahn]'s aesthetics are not as high as [Sales], and he is not as tolerant as [Naige]. He likes bigness, and the bigger the better; those dwarves who believe in Him, as long as they receive His gift, all without exception become bearded men over 180 meters tall.
“I have already bought the ticket to Reykjavik. The ticket I bought is from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce also has a close relationship with pirates, so there is a high probability that buying their ticket will be fine. ”
After Xia Xiu finished speaking, he took out two ferry tickets, handed one to Tours and the other to Zhou Zhou.
The two of them took the ticket handed over by Xia Xiu. On the surface of the ticket was engraved a big ball, and a huge ship sailed on the ball.
The boat ride is this afternoon, which is two hours later.
"It's still early, Zhou Zhou, go take a shower and don't stink." Xia Xiu specially told Zhou Zhou after giving him the boat ticket.
One week: "········"
The reason why I am so dirty is not because of you.
"Tulsi, if you have anything else to explain to the people in the reserve, please tell them quickly."
"I know." Tuosi understood. replied.
“Because we have to sail in the Sea of Chaos, it is estimated that it will take three days to get there.”
The blond young man finally explained some details to the two of them, and after the explanation, Xia Xiu took the smelly Zhou Zhi to the temporary residence to take a shower, while Tours went to the protected area first.
Two hours later.
A3 hub·inter-regional port.
"Woo——"
The light shines on the sparkling sea, and the sea breeze blows slightly, carrying the smell of salty sea water.
The port is bustling with people and non-humans boarding ships. The traffic in coastal hub areas is denser than hubs in inland areas. In addition to the small jurisdiction of coastal areas, and the [Financial Street] in coastal areas There are also few regulations, so there are many extraordinary merchants coming and going.
At this time, there was a ship docked in front.
It was a huge ship. The hull was painted brightly, and several decks were neatly arranged. It gave off a solemn and spectacular aura.
The preparations were completed, and people retreated to the safe area of the pier. Xia Xiu took Zhou Zhou and Tours onto the ship. The short Tours was sitting on Zhou Zhou's broad shoulders. As for him Why not sit on Xia Xiu? Needless to say.
“Woooooo————”
Not long after the three people boarded the boat, a deep and powerful whistle sounded through the sky, like a symphony of departure, which aroused people’s attention. A burst of cheers.
This is a signal that the ship is about to depart.
As the whistle sounded, the huge propeller began to rotate, and foam splashed from both sides of the hull, glowing with silver.
The big ship slowly sailed out of the port, cutting through the quiet sea, all the way forward, heading for the unknown in the distance. The passengers on the ship stood on the deck, looking at the increasingly smaller port, facing Overflowing with expectation and excitement.
The blond young man glanced at the crowd silently against the sea breeze, then turned around and walked into the cabin with Zhou Zhou and Tours.
