I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 785 - 553 Dwarf Clan Arrives at the Trading Market_3
Chapter 785 -553 Dwarf Clan Arrives at the Trading Market_3
The Great Scholar who had been advancing in the trading market said, “The penetration of Green Grass Coin is continuously increasing. This currency can buy high-quality living supplies and is gradually being promoted.”
“Currently, there are over 200 billion Green Coins circulating in the market, and it will continue to increase in the future.”
“However, the trade related to ‘Spirit Essence’ is growing much slower than Green Grass Coin, only increasing by 50% compared to the same period last year.”
“There is even less trade in Civilization Points. Basically, a few human cities ordered several Floating Fortresses. Of course, there might be some undisclosed data, but overall not much…”
“Most civilizations are here just to work, and civilization trade is still in a wait-and-see state.”
This explanation made Wulan City, which had placed heavy bets, a bit nervous.
The proper civilization trade has yet to skyrocket. Did they buy those Floating Fortresses for nothing? They were hoping to earn money by transporting goods.
“To reverse this situation, a catalyst is needed,” the Great Scholar said. “Civilization Points and Spirit Essence are good things. Everyone is holding them, waiting for the right price… After all, there are two strong civilizations vying for them.”
At this moment, urgent knocking was heard at the door, “Dong~ dong dong!”
The City Lord’s brows furrowed, “What’s the matter?”
It was a scout soldier, looking a bit nervous. He trotted over and whispered a few words into Ta Gang’s ear.
“My Lord, the Dwarf Clan’s fleet is flying over from the east… In total, 4 Floating Fortresses. They want to rent some land to dock on the vacant ground near my city.”
“The scale of those fortresses is enormous, conservatively estimated to carry 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers.”
“What?!” Ta Gang’s face changed dramatically, his heart pounding rapidly.
The nobles in the room also widened their pupils and held their breath.
They deeply understood what the arrival of the Dwarf Clan meant…
This is a clash between old and new!
It is the struggle for the highest interests in the Northern Territory!
“If it withstands, the future of the trading market will be smooth sailing!”
“If not, it will plummet, never to rise again.”
Everyone began to pray deeply in their hearts.
Until now, they didn’t know the true strength of Green Grass City, nor did they know the strength of the Dwarf Clan. As these two behemoths clashed in the deep sea, they, these little fish and shrimps, could only go with the flow and pray that the waves would be slightly smaller and not capsize their small boats.
Not everyone lost their cool; Ta Gang took a deep breath. They were on a unified front with the Lücao Trading Market, but the Dwarf Clan evidently wouldn’t trouble this bunch of small fry.
“Let the Dwarf Clan’s Floating Fortresses dock on the north vacant ground… Let’s go, let’s greet them personally!”
Everyone put on their best armor, donned their hats, polished their shoes to a shine, and walked out of the room with a “click-click-click” sound.
By this time, the entire service area had heard the news, and the fervent discussions were as noisy as boiling water.
Most races were watching with the “not afraid of a big funeral” mentality, eager for both sides to fight fiercely.
This was the greatest event in the Northern Territory of the Ninth Epoch!
There were also some who were ill-intentioned, watching Ta Gang and others with schadenfreude.
See, usually making lots of money, you’re bound to get entangled in some cause and effect. Now you’ve got trouble!
“Call Green Grass City,” Ta Gang was busy instructing his subordinates and then straightened his chest.
The dense fog in the clouds gradually cleared, revealing the colossal object behind—a massive, ancient-looking, and majestic oval-shaped giant spaceship. Its surface material was concrete, with engravings that were simple and understated. The surrounding air automatically cleared, and the black cannon muzzles hinted at terrifying destructive power.
The largest Floating Fortress had a diameter of over 3 kilometers. The flag on the mast depicted the image of a volcano, a row of flags fluttering in the wind.
The smallest one, with a depth of 2 kilometers, had a tonnage of 20 million tons. This kind of war machine could only be built by a technological civilization.
A few giant gears turned slowly around the fortress, emitting surging energy.
They were not just ornaments but the power units of the Floating Fortresses.
“4 Floating Fortresses have arrived here!”
A man’s name, a tree’s shadow.
The Dwarf Clan, after accumulating power for hundreds of years, dispatching such a grand fleet is unprecedented, indicating their importance to the Lücao Trading Market.
Ta Gang rode a double-horned horse to the suburbs, staring at the sky motionlessly, ignoring the shadow of the fleet enveloping him. The muscles on his face were tense like the hardest steel: “Has the phone call to Green Grass City been connected?”
“Connected. They told us to treat them well, not to be too nervous, just treat them as ordinary guests.”
Ta Gang was startled by this remark, and couldn’t help but complain, “They seem rather at ease, leaving all the pressure to us…”
The Dwarf Clan, by stopping the fleet at Wulan City, left room for maneuver.
The tearing of small fish and shrimp is a matter of life and death, leading to ethnic extinction wars.
But among the giant behemoths, knowing it’s not easy to destroy each other, they often maintain necessary dignity.
The Great Scholar added: “Green Grass City said: if the Dwarf Clan wants to gamble, they will accompany, no matter the content, no matter the domain, they can compete.”
“So confident?” Ta Gang’s face twitched twice, wondering if it was to stabilize the morale or if they truly had some strength.
Soon, those four fortresses slowly landed on the ground, without causing a shock, only a dust storm stirred by the violent gust.
The cabin door opened, and a group of dwarfs dressed in golden armor emerged, holding rune rifles in their left hand and square shields in their right. Just this outfit alone would be the entire wealth of many weak races!
But these were still just soldiers; they lined up in two columns, standing like statues.
After a while, several leaders finally walked out slowly from the fortress.
The leader, a Storm Dwarf, wearing a red scale armor, was the famous Fire Scale Armor, a high-end luxury item, only with warmth function—but only a powerful race capable of cultivating anomalies could produce such luxurious clothing.
“This is the Council President of the Dwarf Clan, Lord Stormbrew.” The Great Scholar whispered in Ta Gang’s ear, “I’ve seen his portrait.”
Such level leaders are generally strong, with long life cycles, their appearance basically unchanged.
Council President Stormbrew turned his head, inviting the elders behind him to come out of the floating fortress’s gate.
“Who are these old men? They seem to have high status.” Ta Gang was a bit nervous, constantly breathing in and out, in and out.
“I don’t know, looking at the Council President’s respectful appearance… could they be Strange Ancient People?” The student rubbed his chin, feeling somewhat suspicious.
The Dwarf Clan has revealed all its heritage!
In the past, strangers were basically not revealed. Apparently, they were reluctant to lower themselves to suppress juniors.
But this time, even strangers from the Eighth Epoch appeared to suppress Green Grass City!
“How can this be compared? They’ve developed an extra Epoch worth of time!”
Leaders of the Wulan Clan felt a suffocating sense in their hearts.
But now, unable to back down, they could only brace themselves. Seeing the guests walking out, Ta Gang stepped forward, shaking hands with the Dwarf Clan’s “Stormbrew.”
“I am Ta Gang, the City Lord of Wulan City.”
“Hello, City Lord, sorry for the disturbance.”
“Numerous guests from the Dwarf Civilization visited, truly bringing glory to our small city. Come, this way, here is our established trading area.”
“See, this castle is our office hall. This is the circular arena, where guests occasionally spar. It doesn’t count as gambling combat, but friendly exchanges.”
“Unfortunately, our tavern can accommodate only a limited number, unable to host so many people, haha…”
Ta Gang, after all, has seen the world, spewing a series of pleasantries.
The dwarfs on the other side naturally wouldn’t give small trouble, but rather introduced themselves: “I am the Council President of the Dwarf Civilization, Stormbrew. This is our civilization’s Clan Elder, Lord Rock Fist·Deep Furnace, from the Eighth Epoch, a great Master Craftsman, once forged Immortal Level equipment.”
“And this one is also a Strange Ancient Person, skilled in mechanical manufacturing and engraving, is our teacher…”
Other representatives of civilizations also secretly eavesdropped behind.
Strange Ancient People! Living Master Craftsmen!
It was their first time seeing so many Strange Ancient People.
Though their appearance wasn’t striking, nor stature high, just one title was enough to keep surrounding alien races silent, even breathing dared not be loud.
“The great calamity of Lücao Trading Market has arrived!”
