This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 229 Auction, Market Barriers, Islanders!
A large number of Maplewood City players gathered in the Cattail Tavern.

With so many players coming, some of them exceeded Ji Chen's expectations.

After inquiring, it was known that all the mountain trolls retreated and retreated back into the Alvin Mountains.

This is undoubtedly the credit for the previous actions against the fraudsters. Without the assistance of the fraudsters, the mountain trolls were no match for the Maplewood Principality and the elves. They were driven around by the airship fleet and the ground, causing countless casualties.

Therefore, he retreated decisively and became a tortoise.

Seeing this, the Fenglin Principality and the elves did not pursue any more, but also chose to retreat to end the war.

The war was over, and the players who went out also chose to return to rest after getting paid, which happened to coincide with the auction, so there were extraordinarily many players.

Due to the large number of players, Luo Yang had to temporarily change the location of the auction from the Cattail Tavern to an outside street.

A wooden platform was set up on the street as an auction table, and hundreds of wooden chairs were placed in front of it. It was as simple as possible, but this could not stop the high enthusiasm of sand sculpture players.

The street hills, the houses on both sides, and the roofs are crowded with players.

With so many people gathered here, some players keenly sensed business opportunities, and immediately sat down on the spot and started to set up stalls, shouting and shouting, and the sound of cursing suddenly sounded.

The originally quiet Black Gold Square suddenly became one of the busiest places in Fenglin City. This formation attracted all the soldiers patrolling nearby. Seeing the scene of the vegetable market even worse than the vegetable market, they all felt a little contemptuous. Looking at this group of honor lords.

I thought to myself that he really came from the countryside, how decent is this appearance?
They scolded them, but they still performed their duties and stationed nearby, watching them eagerly to prevent any moths from appearing.

A street-facing room on the third floor of Cattail Tavern.

Ji Chen sat on the sofa, looking through the glass at the bustling street outside.

Holding a glass of wine in his hand, he took a sip slowly.

At this time, there was a sound of slightly hurried footsteps outside the door.

The door was knocked lightly.

"Master Zhao, it's me."

It's Luo Yang.

"Come in." Ji Chen said unhurriedly, the door was opened, Luo Yang walked in with some anxiety on his face, closed the door gently and walked over.

The tone was a little anxious.

"Now the players have almost arrived, but the auction items seem to have not arrived yet. If this continues, they may have opinions."

Ji Chen glanced at him and said lightly.

"Don't worry, things will arrive soon."

Seeing the indifference on Ji Chen's face, Luo Yang felt a little relieved.

"What happened to what I asked you to do earlier?"

"The shop facing the street has already started to be renovated, and it will be put into use soon, but excuse me, what are you going to use that shop for?"

According to what Luo Yang knew, Ji Chen seemed to bring only a few specialties from the territory, such as precious forest trees, golden perch, premium coffee beans, weapons and equipment, and the never-before-seen crocodile.

These special products are precious enough, but they seem to have reached a long-term agreement with the merchants and elves in Maplewood City, so they are not suitable for sale in shops.

Do you want to sell some common supplies?

In terms of income, if the store in such a good location sells some common supplies, it would be better to rent it out directly, so as to have a relatively stable income, and selling common supplies will only lose money.

"We sell wine."

This is what Ji Chen had already thought about. The market for wine is very broad.

The talent he found among the refugees, Lysa, is a very talented winemaker who can produce high-quality wine, so he will naturally not let go of such a highly profitable product.

Sell ​​wine?

Luo Yang hesitated, but still said.

"Master Zhao, wine is something that cannot be sold casually in the Fenglin Principality."

This remark made Ji Chen puzzled, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple. If you want to produce and sell wine in Blue Star, you must obtain a series of certificates before you are eligible for sales. It's similar here."

"But the problem is that it is not an easy thing to obtain sales qualifications here."

"The Principality of Fenglin is located by the sea, and the climate and soil are very suitable for growing grapes, so a large amount of wine is produced."

"As for things like wine, you also know that the profit is enough to make any businessman envious, so some dignitaries in the Fenglin Principality have united and only issued wine sales licenses to a very small number of people who are with them.
And other liquor merchants can’t get licenses at all, so naturally they can’t sell alcohol, and even foreign wines are not allowed to enter the domestic market.”

Ji Chen frowned, isn't this just trade barriers and market access?

Through the official right to prevent other wine from entering, so as to achieve the effect of monopoly.

Previously, the special products brought by the Crown of the Ocean were all lacking in the Principality of Fenglin, so naturally there would be no conflict of interest with it, but it was hard to say about goods like wine.

This is a question worth considering.

Ji Chen thought about it, and felt that he needed to find out about this matter with a businessman like Gilder.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Luo Yang nodded without further questioning, he was very clear about what to say and what not to say.

Ji Chen took this matter to heart and continued to focus on the outside.

As Luo Yang said, the gathered players discovered that the auction had not started for a long time, and began to have opinions.

"Is this auction going to be held? It's been so long and there's no sign of it. I left the time-limited task and came here."

"Mr. Zhao and Luo Yang are probably playing tricks on us? Come to a different world version of the Fenghuo drama princes?"

Seeing the players talking, Luo Yang couldn't help but look at Ji Chen again, only to find that he was still calm.

As if everything is under control.

Just as many players became more and more emotional, and some were even about to leave the field.

A team of elves suddenly appeared outside the Black Gold Workshop, leading dozens of wagons and slowly driving into the workshop, looking at many players with stern expressions.

The freight carriage was covered by a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but the long queue of dozens of carriages was quite spectacular.

At this time, Hou Lixu and Hou Lifa suddenly jumped out from that place, holding a simplified trumpet and shouting loudly.

"All the auction items in this auction are provided by the islanders!"

As soon as these words came out, the players were stunned.

Was it the Islander they thought?

As if guessing what they were thinking, Hou Lixu and the two continued to shout: "That's right, it's exactly what you think, the islander who once became famous in the secret battle of the Silver Islands and ranked at the top of the player rankings and territory rankings Boss!"

"The boss of the islander entrusted Mr. Zhao to handle this batch of auction items!"

"The quality of the items given by the islanders is absolutely guaranteed!!!"

Sand sculpture players, you look at me, I look at you, and you can see the shock in each other's eyes.

in fact.

Among the player groups in the Mediterranean and along the coast.

The name of the islander can be described as thunderous.

Let's not talk about the name that is at the top of the leaderboard and hangs high, let's talk about the impressive achievements that have been made in the past.

When the secret realm of the Silver Archipelago first appeared, he attacked multiple city gates of Blood Sea City by himself, and cooperated with the attacking players inside and outside, establishing an offensive advantage in one fell swoop.

Let the attacking player get a large number of crystals, just enough to be full.

Secondly, on King Kong Island, huge waves instantly engulfed several players who wanted to take advantage of the fire, and they were famous for their terrifying personal strength and powerful fleet strength.

These two actual combat records are enough to prove the strong strength of the islanders.

Coupled with the praise of players from the King Kong Island Player Alliance.

Especially the crazy praise of the player named I Love Heisi who is also famous on the leaderboard, praising him as No.1 in the Mediterranean, handsome and generous.

This series of factors made the Lonely Islander faintly become the existence of the so-called strongest player in the Mediterranean Ocean.

However, since King Kong Island, isolated islanders have rarely appeared in chat channels and forums, and the popularity about him has gradually decreased.

Until now.

Said that these auction items were provided by the islanders?

And it's so powerful that the elf, who always speaks with his head up, will deliver it himself?
This is too face-saving!
At this time, apart from being shocked, the player was still shocked.

Doesn't this mean that the boss of the islander has also come to the Fenglin Principality?

At this time, some players suddenly remembered that they had seen a player fighting with the commander of the elf fleet on the side of the pier before.

They remembered that the player couldn't use the system to check the information, only seeing question marks on the panel.

Among them, some players who had previously taken over the logistics tasks of the elf army also suddenly realized.

That night when they saw the elf army and soldiers from the Maplewood Principality salute a player, they were still thinking about who that player was and why they had such a good reputation.

Could that player be the islander himself?
Looking at the elves escorting the carriage, I became more and more sure.

How could the elves come to transport them themselves if they hadn't met and helped them?

Case solved!
Without anyone knowing, the islanders have already done several major things in the Fenglin Principality!
After thinking about it.

The players' emotions suddenly rose.

The resentment that had arisen from waiting for a long time before also dissipated immediately.

This is the boss of the islander, what's wrong with telling them to wait a while?
At the same time, many players are also looking around, wanting to see the rumored islander boss.

Regarding this, Hou Lixu, who had already been instructed, immediately picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "The islander boss is busy with business, so he didn't come to the scene."

"The auction starts immediately!!!"

The escorting elves also drove the carriages to the auction stand expressionlessly one by one, handed over the goods to the staff, and then dispersed in a tacit understanding, watching the surroundings, guarding the auction items, preventing some players from Sneaky.

Soon, the staff began to start the auction according to the pre-order.

A piece of treasure, a batch of war equipment, and a piece of weaponry were auctioned off.

Most of the treasures are 1 to 3 stars. Treasures of this level are nothing to Ji Chen today, but they are quite precious to other players.

In most cases, the treasures that can be obtained through commissions and tasks are basically 1-star and 2-star.

As for the 3-star treasures, most of them are opened from treasure chests, and usually only some commissions with a high risk factor can get them. If they get one, they will use it as a family heirloom.
However, there were more than ten 3-star treasures that appeared in this auction.

It is enough to intuitively explain the power of the islander, so powerful that even 3-star treasures are not in the eyes.

Those war equipments whose numbers are at least double digits, fine iron ballista, city defense ballista, artillery, just a few are enough to arm a small territory.

But here they are all auctioned in units of ten.

The cores of the recruiting battalions of various arms were randomly piled up in the box.

Boxes of potions are bundled for auction.

At this moment, these players deeply realized what it means to have no humanity.

Is the boss of the islander really so strong?

Don't even look down on these things, put them all up for auction?
"Ten fine iron bed crossbows, the starting price is two thousand gold coins!"

"I'll offer [-]!" A player who had already taken a fancy to it raised his hand and shouted.

"I offer [-]!" Another player said without showing any weakness.

"Three thousand gold coins!" A tattered player said indifferently, and immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all cursed secretly, so rich but wearing such tattered clothes, you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger! ?

Looking at the players constantly bidding for the auction, Ji Chen sighed and nodded.

Facts have proved that there are not so good players on the surface, but in fact they still have some family background. Players who know that their wealth is not exposed have understood the essence of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

After watching it for a while, he got bored.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Yang was asked to deal with the auction matters by himself, and with a thought, he took out the false mask and changed himself into a different appearance from his body and Mr. Zhao.

The body is a little shorter, the figure is a little fatter, and the appearance is also ordinary.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar self in the mirror, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Descend to the street through a private passage.

This time, not all the players came here for the auction, some just came here to set up a stall to sell something purely because of the traffic here.

On the street next to the current auction, there are stalls on both sides of the road, with messy things on them, and some players stop from time to time to ask about the items and prices.

This scene is quite market-like.

Ji Chen, who had changed his appearance, blended into the crowd silently, as if he was really an ordinary player shopping.

"The rare medicinal snow lotus from the snow-capped mountains, one flower is three hundred, and three flowers are one thousand!"

"The high-quality fine iron long knife is a good helper for you to kill people and prevent fire when the moon is dark and the wind is high."

"Silver scale breastplate, blue quality, one piece of hardware!!!"

"The core of the recruiting battalion of the second-tier army, the Forest Guard, has a total of four, 250 gold coins each, and a one-time package with a [-]% discount!"

There were endless shouts, but none of the players said it was fake, and what they shouted basically matched the item. After all, players can use the system to get the information panel of the item, and it is clear at a glance whether it is true or not.

It's fine to use it to deceive the aborigines, but isn't it free to deceive other players?

Ji Chen was looking at the flowers, and suddenly stopped, looking at a remote small stall on the corner of the street.

In his induction, there seemed to be something strange there.
