Bringing the farm to another world

Zhao Hai looked at the man with interest. He didn't sense any malice from him, so he asked curiously, "You know I just ascended to heaven. You want to trade with me? I don't seem to have anything you can use, right?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the man's eyes lit up. He felt that the chances of a successful transaction were much higher this time, and he immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to underestimate yourself. I have a list here. You can take a look. As long as you have the items on this list, we can proceed with the transaction." With that, the man moved his hand, and the next moment, a jade slip flew directly in front of Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai took the jade slip and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was just an ordinary jade slip with no hidden door inside, he then probed the jade slip with his spiritual power.

A list immediately appeared in his mind. The list was very long and contained all sorts of things. To Zhao Hai's surprise, everything from spirit stones and medicinal herbs to rare and precious treasures, minerals, pills, and cultivation techniques could be traded.

After looking at the list, Zhao Hai turned to the man and asked, "Can everything on this list be used for trade?"

The man nodded quickly and said, "Of course, everything on the list can be traded. You must have these things, right?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I do have the items on this list, but I don't know how we'll trade them? And what the price will be?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "The items on this list are all from the lower realms. Items from the lower realms are actually worthless here. However, if you only want to know information about the God Realm, it will be expensive. If you want to trade with spirit stones, I can give you the information for ten million spirit stones. If you want to trade with other materials, I can give you a discount. What do you think?"

Zhao Hai nodded, then looked at the man and said, "I still don't know your name, fellow Daoist?"

The merchant smiled and said, "It seems that you really don't know much about the God Realm. In the God Realm, no one will reveal their name, because it is very dangerous. Some people can find you directly by your name, or even curse you. So don't reveal your name easily. Here, everyone has a nickname, which is usually their divine title. I am a merchant, and you can call me the God of Trade."

Zhao Hai was taken aback, and then his expression turned somewhat gloomy. Everyone knew his name was the God of Creation and the God of the Seven Deadly Sins. Did that mean that in the future, the God of Creation and the God of the Seven Deadly Sins could attack him through curses? If that were the case, then things would be quite troublesome.

When the merchant saw Zhao Hai's appearance, he was taken aback. Then his eyes narrowed. He looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "Of course, it is not an easy thing to kill someone with a curse. Moreover, there are many ways to make a person no longer affected by the curse."

Zhao Hai glanced at the God of Trade, then said, "I want to know information about the God Realm, the more detailed the better."

The God of Trade smiled slightly and said, "No problem, one thousand spirit stones."

With a flick of his hand, Zhao Hai conjured a spatial bag, which he then tossed to the God of Trade. The God of Trade caught the bag, scanned it with his spiritual power, and then stored it away. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, "The quantity is just right." With that, he flicked his hand again, and a jade slip appeared in Zhao Hai's hand, which he then tossed to him.

After Zhao Hai received the jade slip, he scanned it with his spiritual power and found that it did indeed contain some basic information about the God Realm. Zhao Hai was relieved, but he soon discovered that there was no information about this place in the jade slip. He looked up at the God of Trade and then said, "No information about this place?"

The God of Trade smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is, but you only asked for information about the God Realm before. Those were all introductions to the basic situation of the God Realm. This is the Black Sea. If you want to understand the situation here, you need to buy information about this place separately."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist is right. What I bought before was information about the God Realm, which of course only covers the most basic situation here. It's impossible for you to give me a complete and detailed account of every place in the God Realm. Alright, then tell me, how many spirit stones do I need to buy information about this place?" The God of Trade was taken aback by Zhao Hai's words, then his eyes lit up. He carefully examined Zhao Hai and said, "Not bad, you are a very good person. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be angry by now. I have encountered too many situations like this, but you are not angry. You can still speak to me calmly. You are very good."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "I just think you did nothing wrong. I can't expect you to tell me every little detail about what's going on in the God Realm, can I? That's impossible. So, let's make a price."

The God of Trade looked at Zhao Hai, then smiled slightly and said, "Since you've been so agreeable, I'll give you the information about this place." With that, the God of Trade took out a jade slip and tossed it to Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai took the jade slip, and was taken aback. Then he looked at the God of Trade with some confusion and said, "Interesting, very interesting. I offered to pay you, but you don't want it. Can you tell me why?"

The God of Trade looked at Zhao Hai, then smiled slightly and said, "I would consider this a kind of trade. To me, the information about the Black Sea is just a piece of information that can be copied at any time. It's nothing special. But you are someone I should befriend. With your magnanimity and demeanor, you will surely become a powerful figure in the God Realm in the future. It would do me no harm to befriend someone like you, so I am willing to use this information to make you my friend."

Zhao Hai looked at the God of Trade and smiled, saying, "In the cultivation world, accidents are the most likely to happen. Although I have now arrived in the God Realm, it should be similar to the cultivation world. So, many accidents will still happen here. I'm curious, if I really have an accident in the future and don't become the expert you mentioned, then wouldn't you have lost money in this transaction?"

The God of Trade looked at Zhao Hai and smiled slightly, saying, "No, I am the God of Trade. How could I do a losing deal? What I gave you was just a piece of information that can be copied at any time. Strictly speaking, I didn't actually lose anything, so even if something unexpected happens to you in the future, I won't lose anything."

"Hahaha, good, as expected of the God of Trading, I will try my best to ensure you don't lose money."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hai used his spiritual power to directly enter the jade slip and carefully examined its contents. The jade slip provided a detailed introduction to the situation in the Black Sea.

Through this intelligence, Zhao Hai finally understood what the Black Sea was. It was actually a marketplace, a free trading place where everyone could participate. Here, regardless of your strength, you could trade. Whether you were a newcomer to the God Realm or a well-established expert, you could trade here. There was no management here, only an unwritten rule: do not fight. Fighting here could trigger a reaction from the black hole. If the black hole captured you, you wouldn't even be able to escape, and everyone would die. So, no one would fight here. Of course, there were several routes in and out, but only these routes were safe. Entering from other places could lead to encountering the black hole, and once you encountered it, you were doomed.

In the Black Sea, there are really no other rules besides not being able to fight. Everyone has just formed a tacit understanding by taking advantage of the terrain. No matter how powerful you are, if you fight here, you may be killed by the black hole. So no one dares to fight here. But once you leave here, it's a different story. Once you leave here, no one can guarantee your safety.

Zhao Hai now understood why his intuition had told him it was safe here. It was because even the God of Creation and the others wouldn't make a move here, so it was safe. Although there was no one in charge and no explicit rules against fighting here, the more unwritten the rules, the more you had to follow them. If you didn't, you would be breaking the rules, and other people who came here to trade and wanted to abide by them wouldn't agree.

Some people might say, if trading isn't allowed here, then just trade somewhere else. Why insist on sticking to this place?
The reason is actually quite simple. In the realm of gods, it is not easy to find a place like the Black Sea. In other places, there is almost nothing that can threaten the gods. Therefore, the gods have fewer concerns in other places. Without concerns, they will act recklessly. At that time, no one will have a safe place to trade.

That's why you should still abide by some unwritten rules in places like this. Otherwise, you might become a public enemy because you've broken everyone's rules and completely changed the rules here. Then those people might take their anger out on you.

You don't follow the rules? Fine, then of course they don't need to follow the rules either. Countless people will want to get you, and you'll be the first to suffer. So in places like this, you'd better follow some of these unwritten rules, otherwise, you'll be the one who's unlucky. That's why Zhao Hai felt safe here; it truly was safe. (End of Chapter)
