Chapter 339, Interstellar Slave Trade

Time to return to the trade fair here in Boyle Galaxy.

Li Wandu and Ding Xiaoqiang looked around curiously at the booth. Many things are very rare. Naturally, it is not common to attract these soldiers of the Karan Empire to snatch them, let alone these things are very rare. Miscellaneous, from many proto-galaxies.

"It's a nice mask."

Ding Xiaoqiang held a metal mask and gesticulated to put it on his face. This mask looked very hideous and terrifying, with green face and fangs, it looked like something used by an indigenous civilization for sacrifices.

"I like this sword too, tsk tsk, it's quite sharp."

Ding Xiaoqiang picked up an ancient sword again. This ancient sword has patterns like snowflakes on it. The blade is very sharp, with blood grooves, and it is inlaid with a valuable precious sapphire. You can tell at a glance that it should be The sword used by a powerful person on a certain indigenous planet eventually fell into the hands of the officer of the Karan Empire in front of him, and became a very common commodity here.

"Boss, can we exchange these two things with this one?"

Ding Xiaoqiang took out a box of tea in his hand, which was not considered very good tea, so he tried to ask.

"What's the use of your leaves?"

The stall owner took the leaves and observed carefully, opened the box, smelled the bursts of tea fragrance from the tea leaves, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to enjoy it.

"You boil some water, and then soak these tea leaves with water. Don't put too much each time. It is very good for your health, and it can strengthen your stomach and eliminate food."

Ding Xiaoqiang smiled and told how to use the tea.

The stall owner held the tea, smelled it carefully, seemed to be hesitating, then thought about it and finally nodded, anyway, he had plenty of things in the hands of these natives, and he didn't spend a penny. just changed.

Ding Xiaoqiang also put away the two things happily. This mask is definitely not worth much, but this ancient sword still has a certain collection value. Of course, his box of tea itself is not a precious thing. They are exchanged with each other, and both parties are happy. .

The booth of the stall owner is very large, and the items are very complete. With the development of the trade fair, more and more people come here, constantly looking for things they like on the booth, and from time to time, some people find the stall with the things they have chosen. The owner bargains and exchanges all kinds of things with the stall owner for what he likes.

"Boss, are these slaves?"

Some people pointed to the various aliens in the cage and said that these aliens have different looks, some are tall, muscular, thick nostrils, tall and pointed ears, and some are short. With fluffy and thick hair; some just wear some animal fur or the like to cover important parts, some wear high-quality clothes; some look carefully at everything around them with curious eyes, and some look depressed , worrying all day long... In short, there are all kinds of people of all kinds, obviously people from many planets.

Some civilizations are still very low-level, probably only in the primitive tribal stage, and some are obviously already quite good in civilization level, but they were eventually conquered by the Karan Empire. These people were captured as slaves and imprisoned like animals. In the cage, he kept a distance from those natives who were disgusted with them, and looked at everything around him shrewdly, as if he was looking for a chance to regain his freedom.

"That's right, these are slaves. They are very cheap. Five slaves are considered a commodity. They are cheap to deal with. I am already tired of carrying these slaves. I am almost exhausted from eating and drinking."

The stall owner is obviously also a person who is not good at hiding his inner emotions, he seems to be a bit nagging, these slaves were caught by him from the original star, and he took them with him. It is indispensable, so I have been investing money in it all the time.

"Since you are losing money, why did you still arrest these slaves?"

Li Wandu also looked over at this time, looking at the many slaves in the cage. At this time, these slaves also looked at Li Wandu with their eyes. The eyes were full of desire for freedom, and at the same time they could see the gap between the eyes. The raging anger in the world, especially from some civilizations that have developed.

Their eyes can clearly see the unwillingness and longing for freedom in their hearts. They are locked in a small cage, and they are with the primitive aborigines like wild animals. Like a beast, this is definitely not something that civilized people can bear,

"%...%&%%@#@"

Seeing someone looking over, these slaves started yelling one by one, obviously wanting to get out of the current situation, even if they were bought off, at least they didn't have to be locked in a cage.

"What's the noise, I'm getting impatient."

The soldiers of the Karan Empire obviously didn't treat the smiles of Li Wandu and others. They held the electric baton in their hands and pointed at the iron cage. Suddenly, all the slaves in the cage rolled their eyes and collapsed to the ground. To deal with the slaves, the Karan Empire People in this world have never been soft-hearted.

"Originally, we would return to our Karan Empire soon. These slaves can still be sold at a good price as long as they are transported back, but now you also know that time has been delayed."

"If you want to buy it as a customer, I can sell it to you at a lower price. Anyway, if I haven't returned after a while, I will also dispose of them. I have lost a lot of money by eating and drinking every day."

The stall owner turned to Li Wan and explained with a smile.

"Is the slave trade in the interstellar world thriving?"

When Li Wandu heard this, he frowned. Most of the treatment he said should be to kill or deal with it. In short, it is impossible to say that he will treat him well and give him freedom or something.

"Of course, in the interstellar universe, the slave trade is as popular as the arms trade. If these slaves can be sold to our Karan Empire, this slave will be sold for tens of thousands of Karan coins. Similar to the portraits of our Karan Empire people, the price can be increased by ten times. It is not impossible that some slaves with special functions can be sold for millions, tens of millions, or even over [-] million Karan coins. "

The stall owner nodded and told about the considerable profits of the interstellar slave trade.

"Then the profit is quite high."

Li Wan nodded after listening.

"Of course it's high. Slaves have a wide range of uses. They can be used as labor force, live experiments, and can meet certain special needs. They can be used as pets, and some can also be used to make food, etc. , in short, slaves have a wide range of uses, in our Karan Empire, basically every family buys some slaves more or less."

"So the slave trade is also a very lucrative business in the interstellar trade. I am just making a small fuss, catching some slaves on the primitive planet for sale. The number is very small, and it is just for business."

"In each interstellar civilization, there are companies, individuals, families, etc. that specialize in the interstellar slave trade. These powerful forces even specialize in breeding and breeding slaves for the next planet, and provide special services for slaves according to the needs of customers. Directed selection and breeding, etc.”

"The slaves in their hands are really valuable, especially those high-end private custom slaves, each of which is worth a lot, far from being comparable to these low-level goods. The slaves trained by these slave companies or organizations are very obedient and absolutely You will not have the heart of betrayal, and you will be able to maximize your own value."

"The slaves in my hands are still very wild, so for the sake of safety, I installed slave collars on them, so you don't have to worry about anything, just teach them a lesson if they don't obey."

Both the stall owner and Li Wan made a deal. Seeing that many people around were interested in slaves, they talked about various things about the interstellar slave trade with great interest.

After listening to the stall owner's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp. Such a naked fruit, once reduced to an interstellar slave, is no different from beasts, animals, etc.

It's not just as simple as losing freedom, it's completely becoming a commodity, a commodity at the mercy of people, being sold as a beast, and it may even be treated like a beast as food, pets, etc. in the mouths of some civilizations.

If it falls into the hands of slave organizations, it will be even more tragic. These slave organizations specialize in hard trade and captivity. Basically, customers need to carry out directional breeding and cultivation. This has nothing to do with the dogs, pigs, sheep and cattle around us. Any difference has become slaves for generations and has become a plaything in the hands of others.

Everyone couldn't help but rejoice one after another, rejoicing that they live in an empire, in a powerful civilized country, if their civilization's technology is not developed, once they can't defeat these aliens, they can die under the flames of war. Fortunately, once you become an interstellar slave, it is worse than death.

Among these slaves, it can be clearly seen that some of them are civilized people who have already initiated, and they even carry things such as time calculations in their hands, and the clothes they wear are also industrial products. It has developed, but it is still defeated by the Karan Empire, so the fate is very tragic.

These people are often the most depressed and depressed among the slaves, and the fastest to die among the interstellar slaves. Among other things, these slaves alone cannot compete with the primitive natives in terms of fighting for food among themselves.

On the contrary, those primitive aborigines are tall, strong and strong, and seem to be able to accept being slaves. At this time, their mental state is quite good, and they all seem relatively calm, but their eyes are also very concerned about freedom. Longing, after all, even animals don't like being locked in a cage.
