Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

This is the real highlight and climax of the opening ceremony.

—She wants to turn Apocalypse Dust into the hard currency of the Apocalypse Continent.

The physical properties, economics, mathematics, and history of Apocalypse Dust have long given it a value equivalent to gold on Earth.

In terms of properties, Apocalypse Dust is chemically stable, and its structure is difficult to be destroyed by either magical or physical attacks.

From an economic perspective, Tianqi micro dust has high value density and scarcity. It is small in size, high in value, easy to transport over long distances, and can be traded across regions.

From a historical and psychological perspective, Apocalypse Dust, as an energy source left behind by the Apocalypse Clan, is inherently credible enough to possess monetary attributes.

However, it cannot circulate only in the stock market or among merchants, weapon masters, and other sources. It also needs to enter every household and become an ornament, collectible, and investment in the hands of ordinary people, becoming the true hard currency of the Tianqi Continent.

The biggest drawback of Tianqi Micro Dust is that it cannot be divided and melted, and the current mining volume is too large, resulting in its total volume growing too fast.

But for the former, her universal inlay device can solve the problem.

The latter will not become a real problem.

Because the Apocalypse Continent is too large, and Apocalypse Dust only exists in the clouds.

Although clouds are common, Li Zhi discovered through his own and official mining data that the probability of catching Tianqi Dust is between 0.01% and 3% compared to other cloud mines.

This value varies depending on the size of the cloud, its moisture content, and even the airflow, but in most cases it remains below 0.1%.

It's worth noting that even with 3000 official fishing boats, the amount of Apocalypse Dust they can provide her with per day is only around 1000.

1000 is not 1000 units; each one contains only 0.1 units.

This also means that, according to the official accounts, the 3000 fishing vessels only catch 50000 Apocalypse Dust particles per day.

Ten dust particles are needed to form one unit of Apocalypse Dust, which means that the official team can only collect 5000 units of Apocalypse Dust per day.

However, the official cost of catching Apocalypse Dust has exceeded 3 silver coins per unit.

Although other minerals can subsidize this, the high cost still deters most private fishing vessels and species that cannot stay in the air for long, thus maintaining its scarcity.

Li Zhixuan's decision to turn Apocalypse Micro Dust into a hard currency at this juncture was a well-thought-out one.

Especially after having a private conversation with the Rock Nest tribe.

She became even more confident that she could do it.

The only problem is that it cannot circulate only in the stock market or among the sources such as businessmen and weapons masters.

It also needs to enter every household, becoming an ornament, collectible, and investment in the hands of ordinary people, and becoming the true hard currency of the Tianqi Continent.

Today is the perfect time to use Google and marketing to make it the safest investment in the eyes of all races on the Apocalypse Continent.

The Sky Curtain GG appeared.

The most vehement reaction will undoubtedly come from this land that remains vigilant against danger.

On the large lawn, people who were chatting and eating were still a little bewildered when they saw themselves appear in the sky.

But seeing the rising price of Apocalypse Dust and the limited quantity of jewelry in the counter, those who reacted quickly had already rushed into the general store.

Those who were a little slow to realize what was happening, when they saw everyone rushing in, subconsciously followed suit and squeezed forward as well.

Fortunately, thanks to Li Zhi's advance warning, Bai Ge and the officials were well prepared, and the hyena clan also joined in to help.

A combination of persuasion and force instantly brought the team into order.

But some people couldn't help but feel anxious: "Why are there so few necklaces? What if I don't get one when it's my turn?!"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately tensed up.

"Are we stocked enough?"

"I want to buy 0.7 units of Apocalypse Dust! I brought the money! Let me go first!"

"I want to buy two units! First come, first served!"

However, some people remained clear-headed: "Even if the price of Apocalypse Dust really goes up, we only have a few pieces. Even if we sell them to merchants, they won't want them. What kind of investment is that?"

Bai Ge smiled and said, "Everyone, don't worry. The Black Shop will provide inlay services permanently. You can also purchase Apocalypse Dust yourselves and pay the processing fee for the Black Shop to process it for you. At the same time, our Black Shop promises to purchase Apocalypse Dust raw materials every day at the market price. If the price rises after you buy it today, you can come back tomorrow and exchange it for copper coins, silver coins, or gold coins."

"In addition, our boss will open an exchange in the near future. Black market members and the exchange will be joint members. Every day, we will send everyone the data from the exchange, including the daily price and price trend of Apocalypse Dust and various raw materials, as well as the latest information from various races, including the latest invented weapons, the latest research results, and so on."

"Really?!"

"How is this any different from the stock exchange on Earth?"

"Samsung must be wasting its time! Trying to trade stocks on the Apocalypse Continent!"

"I need to meet Samsung's five-star manager! I studied finance! I graduated from a top global finance program! Now all I need is a boss!"

Compared to the shock experienced by humans, other races were much less affected.

They can understand human language, but they cannot comprehend the true meaning of those words.

So most of them try to cut in line or scratch their heads, wanting the line to go faster.

Some people also chat:

"I know about Apocalypse Dust! The price is rising really fast! Yesterday it was 13 silver, and today it's 13 silver and 60 copper! I passed by Artisan Town and heard a lot of people talking about it."

"That necklace is so beautiful, I just wonder if it can be inlaid with magic or space. I wish space could be inlaid here too."

"I like the leaf that the tree-man is wearing. I hope they'll sell out soon?"

"Apocalypse Dust has color? I remember it was always just one color before?"

Everyone at the long table, including Celia, was equally surprised by this guy.

But those present had more experience and reacted faster.

Celia and Shen, in particular, immediately contacted their own races to protect the Apocalypse Dust they possessed and prevent it from being sold to others.

Ling ignored all that and was simply curious: "What is an exchange?"

Li Zhi patiently explained to her, "Ling, you are my... on the Tianqi Continent."

She caught a glimpse of Riley staring at her with wide eyes.

He changed the subject, saying, "My first benefactor, if you hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death by Shen long ago. I've always been grateful to you and trust your character. I'd like you to join the exchange and become one of its shareholders. Would you be willing?"

Ling met Li Zhi's sincere eyes, and her expression became serious: "Although I am not a businessman, I can sense that the exchange you are going to establish will be very successful. Li Zhi, we are friends, so I cannot become your shareholder. Some people in the Feather Spirit Clan will want to cooperate with you. Only by making them your shareholders can you bring more benefits."

Shen scoffed, "You're not talking about Yi, are you? It's hard to say who owns that exchange."

She glared at Li Zhi again: "If you bring this up again, this matter will no longer be considered closed!"
