My slow journey to infinity

Sylvia was aware of Wang Shui's obsession with farming.

After all, they once indirectly controlled two countries by controlling food.

However, that was in a fantasy world where agricultural technology was very backward, and that kind of favorable weather and geographical conditions was very rare.

At least in reality, even though aqua regia still masters the alchemy of perfecting the birth of plants, it still possesses infinite energy in some sense——

He also has no chance to repeat his previous success.

Sylvia and Wang Shui quickly exchanged opinions with their eyes, and Wang Shui immediately smiled helplessly:

“I understand that doing food business in [Gof Star] is purely seeking death.

There is indeed a lot of uninhabited land here, and unsupervised [energy wells] can also be built, but the biggest problem is not the energy limit, but the guys who can directly influence the war. "

This is exactly what Sylvia meant. She nodded and continued:

“Except for the proprietary materials directly provided by the [Dream System] to the Awakened, other strategic materials are directly controlled by the three super companies. However, except for bulk goods, their sensitivity is relatively low.

They don't care if someone makes money from this treasure land, they just don't want outsiders to interfere in the war.

This is precisely why we can run the mobile armor business - even tens of thousands of level 3 mobile armors can have a controllable impact on the balance of war. What's more, many of our customers left [Goff Star] directly after taking the goods.

But food is different. It is more dangerous and difficult to control than guns and ammunition. "

Wang Shui naturally understood what Sylvia meant——

On this planet where a large number of people are involved in the war, in addition to the main warring parties, the warlord forces divided by each party cannot be underestimated.

These warlords are the product of constant conflicts and integration between soldiers who have lost their organization and identity and local indigenous people.

This special group of extraordinary people, whether they are former deserters or desperadoes who have committed crimes, all have the same final life choices:

They separated themselves from one side and relied on the right time, place and people to actually control a large amount of strategic land. They also relied on the "suffer together" fighting style to make many parties on the battlefield fearful.

Neither side of the main battle wanted to lose combat power so casually, so they acquiesced to the existence of many big warlords. They also unanimously supported the warlords who were close to the enemy's positions.

And those desperadoes also relied on the supplies provided by all parties to delicately maintain the balance of the battlefield and create a stalemate that everyone was satisfied with.

For both sides of the main battle, large amounts of strategic materials are what restrain them from the mad dogs of war, so they are particularly sensitive to things like food.

However, Wang Shuihui first proposed to cultivate land, and naturally he had some considerations:

"I never thought about getting into trouble with those big guys. I just wanted to farm."

"Hoarding is serious again?" Sylvia made a reasonable guess.

"How can this habit be alleviated... Actually, it's not all to satisfy my special sense of security. I have some ideas about the flow of resources.

Currently, 30% of the operating profits of the [Yeyu Technology] company are invested in follow-up research and development, a little more than 30% are invested in reproduction, and the rest is almost all invested in the accumulation of rare materials.

In addition to direct profits, we also have a big hoard, which is those [privately minted energy coins] without trademarks and permissions - this stuff is a terrible strategic resource.

In general, we are still hoarding resources, and the only way to monetize resources is the mobile armor business, which is highly efficient but slow.

So I think it would be a good way to make money through alchemy to turn the energy coins we hoard into food, and then resell them to other planets where food is not restricted? It’s always more convenient than slowly handling energy coins! "

Hiss - reselling food from the war planet to the peaceful planet in the opposite direction?

Sylvia has never thought about this...

"It seems... it is indeed somewhat feasible. Most planets, or those independent city managers, are more concerned about energy security. Their control over food is relatively loose, and they do have room for maneuver——

However, can your space capabilities support the storage and transportation of bulk goods? "

At this time, Wang Shui shook his head:

"Not yet, I need some relatively rare materials to create a [static space] that is large enough and stable enough.

However, when it comes to farming, there is no need to rush. It takes time to select seeds, plant them, harvest them, and find buyers.

[Jutus Planet Dulin Inner City] where I am now is a good place. The market here is highly complementary to [Goff Star], so it is very likely that there will be the materials I need. "

So far, it's just a small talk between the two of them.

Wang Shui's tone did not have his habitual decisiveness, which meant that he was not ready and was just a little moved now.

Unlike Aquaria, who was lost in thought from time to time, Sylvia, who was sitting more and more relaxed, had the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Why are you so kind all of a sudden? - Well, forget it, no need to answer, I can probably guess...

In fact, there is no need to worry about my psychological problems - well, as long as I don't deliberately look through those memories and use some [psionic abilities] (derived from Occlumency), I can easily regulate my emotions.

Although it means treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, fortunately there is no risk. "

Compared to Wang Shui, who could always find the right words and tone, Sylvia, who was not good at communication, would only shake her head gently to express that she was not completely relieved.

Wang Shui could only smile helplessly.

There was still a long chat, but during the chat, Wang Shui was also collecting the needs of the sisters through the internal network. Now he is everyone's buyer in [Dulin Inner City].

When Shui Wang opened the door again and returned to the student dormitory, the sky outside the window was getting dark. Shui Wang came back at this time.

Speaking of which, the day and night of [Jutus Star] and [Goff Star] are not synchronized, and the planetary time system is also calculated based on its own star system.

Fortunately, there is such a thing as the [Three Phase Table], in which [Cosmic Time] can standardize the expression of time and calibrate the user's perception of each galaxy.

With the [Three-Phase Table] to regulate body perception, space spell casters like Aqua Regia don't have to suffer from "jet lag".

Aqua Regia walked to the window. At this time, the star that provided the basic light and heat for Eutus was setting on the clear edge of the crystal dome.

This sun in a broad sense changed classes with the two small silver moons, and the energy in the surrounding environment immediately had some special feedback - this is the magical experience under the senses of an extraordinary person.

After simply sorting out some belongings, Wang Shui went out.

The arrival of night has not made the Millennium Academy dark. Most of the buildings are providing light to the academy.

In the teaching area, there are many students who have classes at night or need to do experiments.

Various club activity rooms, commercial venues, shops, etc. in the living area also erupted with excitement far exceeding that during the day.

But more students still choose to go out to play. Their destination is the extremely special neighborhood opposite the school——

【Wasteland Area】.

Wang Shui had also glimpsed a corner of the [Wasteland Area] when he was attending school late at night.

At that time, he only felt the vitality of the young students, but he did not expect that the quiet but lively street was actually part of the local gray entertainment district.

The entire [Wasteland Area] is very large. From a bird's eye view, it is a very irregular closed polygon.

On every side of it are similar, quiet streets. Those small commercial streets that combine natural vegetation with exquisite modern architecture look quite beautiful.

In fact, each of the narrow alleys and back doors between these exquisite buildings is a passage deep into the [Wasteland Area].

Each of these special "sides" and special streets also corresponds to a famous school.

Wang Shui also left school. He even rented a flying skateboard and simply acted like a fourth grader.

At night, there are many students out to play, but in the long flow of people, there is also a large distance between each group of people.

Wang Shui followed several groups of students with indifferent expressions and followed them into an alley.

The alley that can be passed by two people is lined with wooden and stone building walls on both sides. The ground is paved with solid stone slabs with simple patterns engraved on it.

Wang Shui followed the example of the previous people. When he walked through the middle of the alley, he threw an alloy coin into the hole in the wall on the right.

This coin is a standard currency common among multiple civilizations and is a small-circulation physical version of digital currency.

Wang Shui once exchanged some money in the ruined city [Rena], but he didn't use it often - because he had a safe virtual account and could directly use digital currency and dream points without exposing his business dealings.

The purchasing power of standard currency is quite strong.

If you have to pay a ticket of this price every time you enter this so-called [Wasteland Area], this cost is still quite high for students.

You know, those growth supplements specially prepared for first- and second-level extraordinary beings only cost a little over a dollar a day, and this is the price on the war planet.

In fact, this "ticket" is indeed somewhat different from Wang Shui's judgment.

Because right in front, the student in front of Wang Shui was being stopped by two people at the end of the alley.

Without thinking too much, Wang Shui directly entered the "phase invisibility" state and leaned over - now was not the time to consider sneaking in normally. The rules here were a little different from what Wang Shui had learned.

As he approached, the conversation between the three people at the end of the alley was clearly transmitted.

"Don't put your hands on your waist. I don't want to remind you a second time. You are a newcomer, right? A first grader?"

The two people who stopped the student seemed to be watching the scene.

However, a small amount of light from inside came through, illuminating the appearance of the two guards clearly.

They are also very young guys, and their temperament is not that of gangsters that Wang Shui is familiar with. They... seem to be students too?

"No, second grader, this is indeed my first time here, but I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to buy something from the [Secret Order] here."

At this time, the newcomer's mood is still quite calm, his language is also very logical, and he seems to have prepared in advance.

The two guards briefly exchanged glances, their indifferent expressions unchanged. The person in charge of communication, with almost no thought, spoke the words of expulsion skillfully:

"Leave. This is private territory. Outsiders and newcomers are not welcome. An invitation is required."

"I have an invitation and paid for the tickets."

After hearing the newcomer's excuse, the guard who had not spoken before suddenly sharpened his eyes:

"You said..."tickets"? The invitation you got is a digital version, right? "

"Uh...yes." The newcomer's voice immediately became much softer.

"Last warning, get out of here. The church has never used digital invitations, let alone collected tickets. In the middle of the "Sacrificial Road" are the offerings of believers. If you don't want to cause trouble, just shut up and get out. "

Although the tone is strong, it seems that there is no custom here of taking action if there is a disagreement?

Speaking of which, Wang Shui had lamented the "harmony" among their awakened ones before.

As mercenaries of the system, as a group of warriors with extraordinary power, we are not actually as violent as in the entertainment works, let alone looking for trouble at will.

However, if it were the scene before us, if the three people now were all awakened, there would indeed be no fight between them, but a robbery would be inevitable.

The newcomer violated a taboo and showed weakness in force. If he didn't beat him up and robbed him of all his belongings, he would really be sorry for the atmosphere.

The previous [Hunting Club] and the overly free online life of some students left Wang Shui with a preconceived bad impression.

But now it seems that this place is not the chaos Wang Shui imagined?

After understanding the local environment, Wang Shui did not leave. He relied on the phase invisibility state and walked in directly.

This is not because Wang Shui is too big and underestimates the other party's security system - he has carefully studied the energy environment inside this alley.

There are indeed more than two people guarding the place. The streets inside are also equipped with comprehensive defense methods similar to [Mystery Lock] and [Enchantment].

However, according to what Wang Shui saw near the battlefield, the defense methods here were a bit too shoddy.

First of all, this so-called [mysterious lock] is definitely not a product of some "magic service" company.

Because Aqua Regia not only found a large number of public spell interfaces, but also followed the passive energy sensors and directly found a hand-made [Spell Server] - these things are definitely not commodities, and Aqua Regia wouldn't use them even if they paid for them.

The Mystic Server, which had no disguise or protection at all, really made Shui Wang cautious.

Wang Shui is not a professional [Spell Hacker], nor is he a [Dream Web Weaver] who traverses the dream network, but here, it is not a professional [Data Fortress].

All the data interfaces here are clearly exposed. As long as you understand the composition principles of these devices and spells, you can naturally understand them and even obtain some permissions in reverse.

After wandering around invisibly, Wang Shui had already edited a fake identity for himself on the server here, an identity with ordinary records but extremely high hidden authority.

Then, he left here again.

Revealing his figure in the deserted corner outside, Wang Shui strutted into the alley and entered the block behind.

The data verification of the local [Mystery Lock] passed smoothly under his watch, and naturally no alarm was triggered.

Therefore, the two guards resting not far away did not pay attention to Wang Shui.

All this was natural. It only took a very short time for Shui Wang to become a regular customer here.

The new world is really coming to him now.
