Chapter 162 Trade Zone【4000】
While activating the cross-border key, not only the people but also the ship entered the transmission channel.
A teleportation list from Depth Level 0 [Surface Universe] to Depth Level 10 [Shattered Frontline] popped up before his eyes.
All the levels displayed on the list are always on, allowing him to choose at will.
But at this time, Zhao Feng's goal was clear, he ignored other options and chose the Lv. 1 [Trade Area] option without hesitation.
At the same time as the selection was completed, the gleaming light on the key instantly dimmed by half.
The invisible energy spread, opening a hole in the twisted space channel, and then seemed to pass through a layer of curtain.
Or maybe a layer of filter is added
As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, a whole new world appeared in front of him.
Looking at the world projected on the holographic screen, Zhao Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Before coming here, he had imagined what the trade area would look like.
Huge planets, neon-lit floating buildings, or ridiculously large commercial spaceships.
But the scene in front of him made Zhao Feng couldn't help but lament how lacking his imagination was.
The environment of the [Trading Zone] was different from any other space he had ever visited before.
If I have to describe it, this place looks like the inside of rainbow cheese.
Countless holes the size of stars are criss-crossing and connected to nowhere.
On the surrounding ground, there are countless buildings built, covering every "ground".
It can be seen through the shipboard optical telescope that the gravity environment of this universe also makes him confused.
There seems to be no difference between the ground and vertical walls, and the gravity between the two seems to switch seamlessly.
He has seen many vehicles turn from "normal" driving to straight up and down just by turning a corner.
Obviously, the properties of this level of universe are different from other depths he has been to.
You must know that all levels of the universe have their own unique attributes.
For example, the vacuum universe of the surface world, planets, planetary systems, and river systems.
The rocky world of the Rock Star Sea and the assimilation effect.
The Dark Star Sea is characterized by ubiquitous energy turbulence and weird and twisted "natural" phenomena.
But the Level 1 trade area was not any of them. This world gave Zhao Feng more of a weird feeling of alienation.
It's like a scene that only exists in a dream.
If you look carefully, you can even clearly feel that the space here seems to be curled up.
Not only that, the light is also curled.
Even gravity is curled up.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Feng calmed himself down a bit, then controlled the battleship and flew towards the edge area at high speed.
As he got closer to the "ground", the feeling of weightlessness gradually left him.
The gravitational pull exerted by the "wall and ground" on the battleship slowly slowed down the battleship's forward speed.
Just as he was soaring in this bizarre world, a strange and twisted text message suddenly popped up on the holographic screen in front of him.
Just when Zhao Feng felt confused, the speed of the high-speed warship slowed down visibly to the naked eye.
And, more strange words appeared on the screen.
Due to the rudimentary nature of the shipboard translation system, the text translated from this information was extremely obscure and difficult to understand.
Some of the words are not even related.
Fortunately, plug-ins are not just for free, so they quickly interpreted the corresponding content for him in a timely manner.
(Trade Zone Traffic Committee: Please do not fly at high speed over the business zone, please follow the instructions and land at the parking area →)
(Trade Zone Traffic Committee: Since it is your first time coming to the trade zone, your violation will only be dealt with with a warning.)
After comparing the Chinese characters with the twisted and weird alien characters, Zhao Feng could not find any similarities.
The only thing that's the same is probably the indicator symbols.
Follow the small indicator symbols that appear in front of the battleship screen.
Zhao Feng quickly drove to the so-called parking area.
I saw countless warships and cargo ships, large and small, in the docking area.
The largest cargo spaceship among them was hundreds of times larger than his floating airport.
It was filled with densely packed warehouses that looked like containers.
At this time, those warehouses were being unloaded and transported away.
After a rough look around, Zhao Feng followed the prompts and landed in the corresponding parking area.
After he completely anchored the battleship into the harbor, new information popped up.
It's still a strange text message, still automatically translated by a plug-in.
(Trade Zone Customs Autonomous Committee: It is detected that you enter the trade zone for the first time, and you can park here for free for 3 days.
Next, we will conduct a detailed scan of your ship. If any contraband is found, such as hallucinogens, tokens of ancient gods, etc.
Since you are here for the first time, only a collection and a warning will be given. )
(Please note: There is no charge for bringing goods up to 200 kilograms into the trade zone. The excess will be taxed according to a certain proportion.)
As soon as he read this message, he felt an invisible energy field, sweeping his whole body and the inside and outside of the battleship.
Under the wrap of that field, everything seemed to be "seeing" clearly.
Even the underwear and even the internal organs were not spared.
Feeling that energy, Zhao Feng couldn't help but raise his brows.
‘Ouch! With such a perverted scanning method, even if you try to hide something in your body, it will be in vain. ’
Then new information popped up on the holographic screen.
(After scanning, your ship does not carry any contraband. Welcome to Trade Area C14.)
With a sigh of relief, Zhao Feng rearranged the space exoskeleton, then quickly walked off the battleship carrying the suitcase he had prepared in advance.
Following the roadside signs, he soon set foot on the road to the intercity light rail.
While flipping through the [Basic Principles of Trade] sent by the Trade Zone Commerce and Trade Committee,
While walking on the ultra-futuristic streets.
Not long after walking, he followed the prompts and boarded the free "light rail" leaving the airport parking area.
This "light rail" is similar to a bullet train from Earth's time.
The only difference is that this "light rail" is completely sealed by a thin layer of "glass" track.
This scene made Zhao Feng think of a transportation method that only existed in human imagination, the 'vacuum rail train'.
And with the operation of the light rail, he could soon be sure that this thing was not a stretched vacuum rail train.
As the "light rail" runs faster and faster.
After breaking through a certain critical point, he was surprised to find that the surrounding scene turned into countless lights in an instant.
It's like entering a state of super light speed.
Before he could continue to be shocked, everything around him returned to normal after 3 seconds.
The streaks of light by the window reappeared and turned into buildings of various colors.
At the same time, the light rail arrival sound also played.
I left this so-called "light rail" in a daze.
After walking off the platform, Zhao Feng calmed down and wrote down all the stations on the sign before leaving with peace of mind.
This place was too big, and he didn't want to be unable to get home because he got lost.
As for the wonderful experience just now.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
‘Warp train! ’
It's not impossible, after all, the surrounding environment all turned into light at that moment.
In his perception, it has the kind of acceleration effect that even light cannot catch up with.
Only the super-light speed movement brought by the curvature engine can be achieved.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh at the power of technology.
‘It’s so advanced that such technology is used in daily life! ’
It wasn't until he walked out of the platform that he recovered from the shock.
As he walked out of the platform, Zhao Feng was immediately attracted by the surrounding buildings.
In the past, at the airport, those buildings may have had the shadow of the local government. Science fiction was science fiction, but it was still relatively restrained and conservative.
But after arriving at the business district here.
It feels like walking on the street of the game Cyberpunk 2077.
Strange creatures, strange buildings, and strange products are all wrapped up in this strange world.
He didn't take two steps before he saw densely packed aliens.
Octopus head, bubble head, cow head! Fish heads, etc., these are pretty normal.
The looks of some aliens are hard to describe.
Hundreds of moving fish-bubble combinations? Or suspended cancer cells?
Of course, aliens not only look weird, but their costumes are also full of personality.
Even people like Zhao Feng who go shopping wearing a tin can are very common.
This is actually quite good.
At least, Zhao Feng doesn't have to worry about not being able to blend in with them because he doesn't look perverted enough.
At this moment, the detection information about the surrounding environment in the armor also popped up.
[The area is free of harmful gases and suitable for carbon-based life to survive. 】
Staring at the data coming from the exoskeleton, Zhao Feng still had no intention of opening the mask.
For safety's sake, it's always good to have a steady hand.
If he shows his true face, there will inevitably be some omissions, so this is good for him.
After walking along the street for more than 10 minutes, the number of aliens on the street did not decrease at all.
Looking at the time, Zhao Feng couldn't help but frown.
Although I have only been here for less than half an hour, wandering around like a headless fly is too inefficient.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng stopped and looked through the various operational instructions and travel guides sent to him by the trade zone.
That's the first one. . .
‘Special attraction, red light district? ? ? ’
Thinking about the monsters and monsters he had seen before, Zhao Feng couldn't imagine the scene of being accompanied by two octopus-headed "sisters".
‘Pull him down! These are all weird things, I can’t enjoy them! ’
After a cold war, Zhao Feng quickly turned on the screening system to exclude all venues similar to the red light district.
‘I’m looking for a chamber of commerce that sells arms and battleship accessories, so ordinary clothing stores and musical instrument stores should also be excluded. ’
As Zhao Feng continued to pick and choose, he soon found the place he was looking for according to the information provided in the manual.
It was a separate area, and the items sold were mainly arms.
And just by looking at the names, Zhao Feng knew what they were selling.
‘Mercenary Home Armor Self-operated Store’, ‘Full Firepower Live Weapons Flagship Store’, ‘IED Specialty Store’
Looking at the names of these shops, Zhao Feng couldn't help but start thinking about the next course of action.
‘Make money. . . You can’t mess around, you have to understand the local market first. ’
After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Zhao Feng had just arrived and was penniless.
There is no capital for trial and error.
Therefore, before selling your own specialties, it is still very necessary to collect various product information, especially information about portable shields.
Soon he penetrated deep into the neighborhood.
The more he observed, the more frightened Zhao Feng became.
The density of people here is even higher than the ordinary trade area he just went to.
Moreover, the shops here are generally much larger than those in ordinary trade areas.
Just look at the smallest shops here, they are comparable to Wanda Plaza in the Earth era, and the larger ones are as big as the Workers' Stadium.
And all the store floors are hundreds of floors high.
Not only that, Zhao Feng also immediately selected three large, medium and small shops to calculate their customer flow.
Within 10 minutes, 50 people visited the last restaurant.
Can you imagine how popular this arms business is? !
Staring at the crowded street, Zhao Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
‘What a nice person! The large number of people shows that there is a market for arms trading here! ’
While feeling relieved, he did not immediately choose to enter a certain store.
Zhao Feng looked around for a while and then considered it for a long time.
He then chose a large store called the Minmatar United Chamber of Commerce.
Following the crowd into the store, there was no warm welcome from the reception staff, nor was there anyone like a shopping guide at the front desk.
Except for a huge virtual panel, there were only dozens of escalators lined up in front of him.
On each escalator, there is a detailed introduction to the floor it reaches and the corresponding sales type.
The first and second floors are stores, selling the most popular types of individual soldier equipment in the Xinghai world.
The third floor is the familiar auction area.
As for going up further, there is a miscellany of everything, including ship-based weapons, ship-based plug-ins, and all types of warships.
There is no rush to move up, his current assets are still 0.
Instead of wasting time going up, it would be better to inquire about the price of individual equipment here.
Follow the signs and walk around the elevator toward the back lobby.
After entering a gate, Zhao Feng was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
Do you know the supermarket in the mall?
If we talk about supermarkets in shopping malls, they sell all kinds of snacks, as well as small household appliances and daily necessities.
The snacks here are rows of various grenades, just like snacks, there are many types.
Such as plasma grenades, high-explosive grenades, incendiary grenades, shield grenades, EMP grenades, etc., there are countless types!
The "small electrical appliances" are various firearms, including thick and long rail guns, energy weapons with a full sense of technology, and shoulder-mounted individual cannons with a distinctive industrial style.
Finally, “haberdashery” represents various types of exoskeletons and individual mechas.
There are everything from equal height to 5 meters tall.
From limb drive, crawler drive to magnetic levitation drive, it basically meets all human imaginations for mechas.
And those beautiful items.
At this time, it was divided into hundreds of areas in an orderly manner, allowing the alien veteran to choose and buy at will. . .
