Chapter 1046: Chapter 702: Xianglan Chamber of Commerce (Part 2)
District 1001 of Flying Wing Star.
Behind the Trade Plaza, towering isolated peak reaching the clouds.
A majestic building forged entirely of metal, half exposed and half embedded in the mountain, bearing a tall and shining Melde Grass emblem:
—— Venus Star System Melde Chamber of Commerce Branch Station
Four-tiered platforms lead to the entrance, representing the Insect Clan Civilization as the highest fourth-level civilization in the universe.
Each platform layer having seven steps represents the Melde Chamber of Commerce as a seventh-level chamber.
White Ivy leads the way, and the group of insects ascends the steps.
The entrance door, over thirty meters wide, stands open.
Standing at the doorway and looking inside, the spacious hall is empty of insects.
Poison Bean: "The two old Spiders are slacking off again."
"Mind your respect for elders!"
White Ivy scolds lightly and instructs, "Fish Vine. Go find them. Just say there’s a powerful insect from the Home Planet wanting to register and set up a chamber of commerce, and ask Chairman Kansui to come over and help with the procedure."
"Got it——"
Fish Vine accepts the order and runs off.
Silvergrass raises a claw and points forward, explaining, "Behind the great mountain is the territory reserved by the Melde Chamber of Commerce. On usual days, the branch chairmen, Giant Taro and Kansui, are both back there in quiet cultivation."
Ink Orchid asked, "Are there only two Flame Spider stewards?"
Silvergrass: "In the Star Space, Flame Spider Roving Merchants of the Flame Spider Chamber of Commerce mostly operate in pairs. For particularly significant affairs, either a single Spider handles it alone or three Spiders are arranged to tackle it."
Ink Orchid: "The Venus Star System houses millions of insects? Isn’t the business of exchanging Primordial Crystals already enough to keep them busy?"
Silvergrass lifted a claw, pointing to the round platforms, sparsely distributed on the left side of the hall, each varying in diameter from three meters to ten meters, saying:
"Primordial Crystal exchange operations are automated and self-managed. Stand in front of a ’Star Platform’, activate the ’Star Network Account’ ability, and exchange options will appear, controlled by spiritual power consciousness, confirm the amount, and deliver on the Primordial Crystal platform."
"Primordial Crystals are packed in bags of 1000 pieces each, so the exchange amount must be an integer of a thousand pieces. Small platforms process individual insect exchange business, with a limit of 10,000 pieces per transaction. Large platforms handle chamber of commerce business, with a limit of 1,000,000 pieces per transaction. For large exchanges, you can operate multiple times."
"Wow——"
"Teleportation? Spatial Power?"
"Great King! Great King! Try it quickly!"
Ink Orchid, Tie Bush, and Rainbow Mulberry, who have never seen the world, jumped up in surprise, urging Dragon Cypress to try it quickly.
They headed together towards the nearest small round platform.
Silvergrass then pointed to the metal pillars supporting the dome inside the hall, introducing:
"Chamber of commerce-related business, stand before a ’Star Pillar’, activate the ’Star Network Account’ ability, and regular business like member updates, salary adjustments, reward issuances, etc., can all be processed."
"Only for registration to establish a chamber of commerce, chamber of commerce level evaluation, Wild God-Given Seed entry, ordering new 1-1 model Star Spiders and other unconventional businesses, need to have the two chairmen come over in person to handle."
"According to regulations, the two branch chairmen should take turns guarding here, but they are often not present. When an insect needs to do business, they would have to ask Flame Spider Roving Merchants to search for them at their territory..."
During the explanation,
They arrived together in front of a silver-white round platform with a diameter of about 3 meters and a height of about 1 meter.
Black floor, white line square frame.
Dragon Cypress stood within the square frame and activated the Star Network Account.
The metal round platform glowed slightly.
The Dragon Cypress Star Network Account displayed a new line of golden characters: [Exchange Amount 0 pieces]
Dragon Cypress controlled with spiritual power consciousness, the amount shifted to become 10,000 pieces.
Consciousness confirmed.
Dazzling white light burst forth, a slight spatial power fluctuation, only lasting a brief one to two seconds.
The white light faded.
There on the metal round platform, an exact ten large Spider Silk Bags.
Tie Bush and Rainbow Mulberry cheered and moved forward, only to be held back by White Ivy’s left and right claws.
"Don’t move. Be careful not to be judged as robbing."
"Dragon Cypress, fetch them yourself."
"Everyone, stay still! I’ve been framed like this before..."
Poison Bean said with frustration, "The first time White Ivy brought me here to demonstrate exchanging Primordial Crystals, I accidentally got misjudged as robbing."
Silvergrass: "Chairman Giant Taro, who is usually unseen, instantly appeared, and even tied me up along."
Poison Bean: "Eventually cost me 1,000 Primordial Crystals in fines to get out."
"..."
Ink Orchid, Tie Bush, and Rainbow Mulberry shrank back with excitement.
Dragon Cypress lifted a claw, took down a bag and opened it to check, confirming it was correct before tidying it up.
Then circled around the metal round platform once more.
The star platform surface was smooth and tidy, without a single Original Energy Pattern.
Primordial Energy Metal, some sort of alloy material.
Couldn’t understand how it’s made.
Went to a metal pillar, activated the Star Network Account ability to try, but there was no reaction.
Headed towards the deeper part of the hall, came to a square pillar with a side length of more than two meters, supporting the dome of the cave.
Silvergrass introduced, "Chairman Giant Taro or Chairman Kansui handles various unconventional matters here."
"Is it this pillar?"
Dragon Cypress asked, "Are these all creations of human technology civilization?"
Poison Bean hurriedly answered, "I only heard they’re produced by the Lizhu Star System, only chambers of commerce above level seven qualify for ordering. Furthermore, only Flame Spider Chambers of Commerce of level seven and above have the authority to assist other Insect Clan Warriors in registering to establish chambers of commerce."
Ink Orchid suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Level two chambers need 10 Wild God-Given Seeds, level three chambers need 100, by this rule, don’t level four chambers need 1000 then?"
"That can be understood this way..."
White Ivy explained, "But the actual conditions are somewhat stricter. If a chamber of commerce established by Insect Clan Warriors wants to advance to level four, it also needs to master 1 Second Level Origin Point. Level five chambers require mastering 10 Second Level Origin Points, and level six chambers require 100."
"Divine-Given Seeds can be continuously acquired through operating Life Planets, but the number of Origin Points in a Star System is fixed. The higher the level of Origin Points, the rarer the quantity. Moreover, the distribution of Origin Points follows certain patterns."
