Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 496 496. The Ocean: The End

This is the truth of his departure from the former fleet.

Coming here again, Uncle Zhang naturally had mixed feelings in his heart.

It's just that it seems to be completely different here.

If the feeling brought to him by the mysterious sea was depressing and dull, then he no longer feels this depressing at all.

If this is just an illusion, then the chaotic sea area that is not affected by the magnetic field at all is the best, and it can prove that the mysterious sea area has changed.

Because there is a problem with the magnetic field near the mysterious sea area, the ocean around here is chaotic, and it is impossible to tell the direction of the surroundings, and it is even more difficult to find the way back.

But it's different now. Even if they don't have a direction indicator, they can find the original road and drive back directly.

This is obviously not normal.

But no matter what, even if they knew that there had been changes here, they didn't dare to act rashly. At most, they circled around here twice more, and then prepared to return.

However, when returning to Sea Whale Island, Shiraki and his party heard a lot of news on the way.

Coincidentally, among these news, there is something about the mysterious sea area.

"Hey, have you heard that the mysterious sea seems to have disappeared."

"?? Brother, this is not a good joke. How could the mysterious sea disappear for no reason."

"Who told you that you were joking! I heard it from the people in the big fleet... It is said that the nobles are planning to organize people to go in and find out."

After all, there are real examples of people getting rich overnight in the Uncharted Sea Territory. If you really have the opportunity to go in and have a look, who would be willing to give up such a great opportunity?
What's more, they still have so many things in the grocery store as their reliance, unless they kill themselves, they basically don't have to worry about life-threatening things.

Therefore, when the rumors arose, more and more fleets approached the direction of the mysterious sea.

Whether it's for the treasures inside, or just to come and see the excitement... In short, everyone's unanimous actions this time can be said to turn the exploration of the mysterious sea from the individual to the collective.

The more people there are, the more courageous they become.

A part of the fleet stopped outside the mysterious sea with communicators, while the other part of the fleet used the positioning function of the communicators to determine their location based on the positioning distance.

From the beginning, I only dared to explore the edge of the mysterious sea, and then slowly went deep...

"Look!! There is a big island ahead!!!"

It was on and on, and I don't know who exclaimed, everyone's eyes were looking in one direction——

It was a large piece of complete land, with various houses scattered high and low. The road was paved with clean and tidy bluestone slabs, and pedestrians could be vaguely seen walking on the road. What kind of peddlers...

……

……

Uncharted disappeared.

Two plates that had been separated for hundreds of years finally joined together again.

People on land are amazed at how people on another plate survive only by fishing, and people on the sea don't understand how people on land live after losing their fishing places.

But it doesn't matter.

Because now the land has regained the ocean, and the ocean has merged with the land.

After the exploring fleet told all these things to the other side, the fleet stationed outside the mysterious sea area, everyone was shocked.

Soon, the first batch of fleets entering the continental plate discovered that besides the urban land they saw at the beginning, there were many urban lands behind the mysterious sea.

They are like stars in the night sky, scattered everywhere in the sky.

It's a pity that the ocean used for transportation has been divided, so over the past few hundred years, the development of these cities has been greatly restricted due to the cessation of trade.

Basically, every city has one or two special products. Except for special products, the development of other things is relatively slow.

This is reflected in many aspects such as cost, efficiency, and technology.

Regardless of the climate and environment, people on land can grow all kinds of food, including fruits that people on the ocean plate could not afford before, but their lives are far less moist than imagined.

Like the oceanic plates, their freshwater productivity is also lacking.

In addition, because you can only hide in one city, many things cannot be obtained by going out to explore.

But anything that they can't be self-sufficient, then don't even think about seeing it in this life.

Although there are also oceans on the continental plate, the ocean here has always been regarded as a forbidden zone, and people on the mainland are not allowed to approach it, let alone sail on the ocean.

The origin of this restricted area is also very simple. There are always confident people who sail out in a boat and never come back.

Therefore, when hundreds of fleets appeared in the sights of mainlanders, their first reaction was to feel that they were hallucinating.

It wasn't until the fleet docked and the people on board came down to ask about their situation that they knew that all this was true.

……

Since the mysterious sea disappeared, and the fleet discovered the new continent after the mysterious sea, everyone's life has become more novel and interesting.

People with brains changed their careers immediately, turning fishing boats into merchant ships, and profiting exclusively from maritime trade.

Although each city is different, the culture is different, and the specialties are also different, but the currency they use for transactions is unexpectedly consistent.

People on land can't go to sea, but they found a kind of shell that washes up on the shore every day.

This kind of hard, small, delicate... Although the reason is not clear, it seems that hundreds of years ago, they have established the rules of using shells as trading currency, which has been passed down to this day.

Everyone is used to trading with shells, so there is no change.

If you compare pearls with shells, ten shells are equivalent to one pearl in terms of purchasing power.
However, from an energy point of view, ten shells are actually equal to one pearl.

In other words, shells can also be used as energy sources for a series of products such as water purifiers and communicators...Of course, even if they can, no one will really use shells to charge, because it is really too slow.

The development of the caravan was not particularly affected, because everyone found that the news from the grocery store seemed to be more informed than what they came from.

Because on the second day after the disappearance of the mysterious sea, everyone found that the price of the grocery store had included the conversion of shells.

In other words, they can also use shells to buy things in grocery stores in the future... This undoubtedly greatly increases the space and confidence for the development of trade caravans.

However, there is still a more important problem to be solved.

Now that there is a trade caravan, the most popular canned fruit and wine will naturally become one of the best trade items.

After all, although there is wine on the mainland, there are only grain wine and fruit wine. If you want more types, you can only buy them in grocery stores.

Similarly, there are only the simplest fruits such as apples, bananas and pears, and the varieties are not as rich as canned fruits.

It's a good thing that wine and canned fruit are selling well, but it's also a trouble. After all, these two things are from the grocery store. They buy them first and then sell them. They are always worried that Boss Su will be unhappy.

Therefore, even if the profits are huge, few people dare to do this. At most, they can buy some and give them as gifts to build a good relationship with others.

It wasn't until someone really plucked up the courage to personally ask Boss Su about whether the items in the store were allowed to be bought by caravans and then sold in foreign trade, that this matter was considered to be resolved.

The answer given by Boss Su is: yes.

Because when she came here, there was only the ocean plate here, and the continental plate could only be regarded as an addition at most, and it did not belong to the scope of her mission.

It's just that after she repairs the plate gap, there will definitely be other specialized systems coming to develop the cities on the continental plate independently.

All she has to do now is to open stores on the three islands of Sea Whale Island, Coral Island and Sand Islands.

What's more, after the plate is opened up, not only people from this side can come over, but people from the mainland plate can also come over.

Anyway, now that the mysterious sea area has disappeared, the risk of sailing on the sea has been greatly reduced. It can be said that apart from the Fish Demon Day and natural disasters, basically there will be no other troubles.

If they want to buy a lot of canned fruit or wine, they can come by boat at any time to buy it.

With the answer given by Boss Su himself, everyone is relieved.

A group of caravans bought cans and wine and ran away for a meal, but because there were too many caravans doing this, the degree of market competition was comparable to the fresh water market when the water purifier appeared.

Therefore, the prices of these two things eventually stabilized at a premium of around 10% to 20%.

In other words, they can only earn 3 to 6 pearls for a can or a bottle of wine, which is 30 to 60 shells converted into shells.

Although the price is not cheap, but after unlocking the sea area, the income of people on the mainland has increased by a fishery, so they have more money on hand, and this price is acceptable...

The ending is naturally a happy one.

After that, Su Mo unlocked some practical gadgets, such as binoculars, shell bags (equivalent to pearl boxes), compressed life jackets...

In addition, there are some consumables that are not easy to produce on this plane, but are used, such as wine and canned fruit.

As for the things on this plane, she basically didn't unlock them, otherwise it would be compressing the living space of others.

Of course, except for fishing nets, after all, the quality of fishing nets in this plane is really not good, and they can't deal with fish monsters at all.

……

The time after that is to buy and sell things repeatedly, and occasionally look through the mall, and when you see useful things, you will unlock them every once in a while...

Soon, after staying in this plane for about a year and a half, Su Mo accumulated [-] million pearls.

Just when Sansan was about to choose the next plane for her, Su Mo stopped it...
