"We've gone a bit off-topic with all this talk, let's get back on track." After saying so much, Xinglan suddenly smiled and said.
“Over the past thousand years, I’ve almost exhausted our resources. The remaining resources are not worth using anymore, and we still need to support those more than ten million people. So, I’m planning to go out and take a look.” Xinglan paused before continuing.
"Brother Xinglan, are you leaving your civilization?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.
He was genuinely surprised. Although he had often seen posts on the Cosmic Trading System in the past few days from some of the system's owners about their trips to different parts of the universe, their encounters, and their gains, he had never actually interacted with those people and had only ever seen them as spectators.
Xing Lan was someone he was quite familiar with, and now this familiar person was telling him that he was going to the cosmos. He had a strange feeling about it.
Furthermore, Xinglan just said that venturing into the vast universe is also the time when accidents are most likely to happen.
He felt a little worried for Xinglan.
He suddenly realized that the other person's advice to him might be a way of giving him instructions before he passed away.
After all, the other party has entered the outer space, and they probably have no idea what might happen to them.
"Yes, we'll have to leave sooner or later. We've made all the necessary preparations. As for the rest, without resources, it's hard to prepare anything else," Xinglan nodded slightly and said.
"Don't worry, even if I leave, our transactions can still proceed normally. With the Universal Trading System, we can trade no matter where I am." Xinglan paused and smiled.
"That's not what I meant," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.
But he only managed to utter that one sentence, because at that moment, he didn't know what else to say.
“Because I’m leaving, I’ve been learning a lot in recent years. I’ve seen a lot about what you just mentioned in my own civilization and in the information of other civilizations with a lot of intelligent life. It should be helpful to you,” Xinglan said, seemingly unconcerned.
“You did a good job. Posting videos of them oppressing you online not only promotes your products but also serves to suppress and restrain them… I heard you say that you have a stock market system where you live, and that they are a listed company?” Xinglan said.
In fact, Lin Yun and Xing Lan have different written languages, and the nouns for some things are even different. However, the Cosmic Trading System integrates the written languages of countless civilizations, can understand all kinds of written languages, and convert them into written languages that the owner of the Cosmic Trading System can understand.
Therefore, Lin Yun could easily understand what Xing Lan was saying at that moment.
"Mm." Lin Yun nodded.
“Then that’s the right approach. Buy a basic stock market book from the official website of the Cosmic Trading System. After studying it, you’ll understand many of the fundamentals. Then, find some traders on your side and operate their stocks according to your specific rules…” Xinglan smiled.
Next, he explained to Lin Yun how to proceed.
During this process, many professional things were involved, which Lin Yun didn't understand. So he simply bought a book by Xing Lan from the official website of the Cosmic Trading System.
It cost a total of five spirit crystals.
Xinglan then told him that such learning materials are not cheap on the cosmic trading system. This is just a book on basic stock market knowledge, very ordinary, which is why it is so cheap. There are countless civilizations and countless knowledge in the universe, among which there are many books on basic stock market knowledge. Some of the best books on basic knowledge can even cost hundreds of spiritual crystals.
The price of more advanced knowledge increases exponentially, reaching staggering levels when it reaches a certain level.
After purchasing the books, a vast amount of information flooded into Lin Yun's mind, allowing him to instantly understand many things. When he listened to Xing Lan's explanation, many things suddenly became clear to him, and he even felt admiration for the various methods Xing Lan used to explain.
The stock market contains so much more than you can imagine.
"By the way, if you're not afraid to spend your spiritual crystals, you can have the official Cosmic Trading System customize books based on your civilization's knowledge..." Xing Lan was speaking when she suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but speak up.
"Custom-made books based on the knowledge of our civilization?" Lin Yun was taken aback.
“That’s right. Actually, the Cosmic Trading System started collecting information about your civilization after it was introduced to you. It collects everything that’s available online and everything that isn’t. As long as you pay a certain amount of spiritual crystals, it can customize some things you want to learn based on this information. However, the price is extremely high and not worth it. That’s why I didn’t tell you this at first. I just wanted you to buy the books that were already available from the official website…” Xinglan nodded.
"It's not just expensive, it's incredibly expensive?" Lin Yun said softly.
As he spoke, he contacted the Cosmic Trading System. The Cosmic Trading System immediately understood his meaning and quickly replied with the result: Earth's stock market knowledge could be integrated into four levels of books: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and super.
The beginner level requires 100 spirit crystals, the intermediate level requires 1,000 spirit crystals, the advanced level requires 10,000 spirit crystals, and the super level requires 100,000 spirit crystals.
Lin Yun was utterly speechless upon seeing this result.
Is all the stock market knowledge on Earth really worth so much intellectual investment?
One hundred thousand spirit crystals... that's enough to buy a decent warship!
According to Xinglan, their area has 15 million people, and they can condense one and a half spirit crystals every day, which is more than 500 spirit crystals a year.
Ten years, more than five thousand?
One hundred years, more than 50,000?
Using this method alone, it would take nearly two hundred years to accumulate 100,000 spirit crystals!
Just to gain knowledge of the stock market on Earth?
Lin Yun shook his head.
No wonder Xinglan said it was unusually expensive and not worth it at all.
There are so many kinds of knowledge on Earth. If we learned them all like this, what would happen?
"See? It's expensive, isn't it?" Xinglan laughed loudly.
"Many people speculate that this is the super civilization that created the Cosmic Trading System. In order to select the essence of knowledge from various civilizations and not waste resources on ordinary knowledge, it was set up this way. In that case, the owner of the Cosmic Trading System probably wouldn't be willing to use this method to create books on ordinary knowledge..." Xinglan paused and sighed.
At first, he also wanted to learn the knowledge of their civilization in the same way. No matter how good the knowledge on the cosmic trading system was, it was never as practical as learning the knowledge of their native civilization.
Unfortunately, it was too expensive, so he only gritted his teeth and learned a few things, and he didn't learn most of them to a very high level. He even spent a long time researching on his own to learn a lot of knowledge.
"It's really too expensive..." Lin Yun shook his head.
He could order a basic stock market book from Earth to see how it goes, and he could even buy an intermediate one if he had the guts... but the advanced one...
Lin Yun shook his head; that was basically out of the question.
With those ten thousand spiritual crystals, what couldn't he buy?
Xinglan then continued to explain to him how to deal with Tianyu Group.
Lin Yun's eyes sparkled as he listened.
He wanted to look up and test many things immediately.
A beginner's book on the stock market allowed him to easily understand the strategies Xinglan taught. This is the charm of knowledge, something that many owners of the Cosmic Trading System both love and hate. They want to learn a lot of knowledge, but this method of learning is simply too expensive at the official price of the Cosmic Trading System.
