Chapter 548 The arrival of more races!
Soon, this inquiry about "civilization points" was delivered to the government office in Green City.
Lu Yuan was enthusiastically discussing the writing of "The Great Book of Greed" with the craftsmen.
The current lineup of craftsmen in Green City is quite luxurious. In addition to him, a grandmaster, there are two epic-level craftsmen, and there are 11 legendary-level craftsmen! Everyone is very enthusiastic about publishing a book, and they have endless wonderful ideas, and they can't wait to write the book the next day.
"Oh, old cat, what happened... is that so? I see."
After receiving the notice, Lu Yuan came out of the room.
With a meaningful look on his face, he called the secretary's office.
"I guessed that they already knew about the existence of civilization points. Fortunately, they didn't say it directly."
"Now that they have taken the initiative to propose this condition, the initiative is in our hands..."
"Yes, we were also shocked when they asked for information in this regard." The young secretary wiped the sweat off his face while on the phone. "I didn't expect that they even knew the information about the third-level civilization... This place is really chaotic."
Lu Yuan laughed: "Don't be nervous, we didn't defraud them, everything is fair."
"Tell me, everyone, how much spiritual charm should be converted into a bit of luck?"
"'Luck' is a priceless treasure. It can do things that spiritual energy cannot do, but generally speaking, there is still a conversion ratio." Soon, the secretarial team gave a reply.
"If we use 'Harvest Blessing' to convert it, 0.1 of Luck can accelerate the growth of plants by 50 years, and the extra output in these 50 years can be as high as 500-800 points of spiritual charm. This means that 1 point of 'Luck' can be converted into 5,000-8,000 units of spiritual charm. But this requires 50 years of time and extraordinary plants with relatively high output. Our city has been traveling all over the country to collect for so long, and there are only a few dozen extraordinary plants that can withstand the Harvest Blessing."
Lu Yuan nodded. The time cost and the number of extraordinary plants are naturally also considered as a kind of cost.
This extremely high conversion ratio is difficult to expand.
The voice on the other end of the phone continued, "If you use the 'Earthquake Glyph Combination' to control a volcanic eruption, 1.22's luck can control a volcanic eruption and spew out a certain amount of underground ore."
"It's hard to say how much ore we can pick up. It depends on the geographical location of the eruption."
"According to the records of the Source Fire Civilization, they caused the volcano to erupt 12 times in total, and the ore they picked up was worth about 150 spiritual charms. The average harvest each time was 12.4 spiritual charms."
"It's so little... The price-performance ratio is too poor compared to 'Harvest Blessing'." Lu Yuan frowned. The conversion ratio of the volcanic eruption is about 1 point of luck to 10 points of spiritual charm.
The price-performance ratio is simply hellish, and obviously no one is willing to do it.
"No, you're wrong. In fact, it's still quite cost-effective." The doctor on the phone said quickly, "Most of the ores brought by volcanic eruptions are below the rare level, but occasionally there are legendary or even higher-level materials."
"In the current Pangu Continent, after so many eras, it is basically impossible to pick up such high-grade materials. You can either get them from strange phenomena, or you can only let volcanoes erupt and fish some from the depths of the earth's core."
Lu Yuan nodded: "I understand. The cost-effectiveness of 'Earth Shock' actually depends on the location of the shock. If the location is relatively poor, the ratio is basically 1:10, and you can only harvest some ordinary ores."
"But if the location is good and a legendary or even epic item appears, then you can make a fortune. A legendary item costs hundreds or thousands of yuan, and an epic item may cost five or six thousand yuan."
“That’s right!”
"In addition, our civilization can also use 'luck' to create multiple spiritual runes. This thing is a pure consumable and has no output, so it can't be measured by spiritual charm."
"The recently developed dream technology also uses a small amount of luck to enhance the computing power of the poppy tree... This is also difficult to convert."
Lu Yuan nodded. The technology of Spiritual Runes was very good and it was even useful in the battle against ghosts.
As for dream technology, it is also priceless.
"In summary, we believe that in civilization trade, the conversion ratio of luck to spiritual charm is 1:10, which is a relatively normal ratio. Of course, this is limited to transactions between level 3 civilizations and level 2 civilizations. It is unlikely that more advanced civilizations will exchange civilization points for luck."
“If the power gap widens, the transaction ratio will change more significantly.”
Lu Yuan asked: "If the lowest level of civilization collects luck, can it be converted into spiritual charm?"
Civilization points can exist in the form of pale yellow crystals, which are difficult to use.
Normal life cannot absorb this thing, and neither can various equipment.
After the spiritual charm is materialized, the crystal appears silvery white and its use is relatively wide and simple.
After discussing for a while, the person on the other end of the phone replied, "We think it's still possible. By destroying the conversion glyphs of extraordinary equipment, we can convert civilization points into spiritual charm. However, the ratio is pitifully low. About 1 point of 'luck' can be converted into 3-5 points of spiritual charm."
“It’s so low.”
"If a civilization truly understands the value of civilization points, it generally won't do this."
Lu Yuan pondered for a while: "The civilizations here are basically first-level civilizations. What do you think?"
"We believe that in this place, all information will circulate quickly, and we cannot squeeze it too hard. So 1:30-1:50 is a reasonable ratio."
"Let's give them a 1:50 ratio for now... If we want to make a big profit, word of mouth is still very important. Give them this ratio. We must get more civilizations involved."
1:50 was the number Lu Yuan came up with after preliminary consideration.
"Commander-in-chief, if they have too many civilization points, we may not have enough goods." The doctor on the other end of the phone had a bitter face. The ratio was 1:50.
If the other party pays 100 civilization points, humans have to pay 5,000 Lingyun goods! If it is 10,000 civilization points, it has to pay 500,000 Lingyun! This number is too exaggerated, and the small Green City cannot afford it.
However, Lu Yuan sneered: "Do you underestimate the value of 'Civilization Points'? If they can afford thirty or fifty thousand, we can sell all the small caves!"
"As long as they have money, we can sell them anything! We can even sell them the technology of a Level 3 civilization. Are they still afraid that they can't afford it?"
"You must remember that civilization points are everything in the future!"
"Even divine skills can be sold! The blood of the Greedy Demon God can be sold! Legendary equipment can also be sold!"
"And we are also developing the most advanced field industry. If they dare to buy, we dare to sell!"
He even secretly thought about finding an opportunity to copy the best-selling divine skills and sell them - although copying divine skills takes time and consumes "luck", as long as he can make money, it's fine! Of course, this matter must be kept secret from humans. He wants to make a fortune... Greedy Demon God, poor!
"Don't worry about humans not having the goods, just worry about you not being able to pay!"
The doctors on the other end of the phone were obviously shocked by this generosity.
"Understood! I'll give them a reply right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan was just about to go back to discuss the craftsmen’s forging matters.
The communicator rang again, and I saw that it was from the military.
"What is it?"
"Report to the commander-in-chief! Another race has come to our place. They may be here to pick up trash. They are riding a kind of bird-like creature that looks similar to the Rize civilization. They are a group of lizardmen."
Lu Yuan's heart suddenly soared. The more races that came here, the better!
"Let them land in the reception area. Send the strongest Overlord to capture them!"
"Yes, sir!"
…
…
“Hahaha! Here we are, here we are!”
"My lord, the advanced ruins that appeared out of nowhere are ahead!"
This group of lizardmen rode five-meter-long birds and crossed several snow-capped mountains. The moment they saw their destination, they were so excited that even their eyes were red.
Looking down from the sky, the densely packed buildings came into view, especially the dazzling array of electric cars, which glowed silvery white in the sun. All of a sudden, the hearts of these lizards began to beat like a volcanic eruption! At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the crisis and drove the big bird wildly in the air.
"Quick, charge!!"
"Wow!"
However, the good times did not last long. As the distance gradually shortened, they saw the true appearance of the ground.
"This city isn't that big... Why are there so many bugs... Are you... Are you sweeping the snow?"
“And there are so many robots!”
The uneasy feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger. In an instant, three bolts of lightning flashed across the ground and shot straight up into the sky!
"Oh no! There's danger! Retreat quickly!" The lizardman leaders were shocked.
They were instantly frightened and their scales stood up, and a strong sense of crisis burst out from the bottom of their hearts.
Three terrifying golden creatures were seen hovering in mid-air, staring at them quietly. The terrifying aura was released wantonly, as if they were piglets that could be slaughtered at any time.
"My lord... Level 12... Level 12 extraordinary life!" A lizard soldier widened his eyes and tried to comfort the panicked bird under his crotch.
"Prepare for battle!" the Lizardman leader shouted.
"brush!"
All the soldiers took out a crossbow made of wood, aimed at the king insect, and pulled the trigger tightly!
The arrowhead of the crossbow was still emitting a faint red light, and it was obvious that the word "sharp" was engraved on it.
But they didn't have the slightest sense of security in their hearts. What was the concept of a level 12 life? Normally, level 6 fire was the upper limit of regular life. Unless they spent a lot of effort to develop the field, they could only climb to level 7.
As a result, a level 12 life suddenly appeared. This was beyond their cognition! "Ara!" King Insect·Lu Da roared fiercely, and a gray light bloomed. This was the natural field of the King Insect, [Field·Insect Mist], which had the function of interfering with perception and causing creatures trapped in the field to fall into a state of perception confusion.
The birds suddenly became even more panicked.
The confrontation between the two sides lasted for half a minute.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The lizardman's scales stood up, and he didn't dare to fire the crossbow rashly.
Something unexpected happened again. The three golden humanoid creatures actually bowed in the air and took out something like a trumpet: "Hello, distinguished guests. This is Green City. Welcome here!"
"Our king has foreseen your arrival! Please follow us."
The voice was transmitted through a translator at the back so that the other party could understand it.
The lizardmen were shocked: "This place... actually has an owner..."
"Then...then wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
"My king, what should I do?"
"Follow me."
The oppressive feeling of the King Insect was too strong, and they had no choice but to control the bird and slowly landed on the edge of Green City.
"Whoa—" The bird reached the ground.
"This is the external reception area of my city. On the left is the cafeteria, next to it is the bathhouse, and on the right is the entertainment area and the residential area..." The King Insect was not good at speaking, so the voice from the loudspeaker introduced things for him, which left the group of lizards stunned.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the square, they saw a group of old acquaintances talking loudly there, and they were old rivals - the Ulan tribe! The soldiers from the two cities of the Ulan tribe were in a state of excitement, dancing and clapping.
They just got the news that humans are willing to offer a super high price of 1:50. To be honest, this ratio has far exceeded their psychological expectations! You know, the price offered by the dwarves is only 1:10, and no more than 1:15... But here it is 1:50, which is really too generous! It is so generous that they can't wait to sell all their "luck"! Even though they know that civilization points are very precious, Green City will definitely make money if they trade it out like this... But so what? Trading is originally a win-win situation. They are the weaker party, and it is already very good to get this price! There are thousands of weak civilizations, and there is only one polite and powerful civilization.
They didn't even want to bargain, for fear of angering the other party.
"Haha, with this conversion, I only need 5 points of luck to buy the floating fortress!"
"How much luck do we have? Do the two cities still need to unite? Or we can each buy our own airship."
Once you have money, you don’t want to cooperate anymore. This is also normal in the world.
"Wait, there are other races coming! They are the lizards, damn it!"
Seeing this group of lizards, the Ulan tribe became a little annoyed again, because there were often frictions between the two sides. Once, many soldiers died in the fight for a mine.
"Why... did you come to my human territory!" Tagang glared at them.
"Hmph, we were invited by the local city lord! Why are you here?" The lizardman leader tilted his neck, his heart skipping a beat. Could this really be the territory of the human race?
Aren't they like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
"We...were also invited by the city lord here!"
The two sides quarreled for a few words, and the king insect turned his head, stared at them quietly, and growled.
No matter how big the hatred is, you can't start a war in someone else's home. You can only leave in anger.
After a while, the lizardmen accepted Lu Yuan's invitation and entered the large conference room.
…
At this time, the mentality of the Ulan clan was a little different.
They began to worry that the Lizardmen would buy cannons and destroy their cities.
"What should we do? Do these lizards have enough spiritual charm?"
"They are here to dig up the ruins, so it is impossible for them to carry too much spiritual energy. Don't worry." The Grand Secretary narrowed his eyes and glanced at the confiscated crossbows, arrows and swords.
Tagang, the mayor of Wulan City, said: "We are all human beings. Green City should not sell the cannon to them..."
"No, you're wrong. He is... the greedy demon god. As long as you pay, he will definitely sell the cannon! What about the human race? They have already distanced themselves from it from the beginning!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The two city lords are not fools. In this situation, moral kidnapping will only have a counterproductive effect.
"We have to prepare for the worst. How about buying a few cannons for self-defense?"
This time the negotiations did not last too long, because Lu Yuan already knew the common sense of the North and only needed to verify it a little.
The lizardmen soon came out in a daze, holding a tablet in their hands.
Both parties looked at each other's tablets and opened their mouths, but said nothing.
"Your residential area is here." The King Insect continued to lead the way.
…
After the two sides parted ways, the lizards began to discuss enthusiastically.
"My God, this Green City is so powerful, and they are all human! A little bit of oil and water that comes out of the fingers can make the Ulan tribe stronger."
"What should we do? We are in danger of extinction!" These lizards were extremely worried.
Another large lizard said, "Don't panic. The human race has internal conflicts among themselves! This Green City is from outside. What does it have to do with the Ulan Clan? Don't you see that Green City is still selling things to us?"
“That’s right!”
"I don't think Green City will provide any extra help just because of our human identity. At most, they will give us a preferential price."
"We have to buy cannons!"
In a few words, they made up their minds.
"What about the floating fortress? That thing is really great. Even if we buy a smaller one, we will have a chance to rise."
"Solar panels and warm clothes. I want to buy them, too."
The lizardmen were secretly frightened, but they also felt that this was a good opportunity and wanted to buy in large quantities.
However, they were short of money! So the lizardmen and the Ulan tribe fell into the same trouble. They racked their brains to find out what they could sell.
Then I thought about "luck"! "I wonder how much civilization points can be sold for? I think we have completed some civilization milestones?"
Things in this world are always impermanent.
The powerful dwarf tribe has been planning for so many years, and even spent a lot of money to popularize the method of extracting "civilization points". As a result, they were too impatient and aroused the vigilance of many civilizations.
And at this moment, it actually benefited the outsider Green City.
Of course, the difference between the Lizardmen and the Ulan clan is that they are not human and have never been rescued by the Greedy Demon.
They are always a little wary and want to observe for a while.

(I'm a little stuck. It's not easy to write about farming with so many races. The number of words may be a little less in the next two days.) (End of this chapter)
