“You’re right, but it’s not absolute. In comparison, Chris, who also comes from a noble family, is much more naive. He has already declared that he will never let you become a formal lord!” Si Meng nodded, agreeing with Jian Mengyi’s words, but there are always one or two unexpected things.
"Chris? He's here too?" Ye Chen was stunned. He couldn't understand why this guy was so hostile towards him. At least Lin Hu had a legitimate reason, but you didn't even have one. Just because I'm more handsome than you?
"Hmm! We arrived right after Lin Hu. Of course, it's also because we chose this location well. In order to promote Duobao Trading Network, we specifically picked a busy transportation route with a large flow of people. Most lords coming here will pass through this area!" Si Meng said with a smile.
"Alright, but what does it have to do with him whether I can become a formal lord or not? It's really inexplicable!" Ye Chen shrugged helplessly, looking at the Five Elements Cycle Formation and Inheritance Stele that had been built on his territory, as well as the newly erected Holy Light Shield.
To be honest, the only reason he doesn't want to become a formal lord right now is because he doesn't want to. Otherwise, it would just be a matter of a single thought.
"Who knows! Maybe she's just a bit slow!" Si Meng spread her hands, looking helpless.
In the following days, Ye Chen did not rush to delve deeper into the wasteland planet. Instead, like the other lords, he went to the outside of the wasteland planet every day to fight several rounds, harvesting dark treasure chests and various resources.
Not only them, but all the lords are not in a hurry to invade the wasteland planet. The dark creatures on the outer perimeter are already so strong, how strong will the dark creatures on the planet be? Not to mention, there is also the planet's will resisting.
If you enter a planet without the permission of its will, you will be met with strong resistance. It will not distinguish between invaders and those who are there to help it. As long as you are not a creature of the planet, you will be treated as a heretic and be subjected to all kinds of natural disasters. You might be sitting on a mountaintop enjoying the breeze when a tornado blows in.
Of course, the fact that the dark creatures are too powerful, preventing the lords from truly penetrating the area, is also one of the main reasons. After all, this place is much stronger than Kalan Star, and the lords' retinues, in terms of both quantity and quality, have not yet achieved a qualitative leap.
However, Duobao Trading Network has already taken advantage of these past few days to fully promote itself. With the increase in production in Fatty's territory, most of the lords outside the wasteland planet have now obtained Duobao Trading Discs. In a few more days, everyone will have one. Then, they will continue to promote it to their relatives and friends, and Duobao Trading Network will gradually open up the market in the entire trial space.
"The production capacity is still insufficient! Relying solely on Fatty's goblins to satisfy the hundreds of thousands of new lords in the entire trial space will likely not be enough even by the end of the trial!"
"And it's not just about the Multi-Treasure Trading Disc and maintaining the trading network. My elven population can't keep up, so we need to think of a solution in that regard as well."
Looking at the transaction volume on Duobao Trading Network, Si Meng sighed helplessly.
This is a dilemma that any trading platform will inevitably encounter as its business grows; it's just that Duobao Trading Network grew too fast, causing this dilemma to arrive earlier than expected.
“Fatty, you should allocate some of the goblins to conduct automated research. Every transaction requires human supervision and verification, which is too labor-intensive. The elves of Simeng should not waste time on these trivial matters!” Ye Chen said. If there are not enough people, machines can only make up for it. It’s like the various platforms on Earth. With the development of technology, there are no longer any human customer service representatives. They are all AI-powered idiots.
"Well, okay, I'll let them give it a try!" the fat man said helplessly. His goblins seemed to have a lot of people, but in reality, he always felt the predicament of not having enough manpower.
"Don't be afraid, I'll give you a design idea later, and you can have your goblin study it carefully!" Seeing his expression, Ye Chen comforted him. In this technological age, this kind of automated technology is actually not troublesome, at least much easier than space magic and AI-powered star mechs.
"Alright! That's what I've been waiting for!"
"..."
The Duobao Trading Network issue is easy to resolve; it just requires time. As for Si Meng's lack of manpower, Ye Chen simply waved his hand and sent all the skeletons over.
To be honest, he wasn't very willing to use these creatures that others had forcibly given to him. During this period, he either let them sleep at home or sent them out as cannon fodder, since they wouldn't die anyway.
Using these tireless skeletons to do chores for Simeng was perfect. The skeleton mages even summoned more, and a mighty army of undead stormed into Simeng's territory.
These skeletons are descended from the fallen Celestial Craftsmen, a forging race no less skilled than the dwarves. Besides maintaining the trading network of Duobao Trading Network, they can also make some spare parts for the fat man, since they never get tired.
"But speaking of which, it seems that these skeletons have become a bit restless since we arrived here?" Ye Chen thought to himself, watching the skeletons gradually rise from the ground.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I'm focusing my attention on these skeletons, I realize that the skeletons that have been sleeping underground seem to be a bit restless these days. Every now and then, one or two skeletons will crawl out from underground to wander around, and then bury themselves back down.
Although there were only one or two a day, it was enough to attract Ye Chen's attention. After all, before this, these skeletons had not received any orders and were lying on the ground as if they were dead, dying peacefully.
"Could it be? That lich has come too?" A sudden thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind, and he murmured to himself as he looked at the dark planet in the distance.
These skeletons were once the lich's minions. Now that the skeletons are behaving strangely, the most likely explanation is that the lich has appeared.
"Or perhaps, there's something on the wasteland planet that's particularly attractive to the undead?" Thinking this, Ye Chen turned to look at the fast-sleeping Oros, then shook his head, banishing the idea from his mind.
There's no reason why anything that could attract the attention of skeletons would leave Oros unmoved; compared to them, Oros could be considered the ancestor of the undead.
"So it was that lich again. It seems this planet is more mysterious than I imagined!" Ye Chen thought to himself.
That lich was a new lord left over from previous generations. Because it was corrupted by darkness and could not become a formal lord, but it was unwilling to give up, so it took another path.
Ye Chen didn't know how many contingency plans the other party had set up in the trial space, but the successive appearances of wasteland planets were clearly related to him and a group of people like him.
