They continued their journey without engaging in any more large-scale transactions, only acquiring some basic supplies in small, scattered exchanges.
Many people expressed interest in the fat man's stone golem, but none offered a price that satisfied the two.
"This is truly the first time I've seen so many lords in the Trial World. It feels like everywhere I look are floating islands!" the fat man said, looking at the densely packed floating islands around him, deeply shocked.
“A low percentage doesn’t mean a low base. Hundreds of thousands of new lords are still born worldwide every year; it’s just that many more die!” Ye Chen sighed.
Only half of those who successfully pass the trials of the Trial World and become official lords actually make up half.
And after truly entering the dark world, there are still a large number of deaths every year.
Although there are now many protective measures in place, every year there are still many lords whose territories collapse and die in the darkness.
On television, we often see news of certain well-known, long-established lords dying while guarding a dark world.
"Brother Chen, it's rare to be so excited, can you please not talk about such sad topics?" the fat man said with a resentful look.
"That's true!" Ye Chen shrugged, realizing that saying such things at this moment would really ruin the atmosphere.
"Hey! It looks like people from the Myriad Things Pavilion over there. Have they gathered five floating islands?" The fat man, regaining his spirits, pointed to the center of the trade fair and said, where several floating islands were connected together, each bearing the unique flag of the Myriad Things Pavilion.
"It should be. Not just them, but they should all be people from major conglomerates!" Ye Chen nodded and pointed to some other floating islands nearby.
Those floating islands were clustered in groups of three or five, and each one was marked with the flags of various conglomerates. At a rough glance, there were at least five conglomerates, and that only included the lords within at least ten thousand miles.
"Do you think these tycoons might have some good stuff to trade?" the fat man asked curiously.
"They definitely exist, but whether we can buy them is another matter!" Ye Chen shrugged. These large conglomerates must have cooperative relationships, and the truly good stuff only circulates within their own circles.
"Okay! Hopefully we can make some money tomorrow."
"Then quickly run away!"
"Run away?"
"What else? Wait for someone to come and rob us?"
"Uh... really?"
"That depends on how good your stuff is!"
"Ouch~~ What you said is scaring me~"
"Don't be afraid! If anyone comes to take it, I'll leave you behind to cover our retreat!"
"..."
The night passed quickly, and the two slept soundly, soon welcoming the next day's trading session.
With the arrival of the trade fair, the number of floating islands around has increased, and some lords temporarily hired by the World Tower have begun to help maintain order.
Even their territory is equipped with large loudspeakers provided by the Wanwu Tower, allowing them to hear the latest news from the Wanwu Tower in a timely manner.
"Dear lords, please dock at your respective territories as instructed. Afterwards, someone will lead you to the central floating island for the transaction! Rest assured, the Wanwu Tower will ensure your safety during the transaction and will never allow you to be harmed."
"Dear lords, please dock at your respective territories as instructed. Afterwards, someone will lead you to the central floating island for the transaction! Rest assured, the Wanwu Tower will ensure your safety during the transaction and will never allow you to be harmed."
...
The announcements from the Tower of All Things played on a loop. A lord who was assisting in maintaining order came to Ye Chen and his companions and guided them to dock their floating island.
"Let's go! So far, I haven't heard of anyone getting into trouble at the Wanwu Tower trade fair!" Ye Chen said with a smile, seeing the slightly worried look on the fat man's face.
Leaving behind many of his clans to guard the territory, Ye Chen, along with four disguised Yue'e and the fat man, set foot on the other side's floating island.
"Don't worry, all four of them have advanced to higher levels. Even if something unexpected happens, they can definitely lead us out!" Ye Chen said softly, reassuring the slightly uneasy fat man beside him.
Although the Tower of All Things claims to guarantee everyone's safety, it is, after all, stepping onto someone else's floating island, so safety must still be in one's own hands.
However, there is a rule prohibiting fighting. If a conflict arises between clans, it must be resolved after leaving the territory of the Myriad Things Pavilion. Otherwise, both clans involved in the conflict will be detained.
"Hmm!" Looking at the four graceful figures wrapped in animal skin cloaks beside him, the fat man nodded slightly. Yue'e's strength was currently almost invincible.
Unless a high-ranking race such as angels or dragons intervenes, they will only be easy prey in front of Yue'e.
"Hehe! Feeling uneasy? Don't worry! It's alright! The reputation of Wanwulou is guaranteed. So far, I haven't heard of anyone getting into trouble at Wanwulou's trade fairs!" The leader, a tall and thin lord, said to the two with a smile.
"I'm worried because I haven't heard of it!" the fat man muttered, but fortunately, no one except Ye Chen could hear what he was saying.
Ye Chen smiled, stepped in front of him, and exchanged pleasantries with him familiarly, "That's right, I haven't heard of any problems with the transactions at Wanwu Tower."
"Hey! That's it! Go ahead and make the deal!" the other party laughed loudly.
The floating island was very fast; in just a few words, they arrived at the central floating island.
Looking around, the five floating islands are all quite large, each about fifty acres in size, roughly the same size as Ye Chen's current location.
