BXBX NOVEL Chapter 364 I Am Void Lord
"Prohibit trading?" Hikaru saw the information board and frowned, he asked Rika: "Does this card have any limits?"
[No, master. This card does not have any quantity or space restrictions.]
[It's just… it's limited to one type of object. Objects like this that are managed by the system, no matter where they are, will be affected by the effects of this card.]
Hikaru made a mysterious smile upon hearing that. He held the card in his hand, and thought of something.
Rika didn't bother him either, as she silently waited for his next command.
Hikaru tapped his index finger on the table, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Then he suddenly used the card.
[Ding! Please select the object to ban the transaction.]
"Prohibit all players from dealing with natives, except me."
[Ding! The ban has been used successfully.]
[Ding! Any Player in this universe cannot trade with the natives.]
[Ding! Users of this card will not be affected by the ban.]
Hikari saw the notice board that the ban had been successfully implemented and breathed a sigh of relief.
[Master, why are you doing this?]
"To monopolize trading with the natives and build conflict between them." Hikaru laughed.
[Conflict?]
"That's right. Rika, did you know that all relationships are built on benefits."
"If there isn't any benefit to be exchanged between two complete strangers, do you think they could become allies?"
"The answer is no."
"If the Players can't trade what they have with the natives and vice versa, then there isn't any reason to cooperate with each other."
"When there's no reason to cooperate, then they can't become allies. After all, there isn't any interest to exchange between them."
"If you are not an ally, you can only become an enemy. Even if the players don't actively attack the natives, there will definitely be conflicts between them."
[You mean… resource dispute?]
"That's right. Even if the Players and the inhabitants of this world don't actively quarrel with each other, it doesn't mean they will live in peace."
"Players can't just get resources from the system, they also have to get resources from this world. The World Will treats the Players as parasites, and it wants to destroy them because the Players will certainly cause harm to the world."
"The way players can harm this world is that they can scavenge resources and kill other races to get more resources."
"I don't believe that they can rely on the resources the system provides for survival. Currently, the system is down, so their only resource is the Treasure Chest."
"But they are not always lucky enough to be able to find a Treasure Chest."
[This means… The person who benefits the most is you, master. A middleman capable of helping both the Player and the natives trade with each other.]
"That's right. At that time, I can manipulate the entire market of Players and Residents of this world."
"A wonderful move, isn't it?"
[That's right. But… in order to do that, you must become the greatest intermediary. Not only do you have to act as a middleman, but you also have to produce a huge amount of goods.]
[As much as enough to supply both the Player and the local residents. Of course, to do that, you need a huge human resource.]
Hikaru smiled at that: "Hahaha… of course I know that. The number of mixed-blood people in this world is also very large, so I can use them."
"Besides, wild players aren't bad either. If they need a stable life, then… I will give them the same life."
"An Earth-like life."
"Haizzz, we'll have a lot to do. Rika, you can inform everyone about this plan."
[Hm? Me?]
"That's right, didn't you contact all my women?"
[Heh?! How do you know?]
Hikaru felt amused, he shook his head and said: "Rika, if you don't want others to know, you better not do it. From their expressions, I know you've probably met and talked to them, including Bryen, right?"
[Master, I…]
"No problem. I don't blame you either, that's fine, I don't have to worry about my women having conflicts with each other."
"That's what worries me the most."
[Yes, thank you, master.]
"You are also my woman, don't be so polite."
[Hehehe…]
"Good, I have a lot to discuss with you, Rika. What do you think of an Idol group?"
[Idol? What do you mean?]
Hikaru said with a smile, "Hm… do you feel that after I returned from the trial space, many Players worship Saraya like their goddess."
"Perhaps a notice saying that the Void Lord's domain is a safe place to live isn't as appealing as the fact that this is where Saraya lives, right?"
[Looks like everything will be as you say. Currently, up to 200 million Players know about Saraya.]
"The number is too big. When will the mixed-blood group come to this place?"
[About 2 more days.]
"Hm… how is the progress of the construction of the mines?"
[We have Completed construction of the mining area of 4 resource mines.]
"That is enough. With the number of mixed-bloods coming to this place, it would be difficult to fill all four of those resources."
"Perhaps… we'll get a small number of Players to work with inside our territory."
"However, we also cannot let them do normal things. We will use the Quest Hall."
"Rika, tell Anno and Bryen to prepare the Quest Hall for the operation."
"Shala and Lori will temporarily be in charge of tutoring the illiterate mixed-bloods."
"Narita will assist anyone who has problems. Besides, I need him to quickly complete the elementary school curriculum."
"Norra also needs a new law for the territory quickly, besides, I need a law for basic education."
[Yes, master.]
"Ah! Let's have Shala sum up the number of players who treat Saraya as a goddess. They will be the first group of Players to enter this territory after my ban."
[Master, are you sure?]
"Hahaha… Don't worry. I plan to debut Saraya, so that she becomes a goddess in the hearts of the Players."
"However, Saraya alone won't be enough, I need someone else… Hm… Fellea, tell Fellea that I will need her. I don't want to make her a useless person either."
"After all, Fellea needs faith to survive, right?"
[That's right. Although Fellea doesn't need faith to survive, however, if she has faith energy, she can become stronger.]
"Good! Let's do what I just said first, I'll deal with the other problems later."
After saying that, Hikaru leaned back, as he was leaning on the back of his chair he looked at the second card.
…
Name: Illusion Realization Card
Type: Disposable
Description: After using this card, you can turn the illusions of your thoughts into reality.
The duration and area of effect of the illusion are proportional to the magic power of the user.
…
Hikaru saw this card and smiled in satisfaction, he decided to use the skill [Void Create], and sacrifice the card "illusion reality", with the Greenhouse and Lighthouse drawings.
[Ding! Would you like to sacrifice the "Illusion Realization" card, the Greenhouse drawing, and the Lighthouse drawing?]
"Yes!"
[Ding! Fusion begins.]
[Ding! Successful fusion. You have received a new drawing.]
…
Name: Perfect simulation.
Description: You can simulate an environment to perfection. Everything like heat, wind, sunlight, land can also be simulated in its entirety.
The range that "Perfect Simulation" covers depends on the power source provided by the user.
…
Hikaru saw this drawing and smiled. This will be something that can change this foggy age.
However, only his domain could do this.
"Remove the illusion of the Greenhouse."
[Ding! Successfully aborted.]
"Using (Perfect Simulation)."
[Ding! This is a special type of drawing, to use it you need to provide soulpoint and elemental stone to maintain its effect.
The more soul points and elemental stones you provide, the longer "Perfect Simulation" can last.]
"I want to maintain it for 100 years, the perfect simulation will cover the main area of the Lord's house and the official residential area."
[Ding! To use the perfect simulation for 100 years, you need to pay 100 Starpoints, and 100 billion Elemental Stones each.]
Hikaru saw the required amount and took a deep breath. Currently, the Lucky Dice was not fully charged, so he could only wait.
"So… I want to use a perfect simulation for 1 year."
[Ding! To use the simulation perfectly for 1 year, you need to pay 1 Starpoint, and 1 billion Elemental Stones each.]
"Agree to pay!"
[Ding! Simulation starts… simulation successful.]
Hikaru also didn't think that the price the "Perfect Simulation" offered was expensive. As far as he knew, the Perfect Simulation possessed all the best functions of the three things Hikaru had sacrificed.
That means… the entire space that "Perfect Simulation" covers will be similar to Earth.
As long as the ground is the same as the Earth, then he can develop agriculture over the entire territory. Of course, in addition to developing agriculture, he can also do many other things.
…
Outside, at the informal residential area. This is the place for the remaining players before the ban was announced.
There are about 400 Players living in this place. Here, the street is a bit dirty because no one cleans it, and life is extremely chaotic.
It's just… when there's a fight, the security team cares.
It can be said that this is the Misty World version of the slum.
The Players who felt the sky suddenly turn dark, immediately looked up at the sky.
"What the hell?! Has the sky disappeared?"
"Fog?! Did something happen to the Void Lord?"
"Impossible! NPCs die too?"
"No! I think the Void Lord is maintaining the dome that protects this place. In a little while, the sky will appear."
"Ah! That's how it is…"
The players were chatting when a voice filled with majesty and mysticism echoed and it made others want to kneel on the ground and listen respectfully.
"I am Void Lord."
