Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 155 Second Senior Sister's Heart is So Dirty
"Can it still be like this?"

Shanhu was pleasantly surprised as she listened to Zhao Qing's introduction.

If he could, he would certainly prefer to exchange for more and more complete items. After all, the human race is numerous and extremely skilled in ingenuity and crafts, with countless interesting gadgets. Even a few plates and bowls fired in human towns are considered "treasures" among the Quanxian tribe!
The transaction method described by Zhao Qing, apart from requiring the use of Taiyin Sect's currency, is almost entirely advantageous to him!
However, there were many things he didn't quite understand, so Coral humbly asked, "What is...offshore settlement?"

"The so-called 'offshore' refers to transactions outside the jurisdiction of the Taiyin Sect. 'Offshore settlement' refers to transactions outside the jurisdiction of the Taiyin Sect. Our requirement to use the Taiyin Sect's currency is mainly for the convenience of management,"

Without batting an eye, Zhao Qing began to spout nonsense: "Fellow Daoist, think about it. Our Taiyin Sect is rich in resources and has a wide variety of products. If we trade everything using Sea Spirit Pearls or Spirit Stones, we'll eventually accumulate more and more Spirit Stones or Sea Spirit Pearls. And as we can't use them all, they'll depreciate! So, you should first sell your Quanxian Clan's specialties and exchange them for our Taiyin Sect's money. Then use that money to buy what your Quanxian Clan needs. That way, the Sea Spirit Pearls or Spirit Stones won't depreciate!"

"Of course, fellow Daoist must also be worried that such a large batch of goods will end up being exchanged for a bunch of things that no one other than our Taiyin Sect recognizes. What if we don't recognize them either? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
"That's the logic, but it's simply impossible!"

"First of all, put everything else aside, look at our huge city of Chang'an right here. You can run away, but you can't hide. If we cheat your Quanxian clan, how will we do business with others in the future? That's not worth it, is it?"
"Furthermore, the money you earn from selling goods can be used to buy back the goods you need on the same day, which means there is almost no risk."

"Finally, fellow Daoist, you see, in our place, demon cultivators roam freely and mortals are everywhere. Only a place with guaranteed morality can have such a prosperous scene! Therefore, there is absolutely nothing to worry about in offshore settlement of our Taiyin Sect's currency!"

Coral nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, as you said, we can easily exchange everything for goods!"

Many players who heard Zhao Qing's entire statement began to complain in the world chat:
"Second Senior Sister is so ruthless!"

"Haven't seen you for a few days, Second Senior Sister, why do you smell like crispy fried rabbit?"

"Luckily, I studied basic economics in college, otherwise I would have really been fooled by my senior sister!"

"Isn't this the same dirty trick that Ah Meili next door used back then?"

"Question Amei, understand Amei, become Amei, Wuhu!"

"Damn it! We've all become the very thing we used to hate.jpg"

The Jade Emperor was also watching the drama unfold on the world channel, but since he majored in science and engineering, he knew nothing about humanities, especially economics. So he asked in bewilderment, "What are you talking about? Didn't Second Sister make some sense?"

"Silly kid, let's add each other as friends. I'll sell you health supplements when you're old!"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Could this be a goofy and adorable college student?"

"Damn it! You saw right through me!"

Players were buzzing with discussion, most expressing a strong, albeit hypocritical, contempt for Zhao Qing's words and actions—feigning disdain while inwardly cheering, "Well done!" Of course, there were also players spouting witty remarks:

"Second Senior Sister's heart is so dirty! I love it! Ah~"

What the players didn't know was that just a few minutes ago, Zhao Qing didn't even understand the meaning of the so-called 'offshore settlement of Taiyin Sect currency'!

"Well done, Xiao Zhao. You guys should set up another 'International Trade Zone'. You can change the name in the game. In short, you need to formulate different economic policies for different forces. You must first stabilize the trade zone of the Izumi clan. If we don't strive for the status of international reserve currency as soon as possible, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. The lessons of Blue Star's history are right there for us!"

In Zhao Qing's field of vision, a chat message box that was completely different from the style of the game "Ten Continents Chronicle" popped up; it was a third-party chat software.

The person instructing Zhao Qing on how to speak was none other than Aunt Wang, who had temporarily come to help out by working overtime!

It's no wonder this matter alarmed Aunt Wang; the opportunity to trade with the Quanxian clan was simply too important!

The Quanxian Clan is an extremely powerful race among all the Ten Continents and Three Islands. Unlike the demon race, which has many followers and is a disorganized bunch, the Quanxian Clan, although mostly living alone, can easily transmit their voices over thousands of miles due to their unique way of communicating with their divine sense and their powerful cultivation talent. Adult Quanxian Clan members start with the Golden Core stage of cultivation, making them almost like the darlings of the Heavenly Dao!
This is also why, although the human cultivators coveted the various resources and specialties of the Quanxian Clan, they dared not use forceful means—they couldn't beat them, they really couldn't beat them!
Once a stable trade relationship is established with the Quanxian Clan, it means that the Taiyin Sect has firmly established its economic position in the entire Ten Continents and Three Islands!

At this point, if we could also establish rules for offshore settlement of Taiyin Sect currency, we could elevate Taiyin Sect currency to the status of a recognized reserve currency...

Its power is no less than that of several large mushroom bombs!
Aunt Wang even gave a very serious minimum standard: no matter what price the Quanxian tribe offers, even if it means losing money, the rule of offshore settlement of Taiyin Sect currency must be established, and the trade model with the Quanxian tribe must be set as a model!
Bai Chenxue knew nothing about economics, so she secretly asked in a private chat, "Second Senior Sister, why is this 'offshore settlement' thing being emphasized so much?"

Although Zhao Qing had only just begun to understand the various explanations Aunt Wang had given her, it didn't stop her from putting on a show of confidence in front of her beautiful "junior niece," acting as if she knew everything and pointing fingers as she replied, "When the US dollar became the number one international currency, how many countries paid for it? How many countries' interests did it seize? How could it not be important? Once the currency developed by our Taiyin Sect becomes the 'international currency' and 'reserve currency' of another world, the US dollar's yesterday will be our Taiyin Sect's tomorrow!"

"Oh--"

Bai Chenxue suddenly realized, but then hesitated, "But Second Senior Sister, wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?"

"Huh? Why not? We're not Alicia," Zhao Qing replied, deliberately adding vaguely, "Besides, we have people watching us! If there's a problem, someone will stop it!"

Bai Chenxue assumed that Zhao Qing's statement about "someone watching" referred to the system and game rules, and thus felt relieved.

"Ten Continents Chronicles" is now a notorious "baby bus" game. Even doing rooftop parkour at midnight will get you a warning for being morally corrupt, and harassing NPCs will get you locked in a dark room! If there's any real problem, the official team will definitely ban your account!
