As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 190 The Distribution Network About to Be Launched

This was also a question that had puzzled Xu Yan for a long time.

Logically speaking, since even the skeleton soldiers of the Illusionary Demon Civilization and the slugs of the Beast Taming Civilization can leave behind life information and transform into remnants of the past,

Even mechanical objects that were originally lifeless, and even swords and iron sandbags with structures a hundred times simpler than mechanical objects, can be influenced by the life magnetic field of humans through long-term interaction with humans, and transform into remnants of the past after the annihilation of civilization.

There's no reason why so many powerful figures from the Era of Heroes wouldn't be able to transform into Heroic Spirits after death.

If we're talking about intense resentment, obsession, expectation, or even hatred, Xu Yan doesn't believe that the spirits of all things in this era are much less than those of ordinary people in the ancient era.

However, having been in the Heroic Spirit Alliance for so long, he had inquired in many ways, but had not heard of any Heroic Spirits being born in this era.

Even when the Emperor's Banner was stretched to its limit after killing countless heinous villains, it was still unable to extract even a single wisp of their souls.

This is truly bizarre.

Is it possible that the remnants of the past, like oil and coal, require a time span of tens or even hundreds of millions of years to be born, and that this is a necessary condition for their creation?

Xu Yan plans to study this issue slowly after he has completely established himself in the Heroic Spirit Alliance and gained more power and resources.

If Xiong Tieshan truly wishes to abandon his frail body and survive independently with unwavering willpower, he can then participate in the research together.

Let's see if Xu Yan can extract his three souls and seven spirits from his aging, decaying body, and, while preserving most of his memories and free will, mold them into guardian spirits or something.

Of course, the most important thing right now is the second-hand card distribution business.

Xu Yan told Xiong Tieshan that after several months of intensive renovation, the second-hand card street in Rolling Stone Fortress had been completely transformed. Only Li Tong, the owner of Xingxing Store, was following his lead, and he could replicate the complete and fair second-hand card distribution system in Dawn City at any time.

The junkyards of more than a dozen satellite towns surrounding Dawn City have gradually fallen under the control of the Mad Cat Gang, who can obtain a batch of decent-quality scrap cards and a small amount of extraordinary materials at very low prices.

As for the technical aspects...

Including Rolling Stone Fortress, each satellite town already had a group of highly skilled card makers who could repair both black iron civilian cards and low-level bronze cards without any problem.

When encountering difficult or complicated problems, you can also solve them yourself.

In addition, Ms. Lelena of the Rolling Stone Club was very interested in the business after learning about it and proposed to invest in it with a combination of capital and technology.

Ms. Lelena, who inherited the entire business of the big boss, is still quite wealthy.

Her skills were renowned throughout the area surrounding Dawn City and even in the vast wilderness.

Moreover, she is very friendly to the Garbage Bugs and is willing to teach them card-making techniques without expecting anything in return.

Initially, Xu Yan was not really keen on having Ms. Leiliana involved in the secondhand card distribution business.

It wasn't that he was afraid the Black Dream Organization would infiltrate Dawn City along this line—frankly, he was actually hoping they would do so so he could monitor them closely and find clues about the Black Dream Organization's new commander and the Wanhun Sect's token.

The problem is that when the Black Dream organization actually launches its operation and the Security Bureau launches a large-scale crackdown, it's easy for collateral damage to occur.

However, after hearing about this, Long Jianhuan was also very interested in Xu Yan's plan. He believed that the cheap and good second-hand cards would greatly benefit the livelihood of the lower class in Dawn City and would indirectly improve the security environment of Dawn City.

The shrewd and resourceful Ms. Lelena appears to have played a significant role in stabilizing the situation at Rolling Stone recently.

He gained the unanimous recognition and trust of Long Jianhuan and the entire Rolling Stone Fortress patrol team.

Deputy Captain Long is willing to vouch for Ms. Leiliana.

And let the Rolling Stones patrol team get involved too.

Then Xu Yan had nothing to worry about.

He wasn't a stingy person who would cling to his money. His career was just starting out, so naturally he wanted to make as many friends as possible.

Making money is secondary; what's important is connections and intelligence.

In any case, the most crucial element of the second-hand card distribution business is the talisman-making technique he brought from the cultivation world.

This is something that no one can take away.

Having more shareholders, and being able to simultaneously establish connections with the Black Dream Organization, the Security Bureau, and the God of Death Path, would be more beneficial than harmful to his long-term development.

Xiong Tieshan had spent most of his life in the industry.

Even though I have never been a distributor of sealed cards.

However, the tactics used to distribute nutrient solutions and enhancement potions are not fundamentally different from those used to distribute sealing cards.

Having lost to Xu Yan, he accepted his defeat and readily agreed to cooperate, immediately pointing out some problems in Xu Yan's distribution plan.

He also promised Xu Yan that he could introduce him to several influential supporters and sympathizers of the Absolute God Path in Dawn City.

If the opportunity arises, I can also introduce him to other cardless players and believers of the Absolute God Path in other towns.

In fact, Xiong Tieshan, who had lived in the border area for most of his life, was more acutely aware of the crisis than Xu Yan.

With mineral veins dwindling and the economy declining, the long-term stagnation of the Alliance's borders has led to widespread discontent and alienation among the "quasi-citizens" in the outer planning zones. There are also rampant bandit gangs roaming the wilderness and unknown threats lurking deep within the polluted areas.

All of this exudes the oppressive atmosphere of an impending storm.

Although the past few decades have been dull, at least the peaceful and good days seem to be coming to an end soon.

At this critical juncture, everyone from major powers to ordinary citizens is trying every possible means to increase their strength.

However, an opportunity is still needed to announce the cooperation between Crazy Iron Club and Rolling Stones' second-hand card company.

Ideally, the advertising effect should be maximized.

At the same time, avoid direct conflict with the three major spirit card clubs.

At the very least, we cannot engage in conflict with three companies simultaneously.

In that case, it would be best if Hou Zhijian and Xiong Rulong could win one or two more rounds.

Xiong Tieshan had been following the schedules of both players.

Their opponent tomorrow isn't too strong.

The previous rounds of the competition were all bumpy, with injuries compounded and physical exertion being extremely high.

If their luck isn't completely terrible, both of them have a chance to advance to the next round, which is the final round of the top 32.

However, once you make it into the top 32, you'll be facing experienced and skilled opponents, so there's no chance of getting easy wins.

Xu Yan's heart moved.

He told Xiong Tieshan about his discovery.

Of course, he didn't mention that he crawled into the sewer.

He only said that he had gone to the Shattered Star Club to scout out the "enemy situation" and found that the Shattered Star Club had a huge conflict of interest with the other two high-end clubs, and was also suspected of abusing banned drugs.
