280 Free Trade Zone (2/2)
After all, the people who came to the Redemption main hall all already had a goal in mind. Usually, those who came asked whether they had redeemed the item they had their eyes on, or whether they could afford the expensive amount of Contribution Credits.
It was her first time hearing someone else say that the Redemption main hall did not have many things that interested them, and that that was the reason that they had not redeemed anything.
What did his words mean?
Could he be saying that, in the Redemption main hall, almost nothing caught his eye, so he had just come over for nothing!?
Chen Zi herself felt that such a thing was unbelievable, as almost all of the items in the Huatian Palace were considered to be rare treasures in the outside world. Some of the items were even exclusive to the Huatian Palace and could not be found in the outside world at all. Any one of these items were deemed precious!
It could be said that there had never been a time when a Huatian Palace Executor did not redeem an item from the Redemption main hall. Many of them couldn't wait to have more Contribution Credits to redeem more treasures.
But now, someone was telling her that nothing in the Redemption main hall caught his eye. She was amazed that there was actually such a person in the world!
”Uh, what do you want?”
Chen Zi asked, somewhat embarrassed. She did not know what else to say. Most of the time, the Huatian Palace should have anything that Mo Wen wanted.
”Are there things like flowers or grasses and types of medicinal herbs?”
Mo Wen immediately asked the question he had inside. Chen Zi would be more familiar with the Huatian Palace. Maybe she could get him something that would be of use to him.
”Flowers and grasses! Medicinal herbs!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Zi nearly fainted. The Redemption main hall had so much good stuff, yet nothing had caught his eye. Instead, he liked flowers and grasses! If she didn't know that Mo Wen was highly intelligent, she would have suspected this person of being ill.
However, although Mo Wen's question was unorthodox, Chen Zi still thought about it carefully.
”You want to purchase medicinal herbs?”
Chen Zi thought for a moment, then looked at Mo Wen and asked.
”That's right.”
Mo Wen nodded his head, his eyes fixed on Chen Zi.
Could she have any good suggestions?
”In the conventional Redemption main hall, usually there are no medicinal herbs to be redeemed. But, there is a place that may have them. If I remember correctly, I have seen them there once before.”
Chen Zi slightly frowned, struggling to recall in her memories. She usually wouldn't notice things like flowers, grasses, and medicinal herbs. So, even if she happened to see them, she would not have a deep impression of it.
”What place is this?” Mo Wen's eyes flashed, his interest sparking.
Could there really be such a place in the Huatian Palace?
”The Free Trade Zone! I remember seeing it there once,” Chen ZI said.
”Free Trade Zone?” Mo Wen looked incredulously at Chen Zi. He seemed to have never heard of such a place.
”Yes, the Free Trade Zone! Follow me, I'll explain along the way.”
As she said this, Chen Zi pulled Mo Wen's sleeve, changed direction, then headed down a long corridor. Along the way, Chen Zi told Mo Wen about the Free Trade Zone.
The so-called Free Trade Zone was like a free trade marketplace. However, the people who did business there were all Huatian Palace Executors. So, the currency used for business in the Free Trade Zone was also Contribution Credits.
Based on what Chen Zi told him, the Executors in the Huatian Palace had complicated personal relationships and intricate backgrounds, covering almost all of the factions in the entire ancient martial arts world. Aside from being a Huatian Palace Executor, everyone had another identity.
With such complicated personal relationships and intricate backgrounds, came the trade of special interests and, gradually over time, a market was formed. For instance, a Huatian Palace Executor, who was previously a direct disciple of the Medicine King Valley, could obtain many pills and medicinal herbs from the Medicine King Valley.
Then, he could use his connections to ship the Medicine King Valley's resources to the Huatian Palace and trade with other Executors in the Huatian Palace. There were many methods of trade. Some bartered goods directly, some directly traded Contribution Credits. Some could even directly trade with a promise, while some could trade with assets from the outside world.
Hence, regardless of what the item was, if it had value, then it could be traded in the Free Trade Zone.
