53: Chapter 52 The Prosperity of the Cause-and-Effect Trading World

And a series of other various and miscellaneous types of civilizations.

Is the advantage of him, this so-called Lord of Causality, really that great?

After all, it is just a talent opened from a Diamond treasure chest in the trial newbie zone.

The name Diamond treasure chest makes it sound like it's only one Rank higher than a Gold treasure chest.

Perhaps, by the time it reaches the hegemony of dimensional civilizations, Diamond treasure chests will be the norm?

After a moment of thought, the Karma at either end did not give him too much of a sense of alarm.

Well then, it is decided!

The faint blue halo of the fishing point was pulsing like a blue tide, and today's sunken sea treasure chest was opened.

The Power of Causality gushed out, precisely anchoring among thousands of future lines—Gold Rank, skill type.

The golden light burst and faded away.

Inside the box lay a palm-sized thin booklet. The cover was pitch black, with a relief of a vertical pupil in the center, and golden light spots rotating within the pupil.

[Mind's Eye (Gold Rank · Skill Book)]

[After learning, one can activate Divine Sense projection, multitask, access memories, control objects with Divine Sense, launch mental attacks, and construct illusions. The coverage range of Divine Sense is positively correlated with Mental Energy.]

Yang Hang opened it.

An indigo stream of information poured into his consciousness once again. He did not digest it slowly—the Power of Causality extracted a large amount of energy from the energy pool, locked onto the karmic line where "Mind's Eye is cultivated to Major Achievement" in the future lines, and pulled it into the present.

His mind felt as if it had been split open.

Then that crack expanded into a sky.

It turned into a golden mark on his forehead, as if something was about to burst out, but it eventually stopped.

Divine Sense poured out from his crown like a tide.

One thousand miles.

Three thousand miles.

Ten thousand miles.

Every ship, every person, every fish, and every wave within a radius of ten thousand miles flooded into his perception. It was not a blurred outline, but a high-definition, three-dimensional, holographic image with sound and temperature.

He could even perceive simultaneously—

Four thousand nautical miles to the south, some unknown female survivor was lying on the bow of her boat, using her own head to fish for sharks?

In the southwest direction, a small group of several dozen people was planning their next hunting area.

And further away, he saw that in the command cabin of the Revival Society, Zheng Yuanshan was listening to the Chief of Staff's report.

And, President Lu Xingye, the most popular young girl on the Fate Platform at this stage, was taking selfies using the camera function of the Fate Platform, dissatisfied after trying three angles.

All simultaneously.

Multitasking, it truly lived up to its name.

Yang Hang revealed a knowing smile.

The matter of a fake identity was not urgent; through his understanding of Karma, it was revealed that sunken sea treasure chests containing such treasures or artifacts did exist.

Since they existed, he would inevitably obtain one.

He casually set this karmic connection to avoid the trouble of some survivor with heaven-defying luck opening it first.

So far, no duplicate ability Gold sunken sea treasure chests have appeared in the Magic Sea world.

So he had now obtained a capability that he needed at the current stage.

After spending a few minutes familiarizing himself with it, Yang Hang split off a wisp of Divine Sense to anchor onto the data stream of the Cause and Effect Fate Platform, directly using it as a backend monitoring intelligence, setting it to automatic monitoring mode.

Any abnormal fluctuations could be captured by this Divided Soul of his at the first moment.

When encountering urgent and important matters prompted by Karma, it would remind him; otherwise, it would not disturb his main Divine Sense, just like a emotionless working robot.

Besides this, Yang Hang also split off a wisp of Divine Sense to constantly monitor the invitation situation of the visitor mode for users from external civilizations.

This was the top priority among all the things he was currently facing.

After doing all this, he turned around dashingly and walked towards the entertainment area.

The bionic maid had already prepared the game controller and snacks.

Time flowed on.

The stir caused by the leaderboard display gradually subsided. Although Yang Hang had quietly done a major thing behind the scenes, everyone in the Yanhuang Camp active on the Cause and Effect Fate Platform did not know.

The focus of most survivors' communication and discussion within the Fate Platform shifted back to the Karmic Trading Realm.

The Karmic Trading Realm had appeared for less than a day; it was still a fresh, brand-new baby.

Unlike the map positioning and the magic sea compass, which were old treasures that everyone had entered and exited, and gone back and forth countless times with, to the point of numbness.

For this new, fresh baby, everyone's enthusiasm for love and exploration continued to rise unabated.

Very soon.

In the first twenty-four hours after the Karmic Trading Realm went online, the transaction volume on the trading platform exceeded 1.39 billion transactions.

1.39 billion transactions.

Energy flooded into the sentient beings' energy pool of the Karmic Void Realm like a tide.

Salted fish, fresh water, wooden planks, ropes, medicine, sea beast meat, Bronze equipment, Silver Rank tools—everything that could be moved onto the trading platform was circulating at a crazy speed.

The posts in the World Echo of the Fate Platform wailing about "lack of medicine," "lack of water," and "lack of Materials" decreased by 70% within twenty-four hours.

Replacing them was a new type of post—

"Acquiring Serrated Fish intestines, buying five or more, price negotiable, settlement in karma points on the spot."

"Selling homemade hemostatic paste, recipe is liver of Saw-Spined Dragon Turtle plus ground seaweed, effects personally tested and effective, three points per portion, discount for large quantities."

"Urgent sale of one Bronze Rank ship anchor, not a match, trading for a harpoon, private message if interested."

The Little Life Society was the first to react.

President Shen Qing opened the "Society Life Official Shop" in the Trading Realm and officially listed healing Materials—little life water.

Official price: 50ml—five karma points.

Efficacy: Can save lives in emergencies, has therapeutic effects on all degrees of trauma, can timely stop bleeding for large-area bleeding such as an amputated arm, can restore personal status, remove most negative status effects, and common daily illnesses such as colds, fevers, and diarrhea can all be cured easily; if not cured, then increase the dosage.

There were also some services providing medical resources, the method being video connection guidance plus remote dispensing and transmission of medicine, as well as some professional knowledge tutoring.

As for the source of little life water—little life pearl?

President Shen Qing and the Little Life Society had not yet disclosed it to the outside world or listed it for sale.

There were many reasons; first, the supply capacity was not enough, and second, it was very easy to cause a bad influence on the Yanhuang Civilization survivors.

"You sell to others but not to me?"

"What does that mean?"

You might be able to explain that your side's quantity of little life pearl was insufficient and you couldn't sell it to too many people.

But others would only think that you might look down on them.

Some would think this was a shady operation, selling only to prestigious people or consuming it within their own organization.

It was inevitable that some would start to hate certain officials and organizations, thinking that they were a privileged class and that little life pearls were only provided to the privileged class.

If one were to say before the Transmigration, such negative effects that might accompany this purely commercial behavior would be harmless.

But for any formal organization on the Magic Sea with any ambition, they did not want to produce such an influence, as it would damage their organization's image.

Because no one knew whether doing this would cause their acquisition of merit points to be affected or even reduced.

Even the transaction strategy for little life water of the Little Life Society was limited to one portion per person per account.

Even so, it still couldn't prevent some bad influences, and more and more survivors complaining that they couldn't buy little life water posted under their official post.

But fortunately, the quantity of little life water was very, very large.

Many ordinary Yanhuang Civilization survivors bought it and posted to show it; everyone could see it, so the negative momentum couldn't be stirred up.

The people of the Little Life Society were even slightly regretful of their former selves at this moment, thinking about how they were worried before that the opening of the Life Spring in the Karmic Trading Realm would affect the existence Foundation of the Little Life Society.

Now, they were actually somewhat hoping for the Life Spring to open early.

The pressure from the collective petitions of the Yanhuang Civilization survivors was too great.

With this specialty, the Little Life Society was no longer the empty and unsubstantial existence in many people's eyes.

With the shift in the direction of the Little Life Society's trading and storage of Materials, soon large batches of resource treasures that could provide energy to nourish the spirit and restore physical strength, as well as others that could help with development, were traded into the Little Life Society.

Following this was an even larger batch of little life water listed on the Karmic Trading Realm.

At the same time, taking this opportunity, the Little Life Society also gained the opportunity and capital for massive expansion.

Members were rapidly absorbed and expanded.

Survivors within a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles flocked here by reputation.

The Revival Society followed closely behind. Zheng Yuanshan approved the General Administration of Livelihood Security to open an official shop in the Trading Realm, listing sea beast meat, ship repair Materials, and basic weapons, with pricing 20% lower than the market average, serving as an anchor for stabilizing prices.

Compared to the Little Life Society, the Revival Society's stance was not only not small, but even larger.

The blockbuster product listed by the Little Life Society was just the little life water.

But the Revival Society listed nearly a million different trading products on the first day, and directly reached millions on the second day.

Among them were many various handmade goods that only existed in the modern civilization of the Earth Star before the Transmigration, tables and chairs, baskets and shelves, even various self-made handmade textiles, various sea beast meat products, animal skin clothing, sea salt and sea beast oil which were Magic Sea specialties essential for the human body; they could be bartered or traded using karma points.

In just half a day, under the guidance and operation of professional experts in economics, livelihood, and science, the Revival Society traded for a large batch of medical supplies, food, and, more importantly, some basic industrial Materials that the Revival Society needed.

They built a huge trading system, and in just a few days, it almost became a store for everyone.

Of course, it was still limited sales.

A population of several hundred thousand was still too small compared to the demand of nearly 1.4 billion, and fortunately, there were other free trades and their own managed group trading shops opened by various large and small groups.

The Revival Society intended to restore and build an orderly civilized society on this Magic Sea.

These days, they had already figured out some of the survival execution rules of the Magic Sea.

It was true that the higher the merit points, the greater the probability of opening a high-Rank treasure chest.

But this influence was still relatively obvious at the Silver Rank.

By the Gold Rank, it became much smaller, and so far, this official organization of their 400,000-person camp only had two Gold Rank treasures on the surface.

The assembly order and the super luxurious Houseboat of Gold Rank that was just opened the day before yesterday.

After obtaining a Gold Rank treasure with attack power, at this moment they finally understood one thing that they had been unable to figure out before.

That was how the external civilization camps without a Cause and Effect Fate Platform could have people who were able to compete with their group of Yanxia survivors, who were collectively cheating, on the personal leaderboard when the first leaderboard was announced.

He, Zheng Yuanshan, and President Shen Qing both relied on the camp's influence to obtain hundreds of thousands of merit points.

And those powerhouses from external civilization camps were probably relying on Gold Rank artifacts to slash out hundreds of thousands of merit points.

Even if the external civilization camps did not have a Cause and Effect Fate Platform, the strong were still manifesting their existence in their own way.

The Revival Society released an official post on the second day.
