In addition, Gaia had other reasons for canceling the super trading platform.
Although it could be said that the territories in the wilderness could basically be self-sufficient, there was still a huge gap between them. However, because of the different regions, the different distribution of resources, as well as the different development models of the territories, every territory, including Shanhai City, had the need to carry out trade with the outside world.
It could be selling products, buying raw materials, and so on.
After the super trading platform went offline, there were only two ways for the lords to meet their trade needs.
One was naturally to continue trading with the Royal City through transportation in the wilderness. However, this was not feasible in a short period of time for the territories far away from the Royal City.
There was only the second way, and that was to carry out trade between the territories.
The most convenient way was naturally to trade with the "neighbors".
However, the theme of the wilderness was war, the survival of the fittest.
Generally speaking, there was no such thing as friendly neighbors. It was really difficult to carry out trade.
Gaia, of course, knew this. It wanted to use this to subtly warn the lords of the wilderness that in addition to war, there was also trade in the wilderness.
After all, it was very likely that they would be able to carry out trade with the local natives when they reached Hope Planet. The candidates naturally had to start training in advance.
For Shanhai City, being surrounded by the four major city-states, there seemed to be no other way but to carry out trade with Lingxi City. Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo had already made arrangements in advance and opened up a sea trade channel with the Royal City of Quanzhou.
Therefore, although Shanhai City was not close to the Royal City, with the convenience of sea transport, they could still continue to carry out trade with the Royal City of Quanzhou.
Of course, for Shanhai City, there was still a test.
First, the salt trade of Shanhai City would be affected to a certain extent.
Quanzhou itself was a coastal city and did not need to import salt. Therefore, the only way to sell salt in the territory, other than through internal consumption, was through trade between territories.
Salt was one of the main commodities of the territory.
Whether it was the earliest Beihai City, Qiongzhou County, Leizhou County, or finally Zhenhai City, the profit brought by salt was one of the main financial revenues of the territory.
Second, the acquisition channels of iron ore, coal, and other resources were limited.
Although Ouyang Shuo had long taken precautions against this, it was not a long-term plan. Finding a stable resource import channel was related to the territory's future industrialization strategy.
As for other effects, they still needed to be evaluated by the business department.
All in all, the period after the super trading platform was canceled would be a huge test for all the territories.
When Lord Chunshen heard the news, his face turned pale on the spot.
It should be noted that his family was established in business. The members of the various families all ran their own chambers of commerce in Royal City. After removing the super trading platform, these Chambers of Commerce were equivalent to becoming independent from the main family.
This was undoubtedly bad news for Dan Yang City, which was extremely reliant on the support of the Chamber of Commerce.
Cancel the National Channel, Guild Channel, and Alliance Channel. Communication between players was either through the courier station's mail system or through the forums.
This was another update that made all the players uncomfortable and even a little painful.
Gaia's action was to make the wilderness more realistic.
Canceling the national channel was equivalent to isolating the players, making it impossible for them to communicate on the same channel. The Earth Attribute would be further strengthened and even solidified.
The removal of the guild channel increased the difficulty of managing the guild by several levels. This, in turn, limited the size of the guild.
Obviously, Gaia advocated a streamlined guild organization.
Canceling the Alliance channel was forcing the Alliance members to strengthen face-to-face communication and communication.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have much of an opinion about this.
In his previous life, he had long since gotten used to the absence of these channels.
In fact, when the players gradually adapted to the game life without the existence of channels, they would instead further liberate their gaming instincts and develop a greater sense of identity with the wilderness.
At the same time, the boundary between players and NPCs would also further blur and weaken.
Cancel the player's level and replace it with the combat power evaluation level.
The evaluation level was divided into bronze, black iron, silver, gold, dark gold, and god. Each level was further divided into high, middle, and low grades.
The combat power was a dynamic data that constantly fluctuated. It was a comprehensive evaluation of a player's level, attributes, equipment, skills, and other factors.
Ouyang Shuo checked and found that his evaluation level was silver high grade.
From this, it could be seen that the combat power evaluation level was still very valuable.
In the fifth year of his previous life, the number one expert in China was only rated as dark gold low grade. Moreover, the higher the level, the more difficult it was to improve and the longer it took.
It was reported that there were special test missions for players to break through to god level.
Canceling the player's level was naturally a part of Gaia's modification of the game's authenticity. Ouyang Shuo also knew that in the future, even the character attributes and equipment attributes would be canceled.
Carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the courier stations and officially open the carriage system.
The previous courier stations were only responsible for receiving and receiving letters, which was somewhat unworthy of its name. After the update, all courier stations in the cities would automatically refresh the system's carriages.
Be it players or NPCs, they could all ride the carriages and travel between cities.
Naturally, the courier stations also had to pay for the carriages, and the profits would be split equally between the system and the territory. This also meant that the more prosperous the territory, the higher the income of the lord.
Apart from the carriages, the courier stations would also provide horse and carriage rentals, as well as goods consignment services.
The so-called goods consignment service was somewhat similar to the ancient escort agency, but it was an enhanced version.
Of course, it was also charged.
What was special about the relay station was that the speed of the carriages and horses at the relay station was twenty times faster than the speed of the regular carriages and horses.
This way, not only did it offset the factor of the map expanding by ten times, but it was also twice as fast.
It could be foreseen how popular the various courier stations would be in the future. Even the government had to rely on the courier station system.
Of course, it was unrealistic to use the courier stations to mobilize a large number of troops. Gaia had strict restrictions and restrictions on this.
Obviously, the update of the courier stations showed that Gaia had made a good balance between the authenticity of the game and the convenience of the players.
At least Gaia did not blindly pursue authenticity.
