Chapter 310 Businessman
The spaceport of the Xinghai Galaxy is full of people coming and going in a hurry, driving all kinds of heavy machinery and transporting countless cargo ships into major merchant ships in an orderly manner.
These materials not only come from other galaxies, but also include various industrial products produced by the Xinghai galaxy itself, which will be transported to other galaxies.
However, since the Star Army has only recovered more than twenty star systems, the scope of merchants' trading activities has been restricted, and they can only conduct trade within this limited range.
Any merchant who dares to secretly ship their goods to the worlds under the Empire will face severe consequences.
Once discovered, the unfortunate guy will be charged with smuggling and ruthlessly thrown into the Death Penalty Company, which is also the most feared thing for all merchants who have just started to live a stable life.
In a huge spaceport, a merchant ship named Light of the Star Sea is quietly anchored.
A crew member stood by the ship's side, curiously watching the cargo being loaded onto the merchant ship. He then turned to the ship's owner, Yi Xiu, and asked, "Captain Yi Xiu, which planet are we transporting these goods to this time?"
When the merchant ship owner Yi Xiu heard his crew's curious question, he smiled and replied, "This time, the cargo will be transported to the Milzhi World."
"Milchi World? Wasn't this galaxy just recaptured by the army just over two years ago? Can we really make a profit by shipping so much cargo there now?" A crew member asked his captain and boss with a puzzled look on his face.
It's no wonder that the crew member is so confused. Although the Milzhi galaxy has been recovered for more than two years, the population in the galaxy has suffered a severe blow due to the invasion of the green-skinned orcs, and various construction projects are still progressing step by step.
Now all affairs in the galaxy are back on track, but it would be difficult to recoup the costs of selling such a large quantity of goods to this sparsely populated world.
Facing the crew's doubts, the captain showed a mysterious smile on his face: "You don't understand this! Although this world has just begun to return to normal order and may not be able to digest so much cargo at once, this cargo comes from the place where the great Lord of the Stars is!
For those who have just joined the Star Lord, this is a huge temptation! They will definitely rush to buy our goods, so we don’t have to worry about losing money at all.”
"You've just joined the great Star Lord, what does that have to do with these goods?" The crew looked at their captain even more puzzled.
"Hey! You don't understand this." The captain looked at his crew with disdain and continued to explain:
"Think about it, this world has just been rescued from the corrupt empire by the great Star Lord. The admiration we feel for the great Star Lord cannot be expressed in words.
If we advertise these goods as being blessed by the great Star Lord, then these people will rush to buy them and keep them at home as worship."
"But Captain, aren't you afraid of being punished for doing this?"
The crew member looked at his captain with a worried look on his face, his tone full of uneasiness and worry. He knew that this behavior could have serious consequences, but he was confused and puzzled by the captain's decision.
"Don't worry, we didn't engage in false advertising, so we didn't violate the law," the captain replied confidently.
He trusted his own judgment; as long as he didn't recklessly use the name of the Star Lord for propaganda, he wouldn't be punished by the Archons. He felt he had found a safe balance and could continue his trade activities without any scruples.
Hearing the captain's confident response, the crew member's worries were slightly alleviated. However, he still had doubts about the captain's approach, worried that if an unexpected situation occurred, the entire team would be in trouble.
But as an ordinary crew member, he could not influence the captain's decision and could only choose to trust the captain's judgment.
"Captain, what exactly is the cargo in here?" Seeing the captain so confident, the crew stopped trying to persuade him and instead curiously asked about the specific contents of the cargo.
His eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he wanted to find out what was going on. After all, if the captain was really arrested, it would have nothing to do with him, because he was just an ordinary crew member on a merchant ship and did not need to bear any legal responsibility.
Yi Xiu looked at the curious expressions on the crew members' faces, revealed a mysterious expression, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "I can't tell you this."
He seemed to be deliberately whetting the crew's appetite, making them more curious and expectant.
"Forget it." The crew member shrugged and sighed with some disappointment.
He originally thought that the captain would reveal some information to satisfy his curiosity, but now it seems that the captain obviously has his own considerations and is unwilling to easily reveal the secret of the cargo.
He knew that as a crew member, it would be better not to ask too many questions to avoid unnecessary trouble. Sometimes, the less you know, the less trouble you can avoid.
So he decided not to dwell on the problem anymore and focus on the task at hand.
The two ended their brief exchange and waited quietly for the goods to be shipped.
Not long after, the person in charge of loading stood on a huge truck and shouted to Yixiu: "Captain Yixiu, the cargo of your merchant ship has been fully loaded. You can leave the spaceport now."
"Thank you very much. I will transfer the shipping fee to your personal terminal immediately." Yi Xiu also responded loudly.
Yi Xiu quickly operated his personal terminal, found the personal terminal of the person in charge, and transferred the cost of this shipment to the other party.
"Okay, Captain Yixiu, you are welcome to come and work with us next time." After receiving the shipping fee that Yixiu entered into his personal terminal, the person in charge waved at Yixiu with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll look for you next time." Yi Xiu responded happily.
Yi Xiu returned to the bridge and loudly gave orders to the crew on the bridge: "Set sail and head for the Milzhi World."
"Yes." The crew members in the bridge answered loudly with excitement.
They can also go to different worlds and see different scenery. This is why these people choose to be merchant ship guards and sailors, and the most important reason is to work on merchant ships.
The income is also higher than the salary of working in a factory. Although it is hard work, it is much freer than working in a factory.
Under the control of the staff, the merchant ship slowly sailed out of the space port and headed towards the outskirts of the galaxy.
