All Novel Full Chapter 1204
Chapter 1204: Chapter 1098: A Shameless Business War_1 Chapter 1204: Chapter 1098: A Shameless Business War_1 Now the farm owner, soon-to-be distillery boss, and future space station agricultural and pastoral tycoon Thomas, was quite certain: no one currently had cannons.
——regardless of whether it’s throwing stones or shooting lasers, nobody has them.
This is common sense.
Any random person who has seen the price of a warship would know: players are almost dead by the time they pay off the loans for their mining ship, not to mention buying a more expensive ship.
An [Armed Cargo Ship], although only one level higher than a [Mining Barge], is more than five times the price due to its space combat capability!
No one can afford it right now.
And there’s another thing that’s strange: the [Armed Cargo Ship], is essentially also a cargo ship.
But currently, where are the players supposed to get their goods from, and where are they supposed to sell them?
There is no interstellar commercial environment at all?!
So the only value in buying an [Armed Cargo Ship] seems to be its “armament” – it can be used to rob others.
Just that they haven’t realized yet: people aren’t buying armed cargo ships, not just because they can’t afford it.
There is another crucial reason — the shipyard on the space station hasn’t even fully started running!
Only Thomas vaguely recognized:
The business on the space station needs to be built by players themselves.

When he was strolling around the commercial street, it was not fully functioning at all, only robots and the management system were carrying out the most basic level of maintenance.
When he entered the agricultural and pastoral area, he found the situation almost the same —— although it was running, it was just monotonously planting very few crops like corn, barley, potatoes, etc.
The distillery was only brewing the most ordinary spirits.
It seemed like everything was limited at the most basic level.
Instead of saying it is for production, it’s more like keeping the equipment and robots from rusting and breaking down.
However, once the players decide to join, they can easily enter various positions, and even after a little practice and assessment, they can have the authority to try to produce more advanced products.
More diversified grains, more water-consuming vegetables, fruits, free brewing of alcohol, unrestricted raising of cattle, horses, pigs, and sheep, and start enjoying a good life…
So Thomas guessed: the shipyard inside the space station hasn’t fully started operation either.
At best, everyone could buy a mining ship.
As for the high-end items on the commodity list, whether it is an armed cargo ship, or a shuttle, a cruiser, a destroyer, or even an aircraft carrier, players themselves need to collect resources, arrange production.
They might even need to screw it themselves.
Based on this speculation, a star war would be at least a month or two away, right?
Starting the war right now, what the hell?
What’s the whole point?
Thomas quickly opened the panel, jumped to the forum, intending to find out what was going on.
As expected, as soon as he opened the forum, he saw the pinned post——
[Anybody with a spaceship, get online now!
At all costs, damn those psychopaths!]
“?”
Thomas hadn’t even clicked on this post yet, but he had a feeling that the truth might be completely absurd.
And indeed it was:
「Damn it, someone has gone mad and is attacking the space station!
Are they crazy?!
The people who set fire in Pandora were marked as [Eternal Enemies] just last week, and everyone is planting trees hard right now, haven’t you forgotten about it?
Fucking messing with space station again?
They must be insane?!
People with ships get online immediately!
Don’t let the space station be blown up by these madmen!
—— I mean the mining ships produced by the space station!
Don’t bother with the space station from the main storyline, you can’t catch up with it, it’s simply a target.
Hurry up!ã€
—— The post was made just 30 minutes ago.
“Holy…
shit!” Thomas’s mouth gaped open in surprise.
“This can’t be a group of people, right?
Aren’t they afraid of being blacklisted by the space station?”
“What is this?
Using finite life to seek infinite fun?”
He quickly scrolled down, browsing more information, and found that this battle has been going on for a while now, and the scope of its impact is much larger than he expected!
It’s clear the destructive people are well-organized and even played a time difference ——
They first launched a terror attack in space aimed at space station, attracting everyone’s attention.
After a large number of players who wanted to protect the Space Station took off in spaceships to meet the enemy, another group suddenly started a riot inside the Space Station!
Ɲονǥο.сօ
The unprepared players were caught off guard, and various facilities of the Space Station were severely damaged.
However, these people did not directly attack bystanders – if a bystander was just watching, they would ignore them, but if the bystander tried to stop them, they would fight them too!
This caused some players to be initially confused about what was happening.
Seeing a large group of people participating in zero-cost purchase, they joined in before their brains could react…
So bizarrely, after the riot started, the trends of looting and zero-cost purchase spread like wildfire.
When rational players thought about the [ID Card] problem and realized that the ID cards of those participating in the rioting and looting had already been marked in red, it was already too late to stop this zero-cost purchase frenzy.
The situation in Daxia was ok, apart from the chaotic evil fun-loving people who started the riot, the rest could still be brought back to their senses.
After all, just last week, Shuihua had just sparked a “Salvation War” involving tens of millions of people.
When someone on the forum called for a halt and explained the potential risks, over ninety percent chose to stop.
Because everyone knows –
It’s Friday evening, and the Goddess of Luck might come online at any time.
And the [Flag of Savior] discussion group has never disbanded!
Therefore, it’s a wise move to stop in time.
But for the players of other countries, it’s a different story.
Especially the American players.
I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere of violence and looting that has awakened some kind of fervor- they just can’t stop now…
“…”
“It’s really bustling,” Thomas summarised.
At another time, he would have been interested in joining in the excitement.
But now, after running around all day, he didn’t have the energy to fight.
He was quite interested in spaceship combat, but all his money had been used to buy land, so he didn’t have a spaceship available.
So he decided:
To harvest some crops, then go offline and watch others fight on live streams.
Harvesting in space obviously doesn’t need to be as troublesome as in “Chang’an”, it’s completely mechanized.
If one has money, they can also upgrade their equipment, and let the robots do all the work.
It took him no more than 10 minutes to complete the harvesting process.
Out of habit, he also made a trip to the distillery – although he didn’t plan to risk delivering goods, he still had to buy the newly produced alcohol and store it at the farm.
After the fight is over, he could still sell it at a good price.
He might even be able to sell it at a better price.
Especially now that he has a competitor – another small farm not far away has been bought by other players.
He inferred that the players buying the farms were gradually increasing, and his goal of monopolizing the Space Station’s business was facing a severe challenge.
It can be expected: in the near future, he will inevitably experience a series of thrilling and cunning commercial battles.
But it doesn’t matter, he is ready!
As Thomas pondered these things, he pulled a cart of liquor out of the distillery, looked up, and saw smoke billowing in the direction of his farm.
“?”
“F*ck!”
He instantly threw the idea of “driving smoothly” behind his head, stomped on the accelerator, and rushed back to the farm at full speed, swearing all the way.
When he reached the entrance of the farm, he found that his farm was engulfed in flames.
Large areas of farmland were destroyed by the fire.
The firefighting robots, for some reason, couldn’t put out the fire in time.
The arsonists didn’t stay, but scattered on the spot, continuing to ignite the surrounding farms.
“My farm…”
“My (future land)…
my (future grain)…
F*ck you all!!”
The Tycoon of the future, who had not yet established his business empire, suddenly suffered a heavy blow!
Thomas was hit hard!
But even so, he noticed something very discordant –
Although the surrounding farms were on fire, only the one bought by other players remained quiet and peaceful, without a hint of fire.
Even the robots had turned on the sprinkler system to cool down the crops.
Seeing this scene, despite having no evidence, Thomas made an instant judgement based on his strong intuition –
This is not a riot, nor is it aimless arson.
This is a shameless commercial war!!
