Chapter 2098: You Can Know a Person’s Face but Not His Heart

So they naturally wouldn't hurt anyone's life with this mentality.

As long as it wasn't a life-and-death battle, they naturally wouldn't fight.

So even if the Merchant Alliance had made siege weapons like catapults and crossbows at that time, few forces would buy them.

Because at that time, everyone hadn't solved the problem of food and clothing, who would buy those things? Could it be that they really bought them as decorations?

So at the beginning, Jiang Tian's Merchant Alliance only sold some food, some simple armor and weapons, or some daily necessities to solve everyone's urgent needs.

Some people may ask, didn't they say there was no fighting? Didn't they say there would be no harm to anyone's life?

Since the Merchant Alliance didn't sell catapults and crossbows, why did it sell some armor and weapons, even the simplest ones, wouldn't these things be able to hurt people's lives?

Isn't it obvious that the Merchant Alliance is self-contradictory by doing this?

Isn't this a typical case of doing and standing?

This question is okay. Although the Merchant Alliance sells the simplest weapons and armor, the group it sells to is not for them to participate in the battle.

Of course, there is no shortage of such people among those who actually bought them.

It’s just that at that time, everyone was just in the development stage, and everyone’s food and clothing were not solved.

Even if someone really bought such weapons and protective gear to attack another force, even if he really wanted to kill people, do you think he could get any benefits?

In addition to killing the other party, he probably couldn’t get any resources.

After all, the other party has problems with food and drink. At this time, the other party can’t have resources to use, and is waiting to be killed by you, giving them to you to pick up the bargain, right?

Even to put it bluntly, the resources you grab at that time may be less than the weapons and protective gear you bought.

So people who really don’t have many resources will definitely not buy such things, and even if they buy them, they won’t buy too much, at least they won’t use them to plunder this area.

They bought them because in the original Sky Island world, although it seemed peaceful, there were no sky pirates.

But don’t forget that at that time, there were no sky pirates and no one attacked you, which does not mean that you are definitely safe.

In addition to the bad weather and lack of water and food, the most troublesome problem for these survivors is the monsters that will refresh on the sky island every once in a while.

These monsters do not have much attack power in the early stage, and an adult man can easily kill them.

Of course, this is a one-on-one situation, but there are no monsters in the first few days. This is also a protection mechanism for the survivors who have just landed on the sky island.

This time is to let them get familiar with this world and the surrounding environment as soon as possible.

Of course, the most important point is to let them fish as much as possible and have enough resources and hands.

Otherwise, once the monsters come, they have nothing, then even if they are not starved to death, they will be killed by these monsters.

And because these monsters all land on their own sky islands, long-range weapons of mass destruction such as catapults and crossbows are basically useless.

On the contrary, those inconspicuous kitchen knives and weapons and protective gear such as pigskin armor can play a key role.

Therefore, the purpose of these simple weapons and armor sold by Jiang Tian is to enable everyone to protect themselves.

Don't be killed by air pirates or starved to death due to lack of food, but be killed by these weak monsters that refresh, then it will be a big loss.

However, even if you know that these weapons and armor are useful, as I said just now, this is the early stage of everyone's arrival in the Sky Island World. Everyone has only one fishing rod, and the fishing materials are naturally very limited.

In addition, some people are not very lucky. Every time they fish up materials, they may be some useless materials.

So even if Jiang Tian's weapons and armor are not expensive, their customers are very few.

After all, this is the first trading platform in the Sky Island World, and it is not built by this world. It is established by survivors like them, which naturally makes people suspicious.

First, they doubt the security of this transaction. Don't give the materials to the Merchant Alliance, but the Merchant Alliance does not give them the things, then they will be deceived.

To put it bluntly, even if they were really cheated, these people would at most curse Jiang Tian on the world channel and publicize the bad things done by the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, they could not do anything to the Chamber of Commerce, let alone Jiang Tian.

Because at this time, everyone's strength was very weak, and few forces could even move.

They simply did not have the ability to trouble Jiang Tian and ask him to spit out the iron ore that was cheated.

To put it bluntly, even if they could really go to Jiang Tian, ​​they might not go.

Because unless they were in the same area as Jiang Tian, ​​if they moved across the area, not to mention how much time and energy it would take on the road.

Just the food, drink, defecation and urination of these people would require a lot of iron ore to support them.

By then, even if they recovered the money and even got three times the compensation.

But compared with the resources they consumed, these compensations might just be a drop in the bucket.

So no matter how they calculated, they would not trouble Jiang Tian. They could only condemn him a few times, vent their anger, and then accept their fate.

Everyone is not a fool, nor a rich man, so they should be cautious about a new platform.

After all, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you should be on guard against others.

It is for this reason that Jiang Tian did not build weapons of mass destruction such as catapults and crossbows.

It is not that his people cannot build them. After all, with forgers like Lu Ban and Tang Yan, such things are not easy to get.

What's more, the quality of the products produced at the beginning will not be too high. After all, they are used for training. In addition, the higher the quality, the more time, energy and materials are needed than ordinary defective products.

In addition, there are not many rich people at this time. Even if they really spend so much money to build them, they can only rot in their nests and be used by themselves.

However, their business alliance is just doing business after all, and they don't go out to fight with others every day, so it is a waste to make these things so early.

It is better to use limited materials to create something that can be sold quickly.

After all, only money can make money, which is what a businessman should do.
