Chapter 398: Interstellar Trade Market (Part 3)
"Since this is your first visit to Xandar and we haven't found any accounts from any of the universal banks, would you like us to open one for you?"
After all the identity information was registered, the Heart of Xandar kindly suggested.
Jerry immediately nodded in response:
"Yes, please open a series of tradable accounts for me!"
Money is a crucial thing, whether on Earth or any other planet in the universe, or in any world where people gather.
Of course, even if Jerry opened an account now, it would still be empty.
After all, Earth money has no value in the universe and is no better than waste paper.
However, he wasn't worried about this situation.
As a Mage, with the Reality Gem and his own incomplete Mini World, making money was incredibly easy for him.
After registering his identity and opening his tradable accounts, Jerry left the registration hall and headed toward the security checkpoint at the spaceport.
The staff member had mentioned that security checks and the shuttles to landmarks were free, so he didn't use his teleportation magic but followed the same procedure as the other aliens.
First, he went through the security check, then selected a single-person small spaceship. While flying, he enjoyed the unique urban landscape of Xandar and listened to the laws and regulations of Xandar being broadcast in the spaceship.
Compared to Earth cities, Xandar's cities looked more technologically advanced and were also cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.
Perhaps due to the prevalence of smart flying vehicles, there were almost no other forms of transportation on the ground besides pedestrians.
This made the city layout simpler, focusing more on aesthetics rather than functionality, with streets, rivers, and trees arranged for maximum beauty.
"Mr. Carmen, welcome to the Imperial Capital of the Nova Empire on Xandar. We hope you will abide by the local laws and have a pleasant journey!"
The spaceship slowly landed beside a bustling street, and after sending Jerry a final blessing, it quickly flew away.
In Xandar, using a spaceship is free. You just need to input the number of passengers and your destination on your communication device, and the Heart of Xandar will promptly dispatch an idle spaceship to pick you up.
However, you need to have a communication device first, something similar to a smartphone on Earth.
With a translator and a communication device, you can basically communicate and live on this planet without any barriers, interacting with aliens from various planets.
The translator and communication device need to be purchased, and since Jerry had no money, the first thing he needed to do was to get some money into his account.
As for how to get money, he had already figured out a way during his conversation with the Heart of Xandar and the spaceship. This is also a common method used by most aliens visiting Xandar for the first time.
He would go to the official Interstellar Trade Market in the capital and trade his belongings for money.
Weapons, spaceships, energy, rare resources, and planetary specialties—anything of value could be sold for a fair price there.
In fact, not only first-time visitors but also most aliens with cargo come to Xandar specifically for the Interstellar Trade Market. Protected by the Nova Corps, the market on Xandar is a well-known and highly regarded destination in the universe.
However, due to the laws of the Nova Empire, certain prohibited items cannot be traded here, such as slaves, high-power weapons, and extremely dangerous chemicals.
To trade these items, one would need to seek out the merchants in the black market.
Walking along the streets of the Imperial Capital, Jerry enjoyed the alien city's scenery as he slowly made his way toward the Interstellar Trade Market.
The place where his spacecraft had landed was not far from the entrance of the market, so it didn't take long for him to see the large and striking silver metal building.
Although he couldn't read the words "Interstellar Trade Market" written in Xandar's language on the metal building, Jerry had already seen this unique structure in the images provided by his spacecraft.
"Pretty big!"
Upon entering the Interstellar Trade Market, Jerry's first impression was its size.
The entire market was divided into five levels, each nearly a hundred meters high, with shops lining both sides. Apart from aliens like him who were walking around, there were also many large transport spacecraft coming and going.
"Laser guns, laser swords, long swords, and maces made of Kabara metal."
"Space armor, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, with a variety of styles for men, women, and other unique species."
"Fusion energy, one bottle can provide a small spaceship with enough energy to fly for over a month."
Jerry walked past one alien shop after another, listening to the aliens selling their goods in Xandar's language. Although he couldn't understand it, he could guess what they were selling by looking at the items displayed in the shops.
To be honest, any one of these technological items, if brought back to Earth and studied by scientists, could potentially lead to significant breakthroughs in Earth's technology.
However, Jerry merely glanced at them and had no intention of doing so.
Firstly, giving these advanced technologies to Earth's nations for research could mean that the same technology might be used against him in the future. He wouldn't do anything without a benefit.
Secondly, this wasn't necessarily a good thing. The Ancient One had long told him to avoid interfering with the development of ordinary people, as it might not necessarily lead to human prosperity and could instead lead to human destruction.
The Ancient One could travel through the multiverse with ease, and Asgard possessed technology far beyond Earth's.
Why didn't they consider giving Earth more advanced technology so it could have the ability to defend itself and not always need their protection?
Because they knew that human development needed to progress step by step to be stable and prosperous.
If they were to forcefully give them technology far beyond their current level, the result might be that they destroy themselves before they even face external threats.
The Ancient One and Odin had seen this happen many times in the universe.
Many planets had been destroyed in wars among themselves after suddenly acquiring technology far beyond their own, leaving their worlds in ruins.
Therefore, allowing natural development is the best approach.
After this interstellar journey, Jerry would not give these advanced technologies to the governments of Earth. At most, he would bring back a few souvenirs for his family and friends.
For example, that real laser sword he saw in the weapons shop!
