"Where did you drag me to?"
"Is this still within the country?"
Inside a pure white room, Su Yi stared at the boundless starry sky outside the window, completely dumbfounded.
"A cross-dimensional trading platform... could it actually be real?"
He was a purchasing agent at a food processing plant, a job he'd held since graduation, for three years now.
He was quite satisfied with the job; a monthly salary of five thousand wasn't high, but being in the purchasing department, there were always some extra perks, allowing him to live comfortably.
Plus, the original head of the purchasing department was old, nearing retirement, and didn't manage things much, leaving him in charge of the department, which was incredibly enjoyable.
However, just last month, the boss's brother-in-law, who had just returned from studying abroad, was suddenly parachuted into the purchasing department as the new supervisor, becoming Su Yi's direct superior.
Originally, it was just a change from an uninvolved superior to a managing one; he wouldn't be short of any kickbacks.
However, Su Yi never expected that this new superior seemed to have something wrong in the head.
Right after taking office, he claimed that the surge in international grain futures would inevitably lead to a rise in domestic grain prices, and that they had to stockpile a batch for the factory before prices went up.
After countless fruitless attempts to dissuade him, Su Yi was dumbfounded as he was urged to purchase a thousand tons of flour and five hundred tons of rice, to be used as raw materials for the food processing plant.
Then, of course, grain prices didn't rise, because this was Kyushu, and what did international grain futures prices have to do with here?
The purchasing price even dropped by twenty cents this month, causing the factory to lose hundreds of thousands.
What Su Yi didn't expect was that this brainless thing that the guy stirred up, he wouldn't acknowledge, and instead pushed the blame onto him.
Yesterday, the boss personally told Su Yi that he had to dispose of this batch of grain within a week at the original purchase price, or else he would be packing his bags and leaving.
With the current grim employment situation, he naturally didn't want to lose such a decent job, and after struggling to find someone willing to take over, he opened some online trading platforms to try his luck, hoping to find an idiot.
And he actually found one.
Someone with the ID "Cross-Dimensional Trading Platform" proactively contacted him, saying they could purchase the grain in his hands at a high price.
With nothing else to do, he chatted with the person for a few sentences.
But the more they chatted, the more outrageous it became; the person claimed to be a cross-world trading platform, able to help him sell things to other worlds.
Su Yi wasn't stupid, of course he didn't believe it.
And then? And then he arrived here.
Letting out a long breath, Su Yi calmed himself down.
Looking around, he walked to the long table in the middle of the room and opened a booklet placed on it.
[Cross-Dimensional Trading Platform Registration Notice:]

[Party A: Cross-Dimensional Trading Platform]
[Party B: ——————]
Su Yi carefully read this registration notice several times.
There were no word games in it, and it basically clearly stated the rules of the cross-dimensional trading platform, and these rules were not harsh.
He couldn't think of any reason to refuse to sign.
Moreover, it couldn't help but remind him of some content in the novels he had read before.
Something like exchanging a bottle of water for nuclear fusion, or a stone being an extremely rare treasure in another world.
If that were the case, wouldn't he take off in a spiral on the spot?
[Congratulations, you have become a registered member of the Cross-Dimensional Trading Platform. Your newbie member gift pack has been issued and is ready for collection, please pay attention to check it.]
The moment Su Yi signed his name, the booklet in front of him directly turned into a stream of light, splitting into two.
One flew to the ceiling, not knowing where it went, and the other fell on Su Yi's wrist, turning into a strange symbol, which was quite beautiful.
The words that should have been on the booklet also appeared in his eyes, just like the system described in the novels, very magical.
At the same time, the things sent in the newbie gift pack also appeared in his eyes.
[Storage Space, Primary Lifeform Trading Permit Card ×1, Universal Language Comprehension Card ×1, Intermediate Matching Card ×1]
[Storage Space: You have a private space with a volume of 100 cubic meters, which can store any item. At the same time, you also have a space with an infinite volume that can be used to store items on the transaction list with other members (excluding living things)]
[Primary Lifeform Trading Permit Card: You can use this card to exchange creatures from other worlds with other members (trading plants, microorganisms, etc. does not require the use of this card)]
[Universal Language Comprehension Card: After use, you can proficiently master trillions of different languages from billions of worlds recorded within this platform.]
[Intermediate Matching Card: After use, randomly match you with a member who complements your advantages.]
"Hiss, these are all good things!"
Su Yi's eyes lit up when he saw these things.
The storage space doesn't need much explanation, although only 100 cubic meters are for his personal use, it's still a lot.
The Lifeform Trading Permit Card, doesn't seem to have much value at the moment, so let's not talk about it for now.
But the Universal Language Comprehension Card is amazing, with this thing, Su Yi can be said to never have language barriers again.
As for the Intermediate Matching Card, there is a rule in the platform about this.
Matching other members requires a matching card. The primary matching card is completely random, and it's hard to say what kind of trading partner you'll match with, and it might be completely worthless.
And the intermediate matching card is as described, it is likely to match you with a member who complements your advantages, and then both parties can conduct transactions, and even sign a long-term transaction contract, and obtain platform points.
As for the advanced matching card, that's even more amazing, it can 100% match you with a high-level world willing to support other worlds.
The things that people leak from between their fingers are enough for ordinary worlds to take off directly.
Su Yi currently doesn't have a primary matching card, which means this is his only matching opportunity at the beginning.
If it fails, then he can only wait until next year.
—In order to take care of new members who have just joined the platform, who do not have fixed trading partners or member points, the platform will send members a primary matching card every year on a fixed date for the first hundred years of becoming a member.
"Use the language card, and then directly use the matching card."
Since he's already here, then today is as good as any other day.
Su Yi is not a hesitant person. After figuring out the operating model of the trading platform, he knows that even if he goes back, he can't prepare anything in advance.
He simply starts matching directly.
[Universal Language Comprehension Card -1, language module loaded!]
[Intermediate Matching Card -1, searching across time and space for a trading partner who complements your advantages...]
[Matching successful!]
Along with the prompt sound, the scene in front of Su Yi suddenly changed, leaving the room in the starry sky and appearing in an ancient and solemn grand hall.
In front of him was a table carved with complex patterns, and he knelt in front of the table.
And across from him, also kneeling in front of another table, was a woman.
A woman with a head of red hair, wearing a gorgeous golden skirt armor, beautiful beyond compare.
"You are my trading partner?"
The woman's crimson eyes stared at Su Yi, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Her accent was very strange, Su Yi could be sure that this was not any known language on Blue Star, but it was surprisingly very pleasant to hear.
"I guess it's me." Su Yi shrugged, stood up and cupped his hands from afar and said:
"My name is Su Yi, from the Blue Star world, I wonder what I should call you?"
The woman looked at him a few times, then stood up and gave a salute similar to a knight's salute, and then said solemnly:
"Fourth Princess of the Radiant Empire of the Dawn World, Commander of the Crimson Flame Knights, the Thorns of the Empire, the Leader of Unyielding Will, Lord of Mengchuan City, Ally of the Elves, Dragon Slayer, Goblin Suppressor, Eternal Burning Sword, Blood-colored Rose, Mistress of the Unicorn... the Youngest Archmage, the Strongest Starlight Knight, Vivi · Radiant, greets you."
Su Yi:...
He looked at the empty hall with only two tables, and really wanted to say that there were too many people and there wasn't enough room to sit.
But considering the preciousness of the intermediate matching card, he still forcibly resisted the urge to complain.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Vivi, time is precious, can we talk about the transaction now?"
"Yes!"
"Then what do you need?"
"Food!"
"?"
Su Yi looked at her carefully a few times.
Her clothes were gorgeous and exquisite, and her face was beautiful and rosy.
No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like she's lacking food and clothing.
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Vivi explained:
"The city-state I am in is currently experiencing a war. In order to fight against the evil invaders, we have been fighting them for a full three years. Although the city is as solid as gold, the grain stored in the city is not much, so I need grain, a lot of grain."
Got it!
Su Yi smiled and said:
"I can provide you with a batch of no less than five hundred tons of grain within three days."
"If you give me more time to raise, I can give you more."
"Then, beautiful Miss Vivi, what can you give me?"
