All Under Control, East Sea Alliance (A 6,000-Character Chapter)

"Twilight Cloud City?" At the mention of that name, a flash of insight struck Peng Siming's mind, and he immediately understood Song Qingxi's meaning.

Transporting goods from the East Sea to Gusu came at an exorbitant cost. High-grade resources were one thing—a Storage Bag could hold quite a lot, and selling them inland for several times the price would fill one's coffers to overflowing. The fee for taking a Space Teleportation Array was nothing worth mentioning.

But where could one find so many rare resources in this world? The East Sea's abundance of resources referred to all kinds of basic materials, and turning those into profit depended on volume.

Moreover, depending on its grade, a Space Teleportation Array had requirements for the total mass of each teleportation.

A Storage Bag contained a world of its own. Even when filled to the brim, it carried no perceptible weight; that was determined by the nature of Spatial Power.

But things changed upon entering a Spatial Tunnel. The two spaces would affect each other, and the actual weight of the items inside the Storage Bag would appear.

Once the total mass reached a certain threshold, it would affect the stability of the Spatial Tunnel. It could collapse at any moment, and the consequences would be exceedingly grave.

Therefore, the weight was strictly verified before every teleportation.

This greatly limited the speed at which bulk goods could be transferred, and the costs were terrifyingly high.

Take Deep Sea Mysterious Iron, the favorite material of inland Artifact Forgers, for example. It was incredibly heavy; a fist-sized piece weighed over a thousand jin. A mainstream fourth-grade cross-region teleportation array could only transport around a dozen pieces at a time, while the cost of using the Space Teleportation Array alone ran into several thousand Spirit Stones.
