My bathroom connects to another world
Chapter 39 - 39 39 Forums Have Produced Great Talents Since Ancient Times

39: Chapter 39: Forums Have Produced Great Talents Since Ancient Times 39: Chapter 39: Forums Have Produced Great Talents Since Ancient Times Novel Forum, that’s right, Zhao Guang was looking for a novel forum.

In such a place, discussing his situation was the least awkward and least attention-grabbing.

Zhao Guang casually registered an account, naming it Transmigration Newbie.

Transmigration Newbie: Is anyone there, I’m recently brainstorming a novel.

The protagonist transmigrates to another world, right at the warzone between humans and beastmen.

The protagonist slowly develops by trading with both sides, are there any points I need to pay attention to in this plot?

234: The plot is too cliché, destined to flop.

Call me Boss: That fast, huh?

Didn’t even snag the sofa.

I am your Grandpa: Change the theme, no one is touching this kind of theme anymore.

Elderly Book Lover: Haven’t seen this theme in a long time, but your transmigration location isn’t very good.

Being in between puts you at risk of collapse.

Better change the location, although rural human borderlands are cliché, they’re easier to control.

If you’re just starting out writing, that might be a good place to practice.

As Zhao Guang read, he muttered to himself, why are there so many offbeat comments.

Being offbeat was one thing, but to be met with negativity right from the start was another.

However, when he saw the message from the Elderly Book Lover, his eyes lit up; he had found someone who could actually hold a conversation.

So Zhao Guang directly messaged, connecting with the Elderly Book Lover.

Transmigration Newbie: Bro, I just want to practice writing, let me share my setting, and you can take a look first.

Elderly Book Lover: Alright, I’m free anyway, and there’s been a bit of a book drought lately.

Zhao Guang swiftly outlined his current situation as the background and told the other party.

Elderly Book Lover: The details you’ve thought out are not bad, seems really real, but it’s not a great set-up for development.

First of all, gold, you can’t keep using it to trade.

I’m not exactly clear on the specifics, since I’m not in the industry, but a company that can take in that much gold at once probably doesn’t exist.

Even if it does, it can’t engage in long-term large-scale trading without attracting attention.

If you really want to sell gold, it’s better to head to Southeast Asia.

As long as you can connect with them, selling gold is much easier; they don’t care where the gold comes from.

So, you might need a plot involving going abroad next.

But if that space gate can’t be moved, then that’s trouble, too many complications.

Zhao Guang made a helpless expression, thinking, you think I want to?

I can’t move this thing either.

As for the company that could take in large quantities of gold, he had indeed encountered one.

Whether they would engage in long-term large-scale transactions with him, Zhao Guang wasn’t sure, but there was definitely risk involved.

Transmigration Newbie: “What about amber, I asked before, and someone said that amber’s value is all speculation, and without your own sales channels, it’s hard to find people to cooperate with.”

Elderly Book Lover: You’re even asking about that, but no matter, it’s just for writing a novel, you can make up whatever you want.

Transmigration Newbie: What if I want to make it more realistic?

Elderly Book Lover: If you want it to seem more real, the usual trick is jade.

It’s very expensive and easy to conceal.

Just buy some raw stones and cut them yourself, then see who can trace how much you slip into the market.

Yeah, that’s a good idea, although I haven’t encountered jade yet, I can’t say it doesn’t exist.

I’ll ask about it later, maybe I can find some.

Selling jade is much safer than selling gold, at the least, it won’t attract the attention of the authorities.

Zhao Guang quickly took out his notebook to jot it down, all the while keeping an eye on the screen

Elderly Book Lover: If you insist on having the transmigration point on the frontlines, then you must maintain the balance between the two sides.

According to you, the protagonist’s transmigration location is already exposed, and currently neither side is able to take control of the place.

But once the balance is lost, the side with the advantage will surely take it over.

By that time, you’ll not only be trading with that one force, but they will also completely restrict your channels.

They’ll dictate what to sell and at what price, and it won’t be up to you anymore.

And these people are just frontliners; if they find out about the goods coming from Earth, who knows how many others will take interest.

Once it’s restricted, that’s when the real trouble begin.

Unless, by that time, you hand over the space gate to the nation, but that completely changes the story.

A chill ran down Zhao Guang’s spine, realizing that this was what he subconsciously feared.

He had not understood why earlier, but now that it was pointed out to him, he finally understood.

Transmigration Newbie: Then how about I sell some weapons to the beastmen to balance things out?

My worry is that, if I don’t control it carefully, one side could rapidly gain an outright advantage, leaving no time to do anything else.

Elderly Book Lover: You really take this seriously.

Just keep the balance yourself, right?

If it really doesn’t work out, then don’t sell them weapons, consider selling protective gear.

Protective gear is the best means to maintain balance.

Zhao Guang’s eyes shone, right, protective gear is also weaponry, and it’s the kind that can save lives.

For both sides, they might prefer and need protective gear even more.

If both sides have defenses that far exceed their offenses, who would need to worry about the balance then?

Indeed, the forum was full of masters, their way of thinking was so flexible.

Zhao Guang continued jotting notes in his notebook while asking further questions.

He laid out all the problems he had encountered so far, as well as some he might face in the future, and discussed them at length.

Only when the person on the other end seemed to lose patience did Zhao Guang finally stop.

Transmigration Newbie: Can I still come to you for questions in the future, senior?

You’re really amazing.

Elderly Book Lover: You can, but it depends on whether I have time.

Okay, I have other things to do now, I’m logging off.

The other party’s avatar turned gray, and Zhao Guang didn’t leave immediately but looked back at the post he had made.

By now, there were already quite a few replies, though most were meaningless drivel.

Although some were mocking him or even berating him, among them, there were some suggestions that Zhao Guang found useful.

Transmigration Newbie: You trash, I bet you can’t come up with solutions and that’s why you’re cursing here, right?

Zhao Guang switched into battle mode, and as expected, his words drew a crowd and sparked a fight.

But reading through their responses, Zhao Guang glossed over the insults directed at him.

“Good, good, I shouldn’t indulge them.

As soon as the insults fly, all their ideas come out.”

Zhao Guang couldn’t help but commend his own cleverness, then began to take notes.

He decided he’d visit the forum from time to time; without a little provocation, how would they be willing to think?
