“Big brother, you can’t be joking.”

Zhao Lei initially thought that 50 silver per bundle was quite steep, and hesitated for a long time before he managed to speak up. Turns out, it wasn’t enough. He now wants three gold per bundle.

“If it wasn’t for the consideration of players’ purchasing power and the output from the dungeons, I would have priced it even higher.” Li Yao said.

“Hey, so you took the players’ purchasing power into consideration, eh? Do you even know how much players earn from killing level ten monsters in a day?” Zhao Lei retorted.

“No need to calculate, at most 20 silver.” Li Yao couldn’t remember these trivial matters.

“You know that as well huh. Given that monster hunting consumes resources and one needs to purchase skill books and such, in reality, they could only save about 2.3 silver each day. You are selling the goods for three gold per bundle, only an idiot would buy that.” Zhao Lei shouted.

“Big brother, this isn’t how you should tally the accounts.” Li Yao said with a helpless tone.

“So how should it be done, tell me?” Zhao Lei argued.

“Alright, let me ask you this, do you think those players you mentioned, who make just a little a day, would try for the master-level dungeons?” Li Yao asked.

Zhao Lei was stunned and then hesitated before saying, “I guess not, they should grind the normal and elite-level dungeons to accumulate equipment first.”

“Exactly, since these people are not our possible customers, mentioning their revenue is pointless.” Li Yao retorted impatiently, “Can we try to think about this? The ones who dare to take on the dungeons currently are what kind of people?”

“The top ones would definitely be the bosses of various big guilds and clubs, then would be gold groups, and then some equipped elite players and the tycoons.” Zhao Lei said.

“So tell me, do you think these people lack money?” Li Yao asked again.

“Still too expensive.” Zhao Lei answered.

Snort…

“Don’t apply your mentality to these people, you need to realize that master-level dungeons, even if not during their first clear. Killing a small monster gets them several silver coins, killing a boss gets them more than a golden coin, not to mention the master-level purple equipment. Do you think these are just equipment? They are not, they are their pride, you understand? It is their bragging rights.”

Li Yao continued to ask: “Now let me ask you a second question, are the Shining Fruit in short supply, is it only we who have a ton of them in stock?”

“Yes.” Zhao Lei said.

“Therefore, we are in sole possession of a rare commodity. Now, the number of players foraging for herbs is flooding, the output of Shining Fruit each day is spread out, even big guilds find that obtaining Shining Fruit is becoming increasingly difficult, not to mention the ordinary players. There are simply not enough for all the players, let alone the fact that there will be more and more players joining the dungeons clearing team. Do you think me selling them at three gold each is actually quite reasonable?”

Zhao Lei was left speechless, how is this being reasonable? The way you are talking about it sounds as if you are doing people a favor.

Li Yao could, of course, sell at an even higher price, but taking the purchasing power of the players into account, to those tycoons, three gold would also tighten their wallet, but it wouldn’t be to the extent where they couldn’t afford it, as golden coins are also not that easy to obtain.

“Alright, I have given it some thought. It can be sold this way.”

“What, have you finally discovered your conscience, planning to sell it cheaper?”

“Cheap, my ass. Do this, split each bundle into two portions to sell, a hundred each portion, 1 gold 50 silver, get on with it, don’t put on too many. Slow and steady, then go to the Neutral Auction House to take a look, purchase some from there as well. Don’t exceed three hundred bundles for today, control it yourself.” Li Yao terminated the communication, rubbed his forehead, feeling exhausted inside.

As a reborn, making money is not about playing small. Mixing limply is just a waste. The right move is to earn money from everyone in the world. As for the trivial small chores, sorry, his time is precious.

Li Yao sat in the corner of the auction house, began to auction the Shining Fruits.

Li Yao divided the five bundles into ten portions, each portion priced at 1.5 gold anonymously listed, then started to grab any underpriced item he could find.

“I knew there would be wicked people hoarding goods, I finally found it.” An Abomination shouted, cursing and swearing.

“Placing five bundles out there in one swoop, this is really going all out. His heart is too dark. I curse that he won’t sell a single one.” The undead beside him also said.

“It’s not dark, it’s not dark at all, this goods dealer is also an excellent player. Ah, damn it, why can’t I encounter such good deals.” The Abomination said, feeling frustrated.

Not just them, many people have noted the appearance of the Shining Fruit, immediately flipping the page, then upon seeing the price, they gulp in cool air.

Followed by curses and swearing against this black-hearted businessman, Li Yao heard it and didn’t contradict them.

“Holy shit, someone actually bought it, have they gone mad?”

“Damn it, I only have a dozen silver coins in my total possession, it doesn’t even count as spare change.”

“This bastard, initially Shining Fruit was sold at 3 silver per bundle, now it’s three golden straight away, I want to swear.”

“I want to kill someone even more, make a global announcement, that no one should purchase his Shining Fruit, we will clench him to death.”

“Right, clench him to death.”

A group of people were furiously posting in all channels, urging to boycott the wicked merchants who are hoarding the Shining Fruit. This gained the response from the majority of ordinary players.

However, the originally slow-selling Shining Fruit was sold out after a short while.

The server has been up for a while now, many players have completed their tasks and the Undercity started to get busy.

The auction house was getting more crowded, many came in following the global announcement.

Li Yao again put up five bundles, but this time the fruits were bought up in an instant.

Li Yao directly put up a hundred bundles, two hundred portions this time, but within half an hour, they were all sold out, he wondered where these tycoons are coming from.

Those that have been keeping their eyes on the fruit couldn’t help but feel envious.

Li Yao thought for a while, then put up another hundred bundles, then he quietly started to grab underpriced items.

This time it was a bit slow, selling little by little, many people were expecting the price to drop due to the saturation of Shining Fruit.

However, an hour has passed, only twenty portions of Shining Fruit remained, many people became anxious, waiting for the person hoarding to continue the sale.

However, until the Sherling Fruit was sold out, more than ten minutes passed and there was still no goods for sale.

“Damn, I shouldn’t have hesitated, are these really out of stock?”

“Sigh, it seems that it’s really out of stock, who was the damn one that assured me the price will definitely drop.”

“Damn it, I am late.”

The situation in the Light Faction was also the same, Zhao Lei has long since headed toward the Neutral Auction House.

After selling more than two hundred bundles, Li Yao’s golden coins abruptly changed to nearly seven hundred gold, he immediately became a big tycoon.

However, this is just the beginning, Li Yao was in no hurry.

He will stop it for today, by his sales, there are enough goods for several hundred teams to clear the dungeons, when people explode with good equipment tomorrow and start to show off, then it’s truly the time to make loads of money.

A person sweeping the majority of the server player’s gold coin output into his own pocket, that is his goal.

Now that leveling is already not suitable, Li Yao merrily continued his purchases as he is not short of money. He planned to construct the guild’s warehouse into the world’s most luxurious warehouse.

Therefore, he isn’t saving any money at all, he buys what he sees fit, all sorts of equipment, gemstones, strengthens his soul, skill books, secondary profession blueprints, sweeping up a large amount until he has spent more than five hundred gold before he stops.

The extras are filled to the brim in his personal warehouse, Li Yao plans to establish the guild directly into the guild’s warehouse.

With the Shining Fruit alone, at least three thousand plus gold coins should be incoming, he was simply not at all cash-strapped, three thousand gold coins, that is the capital he uses to compete with those large guilds…
