Chapter 634 - Mount Craze



Chapter 634: Mount Craze

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At precisely nine o’clock in the morning, Li Yi and Little Elf from the Magical Realm found they had been selling Sacred Potions throughout the night without sleep. Little Elf from the Magical Realm still had not determined the total profit as the number of Gold Coins was still growing.

A bigger shock came at 9.27am. Li Yi raised the price to 30 Gold Coins per Sacred Potion.

“10 thousand bottles left. Brother Xian, we’re out of funds, it’s all up to you now...”

“10 thousand bottles, f*cking hell. This should be the last batch, it must be!”

“Old Red, Old Black, one of you should take 3,000. I have no more money.”

Dozens of merchants were in communication and in the end, they sold off their inventory to cough up the money to buy the 10 thousand potions.

The price of 30 Gold Coins was absurd but to these merchants, there was no turning back. Forced down this road, they would be at a loss if they were to stop now. It would be better for them to risk it all and monopolize Sacred Potion.

After struggling to clear the expensive 10 thousand Sacred Potions, the merchants kept a close eye on the Auction House with bated breath.

Sporting panda eyes, Autumn Love clenched her fists tightly and mumbled to herself. Nobody knew, apart from herself, what she was saying.

All merchants held on until noon and finally let out a long sigh of relief when the next batch of Sacred Potion was nowhere to be found.

“Old Red, that bastard’s out of stock. We... won,” Old Black felt a lump up his throat.

“Yes... yes, we won...”

“Everyone, listen to me. It’s a small win for us and for our interests, I wish that we fix a price when dumping Divine Essence and Mana Spring.”

The person who said this was Brother Xian, the richest out of all the merchants.

“Yes, Brother Xian, you fix the price and we will listen to you.”

“6 Gold Coins for Divine Essence, 5 Gold Coins for Mana Spring. Anyone who’s found breaking this rule will be censured!”

“Agreed!”

“For the benefit of our people, Brother Xian, we side with you!”

All merchants endorsed unanimously Brother Xian’s suggestion.

Sacred Potion’s forceful penetration into the market had been put a stop for now but what about the future? Surely, there would be a next time. The merchants felt their senses tingling with danger.

If they did not get rid of Divine Essence and Mana Spring on hand, would they be able to sell them off once Sacred Potions reoccupied the market?

With everyone trying to dump their stock, the best way to getting rid of them was lowering the price!

Price control would prevent anyone from selfishly lowering the price while protecting the interests of everyone.

All the merchants may agree but there was one person who had other plans.

Autumn Love!

Sorting out the price, the merchant placed their items on sale before logging off. Their bodies could not take it anymore after a night without sleep.

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Autumn Love rubbed her dark eye circles and dumped her Divine Essence and Mana Spring at the dirt-cheap price of 4 Gold Coins each.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Autumn Love was jumping with joy from her mail beeping nonstop. Counting her profits after each mail, she was bubbling with so much excitement that she burst out laughing.

Other merchants may be incurring losses, but Autumn Love was not one of them, she was profiting!

Autumn Love did indeed lose money in the beginning but when she encouraged the rest to join in on clearing out the Auction House, she secretly dumped her amassed Sacred Potions.

She had figured out earlier that with this many Sacred Potions in the market, they could not be the work of an Apothecarist but were sourced through other methods, perhaps... an NPC potion seller?

She bought them when it was 10 Gold Coins a pop but sold them at 20 Gold Coins a bottle, resulting in a hundred percent profit!

It did not matter to her how much Divine Essence and Mana Spring was sold at, as she was only in it for the money, regardless of the amount.

“Brother Xian, Old Red, Old Black, sorry, I’m not going to follow you to your death...”

Autumn Love mumbled to herself. Her eyes beamed as she watched her mail continued to beep.

“Hahahahaha... Hahahahaha...”

Autumn Love raised her head with glee.

An example of poor character, Black Autumn dumped her stock at a super low price, instantly making the other merchants’ potions unsaleable...

With potions of the same quality, who would be stupid enough to buy them at a higher price?

As for the other protagonist of this incident, Li Yi had logged off at 8 in the morning and went to dreamland.

He still had to compete in Brawl King Tournament tonight.

...

Li Yi woke up at 7 o’clock at night. Freshening up and taking his meal, he logged on and appeared in the Mermaid Sea.

Li Yi took a look at his friends online. Little Elf from the Magical Realm was absent, so he contacted Gongsun Chuqian to check on the situation in the Auction House.

“Sacred Potion selling at 35 Gold Coins each. There isn’t much, only a few thousand.”

“Oh, do me a favor and put all these on display. Set it at 8 Gold Coins a bottle.”

Li Yi summoned his personal robot and stuffed potions he bought before sending them to Gongsun Chuqian.

In the entirety of King of Pantheon, only he would profit this way.

On the first day, he raised prices because he knew that the merchants would want to hoard the inventory. Now, on the second day, the merchants would probably have run out of funds so he could not play the same game if he wished to profit. Fixing the price to service the vast number of regular players was the priority now.

Whether the merchants profited or lost out did not matter to Li Yi.

Li Yi dumped a million Sacred Potions in one go before rubbing his Return City Stone to leave the Mermaid Sea. It was not easy to travel to the Mermaid Sea so he would be a fool if he did not make use of it.

The Sea Island’s Trading Center, temporary arena.

There were a lot more players here tonight to watch the battle. Compared to two days before, the arena had doubled in size. Although there was still half an hour before the start of the competition, Pantheon officials had already begun with their generous Gift Box from Heaven event.

[Player, Sometimes It Gets Sad was hit by a Gift Box from Heaven. Opening it up, he was surprised to find a +250 INT scroll.]

[Player, Gongsun Chuqian was hit by a Gift Box from Heaven. Opening it up, she was surprised to find a White Bear mount. What great luck! Let’s congratulate her!]

[Player, the Cat that Sings was hit by a Gift Box from Heaven. Opening it up, she was surprised to find nothing at all...]

...

With the Gift Box from Heaven event ongoing, many players who received gifts were grinning from ear to ear. Of course, the amount of those cussing in anger was similar. No matter how generous the Pantheon officials were, not all players would be rewarded.

[Player, Fengxi was hit by a Gift Box from Heaven. He did not open it up and tossed it on the ground. The Gift Box was Heaven crashed onto the ground and disappeared...]

This was the 25th time...

In 3 days, the player hit by a Gift Box from Heaven the most was probably Huashan’s third in command, Fengxi.

He was hit 25 times but what left players who had never been hit depressed was the fact that the idiot never opened the gifts but dumped them all on the ground.

“Third boss, why don’t you open one up?” Scumbag Wang’s righthand man, Lonely Perfume could not help but ask when he witnessed Fengxi hurling yet another Gift Box from Heaven to the ground.

Fengxi asked in return, “Why should I open it?”

Lonely Perfume swallowed hard, “Why...”

Lonely Perfume thought about it for some time before answering, “There’s plenty of goodies inside, like mounts, equipment, jewels, Gold Coins, the sort. If you just toss it aside, you’ll get nothing.”

“What about before? I didn’t have a Gift Box from Heaven before, picking up and throwing it away, what difference does it make?”

“But...”

Lonely Perfume tried to explain and Fengxi shrugged it off by waving his hand and cutting him off, “Close your eyes and think hard. The entire world is yours. You’re high above the rest, admired by all, the sky’s the limit, with the Demonic Sword in hand, name blaring in red, obeyed by all...”

“Perfume, don’t try to play smart with Third Brother, we’re far from his level.”

Scumbag Wang patted Lonely Perfume and suddenly, a Gift Box from Heaven landed in Scumbag Wang’s palm.

[Player, Wang’er was hit by a Gift Box from Heaven. Opening it up, he was surprised to find a White Deer mount. What great luck, let us congratulate him!]

The System announcement in red spammed the screen three times. Holding the White Deer Mount Emblem in his hand, Scumbag Wang was stunned.

Lonely Perfume was moved with emotion, “Leader Scum, you-ou-ou-ou hit the jackpot!”

“White Deer mount’s the grand prize?” Scumbag Wang stared long at the White Deer Emblem.

“Of course, read the description. +30 for all Abnormality Resistances and 10% increase for all skill effects. OMG, it’ll definitely fetch an exorbitant price if you sell this White Deer mount!” Lonely Perfume’s saliva was dripping down his chin.

“Really?” Scumbag Wang was doubtful.

Only Fengxi poured scorn, “Trash.”

Ding ding ding ding...

Several thousand messages made their way into Scumbag Wang’s mailbox, all enquiring if he was selling the White Deer mount.

Different from mounts obtained from a Ruler of God’s Great Gift Pack, mounts from a Gift Box from Heaven were tradable.

“Brother Wang’er, Brother Wang’er...”

It was then that Hua Feihua initiated chat and sent a message to Scumbag Wang.

Pumped up, Scumbag Wang stood up, “Sister Hua Hua, you’re... you’re looking for me? Are you letting me touch your big white ass?”

“Brother Wang’er, have you learned your White Deer mount yet?”

“Not yet, it’s still in my hands. Let’s not talk about that first. Tell me, are you going to let me touch your big white ass?”

“Brother Wang’er, tell me your coordinates, I’ll be right there.”

A minute later, Hua Feihua appeared before Scumbag Wang. Looking at the White Deer mount in his hand, her alluring eyes lit up.

Not only did the White Deer mount have incredible great attributes, but it also had an adorable appearance. It was a super rare mount suitable for female players.

Hua Feihua took a liking to super rare mounts. She had spent a fortune collecting mounts and this hobby of hers had never abated. It could be said that she has a mount-craze, hoping to collect every single rare mount available.

“Brother Wang’er, would you give me the White Deer mount?”

Biting her velvet lips, Hua Feihua stood in front of Scumbag Wang, coquettishly motioning her body.

“If I were to give it to you, would you let me touch your big white ass?”

“Let’s not talk about this in front of so many people. Actually, I have always liked you. You can do anything you want to me, not just touching me. You get it...”

Hua Feihua’s seductive eyes almost blew Scumbag Wang’s mind away...
