The fisherman-hat-wearing man in a mask had a rather loud voice, quickly drawing the attention of everyone present.
"Someone over there is selling weapon-type items!"
"Looks like a telescopic baton..."
"Only 10 points each?! And they accept cash?!"
"Holy crap! What philanthropist is this?"
The players who had been browsing other stalls instantly swarmed over.
Their customers had been snatched away, and the other stall owners—
Nor did anyone express dissatisfaction with Lin Yu.
Instead, they hurriedly packed up their stalls and ran toward Lin Yu!
Weapons and items for just a dozen or so points—if they missed this chance, they would be gone!
In an instant, more than a dozen people crowded around Lin Yu's stall.
"Bro, I'll pay 15 points in cash!"
"17 points!"
"I'll pay 17 points for one too... I'll take them all!"
"Who wouldn't take them all? Holy crap!"
Looking at the players' feverish eyes, Lin Yu realized that he had still underestimated the allure of "weapons."
This was only a telescopic baton, not even a proper weapon!
The exchange rate between Credit Points and RMB was 1:100!
In other words, 10 points equaled 1,000 yuan!
The quality of the telescopic batons Lin Yu had bought on Commercial Street was nothing special, and they had been priced at 229 yuan each.
He had bought fifteen in one go, haggling the shopkeeper down to 120 yuan each. He had gotten the whole lot for just 1,800 yuan!
Of course, that 1,800 yuan was more or less all of Lin Yu's savings at the time.
Lin Zhao felt sorry that Lin Yu was busy enough with filming and studying, and refused to let him take a part-time job; Lin Yu also felt sorry for Lin Zhao and refused to ask for more living expenses.
Since his purchase price had not been high, and knowing that weapon-type items were scarce, Lin Yu had already set the price as high as he possibly could!
But he had never expected...
"I nearly multiplied the price tenfold, and it's still too low?!"
"This is just an ordinary, unremarkable telescopic baton..."
But on closer thought, it actually made sense.
After all, having a stick in a Death game might save one's life at a critical moment!
Those who had experienced a Death game...
None of them felt that spending several thousand yuan to buy insurance for their lives was not worthwhile!
Soon, someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, wait... He's selling potions too!"
"Let me see—'Agility Potion.' Holy crap! This effect is way too awesome!"
"Boss, I didn't expect you to have good stuff like this too!"
[Agility Potion: After consumption, increases the player's reaction speed and mobility by 200% for one hour.]
Because the "Fraud" against Chen Zhuo had taken effect earlier, all the "counterfeit" items were now real!
Therefore, after these players picked up the items, blood-red item descriptions from the official Game system naturally appeared.
The players stared intently at Lin Yu.
"Boss, how much are you selling this potion for?"
Having learned from the previous experience with the telescopic batons, Lin Yu was no longer certain about his original plan to price the potions at 3 points per bottle—that was, 300 yuan.
He rubbed his chin and ventured, "This one too... 10 points?"
As expected, the price of 10 points still did not make anyone back down. Instead, it made them even more excited.
"I'm taking all of these too!"
"Damn it, stop saying you'll take everything whenever you see something! Aren't you being selfish?"
"Boss, I'll pay 15 points for the potions too!"
As the arguing grew louder, it seemed they were almost about to start fighting in front of Lin Yu's stall.
Just then, a crisp sound suddenly came from upstairs.
"Bang! Bang!"
Lin Yu raised his head and saw the "Harmony brings wealth" uncle he had briefly met before walking down from the second floor, still dressed in an elegant suit.
The sound just now had come from him striking two golden Yuanbao together.
As he walked down, he called out loudly, "Quite a lively scene. Looks like someone brought some good stuff!"
The people who had been arguing until their faces were flushed instantly fell silent and all turned toward the uncle.
"Tycoon!"
"Tycoon is here."
"You're here, Brother Tycoon."
Several people in the crowd who seemed familiar with the uncle greeted him, their tones extremely respectful.
Watching this scene, Lin Yu understood.
Sure enough, the "Harmony brings wealth" uncle he had met yesterday was the "Tycoon" mentioned on the forums!
Moreover, he seemed to have considerable prestige among these players.
After seeing the advice on the forums yesterday to "avoid revealing your identity whenever possible," Lin Yu had felt somewhat regretful about exchanging contact information with this uncle.
Although he had been cautious and used an alternate account... it had undoubtedly increased the risk of exposing himself.
However, seeing that the uncle seemed to be deeply respected by everyone, some of Lin Yu's concern faded.
Of course...
That concern did not disappear completely.
The uncle whom everyone called "Tycoon" stepped forward and came to Lin Yu's table.
"So these are the good things that caused all this commotion?"
"Aren't they just ordinary telescopic batons... Hmm? This potion is rather interesting!"
"But they shouldn't have you fighting over them like this!"
As Tycoon spoke, he looked toward the crowd.
The masked man in the fisherman's hat was the first to laugh and speak. "Tycoon, they really are ordinary things, but... he's selling them far too cheaply! And he has so many of them!"
"Oh?"
Tycoon turned and looked at Lin Yu. Pretending not to recognize him, he asked, "How much are you selling these for?"
"My initial price for everything was 10 points. They're cheaper for cash payments and bulk purchases."
Lin Yu answered honestly.
Tycoon shook his head and fiddled with his phone for a few moments. "That's definitely too low... Why are you selling so much at once for such a low price? It can't have been easy to get this many items, right?"
"They all look similar too. I'm guessing they came from the same Instance—did several of you collect them and bring them out to sell? Or do you actually have an organization behind you?"
Lin Yu was just about to refute him.
But Tycoon suddenly pointed at his phone screen.
Lin Yu understood and took out his own phone beneath the table, glancing at it.
"Newcomer, I don't know how you got so many items at once, but you'd better say that you have an 'organization' backing you!"
Lin Yu's heart tightened. He raised his head, gave Tycoon a grateful look, and nodded slightly.
"I am indeed from an organization, but it's inconvenient to reveal its name... The head of the organization urgently needs money, so we brought out some of the items we had accumulated to sell... That's also why I need cash payments."
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Tycoon pretended to think before speaking.
"In that case, why not sell everything to me?"
"I'll buy the telescopic batons at 25 points each and the potions at 20 points per bottle... It may still be slightly below market price, but I can settle everything in cash, so you won't be losing out."
As he spoke, Tycoon turned to look at the players.
"After midnight tonight, I'll list these for sale on the forum. I won't raise the price—you can compete with your fingers. Each account may purchase only one of each item."
After Tycoon said this, none of the players objected.
"If that's what you say..."
"Fine, we'll do it your way!"
Tycoon turned to Lin Yu. "What do you think of this arrangement?"
"If you and your organization have anything you want to sell off in Jiang City in the future, you should also consider working with me, Tycoon. How about it?"
Naturally, Lin Yu had no reason to refuse Tycoon.
"Fine, Tycoon—let's do it your way!"
