The Birth of a Middleman (Four updates today)

[Confirm payment of 1560 Soul Crystals to purchase [Hulan Barracks] building blueprints X2?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

[Confirm payment of 180 Soul Crystals to purchase [Common Militia] X20?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

[Confirm payment of 1600 Soul Crystals to purchase [Flame Sparrow Pet Egg] X1?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes!"

Huang Yu once again experienced the joy of online shopping. He spent over 3500 Soul Crystals in total.

Besides the Hulan Barracks, 20 militia, and the Flame Sparrow.

He also cleared out all the food items and low-grade equipment that were discounted to 30% off or less from the sale list.

Even a fly's leg is still meat!

As an excellent lord who manages his household frugally.

Huang Yu would never miss an opportunity to get one over on the Chaos Mall!

From now on, the Chaos Mall would become his wholesale market.

He was determined to be a reseller!

Huang Yu entered the world channel.

The equipment he listed yesterday had all sold out overnight, except for the Excellent Quality items.

Even the food icons had all turned gray, with not a single unit left.

This was the halo effect.

Even though food items were now very common on the trading platform.

Many lords still came to his shop to make purchases, drawn by the Huanyu name.

"I just splurged a bit, and I still have 2394 Soul Crystals left, but I also have a good amount of other basic materials!"

"1860 units of Wood, 854 units of Stone, 90 units of Fine Iron, 120 units of Iron Ore... and other miscellaneous materials."

"It looks like I'm not far from upgrading the Spark to Tier 3!"

Huang Yu showed a satisfied expression.

Since everyone was so supportive, he should give back a little.

Glancing at his warehouse reserves, Huang Yu's mood improved even further.

He listed all the items he had just purchased on the Universe Shop.

The Flame Sparrow egg, bought for 1600 Soul Crystals, was listed for 50,000.

No one could afford it right now.

But that was okay.

If Huang Yu cared about immediate profits, he wouldn't have become a reseller.

What he valued was the "Perfect" grade of the Flame Sparrow egg!

This was the gimmick he was introducing.

At this stage, besides him, which other lord could offer a Perfect grade item?

The Hulan Barracks, bought for 780 Soul Crystals, was listed by Huanyu for 2500 Soul Crystals.

The two building blueprints were listed together.

The reason for setting the price so low was entirely to accommodate the current spending power of the lords.

The discounted equipment he bought included dozens of common-grade equipment sets and 8 Excellent Grade equipment sets.

To avoid affecting the previous price points of the Universe Shop, they were mostly handled at 70% of the original price!

Various food items were practically given away at cost compared to the Chaos Mall prices.

And so, It was early morning.

The world channel exploded again!

The seven excellent-quality equipment pieces from yesterday were already shocking enough.

Who would have thought.

After one night.

Universe Shop had actually managed to get its hands on a perfect-grade pet egg!

And those two special building blueprints – Hulan Barracks.

Was Lord Huanyu insane?

These were buildings that could create excellent-quality troops!

[Good grief... I was so scared by the beast roars all night I couldn't sleep. Just as I was getting drowsy, I habitually checked Universe Shop and instantly woke up!]

[Brothers, am I still dreaming? What did I just see!]

[It's early morning, Lord Huanyu, please don't be so terrifying, okay?]

[A thousand words, a thousand feelings, all converge into one: the boss is invincible!]

[Perfect grade! It's actually perfect grade... I can't take it anymore, does the boss need a decorative pendant for his waist?]

[It feels like a truck just ran over my face... But I also want to ask, can Huanyu, my liege, add me as a friend!]

[Is Chaos Mall owned by Lord Huanyu? Where did he get so many cheap goods?]

[I'm also very curious... Are we in a survival game? Where did Lord Huanyu get so many resources? This is practically preferential treatment!]

[Hmph, the prices are set so high, who can afford them? It's simply bullying! If you can't use them yourself, can't you give them to us struggling lords?]

[Dude upstairs, go compare the prices in Chaos Mall yourself. Universe Shop's prices are already very reasonable!]

On the world channel, countless lords were discussing heatedly.

Some were curious.

Some were flattering.

Some were envious.

And naturally, some were jealous!

But in the face of the real price difference.

The jealous and resentful haters were quickly drowned out by other lords.

Of course, those who deserved to be blocked were still blocked.

Huang Yu wouldn't indulge anyone!

The goods listed in the shop were disappearing at an astonishing rate.

Even a lower-priced, excellent-quality battle axe was bought by a lord named Lan Chuan.

In the blink of an eye.

Most of the items on Universe Shop's shelves turned gray.

This indicated they were sold out.

Only a few item icons like the Flame Sparrow Pet Egg, Hulan Barracks, and Crimson Crocodile Armor remained lit.

[I just slept in a little, and I missed so many good things, sob sob sob!!!]

[Catching one Xuan Ji lord in the wild!]

[You guys are too fast, I haven't even finished browsing my own shop's items, and there's nothing left to buy!]

[Who still goes through the items again and again? After the lessons learned from the previous two times, I just click and buy now. Anyway, with Universe Shop's goods, you never lose out no matter what you buy!]

[Learned something, learned something. Will the great Huanyu be stocking equipment today? I'll try then!]

[I have to work hard today, otherwise I won't even get to drink the leftovers from great Huanyu's table...]

In the canyon.

Lin Qi's face was grim as he closed the block notification from Universe Shop.

He opened the world channel and saw the constantly popping messages, his face darkened further.

Because the subject of everyone's discussion was Lord Huanyu, who had just blocked him!

Just as Lin Qi was preparing to pay ten Soul Crystals to curse out Lord Huanyu and vent his anger, the Spark suddenly gave him a notification.

[Spark Prompt: Your territory inhabitant - Yan Xing Army No. 3's potential has been increased, becoming a Warrior!]

"Warrior!"

"Ten Yan Xing Army soldiers were lost, but finally one broke through to become a Warrior!"

Lin Qi's gloomy expression vanished.

He jumped up in excitement.

After receiving the Yan Xing Army on the first day of signing in, Lin Qi almost believed he was destined for the peak.

Who knew reality would slap him so hard.

In his first battle alongside the Yan Xing Army, he lost two soldiers.

On the way back on the first day, he was also attacked by ferocious monsters.

One Yan Xing Army soldier, to save him, had his neck bitten off by a monster, and the gushing blood splattered all over Lin Qi's face.

The tragic death of his subordinates and the foul breath of the monsters.

It terrified Lin Qi so much that he lost control of his bodily functions.

For the past two days, he hadn't dared to step half a foot outside his territory.

However, while Lin Qi was holed up in his territory, Huang Yu had provoked him all day yesterday.

Thinking of his disheveled state, Lin Qi felt a bit unbalanced.

If it weren't for that accident that cost me nearly half of my Yan Xing Army, the focus of the world chat should have been me by now!

Lin Qi felt very excited and eagerly went to the first floor of the Castle.

However, to his surprise, in the main hall on the first floor, a Yan Xing Army soldier was standing by the Spark, doing something.

"Lord!"

Noticing Lin Qi's arrival, the Yan Xing Army soldier respectfully bowed and saluted Lin Qi.

Seeing the Yan Xing Army soldier's action, Lin Qi nodded with satisfaction and spoke:

"Are you the newly born Warrior?"

"Yes, sir, my name is Yan..."

"Mm, I know!" Lin Qi waved his hand, feigning authority, and said, "Do a good job, alright? Today, you need to bring back at least 100 units of food!"

"Yes!"

The Yan Xing Army soldier pressed his waist saber, maintaining a very humble posture.

Lin Qi nodded and turned to go upstairs.

After his figure disappeared around the corner.

The Yan Xing Army Warrior straightened up.

His scarlet eyes revealed no emotion.

But on the saber hanging from his waist, the words "Huanyu-Blue Mountain" were clearly engraved!
