The Biggest and Strongest Piracy Merchant Has Arrived

It wasn't that Ye Zhiming insisted on finding this Anonymous, wanting to get to know them. It was simply that the other party possessed so much.

Hundreds of billions of Luck Points.

And in the foreseeable future, this number would break through to over a hundred billion in a short time, and even more.

A hundred billion, that was the total income from two years of Da Gan. How could one not be tempted?

Although it was only in terms of Luck Points, it was still an excessive amount.

In a way, this Anonymous was already as rich as a nation.

Being so wealthy, could he borrow a little, oh no, donate a little? That should be acceptable, right?

No, it was absolutely acceptable.

Even the famously wealthy Shen Wansan, who was as rich as a nation, wasn't it the same? He also had to frequently donate this and that to Old Zhu. Otherwise...

As the current Emperor of Da Gan, what was wrong with Ye Zhiming asking the other party to donate some Luck Points?

Besides, "Under the heavens, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the land, all people are the king's subjects."

Ye Zhiming didn't feel there was anything wrong with his thoughts.

Wasn't this how it should be?

It was just that he couldn't find this person right now.

Besides, if it were a large organization, Ye Zhiming wouldn't have much to say. If you earn a lot, you naturally spend a lot.

For example, Taoism, Confucianism, and those great families like the Zhao, Liu, Li, and Zhu families, etc. How many of them didn't have tens or even hundreds of thousands of people? If they didn't earn much, it wouldn't be enough to sustain them.

But based on the existing information, this Anonymous was at most a small group, or even purely an individual. In that case, it was truly not good for them to possess so much.

Regarding this matter, Ye Zhiming pondered in secret, deciding to take it slow.

"By the way, Lord Lang, I'm particularly curious about one thing. How did you manage to solve these hundreds of thousands of problems in just two or three days?"

As far as Ye Zhiming knew, the talents in numerology in Da Gan's Central Capital alone shouldn't have been able to do it so quickly, as each problem required an accurate answer.

Actually, if the problems could be directly copied, a few days would indeed be enough.

But there was a problem here. If the divine abilities were to be uploaded to the Heavenly Dao Virtual Net for sale, the similarity of the divine abilities couldn't be too high. In other words, they couldn't be plagiarized directly; they could only be borrowed.

Yes, borrowed.

The framework, rules, and even functions of the [Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage] divine ability were beyond their current ability to modify, or rather, there was no need to modify them. Therefore, they could only focus on the problems.

They needed to come up with problems where at least half of them were different.

This was why Ye Zhiming was curious how his Prime Minister of Da Gan had solved this problem. After all, the number of problems required was considerable, and there were only about a dozen masters in numerology in the Central Capital.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lang Jingbo first gave an embarrassed chuckle, then said, "Your Majesty, we actually have to thank that Anonymous."

"Thank that Anonymous?"

"Didn't they recently release a problem generation function? After generating a problem, it directly provides the answer, and you can even know if this problem has appeared before. Based on this, we found over a thousand people skilled in numerology in the academies of the Central Capital. It took them two days to solve the 500,000 problems."

Towards the end, Lang Jingbo even chuckled secretly. Although they couldn't find this Anonymous, the other party would never guess that the new divine ability they copied, oh no, borrowed, came about this way. Otherwise, just generating these hundreds of thousands of problems, verifying answers, and checking for duplicates would have tied them up for dozens of days.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Ye Zhiming heard this and chuckled with sudden realization, "This divine ability can be used like this."

He knew it. How could Prime Minister Lang's speed be so fast? He had previously thought they would have to rely on the few hundred or thousand problems passed down from their ancestors to make do.

It seemed the other party had indeed been a great help to him.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiming wanted to meet this Anonymous even more. He really, really wanted to thank them in person.

At this moment, Prime Minister Lang added, "Your Majesty, actually, our 'Multiple Solutions to One Question' problem was also solved this way. Otherwise, it would have probably cost several hundred million."

"It seems we truly have to thank this Anonymous."

In his heart, Ye Zhiming couldn't help but sigh. This Anonymous was truly a good person.

A good person, I really want to meet you.

As for whether it was a simple meeting or something else, that would have to be asked of Ye Zhiming himself.

"Alright, Lord Lang, resolve this matter as soon as possible. So we can seize the Luck Points of other countries, and even other races. You must know that this is a great contribution that benefits the present and the future. We absolutely cannot be negligent."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Lang responded, but he did not leave the Imperial Study. Instead, he stepped forward, "Your Majesty, we still have one problem that has not been resolved."

"There's still a problem?"

Ye Zhiming frowned. Weren't the problems here already solved?

Even the ones that couldn't be solved were smoothed over with Luck Points. Why were there still issues?

Next, all he had to do was upload this Supernatural Power to the Heavenly Dao Virtual Net and lie there earning Luck Points.

"Your Majesty, we've finished the Supernatural Power. How should we promote it?"

"Promote it?

Isn't it the same as usual? Promote the Great Righteousness, and try to appeal to everyone to buy our Human Race's..."

"Wait, this Anonymous is also from the Human Race?"

At this moment, Ye Zhiming suddenly realized that the situation this time was indeed different from the past.

In the past, when other races created a useful Supernatural Power or Classic, the Human Race would quickly learn from it.

After learning from it, whether it was the country or the Hundred Schools of Thought, they would promote it from the perspective of Great Righteousness, saying that Luck Points could not flow out.

Most clansmen could understand this and supported it.

But this time was different. This time, Anonymous was also from the Human Race.

This made things a bit difficult.

Now that everything was ready, was he going to fail at this final step?

Ye Zhiming felt inexplicably annoyed. What if he spent the Luck Points and couldn't earn back the cost in the end?

Wait, if the price was set at one hundred Luck Points, he would have to sell ten million copies just to break even.

Without the Great Righteousness to promote it, and without the first-mover advantage, coupled with competition from other forces and even countries, Ye Zhiming honestly wasn't confident about selling ten million copies.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiming understood the difficulty of the matter. "Lord Lang, what are your thoughts on your end?"

At this moment, Prime Minister Lang cautiously glanced at their Emperor, then nodded slightly, lowered his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, my suggestion is to cooperate with others. First, popularize it in academies, the army, and various local government offices, and then slowly expand the scale."

After speaking, Lang Jingbo remained silent, quietly waiting for the Emperor's decision.

"Cooperate?"

Ye Zhiming muttered softly, then fell into thought.

In the past, the benefits of learning from others' Supernatural Powers were small, and few people competed for the market, so there was no need for cooperation.

But this time was different. The benefits were so huge that everyone could see them, and the cost wasn't too high, so there would definitely be many participants.

But the market was limited, so cooperation was necessary, otherwise, everyone would be shouting themselves hoarse at a loss.

However, since they were going to cooperate, they naturally had to share the benefits with others, thereby reducing competitors and even spreading the cost.

Within the Human Race, their imperial family's competitors were Da Chu, Da Wei, and the various Hundred Schools of Thought scattered throughout the Human Race, as well as the major clans.

Wait.

The Human Race had a population of one hundred billion. If only one-tenth wanted to buy this Supernatural Power, which was currently used for learning, the total sales should be around one billion copies.

With a price of one hundred, if they wanted to not lose money, they would have to sell ten million copies.

In other words, in the Human Race market, at most one hundred schools could earn back their costs.

This also had to exclude the sales share of that 'Anonymous', and it might be even less.

So, in reality, even fewer could earn back their costs.

Moreover, if the competition became too fierce, no one would make any profit. In the end, they could only rely on time to grind them down, and the next generation to buy.

But this was also uncertain. What if someone in the future discovered a cheaper solution? Then, if these forces with large upfront investments couldn't recover their costs in time, they would truly have no hope.

Looking at it this way, they really needed to find someone to cooperate with. Otherwise, their ten billion would be wasted.

After calculating for a long time, Ye Zhiming finally clarified the key to the problem. Then he shouted outside the door: "Someone, go and invite Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Wang."

"Jingbo, don't rush. Let's wait until Chengyao and Huaizu arrive, and then we'll discuss it in detail and see how we should cooperate."

Prime Minister Lang Jingbo nodded and said, "Yes!"

Negotiations with other forces were not his responsibility. He could at most offer suggestions.

That night, Lu Mingyuan, as usual, checked the sales status of his Supernatural Power.

"En, the situation is not bad, almost thirty billion."

To be honest, only now did Lu Mingyuan truly understand the feelings of the wealthy people in his previous life.

For him now, these Luck Points were really just numbers. Even if there were more, they couldn't stir any waves in his heart anymore.

Suddenly, Lu Mingyuan noticed that under the search term 'Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage', many people from the second place onwards had been replaced?

"What is this?

Are they removed from shelves?

But that's unlikely. Although they can't compare to mine, they can slowly add more questions. And this is all exposure, why would they be removed from shelves for no reason?"

Because by default, searches are sorted by time, so the sorting below Lu Mingyuan's supernatural powers shouldn't change.

Suddenly, Lu Mingyuan seemed to realize something. He quickly changed the sorting method to sort by sales share.

"Damn, how did I get to fortieth place? Wasn't I first a few days ago? Dropped so fast?"

"Let me see, this second place is from the Fox race, the third is from the Monkey race, followed by the Rat Clan, Snake Clan..."

"They're all from other races. This...

Could it be that those major powers have entered the game?"

Realizing this, Lu Mingyuan almost exclaimed.

Only they could surpass him in sales share in such a short time.

Lu Mingyuan was the same. If the quality and price of goods were the same, he would definitely buy clan products.

There was no doubt about that.

"What's coming has finally come."

"Then the removal from shelves of those above should also be to clear out the freelancers. When they are relisted, their rankings should be at the very bottom.

Let me check if that's the case?"

Afterward, Lu Mingyuan kept scrolling backward in the time sort until around the five hundredth place, where he found a familiar name, "Wan Dongliu".

If he remembered correctly, this person was originally ranked ninth. But now...

"It's just as I thought."

"They really entered the game. The biggest pirate merchant. And the strongest pirate merchant."

"Fortunately, I still have some advantage, and I haven't been exposed yet.

Otherwise, I might have opened the pot myself but ended up not even getting a sip of soup.

It seems I need to be careful next time.

This time, I'll deal with it after I'm done with my current tasks."

Lu Mingyuan had long anticipated the involvement of various races, countries, and other major powers. If he were in their position, he would do the same.

Setting aside the issue of making money, luck points definitely couldn't be leaked.

Otherwise, others would use these luck points to develop divine abilities to attack them.
