Wolf Pelt Prices Soar; Others Fear, I Greed
After Wu Huihui and the other players quickly collected the loot, they went to support the players on the lower levels.
Level 5 monsters are exceptionally difficult to deal with.
The battle is still raging on the other floors, and some people's names have already faded into obscurity in the Chat Room.
Xu Lang remained calm and showed no intention of helping.
If even this little bit of pressure is too much for the players below, they'll have a hard time surviving later on, and they might even be accused of stealing monsters if they go.
Of course, the most important reason is that he doesn't want to take any risks.
Forget about being ambushed; Li Shuwen alone wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat him.
While it's possible to quickly upgrade the Jade Burial Suit, that would disrupt your character's development pace, so it's unnecessary.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his dormitory, a figure climbed up the stairs and said to Xu Lang, "Lang Ge, Lang Ge, do you still need tenants here?"
This player, hurrying about, is none other than Zhu Yan, who has become Roamer.
He was in a panic because he couldn't access Chat Room or Trading Network.
"What do you think?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow and asked.
Zhu Yan chuckled awkwardly. Although he had been Xu Lang's classmate, the two had no personal relationship.
Moreover, Xu Lang has killed countless classmates.
"Why don't you try working with Li Shuwen? At least you have a wall-hanging skill, which is pretty good," Xu Lang said calmly.
He didn't want to be too friendly to outsiders, just like he had been to Cao Yaxuan initially.
"Okay, thanks for the guidance, Lang Ge!" Zhu Yan replied, then couldn't help but complain, "I was so blinded by greed back then, always thinking someone was trying to harm me and become the landlord. I wasted so many resources, and now they're all ruined."
Many highly educated individuals aspire to start their own businesses, only to later discover that their prestigious degrees are merely the minimum requirement for interviewing entry-level positions at large companies.
That's Zhu Yan's current situation.
Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of gaming experience.
Zhu Yan walked away quickly, already mentally prepared to make a good impression on Li Shuwen.
"What a pity, none of the three Frost Ghost Centurion dropped any skill scrolls."
"It's alright, his skills don't seem to suit us very well anyway."
"Ouch, it's so cold! Quick, start a fire!"
Inside Dormitory 200, the girls hurriedly lit a fire.
"Would you like to wear a few more wolf pelts?" Xu Lang asked.
"Wearing too many clothes is uncomfortable," Cao Yaxuan her head and refused.
If other players heard this, they'd be grinding their teeth in anger.
With only a few days left in the game, Xu Lang sat by the fire pit and discussed the matter with the girls. They unanimously decided to sell the wolf pelts in batches.
This thing is extremely time-sensitive; once this round of the game is over, its value will plummet.
He currently has nearly sixty wolf pelts, while the market price for wolf pelts has already exceeded two thousand Copper Coin, with the resistance level at three thousand Copper Coin.
Xu Lang had no background in finance, but his level of expertise far surpassed that of Zhou Daha.
That means you can't cut the chives too much, otherwise it will harm the ecological environment.
If all sixty wolf pelts were sold, that would be 180,000.
This may not kill off a few hundred players, but it can certainly stagnate market liquidity for a while.
Furthermore, if he doesn't sell wolf pelts, no one else can go out and create value for him... Who will he sell his Blood Crystals to then? Besides, he still has the Bloodflame Lantern to sell.
While the group was discussing this, the price of wolf pelts suddenly broke through three thousand Copper Coin.
The monsters have all been killed, and the Frost Ghost Guard have run off carrying the throne.
At this moment, the first thing everyone needs to do is go out and canvass the buildings!
The most important tool for going out to raid buildings is a wolf pelt!
Seeing that the wolf pelts on the Trading Network were sold out, Xu Lang began to ship them out, listing ten wolf pelts at once.
[49 Zhu Yan: Haha, Lang Ge is so generous! Quickly put up a few more wolf pelts!]
[43 Hu Zhiwei: Lang Ge, how many wolf pelts do you still have?]
[186 Wu Huihui: Hey, take a picture of me too!]
[200 Xu Lang: @Wu Huihui, didn't I already trade you a few?]
[186 Wu Huihui: Not enough]
Shivering in the freezing cold, Wu Huihui ran into the cafeteria.
Only those of them who live outside know how cold the weather is.
Just then, a transaction notification popped up.
[Xu Lang has proposed a deal with you. Do you agree or disagree?]
Wu Huihui's eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked "agree".
Immediately afterwards, the other party asked a question.
[200 Xu Lang: How much do you want?]
[186 Wu Huihui: Three cards, both Xiao Zhu and Tingting want them!]
After she finished speaking, she entered nine thousand Copper Coin, and three wolf pelts were put up for sale on the other end.
The two parties reached a deal.
In less than three minutes, Xu Lang earned 39,000 Copper Coin!
This is faster than robbery!
Xu Lang's lips curled into a pleased smile. He opened the Chat Room to continue observing market sentiment, while having Tong Qi keep an eye on the price of wolf pelts on the Trading Network.
[Zhou Daha: Xu Lang, bro, do you still have any wolf pelts? Sell them all, don't hoard them. If everyone can't go out, you won't be able to find them in many places, it'll be a waste of resources.]
[Wang Han: Xu Lang, yeah, boss, stop hoarding, I want to go out and shop around!]
[77 Yu Bao: @Xu Lang, I also want to go out and shop, but I'm out of money. Could you give me the wolf pelt first, and I'll give you half of the supplies I find?]
[168 Li Li: I second that! Without wolf skins, we can't even leave the house. Those who have wolf skins will devour all the natural resources!]
[22 Zhao Liang: I know some brothers are hoarding goods, but everyone is out of money and can't buy your goods. Hurry up and put the wolf pelts on the shelves.]
Just then, Tong Qi called out, "Lang Ge, someone has listed a Frost Wolf pelt for four thousand Copper Coin!"
They actually raised the price by a thousand Copper Coin?!
Xu Lang was surprised and was about to open the Trading Network to check when Tong Qi said again, "It's already been snapped up!"
"Hahaha, the wolf pelts have reached four thousand!" Zhou Daha clapped his hands and laughed.
He just ordered his underlings to put the wolf skin on the shelves, with the aim of igniting market sentiment.
And now, everything is going in the direction he predicted.
After discovering that a wolf pelt was selling for four thousand Copper Coin, many people exclaimed that it was unbelievable, and other individual investors also started listing wolf pelts for sale.
"Buy, buy, buy! Take all the goods!" Zhou Daha shouted loudly.
"Brother Ha, people in the Chat Room are already saying this price is unreasonable," a henchman quickly said. "If it goes any higher..."
If prices rise any higher, people might just switch to buying timber and stay home instead of going out to sell timber.
Zhou Daha shouted loudly:
"How many times have I told you, trading goes against human nature. Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful. Don't you understand this simple principle?!"
"Also, you guys go and give a piece of your mind to all those players who are spreading negative comments!"
"These are all troublemakers trying to drive down prices!"
"A mere retail investor dares to challenge the big players!"
