"You're just going to reveal your weakness to them like that? Are you sure nothing will go wrong?"

A few days later, inside the general store, Jack was wearing weights all over his body as he performed one-finger handstand push-ups on his right thumb, chatting with Zuo Ci to pass the time.

Since he was genuinely one of Zuo Ci's own, Jack actually knew a great deal, including information about Nth Metal. He knew it could suppress magic and grant people all sorts of powerful, incredible abilities.

Now that Zuo Ci had deliberately revealed that fact to the other side, he couldn't help worrying a little.

"Worried? What do I have to worry about?

You need to understand: I'm the supplier they contacted to buy the goods, I'm the middleman running around arranging everything, and I'm even the distributor shipping and delivering the goods.

Their money is all mine, and the goods are fake anyway, so what do I have to worry about? That they'll report me to the Consumer Association?"

Zuo Ci nonchalantly polished his beautiful golden Buddha on its jade pedestal.

With the system's help, Zuo Ci had created countless alternate accounts this time, leading those idiots around by the nose.

He had raked in almost a hundred million from this round alone. It was positively delightful.

"But won't they find out? You gave them fake goods, after all."

"Relax. They might be fake, but they're still a metal that doesn't exist in this world. They won't be able to tell."

To keep those guys from actually discovering anything wrong, Zuo Ci had simply bought a chunk of Warhammer adamantium from the Shop and sent it over.

Although its name sounded impressive, the stuff was an utterly commonplace construction material in Warhammer. Even hive cities had it everywhere.
