Chapter 410: Insufficient Income
After the dazzling white light passed, the immortals quickly looked around and saw that the sword in Zhang Ye's hand was intact, with a cold light like lightning. Looking at Master Liu's shield again, although it still retains its overall shape, it is already full of cracks.
"Oh no, before I finished speaking, Master Wu's Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure turned into powder!" When the little guy who explained said this, he could no longer continue. The Chaos Spiritual Treasure defeated the Hongmeng Treasure and had nothing to say.
All the immortals in the audience were stunned for a long time, then cheered like thunder, and finally gathered into one sentence: "Master Zhang! Master Zhang!"
It's not that Master Liu's Hongmeng Treasure is not good, it's entirely because Master Zhang's Chaos Spirit Treasure is so powerful that it completely convinced everyone, so passers-by turned to fans and cheered for Zhang Ye.
Shopkeeper Wu's face turned livid, then turned from green to purple, and shouted: "Stop shouting, the one with the higher rank will win this bet, and the winner is still Master Liu of Baolai Pavilion!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Although Master Zhang won the duel between the two magic weapons, the bet said in black and white that the rank would win.
Although they felt that Shopkeeper Wu was a bit disdainful for doing this, everyone could not find a reason to refute it.
"Master Zhang, if this is the case, I will take back the shop first." Shopkeeper Wu had a gloomy face. Before he finished speaking, Master Liu on the side came to his senses and said decisively: "No, I lost."
Shopkeeper Wu roared: "Master Liu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to defend." Master Liu bowed his hands to Zhang Ye, "I am convinced that I lost."
Zhang Ye previously learned Master Liu's reverse refining method and deduced it to perfection. Master Liu was convinced at that time. Later, Zhang Ye really used the Chaos Spiritual Treasure to defeat the Hongmeng Treasure. Master Liu was convinced.
Master Liu surrendered, and Shopkeeper Wu could not change the outcome no matter how hard he argued. His face was disgraced, and the argument for winning with high rank could no longer be sustained. For this reason, Shopkeeper Wu yelled: "Liu Quanyou, I gave you face, didn't I?" ?”
Master Liu took a sideways look and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, I would like to advise you that those who do unjust things will be punished by death. This is my resignation letter."
A blacksmith of Master Liu's level is so big in the world that he can't go anywhere. If Shopkeeper Wu dares to curse, Master Liu will not bow his head, and the worst is to break up.
Seeing Master Liu resigning so simply, Shopkeeper Wu felt reluctant and wanted to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when so many people were staring at him.
At this moment, Zhang Ye said: "I borrowed it." He walked out of the blacksmith shop and went to the other two adjacent shops, raising his sword to kill.
Shopkeeper Wu was shocked and shouted angrily: "Zhang Ye, how dare you!"
"If you lose these two shops to me, they will be mine. Why don't you dare?" Zhang Ye slashed down with his sword, and the two splendid shops were immediately reduced to ruins.
Shopkeeper Wu's eyes seemed to be spitting fire: "Zhang Ye, I'm going to kill you!" At this moment, Shopkeeper Wu didn't care about the consequences. He only had one thought, and that was to kill Zhang Ye.
"Come here!" Immediately, brilliance circulated in Baolai Pavilion, and strong men descended one after another, surrounding Zhang Ye. There were more than twenty people, and everyone was an Immortal Emperor. Among them, there were three in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor, and one in the late stage. With this kind of lineup, Zhang Ye can hardly fly.
The onlookers knew that the matter was serious. Although they were not ashamed of Shopkeeper Wu and could not afford to lose, no one dared to say anything and gave in one after another.
Shopkeeper Wu came to Zhang Ye: "Master Zhang, I will give you one last chance to sell the shop to me, Baolai Pavilion, and then join Baolai Pavilion yourself, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Zhang Ye had estimated the strength of Baolai Pavilion and saw that there were no surprises among the more than twenty immortal emperors. Zhang Ye was about to say something when suddenly Master Liu jumped into the encirclement and came to Zhang Ye's side: "Master Zhang, I lost the duel. According to the request, my life is yours. I will hold them back, and you can leave quickly. "
Although this Master Liu was a bit arrogant, he had a good character. Zhang Ye had no intention of taking his life. However, Master Liu was willing to risk his life to help him at this juncture. He was a solid man.
Zhang Ye said: "Master Liu, the idea of betting one's life is just child's play. Go ahead and avoid getting burned."
But Master Liu refused to listen, and Shopkeeper Wu was furious: "Liu Quanyou, although you have made great contributions to Baolai Pavilion, do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
"You can't treat a forging master like Master Zhang with courtesy, but you can only imagine how you feel about treating other blacksmiths. Regardless of whether you agree or not, from today on, this master no longer belongs to Baolai Pavilion!" Master Liu's words were sonorous, which inexplicably attracted cheers from the onlookers.
Shopkeeper Wu gritted his teeth, what the hell is this? "Well, since you are looking for death, you can't blame me!"
Just when Shopkeeper Wu ordered the attack, there was only a sound of piercing the sky, and beams of light fell on the rooftops on both sides of the street, turning into powerful Immortal Emperors.
One or two...ninety-nine, a hundred! The onlookers counted clearly, a hundred Immortal Emperors, my God, Baolai Pavilion's background is so powerful, passers-by looked at Shopkeeper Wu with admiration.
How could Shopkeeper Wu not know what everyone was thinking, but he looked confused because these Immortal Emperors were not from Baolai Pavilion.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperors who lined up on the roof raised their hands and saluted: "We belong to the major mercenary companies and are hired by Master Zhang. We are here here, but we are here to serve!"
The voice of the Hundred Immortal Emperors rumbled like thunder. Everyone present looked at Zhang Ye in surprise as if they were struck by lightning.
Damn it, you hired a hundred Immortal Emperors. Did you hire all the Immortal Emperors in the mercenary area?
Everyone thought that the more than 20 immortal emperors in Baolai Pavilion were very powerful, but compared with Zhang Ye's lineup, they were nothing.
Zhang Ye said: "You came at the right time, just stand on the roof."
"Yes!" The immortal emperor mercenaries were very cultured and immediately stood guard on the roof. It was true that you get what you pay for.
Zhang Ye ignored Shopkeeper Wu and walked straight to his shop. The people in Baolai Pavilion really didn't dare to stop him at all, and they all made way. Zhang Ye returned to his shop like this.
"Oh, I forgot to say that from today, our shop specializes in forging spiritual treasures, supports renovation, polishing, waxing, and a large number of waste spiritual treasures are recycled..." As soon as Zhang Ye finished speaking, the onlookers squeezed towards the small magical blacksmith shop like crazy.
The huge Baolai Pavilion was actually empty. It felt like I didn't walk on the Yangguan Avenue, but I just loved the single-plank bridge.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at this scene with a sullen face. Zhang Ye never looked at him straight in the eyes from beginning to end. This was more uncomfortable than humiliating him.
But Shopkeeper Wu could not do anything but endure it. These one hundred immortal emperors were like a towering mountain. Shopkeeper Wu dared not cross the line.
Some people would say that Baolai Pavilion, such a big shot, also invited hundreds of immortal emperors to sit in. It is true that Baolai Pavilion is a big family with a big business and has the financial resources, but the problem is that the purpose of Baolai Pavilion is to make a profit. The immortal emperor masters and forging masters that are supported on weekdays are already a huge expense. Zhang Ye is a bachelor. If Baolai Pavilion wants to engage in an arms race with Zhang Ye, it will only be dragged to death.
Besides, Shopkeeper Wu also has the mentality of watching a good show. The hiring fee of these one hundred immortal emperors must not be cheap. Let's see how long you, Zhang Ye, can hold on!
So, Shopkeeper Wu swallowed his anger and returned to Baolai Pavilion with his subordinates.
Zhang Ye chose to reopen today after defeating Baolai Pavilion, not only because he wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but also because the 100 hired Immortal Emperors had arrived to take charge, so he no longer had to worry about Baolai Pavilion doing bad things.
If Baolai Pavilion dared to kill guests and cause trouble again, Zhang Ye would have a reason to destroy Baolai Pavilion directly. Even if the law enforcers of the Wanjie Market came out to uphold justice, they would only say that Baolai Pavilion deserved it.
As for Shopkeeper Wu's wish to see Zhang Ye's joke of not being able to hire an Immortal Emperor in a few days, this wish might not come true. Although Zhang Ye could not use many functions of the system, he learned the method of reverse refining, which was enough to recycle those discarded treasures at a low price, which was enough to turn waste into treasure. Not to mention the forging fee, he could make a lot of money just by this.
Because the blacksmith shop defeated Baolai Pavilion today, and it was the Chaos Spirit Treasure that defeated the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, so the original Baolai Pavilion customers all rushed to the blacksmith shop. Who wouldn't want to spend less money to get a better spiritual treasure? In order to compete with Zhang Ye, Shopkeeper Wu unexpectedly discounted the price that had remained unchanged for ten thousand years by 10%.
Considering that Zhang Ye only had one pair of hands and could not handle so many people, a group of customers still returned to Baolai Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Wu had a lot of ideas, but at this moment, Zhang Ye posted a notice at the door of the blacksmith shop - "For customers waiting in line outside the blacksmith shop, every day of delay will be reduced by half, and the lowest is 50% off."
At this time, those treasure seekers were like crazy, and Shopkeeper Wu couldn't stop them. After all, as long as you queue outside Zhang Ye's shop, you can get a discount, and if you calculate it, you can get a 50% discount if you queue for ten days, and forge the corresponding spiritual treasure at half price. Where can you find such a good thing?
Compared with this, the 10% discount promotion of Baolai Pavilion is nothing.
Anyone who is not in a hurry to get a spiritual treasure ran to the door of the blacksmith shop to queue up, and soon, the whole street was crowded.
Some people gloated over the misfortune and encouraged Shopkeeper Wu to come to Baolai Pavilion as long as the price was lower than 50%. Shopkeeper Wu had a hard time saying it. There was a high failure rate in refining spiritual treasures. Master Liu, who had the lowest failure rate, was forced to leave by himself. If he gave a further discount, he would only lose money and close down.
So even if the business was pitifully small and the income was not enough to cover the expenses, Shopkeeper Wu would not give a discount anymore. On the contrary, he was thinking maliciously in his heart that Zhang Ye dared to do this just to burn money to fight a price war. Baolai Pavilion’s best strategy was to use static to control dynamics.
But after two days, Zhang Ye still operated at this discount. Shopkeeper Wu could not sit still and asked someone to inquire. He was dumbfounded.
Zhang Ye dared to give such a low discount not because he was burning money to fight a price war, but because Zhang Ye had never failed in refining spiritual treasures, with a 100% success rate!
Without loss, the cost is low, and the price can naturally be reduced. In addition, Zhang Ye could extract the same amount of raw materials from the worthless old Lingbao, so the cost was almost zero, so Zhang Ye dared to do this.
Gradually, Zhang Ye, the madman, did not collapse, but Baolai Pavilion could not hold on any longer.
