Chapter 369: Game Within a Game!

The Shen family in Zhoucheng.

"What? The Lin family is selling gold like crazy, and the fifth-order elemental crystals in stock have been used up?"

Shen Yi raised her eyelids, her eyes full of surprise:

"I remember two hours ago, wasn't the Lin family still on a spree of acquisitions?"

“Why is the selling suddenly starting now?”

"I don't know..." The disciple of the Shen family who came to report was even more confused about the situation, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask for a decision:

"Master, now the price of gold has dropped to the point where 10 fourth-order crystals can be exchanged for one kilogram. Should we increase our purchasing efforts?"

Shen Yi pondered for a moment and opened the data panel.

"Wait a minute, let me ask You Leizi."

Although the Shen family and the You family are far apart, they can be said to have a close relationship among human-level families.

The strength and position are already among the best.

After forming an alliance, you can even compete with prefecture-level families.

So when You Mingyang discovered that the Lin family's hoarding of gold seemed to be profitable, he also called the Shen family in Zhoucheng.

The original intention was to make a fortune together.

Be bigger and stronger and create greater glory!

It was also because Shen Yi had a good cooperation with Youjia before that she spent a lot of money to gamble with Youjia.

As a result, something went wrong halfway through, causing embarrassment to both families.

After a while, You Mingyang's reply came from the chat box:

"I have sent personnel to investigate the Lin family's massive sales of gold."

"Currently, we suspect that this is a trick played by that old guy Lin Tianxia, ​​who wants to lower the gold purchase price."

"Master Shen, don't worry too much, just keep buying gold."

"You say it as if you have control over the overall situation." Shen Yi's lips curved into a mocking arc.

Instead of continuing the conversation with You Mingyang, he changed the chat box and entered:

"Master Bai, have you noticed the change in the purchase price of gold?"

This time there was no reply immediately, Shen Yi waited for a long time.

About fifteen minutes later, the news came.

But it's not news, it's a candid video.

In the picture, Lin Tianxia, ​​the head of the Lin family, was preaching something with a red face.

And below, there is a huge crowd of civilian players surrounding them.

"In order to reward everyone for their hard work day after day, the Lin family has decided to provide Yuan Jing for free to help everyone improve their level!"

"Everyone is divided into groups according to age and gender, lines up, and goes to the distribution center one by one to receive it!"

"Don't be anxious, and don't rush to grab it, everyone has a share!"

There were suspicious looks on the faces of the crowd, but they still spontaneously formed groups and lined up according to the instructions.

Everyone seemed to feel that it was impossible for the Lin family to waste Yuan Jing on civilian players like them with rubbish talents and abilities.

Distributing Yuan Jing is just a show.

It wasn't until someone actually received the Yuan Jing and upgraded it several levels after absorbing it that there were waves of surprised low-pitched shouts from the crowd.

"I'm going. Is it true that the Lin family is here?!"

"I didn't expect that my bronze talent would one day be able to use second-order elemental crystals?"

"It's great. I've been upgraded to three levels in a row. I feel full of strength all over my body!"

"What kind of plane is the Lin family doing? Why are they suddenly so kind and giving us civilian players a level up?"

"Look at what you said, you are so heartless! Did the Lin family treat you badly before?"

"Yes, I will provide you with food and drink, so that you can rest safely at night. May I ask, which shelter can take such care of civilian players?"

"The treatment of civilians in Sakura is much better than ours. They don't have to work, they have food and drink, and are protected by strong men!"

"Tch, did they get the Yuan Jing? Did they improve their level? If you envy them so much, why are you still staying in China? Go to Sakura!"

"Yeah, no one is forcing you to stay here. Without you, we can still share more Yuanjing!"

The civilian players who envied Sakura were quickly silenced and stopped making any sound.

Video screen rotation.

From the noisy but basic civilian players who maintained order, they moved to a more private corner.

Yuan Jing is also being distributed there.

It's just that compared to the low-level Yuan Jing obtained by civilian players, the Yuan Jing obtained by the Lin family's disciples is of a much higher level.

Most of them are fourth-order elemental crystals.

Occasionally, you can get fifth-order or even sixth-order elemental crystals!

Everyone had smiles on their faces and kept praising the master of the family for his superb strategy:

"Who said that our head, Lin, is old and dizzy? He is obviously very scheming and impeccable!"

"How can those foolish young men understand the master's foresight? I'm afraid they are still in the dark!"

"How about saying 'Ginger is still spicier'?"

"First spend a small price to increase the value of gold, and then cash it out at the highest point and exchange it for useful crystals!"

"Trick those idiots who follow the trend and hoard goods, hahaha..."

"Oh, I feel even more happy when I think that the Yuan Jing we used to upgrade our level was obtained by other family forces with all their lives!"

"In this life, we will be with the Lin family master, so we can have fun secretly!"

"Keep a low profile, but don't get carried away. Maybe the walls have ears and the news leaks out..."

While he was talking, a member of the Lin family with thick lips looked towards the screen.

As if he had discovered the person taking the secret photo, his eyebrows stood up and he suddenly shouted:

"Who is there!!"

The sound was so loud that Shen Yi, who was watching carefully, almost scared to death.

The video ends abruptly.

This was followed by a brief message from Bai Chunfeng:

"It is recommended to wait and see."

Shen Yi frowned more and more.

From the information we have obtained so far, the situation seems to be very clear.

This is an obvious "pig killing scheme".

Cash out at a high point.

Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, gold did have irreplaceable value.

Whether from an industrial perspective or the extra bonus brought by its scarcity.

But after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the industrial system collapsed and new rules came.

Gold has lost its original function.

Even if scarcity still exists,

but things that have no value in themselves, and no strong background as a guarantee,

are no different from stones on the ground.

Do you want to sell a lot to get back the investment?

From Shen Yi's point of view,

the gold that was purchased with second-level and third-level crystals is now sold at the price of fourth-level crystals.

Once the difference is reduced, you can still make a profit.

But if you follow Bai Chunfeng's advice and wait and see...

when she wants to sell again, the price of gold may drop another level.

You Laizi may really not know, and you need to send people to investigate.

But Bai Chunfeng...

Thinking to this point, Shen Yi was in a dilemma.

As a land-level family, the Bai family had hoarded much more gold than the human-level Shen family.

Perhaps the other party's "temporary wait and see" was just to stabilize the Shen family.

So that he could secretly sell the gold and gain more benefits?

There was no friendship in front of the family.

What's more, the relationship between her and Bai Chunfeng was just some flesh and blood transactions.

It should not be enough to maintain a close relationship of advancing and retreating together.

Just as Shen Yi was hesitating, footsteps suddenly came to her ears.

A beautiful figure came gracefully.
