Chapter 97: Middlemen Make a Profit From the Price Difference

With a try-it attitude, Qi Yuan poured the spring water concentrate directly into an empty wooden barrel.

Then, he added an appropriate amount of clean water.

Uh... add... an appropriate amount of clean water? !

Qi Yuan's brain suddenly crashed, and he always felt that something was... not normal.

But for a moment, he didn't know exactly where the problem was.

As the clean water was poured into the wooden barrel, the spring water dilution was dissolved.

Finally... another bucket of spring water was obtained!

"This..." Qi Yuan's mouth twitched, and he seemed to understand where the problem was.

But he still didn't give up. What if the spring water obtained in this way would be different?

Called an ordinary black tiger bee and immersed it in it.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, five minutes...

Not only did the black tiger bee not break through, it didn't even react, and drank a mouthful of spring water by the way.

"It seems useless." Qi Yuan took out the black tiger bee on the spot, feeling a little helpless.

Sure enough, rare resources are not so easy to be artificially created.

Qi Yuan was still unwilling to give up, so he tried again.

He purified the spring water again, and fed the concentrated spring water directly to the black tiger bee.

But the result was even worse!

The black tiger bee could not bear the high concentration of spiritual liquid at all, and was directly bleed all over by the powerful energy, and died of exhaustion soon.

Alas!

Qi Yuan sighed and finally gave up.

It was a bit unrealistic to want to artificially make rare-grade water milk.

But this attempt was not completely fruitless.

At least, the quality of the spring water purified by the spiritual pond has indeed improved a lot.

If the original spring water was only of excellent-grade medium quality.

Then the quality of the concentrated spring water should have reached the top of the excellent grade.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but wonder, if he put himself in the spiritual pond, after purification, would his strength be enhanced?

No!

It is more likely that there should be a pool of rotten meat on the left and a bottle of spiritual liquid on the right.

Shaking his head, he threw away the unrealistic idea.

Qi Yuan tried to sell the spring water concentrate to the store to see how much it was worth.

Since the emergence of public stores, Qi Yuan often tried to trade various materials to the store.

This was also to compare which resource had a higher exchange rate for spirit coins.

Although now, there are relatively few items sold in the store and the quality is not high.

But no one can say for sure, maybe one day, a few top-quality props will suddenly appear?

After many experiments by Qi Yuan, he has a lot of experience.

Some items are obviously useless, but the exchange rate for spirit coins is very high.

Similarly, there are some resources that are actually very useful and belong to very important strategic resources.

But the exchange rate for spirit coins is very low.

For example, healing potions.

Because the way stores determine the value of items is based on the spiritual power contained in the items.

The more spiritual power content, the higher the value.

It does not take into account that healing potions have a life-saving effect.

Of course, these rules only apply to acquisitions.

If you want to buy from the store, the system is still very clear about the function and significance of the props, and it will never sell at a low price.

It's just pure profiteers when selling, and crazy and stupid when buying.

Qi Yuan traded 1ml of spring water concentrate to the store as usual.

Dinglingdangdang.

A pile of spirit coins appeared, the number was about 20 spirit coins.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 23! 24!

At first, Qi Yuan didn't react at all, until he counted to the 21st, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, there's something wrong with the number, why is there an extra one?"

"500ml of spring water, turned into 5ml of spring water concentrate, traded to the store for 1ml, which is equivalent to 100ml of spring water!"

Qi Yuan's mind quickly turned.

"100ml of spring water, the previous price should be 20 spirit coins. How could... there be four more?"

Qi Yuan was puzzled and immediately tried again, the same 1ml of spring water concentrate. Qi Yuan chose to exchange it only after making sure that the number was correct.

Dinglingdang!

1, 2, 3...23! 24!

Still 24!

Qi Yuan lost his composure instantly!

He immediately took out 100ml of spring water and traded it to the store.

20 spirit coins!

Qi Yuan looked calm, and was not overwhelmed by the surprise. Instead, he calmed down and continued to think and try.

"What is the reason?" Qi Yuan said to himself.

But in fact, he already had the answer in his mind!

Spirit Swamp!

However, he needed more verification.

Exchange 10 units of good-grade wood to the public store.

Ding!

1 spirit coin.

Then pass 10 units of wood through the spirit swamp to extract good-grade spirit liquid.

Exchange it to the public store again.

[System prompt: More than 1 spirit coin, less than 2 spirit coins, do you want to exchange. If you want to exchange, you can only get 1 spirit coin. ]

Sure enough!

Qi Yuan had roughly understood it, and took out another 100 units of good-grade wood and exchanged it to the public store.

Soon, 12 more spirit coins appeared in front of him.

"After purification in the spirit pond, the spirit coins obtained increased by 20%?!" Qi Yuan touched his chin and fell into thought.

In fact, it is not uncommon to increase the value of items and thus obtain a lot of spirit coins.

Many items will have slightly different values ​​after being made into finished items according to the manufacturing scroll.

Just like the potion, the price of the tree roots, blood essence, and spring water alone is not as high as that of the healing potion.

Qi Yuan has also thought about the reason.

It is very likely that after a series of operations, the quality of the spiritual energy in the healing potion is higher than the original material.

Yes! The quality of the spiritual energy is higher? !

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up and he understood the reason.

"It seems that the public store determines the value of items not only by the total amount of spiritual energy, but also by the quality of spiritual energy, which is also one of the important criteria!"

The role of the spiritual pond is to extract the spiritual energy from the resources, and then purify and compress it.

In this way... there is a good way to earn spiritual stones!

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more his eyes widened: "Through the Spirit Swamp, the Spirit Coins can be increased by 20%. If other survivors give me the resources that need to be exchanged for Spirit Coins, I will use the Spirit Swamp to purify them, and then exchange them for Spirit Coins, and extract the extra 75% of the profit!"

In short, if someone brings 10,000 good-grade wood. Qi Yuan uses the Spirit Swamp to purify, and then exchange it for 1,200 Spirit Coins.

Return 1,050 Spirit Coins to others, and Qi Yuan himself makes a net profit of 150 Spirit Coins.

A pure middleman's price difference!

Others get more Spirit Coins, and Qi Yuan also gets Spirit Coins for free, a win-win situation.

However, in order to make such a deal, you must have a close relationship or someone to guarantee it.

Otherwise, no one will feel at ease to trade a large amount of resources to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan can foresee that if he shouts everywhere: "Just give me goods worth 1,000, and I will immediately return you 1,050!"

He will probably be regarded as a pyramid scheme scam.

However, this business is indeed feasible!

It just needs to be done slowly.

Qi Yuan's first target was Yang Zhenghe and Zhao Cheng.

They are all leaders of a faction, with a group of allies.

If they are willing to act as a guarantor, let the people in their alliance give the materials to Qi Yuan for exchange, and then give them more spirit coins in return.

Maybe this business can really make a lot of money!
