Chapter 369: Game within a game!
The Shen family in Zhoucheng.
"What? The Lin family is frantically selling off gold, and the fifth-level crystals in stock have been used up?"
Shen Yi raised her eyelids, her eyes full of surprise:
"I remember that the Lin family was still making large purchases two hours ago, right?"
“Why are you suddenly selling off now?”
"I don't know..." The Shen family member who came to report was even more confused about the situation, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask for a decision:
"Master, the price of gold has now dropped to 10 fourth-level crystals per kilogram. Should we increase our purchase efforts?"
Shen Yi pondered for a moment and opened the data panel.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask You Laizi."
Although the Shen family and the You family are far apart, they can be said to have a close relationship among human-level families.
Its strength and status are already among the best.
After forming an alliance, they can even compete with local families.
So when You Mingyang discovered that the Lin family was hoarding gold and it seemed profitable, he also called the Shen family in the state capital.
The original intention was to make money together.
Be bigger and stronger and create greater glory!
Shen Yi made a huge investment and took a gamble with the You family because of the pleasant cooperation he had with the You family before.
As a result, something went wrong halfway through, making both families very embarrassed.
After a while, You Mingyang's reply came in the chat box:
"I have sent people to investigate the Lin family's massive sale of gold."
"At present, I suspect that this is a trick played by that old man Lin Tianxia, who wants to lower the purchase price of gold."
"Master Shen, don't worry too much. Just continue to buy gold."
"You talk as if you have the overall situation under control." Shen Yi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
He did not continue to talk with You Mingyang, but switched to another chat box and typed:
"Master Bai, have you noticed the changes in the purchase price of gold?"
This time there was no immediate reply, and Shen Yi waited for a long time.
About fifteen minutes later, the news came.
But it’s not news, but a secretly filmed video.
In the picture, Lin Tianxia, the head of the Lin family, was preaching something with a flushed face.
And below, there was a large crowd of civilian players.
"In order to reward everyone for their hard work day after day, the Lin family has decided to provide Yuanjing for free to help everyone upgrade their levels!"
"Everyone should be divided into groups according to age and gender, line up, and go to the distribution point one by one to receive the items!"
"Don't be anxious, and don't rush to grab it. Everyone has a share!"
The crowd all had suspicious expressions on their faces, but they still spontaneously formed groups and lined up according to the instructions.
Everyone seemed to think that the Lin family would never waste Yuan Jing on civilian players like them with such rubbish in talent and abilities.
Distributing Yuanjing is just a show.
It was not until someone actually received the Yuan Crystal and upgraded several levels after absorbing it that bursts of surprised low cries were heard from the crowd.
"Oh my god, are the Lin family serious?!"
"I never thought that with my bronze talent, I would be able to use the second-level crystal one day?"
"It feels great. I've leveled up three times in a row. I feel like I'm filled with strength all over my body!"
"What the hell is the Lin family doing? Why are they so kind that they're upgrading the levels of us civilian players?"
"Look at what you said, you have no conscience! Did the Lin family treat you badly before?"
"Yes, we provide you with food and drink, and let you rest safely at night. I would like to ask, which shelter can take such good care of civilian players?"
"The civilians in Sakura are treated much better than us. They don't have to work, but they have food and drink, and they are protected by strong people!"
"Tsk, did they get any Yuanjing? Did they level up? If you envy them so much, why are you still staying in China? Go to Sakura now!"
"Yeah, no one is forcing you to stay here. Without you, we can get more Yuanjing!"
The civilian players who envied Sakura were soon silenced and stopped talking.
The video screen is reversed.
From the noisy but basically orderly civilian players, moved to a more hidden corner.
Yuan Crystals are also being distributed there.
However, compared to the low-level Yuan Crystals obtained by ordinary players, the Yuan Crystals obtained by the Lin family’s children are of much higher level.
Most of them are fourth-order crystals.
Some individuals can even get fifth-level or sixth-level Yuan Crystal!
Everyone had a smile on their face and kept praising the master for his brilliant strategy:
"Who said that our Lin family master is old and confused? He is obviously very shrewd and has made plans without any mistakes!"
"How can those young people understand the master's foresight? I'm afraid they are still in the dark!"
"Why is there a saying that 'older ginger is still spicier'?"
"First, spend a small amount of money to increase the value of gold, then cash it out at the highest point and exchange it for useful crystals!"
"Those idiots who followed the trend and stockpiled goods will be screwed, hahahaha..."
"Oh, it makes me feel even better when I think that the crystals we use to upgrade our levels were obtained by other families at great cost!"
"We will follow Patriarch Lin for the rest of our lives, so let's just be happy!"
"Keep a low profile, don't get carried away. There might be ears and the news will be leaked..."
As he was speaking, a young man from the Lin family with thick lips looked towards the screen.
As if he had discovered the person who was secretly photographing him, his eyebrows stood up and he suddenly shouted:
"Who is there!!"
The sound was so loud that it almost scared Shen Yi to death while she was watching attentively.
The video ends abruptly.
Followed by a brief message from Bai Chunfeng:
“It is recommended to wait and see.”
Shen Yi's brows furrowed even more.
Judging from the information we have obtained so far, the situation seems to be very clear.
This is a very obvious "pig killing scheme".
Cash out at high points.
Before the end of the world, gold does have irreplaceable value.
Whether from an industrial perspective or the extra bonus brought by its scarcity.
But after the apocalypse, the industrial system collapsed and new rules emerged.
Gold has lost its original function.
Even though scarcity still exists,
But it has no value in itself, and there is no strong background to guarantee it.
It's no different from a stone on the ground.
Do you want to sell off a large amount to recover your investment?
From Shen Yi's perspective,
The gold that was originally purchased with second- and third-level Yuan Crystals is now being sold at the price of fourth-level Yuan Crystals.
Once the difference is reduced, you can still make a profit.
But if we follow Bai Chunfeng's advice and wait and see...
By the time she wants to sell again, the price of gold may have dropped again.
You Laizi may really not know about this, so we need to send people to investigate.
But Bai Chunfeng...
Thinking about this, Shen Yi became conflicted.
As a land-level family, the Bai family has accumulated a far greater amount of gold than the human-level Shen family.
Perhaps the other party's "wait and see" is just to stabilize the Shen family.
So that I can secretly sell the gold and gain more profits?
There is no friendship before family.
What's more, what happened between her and Bai Chunfeng was just a physical transaction.
It should not be enough to maintain a close relationship of mutual support.
Just when Shen Yi was hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps.
A graceful figure came over.
