Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 53
The Dorm Survival Game could be quirky at times, but it might actually be a big silver coin!
Thinking of this possibility, Li Li felt chills running down his spine, as if he was truly understanding for the first time that this dormitory building was essentially man-eating!
He silently closed the door and walked into the living room.
"Li Li, did the Ghost Official leave?!"
His two teammates immediately rushed over to him.
"Yeah... sob sob!" Li Li responded, then suddenly broke down crying, not daring to make any sound.
An adult's breakdown might happen in just an instant.
Both teammates were utterly astonished, then heard Li Li sobbing:
"When will this ever end!"
"Did you see the corpse being dragged on that Ghost Official's hook? It was so long, so long!"
Hearing this, the two teammates couldn't help but feel downcast too.
"Li Li, what are you doing?" one teammate asked.
After crying for a while, Li Li's fingers began trembling as he tapped in the air.
This was how many people operated their interface.
"Sharing the experience."
"Not charging money anymore?"
"No charge. Having more veteran players survive is better than those newbie kids!"
...
In Dorm 200, Xu Lang couldn't help but smile when he saw the experience Li Li shared.
In the chat room, everyone was furious.
[40 Zhao Shuang: Damn, so that's how it is! I was wondering how there could be an impossible level!]
[88 Cao Bin: It's actually this simple? Everyone can be saved now! Thank you, Brother Li!]
[44 Wang Ao: Damn it! I didn't get any porcelain drops, what should I do?]
[127 Qian Shu: Damn, me neither! Floor leader, save me @ Tao Qing]
[145 Li Xue: Help! The Ghost Official is knocking on my door!]
Wang Ao's words stirred up a storm!
Not everyone had porcelain!
Having more porcelain than they could use was only true for powerhouses like Xu Lang and his group.
Some people hadn't even stepped outside their doors, so how could they possibly have picked up any dropped items?
All these people were panicking now!
In stark contrast to these people were Xu Lang and those brave souls who had been fiercely killing monsters on various floors.
Xu Lang calmly clicked to trade with Li Xue.
When the other side saw it was the top-ranked expert, they immediately agreed to the trade.
An exquisite bowl and plate appeared in Xu Lang's trade window.
[200 Xu Lang: Give me your highest price]
The other side instantly understood, immediately placed over three thousand copper coins in the trade window, then clicked to trade.
Xu Lang wasn't too greedy either, since the other person was in a life-or-death situation. If they really died, he wouldn't get a single coin.
With three thousand copper coins in hand, Xu Lang smiled triumphantly, then opened the Trading Network and indeed found that porcelain prices had skyrocketed.
If he remembered correctly, everyone used to sell this stuff as junk before, with the lowest price being just a few copper coins. Now in the blink of an eye, it had surged to hundreds and was still being constantly bought up.
Thinking calmly, if you were a big capitalist, what would you do at this moment?
Just watch?
No!
You need to learn to snap up purchases!
Buy up the poor people's stuff in advance, then sell it at high prices!
Xu Lang's mind was bubbling with wicked ideas, but just as he was about to act, Tong Qi beside him said angrily, "These people are so terrible, raising prices at a time like this!"
"It is a bit excessive, but this is reality. Shouldn't our porcelain prices go up too?" Wang Yazhi had more mature thinking.
Tong Qi was taken aback and awkwardly shut her mouth.
If they didn't sell at high prices, where would the crossbow bolts for the Bronze Repeating Crossbow come from? Who would pay the water and electricity bills?
"It is indeed a bit excessive. Watch me drive their prices down later." Xu Lang laughed.
The porcelain on the Trading Network had already been snapped up, and there were still many people in the chat room begging to buy porcelain.
With such a huge market gap, Xu Lang could guarantee that some floor leaders must have bought up porcelain.
There were definitely more than just him among the scoundrels in the Mad King building!
[180 Xu Ruyan: How many pieces did you grab?]
[200 Xu Lang: What are you talking about? I don't understand]
[180 Xu Ruyan: Didn't you buy up porcelain?]
[200 Xu Lang: No, I don't do such unscrupulous things]
[180 Xu Ruyan: Oh, I did]
Xu Lang: "..."
This woman really was wicked!
[200 Xu Lang: Mainly because I have too much porcelain on hand, afraid it might get stuck with me]
[180 Xu Ruyan: I see]
The porcelain was almost instantly bought out, and soon after, one piece of porcelain was listed on the Trading Network.
Price: 1000 copper coins!
This piece of porcelain was gone in seconds!
At this price point, someone was buying!
Xu Lang immediately followed by listing porcelain at 990 copper coins.
All those hoarding goods and preparing to list porcelain were dumbfounded.
Don't engage in cutthroat competition, damn it! Porcelain at one thousand copper coins selling out instantly shows there's a huge gap, and we could even raise the price further!
But you're directly starting a price war?!
Xu Lang wasn't just listing low-priced porcelain—he listed over forty pieces at once!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten pieces were gone.
These hoarders immediately couldn't sit still anymore and started selling porcelain at even lower prices.
Xu Lang kept watching the prices and noticed that all the sellers were floor leaders who had shown their prowess in the first and second rounds, with each price lower than the last.
Immediately, he calmly operated, always keeping his price at the lowest.
Players didn't care about who was selling—they bought from whoever had the lowest price.
...
Why did Xu Lang do this?
The reason was really simple, just as he told Xu Ruyan—he had too much stock!
Although there were still several hundred players left, the Ghost Official wouldn't interrogate every single person—it would leave after receiving one bribe!
Even if the Mad King building was full, there were only two hundred dorm rooms, and Xu Lang had over forty pieces of porcelain. Adding the porcelain dropped on other floors, there might actually be a porcelain surplus. If he sold slowly, it would definitely end up stuck with him.
Seeing the experts engage in a price war, ordinary players were overjoyed.
The floor leaders had started cutthroat competition!
Actually, only through this could ordinary players have a way to survive, or at least a chance to catch their breath.
Otherwise, where do you think your divine scrolls come from?
...
"Whew, finally sold out." Xu Lang wiped sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
Although he said he sold out, he actually had five pieces of porcelain set aside for backup.
"Xu Lang, how much money do we have now?" Cao Yaxuan's eyes sparkled as she asked curiously.
"This batch earned about seventeen thousand, adding to the total amount, we now have forty-five thousand." Xu Lang replied.
Towards the end, no one was buying porcelain even for just a few dozen copper coins.
Actually, it was only good for making quick money during the initial market panic. Later on, everyone realized that porcelain might be in surplus.
"Bumper harvest!" Tong Qi cheered.
Cao Yaxuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Xiao Qi, you remind me of Xiao Yan."
"Who's Xiao Yan?" Tong Qi was full of question marks.
Cao Yaxuan answered, "My niece. Once when we went to a rabbit meat restaurant, she absolutely refused to go, but when we actually got there, she ate three big bowls of rice!"
"Hahaha!"
Both Wang Yazhi and Xu Lang laughed.
Tong Qi blushed deeply.
Just as the atmosphere was cheerful, Xu Lang's pupils contracted—a tall figure had entered the surveillance view.
He wore black official robes, his hands hidden in wide sleeves, with an ink-black chain extending from his sleeve, dragging a long chain of people!
The Ghost Official had arrived!
