Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Everyone Grab Them Quick!

"Huh?"

The Goddess of Magic looked totally confused.

"This guy first bought a bunch of second-gen Magic Net Rings and had his subordinates enter the stream almost simultaneously the moment he went live, then they started constantly posting bullet comments and stuff. This makes Magic Net videos automatically recommend his stream. Then because he threw money around before, plus a day of promotion, people have a basic understanding of him."

Ren explained with a smile. "The persona and exposure are both handled. Next he chose to put on a show, got people to act, created this whole script where he’s selling at a loss just to get revenge on his father... Combined with his persona, naturally lots of people will find it reasonable."

"Even if some people think it’s fishy, that doesn’t affect the big picture. Besides, people who think it’s off can still watch for entertainment, right?"

"Under this kind of stimulation, very soon, all their stockpiled inventory should be completely cleared. Yesterday’s random 150,000 gold coins in gift donations will just be pocket change..."

Hiring internet trolls, recruiting actors, playing the spoiled rich kid to build a persona, doing hunger marketing... He’d gathered pretty much every element all at once.

Honestly, even though he’d seen quite a few "holy bodies" recently, when Ren saw this natural-born live-streaming sales prodigy Wool Ryan, he was still somewhat pleasantly surprised. With this guy setting an example, the circulation speed of goods would definitely skyrocket.

While Ren was explaining all this, the wool felt and wool sweaters in Wool Ryan’s storefront had already completely sold out.

But at this moment, the stream was still putting on a show.

The lackey’s legs went weak and he actually collapsed to the ground, tears and snot everywhere. "It’s over, all over. This time our Wool Guild lost big. Boss, you better grab some travel money and run. Next year—no, the year after, the year after come back. By then the Pope should have cooled down!"

"? Run? Why would I run? So I lost a little money. It’s not even as much as I gave in donations. Does the Pastoral Cult really need this little bit of money?"

"You don’t know the cost of living when you’re not the head of household..."

Before the lackey could finish, Wool Ryan snorted coldly. "What do you mean I don’t know? I’m totally aware. I’m a business genius. How could I not know? So what if a few tens of thousands of wool products are sold at a loss? What impact could that have! Keep talking and you don’t need to follow me anymore!"

"Today I’ll show you the Pastoral Cult’s financial strength! Tens of thousands of pieces sold so fast. I bet lots of people in our stream wanted to grab some but couldn’t, right? I’m listing 30,000 more right now... No, 50,000! I’m listing another 50,000! I want everyone to be able to buy some. I want our stream family to have a warm winter this year!"

After speaking, Wool Ryan directly listed another batch.

Compared to last time, this batch’s sales speed was obviously faster.

Who knows if it was because lots of people awakened their business talent and wanted to resell, or some other reason. Maybe they were just influenced by the stream’s atmosphere. Either way, the sales speed exceeded Wool Ryan’s imagination.

"Hahaha, look at you lackeys. All you know how to do is question me. Now look at our stream family—so supportive of me. But selling this fast, I bet some people still couldn’t grab any, right?! I’m going to check inventory right now and list everything!"

"Everyone buy as much as you want."

"I don’t believe our Pastoral Cult and Wool Guild’s inventory isn’t enough for everyone in our stream to get at least one!"

After speaking, Wool Ryan left the camera view, leaving only several lackeys who’d been scared into collapsing on the ground. Each lackey’s face was full of despair.

"Haha, I grabbed 500 pieces of wool felt for only 1,500 gold coins!"

"I also grabbed 150. Feels a bit too few still, but no big deal! There’ll be another chance soon!"

"As expected of the cult heir. So generous!"

"Wonder what the Pastoral Pope’s expression will be when he finds out!"

"Just remember to stream it. If I was in the Pastoral Cult, I’d definitely secretly record video and post it online!"

"Why think so much? If you grabbed it, you profited. I just borrowed 5,000 gold coins from my brother and I’m going all in!"

"This guy’s kind of a spendthrift, but I really like him. No matter what happens after today, whether this guy can even survive, as long as he streams, I’ll definitely support him!"

"Holy crap?! Crap crap crap crap! Such cheap wool products and I missed them?! I want some too!"

Honestly, even the shills Wool Ryan hired—the Wool Guild’s staff and clergy—when they saw this kind of stream, felt like they were about to explode with anger. How could there be such a young boss? How could they work under someone like this in the future?

But thinking about that price, thinking about those terrifying sales numbers, their mindsets shifted one by one. Selling so much stuff from the warehouse at high prices so quickly—their guild’s income this year might just double.

What was reputation?!

When a windfall drops from the sky, not paying some price would actually be weird.

After adjusting their mindsets, they continued stirring up the atmosphere in the stream. They knew the real climax was coming soon.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, as word of this spread, the stream’s viewer count surged again, already reaching over 200,000 people. Compared to watching the auction for fun, some people shifted their attention over to this real, tangible way to make money.

The auction really made them understand that money wasn’t everything, but sometimes money could literally buy life!

With their desire to make money boosted, now an opportunity to make money just by moving their fingers was delivered right to their doorstep. All at once, everyone went crazy.

At this moment, Wool Ryan came running in from outside in a panic. "Everyone, everyone, I just finished checking inventory. Same prices as before. Everything in our Wool Guild’s warehouse is listed! Everyone grab them quick! Whoever gets them, they’re yours!"

"My old man cares most about reputation. If you grab it, he definitely has to ship it. Everyone hurry! Just now when I was checking inventory, the inventory manager betrayed me. That guy actually went and tattled!"

"I bet my old man is already on his way to kill me!"

"But luckily I’m in the church. I’ve already activated the church’s defensive magic array. Should be able to hold that old guy off for a few minutes!"

"When he gets in, we definitely can’t continue!"

"Everyone must be quick!"

Wool Ryan kept emphasizing there was no time left as he published wool products one by one to the storefront. Before the stream viewers’ brains could fully process this information, they heard thunderous booming sounds coming from the stream, followed by an angry man’s voice.

Some "on-site witnesses" instantly appeared in the stream too, saying they were residents near the church and could already hear various sounds coming from over there.

"Everyone grab them quick! That old man’s super strong. He’ll get in soon! Whatever gets sold, he’ll definitely ship. But whatever doesn’t sell will definitely get taken down!"
