Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Don’t Worry

This time Wool Ryan listed a lot of wool products. Different types added up to over a million pieces. Their prices were generally 3 gold coins per piece, while those with higher artistic value or greater manufacturing difficulty were set at 5 gold coins.

But even so, it only took less than three minutes to sell out completely.

And the instant sales ended, a fierce-looking middle-aged man wearing pajamas and looking very agitated came charging in from outside with a menacing expression.

"Ryan!!! You’re going to ruin our Pastoral Church and Wool Guild today! Selling at such a loss—if our cash flow breaks, we’re finished! You... you... I’m beating you to death, you little brat! Today I must clean up the family!"

The Pastoral Pope got angrier as he spoke. He directly cast a divine spell and blasted it at Wool Ryan.

BOOM—

With a huge sound, Wool Ryan’s entire body flew backward.

The stream viewers seemed like they wanted to say something but found it had already gone black.

It was like the Magic Net Ring got knocked to the ground and couldn’t film anything anymore.

"???"

"Holy crap?!"

"This guy won’t actually get beaten to death, right?"

"The streamer’s screwed now. Over a million wool products sold cheap by him. Even the Pastoral Church probably can’t handle this."

"If he was my son, I’d hang him up and beat him for three days and nights at least!"

"Wonder if the Pastoral Church will decline because of this incident. They used to basically monopolize wool. This time with funding problems, buying in large quantities will probably be tough."

"Poor Ryan bro. To give us benefits, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be lucky to walk away from this. Wonder if we’ll have such good fortune again!"

"Forget everything else, just listen to that commotion. Even regular knights couldn’t take such a beating, right? You hear those lackeys shouting? Half his life is probably gone. So pitiful!"

"Hehe, I grabbed another 1,000 wool garments and 20 wool carpets!"

Facing this situation, hearing the beating sounds coming from the Magic Net video, the stream viewers were in an uproar. Some even felt a tiny bit guilty and hugely excited in their hearts.

In the divine realm.

Looking at the blacked-out Magic Net, the Goddess of Magic said with a smile, "See? His old man couldn’t accept this guy’s behavior either. I was right. If my Pope had such an heir, it would definitely be the same situation."

"Not quite." Ren waved his hand and opened up a screen beside them.

The continuous beating sounds coming from the stream were actually being performed by the Pastoral Pope, Wool Ryan, and the others.

After the stream went black, they started crazily attacking sandbags that had been prepared on the side. Wool Ryan screamed miserably, the lackeys on the side shouted frantically trying to break up the fight. Just listening to the sounds, you really couldn’t tell anything was wrong.

"See? It’s all an act."

Ren said with a smile. "Their Pastoral Church’s stockpiled goods all sold out this time, and the price was double what they’d normally get. The buyers also handled shipping costs themselves. Later they don’t need to entertain so many merchants either. Back and forth, they made close to three to five times the profit."

"But honestly, I didn’t expect he could convince his old man to act with him. I thought the Pastoral Pope supporting him doing this was already pretty good. Now with this whole thing, the Pastoral Pope probably needs to work on his persona too, otherwise the impact might be huge."

"..." The Goddess of Magic looked at this scene outside the stream and fell silent for a long time. After a while, She finally spoke slowly. "Human nature is truly terrifying. You keep watching. I’m going to help you research your mech energy supply!"

"Let’s go together. Watching these people is just for fun anyway. We can basically confirm our plan is proceeding smoothly. The situation should be completely open now." Ren smiled and walked out with Her.

The mortal realm.

Pastoral Church.

After acting for a few minutes, Wool Ryan’s shouting started getting weaker.

Then the stream was completely closed.

"Father, you can stop acting. I already closed the stream."

Wool Ryan looked at the Pastoral Pope still beating the sandbags and spoke carefully. He didn’t know why, but he totally felt like his old man really wanted to beat him up... Especially remembering the scene where he got blasted out of the camera by a divine spell, he couldn’t help but shudder.

"You wouldn’t really want to beat me to death, would you?"

"How could that be?! You’re my only son! Dear Ryan!!! Wasn’t I just doing it to be more realistic? Just like you calling me ’old man’ over and over. I know you definitely didn’t mean it like that, right?"

"Of course! How could I be that kind of person!"

Wool Ryan quickly spoke up. "I did all this to sell goods. Look, our harvest today was pretty incredible. Back and forth we sold a total of 1.2 million wool products. One million pieces sold for 3 million gold coins, 200,000 pieces sold for 1 million gold coins. Four million gold coins total!"

"According to our estimates, these wool products could sell for 1.8 million gold coins at most. We sold an extra 2.2 million gold coins! Plus we don’t need to entertain so many merchants, and we can save on shipping to many regions. Conservative estimate, we saved at least 100,000 to 200,000 gold coins!"

"This time we directly made an extra 2.3 to 2.4 million gold coins! Even if we deduct my early preparations, the 150,000 in gift donations, and other expenses, we still made over 2 million extra gold coins!"

The Pastoral Pope’s expression, which had seemed somewhat displeased, instantly changed after hearing Wool Ryan’s words. He looked at Wool Ryan with surprise. "Really all sold out?!"

"Of course, everything!" Wool Ryan was full of confidence. "Though in the short term we definitely can’t do this a second time. But in the future selling some other things is still possible... As long as our Wool Guild has them."

The Pastoral Pope looked at those orders and was completely stunned.

"This... this is too terrifying, right?! All our stockpiled inventory cleared, and we made so much extra! I didn’t expect Magic Net videos to be this powerful!"

Even twenty minutes ago, the Pastoral Pope wouldn’t have dared imagine such a thing. After a brief daze, he burst out laughing. "Good! Excellent! My son has finally grown up. Now I can feel confident handing over the Pastoral Pope position to you! The Wool Guild too."

"No no no, Father, that won’t work. How can you hand it over now? My persona is the spendthrift. Only by maintaining this persona can we make more money."

Wool Ryan shook his head repeatedly. "I have a feeling it won’t be long before this world changes. Then we’ll have more things to sell. This identity of mine is very important... The only shame is this auction..."

Only when transactions were completely finalized would this earned money enter their accounts. If people chose slow shipping, maybe after over a hundred days the transactions would finally complete and their money would arrive.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I already asked Dragon Bank. We can get a mortgage loan. I originally wanted to mortgage the guild, but now it looks like with these orders we should be able to borrow quite a bit. This is a good thing—we’re letting them earn interest for free." The Pastoral Pope laughed heartily.
