Chapter 785: Chapter 785

785: Chapter 771: Return With a Full Load 785: Chapter 771: Return With a Full Load “So in the end, you still launched the money-grubbing B Plan?

Are you really that short of funds?”

Da Mao was somewhat surprised since there was a certain degree of risk associated with the B Plan.

The courtyard in front of them was bustling, with people busy scrambling for the “opportunity” – and it wasn’t just the core members of the yard.

Even the original “Decree-level Strongmen” were conquered by this kind of “service.”

Lu Ping’an’s “B Plan” was actually very simple – to open up a second wave of money-spinning schemes for those high-quality peripheral customers.

The results were quite gratifying…

they were almost moving into the stadium to sort out their priority orders.

“I can’t help it, I’m really short of funds…besides, it was part of the plan to launch this.”

“Why didn’t you do it earlier?

You could have made more Life-points…”

Da Mao was somewhat puzzled.

Lu Ping’an had a daily limit on the use of his Abnormal Ability, and “Enchantment” required the consumption of “modules” and “Decree Paper” which took time and effort to replenish; sometimes even requiring the use of library stock.

Now there were only two days left before the departure of the homebound ship.

Why waste the most precious remaining time, and make less money in the process?

“Hehe, if there’s no urgency, how can I sell at sky-high prices?”

Lu Ping’an took a sip of tea, his laughter light and breezy.

He watched the arguing crowd in front of him, trying hard not to laugh out loud…Da Mao hesitated, then pondered for a moment before catching on.

“You’re really wicked, aren’t you?

This isn’t even fair…”

“Didn’t I learn this from you?”

This response left Da Mao speechless.

In fact, the situation was simple: they only started shipping in the last two days, and the supply was limited, so naturally, there would be competition.

Lu Ping’an’s “trades” had to be equal in value, and even the service fees and labor costs were within a reasonable range, but prioritizing who got served first was entirely Lu Ping’an’s choice.

“We made a fortune this time, but with the current rate of spending, even a multi-million fortune won’t last for a few days, so naturally, we need to find a way to generate revenue…”

As the number of quotas Lu Ping’an had were limited, there was no option but to charge extra if people wanted to be in front of the line.

It’s true that transactions must be fair, but providing the “opportunity” for a transaction itself doesn’t necessarily need to be so.

“There may be fairness in the game, but not necessarily outside…

there’s no such thing as absolute fairness to begin with.”

Just like Da Mao’s “Balance Competition” – one-on-one matches, everything was fair according to the rules…but look at the strength and condition of the two competing sides, and you’d know there was no fairness.

In a way, Lu Ping’an wasn’t wrong – he really did learn this from Da Mao.

“…Heh, the art of manipulation of rules, Da Mao, you’re really wicked.” Lu Ping’an squinted his eyes and glanced at the uneasy Da Mao, a smile on his lips.

“I always feel like you’re shifting the blame, but I have no evidence.” Da Mao felt a bit stifled, unsure of how to refute.

Lu Ping’an drank his tea, chatted, and played with the cat.

Regardless of the quarrels or even fights among the people below, he wouldn’t acknowledge any of the sequencing they proposed.

He’d first demonstrate a batch and then wait for the private offers for priority quotas to roll in.

Points were important, but in fact, resources other than points were in much more urgent need right now.

“Weapon materials” required money and resources, and smashing them was fun, but broken pieces were also heart-wrenching.

Lu Ping’an’s ability was essentially a way to awaken or transform, but he couldn’t turn stone into gold (change the properties of objects).

To attach a “Decree”, the premise is having real Taboo items and enough “growth space.”

In low-level scenarios, it was the same – smashing items with a resounding clang left each person penniless.

The entire Rebirth Commerce needed a large amount of raw materials, and naturally, some “contributors” were needed.

“Aren’t you worried that there won’t be enough time in the end, and you’ll not earn enough points?”

An Xin, they have high standards.

In the end, they will most likely target items that are at least third-tier or higher.

Even if I clean out my entire inventory, it won’t be enough for them.

Is an auction quota too much?

It’s better than them actually getting into a bloody fight and creating enmity.”

The higher the professional’s level, the clearer their path and the higher their requirements for weapons.

“Curse” is naturally crushed by “Decree”, and Decree professionals desire silver or higher tier Taboo weapons.

If they are to compromise, third-tier is the minimum…

Xia Qin’s “greed” is because she, who is about to reach the fourth-tier, really has this need.

The most troublesome thing is that during the enchantment process, the corresponding “Decree” and “Abnormal Ability” must be consumed.

Lu Ping’an’s “inventory” is originally limited, and there is a high probability that they do not have the specific abilities they urgently need.

Even if they compromised, those items would still be luxurious with a huge consumption…

Yes, Lu Ping’an suspected that they simply couldn’t afford a “Decree weapon”.

Given the “consumption” level of that thing, Lu Ping’an estimated that it would be enough for two days, but those in the back would face the embarrassment of inventory depletion, competition for what they want, and not having what they need when it’s their turn.

In a sense, this was also a kind of team building…

At least the other core members of Lu Ping’an’s team saw this feast, and that these Decree-level bosses snapped up their leftovers, building more confidence and recognition in the team.

Sometimes benefits don’t need to be tangible; such “privileges” and “priority rights” can be even more attractive.

Over the last two days, the “limited-time sale” drove the Decree-level professionals crazy.

Various organizations in the Eastern Country were surprised to find that their leaders/core members/BOSSes mysteriously disappeared for two days during this crucial moment.

Occasionally appearing and then disappearing again after a while.

When asked, they all responded, “I can’t disclose it due to a confidentiality agreement, but it’s a good thing/great thing.”.

However, their mood swings were evident; either their faces showed pain yet their smiles revealed a good mood, or they kept a straight face and were sulky, disliking everyone they saw…

Uh, there were also some unlucky ones with painful expressions and full of resentment, the supreme unlucky ones who had spent money and got nothing in return.

Those who could smile were obviously in the minority, as expected.

Most professionals’ consumption needs were impossible to be met by Lu Ping’an and the courtyard now.

The inventory in the library and Lu Ping’an’s book was far from enough.

In a sense, they indeed lost this opportunity…

But Lu Ping’an doesn’t need to worry about having fewer customers.

“They will come to me.

Hehe, maybe they’ll even bring their own supplies and materials…

Uh, when I return to Earth, how much should I charge for the prepayment?”

And this inventory replenishment itself was also enriching Lu Ping’an’s foundation, and…

the weapon repository!

Thanks to the gifts from these bosses, Lu Ping’an gained a lot and continued to spend money.

During this time, he completed the “Taboo item” transformation of his combat system (exoskeleton, gloves, boots), accomplished the most important core mission, and successfully completed another Decree weapon…

Then he was empty-handed again.

The core members of Rebirth Commerce also had to thank those big shots for their “admission tickets”, as otherwise their final “mass purchase” wouldn’t have been completed so easily.

Most of the participating Decree professionals aimed for silver Taboo items, but in most cases, Lu Ping’an could only add new “professional characteristics” to the existing branded Decree items.

Among a group of pitiful creatures with colorless faces, a few lucky ones stood out.

However, the luckiest among them only managed to succeed “the third time”…

They had spent an outrageous amount of money, and almost everything in the library was sold.

Others faced “out of stock” or “no money”…

But none of them intended to give up completely.

Those without stock would probably bring “materials” to Earth, and those without money would try to earn points to continue investing based on their current status…

Otherwise, they’d suffer a huge loss.

Of course, even if they obtained the Decree weapons, they wouldn’t be able to master them like Lu Ping’an, as that would require the support of “Lawyer” and “Sophist” traits.

But merely adding a designated characteristic to their silver Taboo weapons was enough to drive them crazy.

Of course, the unluckiest ones didn’t actually lose out.

Lu Ping’an’s service of turning weapons contaminated with Vortex Stones into Taboo items and then making them portable was something everyone needed at the moment.

With these things in hand, the bosses could at least explain the empty warehouse to their companions when they returned…

But when the moment came to board the ship, everyone who had dealt with Lu Ping’an was actually loaded with gains.

Especially Lu Ping’an’s team, as each of them wore genuinely satisfied smiles…

Uh, except for one poor guy who had been chewing dry bamboo all the time.

The countdown came to an end at this moment, and amidst complex emotions and calculations of the stockpile, everyone embarked on their journey home.
