"Made a huge profit!"
Yan Chuan, with oil on the soles of his feet, was overjoyed. He punished the wicked and eliminated evildoers in the black market, specifically targeting bad people.
Even before the moon was high in the sky, not yet halfway through the night, he had successfully sold four Miracle Items, a total of four ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirrors’, making a great profit—
"Twenty-four jin of ’Essence Stone’."
"Thirty-six ’Dragon Tiger Great Pills’."
"Nineteen ’Heavenly King Pills’."
"Eighty-eight tael of gold."
The official price for one jin of Essence Stone is 1000 tael of patterned silver.
The official price for one Dragon Tiger Great Pill is 49 tael of patterned silver.
The official price for one Heavenly King Pill is 300 tael of patterned silver.
One tael of gold is officially exchanged for 24 tael of patterned silver.
In just half a night, Yan Chuan raked in thirty thousand tael, an incredible profit!
This is far simpler than the hard work and life-risking struggle in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Just think, his last expedition to Woniu Mountain, trekking day and night, narrowly escaping under the pursuit of the Du Head of the Black Armor Army, yielded only four jin of Essence Stone.
Thrilling and exciting!
A narrow escape from death!
And that was just four jin!
Yet tonight, effortlessly, he acquired twenty-four jin!
This world is full of evildoers, targeting them and swindling their money and treasures brings no guilt.
Easy and burden-free.
With such a method, why would he need to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm anymore.
Yan Chuan’s operation tonight was very simple—
First, use ’Spiritual’ to enhance and upgrade the ’Tiger Skin War Boots’. When the upgrade failed, he exploded this Spiritual Miracle Item, then proceeded to upgrade another ’Whiteboard·Thousand-mile Mirror’, making it his second ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirror’. Then, he sold the two ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirrors’, making his first profit.
Once the first buyers left the black market, through the ’Spiritual’ and ’Miracle’ induction, he waited for them to return to Yingze City. Yan Chuan then looked for the next buyers, observing first, then decisively ’exploding’ the two ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirrors’ he had already sold, and re-upgrading two ’Whiteboard·Thousand-mile Mirrors’ to Level 10. Then, marketing and selling them.
In this way, acting swiftly and hitting a time lag, Yan Chuan successfully sold four ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirrors’ within a short period.
What he lost was only the 2600 points of Spiritual consumed in upgrading and ’exploding’ the four ’Level 10 Thousand-mile Mirrors’. The two task bars rapidly accumulated through ’short and quick’, and the two thousand points of Spiritual could be saved up in less than two days.
The harvest and the cost are completely disproportionate.
So this is what is called ’scamming’—
One investment, a ten-thousand-fold return!
As for the guilt of ’scamming’, Yan Chuan actually felt fine: "The Great Yan Court hides the news of the Mountain and Sea Realm, monopolizes the ’Star Gate’, and uses the information gap to allow some people, especially officials and noblemen, to get richer first, becoming even wealthier, leaving the poor far behind, without looking back to see those who haven’t yet prospered."
Yan Chuan didn’t expect this ’first rich’ group to take the initiative to lead their starving compatriots.
He didn’t expect the rich to lead the less fortunate, just wanted to self-rely, independently gain prosperity without asking others.
Whether good-rich or not-bad-rich, Yan Chuan couldn’t care less, having no grievances, he wasn’t a rich-hater, he wouldn’t swindle them.
But those who used power to get rich and yet were still heartless and unjust, Yan Chuan was relentless in swindling them.
In Great Yan, in a feudal society, as long as it’s not the sweat money of the lower people, not the savings of common people, just ’robbing the rich’, just ’punishing the evil’, it’s fine.
Yan Chuan’s bottom line is very flexible.
But in modern civilized society, a lawful society, this can’t be done, complying to laws, being courteous, caring for others, and reducing energy waste is every citizen’s obligation.
Even in Great Yan, in a feudal society, this was Yan Chuan scamming the ’first rich’.
Once he becomes rich, if someone wants to scam him, that’s unacceptable!
Hurting others to benefit oneself is desirable.
Hurting oneself for others is undesired!
"There are 62 lower limb bones in total, 31 in each leg."
"One jin of Essence Stone can help me temper one."
"Thirty-six Dragon Tiger Great Pills can help me temper about two."
"Nineteen Heavenly King Pills can temper about five."
"Exactly thirty-one!"
"Plus the four I’ve already tempered—"
"This time, with the resources I earned, I can completely temper the right leg bones, thus advancing to the First-Grade Breaking Limit."
"Before the ’Jian Province Competition’, try a small deal to test the water."
"After the ’Jian Province Competition’, do a big deal and make a clean getaway."
"After this deal, the First-Grade is secured."
"For the next deal, aim to secure all resources for second rank and third rank."
"Cang Mountain Sword Discussion!"
"I’ll strive to compete with third-grade strength, maximizing my odds of winning."
Yan Chuan was confident in his plan.
In the near future, he doesn’t plan to visit the black market.
"Actively prepare for the competition!"
Yan Chuan was grinning, returning to the guild hall under the cover of darkness, cultivating through the night.
"Elder Shao and Elder Du, what makes you so amused?"
The next morning, Yan Chuan pushed the door open into the courtyard, seeing Shao Yancong and Du Zhenzong laughing and chatting.
Du Zhenzong laughed even harder, "Apparently, last night, the ’Golden Scale Guards’ stationed in Jian Province, including two of the ’Three Marshals and Ten Generals’, Helian Ba and Sun Wang, along with Jian Province Military Suppression Department Inspector Zhong Hongwu, were deceived in the black market, losing a significant amount. Out of humiliation and anger, they raided the black market overnight. By this morning, the news spread, becoming the talk of the town."
