Doom Lord

Chapter 131 – Earning A Huge Profit

After another two minutes passed, someone finally made a starting bid of 3,000 points of power value.

So stingy! Only placing a bid at the lowest price, Cheng Yang cursed the bidder in his heart.

What was this nonsense? Does the first bidder not think the price would go up? That’s unlikely unless he was brain-dead.

After the first individual placed a bid, the situation suddenly became chaotic.

3,500…

4,000…

5,000…

When the 10 minutes was up, the price of the City Return Stone was finally stopped at 9,000 points of power value.

After all, this was just a one-time consumable. For such an item to reach this price, Cheng Yang has been very satisfied. In some cases, it was possible to save one’s life with a City Return Stone. Therefore, even though it was only a one-time consumable, there were still many people who were willing to pay a high price for it.

Of course, the main reason for the high price was due to people not knowing the selling price of the City Return Stone in the store, otherwise Cheng Yang might not had been able to sell it for such a staggering price.

Even though the City Return Store was a specialty product of Luo Feng Village, it wasn’t a unique product only to the village. It was merely a relatively scarce product. After other field stations obtained this specialty product, its price was bound to be known to all, then the price would gradually return to normal.

Even after deducting 1,000 points of power value for the service fee, Cheng Yang’s account still increased by 8,000 points of power value. This was a sevenfold gain! One word went through Cheng Yang’s mind when he saw this, crazy.

A moment ago, when Cheng Yang purchased the City Return Stones in the store, his account was left with less than 20,000 points of power value. According to the way things were going now, once he auctioned off all 100 pieces of City Return Stone in the box, his total liquid capital would be very frightening. Besides, there were still a hundred City Return Stones waiting for him to purchase in the grocery store.

Soon after, Cheng Yang hung up another City Return Stone.

Cheng Yang set the auction time for this stone to half an hour, while setting a ceiling price of the item to 10,000 points of power value. He wanted to probe how many rich tyrants existed around the world.

Right after hanging up this City Return Stone, it didn’t encounter a period of silence like the first one; the price began to rise the moment it was auctioned. It seems the City Return Stone has already aroused the concern of a few people.

In just the first five minute, the price of the City Return Stone has reached 10,000 points of power value and was bought away.

Cheng Yang guessed this individual must had been very upset after the first stone was bought, so when the second stone appeared he spared no expense in bidding for it.

Another 9,000 points of power value was harvested. This earning speed was very satisfying.

However, Cheng Yang didn’t plan to stay here all day to keep watch over the auctions of these items. If this kind of thing was done, he would be sitting in the pub every day.

The setting in the Ten Thousand Treasures Building was very user-friendly. For bulk items, you could put them up all at once. You could also set up an automatic auction. Obviously, Cheng Yang wasn’t going to auction off all the City Return Stone at once, as this would affect the final transaction price. As such, he chose to set up an automatic auction. The condition he set up for this automatic auction was to have the next item auctioned automatically after the successful auction of the previous item.

Once Cheng Yang had this automatic auction up, he handed over the box containing the City Return Stones to the young waiter.

After stepping out of the pub, Cheng Yang suddenly remembered a matter he needed to do. Immediately, he ran back to the grocery store and instructed the boss to temporarily not make public the sale of the City Return Stone, and ensured him that he would buy all the City Return Stone each day.

The boss was very pleased by this. For him, as long as he could increase his sale volume, it’s a good thing. As to how these items were sold, he didn’t care. Especially for these specialty products, in order to win a higher portion of goods, it was best to sell the maximum amount of items that could be sold daily. Once there’s a backlog on the goods, the goods distributed the next day would be according to the gap. In other words, if he sold only a single City Return Stone today, there would only be one item delivered the next day.

After discussing with the boss, Cheng Yang left the grocery store.

Checking the time, it was only four in the afternoon. Cheng Yang decided to step out of the village and kill monsters.

Even though for the present him, the power value earned from killing monsters each day was only equivalent to selling two City Return Stones, but a person’s strength doesn’t only come from cultivation. It also requires ones to experience many large and small battles.

Since Cheng Yang had made plan to complete the special task today, he had arranged Liu Xiyue with Chen Yun and the other territory guards to team up together this morning. Chen Yun and the rest of the territory guards were absolutely loyal to Cheng Yang. Only by being with them would he ensured the secret of Liu Xiyue’s skills not be leaked outward.

Now that Cheng Yang was ready to kill monsters, naturally he need to bring Liu Xiyue along with him. Even though she was safe with Chen Yun and the others, their power value’s harvesting speed was a tad slow. After all, Chen Yun and the rest of the territory guards could only move around in the territory.

When Cheng Yang found Liu Xiyue, she was searching for monsters with Chen Yun.

At this time, Liu Xiyue was already a mid-order apprentice. In Luo Feng Village, she could also be regarded as one of its few experts. In terms of firepower, apart from Liu Hao and Yu Kai, others were really not her opponents. After all, her ability to spike monsters and people alike were indeed fierce.

After being tempered over the course of these past few days, the delicate look in Liu Xiyue’s eyes has slowly waned and became more firm and capable. She knows that simply being beautiful wasn’t only not a good quality in the apocalypse, on the contrary it was a sin. Because having a beautiful appearance would bring disaster to oneself. Her prior experience had already proven this. Now Cheng Yang has given her gave her a great opportunity to reverse her fate, therefore she must grasp this chance well.

So far, She has done very well.

“Xiyue, I need you to come with me!” Cheng Yang walked up to them and smilingly said. After being together these days, the awkward feeling between the two of them had disappeared. Even the way Cheng Yang called her name has also unknowingly changed.

Liu Xiyue had a calm and faint smile on her face, she said, “Ok, Lord.”

Afterward, Cheng Yang spoke a few words to Chen Yun and then left with Liu Xiyue.

As he walked on the road, Cheng Yang couldn’t help but opened his properties panel every few minutes to see the rise in his power value. Every time he saw the jump in power value by thousands of points each time, he felt a thrill. The bright smile on his face has never stopped curving upward.

However, apart from the first few initial auctions that had been swept away at the ceiling price of 10,000 points, the bid prices for subsequent City Return Stones has gradually dropped. Cheng Yang had the auction time for these City Return Stones set to only 10 minutes. After a few auctions, the price of the stones stabilized at about 6,000 points of power value.

It might only be 6,000 points of power value, but for Cheng Yang he still earned a profit of four times. Therefore, Cheng Yang didn’t feel sad at all about the reduction in the selling price.

“Lord, did something good happen today? I keep seeing you smile.” By his side, Liu Xiyue asked out of curiosity.

Cheng Yang chuckled: “Something good did happen. Today, I managed to earn myself tons of power value. It’s enough for you to also open up 8 times cultivation speed later tonight. The power value you earned every day should be enough to support this cultivation speed.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Xiyue’s eyes, she immediately nodded her head, “Lord, don’t worry. I have been earning more than 1,000 points of power value each day, since I’ve been killing monsters together with you these days. Not to mention opening up 8 times cultivation speed, I could also support 16 times cultivation speed.”

Hearing that, Cheng Yang rolled his eyes helplessly and asked, “What make you expect you can open 16 times cultivation speed? Do you know how many power value is needed in your account to open up 16 times cultivation speed?”

Liu Xiyue began calculating on her frail fingers, she said, “If the pattern doesn’t change towards the back, it should be 1 billion points.” ”

Cheng Yang wrily smiled, “It really is 1 billion points.”

Liu Xiyue playfully stuck her tongue out and said, “Fine, this 16 times cultivation speed is too difficult. Wait until I upgrade my strength, I’ll make sure to open it one day in the future.”

Cheng Yang knew that in the last days, wanting to rely on killing monsters by oneself to accumulate enough power value to open 16 times cultivation speed was an almost impossible task to complete. Let alone 16 times cultivation speed, even 10 times was extremely difficult. This was equal to killing one million first early-order enchanted beasts. Moreover, this doesn’t include the daily consumption in cultivation.

…………

While Cheng Yang was delighted about his enormous gains in power value, many main city’s leaders around the world were suffering because of him.

Even since the advent of the apocalypse, the world’s forces has completely shuffled. The political forces that had predominated in the vast majorities of the countries were kicked out, while the army’s top brass began to become the dominant party.

According to incomplete statistics, at least two-fifths of the main cities in the world were currently dominated by military officers. Even though the military was unable to achieve full control of some main cities, they were still able to influence the development of these main city.

Besides the military, there were government forces, commercial forces, and even some former underground forces. After the apocalypse came, they all fought for survival. Many of these influences were now in control of a major city.

Some people, after taking control of the main city had thought that they would become the trend-maker of this era and lives as Emperor. However, after the rules of god changed today, they suddenly found themselves driven from heaven into hell.

In the entire world, there were no less than ten main city’s leader that achieved one-third of the votes by the residents for expulsion. After passing through the judgement of the rules, they were permanently expelled from the main city. The vicious of these people has undoubtedly received the wrath of the residents. As a result, other people didn’t sympathize with them.

However, some people had a lingering fear from this incident because they were also equally unpopular in the main city, but because the level of wickedness wasn’t serious, they didn’t received more than one-third of the eviction vote. It wasn’t that other people didn’t want to expel these leaders, but because the wickedness of these leader didn’t affect them, their vote couldn’t be cast.

After this incident, all the leaders in the main cities began to converge on their actions. They didn’t want their good future to be ruined. Even some leaders who had previously racked in a large amount of power value began to return a portion of it to their soldiers, in order to make these people more supportive of them.

The order in the main city has gradually improved under the rule of God, but this does not mean that the main city was peaceful. After all, to achieve one-third eviction votes, not just any villain could meet this condition. The weak were prey to the strong, this was still the main theme of the city, or perhaps the main theme of the entire world.
