The price fell!
As Fang Yuan's price fell, Xie Bao Shu and the other sellers had to lower their prices too after a few days.
However, they did not lower their prices much, they were in sync — at the same price as Fang Yuan.
"I am a newcomer in the year Gu business, my identity is mysterious and unknown, compared to me, Xie Bao Shu, Rong Xin, and Wang Ming Yue are reputed figures with many years of experience, they are deeply trusted. Thus, as long as they lower their prices to match me, those who want to buy year Gu will approach them instead."
Fang Yuan knew deeply about the plan of Xie Bao Shu and the rest.
This was the advantage that Xie Bao Shu and the rest had over Fang Yuan, their years of being in the business had deeply affected the buyers, it was not a joke.
"However… so what if they do this?" Fang Yuan smiled lightly.
On the day Xie Bao Shu and the rest lowered their prices, Fang Yuan lowered his price again.
The Gu Immortals in treasure yellow heaven were focusing on this huge price war, the moment Fang Yuan lowered his price, news spread rapidly, before long, many of the forces and Gu Immortals concerned about this matter learned about it.
"After hearing that Xie Bao Shu lowered his price, I wanted to buy from him. After all, I do that every year."
"True, except I prefer Rong Xin's goods."
"But that fourth seller lowered his price again, he is truly rich, he wants to challenge the three main sellers."
The buyers were overjoyed and relaxed, in this price war, they were the ones who benefited the most.
Staying on the fence and watching this show, it was a very joyful thing to see.
At the same price level, Fang Yuan was not their match, but the moment he lowered his prices, his advantage became huge.
After all, Fang Yuan's goods were very high quality and cheap, would those Gu Immortals be so stupid as to buy expensive goods instead?
Thus for the following day, Fang Yuan's business was booming, the other three sellers had no business.
After hearing this, Central Continent Gu Immortal Rong Xin laughed, coldly of course.
He spoke with the other two: "Very interesting, this person really wants to challenge us to a price war."
Wang Ming Yue smiled: "All these years, nobody could match our status. This time, I want to see how strong this person is."
Xie Bao Shu added: "Then let us lower our prices too."
There was nothing to say, since Fang Yuan reduced his prices, the other three sellers followed, their price was the same as Fang Yuan's year Gu.
They had hesitated earlier already. Since Fang Yuan was initiating the 'war', the three Gu Immortals were confident in their finances, they followed relentlessly.
During the second price reduction.
There was a small commotion in treasure yellow heaven.
The rest of the Gu Immortals started to get excited, because they knew that this was only the second price fall, the war had just started, there was going to be a third and fourth time later.
"But it will depend on the mysterious fourth seller on when he reduces his price again."
"Any price reduction is a fall in profits for the seller himself. Earlier, the fourth seller initiated the war, while the three main sellers have no fear in joining in, they had full confidence in themselves."
"That's right, the third reduction might be coming soon, but we do not know when."
The Gu Immortals conversed among each other.
Normally speaking, it was very common to reduce prices in such situations, but there was an interval between each reduction.
Because the seller needs to observe the market and think about the decisions to make.
Reducing the price was a double-edged sword, it could undercut the competitors, but it would harm one's own benefits.
If the seller saw good prospects in the market, they might not reduce prices anymore. They needed to defend their own benefits, if they reduce the prices further, even if they increase the quantity sold, they would not earn much profits, after all, competitors would reduce prices too.
If the sellers refuse to give in and constantly reduce prices, competing without restraint, they would collapse together.
There were basically no Gu Immortals who would do this and ruin the market for everyone.
The sellers were not stupid, they wanted to earn profits, if they only cared about competition and disregarded profits, why would they sell anything?
Sellers were smart, but buyers were intelligent too.
After the three sellers reduced their price to Fang Yuan's level, they stopped buying, the sales of year Gu became very 'pathetic'. Because the most crucial person in this price war was Fang Yuan.
And the moment Fang Yuan reduced his price, they would buy a bit.
Why?
Firstly, in terms of prices, Fang Yuan selling at a lower price would be more beneficial to them. Of course, they were encouraging him to continue competing with the three sellers and reduce prices. Eventually, Fang Yuan will be unable to endure it, because the one to lower the prices will suffer losses. But after the prices reach the lower limit, the buyers would benefit the most.
If the four sellers end up at the same price, they would not buy the year Gu from Fang Yuan.
A price war made good use of such psychological tactics.
After the second price reduction, the four sellers reached the same price again. Fang Yuan's actions were out of expectations, he was paying close attention to treasure yellow heaven, the moment the three sellers reduced their price, he reacted and reduced his own price again.
"Hmm?!" Many people were astonished, Fang Yuan's reaction was simply too fast.
And from his speed, many people could sense his firm and determined attitude.
"He is well prepared for this." Rong Xin sighed, he felt a little pressure as he had the least stock among the sellers.
Towards the later stages of this price war, when the commodity prices are low, sales would boom. By then, if he had low stock, it would be very awkward.
There are buyers but no goods?
Not only would he be out of the game, buyers would think of him as unreliable, his reputation accumulated over the years would be ruined.
Rong Xin did not want that to happen.
He asked others to refine year Gu at full speed to replenish his stock while thinking if he should reduce prices again.
More specifically, if he should reduce the price until his competitors could not and dare not try to follow him, because it would result in major losses.
But he would not lower prices by too much, buyers must continue to think that they could continue watching without doing anything.
In that case, as long as he had enough time, Rong Xin could replenish his stocks and win at the final moments of the price war.
"However, in this case, if I reduce prices drastically, the other two parties will know that I do not have much stock now." Rong Xin was very hesitant.
Since he could think of this to alleviate his crisis, the other two parties were also experienced sellers, they could naturally deduce his current situation.
Deductions were not hard to do.
People with experience were sensitive to such changes.
That way, if Rong Xin did this, he would be exposing his weakness, he would likely get kicked out of the game earlier.
Thus, not only was he hesitant, he had a headache.
A huge headache.
Because he needed to think about the buyer and seller mentality while also paying attention to his competitors.
Right when he was hesitant and indecisive, Xie Bao Shu and Wang Ming Yue lowered their prices again.
The price fell like earlier, maintained at the same level as Fang Yuan.
They had sufficient stock, especially Wang Ming Yue, they were not anxious. Since Fang Yuan wanted to compete and reduce prices, they would follow. After all, they would gain the market share if prices were equal, they had a huge advantage.
This was the third drop in prices.
After hearing news, Fang Yuan laughed heartily as cold light shone in his eyes: "In that case, I will speed things up."
This time, he lowered prices again. And this fall was drastic, far beyond the earlier rounds.
This time, there was a huge commotion in treasure yellow heaven!
The buyers were excited, this was the result that they wanted, they had waited so long for this victorious moment.
"It fell by this much?!" Xie Bao Shu had a solemn expression, he could feel Fang Yuan's overpowering attitude. If the earlier few rounds were light punches, this was a heavy kick.
But Xie Bao Shu had to react to it.
If not, he would be kicked out of this war.
Buyers had no loyalty after all, price wars were very cruel.
Xie Bao Shu was the first to lower prices, followed by Wang Ming Yue as they reached the same prices again.
Rong Xin had a huge headache!
He had wanted to drop his prices drastically earlier, but in his moment of hesitation, the opponent acted before he did anything.
This way, not only would his earlier plans be ruined, if he wanted to go ahead with it, he would need to reduce his prices even further.
But that would be a dangerous price, because if it becomes lower than the usual year Gu sale price of previous years, the buyers would start buying enthusiastically.
"Or maybe that mysterious seller has little stock? He has the same plan as me?" Rong Xin had his final bit of hope.
He was the last to reduce his price, following the other three.
"They all lowered their prices. Hahaha." The buyers were very happy, but the happiest part had yet to come.
When Rong Xin lowered his price, Fang Yuan continued to lower his year Gu price again.
And this time, it was even larger than before.
Treasure yellow heaven was in a commotion!
The three sellers were shocked!
"This fellow… this will be a tough one…" Xie Bao Shu had a grim expression, he was originally relaxed and cool, he acted casually and without emotions, but now he could not contain himself anymore.
Fang Yuan reduced the prices and shrunk the profits of the year Gu business, for the three sellers, if they followed, they would suffer great loss of profits!
"He is going all-out." Wang Ming Yue was tongue-tied, she had a chilly feeling.
She had not felt this for a long time already.

August 1, 2013 – Thursday 10 AM – Vagner Studios
"That concludes the report for the first month of 'Miss Sellers'." Anthony finishes his words on the podium.
"…" Despite his calm exterior, Anthony is very very nervous looking around the people in the conference room. The people he just addressed are the board members of Vagner Studios and the investors in 'Miss Sellers'.
"…" The board members can only mull over sullenly the poor ticket sales of 'Miss Sellers that Anthony reported.  
"I've heard from people that you had something to do with this?" One investor asks in hidden anger.
"Yes. Even though we lost 20 screens from Centurion, we managed to work something out with our distribution branch. We were able to offset our losses from Centurion by grabbing more screens from smaller theaters and independent ones. I also got last minute product integrations which saved us millions." Anthony reports wanting to neutralize his faults.  
"Everyone." Vagner Studio's CEO, seeing the unfriendly gazes of the people in the room towards him and Anthony, takes the attention.
"Let's just admit it, we were outdone. Anthony here at least did something that made us break even despite his… unconventional methods. We just can't dictate what the people want to see, and the people wanted to see Isaac's film more than ours. It's as simple as that." The CEO defends Anthony.
'What the FUCK?! That's what I said yesterday! You f*ckin dressed me down and now you're parroting me?! FUCK YOU!' Anthony curses the CEO with a glare.  
"I know you could have done better, but you're not wrong either." The chairman of the board speaks up. "What I'm more worried about is the future." This makes everyone in the room perk up.
The Chairman continues. "At least we broke even. The films of the smaller studios can't even sell tickets; they are f*cked. And if we don't get our sh*t together, even though we're big, we're f*cked too."  
"What do you mean?" An investor asks on behalf of those who are not in the know. Those who are in the know like the CEO and Anthony on the other hand, have an inkling of what the chairman is talking about.  
"The rumors about the sequel for that gangster film, I've confirmed it's true." The chairman reports to everyone.
*murmur* *murmur* The people look at him skeptically.
"A handful of the people who have a history with the Coniglio Family already saw it. There are even rumors that there's still a sequel after the sequel because the first sequel did not wrap up the story." The chairman erases the skepticism.
*MURMUR* *MURMUR* The room descends to subdued panic.
"So it's not just 'Miss Sellers' we should be concerned with, but the sequels 'Yard Blues' and 'Love Campus' too." The chairman says as he looks at the CEO and Anthony.
"And if Isaac is not the forgiving type, and he found out what you did, Anthony, what do you think he'll do?" The chairman concludes with a rhetorical question. Anthony's face crumples at this.  
"That's right. He'll do what we've been doing. Release his sequels alongside our films'." The chairman says to make the others understand.  
"… Why don't we uh… sue him?" A young board member suddenly proposes, saving Anthony.
"What?!" The others are dumbfounded.
"On what grounds?" The CEO asks.
"Let's just get some random guys, have them claim that 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer' is their work and that Isaac stole the idea from them. Rinse and repeat." The board member says.
"Intimidation suits? Are you fuckin stupid?" The chairman yells.
"What? We do it all the time against journalists." The board member says.
"You're not talking about libel or defamation, but copyright infringement! We're gonna get sued back for fraud if a judge doesn't slap us with it first." The CEO shoots down the suggestion.
"What's more stupid is that you're not just suing Isaac. You're offending Coniglio family too. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if someone in this room is connected to them and the Coniglio will find out about your stupidity before you even leave the building." The chairman says.
The board member swallows his spit but recovers his guts immediately.
"Then what the hell are we supposed to do? Wait it out? Wait until Isaac does not have a film on theaters?" The board member counters.  
"…" The CEO and the chairman are stunned by the unintended suggestion.
"Huh… Aside from making films that can match Isaac's film, which right now is hard to do? … Waiting it out… might just be the best thing we can do." The CEO says.
"Usually, we make others not want to compete with us but this time, that might just be the right move." The chairman shakes his head.  
"Really? That will just end up with more losses." The board member grumbles.
"We might save ourselves from losses…" Anthony butts in.
"Ah! Excuse me. May I talk to you for a moment?" The CEO however immediately grabs Anthony's arm with a warning glare.
Anthony ignores the warning and returns a look of defiance while brushing the CEO's hand aside. 'F*ck you. You approved of my plans. You also tried something, so you're going down with me if this don't work out.' Anthony thinks as he takes the center of the podium again.
The CEO can only give up and retreat to the side of the room as to not get caught in what he thinks an incoming crossfire.  
"?" The attention of the room goes back to Anthony, their curiosity intensified from the interaction they just witnessed.
"Without Isaac's film, 'Miss Sellers' could have been the best-selling film this year. To be quite honest? 'Miss Sellers' is just as good as September Ninth. It might even be better than September Ninth considering the details we put in it.
"That means that we've done great in applying Isaac's style and enough people liked it. If we can re-write 'Love Campus' and 'Yard Blues' into a better story, while making their quality the same with 'Miss Sellers', we will catch up with Isaac. We make money while we learn." Anthony concludes.  
"How confident are you?" The chairman asks.
"50%, tops that we can compete, 75% chance that we can break even every film until we catch up. But I'm 100% confident that our people are competent. They are learning on the job every day. Let's look for new talents too. There are many young and obscure indie film makers competing right now in different film festivals, and they have adapted Isaac's style well. Even though we can't compete with Isaac for now, we'll do well enough to survive." Anthony says. Anthony's confidence somehow calms the room down.  
"Another thing. Last year, there was a total of 100 million or so ticket sales in America and 40 million of those are by 'September Ninth' in only four months. The first seven months of this year, we saw 62 million tickets sold and of those, 35 million tickets are sold by 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer' in only six weeks." The board members are shocked at this report.
"We… can't keep Isaac do this to us…" An investor chimes in.
"We can't. However, we have a take away from this. In the previous years, before Isaac's debut, the highest we've seen in ticket sales in the country is around 90 million and that was in 2007, 10% less than last year.
"Looking at Isaac's 'September Ninth', he earned way more in ticket sales than DVD sales. That isn't normal in the industry. It's either 50% tickets, or 50% DVDs/Blu Rays. This means that Isaac actually  made movie viewers go to the theaters instead of them just waiting to buy or rent DVDs or Blu Rays." Anthony concludes.
"So you're saying, Isaac is changing how films are seen..." A random board member says.
"Yes. Without 'September Ninth', and 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer', we never would have known that the American film market is bigger than we thought. If we can offer the market quality, stand-out films like Isaac's, then we have the potential to capitalize in the biggest film market we've seen in history." Anthony explains.
*MURMUR* *MURMUR* All sorts of exclaims and discussions fills the room.
"…" Watching the people he cannot get through to previously now listen to him, Anthony is feeling proud inside but maintains his calm. He then looks at the CEO and the CEO simply looks away.
'Not only incompetent, a f*ckin coward too.' Anthony feels smug looking at the CEO looking small.  
"How do we do that?" The chairman asks after the round of discussion.
"… I have a suggestion, a summary really of the opinions of our creative teams… And you won't like it." Anthony begins with hesitation.
"We should stop making films of the romance or sports genre." Anthony says.
*MURMUR* *MURMUR* The room immediately react negatively and they share the same sentiment; "Those are our money-makers…"  
"Everyone… I get your knee-jerk reactions but here's the thing. Isaac proved that people are hungry for something new. He made films that we thought are against the market but he ended up setting a new trend. I hate to admit it but, it's a start of a new era for the industry." Anthony drops.  
"Then what are we supposed to make films about?" A random board member asks.
"It's best if you get the details from our creative teams themselves, but I can say something. I've seen various films that 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer' competed against in Sorrento and I think we can grab some ideas from them.
"First of all, we can stop making sports films. I can say with confidence that 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer' gobbled up the slice of the sports genre. Hell, I think 'September Ninth' even made sports films boring last year, making the sports films flop. Tell me, everyone. If you go to a theater that shows 'September Ninth' and 'Hard Ice', which one would you have seen?" Anthony asks.  
"... September Ninth..." is the split decision winner.  
"Exactly. September Ninth was more exciting to watch than 'Hard Ice'. That's why 'Hard Ice' flopped despite being nominated and winning awards. I myself would rather watch a real hockey match or behind the scenes footage of real athletes than watch 'Hard Ice'." Anthony says.  
"Now, would you folks rather watch 'Gold, Blood, and the Deer' or 'Yard Blues'?" Anthony asks again.  
"..." Tayaw's film again is the winner.
"Right. And it's for the same reason. While we can't make a gangster film like Isaac's, we can borrow some ideas. We can make films that talk about searching for family." Anthony suggests, receiving nods of approval.  
"When it comes to romance films on the other hand, we can still make them." Aiden says. This gets a more positive response.
"But we can't make them the way we used to. I've seen some of this year's best films in festivals. I've noticed that they still have flavors of romance in them but just like 'September Ninth', they are more about the growth of the characters as people, not just fighting for deserving it. Don't worry though. Our people right now are splitting their hairs to make that happen." Anthony reports.
Seeing the approval in the room, Anthony is now more confident. However, he does not want to appear dictatorial to his superiors.  
"If you're all not ready to give up on romance and sports, maybe we should make films that are not fairy tales but actually talk about the reality of love and athletes' lives. Those are just suggestions, but any topic really that is unique and will be interesting to people, we should make films about those." Anthony concludes.
That makes the room enter a lively discussion. Anthony can finally smile, having gotten through the skulls of the board members.

A ground work for a novel idea in the future.

English is not my first language so excuse my limited vocabulary and bad grammar. thanks

"I have an idea..." Jaden said rather doubtfully. 
"You do...?" Eager asked seriously.
"I'm not so sure. But, won't looking for the gate in the bazaar be better? I mean this is not an idea, but this can be a suggestion. Can't it? I mean, those kids appeared in the bazaar. So it wouldn't be bad to start searching from there."
"I had thought of that too. But search for what? It can be anything. From a nail to a mountain. It can be anything. And, we aren't sure that such a thing exist. We aren't sure at all. If I do not find that thing as early as possible, the master might kill me. So. We are apparently going to run a search for a nonexistent thing and if we donot get the thing, I'll die."
"Everyone dies one day or the other."
"You really feel like joking now?"
"I'm not kidding. Everybody dies." He broke into peels of laughter. He was feeling rather pity for his friend. But he wanted to lift his friend's mood light. He knew what would happen if Eager was provoked. 
"My life is under threat here! And you are joking there! What a friend!!! And... Everybody dies isn't an excuse to get me killed."
"I give up! I'm not someone who can pick a fight with you."
Eager regained his composure. He was now the brave General of the Royal Army.
"Everyone! Lock down the whole bazaar! We donot want any shop to be open in the city bazaar. Run a search! Search everything! Everywhere! From a nail to a shop! Search each one! We need to find the gate! Jaden!"
"Yes sir! The orders will be implemented."
Jaden couldn't help but let out a sigh seeing his friend. He knew that Eager was working for someone he didn't like.
Huge changes occurred ten years ago. Both of them were about twenty back then. They had just enrolled the army. Their former king was an amiable person. He treated everyone with respect. The army served him with respect too. But now... The new king was obeyed only because everyone was he was powerful. 
Jaden and Eager had been very close to the king back then. Even though their family backgrounds weren't great, the king treated them well. They were loyal to the king. But then... This monster came. Murdered the king and forced the army to obey his orders. Everyone working in the palace, worked there only because of the Master's overwhelming power. Jaden and Eager were forced to join too. They had to because, those who left were killed.
The princess was the one who suffered a lot. She lost both her parents. She was made to live inside the palace. She had to serve the very same person who killed her family. That was unbearable for the girl. She tried to escape. Escaped several times. But was brought back in. The all servants and guards sympathised her.
But there was no way they could help her. Eager had tried to help her several times. But Denver never let him help her. Eager was forced to be loyal to the Master. And, yes. He is loyal. He wouldn't betray the Master. But his attachment to the former king and his family was just...

*******

In the bazaar, the Royal Army marched in with loud beating drums. The one carrying the drum shouted on top of his lungs.
"Order from the army General."
Then, the person next to him read out the order from the general. He asked everyone to stop the trades. Everyone listened to the announcement with great attention. The words of the announcer was crisp, loud and clear. Everyone in the bazaar could hear it. He asked the buyers to leave the bazaar within five vadiums (ten minutes).
The buyers started to leave one by one. When all the buyers were out of the bazaar, the vendors were disappointed. Their goods wouldn't be sold thst day. But the thing they were curious about was why the Royal Army instructed them to leave.
The the announcer, asked the sellers to leave the place too. The sellers were astounded. Why did they have to leave? Then their things? Their goods? They couldn't believe it.
But before one second if astonishment had passed, the announcer asked them to leave the goods where it was. The sellers were reluctant to leave. But they had to go, for it was the army commanding them. They could just bow their heads leave before murmuring among themselves about the 'motive' of the army.
The army rushed in as a stampede. They turned over every vessel, every fruit, every chair, everything in front of them. The sellers were not far from the scene. They could see the army's actions clearly. They could only bow their heads down and let out long sighs. All their goods were being overturned ruthlessly.
Minutes later Eager arrived with Jaden. The inspected the area well to see of the army had missed anything. But they couldn't find any thing. The buildings were thoroughly checked. Even the wall weren't spared. Every thing was checked with great vigor and interest.
Eager could see them shaking mud pots and some even ransacking a jewelry store. He turned a blind eye to those things aside as it was not the priority here. He asked the soldiers to search everywhere they can.
Some time later, all he could see was a completely destroyed market place. There was nothing left to check. Everything was either broken or dirty. The dust was hard to shake off. He sighed. The hope he had while issuing the order had died along with the stampede of the soldiers. 

"The present and future is always influenced by the past...."

~~~~~~~~~~~
 Aster was relieved to know that it was a dream. But wait! It felt so real. As if it really did happen. As if he had gone to some unknown place and fought with the mages there. Aster felt like laughing at that thought. He was so pathetic in dwelling. 
~~~~~~~~~~~
 Tania lay on the floor, still pale. She won't do that. She didn't want to. She didn't want them to attack earth. But she has no choice now. 
 'Aster, you have to face them. I'm helpless.' She thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~
 "Aster, those mages will strike again. You die or live is not their matter. What they want is something else. You are just their tool to reach their aim.They want to use your powers. That's it. Tania cannot hold them off for long. She's strong. But, her emotions will decieve her. She will have to open that door again. But, the next time they strike, they will probably announce their aim."

After Felix toggled a good distance inside the market, he lifted his hand, which had the AP bracelet attached to and called softly, "Queen, Please scan for those materials, Fountain Purity Drop, Darkstar Fly Dust, Golem Brass, Voidling's scales, and lastly, Uncommon Elemental Flower."
In a jiffy, the Queen used the AP bracelet scanning feature, making the bracelet emit invisible blue particles in 50 meters radius around Felix.
'I need to upgrade the bracelet.' Felix frowned his eyebrows at this limited range. He knew that the current new generation of Bracelets could allow the Queen to scan 500 meters or more. But for now, he focused on the materials. He just made a mental note to shop for another bracelet later on.
The players near him weren't surprised by his weird pose as a lot of players were doing the same in every part of the market. After all, in this market, there were thousands of sellers, yet no search bar to facilitate finding what one wanted.
Soon, the Queen finished her scanning and informed him, 'I found four materials of the mentioned list in those marked sellers."
Felix looked around and saw four sellers marked in red particles by the Queen. He thanked her and moved towards the nearest one of them.
After arriving near the seller, he saw that there was a small crowd of players that was surrounding him. though only one player was actually talking to the seller as the rest were gazing in focus at nothing.
Ignoring this sight, Felix aimed his bracelet at the huge hologram before him and the content of it was copied in his bracelet. 
After doing so, he went to an empty spot and stood like the others gazing at nothing. Though, that what appeared to the rest but for Felix, he was browsing items on an invisible holographic list.
This list was exactly the same as the prize pool list he had in his games. From the limited hundred items to the limited stock available to trade. The only difference between them was that none of the items were the same! Except of course the elemental stones.
"Got you!" After scrolling down to the bottom of the list, Felix showed a faint grin at finding the Darkstar Fly Dust. Plus, there were still 10 grams available in the stock! Though, Felix needed only 4 for the potion.
He already bought 1 gram from the Beethoven auction with 320 million SC! Yet now, he was looking at this material that cost just 1000 GP per gram!
Without wasting time, he closed the hologram and went to the seller.
"Trade or buy?" The seller asked him in a straightforward manner.
"I want to buy 4 grams of the Darkstar Fly Dust." Felix answered.
"As per the league's rules, please wire 4000 GP first and my 5% commission after the purchase." The seller informed Felix as he extended his AP bracelet to him.
Without an ounce of hesitation, Felix touched the seller's bracelet, sending him the needed amount. Felix was already familiar with the rules of the League, and he understood that he didn't need to worry about getting scammed or cheated out of his money.
Everyone here was a member of the League and based on rules, cheating another player had only one penalty, which was getting sent to mine elemental stones on mineral planets.
One should never forget that elemental stones get created in the most hellish environments, each based on the element. For example, fire stones could only be found on planets like Solaria planet, the one Felix played death race in!
Thus, those sellers could be trusted to not escape with his game points.
Ti-ring!
After hearing the sound of the notification, the seller withdrew his hand with a pleased smile on his face. He created a minimized version of the list and scrolled down until he located the material. He then clicked on buy four grams only and closed down the hologram.
"Contract or not?" The seller asked.
"Contract please." Felix replied expressionlessly.
Immediately after, the seller projected an invisible contract before Felix, entailing that Felix needed to pay him 5% of the total amount spent to buy the material. Reason? His labor fees!
That's right, his labor fees for reaching the gold rank and obtaining this randomized prize pool in his game!
You see, all of those players in the market were selling none other than items from the prize pools they obtained in their games!
Obviously, none of those items were actually belonging to them but to the SGA!
They were simply displaying the latest prize pool list they got after playing a game to those interested in the items they lucked out on.
This loophole was working only because players get 100 randomized items in the prize pool on each game. 
This meant, there was a high chance for a player to get not a single item or resource that he wanted while getting an item that was desperately needed by another player.
In other words, those two if they met, could totally trade items or buy them for each other with a small labor commission for the troubles.
This loophole was exiting for a long time now, and the SGA or the Queen never bothered to patch it up since it was actually beneficial for the Alliance's economy!
The players weren't doing anything wrong as they simply use their own game points which they earned rightfully in their games to buy items from other lists!
The only thing the SGA forbade was direct game points transfer. As for trading items or 'selling' them? They were never bothered about it.
Their indirect approval made this new emerging industry explode in popularity! to the point it got an official name: Prize Pool Free Trading.
Free Trading in the sense, every player in the platform no matter his rank was able to join as well, he just needed to play one game. That's all it took.
Felix literally could right now find an empty spot in the summit and display his prize pool with the intention to sell. 
Though, he would rather not embarrass him like this as he was still in bronze rank, which meant those items were also below the interest of probably every player in the League.
Thus, he only came here with the intention to buy the materials, nothing more, nothing less.
After finishing reading the contract that was filled with the usual known terms, Felix signed it and sent it back to the seller. Before getting told what to do, Felix touched the bracelet of the seller, wiring the 200 GP commission.
The seller nodded his head in satisfaction after seeing what he earned. He literally did absolutely nothing but display a list that belonged to the SGA and he earned 200 GP free. 
Though he did work his ass off to reach the gold rank, and that was something not any average joe could do.
Seeing his content expression, Felix smiled bitterly after remembering himself practicing this business on the Androxa's public market. 
Instead of getting rich players interested in buying from his prize pool, he was only getting commoners asking about what he was selling or even worse enforcers, trying to capture him due to selling without a permit.
This was one of the reasons in his previous life that got him obsessed with joining the Ivy League. The fact those sellers before him could just sit here and chill, yet game points fill their accounts without dropping a sweat. He always wanted to do the same, alas the trials were too hard for him.
"I believe you received the serial code of the materials?"
Felix's absent-mindedness was broken by the seller's polite question.
Felix nodded his head after he checked that indeed, four serial codes were added to his AP bracelet.
"Glad to do business with you." The seller gave him a polite smile and gestured with his hand for the player waiting behind Felix patiently.
Not wanting to block his business, Felix turned around and left, heading to the next seller that the Queen was marking. 
Felix wasn't afraid about the fact that his serial codes were known to the seller as the contract they signed forbade the seller from utilizing the code directly or indirectly.
Nothing could fool the Queen's vision.
...
15 minutes later...
Felix went through all of the marked sellers and obtained all the materials needed except for the last one.
The Uncommon Elemental Flower.
He spent around 19500 to buy 14 Fountain Purity drops, 1 Golem Brass, 4 Darkstar Fly Dust, and 2 Voidling's Scales. With the DawnTree leaf that he bought in the auction before, he currently only needed the All-elemental Flower and he could make contact with a witch to concoct the potion for him!
If it wasn't for the 2nd game and the massive amount of game points he obtained, he would have taken at least a year or so to gather those materials!
Though, he was still having difficulty finding the Uncommon Elemental flower. he continued to scan every once and a while, yet the Queen always gave him negative results.
Felix wasn't really surprised about the lack of this material as he knew that it was extremely useful to any bloodliner alive. This put him in a pickle as this material was a must-buy since it was the core of the potion!
It was known for being split into three grades, Common Element Flower, which possessed a petal for each of the 7 known common elements.
Uncommon Elemental Flower possessed a petal for those 7 common elements in addition to every uncommon element in the universe. Finally, the All Elemental Flower, which had every single element whether it's known or not. Sadly, this flower already went extinct.
This flower had many uses besides being a core material to the elemental potion. The most known use was actually ingesting it directly. 
Doing so helps to increase the affinity rating by 3%! Though, it was a must to have an element corresponding to a petal for that effect to take place.
For Felix, who needed the Uncommon Flower to make an Elemental Potion that had all the elements except for the rare ones, this made it challenging for him to acquire one.


Felix Maxwell was destined to be a loser, born on one of the weakest races and on the least favorable of situations, he was forced to face adversity head-on as he traveled across the vast universe where dangers laid in every corner, one day traveling in hopes of riches he stumbled upon a ruin where a supreme being laid imprisoned, in a stroke of bad luck the being laid its eyes on him and tried to take over his body, forcing itself upon him.

The Wilton Manor was basically ego laid out in brick; it was overly large and ostentatious to the point of intimidation, just like the other manors the carriage in which Dante was in had passed. The Manor was not nearly as old as visitors assumed and every stone was set even and square as if those who built it were set on perfection, as if they really loved what they made.
Its nascent stone walls were a pale grey and were barren of the moss and ivy that clung to the walls of some of the older manors. The windows were oversized and more than a casual glance could count. It had large oak double doors and there was a wide circle in front of the dwelling with an ornate fountain in the centre. 
The Manor was extremely fancy and everything about it said expensively built, inside and out. 
Mival Wilton had thought himself worthy of being gentry even if he didn't have the title. Most of the older male nobles that had generational wealth looked down on him as classless 'new money' who was trying desperately to fit in. So Mival had felt the need to show them his importance by building his own Manor. 
They still turned their noses at him in secret but the female nobles and the younger male nobles had been quite taken with him. Partly because of the businesses he ran. 
He owned shops in the Adler Helton and other buildings across the capital that sold jewelry, silk clothes, antiques, figurines and paintings. He also owned shops that sold weapons in a building that was a couple of buildings away from the Adler Helton. The man had sources of income from almost everything. 
Dante was impressed because Malcer had told him that having money makes one to be regarded as a person in the capital. Mival obviously had a lot of money so he was definitely a person, maybe even more than a person. 
After Mival had taken Dante to the back room of the dress shop, he had asked him more questions. He finally believed that Dante knew Malcer when Dante got all the questions right and the both of them went back into the dress shop where the sellers and ladies gushed over the young man. Mival asked the sellers to get clothes for Dante because the box he had brought with him to the Adler Helton was the only property he had and there were no clothes in it. The sellers happily complied and Mival stood next to them as they took Dante's measurements rather enthusiastically. Both the sellers and the ladies in the shop asked Dante questions such as: Are you married? Do you plan on getting married soon? Do you have someone you want to marry?
Mival constantly told them to stop but that only spurred them on and the man eventually gave up, letting them ask Dante anything they wanted to. Dante answered all their questions politely and the atmosphere in the shop was quite lovely, with more ladies coming in but none leaving, till one of the ladies tried on a necklace which Dante made the mistake of complementing.
"That looks really pretty," Dante stated offhandedly as a seller wore a necklace around Lady Luna's neck and all conversations between the ladies in the shop abruptly stopped. 
Lady Luna's head snapped towards Dante so fast that she could have broken her neck."M- Me? I'm pretty?" 
"Don't answer that. It's a trap," Mival had muttered in a low voice and Dante heard him but he didn't want to ignore the lady's question. Mival laughed and clapped his hands together when none of the ladies spoke because they were waiting for Dante's answer. "Now, how about -" 
"Yes. The necklace really brings out your eyes," Dante replied her and Mival briefly shut his eyes as he prepared himself for what would happen next while a man that Mival had sent for earlier walked into the shop. 
"What about me Dante?" the lady sitting next to Lady Luna asked as she got up from the couch. "Am I pretty?" 
"Yes," Dante said before another lady asked the same question. And another. And another. And another. 
"Stop!" Mival announced when they all began to ask the same question at once and they became quiet. "All the ladies here are pre-" 
"Dante, you think the necklace is pretty?" a lady asked, cutting Mival off, and Dante nodded. "Will it make me look even prettier?"
"I smell ulterior motives," Lady Luna said as she narrowed her eyes and clutched the necklace she was wearing.
"Yes, it will," Dante stated and his eyes widened while his mouth fell open when all the ladies lunged at Lady Luna.
There was screaming, breaking of objects and ripping of dresses as the ladies fought to get to the necklace and Mival shoved Dante and the man that had walked in before the madness started out of the shop. 
"Take him to the Manor," Mival told the man and pushed Dante's box out of the room just as a couch was knocked over before shutting the door to the shop.
Dante slightly frowned at the memory as he wondered if everything was alright in the shop now before the carriage came to a stop and he looked out the open window at the large Manor. There were two men who were wearing clothes made of linen and shoes made of leather standing outside the carriage.
One of the men went to the back of it before opening the door to the box keeper and removed Dante's box from it while the other man opened the door next to Dante when the young man was about to open it. The man that had grabbed the box began to head towards the building with it and Dante stepped out of the carriage. 
"Welcome to the Wilton Manor," the man who had opened the door said with a smile on his face.

It was different from now. The person who accompanied her was now standing by her side - Di Fuyi. She felt inexplicably excited as if she owned the world. 

Di Fuyi was particular with cleanliness. Apparently, this guy did not always come to the night market, so when Gu Xijiu brought him to the night market he somewhat resisted… 

Gu Xijiu explained to him, the food culture of a city was not shark's fin or bird's nest boasted by luxurious restaurants, but the street food in the night market.

After the detailed explanation by Gu Xijiu, Di Fuyi finally sat down with her in front of a food stall…
Of course, when he sat down, he applied the cleaning spell so the chair they sat on became as clean as freshly washed. Some of the tables and chairs had been very smokey and the original color could not be seen. However, after being used by Celestial Master Zuo, the table and chairs became new as if a layer of skin had been peeled off and revealed the original color.

Di Fuyi was actually not interested in these street foods. He was a very picky eater. Sometimes he was not even interested in the meal prepared by the famous chef.

But when he saw Gu Xijiu enjoying her street food, he could not help but followed suit…
When Gu Xijiu was eating, she felt that he always watching her. He looked at her with almost every bite whenever he ate the food in his hand…

This man had always been the superior. Regardless where he went, he was always elegant and clean. Now, he had to sit by the roadside and eat poorly. Gu Xijiu felt a certain sense of pity towards him but was also a bit excited. She purposely asked him, "How does it taste?"

At this moment Di Fuyi was trying to bite the fish ball from a stick. When she asked, he looked up at her and thought for a moment. He honestly asked her, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Gu Xijiu was speechless. She could not help laughing and pulled him up, "Alright, I don't want to make your stomach suffer. Let's go."

Di Fuyi was relieved and he threw the fishball stick that made his stomach churn. He held her hand continued walking.

He was rich. He would buy everything that Gu Xijiu liked. After a few times, all the sellers on the street had known that the both of them were rich. When the sellers saw them, they served them very politely and attentively.

It was a rewarding trip after they walked for one round.

Fortunately, she had a super spacious storage bag. No matter how big the thing was, she could store them in the storage bag without it being cumbersome.

In fact, the things sold in this stall were special but not rare nor precious. Gu Xijiu bought them just for fun and also to give away to her friends.   

Both of them just casually shopped and Di Fuyi just followed Gu Xijiu.

He never thought that he would have the free time to casually shop. He used to travel to different and nice places with beautiful scenery. However, it was his first time shopping with a woman. 

Surprisingly, he did not feel bored but was still very happy. Especially when he saw her sparkling eyes, he was even happier. 

Although they had changed and made up, they were a man and a woman who looked handsome and pretty.

Those sellers were also very good at selling. They always praised them as the perfect couple and greeted them with best wishes.

Whenever they talked about this, Di Fuyi was even happier and became exceptionally generous. Sometimes the money he paid was even more than the price of the product.
 


In a modern world, a professional assassin was murdered by her beloved and found herself revived in an ancient world as a general's daughter with a weak physique. She was engaged to a prince, but because she did not have a nice appearance, her fiancé and sister attempted to kill her. Although she had to struggle to survive, there were also those who unconditionally loves her that supported her in her time of need. 

How does she intend to adapt and survive in such a foreign and hostile world? Follow Gu Xijiu on her journey to discover her one true love!

He lifted the coffin and moved it out. 'Where should I go now? Oh, maybe I should get weapons and armor now that everything I had is gone. I even lost the sword while I was falling.'
Dives went off in a sleek carriage. The carriage read [powered by mana by plugging a hand into the hand-shaped hole in a circle and turn the hand to turn the circle and the wheels. Two others were waiting in the car and just before the door closed he could see Dives shaking his head. 
Zeeth went off to the hunters association. The one thing he did have was the spatial bag Avery gave him to hold. He was hoping to meet them there and figure out what to do. All four of them were found at the reception telling the woman behind the counter, "we did kill them, I'm telling you we killed a bunch."
"I'm sorry, ma'am I need to see the bodies."
"I told you, the dungeon caved in and they were lost! It's not our fault."
Zeeth walked up to them, surprised at his luck. It usually didn't work so quickly. "Hey, guys."
All four of them turned to him, staring in disbelief. Reya was the first to run up to him and hug him. "Thank you so much for saving me, I heard about what Russel did, I'm so sorry for passing out, I hate heights I thought I was going to die!" She wailed. 
"It's alright," he awkwardly told her, patting her back. He didn't know what he was supposed to do in such a situation, having lost his memory and never remembering such a situation. "By the way, I have the bag with our first monsters but I lost the rest."
"Oh, thanks!" Diane exclaimed.
"Never mind that, why are you carrying a gold coffin with you?" Avery asked.
"Who cares, show her the monsters, we need to know how much this will get us." 
"Guys, let's calm down, people are looking at us…" their fourth member said. "By the way, my name's Aroc."
"Right, I've never met you before." Zeeth handed the bag to the woman and shook Aroc's hand, still in the suit of armor. But the helmet was taken off and he could see Aroc had pink hair and a very soft face. 
"Aroc is the cutest member of the team, he is our mascot!" Diane hugged him from behind.
"He?" Zeeth asked. In all his experiences, men had sharper faces but his face was much softer. 'There are a lot of people in the world.'
Aroc blushed and tried to put his helmet back on but Diane stopped him and rubbed her cheek against his, squealing, "Aroc, you're so cute!"
"This is 5550 Styrs." the receptionist told them. "Would you like to split this five ways?"
"No, Russel- oh right. Russel's. Gone." Aroc mumbled
Reya Blurted, "He was a jerk."
"No, he wasn't!" Aroc declared, "he was a good person, he taught me a lot of things!"
"He pushed us into the hole to kill us." 
"That- he said he tripped!"
"Aroc, we all know that was a lie. He was jealous." Avery said. She took the spatial bag back while the body of the horned wolf, large slime skin, bloody alligator, and lizard were all put on a conveyor belt leading into a wall. He heard the swish of a teleporter and the smell of blood from the creatures mellowed out. 
He took his part of the cash, 1110, stored with his other 750 Styrs and left it with the association, wanting to wait until he got his things back to take the cash. 
"That wasn't him, he was better than that."
"Aroc, he may have been helpful to you since you were a boy and he didn't treat you like us, but he was a pervert. He was only with us for so long because you like him. He may have been like a brother to you but he was a scumbag to us. Don't you remember, when he first thought you were a girl, he tried to touch your butt?"
Zeeth left them after sorting out his money, not wanting to get mixed up in their mess. The last thing he heard was, "I still don't want him to be slandered even in death, he's already dead, just leave him be." and Aroc angrily stormed off.
The first place he went was the weapons and armor shop all while trying to figure out what to write in his book. The storefront showed off many suits of armor and matching weapons in the window, the same ones he mentioned in his book, but the actual store was multiple stories tall and housed some of the fanciest stuff around, prospering greatly from the vicinity it had to the Hunters association. It seemed like a mall, there were many stores with the Hunters Association logo and next class designs in their products, but there were also many individual sellers showing off their own items, usually of lower quality or messier. He looked around at a few of the items and it seemed that most of them had no magic imbued or badly made circles etched in. 
The floor beneath them, labeled U1, was much less crowded, people looked richer and more well off, they were selling better items but there were fewer sellers and buyers here. They began looking more like what he made, some of them even surpassing his items, but still, nothing really caught his attention. He tried going down another floor but two bald, burly people in thin metal armor stopped him. They grunted, "Only for authorized personnel."
He went back to the U1 floor and began really looking at the items. People in glowing armor and fancy clothing watched him with aversion. Sellers followed his hands cautiously and they were all thinking the same thing, 'this poor fellow will try to steal something.'
He stopped in front of a Hunters Association store and stared at something. It was a large sword with a circle he had never tried before. The owner, a thin man with a similarly thin mustache, looked down at him as he bent down to stare at it closer and thought, 'Ugh, he's in front of my store. Look at his dirty brown robe, when was the last time he took a bath? He better not try to swipe anything, everyone's watching.'
"What does this circle do?" Zeeth asked. He tried checking it with God's Eye but all it said was [Unknown Circle]. It seemed there were limits, it could easily tell him the strengths of humans but there were many things he had to learn himself if it wasn't living. 
"That sword will cost 1000 Styrs, sir," he said.
"Okay… but what does the circle do?"
The seller sighed and said, "sir, are you sure you would like that one?" but he was thinking, 'Gah, he better not touch anything, I'd have to wash it off. Why can't he just go somewhere else, does he want to blow his entire monthly wage?'
"No, I don't know if I want to buy it, I want to see what it does," Zeeth replied, slightly annoyed that he was avoiding the question for some reason.
He stared at the sword and Zeeths hand with his narrowed eyes, "The circle allows you to add a gravitational push on the sword upon activation in the direction the edge of the blade is facing."
"Oh, awesome. Gravity circles." he was spending his time trying to memorize the placement of the circle so he could try it himself. 
'Just letting you know, all these people feel disgusted and distrustful of you.'
'What? Why?'
'Probably because you look like you just climbed out the sewers and want to steal something, I can't blame them. You look disgraceful for someone of your strength.'
'That's harsh, this robe was a gift and a magic tool.'
'They don't know that, you look poor and like a beggar.'
'Hey, would you be able to make this?'
'I only know the basics. I never spent too much time learning how to make magic weapons, tools make people weak and over-reliant on temporary items that could be lost at any time.'
Zeeth asked, "can I test the sword?"
He eyed his arms and legs and noticed they were in fact muscular. He was probably a simple hunter with some strength and his sense as a salesman told him to at least try and sell the sword so he took out two brown gloves and said, "Please wear this glove before handling it."
Cina came down the steps and saw Zeeth's back and tried to walk back up the stairs but two others, Puq and Luka were coming down the steps and she didn't want to go back in case it made her look weird so the three of them came down the steps and saw Zeeth. Puq held Luka back from greeting him and simply watched. 
Zeeth put on the gloves that he thought fit nicely with his robe, and picked up the sword with surprising ease, lifting it far higher since he expected it to be heavier, especially for a sword that was meant to use gravity and weight to crush opponents. He swung it down and activated the circle, feeling the gravitational pull yanking on the sword. He definitely felt its power and it was something quite substantial, but with some random material he could find in the City of Swords, he could make something better for such a circle. 
The sellers were surprised he didn't let go of the sword upon activating the circle. Most people would have trouble handling such a sword on their first try, but having been trained and held up to the standards of an ancient sage dragon, he was much stronger than a normal human. He thought back to his tough times with Afir all of a sudden and remembered the near trauma he had trying to escape his deadly blades of wind and unpredicted punches. Almost every night, he was bloody and bruised, but Afir had somehow always fully healed him by the time morning came. At first, he thought it was a blessing but it turned out to be the greatest misfortune of his life, he could always be healed enough for another terrifying day of "training" and painful near-death experiences. 
But he must admit, it was the fastest he had ever grown and the most helpful time of his life for his future endeavors. 
He put the sword back and took the gloves off. "Sorry, it's not what I'm looking for."
"What? A 1000 Styr sword isn't up to your standards?"
"Hey, peasant." Someone said. It was a tall fellow with a clean-cut and orange hair a lot like Cina's. His expensive armor and shield along with his demeanor easily showed to others that he wasn't someone to be truffled with. Or in Zeeth's eyes, a narcissistic asshole. "This place isn't for the poor, you best get out of here before you keep lying your ass off."
"I don't remember asking for your opinion."
He checked him with God's Eye and he wasn't anything that great either. He was slightly stronger than Puq and only his armor was impressive. 
His massive shield, his only weapon, read [Albert's Shield. Durability: 1198/1250 Defense:1380. A  shield adorned with high-class gems. A phosphorescent shield that can be used as a compass and designed specially to parry attacks.]
While his full suit armor said, [Alberts Armor. Durability: 1700/2500. Defense: 700. Made for ease of movement during the battle, its defense is low although the great craftsmanship and magic increase its durability greatly. Phosphorescent and can grow a pair of decorative metal wings.]
"Listen, if you can't afford 1000 styrs, you're better off on the first floor. Don't come to bother us here, you're unappealing to look at." A few other customers and even some brave sellers chuckled at his joke, his smirk turning into a confident grin. 
Luka jumped in and told him, "don't judge a book by its cover. He can easily take you on."
The simple phrase sent Zeeth into a volley of memories, flashes of entertainment like music, movies, games, and books flashed in his mind, he remembered watching comedy shows and amazing books of adventure and thrills, so much of his cherished memories he didn't even know he had all came back to him. 
When he came back, he looked around and finally noticed Luka, Puq, and Cina. Albert also noticed the three but focused only on Cina. her long orange hair, pretty face, and beautiful eyes mesmerized him, he couldn't stop looking. But Cina was only looking at Zeeth, disregarding Albert.
Zeeth started talking but a guard interrupted, "do not start a fight here."
"What's this about a fight?" someone asked. Coming down the steps was someone, a short man holding a large suitcase that looked like it was holding a long guitar. It was Meres, Page's grandpa, coming down.
"Meres?" Zeeth asked.
"Zenith. Interesting name choice. Don't start a fight here, people don't like me here."
"What are you doing here?"
"Here to check up on you. Make sure you didn't run away."
"Why would I do that?"
"The skeleton isn't having as easy of a time as you are."
Dives burst from the stairs, staring at a beeping disc. He glossed over Zeeth and stared at Meres. 
After a few seconds of shock and slight fear he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Don't worry, Dives. I'm not here to fight, just here to check up on this kid."
"Uncle Dives, can you ask this filthy bumpkin to get out of here if he isn't buying anything?" Albert asked. 
"Albert, don't get involved."
"What? Uncle! What do you mean?"
"Albert. Stop being rude to customers. Another word and you'll be banned for a week." Dives said stiffly, still staring at Meres. "Come with me downstairs. Zeeth, come along."
He made sure to take a long look at sellers and Albert and grinned as their jaws dropped. "He knows Dives?" one whispered.
"And he's friends with someone Dives is scared of?"
"What the- but he's filthy and probably poor."
He hopped down the stairs after Dives and Meres while Luka and Cina were glaring at the sellers. 
"Meres, why would you come back?" Dives immediately asked upon entering the room. Beyond the guards and closed doors was a room full of packaged boxes and wrapped items. A few unwrapped items lay sprawled on tables and glowed magically. 
Meres said, "I told you it was to see the kid. I'll be leaving in a minute."
"Meres, you are not a welcomed man here. Please leave and never come again, things will get violent if you try something."
"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do?"
"Meres. Please just leave before my father finds out. This city will fall if he sees you here."
Zeeth looked between the two of them and then at all the scattered boxes and items. Anything that was unwrapped was of much higher quality than anything on the two other floors. Round shields that spun at incredible speeds to increase defense and attack, wands and staffs that strengthened magic attacks, circles carved for unknown functions.

Zeeth is kidnapped by God and sent to another world, but all of his memories from his previous world is taken and scattered all over the world. He is granted the amazing skill of taming up to 100 creatures, but his past is filled with mystery and surprise. is he even human?

In the group chat, Reeves was talking again.
"Charles, did you buy it? I think the situation isn't good! Looks like this 10,000 yuan red packet is going to be distributed by your!"
"I can guarantee it. Today, GameStop will definitely drop by the daily limit!"
After saying that.
Immediately, someone chimed in, "That's right, Reeves is Little Buffett. He can definitely see the long term. How can this piece of trash stock possibly rise?! It will be de-listed soon!"
Linda: "Reeves, I have saved 50,000 dollars and am prepared to invest in the stock market. When the time comes, you have to take care of me!"
Reeves laughed. "Linda, beautiful lady, of course there's no problem. Just treat me to coffee!"
"I just bought shipping shares and they've risen. Unfortunately, I bought too little. It's only 400,000 USD!"
Linda: "400,000 USD! Reeves, how much have you earned in this short amount of time?"
Reeves smiled smugly. "Not much, not much. Including other stocks, it's only 10,000 USD!"
Linda: "My God! Reeves, you're really amazing! Looks like I have to treat you to coffee!"
Reeves: "The stock market is a place that creates miracles! 10,000 US dollars really isn't that much!"
Charles was also feeling a little nervous.
GameStop still wasn't rising.
However, Charles wouldn't give up so easily.
At this stage, he definitely couldn't give up halfway!
He had already invested 180 million US dollars, but it was still too early!
Three hours later.
Finally, Charles had already invested 400 million USD, and his hands were already sore!
There was still 100 million USD left. Charles wouldn't give up at all and he continued to operate.
Very quickly, half an hour later, due to the short selling being too fast, Charles quickly used up 500 million USD.
At this time.
Suddenly, as if an extremely powerful force had joined in, all the stocks on the selling list were instantly wiped out.
Seeing this situation, the short sellers who were suppressing the stocks suddenly became cowardly and withdrew all the selling lists.
When Charles saw this scene, he became spirited.
Even if he was a rookie in the stock market, he would definitely be able to see the problem.
At this stage, the short sellers had already lost!
The retail investors had successfully protected the opening of the market!
As expected, Soros' analysis wasn't bad. The situation suddenly became better.
Soon.
The stock price of GameStop began to rise rapidly!
A big sun line!
Thousands of troops and horses came to meet!
Hua Hua Hua!
There was no stopping at all!
In less than five minutes, it rose sharply.
Because Charles had already invested all his funds, now he was just watching the show.
Charles was relieved.
Now, the stock price was still rising. Not long after, it had already broken through four points!
And Charles had bought 500 million US dollars! ! !
How much were these 4 points?
At this moment.
In the chat group of his classmates.
Reeves was showing off his battle results to the crowd.
"F * ck! GameStop has become famous!"
The message was sent by Linda. Obviously, Linda was also paying attention to the stock news of GameStop.
Reeves was stunned. "What's going on? GameStop has suddenly become famous? Wait, isn't this a huge increase? ? ?"
Previously, Reeves saw GameStop plummet and didn't pay attention to it.
He didn't expect it to become popular now, and it was such a huge increase!
As expected, not only did the game station recover the lost land, but it also went up all the way. It seemed like it was going up by the limit?
Reeves was instantly dumbstruck.
Charles was delighted as he watched the stock price continue to rise. His profits were also increasing.
The retail investors in the story, like sharks that smelled blood, also joined the battle.
Wanting to get a share, one of the organizations also joined in.
But it seemed to be too late!
Because the stock price finally stopped at the top number, and Charles was shocked.
From falling all the way to the top, it was only a short time!
Obviously, Charles had been buying the stocks sold by others, and that made many short sellers think that some new force was involved.
At the same time, Soros was also buying this stock wantonly.
Therefore, the short sellers had to bow their heads today and choose to close the net immediately. They could only fight again tomorrow!
Charles nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that he had made good gains today, but it had already gone up by the limit. According to Soros' previous estimation, this stock still had a lot of potential because it could still go up crazily. All he had to do was to wait patiently.
Moreover, it had already stopped. It could not be bought or sold at all.
Even if Charles wanted to manipulate it, he would have to wait until tomorrow.
According to this figure, Charles had made a profit of more than 40 million today!
At this time, Charles only had one thought, and that was to keep Soros and the others!
Soros had casually sent a document and made him earn tens of millions of dollars. It could be seen that information was a powerful force in this era.
Seeing that the group was bustling with activity, many people were@Charles, and many of his friends had sent private messages.
They were all asking if Charles had any insider information and how much money he had earned.
Charles only sent a message to the group saying that he had earned a million dollars, but didn't say anything else.
Upon seeing Charles' message, the students instantly exploded.
"What? You earned a million dollars in just a few hours?"
"No, GameStop only grew in about ten minutes."
"That's too scary!"
At this moment, Linda sent countless heart emojis. "Charles, you're really amazing. Are you free for coffee tonight?"
"Oh my God! You earned a million dollars in just twenty minutes!"
"Charles, do you have a girlfriend? I don't have a boyfriend right now. It's quite lonely living alone!"
Then, a female student in the class sent a picture of a bed. On the soft quilt was a pair of fiery red lace underwear and a large bra.
Looking at this bra, one could imagine that the female student had at least an E cup!
Reeves was silent for a long time.
Then, he sent out a string of symbols, "... I'm convinced!"
Everyone was a student now, so a million dollars was an astronomical figure. No wonder Charles' words caused such a huge shock.
Reeves was willing to accept his loss and started sending out red packets in the group.
10,000 dollars, 200 dollars for one, Reeves sent out a total of 50 red packets!
In the past, Charles would snatch them nonstop.
But now, today, after making 48 million dollars in a few hours, Charles no longer cared about these insignificant amount of money.
After closing his laptop, Charles cleaned a bit, then went downstairs, called a taxi, and went straight to the car dealer.
In every man's heart, cars had an important position.
Just like a second wife.
There was a famous saying.
If one had money, a woman would choose to buy an apartment.
However, for a man, it was necessary to buy a car first!
Therefore, for Charles, although he could buy anything, he lived in the same house as Mikasha, and the feeling of living with a woman wasn't something that could be experienced normally.
So, Charles had nothing to hesitate about!
He would just buy a car!
