Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“A price war? I don’t believe that there are many people in the country who are willing to engage in a price war with us! If he is selling them for 390 thousand per piece, we will sell at 380 thousand per piece! This is not a loss for us. Last night, the average price of magical stones we bought from the black markets was only 320 thousand per piece. I want to see whether they are willing to lose even more money!” Li Yunchu fiercely said, “Everyone has seen the value in monopolizing the market. What do you think? Let us make our move!”

“I agree,” said Nalan Que coldly. What she wanted to do the most now was to beat Li Yixiao up. But before that, she had to find the factory. If not, how could she face Li Yixiao?

The supply of magical stones all over the country was running low. The previous week had been somewhat quiet and the market usually needed some time to react.

But even after one week, there was no new supply of magical stones. The secret practitioners in the black markets were puzzled. Were there no more magical stones in the country?

There were many families who were like Liu Li. What did they need magical stones for? People wanted to buy the stones, but there was no supply!

Someone suddenly spread the news. “The Luo City Route 301 black market is supplying an unlimited amount of magical stones! 370 thousand per piece!”

“Luo City Wen Wan City black market will provide an unlimited amount of magical stones for 360 thousand per piece!”

“Luo City Route 301 black market is going at 350 thousand per piece!”

The world was bustling for profit!

There were originally many secret practitioners in Luo City. Under these circumstances, practically all the secret practitioners in the country who engaged in the black market business had come here.

What were they here for? To replenish their stock!

In this one week, they did not sell many magical stones. Fewer people were also coming to the black market. This was because many secret practitioners knew that as long as the Wen Wan City black market reduced its price, the black market at Route 301 would do the same. People were thus tired of coming to Wen Wan City. They could just wait for the prices at the Route 301 black market to decrease. What if they made losses buying magical stones at Wen Wan City?

Many people also stopped buying magical stones and became observers instead. They were afraid that the price would keep falling until it was the same as prices overseas. If this was the case, they would make losses buying magical stones now.

Li Yunchu called for a meeting that night. 350 thousand per piece was the same as the price they had bought the magical stones at. If 390 thousand was a small loss, then 350 thousand was a huge loss for them!

“What should we do?” The Wang family asked.

“Even though the price is no longer normal, but if we stop now, we will fall short of success because of the lack of our resolve!” Li Yunchu coldly said. “I believe that we all have the bold initiative to do so, right?”

They had experienced many price wars in order to outdo their rivals in their respective businesses. If they were willing to continue a business that lost 300 million a day, what were they not willing to do?”

“What wild ambition this Li Yixiao has! Does he want to monopolize the Luo City black market?” Someone laughed coldly. “Then we will play along with them till the end. The Liu family will sell all ten thousand of our stones!”

“The Wang family as well!”

As the secret practitioners were making their way to Luo City, there was another change in the price of magical stones. “Luo City Wen Wan City black market will provide an unlimited amount of magical stones for 340 thousand per piece!”

The next morning, all the family members looked towards the black market in suspense. They were relieved when they saw secret practitioners, who had been queuing since the night before, lining up before the market opened.

The Heavenly Network was closing in on them. One third of the secret practitioners may not be able to achieve their goal. But the Heavenly Network’s current tactics had changed.

The families were also very clear that secret practitioners from all over the country had gathered here. They had received information from their families early on. The families had noted down the secret practitioners to take note of and a large majority of them were either on the way or already here.

The hundred people in the queue were the earliest wave.

Li Yunchu heaved a sigh of relief. “Even if we made some losses, we can estimate our future prospects now. From today onwards, we can get our own employees to transport magical stones from overseas. This monopolized market will be ours.”

Although they made losses with this price, the families had thought this through. They would use this batch of magical stones as a foundation for their market. In the future, they could deploy manpower to import magical stones from overseas.

They would call the shots on the price then. Furthermore, they would cash in even higher profits! historical

“To prevent the other families from stealing business,” someone warned.

“Don’t worry. The one who eats first earns the greatest profit.” Li Yunchu paid no attention to him. He turned to ask the person beside him, “How is business at the other black market?”

Someone beside Li Yunchu laughed. “We have most of the customers. They did not dare to reduce their prices, thus no one dares to go there!”

“Ha ha ha,” Li Yunchu laughed. “They have overestimated themselves.”

They sold the magical stones at a rapid speed. There was a never-ending stream of people in and out of Wen Wan City. When the families saw this stream of people, they could not help but smile. What a beautiful victory.

It was at this moment that their phones all started ringing. Everyone looked at each other. They suddenly felt uneasy...

Li Yunchu took a deep breath and answered the phone. The caller said, “The black market at Route 301 is offering to buy back the magical stones for 350 thousand per piece. Many people have come to sell their magical stones. There have even been people who said that they would buy more stones to deal in! Furthermore, it seems like they have allocated people to come here and buy stones! They purchased a few hundred stones in one go!”

Li Yunchu suddenly thought about the few deals that involved a few hundred magical stones. He thought that he had encountered a rich family. He was worried whether a problem would crop up here, but after some background checks, he found out that the buyers came from all over. They were not much different from typical secret practitioners either. Thus, he could sell the magical stones in peace.

They were actually sent by Li Yixiao?! How... lowly!

Was this Li Yixiao’s plan? Or was this Lu Shu’s?

“Stop!” Li Yunchu suddenly shouted to the people in the black market. “Stop the transactions!”

But he was too late. They had sold 47 thousand magical stones in one day!

Li Yixiao stood at the black market and said to an old man, “I didn’t expect that you would rope in more people to help. Thank you! Tonight we will drink!”

The old man stooped. “When you helped us initially, you did not ask for anything in return. We simply helped you to buy things along the way.”

“Ha ha, this time we have made the families cop a cropper. Come, let’s drink.” Li Yixiao turned around and looked at Lu Shu. He cleared his throat. “Take care of this place for me. I will take my leave.”

Lu Shu smiled and said, “Sure. I will calculate the profits with you tomorrow.”

From their earnings, they had made 24 thousand million from 60 thousand magical stones. Lu Shu had promised Li Yixiao earlier a share of 0.1%, thus Li Yixiao would earn 240 million. But Lu Shu did not promise this value to Li Yixiao, he had only promised that his earnings would exceed ten million.

As he had decided that he would gather all the magical stones in his hands once again, what he wanted to earn was not just the quota of 24 thousand million. Instead, it was the price difference between 400 thousand per piece and 350 thousand per piece. But he could not possibly get all the magical stones back.

He had only collected back 27 thousand magical stones today. The friend that Li Yixiao had called over contributed mostly to this figure.

Lu Shu had 55 thousand magical stones now. He wanted to save them for when he dealt with the Darkness Kingdom in the future.

It was not possible to quietly transfer property worth more than hundred million yuan. But with magical stones, it was different. Lu Shu did not even acknowledge any of the weapons the families had brought for him. Only the piece of jade was worth leaving behind, as well as the black pearl to frighten others.

Thus, if Lu Shu wanted to strengthen his and Lu Xiaoyu’s training abilities, he would have to go to the Darkness Kingdom and pay for the tools as priced there.

Lu Shu decided that when he had the time, he would use Anthony’s USB to check out the Darkness Kingdom.

Lu Shu was suddenly happy. His system’s back end started to record a wave of distress points.

“From Li Yunchu’s distress, +999...”

“From Nalan Que’s...”

What did win-win mean? Didn’t it mean that Lu Shu could earn both money and distress points?
