Chapter 2158: ,154, Mr. Hidden Fox’s Business Plan (1/86)
Xiong Wu was defeated.
After he left, not only did Xiong Wu lose all of his face, but the entire four divisions had also become a target of public criticism. Due to the importance of the dungeon, many players wanted to clear the dungeon, they had no choice but to cooperate with the four divisions, so they dared not speak out when they bullied the rookies.
In this battle, Xiong Wu was defeated by an “NPC”from floating cloud town. This caused the players of the entire world to boil.
For a time, many people began to voice their condemnation. When one person stood up to challenge Xiong Wu’s authority, there would be a continuous stream of successors swarming over.
It was also thanks to Xiong Wu that many rookie players felt that they had found a new haven -- floating cloud town.
Many new players did not feel that when they encountered a small problem of being chased by monsters, this general would take the initiative to protect them, but at the very least, if they were to suffer injustice!
For example, when they were being bullied due to the difference in levels.
Then this general of floating cloud town would definitely not sit idly by, right?
This general of floating cloud town was only level 1!
Wasn’t this clearly telling the players that the NPC general’s real purpose was to protect high-level players from bullying newbies.
After the battle with Xiong Wu, w.a.n.g Ling returned to the general’s residence and continued to silently recite the chant for “Heavenly G.o.d descends to earth”to acc.u.mulate HP.
At the same time, he glanced at everyone’s conclusion.
It could only be said that the players’imagination was really strong, but whether or not he made a move depended on the timing.
He wouldn’t make a move in every battle.
Furthermore, w.a.n.g Ling had a faint feeling that this battle was over, and Lotus Sun was even more suspicious of him.
In addition, some bold and careful players started to dig through the system’s updates to confirm whether he was really a player or an NPC.
After all, the appearance of such a BUG-level NPC in a novice village was a major change, and it was impossible for the system’s update announcement not to mention it at all.
Some players felt that perhaps they had overlooked it in the past, or perhaps they had missed out on some important details.
w.a.n.g Ling ignored these players’suspicions.
Because it was a normal phenomenon.
It was impossible to change everyone’s thinking according to what you thought, just like how you thought.
To sum it up, there were now three groups of players discussing his ident.i.ty.
Some people thought that he was a real NPC.
Some people thought that he was a real player pretending to be one, but only a small portion of them believed that he was an NPC. After all, if he was a real player, it would be a little too outrageous.
The third group of people had even more novel ideas. They thought that w.a.n.g Ling was a hidden NPC.
What was a hidden NPC?
Such npcs wouldn’t normally appear in public, but would act when necessary, but in reality, they were manipulated by game administrators.
And this perfectly explained why w.a.n.g Ling had so many G.o.d-level cultivation techniques.
After all, to GM, no matter how precious and rare these things were, they were just a bunch of data.
So what would happen in the future?
w.a.n.g Ling himself was also extremely curious.
He sat cross-legged in the general’s mansion and watched his health bar continuously rise, his heart still calm.
He had already completed one small target.
His final target was to stack up to ten small targets.
For now, w.a.n.g Ling still needed time.
On the other side, Lotus Sun and Old Huang were busy at the Wolong recruitment office. After the battle with Xiong Wu, new players kept applying to join, and the whole of floating cloud town instantly became famous.
To put it bluntly, the Wolong Agreement was a mutual development agreement. Joining floating cloud town meant that in the future, you could obtain corresponding city resources that matched your city contribution.
It could be considered an investment.
And once you joined, it also meant that the Wolong people wouldn’t be able to voluntarily withdraw from Wolong recruitment for the next 30 days. They would need to apply and get Lotus Sun’s approval.
Strictly speaking, this was a little similar to recruiting employees.
Lotus Sun and Old Huang were now equivalent to HR, and w.a.n.g Ling hadn’t expected that young people who loved to show off so much in this day and age would actually fight for a job one day.
As it turned out, young people nowadays were actually quite ambitious. As long as you gave them the perfect treatment, why worry about them not working hard enough?
..
On the other side, the continuous news from floating cloud town also made Mr. Hidden Fox, who was not far away, feel an itch in his heart. He had wanted to go and take a look for a long time, and he had always had such an obsession in his heart.
But now, Mr. Hidden Fox felt that it was not the time yet. At the beginning of the game, during the rookie stage, some people came for levels, some came for experience, and Mr. Hidden Fox’s goal was very clear, he was there to acc.u.mulate wealth.
It sounded a little vulgar, but Mr. Hidden Fox felt that for people like him who did not know how to play games, the only way out was to earn money and hire people to bring him along.
Fortunately, his knowledge was profound enough.
Under the cover of the hired motorcade, Mr. Hidden Fox successfully refined the spiritual plants and mushrooms he collected in the wild into pills and sold them in the nearby towns.
High-quality hemostatic medicine was a necessity in the eyes of any player. It was useful for survival in the wild and for exiting dungeons. However, hemostatic medicine was expensive. The ones that the town pharmacies specialized in were not cheap. Each one cost more than 20 taels of silver, this was simply adding insult to injury for many players.
As for Mr. Hidden Fox, he just had to set up his stall next to the pharmacies and sell medicinal pills with the same effect. However, the price was only 50% of the pharmacies’exclusive supply
Most importantly, the medicine in the pharmacy could not be taken continuously. The effect of the second treatment would be reduced by half.
Many players who pa.s.sed by Mr. Hidden Fox’s stall were surprised to find that the medicine in Mr. Hidden Fox’s stall did not have such a limit!
“Brother, did you refine the medicine yourself?”
The players who pa.s.sed by were shocked. “How many pills do you have on you?”
“I only have 200 pills at the moment.”
“Ten taels for one pill, I’ll buy them all!”
The player said generously.
But Mr. Hidden Fox was not such a stupid person.
He was a seller of medicine, but he did not work for others. Other than selling his own pills, he also had to strictly control the circulation of the market.
Otherwise, if a large amount of cheap good medicine appeared in the hands of one person, who knew if that person would increase the price and sell it somewhere else?
Thus, after Mr. Hidden Fox smiled, he mysteriously raised two fingers and said, “Each person is limited to two pills.”
That’s right..
Although Mr. Hidden Fox thought that hunger marketing was very shameless, sometimes this trick could have a miraculous effect.
When he said this, the corner of the mouth of the player in front of him twitched. He stared at Mr. Hidden Fox’s stall and felt an itch in his heart. He really wanted to buy all of it.
Unfortunately, he limited his purchases. In the end, he only took out two pills of silver.
Just as Mr. Hidden Fox had thought, he never had to worry about selling cheap and good medicine.
The level 3 wild blood recovery pills that he had refined in the wild were in short supply. They directly brought him 2,000 taels of silver.
The net income was more than 1,980 taels of silver.
In that case, as long as he continued to repeat the process and hire better teams or players, he could go deep into dangerous areas and collect better spiritual plants to refine higher-level pills.
In that case, he might be able to purchase this pharmacy in front of him in the near future.
