"Who set the rules for this cosmic trading system? They're definitely trying to plunder the universe's rare resources at low prices and teleport them for free. I knew it! Why would those super-civilizations and super-powerful beings go to such lengths to create a cosmic trading system and do something so unprofitable..."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as he thought to himself.

However, it's a matter of one party being willing to give and the other being willing to receive; that's how business works.

If you can't change it, you can only accept it.

"What? The third drop of Golden Essence Liquid can only enhance 3 billion Spirit Crystals?"

Soon, Lin Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.

He thought that for every drop of Golden Essence he sold, the next drop of Golden Essence would increase his spiritual crystals by 5 billion. That was bad enough, but it got even worse.

“Following this pattern, after I sell this drop of Golden Source Liquid, the next time I sell it, I will likely only be able to increase the number of Spirit Crystals by two billion…” Lin Yun laughed angrily.

Are they really treating him like a sucker?

"I estimate that the price increase pattern is also related to the fact that these Golden Essence Liquids are being sold by the same owner of a universe trading system. Is this the official speculation that an owner of a universe trading system suddenly obtained a large number of the same rare and precious materials, making them very easy to sell? If so, this is really ruthlessly exploiting someone!" Lin Yun said thoughtfully.

After thinking it over, Lin Yun decided not to sell a third drop of Golden Source Liquid.

He decided to wait and observe this price increase pattern.

Anyway, he doesn't really need this spiritual essence right now.

"bite!"

Just as Lin Yun was thinking this, someone suddenly contacted him.

"Friend, do you still have any Golden Essence Liquid? If so, I'm willing to buy it at a high price!"

The owner of a cosmic trading system sent this message.

Based on the clues, Lin Yun discovered that the owner of this cosmic trading system was one of the customers who had just purchased his Golden Essence Liquid.

"bite!"

Almost immediately, another similar message arrived, this time from the buyer of the first drop of Golden Essence Liquid.

"The price I just sold it for is already the highest price according to the rules of the universe trading system. Can you offer a higher price?" Lin Yun replied in surprise when he saw the other party ask this.

“We can trade in real life. You can deliver the Golden Essence to where I am, or I can go to your location to pick it up. Alternatively, we can agree on a place to trade. As for the price, the more Golden Essence you have, the higher the price I can offer. In short, I'll make sure you're satisfied,” a customer said.

Another customer gave a similar reply.

"You can do it like that?" Lin Yun was speechless.

After careful consideration, this approach is quite feasible.

Currently, the price of Gold Essence on the Cosmic Trading System is significantly low.

A price increase in the future is almost certain.

The other party buys a large quantity of Golden Essence at a premium, and then sells it when the price of Golden Essence is even higher, making a huge profit.

The more they buy now, the more they earn.

This is very similar to the stock market on Earth.

Perhaps, in the future, they will be the ones to set the price themselves.

"How about I sell them some Golden Essence Liquid at a high price now, let them raise the price of Golden Essence Liquid, and then I'll ride in a sedan chair?" Lin Yun pondered.

However, Lin Yun quickly dismissed the idea, shaking his head and saying, "No, these people are quite wealthy and powerful. Their lifespans are often tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Making them wait for hundreds or thousands of years is child's play. Who knows when they'll raise the price of the Golden Source Liquid? What if it turns out that I'm the one riding in their sedan chair, and they're the ones riding in mine? That would be a loss."

With that in mind, Lin Yun rejected the two clients' proposals.

Next, two more clients contacted Lin Yun, but after Lin Yun refused them, no one else contacted him.

Lin Yun estimated that this was largely due to the rules of the Cosmic Trading System that protected instant traders, ensuring that those who were not present at the time, except for the buyers, did not know the contact information of the Cosmic Trading System owner who was selling the items.

However, it's hard to say whether this protection is genuine or if the authorities have other intentions.

Now, Lin Yun's resentment towards the Cosmic Trading System is growing stronger.

Three days later, Lin Yun placed the third drop of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

This time, the price that can be increased is five billion Spirit Crystals.

This also confirms that a longer interval does indeed allow for a price increase.

Furthermore, it's not advisable to have large gaps at the beginning, causing a sudden and significant increase in the overall price before engaging in large-scale trading.

Because the intervals between price increases are shorter, the overall price increase may not be much of a bargain.

It's not necessarily more cost-effective to sell it every now and then.

A week later, Lin Yun placed the fourth drop of Golden Essence on the Cosmic Trading System.

The price that can be increased this time is still five billion spiritual crystals.

Ten days later, Lin Yun placed the fifth drop of Golden Source Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

The price that can be increased this time is also five billion spiritual crystals.

At this moment, Lin Yun realized that the Cosmic Trading System's decision not to disclose certain rules was indeed very clever.

It makes many owners of the cosmic trading system unaware of the rules. After acquiring a large quantity of a certain rare and precious material, they can't wait and can only sell it in a short time.

During this period, many owners of the cosmic trading system also inquired about the Golden Source Liquid from Lin Yun.

It's nothing more than a suggestion to buy in reality.

The recent price increase of Jinyuan Liquid has even made Lin Yun consider selling it to these people.

Because the price of the Golden Essence he is currently selling on the Cosmic Trading System is only one drop of over 11.2 trillion Spirit Crystals.

The highest price those people sold it for has reached over 1.3 trillion drops of spiritual crystals.

If it weren't for the fact that he possessed a large quantity of Golden Source Liquid, and that Little Jin could continuously refine Golden Source Liquid, he would have actually done so.

Unfortunately, these people are unaware of his current situation.

It's better for him to keep the Golden Essence and sell it later when the price is higher than to let those people hold onto it and sell it later when the price is higher.

Selling to those people would involve a real-world transaction, which is troublesome; it's more convenient to do it now.

Lin Yun refused them all.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yun sold a total of twenty drops of Golden Source Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

Some intervals were two or three days, some were more than ten days, some could increase the price by two or three billion spirit crystals, and some could increase the price by ten billion spirit crystals. Lin Yun discovered that a longer interval did not necessarily mean a larger price increase.

On one occasion, Lin Yun did not sell Golden Source Liquid for more than ten days, and as a result, he could only raise the price by 3 billion Spirit Crystals.

Later, three days later, Lin Yun was able to raise the price by seven billion spirit crystals.

This left Lin Yun completely confused. He didn't understand the specific rules of the Cosmic Trading System, and he felt even more that the rules of the Cosmic Trading System were a trap.

At first, Lin Yun thought that the price of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System had reached its limit.

Fortunately, a subsequent transaction, coupled with Lin Yun's analysis of the Golden Source Liquid, made him realize that the current price of the Golden Source Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System did not reflect its true value.

Currently, the price of Golden Essence on the Cosmic Trading System has risen to 1.213 trillion Spirit Crystals.

"Another three months have passed, and there's still no news of Mingdu. Perhaps he has already left this star system..."

Lin Yun looked up, his gaze piercing through the layers of partitions to the starry sky outside, and said softly.
