The auction house information was refreshing like a waterfall, and many other players noticed this as well!

"Someone bought a Tier 1 weapon for 1000 gold coins."

Long Qing watched helplessly as the 150 weapons suddenly dwindled to 149, knowing he'd have to make a decision quickly. With a population of 1.4 billion in the Dragon Kingdom, while the number of players who could afford 1000 gold coins wasn't large, it wasn't small either; friends could pool their resources and buy them. The key was that if each person bought one, all 150 people would have bought them all!

So now he either has to grit his teeth and accept it, or he can only watch helplessly as this batch of weapons and equipment, which is extremely important to him, falls into the hands of others!

The market reacts very quickly. Just like stock prices, it fluctuates up and down; if you don't buy, plenty of others will!

Long Qing, as the guild leader and key figure, gritted his teeth and said, "All guild members, send me money!!"

Zhou Zhuo (Rank B Dark Walker): "???"

Si Wuli (Rank A Vampire Baron): "Why do you need the money?"

Ye Lin (A-level Battle Dancer): "What's wrong, Guild Master? Are you in trouble?"

The elite team leaders and guild elders under his command all transferred all their gold coins to Long Qing without much questioning.

Long Qing saw that he only had a little over 80,000 gold coins in his hand. Adding his own 100,000, he only had 180,000 gold coins.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Send over another 20,000 resources, and I'll repay you double by the end of the month!" He had to take this batch of equipment, even if it meant borrowing it. Otherwise, if he lost his territory and suffered a defeat against the centaur elites, the consequences would be even worse.

Right now, it's just a financial pain.

If he can't buy this batch of equipment, he might be out of a game.

"Okay, I've sent it. 2000 units of wood."

“1500 stones, 500 food… Boss, don’t renege on your debt! Damn it.” Zhou Zhuo said in the guild channel.

Resources are so precious in the early stages! Seeing how united the guild members are, it would be a lie to say Long Qing wasn't moved. They're still in the early stages of resource gathering, and everyone is short of individual resources and even has to help their guild leader collect more. That's the preciousness of friendship between men.

Having gathered 200,000 resources, Long Qing began snapping up 100 sets of armor and 100 sets of weapons from the auction house.

180,000 gold coins and 20,000 resources are gone.

Long Qing felt empty all over, but looking at the 100 sets of weapons that had been traded into his backpack, he felt more confident about his battle plan against the centaurs!

...

"Which heartless guy is selling it for such an exorbitant price? There are plenty of Tier 1 weapons later on, why is he selling it for 1000 gold coins?"

"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"

"You swindler!! Sixth Brother!"

"Aren't you curious how he got so much armor and weapons? How many monsters did this guy kill?!"

"Damn it, I can't even gather a complete set of weapons and equipment right now, how did he manage to get 150 complete sets?! That's insane!"

...

Su Yue, who was being called a profiteer by the auction house players, suddenly looked surprised.

Auction House Message: Your 100 sets of armor and weapons have been sold, yielding a profit of 180,000 gold coins and 20,000 wood and food resources.

"Wow, a tycoon? Holy crap, he bought a hundred sets at once?"

Su Yue originally thought he would sell them little by little.

As a result, more than half of them disappeared at once.

Seeing the 180,000 gold coins that had arrived in his account, Su Yue couldn't stop smiling.

"Currently, the exchange rate for gold coins to food is 1:5. There's an abundance of food, and it can be obtained at any time, making it the resource that players sell the most. The more you sell, the lower the price on the auction house market becomes. To continue acquiring food later on, the exchange rate will gradually increase."

"Now 100 gold coins can buy 500 units of food, so I need to stockpile my 180,000 gold coins."

This involves principles of economics.

Scarcity drives up prices. Everyone's selling grain, lowering prices as others do, causing grain prices to plummet. Gold coins, on the other hand, have immense purchasing power. Su Yue is well aware that buying one unit of grain at a 1:5 ratio later on is practically impossible, and in special circumstances, 200 gold coins might not even buy 10 units of grain.

Su Yue does what he wants to do. The more food he hoards now, the more at ease he will be in dealing with future crises.

"Buy all 200,000 gold coins in grain."

Su Yue began buying up large quantities of grain sold by players at the auction house.

“1,000,000 units of grain (one million)”.

Su Yue looked at his food reserves, a full million, and his face lit up with a smile... If he were to sell them in the future, he could easily get 20 million gold coins.

"With grain, we have confidence. How can we feed our troops without grain?"

The remaining 50 sets of armor, protective gear, and weapons were also sold.

Another 100,000 gold coins have arrived in my account.

Su Yue looked at the auction house.

In the world of Turin, most lord players trade resources and territory resources; trading of troops is extremely rare.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Su Yue's mind: "I'm a ninth-tier lord, plus a god-level territory? Should I sell farmers? Sell cave dwellers and first-tier troops? This doesn't seem like a bad way to make money, does it?"

Troops are very expensive, and auction houses are practically magical.

The transaction channels are guaranteed by the system, so Su Yue doesn't need to worry about it.

"However, I don't need to become a human trafficker right now, and I'm not short of resources. Let's wait and see."

He can afford to feed the farmers, especially with these 1 million units of grain—enough to feed them for several years. Of course, as the territory expands, the third-tier territory will absorb more refugees at a faster rate; it all depends on the specific circumstances.

"You have purchased 1,000 units of timber."

"You have purchased 2000 units of stone."

"You have purchased 100 units of crystal."

"You have purchased 100 units of sulfur."

...

Because the sellers in the market are all different people, and everyone's resources are limited, Su Yue can only slowly buy up goods little by little!

As time passed, Su Yue saw that all 150 sets of weapons and armor he owned had been sold. This operation not only improved the overall strength of the Dragon Kingdom players but also collected resources, making it a win-win situation. Compared to the huge market of 1.4 billion players, his purchase of one million units of grain had virtually no impact on price fluctuations.

"Next, we need to continue developing our territory. Europa has the equipment now, so let's try to get the tavern up and running tomorrow."

Others might spend many days, even half a month or a month, building a tavern, not to mention the resources they might gather. But Su Yue has Jin Xiuer, a god-level architect, so the construction speed is ridiculously fast.

This is also related to the number of his migrant workers and farmers. Can you handle more than 1,000 farmers working together?

Currently, a player's territory has a population cap of 100. What about Su Yue?!

A god-tier territory, starting with 1500 population.

Su Yue slowly opened his eyes from a semi-sleep state.

"?"

His expression was one of shock. In his arms, the beautiful 19-year-old archangel, with her warm and soft body, was sleeping fully clothed.

Her warm and gentle figure, like white jade, nestled in his arms.

She actually fell asleep in his arms!

"This...this! This!!"

Before Su Yue transmigrated, he was a complete naive puppy who had never even held a girl's hand. Now, the incredibly beautiful and stunningly gorgeous angel Europa lay in his arms, and a faint, youthful fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The fragrance was a blend of the Buddha's image and a captivating body scent, leaving one feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Hmm, what is that?"

Europa's sleeping eyelids twitched slightly. This was the first time Su Yue had been so close to a beautiful 19-year-old girl, and at that moment, his whole body felt as if it had been petrified. He was completely captivated.

The 19-year-old angel girl has very rounded shoulders.

With his right arm slightly bent, the skin gleamed softly in the night, and Su Yue's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

These shoulders are so delicate, narrow, and smooth!

Europa's fair, jade-like hand rested on Su Yue's shoulder.

"Master...Master."

She murmured to herself. Her breathing was even, and it was clear she was sleeping soundly.

Su Yue's jaw dropped. He wondered, "Didn't I arrange for her to be in a different room? How did she end up in my arms?"
