Before disappearing, the anonymous person left a message: "Already have a buyer, do not disturb."
Eight thousand top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals—even those watching the spectacle could guess the final price, because the anonymous user stopped the auction when the price reached eight thousand top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals.
Another user selling insights left another comment below the post and posted several screenshots.
The screenshot shows information from several people who want to buy his insights, along with accompanying text.
"Shameless scalpers, always trying to buy low and sell high, constantly driving down the price of my Insight in order to maximize their profits. I'd rather let Insight rot in my hands than sell it to you bunch of bastards."
"And that guy who was just arguing with me about prices, I seriously suspect you're a shill in the scalper group, deliberately driving down my price to get me to sell and investigate. But you didn't expect that, did you? I'm not selling!"
"Brothers, even if I lose my Insight today, I'm going to sue them. Don't let these scalpers take advantage of us. The real price of Insight isn't that outrageous. Eight thousand is already very generous to them. I want to see when the market bubble of Insight bursts!"
Jiang Yuan continued to update the post while simultaneously accusing Liu Zhaodi's account of being a scalper. Only in this way could he get the onlookers emotionally involved and jointly resist the false bubble of Insight.
That wasn't enough. Jiang Yuan put up a new spot at the trading center. This time, the price for Insight was 24,000, but with the condition that no one was allowed to buy it for more than the price of Insight.
However, after Jiang Yuan's post, ordinary people really dared not buy the Insight item anymore, for fear that they would end up with it rotting in their hands, which was no small amount.
When Jiang Yuan registered, the people in the scalper group got anxious.
"What's going on? Are there any other scalpers outside?" Several scalpers had become aware of the danger. If others had a source of goods, then hoarding and controlling prices would be tantamount to courting disaster.
"Group owner, quickly check the trading center to see if anyone has placed two trades using the same insight. I suspect someone is deliberately disrupting the market!"
Soon, a rather authoritative man came online in the group and typed: "No, the insights for the listed transactions have been entered into the database and have generated their own numbers."
"Oh no, the third Insight has been listed on the trading center!"
The scalper community has exploded.
"The third, and another, insight," the group leader said again.
"Hurry up and buy Insight. We absolutely cannot allow Insight to be sold cheaply on a large scale, otherwise the Insight we hold will inevitably lose its price advantage next time," someone belatedly said.
"It's no use. Their transaction is very private and comes with conditions that prevent us from participating. If we want to join, we have to delete the posts on the black market network. If we do that, wouldn't that confirm our suspicion that we deliberately manipulated prices?" the group admin said, emphasizing each word.
"What should we do then? What if outsiders sell Insight as a cheap commodity? We'll be stuck with our expensive purchases!" someone worried. What keeps Insight's price so high is its scarcity. If Insight really becomes commonplace, no one would be willing to spend tens of thousands of top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals to buy it.
"Stay calm. As long as we stay calm, their offensive will crumble on its own. At that time, the prices we've identified will also rise over time." The group leader shared his insights, believing that the greatest victory in a price war is to remain stable and avoid collapse.
"good!"
The people in the scalper group answered in unison, but whether they were truly in agreement was another matter entirely.
The current price level appears to be a bubble, and selling off all holdings is the fastest way to cut losses. Otherwise, if prices continue to fall, they could lose everything.
On the first day, there was nothing on the black market network. After several people announced the completion of their transactions, the market seemed to return to calm, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.
The next day, the price of Insight in the market actually rebounded. This time, one Insight reached 10,000 top-grade Holy Spirit Stones. Immediately, Jiang Yuan listed two more Insights and priced them at 9,999.
As for whether anyone will suspect that this is a fake transaction, the probability is very low, because the trading center will charge a 1% handling fee on each transaction. Even if it is a fake transaction, you cannot escape this expensive handling fee.
However, on the third day, the first insight that did not belong to Jiang Yuan appeared on the black market network, priced at 10,200 top-grade Holy Spirit Stones.
"The fish has finally taken the bait!"
Hiding behind the AI, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile. He knew that those who possessed the Insight were getting restless; they couldn't just watch it rot in their hands.
When the first insight from a scalper is put up for trading, the entire market seems to have a tacit understanding, and more insights keep being put up on the trading platform.
