"Useless! All of you are useless!"
The group leader of the scalper group was furious. He didn't expect that before the enemy had even fully deployed their forces, their own group had already given up.
This time, the insights that appeared in the market must have been released by some of them. After all, in such a large environment, if the insights were sold off too late, the price would definitely plummet. Nobody wants to be the last one to buy when the bubble bursts.
"Group owner, don't be angry. We didn't sell any insights. It must be some people with ulterior motives deliberately stirring up trouble," someone said.
"I'm warning you again, stay calm. Staying calm is the most important thing right now. Don't make any more mistakes!" the group leader warned again.
Little did the group admin know that when he announced in the group that some members were selling their insights privately, the price bubble for those insights could no longer be sustained. Once one person started selling, another would inevitably follow; these profit-driven individuals would never gamble their own interests on a market collapse.
On the fourth day, the number of insights on the black market network had reached no less than ten, not counting the five insights that Jiang Yuan had already acquired.
He and Liu Zhaodi anonymously listed their insights on the trading center but did not sell them. Instead, they chose to settle the transaction by paying a 1% handling fee. As for completing offline transactions with these people, Liu Zhaodi helped them out. She took time out of her busy schedule to bring several experts to the transactions. When the other party saw that Liu Zhaodi and her group were several Divine Realm experts, they naturally did not play any tricks. Some transactions were also completed through the mutual teleportation array built into the black market network. Because of the supervision of the trading center, the cash was exchanged for the goods and there were no problems.
Jiang Yuan continued to steadily accumulate Insights. He knew that he couldn't harvest them too quickly, otherwise the other party would become alert and stop selling Insights. At that time, the price of Insights would return to tens of thousands of top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, or even hundreds of thousands.
On the fifth, sixth, and even the seventh day, the number of insights on the black market network had reached sixty. He also had twenty insights that he had bought on the black market. If he could acquire all of these insights, the Heavenly Eye could be reproduced.
"It's almost time to close the net, otherwise, once the scalper group leader realizes what's going on, the recovery of the Insight Group might be affected!" In addition to being busy with Chaoyuan Pharmaceutical these past few days, Liu Zhaodi has also been closely monitoring Jiang Yuan's actions, and she has been constantly reminding Jiang Yuan that delays could lead to unforeseen changes.
"I'm afraid they'll become suspicious once we close the net. After all, if we take away all the intelligence at once, anyone would be suspicious!" Jiang Yuan expressed his concern.
“But you’re not the only buyer now. Others have also noticed something’s wrong with the Insight Market, so it’s very likely that someone will beat you to it. You need to act swiftly. Use the trading center to buy as many Insights as possible. As for those who prefer offline transactions, once you’ve identified who has the Insights, if soft tactics don’t work, then hard tactics will do. The Liu family has quite a few Divine Realm experts, so they can keep things under control!” Liu Zhaodi had been wanting to make her move for a while. Anyway, there weren’t many good people in the black market, so she wouldn’t feel guilty even if she robbed them.
"Okay, I'll go ask them out!"
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement. Liu Zhaodi's analysis was correct. Although the number of insights that have surfaced now is sufficient, there will inevitably be other buyers. If any unexpected incidents occur, the reappearance of the Heavenly Eye will be delayed again.
"Jiang Yuan, if you don't have enough money, there's always the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce," Liu Zhaodi said meaningfully.
Jiang Yuan nodded, then re-entered the trading center to exchange for insights.
Because of his previous meddling, the price of Insight has been hovering at a low point these past few days, with some selling for as much as 15,000 and others for as little as 8,000 top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals. Jiang Yuan didn't care too much about the price fluctuations, as he already had 5 million top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals. If he hadn't considered that 74 Insights would cost a lot of top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, he probably would have bought them at the actual price long ago.
With the number of transactions continuously increasing, Jiang Yuan already had fifty Insights in his hands just from the teleportation array. There were also a few people who wanted to trade offline, and Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate to ask Liu Zhaodi to run the transactions for him.
As the number of insights steadily approached five hundred, Jiang Yuan sensed an atmosphere of impending doom. As expected, almost simultaneously, all information about selling insights was withdrawn. Even the sellers who were communicating with him cut off the transaction after a few words and then withdrew their sales information.
At that moment, the word "insight" seemed to vanish from the entire black market network.
Jiang Yuan logged out of the black market network and then sent a telepathic message to Liu Zhaodi: "How's it going on your end?"
Before the message could be delivered, Liu Zhaodi called him back via video call.
"How are things on your end?" Liu Zhaodi asked immediately.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "We can't buy them anymore. Those people who hoarded Insights must have realized something. There are no Insights for sale on the market now!"
"By the way, how's it going on your end? Is everything alright?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Liu Zhaodi said with a troubled expression, "I'm sorry, I think I messed it up this time."
"What's it to you? Don't take all the blame for yourself!" Jiang Yuan said casually.
“Didn’t you just tell me to go to Haicheng in Wuzhou to find the person who did the offline transaction? It turns out that the guy is from the Haicheng Mercenary Group. They recognized that it was the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce collecting insights, so they notified his teammates immediately. Although I captured him, the news that the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is collecting insights has probably already spread in the black market.” Liu Zhaodi said with a gloomy face.
"It's alright, it's not a big problem, don't blame yourself," Jiang Yuan comforted him.
