The two spent a peaceful night together, like any ordinary person, but upon waking, they both found themselves in their own separate states.
Liu Zhaodi returned to the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce to handle the Chaoyuan Pharmaceutical matter, while Jiang Yuan continued to search for potential sellers on the black market network.
On this day, Chaoyuan Pharmaceutical was officially established. It was a private enterprise completely separated from the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce, and Liu Zhaodi held 100% control of it. When Chaoyuan Pharmaceutical appeared in various safe zones, it became incredibly popular, but it also attracted a lot of trouble. Therefore, Liu Zhaodi could only travel back and forth between the various safe zones and could not pay attention to Jiang Yuan.
As for Jiang Yuan, although he had gotten used to Liu Zhaodi's assistance during this period, he had always preferred to work alone and was quite immersed in it.
Specific sellers with insights are constantly appearing on the black market network, but each one is asking for extremely high prices. Even when using top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals as the unit, they are often asking for tens or hundreds of thousands of them. Keep in mind that this translates to over 100 million low-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, which is an extremely terrifying number.
"You like to stir things up here, huh? Then I can't blame you for disrupting the market!"
Jiang Yuan took out an Insight, and after it was certified by the trading center, he began to list it for sale. His selling conditions did not include Holy Spirit Crystals or Holy Spirit Marrow, but required a liter of Spring of Life in exchange.
That's right, just a liter of the Fountain of Life.
The scarcity of the Fountain of Life is self-evident. Precisely because of its scarcity, the valuation of it by ordinary people will fluctuate due to their lack of understanding. Then, a contrasting price is used to lower the psychological price of those with insight. This is his purpose this time.
Jiang Yuan did not sell Insight by directly lowering the price, as that would be too direct and would make it obvious that he was the mastermind behind it. Therefore, he chose to use a roundabout way to highlight the value of Insight.
The transaction information had been posted for several hours and attracted more than 10,000 visitors, but no one was willing to produce a single liter of the Fountain of Life. Just then, an anonymous account came online; this was the black market key that Liu Zhaodi had left for herself.
"Transaction successful, a 1% transaction fee will be deducted."
Once the transaction was completed, the onlookers sighed and left. The value of the insight was self-evident, so every time an insight appeared on the black market, they would gather around to see the final transaction price.
The final handling fee for this Insight is 500 Top-Grade Holy Spirit Crystals, which means that the original price of this Insight is only 50,000 Top-Grade Holy Spirit Crystals, which is considered a relatively reasonable price among various Insights.
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled on the sale of the Insight, someone posted a thread online on the black market titled "A Life of Sudden Wealth." The thread described how the poster casually picked up a bottle of Fountain of Life and ended up exchanging it for a priceless Insight. With the Insight, he had entered a comfortable life, so he emphasized in the post his eagerness to sell the Insight and publicly appealed to scalpers, offering them a generous reward if they would buy his Insight at the inflated price.
The news of the resale of the insights also attracted a lot of attention. However, since many insights are in the hands of many scalpers, they felt extremely unbalanced after seeing that this buyer had exchanged a bottle of something of unknown value for an insight.
"This guy is really lucky; he just happens to have the Fountain of Life that he understands what the seller needs!" one of the scalpers complained to his companion.
"No need to be envious. Isn't this guy in a hurry to sell? We're all here to drive down his price and see if he can still be smiling like this now!" one of the scalpers, who seemed quite imposing, sneered.
They practically monopolized the entire bargain-hunting market, and now someone is picking up bargains right under their noses. How can these professional bargain hunters tolerate this? They have to regain their dignity.
“That’s right, as long as we don’t take it, no one else has the guts to take over the Insight!” another person chimed in.
The added value of an item depends on market conditions, and while the item has been driven to such a high price, this is merely a marketing tactic.
However, the mysterious person who posted the thread then started causing trouble. First, he called out to the suspected scalpers in the comments section, demanding that they buy back the insights at the quoted price, but all of them refused.
Although scalpers keep inflating the price of Insight, that price is what they use to lure outsiders into buying from them, not the price they actually want to pay. So when someone actively approaches them wanting to buy Insight at a price that doesn't match the market price, nobody is happy about it. After all, they are all actively looking for buyers for Insight, and nobody wants to buy another Insight and continue hoarding it at a high price.
The post was constantly updated, containing accusations against multiple accounts and expressing his dissatisfaction at not being able to sell at a high price. People online, always eager for drama, kept revealing inside information.
"You idiot, they're just scalpers, they're just trying to fool people with too much money. What you're doing is like trying to sell water to a water seller, but your water is more expensive than theirs."
"The zombie opened the poster's brain, then left disappointed!"
"The original poster is delusional and probably a complete novice. Case closed."
"..."
The constant chatting quickly made the post go viral, and the poster holding the Insight device started lowering the price continuously while arrogantly calling on scalpers to "buy it".
However, just as things were becoming unclear, the second insight was put up for sale by an anonymous user. This time, it was priced at 30,000 top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, but the transaction had to be done in person.
With the entry of the second person, the situation began to develop in a strange way. The two sides kept pushing the price down until it dropped to eight thousand top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals, at which point the second anonymous seller of Insights disappeared.
