Chapter 400 Gift
That evening, Mai Sui, who didn't want to eat, posted in the chat area about Meng Qingyin's intention in purchasing a large amount of demonic energy resources.
Most players were relieved. Of course, a small number of players thought this was Mengmeng's excuse, but that was only a minority, and it was quickly overshadowed by other players' messages.
The message posted by "Eating anything is never a loss" did indeed incite some players. Relying on Meng Qingyin's large-scale purchase of demonic energy resources, they recklessly raised prices, hoping to make a fortune from this opportunity.
There are quite a few players like this, after all, human nature is greedy.
However, many players still sell those magical resources at the original price. Their thinking is simple: they don't expect to make a lot of money from these things anyway, so they might as well do good deeds.
Offending a powerful figure for a tiny bit of benefit is a very irrational act.
Meng Qingyin went to the trading hall and bought those demonic energy supplies at the original price.
As for those players who took the opportunity to inflate prices, she blocked them one by one.
Then, she messaged Chen Leying: "Do you have any ideas for new products for the factory?"
The factory recently converted its production line to produce respirators.
However, since the introduction of the demonized leeches, players no longer need breathing masks.
The production line for the respirators stopped at that time and has not been running since.
She and Chen Leying didn't have any specific ideas at the time, but now she knows what to produce.
Chen Leying: "I don't have any good ideas. It seems you have some plans?"
She knew Meng Qingyin well; she wouldn't have asked that question if she didn't have something on her mind.
Mengmeng: "Hmm, I want to use it to produce spider silk cloaks."
The Spider Silk Cloak in the Magic Tower Shop costs 10,000 gold coins, which is unaffordable for most players.
In reality, the Spider Silk Cloak in the Magic Tower Shop doesn't have any special effects; it only adds +1 to all attributes, and its price is significantly overpriced.
If the factory can mass-produce it, she can use the [Spider Silk Cloak] as a "gift" to lure players into selling her demonic resources.
Many players will likely be willing to sell their demonic resources to her, and in order to get the "gifts," everyone will be more motivated to farm the tower.
Although producing spider silk cloaks consumes some pure demonic energy, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
As for those who maliciously inflate prices, she has already blocked them and will not give them the chance to enjoy the "free gifts".
Chen Leying: "Would Sister Feng be willing to tell you how to forge the spider silk cloak?"
Mengmeng: "I can buy it with money. As for the spider silk cloaks that are produced, I have other uses for them, so I won't put them on the market. You won't get any profit from them. As compensation, I don't want the profit from the sanitary napkins. I'll give it all to you."
These spider silk cloaks are for her use, but the factory belongs to both her and Chen Leying.
We can't let Chen Leying lose profits, so we have to give her the profits from sanitary napkins.
Chen Leying didn't stand on ceremony with her: "Okay."
With the consent of her partner Chen Leying, Meng Qingyin began working on the spider silk cloak.
She first discussed the forging method of the spider silk cloak with Qin Feng.
Qin Feng was easy to talk to and agreed to tell her the forging method without asking for her money.
However, Qin Feng added, "The spider silk cloak I forged for you last time has special effects. The forging process for this kind is quite complicated and requires a lot of pure demonic energy. I don't think your factory needs to forge this kind. An ordinary spider silk cloak is enough."
Meng Qingyin thought so too; after all, it was a "free gift," so costs had to be cut.
To accomplish great things with a small amount of pure demonic energy, one must maximize the benefits.
Qin Feng immediately took out paper and pen and wrote down the forging method of the spider silk cloak.
Meng Qingyin took the paper to the factory and started the production line.
To produce the Spider Silk Cloak, you need pure demonic energy as a raw material, which can be purchased from the materials store at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately, the pure demonic energy purchased from the materials warehouse can only be used for the production of goods in the factory. Otherwise, Meng Qingyin wouldn't have needed to go through the trouble of purchasing large quantities; she could have simply bought it directly from the raw materials warehouse.
She roughly calculated that the cost of a spider silk cloak was only 5 silver coins.
The fact that the Magic Tower Shop sells it for 10,000 gold coins is practically robbery.
This shows that the prices of goods in the Magic Tower Shop are not based on their actual value, but rather on a combination of factors such as scarcity and purpose.
Moreover, scarcity definitely plays a significant role.
Meng Qingyin could easily afford the production cost of 5 silver coins.
The new production line went into operation, and one by one, spider silk cloaks were manufactured.
Meng Qingyin picked up one to examine it, and sure enough, it was the most basic one, with no special effects, only a +1 to all attributes.
For a "free gift", its value is quite high.
After all, it's not easy for players to improve their attributes, especially since the Spider Silk Cloak gives +1 to all attributes, which is equivalent to adding 3 attribute points at once.
The price-performance ratio is off the charts.
Meng Qingyin sent a message in the chat area: "[Spider Silk Cloak] Starting today, players who sell me 500 pieces of demonic energy resources will receive a free Spider Silk Cloak. The quantity of free gifts is limited, first come first served. I look forward to everyone's transactions."
Huang Xiaowen: "Spider silk cloak? Does it have the same attributes as the spider silk cloak sold in the Magic Tower Shop?"
Jin Baijin: "I compared them, and they're the same! That means the Spider Silk Cloak, which costs 10,000 gold coins in the Magic Tower Shop, is just a free gift for Boss Mengmeng?!"
Luo Mengyin: "Really, you'll get the Spider Silk Cloak if I sell you 500 pieces of demonic energy resources? You're not kidding, are you, boss?"
Mengmeng: "I'm serious, but this event won't last forever. It's first-come, first-served. Of course, it would be best if you traded 500 pieces of demonic energy resources to me in one go, otherwise there will be too many players trading, which will waste the time of both parties."
Star Frost Passing V: "Are those 500 pieces of demonic energy resources a free gift, or do you have to pay for them?"
Mengmeng: "I will buy the demonic energy supplies at the market price. I will not accept anything that exceeds the market price."
Jiu Jiu wanted to get rich quick: "So, I not only made money from demonic energy resources, but also got a spider silk cloak worth 10,000 gold coins for free? When does it get light? I'm going to grind the tower!"
Ningzaizai: "If we buy at the market price, then those who raised prices this afternoon will be eliminated, right?"
Tang Yuyu: "Not necessarily, they can change the price at any time."
Mengmeng: "No, I blocked some players. They were the ones who were driving up prices this afternoon."
Why won't they let me pass? "Haha, well done! They're losing sight of the bigger picture."
Yunyan He Chengyu: "I have 3 admission tickets, and I need 4 teammates. Let's speedrun through level 2 tomorrow!"
Speedrun Magic Tower Level 2, add me: "Come on, only the strong, those who are just coasting should not come looking for attention."
