Chapter 97 Prelude to the Auction
Inside the big pit, the land opened up to both sides, and Mo Lan and others rose up from a big hole.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but be scared when I saw the scene above with my own eyes.
At this time, the students were resurrected one after another, and Ding Jin walked out of the forest with lingering fear.
"No one survived?"
Ding Jin shook his head.
"No, they are all dead. Luckily they haven't died recently. They just lost some experience points, but they haven't been weakened. It doesn't have much impact."
"how about you?"
"Me? I need to spend some time getting rid of my weakness."
Mo Lan nodded when he heard this. Ding Jin had died once before in order to clear experience points, which resulted in not enough experience points being deducted this time. After his resurrection, some of his attribute values were sealed, and he fell into a weak state.
“I didn’t expect there to be a green dragon deep in this mountain range. No wonder there are so few adventurers in places where monsters are densely populated.
Who would dare to come at this level? I doubt whether Red Maple City can defeat Green Dragon. "
After Ding Jin finished speaking, Mo Lan also expressed his agreement.
"The elemental fluctuations were too great, and attracted the green dragon's attention, so it attacked... By the way, how did it attack? I didn't see it from down there."
"A breath of dragon."
"Just a breath of dragon?!"
Mo Lan was shocked.
"Yes, a breath of dragon's breath, which spread out in a trumpet shape as it sprayed downwards, directly hitting an area as big as a basketball court.
Trees, bushes, and even soil within the area were also corroded.
Then the dragon's breath hit the ground, splashing and spreading around, and that's how I died."
"Dragon's Breath."
Mo Lan murmured and shook his head.
“No, I must find a way to increase my mental strength, the most primitive way is too slow.
If you keep going at this rate, it will take a long time for you to become an elite fourth-ring mage."
Mo Lan spoke in a voice that only he could hear.
But he understood that this was extremely difficult, and he had been searching for a way to cultivate his spiritual power.
Various novels describe mages using meditation to increase their mental strength.
But he tried various Taoist, Buddhist, and even yogic meditation methods, but unfortunately none of them worked.
Apart from this, I have tried every possible way of using my mental power, but apart from making myself tired, there was no result.
Finding or creating a way to cultivate spiritual power is much more difficult than expected.
But this is imperative. If he doesn't create a way to cultivate mental power, Mo Lan can only struggle at the elite level at best, and he will never have the ability to push a mage to the master level in his lifetime.
"What do we do now?"
Ding Jin's words interrupted Mo Lan's thoughts. He muttered after pondering for a moment.
"What to do? Do something big!"
"Um?"
"Remember the ogre tribe we met before?"
Ding Jin's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.
"There are nearly ten professional ogres and a two-headed ogre priest there. Isn't this too risky?"
"Fifty mages, as long as the design is good, we are not without hope!"
…
Just when Mo Lan and others were attacked by the green dragon, there was no peace in Red Maple City either.
"What? What did you say? Earl Red Maple gave in? Decided to cooperate with other nobles to clean up the players' property?
This... this is impossible, right?"
"Yes, I also think it is unlikely. Wasn't Earl Red Maple's attitude very firm before?"
“What’s the point of being so resolute? Does Earl Red Maple dare to betray his class?
Red Maple City is indeed the territory of Earl Red Maple. He is the strongest and no noble can be his match.
But now he is facing the entire aristocratic class of Red Maple City, including all the nobles including his son.
Do you think that Earl Red Maple can fight against all the nobles of Red Maple City alone?"
“What you said makes sense, but…but I always feel that it’s a bit too sudden.
What do you think Earl Red Maple and his men are going to do?"
"Humph, what else can I do? Haven't you seen enough cases from other places?
Heavy taxes and levies, nobles usurpation, heavy taxes and levies, nobles usurpation, they make the laws, they have the sole right of interpretation, can you still resist?"
This conversation began to spread on the streets of Red Maple City. No one knew the source of the news, but suddenly it was everywhere. Almost everyone had heard about it and was discussing it. They were talking about it and were hesitating whether to leave or not.
However, at this moment, something shocking happened.
Almost all the guilds of a decent size in Hongfeng City retreated at the same time. At this time, they suddenly discovered that the stocks of goods in the shops of these guilds had become insufficient at some point, and if they bought a little more, they had to go out to get more goods.
This phenomenon immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the strings in their hearts suddenly broke.
"These big guilds are gone, so how can the news be false?!"
This thought filled their minds, and at this moment someone suddenly remembered something.
"Oops, castle auction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the trading platform, but when he saw the price of copper nanos on it, his eyes widened .
"0.981, 0.977, 0.891!"
The price of copper nas fell like an avalanche.
When these people saw this scene, they immediately looked at the copper Nas that they had purchased in advance. They planned to take advantage of the castle auction and the price increase of copper Nas to make a fortune.
But now it seems that there will be an 80% chance of something unexpected happening at the castle auction. Then what will the price of this copper Nas be...
Once this thought emerged, I couldn't stop it. Seeing the prices in the market falling, I felt like I was cutting my flesh. I was losing money every minute and every second, and my worth was plummeting every minute and every second.
Finally, their mentality collapsed and they hurriedly put the copper nas on the market at a lower price.
When an avalanche begins, no snowflake is innocent.
The decline in copper nas prices did not stop, but instead intensified as they sold, and their fear grew rapidly.
The price of copper nas fell all the way to 0.57, and countless people were wailing. However, at this moment, the piled-up sell orders in the market suddenly decreased sharply.
From the bottom price to the high price, many people were confused, stunned, and then furious when seeing this scene.
"Who! Which bastard is taking action right now, flipping the table so violently and leaving no chance for others to survive? What the hell is this guild!
Damn, I acted too late. If I had known, I would have smashed it first!"
Countless people shouted with red faces and thick necks.
Zou Peng from Jiuding Chamber of Commerce showed a hint of smile. In front of him was an attribute panel which showed - transaction successful!
Just now, he invested one million and took all the lowest-priced copper nas sell orders.
Zou Peng does not plan to participate in the auction, so he naturally does not need to wait for the price to hit the bottom. He just needs to make some money and is not greedy.
After Zou Peng's order was completed, the falling price of copper nas stagnated for just a moment, and the next moment the sell orders in the market disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Faced with Zou Peng's table-turning behavior, the people from these guilds dared not wait any longer and started buying frantically at the fastest speed, for fear of falling behind.
The price of copper nas rose rapidly, and the person who had just sold copper nas was stunned.
