Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 595: The Explosively Popular Crescent Moon Equipment

“Master, I don’t understand. Why not directly upload them for sale in the Merit Points Mall? That way, the prices would be higher, and the payment would come back faster.”

After purchasing the materials, Li Chun couldn’t help but ask when he came before Su Yuan to hand them over.

Su Yuan casually tossed the materials into the Heaven-Earth Cauldron placed inside the Chaos Furnace, instructing it to automatically forge the standard-issue weapons in batches.

He shook his head. “Currently, we have just entered the alliance. It’s not suitable to be too conspicuous. Once we list them in the mall, we’ll immediately draw everyone’s attention.”

Li Chun’s expression showed understanding, but he still said, “I feel that such cheap standard-issue weapons will still cause a sensation.”

“At most, that would only cause a stir around this one city,” Su Yuan shook his head. “You just focus on managing things well.”

“As you command.” Li Chun understood.

Stall Area.

Zheng Bowen was already swamped with work.

One Crescent Moon equipment piece after another was handed out, and what he received in return was a full two hundred million Chaos Jade pieces.

Beside him, Zheng Li was also smiling, unable to contain her joy.

The Crescent Moon equipment was a hit!

Not long after they were set out, they had attracted the attention of many Dominators.

The price of two hundred million Chaos Jade pieces could buy a slightly inferior standard-issue weapon. For many newcomers, it could be said the cost-performance ratio was maxed out.

The news here spread rapidly, and immediately many people came to purchase.

In just half a day, all the Crescent Moon equipment was sold out.

Even the Seven Stars equipment was sold until only five pieces remained!

Zheng Bowen was in a good mood, but he keenly noticed something abnormal. Several hidden gazes had been fixed on them the whole time.

Zheng Bowen’s heart tightened. They had been targeted.

In just this short while, the amount of Chaos Jade on him had reached over fifty billion. This sum of payment was already enough to arouse covetous thoughts.

“Xiao Li, we’re not selling the rest!” Zheng Bowen transmitted his voice.

“What’s wrong, brother?” Zheng Li immediately realized something was wrong. “Have we been targeted?”

“Mhm. Money moves people’s hearts. We won’t be affected within the city, but once we leave, that’s not certain,” Zheng Bowen said gravely.

“What should we do then?” Zheng Li asked nervously.

“Seize the time to restock. The Seven Stars Artifacting Shop is right there, also selling. The news won’t stay hidden for long. Let’s make a profit while the news hasn’t fully spread.”

Zheng Bowen and Zheng Li packed up their stall and left the Stall Area.

Several hidden gazes followed the two as they moved.

However, the two entered one shop after another, and by changing their forms, they shook off the trackers.

The two hurriedly returned to the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop.

“Oh? Back so soon, you two?” Li Chun said in surprise.

“Here is the payment!”

Zheng Bowen waved his hand grandly, taking out all the payment from the previous bulk purchase—a total of 52.5 billion Chaos Jade pieces!

Li Chun was taken aback. “Sold out that fast?”

“Yes, your standard-issue weapons are indeed easy to sell!”

Zheng Bowen immediately said, “For the second batch, I wish to wholesale 500 pieces of Crescent Moon standard-issue equipment and one hundred pieces of Seven Stars weapons!”

Li Chun said in astonishment, “That many?”

“Don’t worry, we can definitely sell them all!” Zheng Bowen said immediately.

Li Chun looked at him deeply. “Fellow Daoist Zheng should act within your means!”

“I will!”

Zheng Bowen signed another transaction agreement with the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop.

The two hurriedly departed.

Not long after, the two appeared again in the stall area, once more setting out the weapons.

“Hey, that boss is back!”

“Hurry! Standard-issue equipment for two hundred million Chaos Jade. You can make a profit just by buying and reselling!”

“Good stuff. Although the quality is slightly inferior, the difference isn’t huge, but the price has dropped by a third!”

A group of Dominators who had heard the news specifically rushed to the Stall Area. Seeing Zheng Bowen, they immediately went up to purchase.

In just half an hour, the weapons Zheng Bowen had just wholesaled were completely sold out.

Even the higher-priced Seven Stars equipment was snatched up by people.

Just as Zheng Bowen was packing up to leave.

Someone stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Fellow Daoist Zheng Bowen, could we speak in private?”

Zheng Bowen frowned. He hadn’t even said his name just now, and he was just an ordinary Dominator. Yet, his information had been obtained so quickly.

“What is it? Speak directly!”

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zheng, could you inform me of the source of your goods? The price is negotiable.”

Zheng Bowen frowned, glanced around again, and could vaguely sense several other watching gazes.

“Ten billion, and I’ll sell you this channel information!” Zheng Bowen transmitted.

“Oh?”

This person was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Zheng Bowen to agree directly to revealing the information, which caught him off guard.

“Is ten billion too much? Eighty billion at most!”

He habitually bargained.

“Deal!” Zheng Bowen immediately said.

This immediately made that person feel a bit uncomfortable. He wasn’t afraid of Zheng Bowen haggling; he was afraid the other party would agree without a word of negotiation.

But since things had come to this, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Anyway, this could be reimbursed.

Thus, Zheng Bowen sold a piece of information to this person.

Seeing this, the other several cultivators secretly observing also immediately approached, wanting to obtain the information.

Zheng Bowen also sold the information without hesitation.

He sold another five copies in one go.

The actions of these six people immediately gave more people ideas.

One by one, they secretly transmitted to Zheng Bowen.

To take care of his previous big clients, Zheng Bowen waited a moment before continuing to sell the information.

Zheng Bowen accepted all comers, and the price for selling the information dropped again and again. Finally, when the selling price was only ten million Chaos Jade left, he leisurely packed up his things and then went into hiding.

He remotely settled the payment with Li Chun, then hid in a temporary rented room in the city, not daring to go out.

This wave, he had made a huge profit. He felt the money he earned now was simply too much, a bit beyond his grasp.

Li Li asked nervously, “Brother, how much did we earn this time?”

“Selling equipment, earned 19 billion. Selling information, earned over 50 billion. A total of 70 billion!” Zheng Bowen also took a deep breath.

Li Li gasped sharply. “Brother, with this much wealth, we’ve probably been firmly targeted! In others’ eyes, we have even more money on us.”

Zheng Bowen also said gravely, “I have two ideas. One is to return to the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop and ask Master Seven Stars to forge a life-preserving Chaos Dominator Artifact for us. The second is we directly pledge allegiance to the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop, join under that master’s command, becoming guards or minor stewards. I think that master is sufficient to help us escape this dangerous situation.”

Hearing this, Zheng Li fell into contemplation. “These two ideas are good. I see that shop is short-handed. Us joining would indeed be like sending charcoal in snowy weather. But we also don’t know if that master is worth following.”

“Just based on him daring to extend us credit for tens of billions worth of equipment,” Zheng Bowen said calmly, “he is worth following.”
