Chapter 689: Chapter 533: Rush Buying, Bread Speculation

As the mermaid’s formula was orally delivered, the sound of the mermaid’s song faded away into the distance.

——Sea God’s Personal Guard Tip: Connection with the mermaid has been interrupted.

Great! Luckily, I’m no ordinary person, and I had already made the windmill for the sugarcane machine in advance, so at most I just have to see what equipment is needed for the smoky tea; probably just a pot, which is available in the bakery kitchen.

Chun excitedly announced the news: "Dear, the mermaid has sent us a new formula, immediately arrange the personnel to develop it beyond expectations!"

Aileen smiled and said: "Alright, we have people for roasting tobacco. Xina, you and the five others are responsible for developing roasted tobacco! Luna, you and the seven others are responsible for developing rum! Reina, you and the six others are responsible for developing black tea!"

"Understood, mistress!"

Chun was still learning their names for the first time. They’re all with ’na’ suffix, makes me think they’re dancers.

It’s similar to Moore’s list, all with ’li’ suffix like Taoli, Dai Li, Mili, Kerry...

In short, the formula shared and distributed, frying tea and tobacco in full swing, sugarcane windmill in motion.

Chun recalled that last time before departing, Aileen had given him a few cigarettes, but he never had the chance to use them. Now it seems Chun is very confident in the tobacco’s progress.

As for himself, about all he can do is AFK to provide the entire team with Grandmaster-level Module Combination. Might as well catch up on some sleep from this all-nighter. After sleeping a few hours until midnight, those static electric fields should be turned off by then? The dancers should be asleep too, that’s when he can move into action.

So he gave Aileen a heads-up: "Dear, I’m going to rest, handle things outside for me."

Aileen said: "Dear, you’ve worked hard, have a good rest..."

Heh heh, as long as you handle things outside, I’m not afraid of you coming to do FBl with me again...

With the launch of new bread from Night Rose Tavern, Ma Yinglong immediately arranged for people to rush to purchase.

Unfortunately, NPCs have already reserved it, so they could only organize players to line up for it instead. Finally, a player got in line, then bad news came: "Brother Long, the tavern has set a purchase limit for players, one player can only buy one loaf per day!"

Ma Yinglong was taken aback: "Then double the price, find a way to purchase from the NPCs!"

Brother Tao laughed: "Hey, actually buying bread isn’t very expensive, the key is to stockpile and transport it through portals, most people don’t have that kind of portal money."

Cyan Peak laughed: "Brother Long, don’t worry, our Silverlight Village has that kind of transportation cost, it’s on our village."

Ma Yinglong sighed: "Then you guys have to detour from Silver City, that costs an additional 5000!"

Cyan Peak laughed: "We’re using actual coins for transactions, we can trade and raise funds."

Ma Yinglong sighed: "In the end, we still have to break free from in-game bank transfer restrictions, we can only move deeper into the continent, villages there don’t have banks, all are transactions in real coins."

Chang Liang laughed: "Brother Long, the jungle mine in the south is about to be settled, our super squad is about to return, so let’s attack Baka’s Iron Flame Village together, delve deeper into the continent!"

Ma Yinglong said seriously: "Exactly! Brother Chun’s Broken Bottle Gang’s Great God 100-man team already set off a day earlier, let’s see how their scouting goes."

Brother Tao became interested: "Beauty Zhou, speaking of Brother Chun, he went into the Bronze City dance hall, what’s up with that?"

Zhou Qing laughed: "Don’t ask, if you do, it’s a national security operation, I don’t know either."

Brother Tao laughed: "Got it, got it, it’s officially sanctioned to play Cyber Roast Chicken!"

A report from a subordinate in Black Iron City: "Brother Long, Baka in Black Iron City has made a move, they saw us purchasing bread at high prices and started looking for NPCs to purchase too!"

Ma Yinglong was shocked: "Does Baka know the purpose of the bread?"

Brother Tao was bewildered: "Maybe they’re just trying to stir trouble?"

Zhou Qing said: "Don’t panic, considering the tavern’s mechanism, it clearly distinguishes between players and NPCs meaning players’ purchasing might follow the highest bidder rule, pushing item prices high. Spread news like Gem City’s painting speculation, using speculation mode to drive up the price of this bread!"

Cyan Peak was stunned: "Sister Zhou, even if it can be speculated up, but this formula was given by that Ten Lords Mermaid, speculating it high wouldn’t just benefit them?"

Zhou Qing said: "The formula definitely wasn’t given by the Ten Lords, as long as it doesn’t benefit the Ten Lords, it’s acceptable."

The chat group fell silent.

Finally, Brother Tao laughed: "Since Beauty Zhou is so certain, then Brother Long?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ma Yinglong laughed heartily: "Alright! Little Baka wants to fight? Then let’s push it up!"

Just then, Silver City announced a city announcement — all city warrior citizens take note, monster siege activity is starting.

All the big shots were astonished: "What’s going on, Silver City has monster siege? It just came without any warning?"

Chang Liang was shocked: "Holy shit! We’re still on our way back to the city, if this monster siege blocks us for two, three days, this batch of goods might be in trouble!"

Brother Tao was also shocked: "Too timely and too fast, it feels like this batch of monsters is specifically targeting our batch of goods!"

Ma Yinglong said seriously: "Highly likely! If it’s the same scale as the previous three times in Black Iron City — should the super squad consider staying away?"

All the big shots agreed: "Makes sense!"

Ma Yinglong coldly laughed: "I said, it’s rare to be this smooth these days, the Ten Lords finally can’t take it!"

Divine Presence Corps command center.

Although Peeping Immortal was immediately chased away by a single gaze from Sariel, the mainland district players lining up to reserve bread still raised Peeping Immortal’s high alertness.

Especially upon discovering these players started purchasing at high prices from NPCs, Peeping also mobilized personnel to buy, observing China District players’ reactions.

Result: intense reaction!

Peeping was convinced, immediately reported to Young Master: "Young Master, the new type of baguette the mainland district is buying is actually a non-red name special weapon, specifically against Gem City’s Ten Lords’ special units."

Young Master was stunned: "Confirm?"

Peeping was very sure: "Confirmed! In recent days, Raphael flooded the noble’s farm outside the city, being interrogated, feeling very unhappy, and seeing China District players all over speculating on antiques and paintings, specifically dispatching special units to attack them wherever they see, this meant China District players can’t survive in the city, so..."

Young Master understood: "So, we can also acquire this weapon, not only making China District’s players have no resistance in Silver City, but also allowing street fights in Black Iron City against China District players?"

Peeping said: "Exactly! The key is, I have a good relationship with the boss lady, I can persuade her to raise the selling price, enhancing my favor with her benefitting us!"

Young Master said seriously: "Great! I see the Royal Family’s self-funded road and tree cutting for mining has spent quite a bit these days, actually no profit, then it’s time to bleed them, we’ll follow and speculate — let Curry come in as well and take over, we two families dealing with their one family!"

Peeping was pleased: "Young Master is wise!"
