86: Making money like crazy
He activated the Lottery System and added a large number of beautiful female NPCs specifically to enhance the players' perception of the Merchant Guild.
Coupled with the excellent geographical location, players naturally prioritized selling their spoils here after obtaining them.
The current results were excellent. For just 1 copper coin, one could draw 10,000 gold coins. Combined with the numerous beautiful women, even those who had nothing to do came to join the fun. As long as there was popularity, business would follow.
"Xiao Chen, those people you mentioned have been waiting for a long time. They urgently need to see you."
Luge pushed open the office door and, seeing that Xiao Xing had no intention of leaving yet, couldn't help but remind him.
So many people wanted to purchase property deeds. This involved huge sums of money, making Luge quite anxious.
He didn't know why Xiao Xing was so calm. Did he not like money? If it were him, he would have sold them to those people long ago.
In fact, Xiao Xing wasn't doing nothing. He waited until the Merchant Guild had accumulated a certain amount of capital before putting it up for sale at the Trading Pavilion.
This allowed those people to buy gold coins, giving them the funds to bid on Attribute Treasure, which would drive the price of the treasures even higher.
If they could purchase a certain quantity of both types of Attribute Treasure, their all-attributes would increase by +200, elevating their strength to a terrifying Realm.
Therefore, the price of each attribute treasure was inflated to over 1 million gold coins—an extremely terrifying amount.
Even at this price, people were still increasing their bids, showing no intention of stopping.
For those rich individuals, spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to gain +200 to all attributes was considered cheap.
Keep in mind that for every level gained, a character only receives 10 attribute points.
This +200 to all attributes was equivalent to an extra 1,000 attribute points. One could imagine how powerful that was.
If Xiao Xing hadn't activated his Golden Finger, even in the Late Stage of the game, there might not have been so many Attribute Treasure available for players.
Xiao Xing did not go out. He wanted the Attribute Treasure to sell out first. Since it was only 8 PM, there was no rush at all.
If Xiao Xing were one of those Super Rich Players, he would be willing to spend 10 billion to buy the +200 all-Attribute Treasure.
This was not just an increase in strength within the game, but also an increase in the real world. No matter how much money was spent, it was worth it.
Precisely because it could enhance real-world strength, the Attribute Treasure were the most precious items, bar none.
Time quickly reached 11 PM, but he still hadn't left.
Due to his continuous sales of gold coins, his account balance had reached a terrifying 5.1 trillion dragon coins.
Most of these gold coins were earned from the Attribute Treasure.
The equipment had now sold out, and only the Attribute Treasure on the Ninth Floor had about 7 million remaining unsold.
The bidding for each of those Attribute Treasure exceeded 1 million gold coins. Those wealthy individuals were determined to buy 110 of them, no matter the cost.
Perhaps those Super Rich Player magnates had already purchased 110, causing the sales of Attribute Treasure to slow down.
Xiao Xing constantly monitored the bidding status. The highest bid for a single piece reached 2 million gold coins, so he changed the price to 2 million per piece, allowing for direct purchase.
The remaining ones would temporarily be sold at this price, and the price would be adjusted upwards as the game progressed further.
Xiao Xing had no intention of selling the treasures that granted +200 to all attributes to ordinary players. He was not a philanthropist, and even if he were, he wouldn't be that generous.
The reason he was earning so much money was also purposeful.
Soon, a large number of monsters would appear in the real world. Without a sufficiently strong city, it would be difficult to defend.
He needed massive funds to build the most fortified stronghold in the real world.
Only then could he resist the End War of later generations and protect more people simultaneously.
Seeing that the Attribute Treasure had stabilized, Xiao Xing finally took out all the property deeds for the Guild magnates to bid on.
He had already set a reserve price for each property deed. Even if the buyer managed to purchase it at the reserve price, he would still earn double the gold coins.
He didn't look any further, greeted everyone, and logged off.
After logging off and preparing a rich, nutritious late-night snack, Xiao Xing called Mu Yaner out to eat.
This girl wasn't feeling well today, yet she played the game for so long. Only after Xiao Xing carried her out did she contentedly start eating the snack.
The next morning, Xiao Xing planned to go out after breakfast.
Yesterday, Xingtian had already sent over Jue Xiu's information. Given his ability, he naturally investigated everything clearly.
Today, he was going to kill Jue Xiu. Since he had said it, it was not a joke; the person must die.
But before he had taken a few steps, his phone rang.
Xiao Xing looked and saw it was an unknown number.
[Hello, Mr. Xiao. I am a staff member from the official website of the Continent of Gods and Demons. Your game pod has been delivered to the community entrance. The security guard won't let us in, so could you please explain the situation to him?]
As soon as the call connected, a gentle voice came through from the other end.
Why did this voice sound a little familiar?
Xiao Xing thought for a moment and then remembered: wasn't this the voice of the Customer Service Manager?
"Sister Su, please wait a moment. I'll come down and meet you now."
Xiao Xing didn't think much of it. Since he spent 75 billion online, it wasn't surprising that a manager personally delivered it.
After all, this item was extremely valuable and couldn't afford any mistakes.
If you had 10 billion deposited in a regular bank, the bank president would come over daily to wash your feet and give you a massage, let alone just a manager.
Cheng Lingsu looked at the hung-up phone and couldn't help but purse her delicate lips.
This client was something else, constantly calling her "Sister Su," making it sound like they were very familiar.
Yesterday, she flew from Kyoto to Nancheng and waited for the people from the main company to arrive.
Yesterday afternoon, the game pod airfreighted from overseas arrived in Nancheng.
She successfully coordinated with the staff and explained her requirements.
Therefore, they delivered the game pod this morning.
Xiao Xing quickly arrived at the community entrance. He greeted Cheng Lingsu and confirmed that he was the customer.
Quite a few people had come. In the front were three top-tier sedans, followed by a large cargo truck, and behind that were two black SUVs.
Xiao Xing secretly investigated and found that everyone in the vehicles, except for Cheng Lingsu, was equipped with weapons such as pistols, submachine guns, and high-explosive grenades.
What surprised Xiao Xing was that all the weapons they carried were firearms with top-level lethality.
Based on his knowledge, these guns could easily shoot through a civilian SUV.
They actually had such high authority to bring these weapons into Dragon Country.
Xiao Xing took out a pack of Diamond Furongwang cigarettes for the old man, greeted him, and began guiding the group into the community.
"Mr. Xiao Xing, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After arranging for the staff to move the items upstairs, Cheng Lingsu approached Xiao Xing to try and get closer to him.
She was somewhat surprised that Xiao Xing, who looked to be about the same age as her, had enough money to buy a game pod.
