Chapter 105 Business Opportunities Are Everywhere
As the top five competition was going to take place in the afternoon, Phantom returned to Yanhuang City although he was a little unhappy.
The praise of light, which was originally a waste, turned out to be an eye of insight that could see through hidden things. How could Ma Yingjie not be happy? Therefore, Ma Yingjie took the teleportation fee back to Yanhuang City very happily without any hesitation.
It was still early, and the two of them looked at the vast sea of people, with nothing to do. Counting the little girls on the street reminded Ma Hao of a song from his childhood, which was very similar to their current situation. The song was: "Under the bridge in front of the door, a group of ducks (chickens?) swam by. Come on, come on and count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..."
The singing is still ringing in our ears, but those teenagers have grown up and have started working in all kinds of professions, ranging from high-level officials to local thugs, from ordinary workers to gangsters.
As time passed, many players gathered in the arena again. The contestants did not show up, but Lu Hao saw a player dressed in alternative clothes, selling paper products like a newsboy in the old society. He shouted loudly while selling, "Extra, Extra, detailed information of the latest top ten players, from various skills and equipment to daily eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, what underwear they like to wear, whether they like to sleep naked, all in this booklet. Players who are interested, hurry up and buy it, while stocks last, it's definitely a collector's edition."
"Is this true?" The two looked at each other. Phantom said unnaturally, obviously not believing it.
"Just buy a copy and you'll know." Ma Yingjie hit the nail on the head. In a good mood, Ma Yingjie decided to take advantage of the free time before the game to see the strength of his future opponent. Whether it was for understanding the opponent or for gossip, he had to buy this booklet.
"How much is one serving?" The vendor was surrounded by players. Ma Yingjie finally squeezed in. He looked at the many players watching but only a few actually paid for the food. He couldn't help but ask the vendor.
"One hundred gold coins, no bargaining," the vendor said firmly, flipping through the booklet and then gradually tempting him, "This is the inside story of the top ten contestants. It's not expensive at all to sell it at this price. If you don't buy it, you'll cry if you bet on the wrong banker."
"Okay, I'll get one." Ma Yingjie gritted his teeth and decided to spend money to buy one. After all, in this situation, knowing more about the opponent would be of great benefit to his successful promotion.
While the players next to him looked at him like idiots, Ma Yingjie ignored them and bought the expensive information.
……
The two of them came to an alley under the reluctant gazes of the crowd. Phantom couldn't wait to urge Ma Yingjie to quickly set up the information sharing to understand the opponent's strength.
"You can read it if you want. I bought it for 100 gold coins. You have to pay 50 gold coins." Ma Yingjie said with wisdom in his eyes, hiding the booklet behind him.
"Fuck, you're so cruel. I have to stop watching." Phantom was a stingy person. When he saw Ma Yingjie wanted to charge him, he firmly resisted and even turned his back and pretended to leave.
"Okay, if you don't want to read it, I'll read it myself. Hey, is the phantom real or fake? Your deputy is the Bloody Notes?" Ma Hao turned to the chapter on the phantom and said in surprise with a lingering tone.
"No." Phantom denied it immediately, but he was shocked in his heart. This information was really powerful. It could even find out his secondary equipment.
"Oh, is it true that you like to sleep naked, have a slight cranial nerve, are very indifferent to women, and swipe zombies in the zombie crypt every afternoon?"
"Damn it, which bastard can check so accurately? Hurry up and bring it to me." Phantom turned around gracefully and said to Ma Yingjie anxiously.
"Okay, give me the gold coins." Ma Yingjie stretched out his hand and rubbed his hands.
"Okay, you're ruthless." Phantom rolled his eyes at Ma Yingjie and took out fifty gold coins to trade with Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie then contentedly set the booklet to exhibition mode. Suddenly, his information came into Phantom's sight, making him feel extremely annoyed.
Player Name: Phantom
Occupation: Illusionist (hidden)
Rating: 42
Skills: Temporary, Freeze, Immobilize, Absolute Barrier, Summon Snow Lion, Magic Shield, Illusion
Equipment: Staff of the Falling Moon's Lament (dark gold one-handed weapon), Bloody Notes gold, Crown of the Inquisitor gold, Robes of Purity gold (－－!), and all other equipment are green or above.
According to the information he dug up around him, the man likes to sleep naked and wear pink underwear. He has no bad habits except smoking and drinking. He doesn't play mahjong, but likes to play chess, although he often loses miserably. He has a slight cranial nerve and has been dumped by women many times in real life, which seriously hurt his young mind. Therefore, he is very indifferent to women. In the game, he often likes to go to the zombie dungeon alone to kill zombies. His operation level is advanced.
"Is it accurate?" Ma Yingjie glanced at the phantom without comment, paying attention to his expression.
"Damn it, I want to say it's not accurate, but this is the truth. Damn it, they even know that I like to sleep naked, this is horrible." Phantom said a little madly: "By the way, let's see if yours is accurate."
"The written parts are almost there, there are still some parts that are not written." Ma Yingjie glanced at his own information, and strongly condemned the player who leaked the information in his heart: "The paparazzi can't be so professional, they are almost as good as national agents."
Player Name: Shadow
Occupation: Necromancer (hidden)
Second-tier mercenary
Rating: 41
Skills: Dark Sky, Light of Death, Dark Judgment, Summon Black Knight, Summon Skeleton Warrior, Weakness, Slowness, Bone Shield
Equipment: Gold Devil May Cry Staff, Robe of Malice?, Dark Gold Phantom Wind Gloves. According to rumors (not sure), this person has the Ring of the Forsaken, which ranks first on the Accessories List, and the Nether Dragon, which ranks first on the Fantasy Beast List. Other equipment is all green and above.
According to the information we have found around him, he was the first deputy leader of the Shadow Mercenary Group. Except for a few male members, all members of the Shadow Mercenary Group are female players. They are not very dependent on equipment, have high-level control skills, and have a temper like a raging fire? He is missing all day and is a long-term missing person in the game.
"How accurate is it?" Phantom looked at Ma Yingjie and asked. Ma Yingjie shook his head and nodded, causing Phantom to collapse. Ma Yingjie spat and said, "It's a bit vague, but what I said is true."
"So do you really have the artifact ring and the Nether Dragon?" Phantom asked when he heard that Ma Yingjie did not deny it.
"Well... the weather is very good today." Ma Yingjie said with a smile.
After looking at the information of several other people, although others didn't know what equipment the Withered Bauhinia had, Lu Hao knew almost everything. The person who wrote this booklet knew more than he did, which made Lu Hao feel very troubled.
After quickly reading it, Ma Yingjie came to a crowded place not far from the vendor selling pamphlets on the street, found a high place and stood there to shout: "The most detailed information of the latest top ten players, one gold coin for each reading, if you want to know, come and line up quickly."
With a "clatter", a group of people gathered around Ma Yingjie. The players who felt powerless against the unscrupulous vendors charging a sky-high price of one hundred gold coins for each tall book all crowded over after hearing Ma Yingjie's shouting.
Some people don't have a hundred gold coins, some people are reluctant to spend so much for such gossip, but one gold coin is a small amount of money to everyone, so no one cares.
Ma Yingjie seized on this psychology of the players and charged accordingly for his booklet. Not to mention the benefits were quite considerable, and he recovered his costs in a short while. In the end, he even had a profit after returning Phantom's fifty gold coins to him.
The players next to him also followed suit and bought a few books and rented them according to Lu Hao's method, which made the black-hearted merchants roll their eyes in anger and look at Lu Hao as if they wanted to eat him. In fact, it's no wonder. These merchants have worked hard to collect information. After being messed up by Lu Hao, let alone making a profit, they can't even cover the cost.
"Brother, I see that you are a down-to-earth person. I don't have much time either, so I'll sell you this booklet for a low price. How about ten gold coins? That's very cheap, right? They want a hundred gold coins over there." Seeing that there was not much time left before the start of the game, Ma Yingjie grabbed a player who wanted to "rent" the booklet and tempted him, "You can charge people to read it on a per-view basis like I do. It's only ten gold coins, and you can earn it back quickly."
When the guy heard what Ma Yingjie said, he immediately felt his eyes light up and bought it immediately. Ma Yingjie, who was about to fall asleep, pulled the phantom next to him and said, "Let's go. The top ten competition is about to start."
"Oh." Phantom rubbed his forehead and opened his sleepy eyes, which were full of golden stars: "How much did you earn?"
"If you don't count the fifty gold coins I returned to you, the net profit is more than 200 gold coins." Ma Yingjie answered casually after taking a look at the number of gold coins he had.
"Damn, business opportunities are indeed everywhere." The phantom tiger's body shook, and the pure robe suddenly straightened up.
Several players participating in the competition in the arena are already eager to try, this competition will determine whether they can break out of the Chinese area and go to the world, so everyone seems very confident.
Everyone has the inspiration to win glory for the country, but this time only the top five in the Chinese region can participate in the top-level full-server competition, so not everyone has the opportunity. This will be the first encounter with foreign players in Bloodcry, and it is also what every passionate player is looking forward to.
