Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Extravagant Profits!
Luke clearly understood what Xu You meant, so Xu You once again came to the underground black market from the secret passage in the kitchen of the Terror Tavern. After more than a month, this place was still so deserted. It seemed that not many people had discovered this good place.

The black market was located underground in Recovery City. It was dark all year round and could only rely on torches and magic lamps to maintain its light. Hence, the entire underground city of the black market was a kind of fiery red. It looked very mysterious.

Walking on the spacious street, Xu You looked around, hoping to find traces of the players. Unfortunately, besides him, there wasn’t a single player. They were all NPCs.

“Why aren’t there any players? Strange.” Xu You muttered to himself. Normally, there were already quite a few players who had reached LV30. The condition to enter this black market was LV30. As long as they reached LV30, they should be able to enter after paying 10 gold coins. However, there were still no players here. Could it be that the players could not find a way to enter this place? That Luke guy won’t tell anyone?

However, this had nothing to do with Xu You. He came here to trade with NPCs, not players. If there were no players, then there would be no players.

Xu You wasn’t in a hurry to find Droca. Instead, he walked around some shops on the black market to see if there were anything cheap and useful to sell. However, Taobao wasn’t that easy. Xu You visited more than ten shops in a row and didn’t have any “treasures” that met his requirements. The reason was because he was too low-level and couldn’t use many things.

After wandering in the black market for about an hour, Xu You finally got down to business. He once again arrived at the small square in the corner of the underground city. This was the paradise of stall merchants, and there were many NPC sellers and buyers.

Xu You walked around the plaza and found that Droca did not set up a stall here. He went to the mailbox on the west side of the plaza and wrote a letter saying, “Underground Black Market Angel Square, Recovery City.”

The letter was signed by the Whiteboard Prince and addressed to Yuri Droca. After sending the letter, Xu You returned to the entrance of the plaza and waited. The Angel Plaza mentioned in the letter was a small plaza that was spread all over the floor.

Not long after, the figure of the elf Droca appeared in Xu You’s field of vision. Seeing this, Xu You laughed. No one would have thought that the communication between the player and the NPC would actually be done through an email address.

“Brother Whiteboard, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I really look forward to your arrival every day!” Droca was still very enthusiastic. This was also the reason why Xu You was willing to make friends with him. If it was those uncles and aunts in the shop who had bad attitudes, he would not serve them.

“I’ve been busy increasing my strength lately. I can only do bigger business if I have the strength. Brother De, don’t you think so?” Xu You replied with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s right. As soon as I received your letter, I rushed over without stopping. I’m sure Brother Whiteboard has business to take care of me, right?” Droca seemed to be in a hurry.

“I didn’t expect Brother De to arrive here so quickly. It seems that Brother De is not far from here.” Xu You, however, wasn’t in a hurry and was still talking about something unrelated to Droca.

“Well, I’ll tell you the truth, brother, My business hasn’t been so good lately, No one buys materials like gold ore, iron ore, or magic stones, I’m so anxious. Now that I’ve accumulated a warehouse, I can only rent a large warehouse not far from the black market to store these materials. If I can’t sell them out, I won’t be able to turn my money around. Brother Wuyou, I didn’t know you were coming this time … “Droca was really anxious. She even told Xu You about this.

Hearing this, Xu You probed, “I am indeed here to buy some materials. Brother Dao, how many things have you hoarded?”

“500 sets of gold ores, 1200 sets of iron ores, 600 magic stones, and some level 20 tin ores.” Droca replied.

“So many!” Xu You was shocked. It seemed that Droca really couldn’t sell these materials. However, wasn’t his chance to make a fortune here? Xu You was secretly excited.

“That’s right, too much. I can’t even afford the labor right now. Brother Wuyou, can you help me digest these materials?” Droca placed her hopes on Xu You. After all, Xu You had bought quite a few gold ores and magic stones last time.

“If I buy it, how much will Brother De sell it to me?” Xu You said with a smile.

‘”How much was it last time? How much is it this time? I won’t earn any money from you, brother. Gold ores cost 2 gold coins, magic stones cost 10 gold coins, and magic stones cost 20 gold coins. If you buy iron ores, how about 80 silver coins? I’m sure you don’t want tin ores anymore, brother.” Droca said expectantly.

‘”Hey, Brother De, you’re not being honest this time, are you? When is it now? How can these materials be worth so much money? We outsiders have already reached a higher level. We can dig up these ores ourselves. Who would spend so much money to buy them?” Xu You had blown all the cowhide into the sky. The truth was indeed as he said. The average level of players was high, but the average level of side-line players had also increased. Now was the time to demand a large amount of these materials, and not everyone was willing to go out and mine in the wilderness.

Therefore, Xu You was cheating on Droca. He bet that Droca hadn’t sold materials to other players before and only traded with NPCs. Therefore, he didn’t know about the players. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hoarded so many goods. As for why NPCs didn’t need these materials, Xu You didn’t know.

“This, this, how could this be?” Droca seemed to understand the reason why her materials could not be sold.

“What’s the matter?” Xu You couldn’t help but ask when he saw Droca’s dejected expression.

‘”Sigh, I’m out of date. I shouldn’t have come to this underground city to do business, nor should I have dug up these materials. Actually, I know very well that our aborigines don’t need these low-grade materials anymore. Even if we buy them, we won’t come here to buy them.” Droca said dejectedly.

“Then where do you natives usually go to buy it?”

‘”Of course, I’m going to buy it from a regular material shop. We little merchants can’t afford to rent shops in the city, so we have to set up stalls. However, we are not allowed to set up stalls in the city. Otherwise, we will be expelled from the city by the guards.”

“Uh, so there’s also a city management brigade here …” Xu You suddenly muttered.

“What brigade?” Droca seemed to hear Xu You whispering.

“No, no, Brother De, how about this, I can help you collect these materials, but you have to be cheaper so that I can sell them, earn money, and then come back to help you collect them, so that your goods can be cleared out, right?” Xu You suggested kindly.

“But” Droca hesitated. The price he gave Xu You was actually very cheap, Gold ores cost two gold coins, or 20 gold coins. The unit price was only 10 silver coins. Magic stones cost a little more, 50 silver coins per unit. However, this was because magic stones were associated diamonds and the drop rate was low. However, when it came to equipment or other items, there were several groups of gold ores. Magic stones only cost one or two. Therefore, gold ores sold better.

However, no matter what, this was the cheapest price. Droca hesitated because she was afraid that she would lose money. However, if she didn’t sell it, who would buy the materials for him? Well, it all comes down to him being a very ordinary merchant, Without a background and connections, Xu You was a client that he had developed with great difficulty. He had been waiting in the black market for a long time, but he hadn’t waited for any other migrants. Hence, Xu You was his only client and his only lifesaving straw. He had never waited for any other migrators (Migrants were what NPCs meant by players), so Xu You was his only client and his only lifesaving straw.

“Alright, brother, tell me the price. If I can accept it, I’ll sell it to you.” Droca was like a defeated general.

“I only want gold ores. If you are willing to sell me one gold coin and one group, I will take all 500 groups from your warehouse.” Xu You said a price straightforwardly and waited for Droca’s reply.

Droca’s expression became even uglier when he heard this. Xu You slashed his waist horizontally, directly cutting the price by half. However, could he not sell it? Without more money to pay the wages, the workers below would rebel.

“Alright.” Droca nodded in the end.

“That’s really great. Brother De, believe me, I can sell these materials very quickly. I will definitely come back to help you clean up the warehouse when I earn money.” Xu You was ecstatic when he saw that Droca had agreed, but on the surface, he was calm. However, Xu You was still too excited and accidentally spilled the beans.

“Hmm? Didn’t you say that these materials aren’t easy to sell?” Droca asked.

When Xu You heard this, he couldn’t help but secretly curse himself for not being calm enough. He hurriedly said, “This is because a friend of mine needs a large amount of gold ores. I’ll sell him directly.”

“So that’s how it is. So you’re saying that you don’t need to press it into gold ingots this time?” Droca suddenly came to a realization and asked.

“Right, right, right. This time, there’s no need to press it into gold ingots.” Xu You nodded. This time, he didn’t buy gold ores to make things, but for resale, Of course, the more you earn, the better, Compared with gold ingots, Gold ore is a more valuable raw material, because players can also do the process of pressing gold ore into gold ingots. The mining sideline comes with a smelting sideline skill that specializes in pressing the ore into corresponding metal strips. This smelting skill can also increase the experience of mining, so ores are generally more expensive than ready-made ore strips.

“Alright, I’ll go get the goods now. Brother Whiteboard, you can wait here for a while.” Since he had already agreed, Droca did not dwell on it. She was determined to complete the transaction as soon as possible, so as to avoid a long night’s sleep.

“No, no, no. Didn’t Brother De say that your warehouse is outside the black market? Then I’ll go out with you. Anyway, I’ll just do this business with you.” Xu You said. Indeed, after spending 1000 gold coins to learn skills, he only had 500 gold coins left. He could only buy the gold ore in Droca’s hand.

“Alright, there’s also a warehouse for your migrants next to my warehouse.” Droca agreed.

“That’s even better.” Xu You nodded.

Droca’s operation was clean, Xu You quickly obtained 500 sets of gold ores, He had also paid 500 gold coins, and his warehouse couldn’t hold so many things, so he had to spend another 50 gold coins to expand the warehouse to 500 square meters. Only then did he put down all the gold ores. Now, Xu You only had a few dozen silver coins and a large pile of gold ores left. However, he believed that his gold coins would soar again soon.

The reason for that was because in the current system auction house, there was a shortage of rare ores like gold ores. Even if they sold for 10 gold coins, there would still be people who wanted them. That was to say, the gold ores collected by Xu You’s 1 gold coin group had a total profit of more than 900%! Earlier, he told Droca that 1 gold coin 1 group was very difficult to sell. That was a big trick. This guy Xu You still had the potential to be a profiteer.

“It’s no good not getting rich this time.” Xu You had already seen countless golden coins waving at him.
