Free Web NovelChapter 435: Chapter 242: Bulk Sales, Massive Procurement
About five minutes later, all two thousand kilograms of dried water rat meat sold out, bringing in 1,720 Points.
The three thousand kilograms of fish were also completely sold within ten minutes, bringing in 2,580 Points.
Luo Dingran knew these two items wouldn’t fetch a high price, so he sold them at one Point per kilogram, just as before.
The quantities of dried meat and fish weren’t large, so there wasn’t much to sell to begin with.
Of all their possessions in the Wilderness World, Wilderness Rice was the most plentiful, but they couldn’t sell it. Not because they were unable, but because they chose not to.
Demand from the outside world was high. It wasn’t necessary to sell it in the early stages, but they could try later on. If this experiment proved successful, they could sell it for one Point per kilogram in the future, and the Points would roll in like they had a money-printing machine.
With the dried water rat meat and fish sold out, Luo Dingran listed ten kilograms of Wilderness Rice, pricing it at 15 Points. That came out to one and a half Points per kilogram.
He then listed the Blood Burst Pills.
Half an hour later, the Red Blood Pill finally sold. 92,684 Points added to their account!
Over the next hour, fifty Blood Burst Pills were sold individually, bringing in 430 Points.
Luo Dingran made a note: Blood Burst Pills are sellable, but the price is a little high. They could lower it slightly. In the future, it could be sold as a secondary medicinal product, focusing on high volume over high profit.
The entire time, Cheng Zongyang simply watched Luo Dingran manage the sales and take notes. He wasn’t in a hurry to buy anything from the market, even with nearly a hundred thousand Points in their account now.
But he knew this amount of Points was nowhere near enough. This time, he was planning a major shopping spree, buying as much as his Points would allow.
Luo Dingran had also tested the waters and found the final price for Red Cloud Ore—47 Points per 100 kilograms, if sold in smaller, retail batches. If they wanted to sell a large quantity quickly, a suitable price would be 40 Points.
They had about twenty thousand kilograms of Red Cloud Ore. Not much had sold during the initial test sales.
So, Luo Dingran listed all the Red Cloud Ore at the price of 47 Points per 100kg, preparing to sell it slowly. An extra 7 Points per batch wasn’t a lot, but over time it would add up to 1,400 Points. That was enough to buy quite a few things.
If any was left during the final hour, it wouldn’t be too late to sell it off cheap.
The current listings were:
Red Cloud Ore, 20,000 kg, 47 Points/100 kg;
Five Grains Inner Replenishing Pill x 10,000, 1 Point/pill;
Innate Qi Technique x 100, 15,000 Points/copy;
Divine Weapon Refining Technique x 100, 2,500 Points/copy;
It was then that Cheng Zongyang noticed something was off.
’The First Grade Cultivation Immortality Techniques on the market all cost over ten thousand Points, but High Tier Martial Arts only cost a few thousand. Why is it that when we sold copies of the Innate Qi Technique before, we could get as much as fifteen thousand Points? That’s basically the price of a Cultivation Immortality Technique.’
As Cheng Zongyang pondered, a few possibilities came to mind.
’One, this technique is also a Cultivation Immortality Technique, but it emphasizes Martial Arts Body Forging, and its later content might be related to Cultivation Immortality.’
’Two, it’s a system product that can be upgraded later and comes with detailed cultivation experience.’
’This experience is effective for the host, hence the high price, even for a Martial Arts Technique.’
With these doubts in mind, Cheng Zongyang turned his attention to the Jade Stone Market.
With his Points total breaking one hundred thousand, Cheng Zongyang had never felt so confident. But he also knew that even this sum of nearly a hundred thousand Points wasn’t enough for today’s shopping.
Looking over the items again, Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment before ruling out the First Grade Cultivation Immortality Techniques.
He still felt he didn’t need that kind of technique. He could just use Points to raise his own Cultivation Level.
’As for Luo Dingran and the others, they have the Innate Qi Technique, so they don’t need anything else for now. We can always buy more later if necessary. Besides, I have a feeling this isn’t just some ordinary Martial Arts Technique. Otherwise, why would it be given as a starter pack for the first host?’
’Fasting Pills... they’re similar to Inner Replenishing Pills. Not very useful right now.’
’Spirit Grass, though... I could try researching that. If Zhang Jinquan can cultivate it, that would save a lot of trouble.’
’A Flying Shuttle... that must be a Flying Magical Artifact. Worth looking into...’
And so, he began to spend his Points.
High Tier Martial Skill: Acupoint-Sealing Hand. Points: -2,000.
Ten stalks of Blood Spirit Grass. Points: -1,666 (fractions of a Point are disregarded).
First Grade Magical Artifact, Flying Shuttle. Points: -13,000.
One Red Wood Carved Egg. Points: -300.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the Gatling. In the end, he couldn’t resist buying it.
It was for no other reason than wanting the chance to one day test the might of the "Namo Gatling Bodhisattva"!
Gatling Gun. Points: -1,000.
Total: 17,966.
Without hesitation, Cheng Zongyang spent another 10 Points to refresh the market.
Instantly, nine new items appeared.
Cheng Zongyang set the new items aside to sort through later and turned his attention back to the market.
For the rest of the time, Cheng Zongyang continued to make purchases based on his needs.
He targeted either High Tier Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques, or more affordable Spirit Grass, Elixir formulas, and other useful recipes. He even had Zhang Jinquan come over to determine the feasibility of some of the Elixir formulas.
Of course, this wasn’t about whether the recipes worked, but whether they could actually be made, since he might not have some of the required Medicinal Materials.
Then came the potentially useful technological items. Of course, he only bought ready-made products, not things that required his own research and production.
He didn’t have the time for that, and the Soul Slaves lacked the necessary knowledge and theoretical foundation.
While Luo Dingran sold their goods, Cheng Zongyang spent the Points. He didn’t spend them randomly, of course. He focused on items that would be useful, aid the development of the Wilderness World, or benefit the Cheng Family in the outside world.
