"Young lady, do you have any more beast materials? Any part will do."

"Sorry, uncle, you're too late. That was really our last box of materials earlier, a total of about two thousand kilograms, sold out in no time."

"Ah, alright, alright."

Seeing off an elderly client with disappointment on his face, Wang Qiang patted her chest with lingering fear:

"Oh my god, these clients and agents are just too crazy."

Next to her, Wu Fan casually pulled a set of cotton coats from behind and laid it on the stall, with 'XXL' prominently written on them, and said:

"I guess these people all have procurement tasks. If they can't acquire enough goods, they might get penalized or have their bonuses deducted. Back when I was still in school, the way people grabbed salt at the supermarket made this look tame compared to a diarrhea outbreak with the neighbor's dog."

Wang Qiang didn't respond, humming a little tune, clearly in a good mood because of the huge influx of Spirit Stones.

Not long ago, the first batch of over two tons of beast materials displayed by the rabbits was swept away by several clients in just about ten minutes.

The final average price even reached four Spirit Stones per kilogram, a bit higher than the original 3.9 per kilogram.

Don't underestimate that 0.1 increase; it's almost a 5% premium, which means over two hundred additional Spirit Stones earned for over two thousand kilograms of materials.

A bit more, and you could buy a puppet doll wife made out of paper.

Back when Mu Ge and the others were purchasing beast materials, they spent an average of 2.34 Spirit Stones per kilogram.

Compared to the wholesale price of 2 Spirit Stones per kilogram, this premium for the 25 tons of cargo totals exactly eight thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

These two tons of materials have now brought rabbits more than three thousand six hundred pure Spirit Stones as profit, selling a bit over two tons can cover the more than eight thousand premium.

Afterward, Wang Qiang thought of something and nudged Wu Fan with her elbow:

"Hey Wu Fan, when do you have time to go with me to other associations to take a look?"

Wu Fan's face couldn't help but show a question mark: "Look at what?"

"Bargains, I'm telling you, I firmly believe you have the protagonist's aura."

A unique detective's white light effect flashed quickly across Wang Qiang's glasses while she prattled on:

"In a normal situation, you're definitely the novel's protagonist.

If you hadn't been discovered by Cao Yi and them, you might have tried passing through the light gate with your phone first and hesitated for two days after finding it didn't capture anything, finally choosing to buy some adventure gear online and come to the Damo Realm.

You then encountered a beast tide and escaped with the main force; maybe that letter from Wei Siming was for you, and the Spatial Bag from Wei Mansion ended up in your hands.

On your escape route, you met Hua Xiaomo, gathered a large group with carrots and potatoes, occupied a Spirit Stone Mine as a base, and became an opportunistic broker, eventually reaching Ziqiong City.

Oh, and isn't the Patriarch of the Yang Family celebrating a newborn daughter? Perhaps... ouch!"

Wang Qiang covered her head and looked back, only to see Lin Ziming holding a lidless pen, giving her an expression of 'none of my business':

"I'm on a call with headquarters, your voice was too loud and Captain Lin heard it, he told me to take action. Don't blame me for revenge."

Wang Qiang: "..."

After the joke, Lin Ziming straightened up and addressed everyone:

"Right, everyone, get ready, in a little while we'll prepare to clear out the inventory."

When it came to clearing out the inventory, Wang Qiang immediately stopped covering her head, glaring as she asked:

"Colonel Lin, are we really preparing to clear our stock so quickly?"

Lin Ziming nodded and motioned for everyone to gather around him:

"According to multiple pieces of equipment we monitored, recently, the number of transactions on the street where the Core Formation Realm families are located, just in front of the market, is obviously decreasing.

At the same time, our scouts stationed outside the Yang Mansion have also reported that the Yang Mansion's side door has gradually started to transport a large quantity of goods out.

Therefore, the command at headquarters has reached a conclusion: Beast materials are at a peak period, with the Yang Mansion taking this opportunity to sell.

Once the Yang Mansion completes its shipments, it's very likely they'll collaborate with Tingyun Pavilion to set transaction prices and directly intervene in the market.

By then, there could be substantial price drops in beast materials, possibly even coercive buying and selling situations.

Because the buyer is Tingyun Pavilion, not Purple Treasure Pavilion, Purple Treasure Pavilion can completely stay out of it."

Tingyun Pavilion, as mentioned by Lin Ziming, is one of the many foreign trade associations involved here, and also the most powerful one among them.

It is said that its network of connections even extends to a Nascent Soul Ancestor in the demon faction. Its trade coverage is very broad, truly a giant in its own right.

In this market trade, Tingyun Pavilion and Purple Treasure Pavilion are essentially the largest buyers and sellers.

Faced with the skyrocketing materials market, Tingyun Pavilion and other foreign trade associations have been delayed by Ziqiong City's timing; it's certain they won't be able to buy resources at regular prices this time.

However, Tingyun Pavilion is not a downstream end merchant, they have ways to make money through cost transfers— the simplest way is to raise the prices alongside.

Of course, this is based on the premise that material premiums are possible, but not too outrageously high.

Thus, Tingyun Pavilion approaching Purple Treasure Pavilion for negotiations is an inevitable occurrence, it's just a matter of when Tingyun Pavilion will bow down.

If the person in charge at Tingyun Pavilion is hardheaded, the material prices might fly high for a while longer, but if they're quick-witted and sharp, they might recognize the loss early and stop it in time.

Furthermore, faced with the demands of a powerful outsider, Purple Treasure Pavilion's conduct cannot be too shameless, it's necessary to grab the opportunity profitably.

Also, a market should ideally have various blooming points; the goods being sold should not only consist of beast materials.

Now with the skyrocketing beast materials, aside from those merchant groups that dealt early, the remaining ones are either hoarding or are the clients gathering materials, greatly affecting the normal operations of the market trade.

Under these circumstances, Tingyun Pavilion proposed price intervention, and Purple Treasure Pavilion naturally had to agree.

Now that the Yang Family begins shipping out, it suggests the two parties may have already reached some sort of agreement:

You (Purple Treasure Pavilion) ship out and satisfy other associations, after which, collude to lower prices so I (Tingyun Pavilion) can absorb goods to minimize losses.

The above speculations are the result of a rigorous deduction by the think tank based on market dynamics, with high accuracy.

However, other merchant groups and associations do not have the means like the rabbits, even the merchant groups of several Core Formation Realm families are still in the dark.

Thus, for the rabbits, this is the best time to unload their stocks.

The combined materials from Taoshu Commerce Association and Wei Mansion amount to slightly above thirty tons. With a basic total of over four million Spirit Stones, selling them off quickly is really simple.

Consequently, Wu Fan once again assumed the role of a tool:

"Clearance sale, clearance sale! We've stumbled upon another box of beast materials, and this truly is the last box now, 4.3 Spirit Stones per kilogram, buying is profiting!"

4.3 Spirit Stones per kilogram, this is 215% of the wholesale price, 198% of what the rabbits paid.

Even more expensive than before!

Yet, in the current strong seller's market, the clients could only begrudgingly line up for their turn.

Meanwhile.

Seeing the rabbits' current clearing actions, the responses of other merchant groups varied.

Wei Qiangsheng naturally followed the rabbits' lead, decisively laying out all materials for sale, betting everything!

Other merchant groups holding beast materials in their inventory secretly sneered, folding their arms and watching the scene play out.

After all, they believed that the beast materials would continue soaring, selling right now seemed foolish.

As for some other merchant groups, observing the booming business of the rabbits' stall, cried even harder...

In less than two quarters of an hour after the goods were laid out.

The rabbits' twenty-three tons of materials were completely sold off, with one association swallowing up nine tons in one go.

The sixty-one thousand Spirit Stone cost, after a round of scooping up and selling out, now reached more than one hundred seventeen thousand, almost doubling the quantity.

Compared to the initial twenty thousand Spirit Stones, it's nearly a five-fold increase!

An amount of one hundred ten thousand Spirit Stones is almost one-tenth of a small low-grade Spirit Stone Mine's reserves — considering a certain director's reasons, this proportion might even be smaller.

Now they are truly wealthy.....

And half an hour after the rabbits sold out.

Purple Treasure Pavilion's Chief Shopkeeper Yang Bolin and Tingyun Pavilion's leader Fang Hongdao appeared simultaneously in the market, both issuing a joint statement:

To maintain trade order and ensure market health, the two associations have officially decided that beast materials within the market shall not exceed a sale price of 3.3 Spirit Stones per kilogram.

Moreover, in support of measures for demon defense, and to contribute to the Damo Realm, Tingyun Pavilion requires a mandatory transaction of beast materials by all parties.

The fangs have been bared!

Seeing the remorseful merchant leaders nearby, Lin Ziming shook his head with a sigh:

Do you really think capital would let you make money so easily?
