Lin Jie smiled and continued the selling, and the whole market went crazy due to these Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potions! In the twinkling of an eye, all the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potions in the market were sold! Half of Lin Jie's potion stock was sold, and the average selling price was around 24 silver coins each.

Checking the lists of transactions, the transaction amount had reached 50,000 gold coins! In other words, tens of thousands of potions had been sold in the market in just a few hours. The players' insane demand for potions was evident.

However, with Potion Maniac and Seven Ears' effort of making potions, the Sky Provisions Shop still had more than 50,000 bottles of Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion in stock. Also, with those two talented helpers, potions were like the water in the Yellow River! Stimulated by the high demand in the market, that two guys had been making the potions more crazily than usual and stocking up more potions.

“It's about time.” Lin Jie stopped selling at the time when the market demand reached the highest. Everything should be well controlled, especially when selling the goods. The manipulation of the market by a businessman was like a landlord holding on to a large amount of food in a period of famine. The most important thing was to squeeze the interests in the most effective way.

As he expected, the supply of potions in the market suddenly increased after he stopped selling. These potions were selling in units at 35 silver coins per bottle, and each unit included 1,000 bottles!

Also, these potions were all sold in less than 20 minutes!

Lin Jie realized his intention immediately: someone was speculating in the potions! And this person was pretty rich as well. There were businessmen who made a living by speculating the market in the game, and Lin Jie was mentally prepared for them to get some potions from him and sell at a higher price.

“WTF, 35 silver coins a bottle! Is this guy insane?”

“He's like robbing our money! Damn! Profiteer!”

“I was still considering when it only cost 20 silver coins, but now…”

“Are you regretting? We bought 200 bottles at that time, hahaha…”

Many acquainted headhunters were talking about it and felt helpless about the current price of the potions.

The headhunter's job was similar to the leader of a purchasing team in the real world, and everyone knew that it was easy for them to make profits. If the timing was right, the amount they earned through the price differences in a transaction could be up to a month's salary! Therefore, as a successful game headhunter, he must be flexible and know how to seize the opportunity when he should.

Listening to these people's complaints, Lin Jie's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he already knew what had happened: A few guilds had prepared a large amount of money and bought all the potions when he had been selling. And when his low-price potions were out of stock, they started selling them at high prices!

This kind of guild which resold the potions at a profit should not be one focusing on the dungeons, or else they should not even have enough for their internal consumptions. But… who could have such a huge amount of money to manipulate the market? Lin Jie's eyes flashed, and suddenly a name came to his mind—All for Love. She belonged to the three alliances. As Baili Changcheng had said, Wei Lu had even been promoted to the management and had some power in hand when Baili Xuanyuan was away.

But how could a sly old fox like Baili Xuanyuan have given all his power to a woman? The most possible reason was that he was only using Wei Lu as a shield or a smokescreen. According to the fact that the three alliances were still clearing the dungeons and the progress was not slow, it was likely that Demon Robe was commanding.

As for Wei Lu? This woman must have gained part of the power; otherwise, she could not hide it from the others. In Lin Jie's previous life, he had dated Wei Lu for a few days, so he knew her character well. She was not a silly woman. On the contrary, she was very clever and knew how to make use of her beautiful appearance for her own benefit. Thus, it was logical for her to buy potions and resell them for profit!

Lin Jie thought through this idea in his mind, it should not deviate much from the fact. Even if he had guessed wrong, he could still benefit from this no matter who was reselling the potions.

“Since you want to make money, I'll give you a hand.” Lin Jie smiled. At this time, the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion, whose value had reached 35 silver coins per bottle, was like a claw, locked tightly on the throat of all guilds.

If they bought, the cost was too high, and they had to bear with the squeeze of profiteers.

If they did not buy, they could not clear the dungeon! They could not rely on buying several Superior-Grade Magic Potions every day and save them until they had enough to attack to the Boss!

With no other alternative, they could only decide to buy!

Taking advantage of the rising price, many businessmen and casual adventurers, who had bought the potions, started to sell them. The price of the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion was raised high, and the profiteers were happily making a lot of money.

Lin Jie finally thought of a move while the profiteers were tasting the sweetness of reselling and planning to continue it. This could be an excellent opportunity! Hehe, profiteers, let's see if you have more gold coins, or I have more potions!

In Stormy Woods of City of Elves.

Wei Lu was sitting on a wooden chair full of elf scent and was playing with her well-decorated fingers before she said, “Baili Xuanyuan hides behind me, throws me out to attract people's attention, but gives all his power to Demon Robe. What a good plan! Unfortunately, you're not kind to me, so I'll be unjust to you! Make a quick profit now, and I'll leave after this!”

“Love…” A deep voice came from the door, and a strong Shield Specialist came in and said softly. This man was one of Baili Xuanyuan's henchmen, as well as his bodyguard in reality, keeping him safe at all times. However, he had changed stand after he had slept with Wei Lu when he had been drunk. He rubbed Wei Lu's head and gave her a kiss which made her mouth tingle.

“Don't… we'll be in trouble if there's any Bandit keeping an eye on us,” Wei Lu blushed and said hesitantly. With a “bob” sound, a silver thread came out of the corner of her mouth.

“Love, you've made a lot of money this time round. I'll give you another 10,000 gold coins, I trust you can operate well and remember to give me half of the profit.”

Wei Lu nodded shyly and opened the trading column, 10,000 gold coins were added into her bag. A trace of geed flashed across her eyes when the gold coins fell into her bag. With the original amount, she had more than 13,000 gold coins now! This was equivalent to 1.3 million dollars in reality!

“Then, I'll go first, or else I'll be found out by Xuanyuan. I'm very loyal to him.” The big man laughed, pinched her full and round breasts, and walked away.

Wei Lu spat in disgust as she watched him disappear in her sight, but felt happy again when she looked at the gold coins in her bag. With these gold coins, she should be able to make a good profit again!

“Oh? Another batch of potions?” Looking at the auction news, Wei Lu brought up a fascinating smile. “I'll see how many you have in stock! If it's below 30,000 bottles, I'll buy them all!”

Ding~

—”The Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion which you put up for auction was sold off at a price of 25 gold coins per bottle. You have earned 2,500 gold coins in total.”

Looking at the system notification, Lin Jie folded his arms and then he took another 10,000 bottles from the Provisions Shop.

It wasn't long before Wei Lu started selling potions again at a price of 35 silver coins each.

Lin Jie sneered and put all 10,000 potions up for auction at starting bid of 20 silver coins and a fixed price of 25 silver coins! This huge amount of potions hit the market, which had been manipulated by Wei Lu, hard.

“Continue to buy!” Wei Lu smiled with confidence and bought them all. As she had expected, that man, who made people love and hate him, threw another 10,000 bottles into the market again!

Buy!

Wei Lu spent all 10,000 gold coins that she had just obtained! With her stock, she already had more than 50,000 bottles of potions in hand! Even if she sold at 30 silver coins each, she could earn as much as an ordinary man's salary for years! It was about more than half a million dollars in reality! And this could be the most profitable business! If she had enough capital, she would be more than willing to continue to buy up.

After the man who was selling the potion had finally stopped, Wei Lu then realized that her body was shaking with nervousness. Luckily, her bet was right, or else she could have lost everything if she made a wrong move. That man had stopped selling potion in the Auction House, probably because he had run out of stock, if not…

Ding~

-System Announcement (Calling-out from player Seven Ears): Dear friends, are you still worrying about the high-priced potions at the Auction House? Are you still willing to be cheated by the profiteers? In order to alleviate the pressure on potions for all guilds and teams, the Sky Provisions Shop bought thousands of bottles of potion for research, and we have finally decoded the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion Recipe! We're starting to sell the Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion from today onwards! It's only 10 silver coins each with unlimited stock, and we promise that we'll never increase the price!

This announcement blew up the whole game world immediately!

“It's the Sky Provisions Shop! They provided Augmenting Gem for us last time, and now they decoded the recipe for us again! They're so nice!”

“Damn, I also took the Augmenting Gem from them, and now I created Team God's Hatred. Little help brings much return. With their style of work, my team will always support them!”

“Nobody wants to hear your oath, you should go and buy it quickly. Do you really think there's unlimited supply? Get it quickly, or else you have to spend dozens of silver coins to buy from the profiteers.”

“Hahahaha, those profiteers are gonna go crazy!”

Numerous players rushed to the Sky Provisions Shop! The cost of manufacturing a Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion was around 4 silver coins. Hence, selling at 10 silver coins each was already earning a lot. Bella was busy with collecting money, selling potions, and counting the goods. As for Potion Maniac and Seven Ears, they were constantly making more potions. Since commissions were included, in addition to their basic salary, the more they sold, the more they could earn!

Unlike the bustling Sky Provisions Shop, in the Stormy Woods, Wei Lu was sitting on the chair weakly, her body resembling like jelly drops, and her eyes were full of despair.

“It's over…” Wei Lu muttered but jumped up suddenly. “No! I can sell the potions cheaply and leave at once!”

“Leave? Wei Lu, Xuanyuan gave you such a large amount of money to do business. You not only achieved nothing but also lost hundreds of thousands. How are you planning to leave?”

Looking up, Wei Lu found that the voice belonged to the man, who had been seeking pleasure from her body and had promised to protect her. He folded his arms as he spoke indifferently.

“You… liars! Liars!” Wei Lu shouted hysterically. How could she not understand the current situation? She had been deceived from the beginning!

At this time, a figure suddenly jumped out of her mind – she suddenly remembered that silly man at this moment.
