34: Chapter 34: Is 50,000 luck the threshold? Sorry, I have 740,000!

"You're overthinking it." Jiang Feng had no intention of leaving her with any illusions and cut straight to the point.

"I farmed a few too many monsters today, and my inventory really can't hold any more."

The other end of the communicator fell into a deathly silence.

It took a full five seconds before Yan Yuyao's sharp intake of breath came through, as if her CPU were about to fry.

"O... one day?!"

"Big Boss, are you saying that you farmed the amount of equipment that the Nine Great Merchant Guilds had to bankrupt themselves to acquire... in just one day?!"

"Correct."

Jiang Feng flicked his wrist, tapping the bottom of his staff casually against the basalt ground, and delivered another blow with nonchalance.

"Just to inform you, at this time tomorrow, there will likely be another batch of goods of the same scale."

"Hmm... right, but the levels will be a bit higher, and the quality will only be better, not worse."

"Can you handle it? If not, I can just list it on the server-wide auction house."

"Don't! Living ancestor, please, don't list it!"

Yan Yuyao's voice jumped an octave, filled with unconcealable panic.

"Big Boss! This batch of goods you have is a dimension-reducing strike on the market; it's too terrifying!"

She had originally rallied the Nine Great Merchant Guilds to desperately acquire this batch of goods with the intention of monopolizing the market.

She assumed this was the accumulated wealth of a reclusive expert over several years; by using hunger marketing, she could make a massive profit upon reselling it.

But if Jiang Feng could produce 3,000 pieces of divine equipment every day, this monopoly would be nothing but a joke.

"Three thousand pieces of divine equipment dumped on the market would trigger a financial tsunami around Dongjiang City!"

Yan Yuyao spoke so fast it was as if her mouth were scalded, fearing that if Jiang Feng's hand slipped, he would really list them.

"If you dump another three thousand pieces tomorrow, the server's economic system will truly collapse on the spot!"

Goods are valuable when they are scarce; if divine equipment became common street goods, the over three trillion credits the merchant guilds invested would go down the drain.

Yan Yuyao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, not daring to offend Jiang Feng in the slightest.

She knew very well that someone capable of such heaven-defying production had strength that had long surpassed all guilds.

She couldn't even imagine that the luck value on Jiang Feng's panel wasn't some five-digit number, but a completely absurd 740,000!

"You can't handle it anymore?" Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow.

"I really can't handle any more, Big Boss, not a single drop left!"

Yan Yuyao smiled bitterly, her voice dry as if she had swallowed sand.

"The Nine Great Merchant Guilds' liquid capital has been drained dry; they absolutely cannot scrape together another three trillion within twenty-four hours."

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and finally understood the economic capacity limit of this world.

As his luck continued to soar, the equipment he farmed in the future would only become more monstrous.

Purely hoarding gold coins would soon become nothing more than a pile of useless numbers.

"Then let's change the way we play." Jiang Feng looked at the rolling bone ash in the sky. "Barter."

"Secret realm slots in reality, out-of-print hidden class scrolls, and high-tier breakthrough materials."

"As long as you can provide these essential goods, I have more than enough divine equipment."

When Yan Yuyao heard this, she didn't resist; instead, her spirits lifted.

The Big Boss didn't want money but resources, which meant their merchant guilds still had value to be utilized.

"Big Boss, think bigger. The conventional Demon Realm auction house can no longer contain a great Buddha like you."

Yan Yuyao immediately threw out her trump card.

"There is a circle in reality composed of the nation's top aristocratic families and super guild leaders called the 'Tianshu Secret Society'."

"The Secret Society doesn't accept gold coins, only points; one hundred million gold coins are required for just one point. The treasures inside are all strictly sealed collections that are not circulated publicly."

"I happen to have a black card slot in my hands, and I will transfer it to you for free!"

By giving away the slot, Yan Yuyao could ensure that her merchant guild would firmly cling to the thigh of this number one player in the entire server.

This investment was a huge profit; there was no loss.

"Fine." Jiang Feng agreed readily.

Hearing that Jiang Feng's tone was agreeable, Yan Yuyao's eyes darted, and she boldly made a suggestion.

"Big Boss, since the equipment market is saturated, you really don't need to fixate on divine equipment."

"Your production efficiency is equivalent to hundreds of the nation's top main force teams combined. Why not switch tracks and farm job advancement materials?"

She quickly pulled up the market data.

"Currently, a large number of players are stuck at the threshold of the second job advancement, and the drop rate for advancement materials is extremely low, making them absolutely hard currency."

"This stuff is in short supply; the market can instantly consume as much as you produce."

Jiang Feng's finger tapping the staff paused slightly.

Indeed. He killed monsters entirely by brute-forcing his way through with monstrous stats, never having thought about the cost-effectiveness of commercial monetization.

He simply sold whatever dropped.

"That's a good idea." Jiang Feng nodded slightly. "Once my wealth is sufficient, I can buy whatever resources I want in the Tianshu Secret Society."

Hearing the casualness in Jiang Feng's words, Yan Yuyao quickly spoke up to guide him.

"Don't, Big Boss! With your heaven-defying strength, farming second advancement materials is overkill."

"The price of third advancement materials is dozens of times higher than the second. Instead of wasting time, why not just skip tiers?"

Jiang Feng smiled lightly. When it came to schemes for making money, these merchant guild leaders really knew their stuff.

"Since that's the case, if I go straight to getting fourth advancement materials, wouldn't that be even more profitable?"

Fourth advancement corresponds to level 120. This is currently the highest tier threshold that human powerhouses on Blue Star can reach.

Yan Yuyao gasped, her tone instantly becoming extremely serious.

"Fourth advancement materials are indeed top-tier, highly profitable commodities! The price is rock-solid and always in short supply."

"But its drop mechanism is extremely harsh; it can be said to be a nightmare for the unlucky."

"When killing level 120 monsters, a player's luck value must exceed 50,000 points to have a tiny chance of triggering a drop."

She immediately cited an industry myth: "There was once a speed-build thief who used a full set of ancient jewelry to push his luck to just over 50,000."

"He spent a day scavenging in the fourth advancement map and managed to find 28 materials, earning several small targets in one go!"

"Big Boss, if you can scrape together 50,000 luck, you would absolutely win big farming fourth advancement materials!"

50,000 luck? Jiang Feng glanced at the glaring 740,115 luck value on his panel.

Others had to desperately scavenge to scrape together the 50,000 baseline, but with his 740,000 luck value, he was simply going in to restock.

This luck-based drop rate would absolutely exceed imagination.

"Understood. I'll go on this trip." Jiang Feng's tone was flat, revealing none of his true details.

Yan Yuyao was overjoyed and immediately sent over a string of coordinates.

"Big Boss, these are the coordinates for the level 120 treacherous map [Fallen God Wasteland], which abounds with the core fourth advancement material, 'divine crystallization'!"

"The monsters there are dense; it's practically a harvest ground tailor-made for you!"

Hanging up the communication, Jiang Feng scanned the coordinates, looked at the nearby plaza, and moved his consciousness slightly.

The glazed golden dragon coiled around his wrist instantly uncoiled and shot straight into the sky!

Blinding golden light exploded outward!

A roar of the Ancient Ancestral Dragon that shattered the clouds resounded across the firmament, and the Dragon Girl directly revealed her 100-meter-long true form as an Ancient Ancestral Dragon!

The glazed scales refracted heart-stopping divine light, and the pure pressure of a superior being poured down like a rainstorm, firmly enveloping the entire main city.

On the plaza below, tens of thousands of players collectively turned to stone.

The originally clamorous trading area instantly fell silent.

Everyone's gaze was glued to the Ancient giant dragon in the sky that blotted out the sun.

"Holy shit?! Is that... is that a player's mount?!"
