126: The main feature is a black box operation!
With a large amount of solidified Spiritual Qi crystals, Blue Rose personally took charge, and in less than half an hour, she bought a shop selling battle armor.
Blue Rose asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry? If you had waited a bit longer, the price could have been two million cheaper."
A virtual panel floated in front of Mechanical Yuanzun. His hands were resting on it, designing battle armor, his eyes calm. "Do you know, I have a superpower."
"Oh? A gifted Spell? What is it?"
"It's called Super Rich."
Blue Rose: "..."
You sure know how to talk trash.
Before long, Mechanical Yuanzun sent the blueprints to the Mechanical Clan, asking them to optimize and produce.
"Don't forget to offer opening benefits. Choose one hundred lucky individuals to receive battle armor."
Blue Rose listened, her teeth aching. "Ten is ten million, one hundred is one hundred million... A first month loss of one month? You really understand operations."
"Just do as I say."
"Alright."
...
Tang Gao took his companions and started strolling, focusing on eating, drinking, and having fun. Everyone's mood improved significantly, and they tossed the annoying textbooks from earlier to the back of their minds.
Liu Yi held a tablet, frowning deeply. "Brother Tang, if the five of us want to buy, it'll cost at least five million. Converted to Spirit Stones, that's ten High-Grade Spirit Stones of the third tier.
If we rent, it would be much cheaper, but that would affect our future combat power."
It was truly expensive.
Five million, with Brother Tang's ability and connections, it wasn't impossible to get, but he was worried Brother Tang would have to repay it for a long time.
Brother Tang smiled and patted his shoulder. "Alright, let's eat skewers. Just leave it to me. Is five million a lot?
It is a lot, but it's not a problem. If worst comes to worst, we'll make Xu Ling'er do hard labor. With her talent and strength, a few months of forging will definitely earn a lot of money."
Xu Ling'er's eyes widened. "Tang Gao, are you even human? Am I, a descendant of the dignified Ice Bloodline, to be understood and used like this by you?
By the way, Xiao Yi, is forging really that profitable?"
Liu Yi nodded. "Very profitable. With Sister Xu's strength and talent, you can start at two hundred thousand a month. Your Bloodline Power is very special; just selling your Bloodline can earn a lot of money."
Two large red hundred-yuan bills instantly appeared in Xu Ling'er's eyes. "What?! That profitable?! Introduce me to the connections, I'll go to work right now!"
Liu Yi was utterly speechless and ignored her, looking at Brother Tang. "Brother Tang, do you need me to look for a nearby shop?"
Tang Gao held a skewer of barbecue and chuckled. "Go find one."
He had already sensed Mechanical Yuanzun's location. Next was a performance.
"Hm? There happens to be a good battle armor shop nearby. Shall we go take a look?"
"Let's go."
The group followed the navigation, walking for about seven hundred meters, and saw that the shop entrance was exceptionally lively. A large crowd was blocking the area, discussing animatedly, their eyes full of excitement as they looked at the staff inside the shop.
Liu Yi looked bewildered. "Are battle armor shops this popular?"
Liu Ren complained, "Are all new students this rich? Coming directly to buy such high-end goods?"
This shop was considered a prestigious one. Its main selling points were not just the brand, but also the powerful functionality and heritage of its battle armor, combined with cool and stylish designs, making it very popular among young people.
However, due to the beautiful prices, honestly, it was rare to see so many people gathered here.
Even for Cultivator Families, those who could casually pull out several million were considered tycoons.
Liu Ren patted the guy in front of him and asked curiously, "Hey buddy, what are you all doing here? Is there an event?"
The new student in front turned around and explained enthusiastically, "There's an event! They say this shop was bought by a powerful Cultivator named Mechanical Yuanzun, and on opening day, they're choosing one hundred lucky individuals to give away battle armor!"
Liu Ren's face was shocked. "Holy crap!? Giving away one hundred sets for opening?! What grade are they?"
"I don't know! Even a used, super low-grade one would cost seventy to eighty thousand! Battle armor that people died in would start at thirty to fifty thousand!"
Liu Ren gasped and immediately retreated. "Holy crap! This place is too wild. Should we go to another one!"
No, are you guys being ridiculous or not?
What do you mean battle armor that people died in sells for thirty to fifty thousand?
The new student looked at him scornfully. "You clearly don't know how to make money. If it's battle armor that even black dogs wouldn't dare to approach, you can get it for around twenty thousand!"
Liu Ren's face turned pale, his legs trembling, as he hid behind Tang Gao. "Brother, should we retreat? This place is too wild. Let's go to another one... Even if they gave it to me for free, I wouldn't dare to take it. I'm a coward..."
Tang Gao silently took a bite of his barbecue, then turned his head and asked, "Xiao Yi, is the battle armor market really this wild now?"
Battle armor that black dogs wouldn't dare to approach sells for twenty thousand?
Battle armor that people died in sells for seventy to eighty thousand?
Low-grade ones for two hundred to three hundred thousand?
You guys really know how to wage a price war.
If Mechanical Yuanzun dares to fool me with this kind of stuff, I'll smash his head later.
Liu Yi's face was full of black lines as he flipped through his tablet. "That's... how it is, I guess? I don't really understand these things."
General Feng patted Tang Gao's leg and pressed the translator on his neck with his front paw. "That's right, what the young man in front said is true. I accompanied Brother Liu to purchase before, and battle armor that people died in is indeed very cheap."
Tang Gao: "..."
The world is truly big, and the ways are truly wild. Mechanical Yuanzun, you'd better have some foresight.
"Alright, welcome everyone! Now, please line up for the lottery!
Every number we call will be our opening day's lucky winner, receiving a set of battle armor!"
Everyone began to line up, very orderly.
Liu Ren swallowed. "Brother Tang, should we retreat?"
Tang Gao rolled his eyes. "If they really use battle armor that people died in as prize, do you believe they'd be out of business tomorrow?
Use your brain. At the very least, they'd have to give out battle armor worth a hundred thousand."
Xu Ling'er was disappointed. "Even if you don't want it, selling it to someone else is still money! You're truly a rich man who doesn't know how to live frugally!"
Liu Yi nodded faintly. "Agreed."
Li Yuan had already taken General Feng and gone to line up.
Seeing everyone else doing the same, Liu Ren opened his mouth, then reluctantly followed and lined up.
The eldest young master of the Liu Family's main branch, for a few tens of thousands of yuan, had to pinch his nose and line up to participate in the event.
Soon, everyone received their numbers.
Tang Gao looked at his number. "One hundred and three. What about yours?"
"One hundred and twenty-five." This was Liu Yi.
"Eighty-nine." This was Li Yuan.
"Seventy." This was General Feng.
"Two hundred and fifty." This was Liu Ren.
Tang Gao looked at him speechlessly. "How are you so far back?"
Liu Ren sighed. "Damn it, I couldn't push my way through."
He was just a tiny bit slow and got pushed back past two hundred.
Tang Gao rolled his eyes. "Go Cultivate more later, so you don't embarrass yourself when you go out."
Tang Gao complained while sending the numbers to Mechanical Yuanzun.
What?
Does anyone really think it's based on luck?
It's all about black box operations.
