332: A lot of harvest! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the stall owners were still a bit hesitant.
After all, it was their first meeting; trusting or not trusting was too rash.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised; he hadn't planned to settle everything in one day.
"You three, give me the purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure in your hands, and I will pay you."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pointed to the three people in front of him and took out a Backpack Card.
"That's about enough for today; I only brought enough money to buy this much."
After he finished speaking, he ignored the shouts of some people nearby.
Whether they were asking Jiang Yuan to look again, offering a cheaper price, or proposing to give Jiang Yuan a partial payment as a deposit, Jiang Yuan ignored them all.
After squeezing out of the crowd, he handed his Backpack Card to Shi Ji at the market entrance, in front of everyone.
Or rather, to the Earth Element Spirit Race girl that Shi Ji had transformed into.
"Go sell these first and bring back some cash."
"Okay."
After Shi Ji nodded in agreement, she took the Backpack Card and walked towards the Grotto Heaven exit.
In a short while, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
Some clever stall owners in the market also directly left the crowd and secretly followed her.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but break into a sweat at the sight.
He was also very afraid that the other party would directly follow her into the Element Spirit Race Grotto Heaven.
If that happened, his plan would fail.
However, according to the human merchants in the Grotto Heaven, they generally would not leave the Grotto Heaven.
Especially when there was a big client here.
After all, these merchants had to pay a fee to enter the Grotto Heaven.
"Let's go, let's head back first."
After Jiang Yuan glanced at those stall owners, he led Nezha and the others out of the market.
It was almost evening now; they needed to find a place to rest and continue tomorrow.
Old Jun also quietly left the crowd of stall owners and returned to Jiang Yuan's group.
Soon, Jiang Yuan noticed that Shi Ji's card in his mind lit up.
This was a sign that Shi Ji had transformed back into a card.
After waiting for a while for the cooldown, Jiang Yuan re-materialized Shi Ji.
"How was it?"
"No big deal, they didn't go out; they didn't follow me."
Shi Ji smiled and returned the empty Backpack Card to Jiang Yuan.
"It should be fine in at most two days."
Old Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, someone should agree to this method tomorrow."
"Come again the day after tomorrow, give them the remaining money, and basically most people will agree."
Old Jun said, shaking his head slightly, "This is human nature; although they are not the same race, they are all alike."
"Yes, human nature."
Jiang Yuan also squinted his eyes, smiling like a little fox.
Old Jun also laughed happily when he saw Jiang Yuan like this: "If this plan succeeds, then we really won't lack materials for making pills."
"Hmm, your physical quality, although it can't be improved to Nezha's level, it can still be greatly improved," Old Jun said, pinching Jiang Yuan's arm with a smile.
Nezha and Shi Ji both had origins.
Although Nezha was human at first, he later became a lotus root incarnation.
Nezha's master wouldn't give Nezha an ordinary lotus root to incarnate.
Shi Ji, needless to say, originated from a stubborn stone.
Zhao Gongming's origin was the essence of the sun's fire, and his physical quality was equally strong.
Jiang Yuan, not to mention comparing himself to them, would be grateful for Old Jun's awesomeness if he could even have half their strength.
The next day, Jiang Yuan once again used money to acquire some purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.
Fortunately, with the military's order money as a base, and the previous purchases of card materials being bartered, Jiang Yuan still had a lot of money in hand.
On the second day, more people agreed with Jiang Yuan's idea, indicating that they could pay a deposit first and then pay the rest after the items were sold.
Jiang Yuan agreed, but only to a portion.
The full-payment transactions were about half more than yesterday, while the remaining half only paid a deposit.
Soon, the second day passed.
On the third day, Jiang Yuan went to the Element Spirit Race market again, settled yesterday's final payments, and this time, even more people chose the deposit-first model.
"Not enough money, I can only take about half."
Jiang Yuan calculated and quickly said to the people surrounding him.
"Everyone is taking, why don't we not take their full payments for now, and take ours that will be paid later, this way we can take more."
The Element Spirit Race disguised as Old Jun spoke, and instantly received unanimous approval from everyone.
In the past two days, many Element Spirit Race people had earned money, which made those who hadn't earned money feel even worse.
It was acceptable if everyone was the same, but now that you've earned money and I haven't, that's not okay.
Thus, the current scene unfolded.
Those who hadn't earned money were afraid of earning less than others, so they not only agreed to pay a deposit first but even indicated they could take less.
The others who had earned money were afraid of earning less than before, so they also expressed their willingness to accept the deposit model.
After a commotion in the crowd, it was finally decided to set the deposit ratio at eight percent.
Reality is like this: if one person gives in, everyone else will give in.
The purpose was to allow Jiang Yuan to take more and try to accommodate them.
Especially these two days, the stall owners who traded with Jiang Yuan on the first day earned even more, making the people around them green with envy.
When Jiang Yuan bought their goods, they had more money to buy the scattered Element Spirit Race spoils.
The more they bought, the more Jiang Yuan would take on the second day, and naturally, the more money they would earn.
This was also why Jiang Yuan had taken purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure for three consecutive days, and there was quite a lot, even more than before.
Originally, many people would hold onto their heavenly material and earthly treasure, partly to wait for a good price, and partly for unforeseen needs.
But these stall owners would also raise prices to earn more.
This way, they could acquire more.
This was a cycle, a cycle that had been stirred up by Jiang Yuan's intervention.
Jiang Yuan put various heavenly material and earthly treasure into his Backpack Card while observing.
After acquiring about two-thirds of the heavenly material and earthly treasure present, Jiang Yuan finally waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, that's enough for today, I'm out of money."
"Hey, don't rush, I still have some here."
"Exactly, I still have a lot here, and the quality is definitely better than theirs."
"Here's fire-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure, even easier to sell!"
"Don't stop buying, or we can lower the deposit even more, how can you be embarrassed to take an 8% deposit?"
"Exactly, exactly, lowering the deposit even more is fine."
The bosses who hadn't been "visited" by Jiang Yuan instantly became anxious and spoke quickly.
At this moment, Old Jun once again stepped forward.
"Take mine too, just give me a note, I don't need a deposit!"
Old Jun's voice rang out, and the scene instantly quieted down.
"Hmm, that works too."
Jiang Yuan ignored the gazes of the surrounding stall owners, thought for a moment, then took the two purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure handed over by "Old Jun" and gave them to Zhao Gongming, who was doing the statistics behind him.
"Record this: these two are 1,100, and when we settle tomorrow, give 1,150."
"Okay."
Zhao Gongming nodded, recorded it, and then gave "Old Jun" a note.
Everyone looked and immediately became excited.
This, it seemed, was also possible!
Especially those stall owners who hadn't been visited by Jiang Yuan.
"I can too, I'll give it to you now."
"And me, and me."
The remaining stall owners waved the purple heavenly material and earthly treasure in their hands, trying to hand them to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "I can't take too much; you trust me, and I will naturally give you profit, but if it's too much, I won't have any profit."
"You're a big boss, you care about our small profits."
"Exactly, exactly, take them all."
"Look at mine here, the ones I have are not only good quality but also large in quantity."
Everyone spoke, and Jiang Yuan, while saying he wasn't making money, accepted them and had Zhao Gongming write down the orders.
Soon, most of the purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure in the market were acquired.
Well, most of them.
A small portion of stall owners remained unmoved.
They were present when full payment was offered, but as soon as the deposit model was mentioned, they instantly fell silent.
Not to mention when no deposit was paid later on.
This was a typical case of not showing your hand until you see the rabbit (not taking risks without a sure thing).
While they wouldn't make big money, they also wouldn't fall into any traps and suffer losses.
Jiang Yuan had no way with such cautious people.
However, the harvest was already quite good, wasn't it?
Just looking at the purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure obtained today, not counting the previous two days, there were a full three hundred-plus items.
This almost emptied about half of the purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure that the Element Spirit Race could obtain in this Grotto Heaven.
This was also because the environment of this Grotto Heaven was good, which was why there were so many.
After all, there were many terrains like Lei Bao Canyon in this Grotto Heaven.
And each of these terrains would have at least one purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure that could grow fixedly.
"Same time tomorrow, let's stop here for today."
Jiang Yuan smiled and waved to everyone, then led Nezha and the others out of the market.
Then, at the market entrance, in front of everyone, he handed all the Backpack Cards to Shi Ji.
Shi Ji took the Backpack Cards and walked towards the Grotto Heaven exit.
The act must be complete!
After returning to the hotel, Shi Ji was re-materialized once the cooldown period ended.
The room fee still had three days left, and Jiang Yuan had no intention of checking out.
In the dead of night, seeing no one outside, he directly changed his appearance and went out through the window.
Fleeing overnight.
"Since we're already here."
These were Jiang Yuan's original words last night.
Because among these nearly five hundred heavenly material and earthly treasure, the main target, lei mang carrot, was not present.
Jiang Yuan even had Zhao Gongming check his luck value, and only after confirming there was no problem did he feel a bit strange.
Over five hundred heavenly material and earthly treasure, and no lei mang carrot?
Of course, there were other main heavenly material and earthly treasure produced in this Grotto Heaven that hadn't appeared, but this result still made Jiang Yuan a bit unacceptable.
So last night, when discussing, when Old Jun mentioned other alternative methods, Jiang Yuan would say that sentence.
Since we're already here, although there are other alternative methods, let's go and see, maybe it's there.
They had already arrived at the Element Spirit Race gathering place, and it was less than half a day's journey from Luolei Mountain.
This was even by walking, so how could they not go and see?
Another thing was that there weren't many Element Spirit Race people here now.
After all, it was considered the hinterland, and basically no humans would penetrate into such a place.
So most of the Element Spirit Race people were in the outer areas.
"Since we're already here" combined with this safety, there seemed to be no reason not to go.
As for those merchants?
Most of them had little combat ability.
Even if they did, his appearance had already changed, and they wouldn't recognize him.
So Jiang Yuan confidently walked towards Luolei Mountain.
If it was there, great; if not, it would just be a stroll.
Jiang Yuan set off towards Luolei Mountain, while Kadinga and Léon Leis on the other side had grim expressions.
In a few days, although some humans had been eliminated, Jiang Yuan's figure had not been found.
If it weren't for that human's confident assertion that Jiang Yuan had not returned at all, he would have already been unable to resist exploding.
"It seems that it's indeed as that human said, that guy used the same method as the Earth Element Spirit Race to evade our sight and went to Luolei Mountain."
Kadinga looked at Luolei Mountain with a grim expression.
If that were truly the case, would Jiang Yuan have already left Luolei Mountain during the days they had wasted?
Clearly, Léon Leis also thought of this possibility, and his expression was equally grim.
However, a moment later, Léon Leis glanced at a message and shook his head.
"News from Luolei Mountain, no human figures were seen."
"But..."
"The Earth Element Spirit Race can walk underground for a long time relying on their racial talent, ask that human how long that Skill Card can last!"
"Okay."
Léon Leis's subordinate nodded and then sent a message to that human.
Soon, the message came back.
"One use lasts five minutes, cooldown ten minutes."
"Indeed, if that's the case, under this carpet search, he should not have arrived yet."
Léon Leis also smiled after hearing this news.
"Summon the Earth Element Spirit Race, directly harden the ground around Luolei Mountain, so no one can walk underground!"
"Let's go to Luolei Mountain immediately, we might still be able to block him!"
After Léon Leis finished speaking, he immediately set off for Luolei Mountain.
Kadinga also quickly followed behind him.
However, they overlooked one point, or rather, they simply didn't know that the Earth Walking Technique Skill Card was made by Jiang Yuan.
The one-time Earth Walking Technique was indeed like that, but the one Jiang Yuan had was different.
The cooldown for the Earth Walking Technique in Jiang Yuan's hand was only one minute!
PS: This "business plan" is a true story; my uncle was scammed this way.
People in one market were collectively scammed about four million, and it even made the news.
Finally, the case was solved, the person was caught, but the money and goods could not be recovered.
Be vigilant!!
