Seven days passed in a flash.
Red Cotton Peak was teeming with people, and most of the Mountain God Sacrifice Teams had arrived. Over the past few days, they had bought a great deal of berries from Chu Liang. Now, having assembled the Five-Element Talismans, they were drawn here to unveil the clues' answers.
The sight of a young man, whose face wore a harmless smile, stepping slowly onto the stage aroused a complex mix of emotions in the crowd below.
Many harbored a mixture of love and hate for Chu Liang.
When the Silver Sword team first sold the clues, they did so privately, giving rise to an informational imbalance. By the time some realized they could resell the answers for profit, nearly everyone had already made purchases.
There was no room left for them to profit from reselling.
When Chu Liang planned to sell the clues' answers for the second time, some wised up, hoping to purchase early and then resell at a lower price, at the very least to cover their costs.
