'Whoever made these rules for the universal trading system definitely wanted to exploit the rare resources of the entire universe at low prices and transmit them for free. I'll say it: those super civilizations and super strong beings made such a big move to create a universal trading system, so why would they do something so unprofitable...'
Lin Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he muttered to himself.
However, one person wants to fight, and the other wants to take the beating. That's just how business is.
If you can't change it, you just have to accept it.
'What? The third drop of Golden Source Liquid can only increase 3 billion spirit crystals?'
Soon, Lin Yun widened his eyes in disbelief.
He had thought that for every drop of Golden Source Liquid sold, the next drop of Golden Source Liquid could increase 5 billion spirit crystals. This was already enough of a rip-off, but he didn't expect it to get even worse.
'According to this pattern, after I sell this drop of Golden Source Liquid, the next time I sell it, it is likely to only increase the spiritual crystals by two billion...' Lin Yun laughed in anger.
Is this really taking him for a fool?
'It is estimated that the reason for this price increase pattern is also that these Golden Source Liquids are sold by the owner of the same universal trading system. Is this an official guess that the owner of a universal trading system who suddenly obtains a large amount of the same kind of natural treasure will easily be able to sell it? If so, this is really a way to rip someone off!' Lin Yun mused.
After thinking about it, Lin Yun did not sell the third drop of the Golden Source Liquid.
He decided to wait and slowly observe the price increase pattern.
Anyway, he was not too short of this spiritual essence.
'Ding!'
Just as Lin Yun was thinking, someone suddenly contacted him.
'Friend, do you still have any Golden Source Liquid? If so, I can buy it at a high price!'
A message came from the owner of a universal trading system.
According to the prompt, Lin Yun discovered that the owner of this universal trading system was none other than a customer who had just purchased his Golden Elixir.
'Ding!'
Almost immediately afterwards, a similar message came from the buyer of the first drop of Golden Elixir.
'The price I just sold it for is already the maximum price allowed under the rules of the universal trading system, and you're offering a higher price?' Lin Yun replied in surprise when he saw the other party's inquiry.
'We can trade in reality. You can send the Golden Source Liquid to where I am, or I can go to your real place to pick it up, or we can negotiate a place to trade. As for the price, the more Golden Source Liquid you have, the higher the price I can offer, in short, to your satisfaction,' said one customer.
Another customer gave a similar response.
'Can this be done?' Lin Yun was dumbfounded.
After careful consideration, this kind of operation is still very feasible.
Currently, the price of Golden Source Liquid on the Universal Trading System is obviously low.
A future rise is almost certain.
The other party is buying a large amount of Golden Source Liquid at a premium, and they can make a fortune if they sell it in the future when the price of Golden Source Liquid is higher.
The more they buy now, the more they will earn.
This is very similar to the stock market on the Blue Star.
Perhaps, in the future, they will even raise the price themselves.
'Why don't I sell some Golden Source Liquid to them at a high price now, let them push up the price of Golden Source Liquid, and then I'll ride in a sedan chair?' Lin Yun pondered.
However, Lin Yun quickly dismissed this idea, shaking his head and saying, 'No, these people have considerable financial resources and should not be weak. The lifespan of people like this is tens of thousands of years, so asking them to wait a few hundred or a few thousand years is nothing. But who knows when they will raise the price of the Golden Elixir? If that happens, I'll be the one sitting in their sedan chair, not the other way around, and that would be a loss.'
Thinking like this, Lin Yun rejected the proposal of these two customers.
Next, two more customers contacted Lin Yun, and after Lin Yun refused, no one else contacted Lin Yun.
Lin Yun guessed that this was thanks to the rules of the Universal Trading System that protected instant traders, so that no one other than the buyer who did not notice on the spot knew the contact information of the owner of the Universal Trading System who sold the item.
However, specifically, whether this protection was really protection or whether the officials had another idea, it was hard to say.
Now, Lin Yun's resentment towards the Universal Trading System was getting bigger and bigger.
Three days later, Lin Yun posted the third drop of the Golden Source Liquid on the Universal Trading System.
This time, the price that could be increased was 5 billion spirit crystals.
This also confirmed that the longer the interval, the price that could be increased would indeed increase.
Moreover, it was not possible to trade in large quantities after suddenly increasing the overall price substantially.
Because the interval between each time was short, the price that could be increased was getting smaller and smaller, and overall, it did not necessarily represent a bargain.
It is not necessarily cost-effective to sell it every once in a while.
Another week later, Lin Yun posted the fourth drop of the Golden Source Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.
The price that could be increased this time was still 5 billion spirit crystals.
Ten days later, Lin Yun posted the fifth drop of the Golden Source Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.
The price that could be increased this time was also 5 billion spirit crystals.
At this moment, Lin Yun discovered that the Cosmic Trading System's decision not to disclose certain rules was really a very wise decision.
It allows many owners of the Universal Trading System to be unaware of the rules. After obtaining a large amount of a certain kind of natural treasure, they cannot wait and have to sell it within a short period of time.
During this period, many owners of the Universal Trading System also asked Lin Yun about the Golden Source Liquid.
It was nothing more than a proposal to buy it in reality.
The recent price increase of the Golden Source Liquid has made Lin Yun think of selling it to these people.
Because the price of the Golden Source Liquid he is currently selling on the Universal Trading System is only 112 billion spiritual crystals per drop.
The highest price those people have sold it for has reached 130 billion spiritual crystals per drop.
If it weren't for the fact that he has a very large amount of Golden Source Liquid, and that Xiaojin can continue to refine it endlessly, he would really do it.
Unfortunately, these people don't know his current situation.
It is better for him to hold onto the Golden Source Liquid and sell it at a higher price in the future than for him to let those people hold onto it and sell it at a higher price in the future.
Selling to those people would involve real-world transactions, which would be troublesome, whereas it is more convenient now.
Lin Yun rejected one after the other.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.
Lin Yun sold a total of 20 drops of the Golden Source Liquid on the Universal Trading System.
Some were sold with an interval of two or three days, some with an interval of ten days, some could be sold with a price increase of 2 to 3 billion spirit crystals, and some could be sold with a price increase of 10 billion spirit crystals. Lin Yun discovered that the longer the interval, the greater the price increase was not necessarily the case.
Once, Lin Yun did not sell the Golden Source Liquid for a period of ten days, and as a result, he could only increase the price by 3 billion spirit crystals.
Later, Lin Yun waited three days and was able to increase the price by 7 billion spirit crystals.
This caused Lin Yun to become completely confused. He was not sure about the specific rules of the Universal Trading System, and he felt even more that the rules of the Universal Trading System were very unfair.
At first, Lin Yun thought that the price of the Golden Elixir on the Universal Trading System had reached its limit.
Fortunately, a subsequent transaction, combined with Lin Yun's analysis of the Golden Elixir, made him realise that the current price of the Golden Elixir on the Universal Trading System was not yet its true value.
Currently, the price of the Golden Source Liquid on the Universal Trading System has been raised to 1,213 billion spirit crystals.
'Three months have passed, and we still haven't found any information about Mingdu. Perhaps, he has already left this star system...'
Lin Yun looked up, his gaze penetrating the layers of space to gaze at the starry sky outside, as he spoke softly.
