The Black Mountain City government was dumbfounded by this turn of events. They never imagined that TCM, which had never been such a hot topic among the Chinese before, would result in an overcapacity situation because of a challenge that resulted in national discord. Faced with such a massive inflow of people, the Black Mountain City government's only solution was to mobilize the police to maintain public order and try their best to arrange for lodging. They even began to set up tents in the city gardens.
But even then it was still not enough.
On the Internet, the prices of Black Mountain City hotels skyrocketed to ten times their original prices! Even so, there just wasn't enough supply to meet demand.
