In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The Agent

What the h*ll is this!

He kept scrolling through his private messages and confirmed that the highest offer was only 110,000! And they even required a five-day waiting period before the transfer.

There was one who could pay immediately, but they brazenly offered the official price of 100,000, claiming instant transfer and that it was the market price.

What a joke!

According to Hu An, a single dose of his self-made, bootleg basic Yuan liquid could easily sell for over 10,000 outside the Martial Path Academy. This Yuan Qi Pill could be used to make at least fifteen doses of basic Yuan liquid.

Lao Hu wouldn’t lie to him.

These people offering 100,000 or 110,000, did they think he was still the same clueless person as before?

Wait a minute——!

Shen Xing suddenly realized.

Three or four days ago, when he bought that electromagnetic pistol, he really didn’t know anything. He sold the basic Yuan liquid for a price equivalent to 5,000 at the official rate. If it were him back then, he might have sold a Yuan Qi Pill for 100,000 or 110,000, believing it to be the actual market price.

If everyone in this group knew the details of that transaction and still considered him the same sucker from three or four days ago, then this situation wouldn’t be strange at all.

But, he had negotiated the price of the electromagnetic pistol privately with that person!

And he hadn’t seen the other party mention it in the group.

“Interesting.”

Shen Xing started scrolling through the group messages and discovered that in the past three or four days, there were also offers for cultivation resources.

And they were all at low prices!

A single dose of basic Yuan liquid was sold for a maximum of 6,000, and the seller even acted as if they had gotten a bargain!

So, he could basically conclude.

“These people are all in cahoots. In fact, it’s very likely that only one or two people are controlling these accounts!”

After figuring this out, Shen Xing’s expression became quite intriguing.

He really didn’t expect that even in the year 4032, such tactics still existed?

Using multiple accounts to impersonate multiple traders and create a false market?

Compared to the classic investment scams of his previous life, the only things missing were stock recommendations and investment information.

Can’t you learn something good from us ancients?

Previously, he thought the student who sold him the electromagnetic pistol was overly cautious. Now, it seemed that the person wasn’t cautious at all, but rather quite bold.

That’s right, only a bold student would sell an electromagnetic pistol.

“I’ll see just how bold you really are.”

Shen Xing muttered to himself in his heart, but he was suddenly very interested.

He was going to bait them out!

First, he contacted the person who offered 100,000 and replied: “Okay, but I need an anonymous Xingyun savings card, and I’m in a hurry. It’s best to meet face-to-face now. Don’t worry, we can choose a crowded public place.”

Then he contacted the other few who had made offers and replied with the same message.

Only to the one who offered 110,000 but needed five days, he replied: “Sorry, I need to sell it urgently, I can’t wait.”

His request to meet wasn’t because he felt he had been taken advantage of in the previous transaction and wanted to get even. He simply wanted to verify the identities and capabilities of the students behind these accounts.

Judging from the time this group was established and the way these accounts were expertly disguised, he was clearly not the first victim.

If nothing else, at least in the area of covert transactions, the other party had a certain level of skill.

The previous package was also delivered very quickly and accurately.

It was very likely that they had already established a certain channel.

And this was exactly the kind of person Shen Xing was looking for.

After all, even if he purchased the Yuan Qi extraction equipment and made his own basic Yuan liquid from the other world’s pills, he wouldn’t have the time or energy to sell and monetize it himself.

His own cultivation and strengthening were the most important things!

Therefore, finding an agent was an inevitable need.

And at this stage, the agent’s ability was the most important thing. He didn’t need to worry about other things. After all, as long as he controlled the source of the goods, he wouldn’t have to fear the agent turning against him.

◈◈◈

In the future, as his strength and status increased, would he have to worry about finding followers?

Having entered the business world in his previous life, Shen Xing was already used to having people work for him and wasn’t worried about controlling them.

Another thing he valued was that since this group could get their hands on a homemade electromagnetic pistol with stable performance, they might actually have some technical ability.

This was worth noting.

Because he not only needed money to buy cultivation assistance equipment, but he also needed some lethal weapons that were not easily bought with money, or to modify some equipment so that it could be better used in the other world.

“They’re biting.”

Shen Xing saw messages coming in, some simultaneously, some one after another. Some directly refused, some refused face-to-face transactions, and some pretended to hesitate.

If Shen Xing wasn’t already 80% sure that these accounts were controlled by the same group, he might not have suspected anything.

However, since they dared to continue sending messages, it meant that either they hadn’t noticed, or they were very bold.

Shen Xing’s response was very straightforward. He ignored those who refused, and to those who refused to meet, he simply replied, “It’s okay, I’ll find someone else.”

Only to those who pretended to hesitate, Shen Xing further urged: “I urgently need to buy something else, and that person only accepts anonymous savings cards. If we can trade within two hours, I can offer a discount of 5,000. Within one hour, a discount of 10,000! You choose the location, but it must be a public place! I’m also worried about safety!”

“This is the lowest price! I won’t go any lower!”

“Brother, you’re not the only one who wants to buy. If someone else agrees, I’ll sell it to them directly.”

“…”

He sent several messages to different people at the same time, creating a sense of urgency.

At a price of 90,000, if it were made into basic Yuan liquid and sold, it could make a profit of at least 60,000 to 70,000.

With a little more time, 80,000 to 90,000 was also possible.

This profit was definitely attractive to most students outside the Martial Path Academy.

However, Shen Xing’s attitude was very calm. If they didn’t take the bait, or if they were too powerful to handle, or if he didn’t find them suitable after meeting, then he would just have to spend more effort to find other agents.

“Okay, Longhua Square, third floor, second fountain, in one hour.”

Seeing this message, Shen Xing couldn’t help but smile.

In fact, he received more than one agreement, with different locations, but this message was the fastest among those with the highest offer.

Since he hadn’t met them yet, Shen Xing naturally had to maintain his disguise.

He agreed directly and then declined the other offers.

Longhua Square was located in the center of Linjiang City and was also a major transportation hub, with direct buses from all directions, most of which could reach it within an hour.

At this moment, he just needed to transfer to another bus.

It only took him about half an hour to get there.

Although it was called a square, it was actually a huge building with only five floors, but each floor was about seventy meters high, so it looked exceptionally wide and open.
