“What are you doing?” Mr. Fang was playing ‘Fight the Landlord’ when he received a message on QQ.

Nalan Mingxue? What does she want? Fang Qi replied her with a question mark.

[I plan to buy some books from The Morning Star Sea Realm. Please do the deal for me.] Her reply came soon.

Buy books? Buy some books ? Mr. Fang was puzzled. [You’re a warrior, and there are only a few skills for your profession. How many do you want to buy?]

Nalan Mingxue replied, [Not only for me. I also need skill books for wizards and Taoists, and I’ll buy from you if you have them. 2,000 crystals for Magic Shield Spell; 700 crystals for Holy Armor Spell; 10,000 crystals for Enchanting Light…]

She finished the long list of prices and followed up with a picture of a Husky’s dumb expression.

“Guild President! Look! Someone is offering to buy the Magic Shield Spell for 2,000 crystals, Holy Shield Spell for 700 crystals, and other skills books for hundreds of crystals each. Let’s sell the skill books! The buyer is someone named ‘New Snow’, and she has been flooding the World Channel with the price list!” Sitting next to Fang Qi, Ruan Ning almost jumped up at the offers. Her warehouse was full of skill books that the guild had collected.

“Don’t sell!” Mr. Fang sent Nalan Mingxue the picture of the Akita Inu’s disdainful face before saving the picture of her Husky’s dumb face that she sent. “She’s so audacious that she tried to get my skill books!”

“Why not?” Ruan Ning said in disapproval, “The prices that she is offering are ten times higher than before, and they can’t get any higher! If we don’t sell them now, we won’t find a better buyer!”

“Don’t be dumb.”

With a sneer, Mr. Fang sent Nalan Mingxue a message, [What? You want to be a yellow cow?]

[TL Note: Yellow cow means scalper in Chinese.]

Ruan Ning leaned over and looked at his screen. “Hey! This is New Snow. You won’t let me sell the skill books, but you’re selling them?”

“She’s my friend, and that is why I’m talking to her. Don’t be dumb.” Mr. Fang felt helpless. “I’m warning you now. Don’t have dealings with this girl. She is smart enough to sell you, and make you count the money for her.”

“You’ll be sold by her, and you will count the money for her.” Ruan Ning was instantly furious. “The prices are so high! Why can’t I sell them?!”

Nalan Mingxue replied after a long pause, [What’s a yellow cow?]

[It is a scheming merchant who buys things out and sells them for much higher prices to gain unreasonable profits!] Fang Qi sent her an unamused face emoji. [The war has just ended, and the skill books’ prices increased tenfold overnight. There must be someone behind all this.]

[Did you start it?] Fang Qi asked tentatively.

[(Husky’s snickering face) It wasn’t really me.] Nalan Mingxue put the words into QQ with a faint smile on her face. [Before the war, I saw that the Royal Family was buying skill books in preparation for the war, and I followed suit. At this moment, there aren’t many skill books on the market even at higher prices. In a couple of days, I guess I need to buy the Magic Shield Spell Skill Book for as high as 3,000 to 4,000. I won’t buy them if the prices go any higher.”

“You… You guys…” While reading the conversation, Ruan Ning immediately sensed the stink of speculation.

“Of course, players wouldn’t hold many skills books right now, and they are hard to get. The players who had the intention of selling skill books would have sold them long ago. The players who still have skill books with them are waiting to see if the prices will go higher,” Fang Qi said contemptuously, “You’ve become a big scalper overnight. Tell me how many books have you collected?”

[It’s a secret. ?]

“The prices have gone so high. Can she sell them?” Ruan Ning frowned.

“Right now, many old players still need skill books. From the looks of it, many new players will enter the game. If some new players are rich and are willing to buy skill books at high prices…” Fang Qi patted her on the shoulder. “Girl, you’re still young and naive.”

“Humph! Old Demon Fang!”

“What did you say?”

“The Guild President is handsome and dashing!”

…

At this moment, two figures stood in front of the Jiuhua shop.

“Master of Gongyi, is this the place?” Gongsun Chui gazed at the shopfront which stood among residential houses. “It looks ordinary.”

They pushed open the door and entered. The tremendous space inside the shop immediately drew their attention.

“…”

Gongsun Chui who had been commenting about the ordinary look of the shop widened his old eyes. “How come the space inside is so huge?!”

“I remember that the Gongsun Family once obtained the building method of a spatial array from the Cultivation Realm,” Gongyi Xiu asked, “How is that method compared to this one?”

Gongsun Chui’s face turned dark. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

The Gongsun Family had only obtained an incomplete array blueprint, but the array in this shop was obviously complete.

“Where’s the shop owner?” Feeling embarrassed at the inferiority of his spatial array, Gongsun Chui became even more displeased when no one greeted them.

After all, when they went to the Three Saint Gates, the latter would send two important figures to receive them. Therefore, he was displeased by the lack of reception in this shop. “How come no one is receiving us? This shop is really rude. I think we shouldn’t waste our time on it.”

They walked further into the shop and read the words on the small blackboard until they came to the line that said, [If you want to play, then play. If you don’t, please leave smoothly.]

“What does it mean by ‘leave smoothly’?” They were baffled.

“It’s a polite way of saying ‘get out’!” Xiao Yulv was sitting on a couch. “I’ve never seen you guys before. Are you new players?”

He had a deck of poker cards in his hands. “Do you want to join me and play Fight the Landlord?”

Their faces turned dark. “What’s that?”

Landlord? We are not here to fight a landlord with you! We’re here to investigate the shop and have no time to play with you! They thought in disdain, No! We don’t want to fight the landlord with y ou.

After reading the rules and introductions on the small blackboard, they asked, “Where’s the shop owner? We want to try the games!”

“Sorry, guys.” A cute loli sitting beside the counter put down her virtual reality headset and said, “There’re no seats available now. If you want to play, please wait in line! If you’re bored, you can play Fight the Landlord with Gongzi Xiao in the lounge area.”

The two men were at a loss for words.

Enraged, Gongsun Chui pointed his finger at his own chest and said, “Do you know who I am? Even the people from the Three Saint Gates don’t dare to order me to wait in line!”

“What are the Three Saint Gates?” Jiang Xiaoyue snorted with her hands on her waist. “The boss said that even if gods came here, they have to wait in line when the house is full!”

“You! Little girl, you’re bold!” Gongsun Chui’s old face turned red with fury, and he had the urge to attack!

“Brother Gongsun!” Gongyi Xiu said in a low voice, “The situation is still unclear, and it’s not wise for us to make a move!”

“Humph!”

They sat on the couch in the lounge area.

“Gongzi Xiao, we heard that you’re very familiar with this shop?”

“Of course!” Xiao Yulv patted his chest while dealing the cards, saying, “I know everything about the shop including the game walkthroughs and the secrets of the shop! I call Landlord!”

Gongsun Chui was aggressive. “I’ll rob the Landlord from you!”

Gongyi Xiu said, “Pass!”
