Chapter 116: Wolf pelt prices soar; others fear, I am greedy.

Wu Huihui and the other players quickly finished collecting the loot, then went to support the players on the lower floors.

The level five elite monster was particularly difficult to deal with.

Other floors were still locked in fierce battles, and some names in the chat room had already turned dim.

Xu Lang's expression remained calm, showing no intention of going to help.

If the players below couldn't withstand this little bit of pressure, they would have difficulty surviving later on. Plus, if he went, he might be accused of kill stealing.

Of course, the most important reason was that he didn't want to take risks.

Forget about being ambushed—he wasn't even sure he could defeat Li Shuwen alone.

Although he could urgently upgrade the Jade Burial Suit or something similar, that would disrupt his own development rhythm, and it wasn't necessary.

Just as he was about to turn back to his dorm, a figure vaulted up the stairwell and rushed toward Xu Lang, saying, "Lang Ge, Lang Ge, are you still accepting tenants here?"

At this moment, he couldn't access either the chat room or the Trading Network, and he was panicking badly.

"What do you think?" Xu Lang raised an eyebrow in response.

Zhu Yan gave an embarrassed laugh. Although he had once been Xu Lang's classmate, they didn't have any personal relationship.

And as for classmates—Xu Lang had already killed who knows how many of them.

"Try going to Li Shuwen's place. At least you have a wall-hanging skill, which is pretty good," Xu Lang said calmly.

When dealing with outsiders, he didn't want to appear too friendly, just like how he initially treated Cao Yaxuan.

"Okay, thank you for the advice, Lang Ge!" Zhu Yan responded, then couldn't help but complain, "Back then, I was bewitched and kept feeling like someone was out to get me, insisting on becoming a Dorm Owner. I wasted so many resources, and now it's all ruined."

Many highly educated talents want to start their own ventures, only to discover later that their proud advanced degrees are merely the entry threshold for junior positions at major companies.

Zhu Yan was in exactly that situation now.

Ultimately, it came down to insufficient Gaming Experience.

Zhu Yan quickly left, mentally prepared to put on a good performance in front of Li Shuwen.

"What a shame, none of the three Frost Ghost Centurions dropped skill scrolls."

"It's fine, his skills don't seem very suitable for us anyway."

"Ouch, so cold, so cold! Light the fire quickly, light the fire!"

Inside Dorm 200, the women hurriedly lit the fire.

"Don't you want to wrap yourselves in a few more wolf pelts?" Xu Lang asked.

"Wearing too many layers is uncomfortable," Cao Yaxuan shook her head in refusal.

If other players heard this, they'd grind their teeth in frustration.

With only a few days left until the game ended, Xu Lang sat by the fire pit and discussed with the women, unanimously deciding to sell the wolf pelts in batches.

These items had extremely strong timeliness—once this round of the game passed, their value would plummet straight to the bottom.

He currently had nearly sixty wolf pelts in hand, and the market price for wolf pelts had already broken through two thousand Copper Coins, with the resistance level at three thousand Copper Coins.

Xu Lang hadn't studied finance, but his position was much higher than Zhou Daha's.

That was, you couldn't harvest the retail investors too harshly, or it would affect the ecological environment.

Selling all sixty wolf pelts would still net him one hundred eighty thousand.

While this certainly wouldn't exhaust several hundred players, it could still cause market liquidity to wither for a while.

Moreover, if he didn't sell the wolf pelts, others wouldn't be able to go out and create value for him... then who would he sell his Blood Crystals to? Plus, he still had the Blood Flame Lantern to sell.

While they were discussing, the price of wolf pelts suddenly broke through three thousand Copper Coins.

The monsters had all been killed, and the Frost Ghost Guards had carried the throne away.

At this moment, the first thing everyone needed to do was go out for Floor Sweeping!

And the most important item for Floor Sweeping was wolf pelts!

Seeing that the wolf pelts on the Trading Network had been snapped up, Xu Lang began offloading his stock, listing ten wolf pelts at once.

In the icy, snowy wilderness, Wu Huihui shivered as she ran into the cafeteria.

Only those like them who were outside truly knew how cold the weather was.

Just then, a trade notification popped up.

Wu Huihui's eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked Accept.

Then, the other party sent an inquiry.

After saying this, she entered nine thousand Copper Coins, and the other side listed three wolf pelts.

Both parties completed the trade.

In less than three minutes, Xu Lang earned thirty-nine thousand Copper Coins!

This was faster than robbery!

The corners of Xu Lang's mouth curled up in pleasure as he opened the chat room to continue observing market sentiment, while having Tong Qi monitor the wolf pelt prices on the Trading Network.

Just then, Tong Qi shouted, "Lang Ge, someone listed a Frost Wolf pelt for four thousand Copper Coins!"

They actually raised the price by a thousand Copper Coins directly?!

Xu Lang was shocked internally and was about to open the Trading Network to check when Tong Qi added, "It was instantly bought!"

"Hahaha, wolf pelts hit four thousand!" Zhou Daha clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

It was him who had just ordered his subordinate to list the wolf pelt, aiming to ignite market sentiment.

And now, everything was developing according to his predictions.

After discovering that one wolf pelt sold for four thousand Copper Coins, many people exclaimed in disbelief, and other Retail Investors also began listing their wolf pelts.

"Buy, buy, buy! Take all the goods available!" Zhou Daha shouted loudly.

"Ha Ge, people in the chat room are already saying this price is unreasonable," a subordinate quickly said. "If it goes any higher..."

If it goes any higher, people might switch to buying firewood instead and just stay home, no longer going out for Floor Sweeping.

Zhou Daha loudly scolded:

"How many times have I told you all? Trading goes against human nature! When others are greedy, I fear; when others are fearful, I'm greedy! Don't you understand this basic principle?!"

"Additionally, I want you to flame all those players spreading negative comments!"

"These are all troublemakers trying to drive the price down!"

"Mere Retail Investors dare to oppose the Market Makers!"
