Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 639 Calculation
In Wanbao Pavilion, there was a huge crowd outside, but it was surprisingly quiet inside, and not many people really came to join in the fun.

This is also a way for "Wandaodian" to screen the target population. Although the redemption ratio is the same, don't forget that there is a transaction tax in the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel does not recognize any private currency. The exchange of these ten thousand points will be regarded as a gift by the Tower of Babel, and taxes will still be collected, and they are two-way taxes, which must be paid by both the buyer and the seller. The more you exchange, the more you will pay.

In addition, Wanbao Pavilion has set a financial requirement, and only those who meet the requirement of Wandao Points can enter and participate in the auction. As a result, it becomes a screening process. Those who are not strong enough and courageous enough can only watch from the outside. Only those who are wealthy and well-off can enter and compete.

As a result, the venue was naturally quiet, and all major forces tacitly kept silent. Even if there were words, they were undercurrents, unlike the noisy outside the venue.

"Tongtian Fairy Palace!"

"The Netherworld Dao Mansion!"

"Kunlun Wonderland!"

"The Zhou family, the Ning family, the Tantai family..."

"That unlucky guy Ji Xingyue is here too!"

"We finally waited until that monster Meng Huaian advanced, and then someone even more outrageous came right after. It's really unlucky to be this bad."

"No one could be more unlucky than the Zhou family. They made such a scene out of nowhere. Not only did they lose face, but they also had to bite the bullet and come here to redeem their belongings with a large sum of money."

"Hmph, they are responsible for their own mistakes. Who told them to be blind and not strict with their subordinates?"

"You can't say that. Looking at the methods used by Wanbao Pavilion, we know that this person is very ambitious and has great plans. He is definitely not someone who is willing to be inferior to others. Even if Tongtian Academy does not treat him harshly, he will establish himself as a king sooner or later. Now that it has been detonated in advance, the Zhou family may be thankful."

"If you ask me, the most unlucky ones are Ning Bozhong and Tan Taiqin. They were dragged into the pirate ship by Zhou Tianqi and became the money-delivering boys. The territory they worked so hard to build was gone in one day. Their status in the family also plummeted. I wonder if they can be promoted to the ninth level in the future?"

Everyone kept silent tacitly, but also communicated with each other tacitly, and rumors and gossips continued.

Being in the arena, feeling everyone's gaze, Zhou Tianqi had a gloomy face, feeling angry but helpless.

He didn't want to come, but he had to. Although the family promised to compensate for his losses and redeem the important things with a large sum of money, this was only a verbal promise. Whether it could be implemented depended on the specific circumstances.

If he didn't come and handed the power over to other people, a lot of vital treasures would be lost in the end.

If you don't care about your own things, how can you expect others to work hard for you?
"It's all those bastards' fault!"

"You are greedy and selfish, and you only care about your own interests and are just like a termite that eats away at your own foundation!"

"Old Ancestor, you let it go. Don't you know that a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole?"

"If I don't take this opportunity to sort things out, then my Zhou family's eternal foundation will be in jeopardy..."

"Thank you all for coming. The first Wandao Conference has officially begun!"

My thoughts were interrupted before I could make up my mind.

Zhou Tianqi's eyes turned cold, and he looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a woman appear on the stage. It was Zhang Yan, the manager of Wanbao Pavilion.

Zhang Yan came on stage and said nothing more. She got straight to the point: "Now let's welcome the first lot - the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the item came up on the stage. It was a long banner with a sinister aura.

As soon as this item appeared, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ning Bozhong.

Ning Bozhong looked at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage with cold eyes, feeling both relieved and angry.

Needless to say, he was furious. The magic weapon was auctioned off in front of everyone. It was such a humiliation, how could he not be angry?

But while he was angry, he also had to be thankful because others didn't even have the qualifications to be angry.

After all, the Banner of a Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls is of a special nature. It is a treasure from the underworld and is not suitable for ordinary people to use. That is why that person put it up for auction, and he has the opportunity to redeem it.

Zhou Tianqi and Tan Taiqin did not have such luck. Their artifacts were general equipment. Even if the man did not use them himself, he could give them to his heroes. They had no chance to redeem them and could only swallow their anger and bear the loss alone.

"The Banner of Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls is a second-tier mythical equipment. It has 200 points of basic spell damage, 60 points of attribute bonus, and 6,000 points of mana increase. Its special effects are outstanding, especially suitable for lords and heroes of the netherworld..."

"The starting price is 10 million Dao points, and each bid increase must not be less than 10 million Dao points!"

"Ten thousand points!?"

After hearing the price Zhang Yan quoted, everyone present frowned, and Ning Bozhong's face was even more gloomy.

Ten million points may not sound like a lot, but it is actually not a small amount at all, because behind every ten thousand points is a huge amount of financial resources. Such a starting price is simply an exorbitant amount.

But they had to admit that the other party had the capital to ask for a high price. After all, mythical equipment rarely came out. Even a special mythical equipment like the Banner of a Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls was in a state of being priceless, so it was reasonable to auction it at a premium.

"Eleven thousand points!"

Sure enough, before he could finish his surprise, he saw someone take action and bid decisively.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was not Ning Bozhong, but someone else.

"It's Jiang Tao from Senluo Palace!"

"The Netherworld Dao Mansion and Ning Bozhong are mortal enemies."

"Now there's something good to watch."

"This Wanbao Pavilion really has sinister intentions."

"Humph, you are blinded by greed and don't know how to advance or retreat. One day, it will backfire on you."

"With such a powerful enemy in front of them, they are still fighting like this. No wonder the power of the Demon Abyss is growing day by day!"

"Who is the devil..."

Looking at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage and Jiang Tao who was trying to provoke a fight below the stage, everyone sighed inwardly.

"Humph!"

Ning Bozhong snorted coldly, not giving in at all: "Twelve thousand points!"

"Thirteen thousand points!"

"Fifteen thousand points!"

"Eighteen thousand points!"

The two men were confronting each other, and the situation was tense. Their shouting became louder and louder, and the smoke of gunpowder became thicker and thicker.

at last……

"Twenty-eight thousand points!"

Ning Bozhong's face was icy and he raised the price again.

"A gentleman does not take away what others like, so I should also help others achieve their goals!"

Jiang Tao smiled faintly, knowing that the price had already exceeded a lot and there was no benefit in arguing any further, so he simply backed off and gave Ning Bozhong a stabbing blow to the heart.

"Humph!!!"

Ning Bozhong snorted coldly, ignored him and just looked at the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the stage.

"Twenty-eight thousand points at a time!"

"Twenty-eight thousand points twice!"

"Twenty-eight thousand points three times!"

“Congratulations to this customer for winning his first lot!”

Zhang Yan smiled and immediately ordered someone to take the Banner of Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls off the stage and hand it over to Ning Bozhong.

Because it was a private currency and was not recognized by the Tower of Babel, there was no need for any transaction procedures or tax calculations. The Wan Dao Points exchanged by Ning Bozhong could be directly deducted from the account. The second-level artifact was auctioned at a premium, and the Wan Dao Points were exchanged. This in and out profited one, two, three, if not several times, which was equivalent to a big win.

Ning Bozhong took back the Banner of Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls, his face gloomy and he said nothing.

Twenty-eight thousand points, with a value of ten thousand points, this transaction price has exceeded several times.

Even if it was a second-tier artifact, it shouldn't be worth his expense.

But unfortunately, the Banner of a Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls is not just a second-level artifact to him, it also involves his territory and is one of the keys to the advancement of the "Netherworld Ghost Realm".

Such an important item left him no choice. He had to grit his teeth and take it back even if the price had to be several times higher.

On the auction stage, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Now let's invite the second item - the Star Sword Order!"

"This item is the core of civilization. It can transform all territories at or below the second level into a subsidiary civilization of Tongtian Immortal Palace - Zhoutian Sword Sect!"

"Tongtian Immortal Palace is a ninth-level immortal civilization. Although Zhoutian Sword Sect is a subsidiary, it is also extremely powerful in the middle and low levels. It has the two characteristics of "stars" and "sword cultivation". It can transform the power of stars into a special resource, Zhoutian Star Stone, through supporting buildings."

"By consuming the Zhoutian Star Stones, you can train a special type of soldier, the Zhoutian Sword Cultivator, who has extremely powerful long-range attack capabilities and can also fly with a sword, causing fatal blows to territories that do not have no-air defense capabilities."

"The starting price is 10 million Dao points, and each bid cannot be less than 1 million Dao points!"

When the second lot was presented on the stage, everyone's attention shifted to Zhou Tianqi, one of the three main focuses.

"This thing was taken from his territory, right?"

"How miserable!"

"The Zhoutian Sword Sect is a subordinate civilization of the Tongtian Immortal Palace and is restrained by the Tongtian Immortal Palace. Since that person has such a great grudge against the Zhou family, he naturally dares not use it and can only auction it off."

"But who among those present is missing..."

"One thousand one hundred points!"

"One thousand two hundred points!"

"One thousand three hundred points!"

The shouting interrupted everyone's thoughts. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw many unfamiliar faces competing fiercely.

"These casual cultivators!"

"He calculated it all!"

"How could an orphan without a father or a mother, who was raised by Tongtian Academy, have such a scheming mind?"

"If it weren't for the restrictions of the Tower of Babel, the body possession method would not work, let alone reincarnation. I would have suspected that he was some thousand-year-old monster who had resurrected from a dead body!"

"Everything is calculated, every thing is calculated!"

Seeing this, people from all sides could only smile bitterly.

Although the main force of this auction is people from powerful forces like these, there are also some individual participants.

Under the promotion of Wanbao Pavilion, many individual lords with some wealth exchanged Wandao Points, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to get some bargains.

They naturally didn't dare to fight for something like the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner, nor did they have the strength to fight for it, but as for the Star Sword Order...

The big powers look down upon this kind of civilized items because they can produce them themselves.

But it is different for those civilian lords and individual lords. Although the competition on the reputation list is so fierce, with this mythical hero and that magic civilization, these are all matters on the reputation list, and only the chosen ones have the capital.

Many ordinary lords, even if they were promoted to the second level, still used ordinary dynasty civilizations such as Song and Jin. Top-notch legal civilizations such as Zhoutian Sword Sect and Netherworld Ghost Den were out of reach in their eyes.

Although forces such as Tongtian Academy would hold auctions every once in a while and release a batch of such civilized items, it was still rare for outsiders to get their hands on them. After all, every family had a few distant relatives and neighbors, or at least some cats and dogs, which had long been digested internally. Even if they occasionally leaked out, they would be sold at a sky-high price.

Therefore, such opportunities are extremely rare now, not to mention that Wanbao Pavilion has lowered the price a bit. The starting price of 10 million Dao points is definitely a good value for money for a magic civilization of the level of Zhoutian Sword Sect.

Although the starting price is not equal to the transaction price, his Wanbao Pavilion's reputation for benefiting the general public has already spread, which is bound to attract more lords to join his Wanbao Pavilion and Wandaodian's business system, allowing it to snowball and become bigger and stronger.

Such means may seem like commercial operations, but in reality they are a way of controlling people's hearts. They are comprehensive and watertight, and they want both fame and profit. Their calculations of people's hearts and their control of the situation have reached a terrifying level.

What kind of skills and scheming can a low-level lord who has no father, no mother, no home and no family, have?

Or is there some master behind the scenes who is trying to stir up trouble?

Everyone was silent, with a lot of thoughts in their mind.

A group of individual lords took advantage of this opportunity to quickly complete the fight, and finally bought the Star Sword Order at a price of 30 million Dao points.

Although the transaction price was three times the starting price, it was still great value for these individual lords. If they were not short of money and had a limited number of Wan Dao Points to redeem, they would probably have to compete for it and the price might even be raised to four times.

All parties watched coldly and allowed these individual lords to compete, and even Zhou Tianqi, the "victim", did not leave.

It's not that they don't want to leave, but that they can't leave.

Yes, they have the capital to suppress these individual lords and seize the Star Sword Order with their strong financial resources.

But what good will this do them? They don't need this thing, the most they can do is maintain a monopoly.

But if they continue to monopolize at this time, wouldn't that be fulfilling Wanbao Pavilion's wish and jumping into the pit dug by that person?
He had already planned it out, just waiting for these powerful forces to do it!
Once they do this, Wanbao Pavilion will truly gain both fame and fortune, and become a good business that benefits the general public and offers benefits to ordinary people, while these big forces will play the evil role of monopolizing operations, blocking channels, and preventing the general public from rising.

Although they are such characters, they are not afraid of anything except comparison.

It is the same now. Once they do it, the difference between them and Wanbao Pavilion will be immediately clear, and the gap will immediately widen. People's hearts will definitely be inclined to it, allowing more individual lords and civilian lords to join Wanbao Pavilion's business system.

In this way, the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion and the value of Wandao Points will be greatly enhanced, forming a virtuous circle, growing bigger and bigger, and becoming a behemoth and gold-devouring monster.

Therefore, they cannot fall into this trap and can only watch Wanbao Pavilion win people's hearts and reap both fame and fortune.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Although these powerful forces stand at the top of the Tower of Babel, the hundreds of millions of individual lords and civilian lords are also the cornerstone of the Tower of Babel.

After all, the mechanism of the Tower of Babel is there, with countless opportunities and endless possibilities. Individual lords and civilian lords may not be unable to make a name for themselves.

Wanbao Pavilion wants to take advantage of this and use these big forces as stepping stones to promote itself, thereby gaining the trust of the public, and then using the power of the public to strengthen itself.

If this continues, it won’t be long before Wanbao Pavilion’s reputation for quality and low prices, breaking the monopoly, will be deeply rooted in people’s minds, and Wandaodian’s business system will surely become stronger and stronger, impacting the market and encroaching on profits…

This isn't really an auction at all; it's clearly an attempt to dig out the roots of these powerful forces!

How to do?
Do we have to compete with him and engage in price dumping to squeeze him to death?

This is not a normal business war. No matter how low you push the price, he will at most not make any money, but he will never die. After all, if he doesn't make any money, he can still rob. So many territories of the Demon Abyss are his supply channels. With his strength, he can completely do business without any cost. It is impossible to squeeze him to death.

On the contrary, as a powerful force with such a huge size, the market is an endless pit. Once a price war starts, a large number of individual lords and civilian lords will surely flock to them, making them earn less profit for every product they sell.

They are probably unwilling to bear the final loss of quantitative change and qualitative change.

The most important thing is, can you keep fighting this price war?
It will eventually go back up, right?

After you go back up, he jumps out again. Alas, things are back to the starting point. He gains both fame and fortune, and you become notorious.

Originally, this problem was easy to solve, as there had been such clever characters before, but the major forces solved the problem with just a very simple method.

But this very simple method cannot be used on Wanbao Pavilion, at least not now, because this method is too simple, so simple that it only has one word.

kill!

If you can’t kill it, you can’t solve it!
so now……

Looking at the independent lord who bid for the Star Sword Order, and then looking at the second civilized item on the stage, everyone finally understood what the stone in the toilet was.

This auction, these Wan Dao Dian, and this orphan lord are so disgusting!
