10241 Chapter 10240-

The other party was speechless.

Other things aside, at least from the current results, Lin Yis Ascension didnt improve their living conditions, but made them worse to a certain extent.

As the few of them were talking, there was a sudden commotion in front of the team.

A middle-aged man who looked like a manager with a big belly said with his nose up,Because our Chen familys stock is limited, from now on, the price of life crystals will be doubled. We have limited stock, so if you want to buy, do it quickly!

Everyone was in an uproar.

The price here was already twice as high as the original price, which was equivalent to three times the original price. Now that it was doubled, it was a full six times the original price!

The old man fainted on the spot when he heard this.

For an ordinary person like him, the original price was already the limit that his family could afford. Now that it had skyrocketed to six times the original price, his family could not afford it at all!

The problem was that life crystals were not consumer goods, but a necessity for survival.

Once he couldnt afford life crystals, the tragedy of the family of nine would be his familys lesson!

Lin Yi quickly held him up and sent some gentle Qi into his body.

The middle-aged manager looked at the old man and pouted,If you cant afford it, then dont buy it. Hurry up and go home to wait for your death, so you dont dirty this place, poor ghost.

How can you say that?

The surrounding people couldnt take it anymore.

Not only could the old mans family not afford six times the price, but many of them couldnt afford it either. Even if they sold everything they had and barely made it through this time, what about the future?

In the face of public anger, the middle-aged manager was fearless.This is the Chen familys private property, so we can raise the price however we want. If you bunch of paupers are not happy with it, you can choose not to buy it.

Ill say this now, but the stock of life crystals will only decrease in the future, so the price will continue to rise.

Todays price may seem high, but compared to the future, its still the cheapest price. If you dont want to take advantage of this, its the smart ones. Its up to you to buy or not.

His words directly made everyone speechless.

At least on the surface, they really didnt know how to refute it. After all, when it came to business, one was willing to hit and the other was willing to take. As long as it wasnt forced, they really couldnt find any reason to argue with it.

Lin Yi couldnt help but shake his head.

In the end, it was still because the sea had been in chaos for a long time, and everyones knowledge was limited. Any person from the secular world could immediately see the loophole in the other partys words.

The market was indeed about mutual consent, but when it came to survival necessities, it was not in the scope of free trade.

Especially in this situation where there was an obvious regional monopoly, the buyer had no right to negotiate the price. In the eyes of the seller, they were completely lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they would be squeezed dry.

In this case, it was difficult to solve the problem by relying on the buyer group alone. They could only rely on the intervention of a powerful third-party organization!

Seeing that everyone was angry but did not dare to speak, the middle-aged manager laughed nonchalantly,Of course, you dont have to buy it from my Chen family. Here, thats the shop of the official camp. The price is very cheap.

Hehe, can you paupers even buy it?

Everyone was speechless.

At this moment, the old man slowly woke up. Before he could speak, a middle-aged woman rushed over from the distance.Old man, your Xiao Xun er cant hold on much longer. The village doctor said that its been too long since hes been supplemented with life crystals. The childs body is too small and thin, and he cant hold on much longer. At most, he can hold on for another day!

Xiao Xun er

The old man almost pa.s.sed out when he heard that. He trembled and struggled to speak to the middle-aged manager,Mr. Manager, please do me a favor and sell me some life crystals to save my granddaughters life. Im begging you!

After he finished speaking, he knelt down.

The middle-aged managers lips curled up.You dont have to be so polite. My family sells this. How can I refuse a customer? Since youre in a hurry to buy it, how can my Chen family not help you?

Everyone looked at each other, but this was indeed a reasonable statement.

However, before they could change their minds, the middle-aged steward continued,But the rules cant be broken. There are so many people in line. I cant let you jump the line just because your family is in a hurry, right?

If you want to do things on a special basis, you have to pay a different price!

Its not easy for you at your age. How about this, Ill double the price I just said. Thats a good price.

The crowd was in an uproar. They looked at the old man with eyes full of sympathy. It was really eight generations of bad luck to meet such an unscrupulous merchant.

The old man gritted his teeth, but when he thought of his poor little granddaughter, he could only bite the bullet and buy an emergency kit even if he had to dig out all his savings!

But before he could say anything, Lin Yi helped him up,Uncle, dont worry. Isnt that official shop open? Ill Take You There to buy some.

Where can i buy it?

The middle-aged steward opposite him sneered,Where did you come from? Did they really think that anyone could enter the official shop? hehe, they really didnt know their place!

Let me make it clear to you, doubling the price is the current price. If you pa.s.s this village, there wont be such a shop again. At that time, if you ask again, you will have to double the price. Think about it before you decide.

The old man hurriedly said,buy, buy, buy! Ill buy it now!

He didnt care about Lin Yis dissuasion and stumbled after the man. Before he left, he said to Lin Yi,Young man, I know youre doing this for my own good. Thank you, but my granddaughter cant afford to take the risk

There were sighs.

The bystanders could empathize with him. Today, it was the old man who was specially taken care of, but tomorrow, it might be them.

In a weak position, they were destined to be sucked dry. Each and every one of them could not escape from being squeezed dry. The only difference was whether it was one day earlier or one day later.

Lin Yi looked at the old man, not stopping him.

As an old man, he had no other choice. After all, this was his granddaughters life. He couldnt possibly pin his hopes on a stranger like him, right?

However, todays trip was for real.

Lin Yi turned around and left the group.

Not long after, the middle-aged manager curled his lips in disdain when he saw the old man walk out of the shop with a fist-sized Life Crystal.

Their entire fortune is only enough to buy the lowest quality life Crystal. Its not even enough for one person to smoke for seven days. What a poor old man. Serves him right!

After he finished scolding, he turned around and asked the attendant beside him,wheres that blind brat? This kind of hothead is stirring up trouble everywhere, sooner or later hell be a disaster. Find someone to lock him up, and if we cant squeeze anything out of him, just kill him.
