The masked fisherman-hatted man’s loud voice quickly drew everyone’s attention.

”Someone’s selling weapon-type items over there!”

”Looks like telescopic batons...”

”Only 10 points each?! And cash payment accepted?!”

”Holy shit! What kind of philanthropist is this?!”

Instantly, players who had been browsing other stalls rushed over.

The other stall owners who lost customers didn’t show any displeasure toward Lin Yu.

Because they all quickly packed up their stalls and ran toward Lin Yu’s direction too!

Weapon items priced at just over ten points - you’d regret missing this opportunity!

Within moments, over a dozen people crowded around Lin Yu’s stall.

”Hey kid, I’ll give you 15 points, cash payment!”

”17 points from me!”

”I’ll also pay 17 per baton... I want them all!”

”Who doesn’t want them all? Damn it!”

Lin Yu looked at the players’ burning gazes and realized he’d underestimated the allure of ’weapons’.

And these were just ordinary telescopic batons, not even proper blades!

The exchange rate was 1 credit point to 100 RMB!

In other words, 10 points equaled 1000 RMB!

The batons Lin Yu bought from the shopping street weren’t top quality, originally priced at 229 RMB each.

He bought fifteen at once, haggled the price down to 120 each, spending only 1800 RMB total!

Of course, this 1800 RMB was nearly all of Lin Yu’s savings at the time.

Lin Zhao hated seeing Lin Yu overworked with rehearsals and studies, refusing to let him take part-time jobs; Lin Yu also hated burdening Lin Zhao, unwilling to ask for more allowance.

Considering the low purchase price, Lin Yu had already set the selling price as high as he dared knowing how scarce ’weapon’ items were!

But he never expected...

”Nearly ten times the price, and it’s still considered too low?!”

”This is just an ordinary telescopic baton...”

But upon reflection, it made sense.

After all, having a baton in the Death Game might save your life at critical moments!

These people who experienced the Death Game...

None would think spending a few thousand for life insurance wasn’t worth it!

Soon, someone exclaimed in surprise.

”Hey wait... he’s selling potions too!”

”Let me see—’Agility Potion’, holy shit! These effects are insane!”

”Didn’t expect you’d have such good stuff, boss!”

[Agility Potion: After consumption, increases player’s reaction speed and mobility by 200% for one hour.]

Because the previous ’Fraud’ effect on Chen Zhuo worked, all these ’fake’ items had now become ’real’!

So when players picked them up, the game’s official blood-text descriptions naturally appeared.

Their eyes shone as they looked at Lin Yu.

”Boss, how much for these potions?”

Having learned from the baton pricing, Lin Yu—who originally planned to sell the potions at 3 points (300 RMB) each—hesitated.

He rubbed his chin and tentatively said: ”These are also... 10 points?”

Indeed, the 10-point price didn’t deter them but made them even more excited.

”I’ll take all of these too!”

”Fuck, stop hogging everything, selfish much?”

”Boss, I’ll pay 15 points per potion!”

As the commotion grew louder, they almost started fighting at Lin Yu’s stall.

Then crisp clinking sounds came from upstairs.

”Clink! Clink!”

Lin Yu looked up to see the well-dressed Harmony Brings Wealth man from before descending the stairs, still wearing his elegant suit.

The sounds came from him tapping two gold ingots together.

He said loudly: ”Quite lively here! Seems someone brought good stuff!”

The previously heated arguments instantly quieted as everyone turned to look at him.

”Tycoon!”

”It’s Tycoon!”

”You’re here, Brother Tycoon.”

Several familiar faces in the crowd greeted him respectfully.

Watching this, Lin Yu understood.

Indeed, the Harmony Brings Wealth man he met yesterday was the ’Tycoon’ mentioned on the forum!

And he seemed quite prestigious among these players.

After reading the forum guide’s advice to ”avoid revealing your identity,” Lin Yu had regretted exchanging contacts with this man yesterday.

Though he’d been cautious, using a burner account... it still increased his exposure risk.

But seeing how respected the man was, Lin Yu felt slightly relieved.

Though...

This ”relief” didn’t completely eliminate his wariness.

The man addressed as ’Tycoon’ approached Lin Yu’s table.

”So these are the treasures causing such a stir?”

”Just ordinary batons... Hmm? These potions are interesting!”

”But hardly worth such frenzy!”

Tycoon then looked at the crowd.

The fisherman-hatted man smiled and explained: ”Tycoon, the items are ordinary, but... he’s selling them way below market price! And in such quantity!”

”Oh?”

Tycoon turned to Lin Yu, pretending not to recognize him: ”What’re your prices for these?”

”My initial pricing was 10 points each, with discounts for bulk or cash purchases.”

Lin Yu answered truthfully.

Tycoon shook his head, fiddling with his phone: ”That’s too low... How’d you acquire so many items at once? Not easy.”

”Seeing they’re identical, probably from one dungeon—did your group collect them together? Or do you represent an organization?”

As Lin Yu prepared to respond,

Tycoon suddenly pointed at his phone screen.

Understanding, Lin Yu discreetly checked his phone underneath the table.

”Newbie, however you got so many items, you’d better claim you’re backed by an ’organization’!”

Lin Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He looked up gratefully at Tycoon and nodded slightly.

”I do represent an organization, though I can’t disclose its name... Our leader urgently needs funds, so we’re selling accumulated items... Hence my preference for cash payments.”

Lin Yu said calmly.

Tycoon pretended to ponder, then said:

”In that case, why not sell everything to me?”

”I’ll buy at 25 points per baton, 20 per potion—slightly below market price, but I’ll pay entirely in cash. Fair deal.”

He then addressed the crowd:

”After midnight tonight, I’ll list these on the forum’s marketplace at the same price—no markup. First come first served, one item per account.”

Hearing this, the players voiced no objections.

”If you say so...”

”Alright, we’ll do as you suggest!”

Tycoon turned back to Lin Yu: ”How’s this arrangement?”

”If your organization has items to sell in Jiangcheng, consider working with me—Tycoon—in the future. Deal?”

Lin Yu had no reason to refuse.

”Agreed, Tycoon—we’ll do as you suggest!”
