These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 83 The Second Batch of Blacksmiths Arrives (Please Read)

"Have a try!"

Some of them had already squatted down and started eating the mud and sand with their hands.

Some wild ones even buried their heads in the soil, humping them up and down.

Ning Zheng was receiving them at the door, and she didn't expect that they would have to eat dirt as soon as they came in.

I heard that they called this move "Old Man Pushing the Earth", one of the 18 Ways of Eating Earth that blacksmiths must learn, and I was speechless:
"I don't know how it became popular, but it looks so silly when you push the soil up."

Soon, after chewing for a few bites, these blacksmiths finally realized that they were human beings and spat out the dirt.

It tastes terrible and makes me want to vomit.

"Hahaha, idiot."

"I took the lead and pretended that I was eating, and you actually ate it."

"It's so funny, this seduction was successful."

"Hahahahahaha, this is so funny, hahahaha, my IQ is overwhelming, let me count, one, two, three, seven, with dirt in their mouths!"

"You beasts! Why do we start with a human being instead of a money boy? I want to eat the dessert mountain too."

"This is a lesson for you guys who are new to the villa! Jiu Cairong lied to everyone back then, but times have changed. Now you are just being tricked into eating dirt, which is already very good."

It seems that among this group of blacksmiths, there are also honest people whose reactions are slightly slow like the dizzy ones.

As for why these one hundred people are all human?

This is because Ning Zheng has a huge reserve of human meat tanks, so the Golden Money Boy tries to save as much as possible.

At this moment, they hurriedly tidied their appearance and pretended to be calm.

"Sir, we are here to work!"

“I’m super capable.”

"We are here to apply for a job!"

Ning Zheng nodded and led them in.

There was not much communication this time, but the most convenient method was used, with the old employees guiding the new employees.

Let other blacksmiths teach them how to do it, take on tasks, work, and forge iron.

Ning Zheng is actually not very familiar with the process, they themselves understand it best.

These blacksmiths themselves have also watched [queueing to log in] many times and can quickly get the hang of it.

They began to plan their favorite tasks, entered the corresponding buildings to help, and began to familiarize themselves with the environment.

But the areas where river monsters are raised have the most people.

There were crowds of people there, as if they were visiting a zoo, petting the river monster and studying this extraordinary creature from another world.

"So real."

"Stupid, it hits my cute spot."

"It's soft and warm. Hehehe."

"This river monster is so warm that it can be used as a sleeping bag. Do you have an underage one? The kind that's the size of an arm."

"Fuck, you're a pervert."

"You're the pervert. I'm talking about the hat! If you put on a cute little-eyed river monster on your head, wouldn't it be possible to cosplay as Slowpoke's evolved Hippo King?"

"Ahem, I was talking about the hat as well."

"Wow, this hat is so cute. I think it's super cool when I think about it."

One girl's eyes became starry. "I want a sleeping bag too. I've been wanting to say this before. There's nothing wrong with being a medical fairy! In this cute game, the river monster sleeping bag is super cute. It's not a real living thing, just game data, and it's a fur product. Why are you so disgusted? Look at the one that eats dirt. It's just chocolate that grew into dirt."

"That's right, you are just being hypocritical."

Some boys agree with this view:
"It's crow poop. Maybe it's just a delicacy that grows into poop. The game is not real. If we choose the dung beetle race, the diet will change, and crows may become a delicious airdrop sundae."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

It seems reasonable?

Wait, there are also some heavyweight bosses in this group.

I hope they are just like most people, who are stubborn and like to brag, and not be like the medical fairy who is serious about things.

"Go, go, go, fight in the dungeon, catch the river monster! Everyone has a baby river monster!"

The villa suddenly became lively.

Everyone walked around and had a great time.

Some people were so excited about winning a spot that they couldn't sleep last night. They stayed up all night until dawn and finally got to come to the villa to work.

Master Manor Master, I can finally serve you!

In the steward's room.

Zhang Huaping withdrew her gaze from the entrance of the villa outside the window.

Seeing those ragged humans frantically gnawing at the dirt outside the villa was an extremely curious sight, and something dawned on me:
"Today is the day to increase manpower on the mountain. Did the demon cultivators capture another group of innocent people to be slaves?"

But it looks like it has been almost domesticated.

The old steward came with a smile on his face and forced them to eat dirt at the gate of the villa.

I'm afraid it's a torture ritual, a torture to force the other party to give up their self-esteem.

How terrible?
You can tell at first glance that the training technique is very skilled!
Because they have so many ways to eat dirt. Some eat it elegantly like holding a wine glass, some eat it by digging, some eat it with their butts sticking out, and some eat it by crawling, which is so skillful, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have abused themselves like this.

After eating, some of them couldn't help vomiting, which shows how much torture they were going through.

cruel.

Too cruel.

She became more alert and silently turned her gaze back to Jiucai Rong in front of her:

"We have sold 25 of them. According to our estimates, there are about more, and the market in Pyeongchang will be saturated."

"Because we just got news that the noble children who bought the blind boxes will directly resell the excess weapons to other friends and will not hoard them for themselves."

After all, taking the high-end route will bring high profits, but the circle is small and the audience is low.

Of course.

The bigger reason is that things are about to get uneasy.

Many people do not choose to buy luxury goods, but are more interested in improving their combat effectiveness.

Although this disturbance will not sweep across the Sword-Forging Demon Manor deep in the mountains, it is basically the alternation of family forces and sects within Pingchang City.

Anyway.

The appearance of this weapon is a bit untimely, it would be more popular at any other time.

Even in times of peace, we can use ultra-long-distance formations to transmit materials once a month to another city for trial sales.

But now, it's impossible.

"Is the market saturation two hundred?"

Jiucairong did not doubt the other party's market research capabilities.

In a prosperous era that started with education, the business market must be extremely mature.

To be able to get this precise number, I'm afraid the shop owners have secretly conducted high-precision market research, even down to personal information.

By identifying each person based on their personal preferences and styles in the high-end young circle, we found that two hundred people might buy it.

It rolls up so fast!
Jiucairong felt deeply that this kind of partner was very strong.

Jiucairong thought about it and said, "The market is saturated with 200 pieces, but it doesn't mean we can't sell more if we operate it. We made it into a blind box specifically to sell more than the saturated quantity of market demand."

Zhang Huaping was stunned: "How is it possible?"

Two hundred people want to buy it, this is the market demand.

How can you force others to buy something they don’t want to buy?
Jiucairong said: "The blind box will give this weapon a certain degree of financial management attributes."

"We're only taking out 20 boxes, limited edition."

"We publicize that the production is extremely rare. We slowly keep them hooked, and then lead them into speculation and drive up the price."

Jiucairong explained it in detail.

The summary is two words:
Hype!

Zhang Huaping understood the meaning.

After all, this kind of middlemen are too common.

During wartime, the prices of spiritual rice, elixirs, and talismans will be driven up, and even the prices of certain materials will be raised, eating up the hard-earned money of the independent cultivators.

They are the group that casual cultivators hate the most.

Even now because of the unrest, middlemen have started hoarding, and undercurrents are surging.

But can the price of this weapon be raised like this?
Jiucairong shook his head. "The sealed blind boxes can leave a lot of room for second-hand dealers to operate, so that they can buy them and they will not instantly become second-hand weapons."

"They will snap up batches of limited edition blind boxes, hoard them and sell them as first-hand, even bid up the price, or pass them on to gamblers to buy them and bet on the big prize."

"After the market is saturated, our customers may not necessarily be those rich young men, but also those unscrupulous middlemen. We can induce them to take over a portion of the weapons and maximize the potential of this series."

But the blacksmiths didn't know how effective this trick would be, so they decided to give it a try.

Their sales target for this series is: 300.

"I see. Then do as you say."

Zhang Huaping didn't really understand these business methods, but she just understood the general idea and would tell the old shopkeeper when she got back.

I always feel that it is an amazing trick, and it makes the old shopkeeper amazed.

But it seems like hoarding blind boxes
Can it only be used in blind boxes?
Without thinking too much, she handed over the purchase brochure:
"See if you need anything. Recently, the price of ember supplies has dropped drastically. If you need anything, now is the perfect time to purchase it."

"Okay, please wait a moment, let us take a look at the brochure." Jiucairong thought about it and decided not to let Zhang Huaping go out for a casual visit this time, because there happened to be a group of active new blacksmiths.

Not calm enough!

Without any training, he learned to behave like a normal person, smile like a human, and keep a cold and serious expression.
That lively sand sculpture atmosphere might scare guests.

It doesn't fit the image of the aloof blacksmith in our villa.

"Please go to the infirmary and sit for a while."

Jiucairong remembered that the Medical Fairy seemed to have a strong desire to purchase the merchant's goods, so he told the other party that she could go there to kill some time.

The Medical Fairy is still very reliable at critical moments.

I believe that they will treat each other well and the girls will have a common language.
