Civilization Paradise

Chapter 124 Taking a Gamble (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Eloya Eloya) (Third Update)
"No trouble at all! It only takes about ten minutes."

Snowflakes gently shook their heads in reply.

"Sigh~ I've already troubled you with the things that happened before, so I won't bother you with this little thing."

Long Ming sighed and politely declined.

"Okay, here's the umbrella. Be careful on the road."

Luo Xue handed the umbrella to Long Ming.

"Ah."

Long Ming nodded slightly, then left, holding his umbrella.

Luo Xue sat in the car, watching Long Ming's figure gradually disappear from sight, a faint smile on her face, and muttered to herself.

"He hasn't changed; he still adheres to his principles as always."

A moment later, inside the subway train.

Long Ming sat alone by the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside.

His expression grew increasingly solemn, and he kept replaying Luo Xue's words in his mind.

"Whoo~"

Long Ming took a deep breath and exhaled.

It seems that all of this, just as he suspected, concealed a secret.

I just don't know if this is the answer I'm looking for.

at dusk.

Long Ming took a nap, then went into the bathroom and took a shower.

He walked to the bedside, lay down, and put on the helmet.

shuh~
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the City of Stars.

Long Ming began to tally up the rewards from this dungeon run.

DK-01 Automatic Rifle - Shadow, Triangular Bayonet - Death Fang, 300 rounds of 5.56mm armor-piercing ammunition, 5 high-explosive grenades, Refuge ID Card (red), Faras's Physical Training Manual (white), Airo's Necklace (red), Airo's Diary (red), Extreme Ice Blood Crystal (red).

As for everything else, Long Ming threw it all away.

Longming opened the recycling interface in the store to check the recycling prices.

Asylum ID Card: 100W
Airo's Necklace: 100W
Airo's Diary: 100W
Extreme Ice Blood Crystal: 500W
Long Ming was also a little surprised that the price of recycling this Extreme Ice Blood Crystal was so high.

He pondered for a few seconds, then retrieved the first three items and listed the Extreme Ice Blood Crystal on the auction page with an initial price of 500 million.

Within seconds, it showed that someone had bid 500 million to participate in the auction.

Long Ming was also taken aback by this scene. Gene drugs don't sell for a good price, but people are buying the raw materials. It's really quite strange.

However, he didn't dwell on it any longer. He tapped the bracelet, closed the auction interface, and opened the store interface.

Long Ming browsed the items listed on the online store very carefully.

He originally planned to save up some money to buy a game pod, but after talking with Luo Xue, Long Ming changed his mind.

He is now planning to use his funds to acquire some items that may retain their value in the future.

Therefore, he began screening and storing the items.

A few hours later.

Long Ming selected five categories of goods: weapons, medicines, energy, defensive equipment, and food.

However, he has limited funds, so it is impossible for him to acquire them all.

Long Ming pondered which of these things, when the game changes in the future, would not only not depreciate but might even appreciate in value.
Suddenly, Long Ming's gaze fell on the category of drugs that were recovering rapidly.

The production of this type of medicine is not very large, but the market price has fallen. Currently, the market price is around 1 One-Dimensional Coins, and a small number of players are even listing it for 9000+.

The main reason for this situation is that everyone knows how to play now.

When ordinary players are running dungeons, they would rather die than use potions. Their first reaction after finding a potion is to put it up for sale in the cash shop.

Even if the price drops further, one potion is still worth the equivalent of 100 mountain coins, enough for an average person to consume for 5 days.

Currently, only the wealthy and guilds consume some medicine.

However, the guilds that are the main consumers of medicine also have very strict regulations regarding the use of medicine. After all, if they exceed the limits after a battle, they might not gain any benefits and could even lose money.

This led to a surge in the quantity of drugs and a sharp drop in prices.

Medicine is often the most crucial element in war, and normally, even if its value doesn't rise much, it won't depreciate too much either. But alas, it can be revived indefinitely!
Thinking of this, Long Ming decided to take a gamble and bet on future changes.

After all, business opportunities are often hidden in the shadows, and when they come into the light, the opportunities disappear.

Long Ming then opened his account to take a look.

He currently has 96130500 One-Dimensional Coins.

A resolute look flashed across Long Ming's face as he decided to start stockpiling supplies.

He immediately searched for fast-acting recovery medications.

Swish!
Rows of medicines were lined up.

Long Ming clicked to sort by price and immediately saw that the lowest listed price was 9400 One-Dimensional Coins.

His expression shifted as he looked at the price, then he clicked on his bracelet and bought the medicine priced between 9900 and 9500. He then listed a few more medicines for himself at 9300, to prevent large fluctuations in the market due to his purchases.

After buying a batch, Long Ming took out the martial arts manual and slowly acquired more items while reading it.

Three hours later.

Long Ming frowned as he put the manual away.

He felt that this method of collecting items was not working properly; he needed to keep a close eye on the online store at all times, since a person's energy is limited.

Thinking of this, Long Ming raised his bracelet and tapped to log out of the game.

Inside the rental house.

Long Ming took off his gaming helmet, picked up his phone, and found Xiao Pang's number.

He planned to ask this guy for help. Although Little Fatty had various shortcomings, he had found him to be quite reliable over time.

buzz~
The call was quickly connected.

"Hey, isn't this my brother Long? What brings you to call me all of a sudden?"

Little Fatty's voice came from the phone.

"Little Fatty, how have you been lately?"

Long Ming then inquired.

“Great, let me tell you, I’m not called Little Fatty anymore, people call me Fatty Master.”

The chubby boy replied with a grin.

"Looks like you're doing well. Which internet cafe have you been going to lately?"

"No problem, I always use Liangguang Internet Cafe."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Long Ming was about to get down to business with Xiao Pang.

Suddenly, I heard someone shout from the phone.

"Little Fatty".

"I have to talk to you now, I have some things to do, let's chat later."

Little Fatty hung up the phone immediately.

Long Ming stared at the disconnected phone for a few seconds, then opened a map to check.

It turned out that Liangguang Internet Cafe was nearby, so I put on my shoes, grabbed my coat, and left.

After a while.

The narrow alley was littered with garbage and sewage, while the shops on both sides displayed brightly colored signs.

Long Ming held his phone, looking at the map as he searched for Liangguang Internet Cafe.

His brows furrowed deeply. What kind of internet cafe is this that's hidden so well?

Fortunately, at that moment, he finally saw a sign for Liangguang Internet Cafe lit up under an old residential building.

Long Ming walked over and went through the open iron gate.

The pungent smell of smoke hit me in the face.

cough~
Long Ming coughed a few times.

Then came a cacophony of noise.
