Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 23: The Ring of Thorns

Ling Xiao didn't chat with Ye Zhanqing for long before closing the chat window.

After discovering this unexpected delight and pondering for a moment, he decided on the price for the ordinary iron spear.

sixty.

It's a bit more expensive than a random equipment box, but compared to the price of machetes on the market, it's an absolute steal!

In terms of cost, it still costs two pieces of gray iron stone.

Even though the purchase price has risen to five copper coins due to the availability of goods, the cost of making an iron spear is only ten copper coins.

It is worth mentioning that diligent study and hard work will eventually pay off.

Putting quality aside for now, his success rate in refining has now reached 90%.

This batch of ore should yield about ninety iron spears!

Improving quality and raising prices would lead to a surge in profits, but Ling Xiao didn't think he was a truly evil capitalist...

bake!

A spark ignited between the hilt and the hand, then leaped up into a cluster of blood-red flames that spread across the entire blade.

A dazzling burst of light slowly swept across the scene, the murderous intent hidden within making the hairs on Ling Xiao's arms stand on end.

After burning for five seconds, Ling Xiao decisively ended the spell.

It hasn't been tested in actual combat yet, but for now, he couldn't be more satisfied.

The flames in the forging furnace slowly died down.

With renewed vigor, Ling Xiao stepped forward and found three more iron spears of ordinary quality.

Excluding those sold to Ye Zhanqing, there are a total of seven left.

Take inventory of the remaining inferior iron spears.

Eighty-two!

This time, one hundred portions of raw materials were used to forge ninety iron spears, resulting in an average success rate of exactly 90%!

After glancing briefly at the channels and shops, Ling Xiao felt much more at ease, but also became excited.

not enough!

The dozens of iron spears we sold earlier are far from enough!

The number of eager explorers is countless!

The chat in the channel almost always revolves around his own iron spear, and Lingxiao's shop has become a must-visit "internet celebrity" shop in District 61035.

There are definitely some people in there who are just jumping on the bandwagon and making a fuss.

But Ling Xiao quickly estimated the speed at which the shelves had been emptied in the previous few times, and then put his mind at ease.

A thousand of them would definitely be unsellable.

But one hundred is definitely not enough!

The frenzied consumer atmosphere will also spur some hesitant and undecided individuals to act.

Once I unleash the [Ordinary] Iron Spear, this powerful weapon, there will be very few people who can remain unmoved.

What are we waiting for?

Who isn't motivated to make money?

[Owl: "The fourth batch will be available soon, including 82 inferior iron spears, still priced at 30 copper coins; and 3 ordinary iron spears, priced at 60 copper coins. Welcome to come and purchase!"]

"Yay! Boss, I was just afraid you wouldn't sell! Someone dared to offer fifty yuan to take the lives of us slow-moving folks!"

"Okay...wait! What?! Iron spears have a common quality?!"

"Man! What can I say? A regular iron spear only costs sixty, Owl, you're a real man!"

"Damn it! I bought it too early! It's not that the cheap iron spear is bad, but the regular one is clearly more cost-effective!"

"Hey upstairs, why don't you sell them to me? I don't mind the quality. Why don't you go steal those three more?"

"@Owl, can we trade privately? I have some really good stuff, absolutely top-tier! You're definitely losing money selling a regular weapon for only sixty. Let's talk privately..."

"To be honest, I deeply regret my previous petty thoughts! And you, boss, you are the true hero!"

……

Those who were initially skeptical and harbored resentment instantly switched sides under Ling Xiao's simple "profit" offensive.

In fact, Ling Xiao had considered pricing it at 80 or 90 yuan.

After all, our product is definitely not a money-grabbing scam!

To put it bluntly, the final value of sixty was truly out of "public interest."

It might seem funny to outsiders.

But Ling Xiao felt that some ideals and aspirations, once lost, could never be regained.

Anyway, he made money, so what's wrong with being a "fool" for once?

We're not in a rush to put it on the shelves.

First, I'll blacklist all the shops that are reselling iron spears at inflated prices.

These people who took advantage of the situation to make a fortune were very clever, but Ling Xiao didn't like them.

A new item has been added: two types of iron spears are on sale at the same time. The former is selling out everywhere at a visible speed, while the latter sold out instantly after being put on the shelves!

The previous waves of popularity had made it a household name, and now the number of explorers rushing to buy the Iron Spear has not decreased but increased.

Caught up in this craze, Ling Xiao inadvertently prompted many survivors to take the first step.

My savings are soaring, and my friends have sent me messages.

[Bayi Cleaver: "Looks like everything's alright now, great job, bro! I really didn't expect you to grow so big! If I ever need to borrow money from you again, you'll have to waive the interest!"]

Ling Xiao saw the other person's nickname and was about to reply when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Let's take another look.

The latest novel is first published here!

lv5……

"Holy crap!?"

Ling Xiao was shocked as the most genuine emotions burst forth from between his teeth.

He kept reminding himself to keep a calm mind, to understand that geniuses can be found everywhere, and to develop steadily without being thrown off course.

Even if someone surpasses you, don't be anxious.

But this guy is simply... indescribable!

Is this even human?!

[Owl: "You're really something! Brother Dao, you should have already killed the level 5 monster, right?"]

[Bayi Cleaver: "Hehe! What a stroke of luck! I almost died with that guy, but luckily I won in the end! Are you alright? I was shocked when I got back."]

Send the information about the Illusionary Demon to the other party.

Ling Xiao had nothing to hide and simply recounted his experiences.

[Ba Yi Cleaver: "Tsk, troublesome. This thing is hard to deal with! It's made you like this. It seems to be more dangerous than ordinary mutants. A monster species, huh..."]

[Owl: "Oh, right, here you go! Don't be picky!"]

He planned to keep two of the four ordinary iron spears he had left behind as spares.

The remaining items were given to [August 1st Kitchen Knife] and [When the Forest is Deep, You See a Deer] respectively.

returning a Favour many times more.

The former was of great help in terms of both intelligence and start-up capital, and the latter, even if it was just a possible life-saving grace, was equally worthy of Ling Xiao's appreciation.

[Bayi Kitchen Knife: "Damn! I was just kidding and you actually gave it to me?! How much? Sixty is definitely a discount because you're being kind, I have to pay the original price!"]

[Owl: "We're all brothers here! Don't be so formal!"]

The other side stopped talking and then sent a piece of equipment over.

Well, Ling Xiao has figured it out.

This isn't just about thanking oneself; it's about showing off one's entire fortune!
