I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 115 Gunara, the God of Darkness

"You didn't think about anything?" Jin Chao was puzzled, not knowing what Feng Moquan was talking about.

"It's nothing."

Feng Moquan said something, then looked at Shen Kang and couldn't help but ask, "Old Shen, is your life particularly enjoyable?"

"Feels good my ass, my head is killing me right now."

Shen Kang scrolled through the Yangbei Forum and casually remarked, "Neither 302 Study Room nor Xianyu.com are making any money right now; they're just spending money. Every day when I open my eyes, it feels like I'm seeing a bunch of employees reaching out to me for money. What's so great about that?"

"————" Feng Mo remained silent, thinking to himself, I wish I had the same kind of troubles as you.

He couldn't help but fantasize again, imagining himself complaining to Zhong Lin: "Every day when I open my eyes, it's like seeing all my employees reaching out to me for money—"

"Old Feng!"

Jin Chao interrupted Feng Moquan's reverie once again, "How many did you just collect? What were the prices?"

Feng Moquan snapped out of his daze and replied, "One sheet, I bought it for 2 yuan."

Jin Chao turned halfway around in his chair and looked at Shen Kang. "Old Shen, since your spare time website went online, more and more people have been flocking to it. Now it's hard for us to collect coupons, and selling coupons is also slower."

Shen Kang also stopped using the mouse, thought for a moment, turned around and looked at Jin Chao: "Old Jin, the rules have changed from now on. If you really want to do this, you have to change the rules. We won't sell now, we'll just buy. We'll start selling when you think the price of the trial vouchers has reached its peak."

Of course, this approach also increases the risk; you should think carefully about whether you still want to continue playing.

After pondering for a moment, Jin Chao asked, "Then at what price can I sell it?"

Shen Kang shook his head. "I really don't know either. Let me be frank with you, I'm doing this to find out what price range people are really willing to pay for the 302 study room. If I knew what the maximum price would be, why would I bother with this?"

"In the end, I was actually doing market research. Losing money doesn't matter to me; I can just consider it as the cost of market research."

But if you want to make money from this, you still need to consider the risks.

After listening, Jin Chao was a little worried, so he simply asked the question that worried him the most: "Old Shen, this trial voucher is always valid, right? You're not going to find out one day that you've investigated the situation and set a formal price, and then declare the trial voucher invalid, are you?"

Shen Kang reassured him, "You can rest assured about that. Since I've issued this trial voucher, it's definitely valid. Otherwise, wouldn't I be ruining my own reputation?"

With his biggest worry gone, Jin Chao finally felt a little relieved. However, he still needed to carefully consider the new gameplay and risks that Shen Kang had mentioned. So he nodded silently, "I understand."

He then turned back, lost in thought.

Feng Moquan saw all this and thought to himself, "Luckily, I'm smart enough not to have to pay out of my own pocket like Jin Chao did. Instead, I just work for Lao Shen and get a fixed salary. That way, I'm guaranteed to make money, and I don't have to live in fear like Lao Jin."

Seeing that Jin Chao had nothing more to say, Shen Kang continued browsing the Yangbei Forum's Yangke University campus secondhand section, eventually focusing on a particular post.

For Sale: A Dark Magic Wand Awaits Its Soulmate

When I clicked on it, I saw a picture inside, which was the same as the dark magic wand in the source image that Ma Liang used.

"Are there really people selling this stuff?"

Shen Kang was shocked.

Around noon, He Qiuzhu became quite interested in this thing and remembered it. He didn't expect that someone at Yangke University would actually sell it.

In addition to pictures, the post also includes item descriptions:

The Dark Abyss Black Magic Wand originates from the forbidden magical artifact of the Black Moon Queen, Xiaoyue, in the animated series "Balala the Fairies." On the night of a full moon, it reflects an eerie purple light and contains endless dark energy. It can summon dark creatures, unleash spells, and even reverse cause and effect and overturn time and space!

'

Shen Kang felt the smell was too strong, as if it was about to hit his face through the screen.

Continue reading the post; further text explanation follows:

Please note: This prop is a high-fidelity cosplay item, an official authentic product, not a real magical prop. Do not attempt any dangerous actions. Why didn't you say so earlier? ————

Forget it, Shen Kang was too lazy to even complain.

Then he looked at the poster's ID—Savior Li Luo.

He remembered this ID quite well.

Shen Kang had paid special attention to the posts in the Yangbei Forum's Yangke University campus secondhand section, especially those postsing frequently and buying and selling a lot of secondhand items. His purpose was to find an employee for Xianyu.com.

Although it's said that game developers don't play games.

However, when Shen Kang was looking for employees for Xianyu.com, he still wanted to find someone who was passionate about secondhand trading.

This savior, Li Luo, really loves secondhand trading. Shen Kang often sees his posts in the secondhand section, making him the student at Yangke University who trades secondhand the most frequently he's ever met.

"You're the one."

Shen Kang picked up his phone and dialed the number left in the post. After the call connected, a girl's voice came from the other end: "Feed?"

Shen Kang went straight to the point: "Was it you who posted on the Yangbei Forum, selling a dark magic wand?"

"—You want to buy it?" The other person's voice sounded somewhat surprised, as if they hadn't expected a boy to want to buy that thing.

"Yes, I want to buy it. When are you free?"

After discussing it over the phone, the other party said they were free right now, so Shen Kang arranged the transaction to take place at his home and the laundry room. He then got up and went to the laundry room.

When he arrived at the laundry room, the other party hadn't arrived yet, so he checked the laundry room's data first. He found that at 5:13 pm, the order volume had already reached the daily limit of 750 items, and they were no longer accepting orders.

Looking at yesterday's data again, the order surge occurred at 6:03 PM.

It seems that the distribution of trial vouchers by laundromats, and the current hype surrounding these vouchers, has significantly boosted laundromats' business volume.

Although Shen Kang drastically reduced the number of vouchers issued for the laundry room, customers were unlikely to notice because they were unlikely to do laundry very frequently, at most once a day.

Later gacha games reduced the probability of winning, so players had to do hundreds of gacha pulls to experience the benefits.

It's difficult to achieve that kind of obvious physical sensation in a laundry room unless someone is specifically squatting at the door to count everyone, and this person has to start squatting at the door to count the data the day before yesterday, so that there is a comparison and the probability of Shen Kang cutting off the door can be found.

But there isn't such a person. Therefore, customers don't notice the reduced probability; they only see the price of the trial vouchers constantly rising in the market.

After Shen Kang had a brief chat with a few employees, the savior, Li Luo, finally arrived.
