Guild Boss's Ambition

According to the current situation, I only have two options now.

The first option is to allow the Tree of Life to raise the price of food and watch them make a fortune.

The second option is to allow the stone houses to raise the price of stone and then watch them make a fortune.

Whether it is the latter or the latter, we will not be able to get any benefits.

From a rational point of view, I should support the increase of stone prices under the premise of reducing the gap as much as possible. However, no matter how I think about it, it is very unpleasant to use my votes to help others make money, which almost makes me want to perish with the stone house.

However, in the end, I followed reason and expressed my support for the rise in stone prices.

The voting results were as expected, with Stone House and I winning together.

Afterwards, I firmly told Miss Lan Nong: "This will never happen again!"

Miss Lan Nong smiled hypocritically: "Okay, okay, I won't do it again next time."

I thought my style was sinister enough, but I didn't expect that Miss Lannong in front of me was the one who was smiling but hiding a dagger. Compared with her, I was as cute as a jackal exposed in the wilderness, and she was a poisonous snake pretending to be green grass. I couldn't believe that there would be so many people in this world who like her.

Then we came to the fifth round.

During the discussion time, the fox sister Alan asked, "Cameron, would it be better for us to move the supplies?"

I kept a gloomy expression and replied, "No, the price of wood has already dropped to 0.5 gold. Even if it drops by half, it will only cause a loss of 0.25 per unit. Moreover, as the party that is obviously lagging behind, both the Life Tree and the Stone House should temporarily shift their attention away from us and focus on attacking the party in the front row."

The fox girl sister Yalian rolled her eyes and said excitedly: "And we can just take advantage of this opportunity to reap the benefits!"

According to the current situation, it is impossible for the Stone House and the Tree of Life to continue to cooperate. In other words, their votes will no longer be combined like in the last round. Therefore, we who hold three votes will definitely have the right to decide on a change in the voting round of the poster girl - the price of wood will increase by one gold!

So, in the fifth round, we did not transfer assets.

As planned, we successfully raised the price of wood by one gold in the poster girl vote.

From 0.5 to 1.5, that is a total of three times the profit.

At the same time, Miss Lannong of the Stone House also used their three votes to increase the price of food by one gold.

Did they buy the stone in the first round?

Then in the next round, they will transfer assets?

Wondering...

I always feel like something is not right...

I looked from Miss Lannon to my left and from Elizabeth to my right, and I felt as if I were being treated as dinner by a group of vipers.

My eyes twitched and my head felt a little overheated with anxiety.

If I'm not mistaken, the Tree of Life will start targeting food soon.

However, things did not develop as I expected.

In the fifth round of audience voting, Luo Juner from Tree of Life once again proposed to reduce the price of timber.

In this case, the Stone House raised the flag of a one-gold increase in food prices.

As a result, we are once again in a passive position. If we don't want to be weakened, we have no choice but to continue to give money to the Stone House, which is already ahead. Assuming that the Stone House purchased stone in the first round and then purchased food in the fifth round, if they pass this price increase motion, their total personal assets will become -

3333*4+1=13333 gold

13333/2 = 6666 food + 1 gold

6666*4+1=26665 gold

Twenty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-five gold!

And us?

We only have a pitiful 15,000 gold, not even half of what the other party has!

As for the Tree of Life, I currently have no idea what they are selling, so I cannot estimate.

Do not!impossible!

We can’t allow the Stone House’s food prices to continue to rise. Even if we reduce the price of our timber, we can’t let them get too far ahead!

What's more, even if the value of wood continues to drop to 0.75 gold, our assets will still increase this round.

I learned my lesson and decided not to be used by Miss Lannong again.

I am in favor of the Tree of Life proposal.

As a result, the price of lumber dropped by half.

The game has reached the sixth round and is almost coming to an end.

Wood and Gold Coins - 1:0.75

Food and Gold – 1:3

Stone and Gold Coins - 1:4

Gems and Gold Coins – 1:4

Magic Stone and Gold Coins──1:5.5

Looking at the latest price list of materials, I fell into deep thought.

Inopportunely, the two annoying sisters came to me again. The leader, Yalian, said, "Cameron, this is not a solution. Even though wood has a very high potential profit, Life Tree is now clearly determined to keep its eyes on wood. Should we invest in food and stone instead?"

It's too late...

The prices of food and stone have been driven up. With the funds we currently hold, we can only buy 2500 units of food or 1875 gems at most. That is to say, even if we successfully control the voting results, the profit we get per round will only be 2500 gold or 1875 gold at most. That is undoubtedly a very poor return on investment.

"Now is not the time to buy supplies. Before we sell off the wood, we must first lower the price. While doing this, it would be best to strike at our enemies as well. Judging from the situation just now, Stone House and the others should have bought food, and even Tree of Life may have bought food as well. Let's start with the food!"

Among the fox sisters, Alan is a guy without his own opinion, and although Yalian is opinionated, she lacks confidence. Although they are not very willing, they still act according to my instructions. We did not transfer assets in the sixth round, and specified a drop in food prices during the voting stage of the poster girl, which finally led to such a voting result.

Cut food prices in half: 5 votes (passed)

One gold increase in food prices: three votes (no)

In this case, the Tree of Life and the others should also be hit hard, right?

Unless, from the beginning to the end, what they held in their hands was not food──

……

……

22. Round (Cameron)

(Cameron)

Wood and Gold Coins - 1:0.75

Food and gold: 1:1.5 (originally 1:3)

Stone and Gold Coins - 1:4

Gems and Gold Coins – 1:4

Magic Stone and Gold Coins──1:5.5

After the sixth round of voting by the poster girls, the prices of goods in the market have been adjusted as above.

Faced with this situation, the three people in the stone house behaved very calmly. They were not the type like the fox sisters who had all their thoughts written on their faces. Among the three, the only one with a normal facial expression was Miss Anne. The rest were a girl with face paralysis and a black-bellied loli who wore a mask.

If possible, I hope food prices can drop a little more.

Will Luo Juner lead the pursuit during the audience voting stage?

Sadly, they didn't.

With unclear intentions, they blew the wind to increase the price of gold by half.

What’s even more bizarre is that Miss Lannong and the others actually agreed with the Tree of Life’s motion!

I peeked at Miss Lannon—

The black-haired loli gave me an evil smile.

Apart from timber, gold is our second most efficient investment!

Have they united yet?

Damn it! How did they know that we hadn’t transferred our assets yet?

If we just switched to buying gold coins, wouldn't that be equivalent to them giving me money?

Or……

Both of them have cash?!

When did that happen? Or was it a deliberate smokescreen?

Oh my god! I am so confused by these two!

Although I have a gloomy and snobbish personality, that doesn't mean I'm an extremely smart person!

"No! No! I need to calm down and not lose my composure!"

“Ugh… this is annoying…”

"If lumber prices go up, maybe we can still be saved?"

I suddenly thought of a famous saying of my family’s president: Idiots don’t need to pretend to be smart to do things.

In that case, let’s just mess around!

Under the worried gazes of the two sisters, Alan and Alian, I pretended to be calm and instructed them, "We will vote directly to increase the price of wood later. At this point, the Tree of Life and the Stone House are too busy to pay attention to us."

I spoke with great confidence, but the facts made fun of me.

At the beginning of the seventh round, the voting results of the poster girls were shocking.

Lumber price rises by one gold: nine votes

As a result, it turned out that starting from the fifth round, the three of us were holding timber.

When all three parties hold the same materials, all voting results become meaningless.

After the seventh round, the prices of goods in the market were adjusted again.

Wood and Gold Coins - 1:2.375

Food and Gold – 1:0.75

Stone and Gold Coins - 1:2

Gems and Gold Coins – 1:2

Magic Stone and Gold Coins──1:2.25

If I'm not mistaken, the personal assets of our three families should currently look like this.

Our side: 23750 gold

Stone House Power: 63331.75 Gold

Life Tree Power: 47500 Gold

The game isn't over yet, but we've already lost.

It’s such a simple strategy, why didn’t I think of it?

Both the Tree of Life and the Stone House had the same plan. Starting from the fifth round, they both pretended that they were holding other materials and secretly held the wood. Then, in the last round when the assets could be transferred, they drove up the price of the wood to a high level in one go. In this way, other competitors would not be able to snipe their funds in the next round.

Now, we have reached the eighth round, with only four votes left. Although it is not completely impossible to turn the tide, it is almost impossible to gain an advantage among these monsters. If my hunch is correct, someone will come out to lead the trend soon, and that person will most likely be Miss Lan Nong.

Sure enough, like a wolf among the flock of sheep, Miss Lannong stepped out slowly.

"Greetings everyone, I believe that sensitive people have already noticed it, right?"

The black-haired girl said with a mysterious smile: "The eighth round will be two lonely rounds. Even if there are two champions in this game, there is no need for two first place winners. For the fairness of the game, the three of us in the Stone House will not conclude a pact based on personal feelings in this round. Then, the two of the Tree of Life, should you also express something?"

Facing the challenge from the black-haired girl, Luo Jun'er of the Tree of Life stepped forward steadily and responded generously, "Your ideas are also ours. If we characterize this competition as a decisive battle between guilds, it would be too boring. Compared to an entire stone house, Miss Lan Nong, you are more attractive to me."

"Oh - so shy." Miss Lannon covered her face hypocritically and smiled, "Showing love in public or something."

It is very obvious that in the conversations at the Tree of Life and the Stone House, the fox sisters and I are no longer considered opponents of the same level, but despite this, they still need the help of the three of us. Even if the situation is hopeless, our votes still affect the overall situation. The question is what methods will they use to win us over?

If we, the disqualified ones, are left alone, the three of us will most likely resort to self-destructive revenge.

They have to give us hope so that we can lead the game in the next two rounds.
