Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

Then came "futures contracts."

To put it simply, it is the so-called "pre-sale" and "IOU".

What it means is that you pay the money first and take the IOU. When the flowers have grown, you can come back with the IOU to collect the flowers.

This was a normal business operation.

but···

Some people saw the business value in this and took action.

They began to sell "IOUs" at high prices, directly selling "IOUs" as tulips.

Flowers have a shelf life, but IOUs do not, which has led to enthusiasts selling everything they have to bid up prices like crazy, while others are also raising prices like crazy.

As a result, a tulip was sold at a sky-high price.

As time went on, people's emotions cooled and they realized that tulips were not worth the price at all.

then.

They began to sell the "IOU" frantically, and the price of tulips began to plummet.

This also led to many people who took over at high positions losing a lot of money, and even banks were not spared.

Many people used "IOUs" as collateral to borrow huge loans.

Some people also promised to exchange a tulip for a house.

Everything was ruined because of the collapse of tulips, and the entire country's economy collapsed.

···

And this was Zhang Liang’s plan.

He wanted to use the influence of the war to repeat the economic crisis and make Dihao go bankrupt completely.

only.

The tulip was replaced by Zhang Liang with crispy soybeans infused with sword intent.

This is the "medicine" that Zhang Liang just mentioned.

Perhaps soybeans are a naturally formed, unprocessed food, and have a structural difference from hand-pounded beef balls. It is much easier to inject sword intent into soybeans than into beef balls.

Zhang Liang injected sword intent into the beef balls, and the ratio of magic power consumed to magic power received by the opponent was 10:1.

The effect is extremely poor.

The ratio of soybeans reached an astonishing 1:1.

It is basically lossless transmission, reaching the level of ordinary iron.

Now is just before the war breaks out, and the situation is most tense.

This "medicine" that can enhance strength will surely become a hot commodity, achieving the same effect as tulips in a short period of time.

You know, this is a world where force is respected, and everyone knows that the so-called legal society is built on force.

Without force, the majesty of the law will disappear.

and so.

What Zhang Liang had to do was to highlight the powerful effect of soybeans, powerful enough to affect the outcome of the battle.

The empire's most powerful fighting force is the Ten Heroes and Bai Huo. Their existence is like a nuclear bomb.

Even if you don't use it, its mere existence is enough to be a deterrent.

At this time, if you have a method to mass-produce nuclear bombs, you will inevitably become the focus of attention of both forces.

The Empire does not want its deterrent power to be affected, and the dukedoms want to obtain nuclear bombs that can rival the Empire's, so they will bid high prices and bid frantically for this "method".

It is easy to understand here.

Anyone can imagine that as long as they can obtain this "method" and monopolize it during this period, they can make a fortune no matter how high the price they pay.

The nobility enjoys a unique social status and credibility.

In the early stages of this plan, as long as there were nobles involved, Zhang Liang could use less soybeans and sell them at a higher price at the fastest speed.

Now···

Something went wrong with Zhang Liang's plan.

Seeing the teasing guard lying on the ground with blood spurting out with a "Puchi!!!" sound, everyone present was stunned, especially Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang could clearly sense that among these three guards, the Ximao Guard was the strongest and most difficult to deal with.

Even though they were at the same realm, his personality was extremely dangerous, and every move he made was deadly.

He had intended to pretend to be injured, and when he was at a disadvantage and in dire straits, he would eat the crispy soybeans that were given as a gift when the food was packed in front of everyone.

Followed by.

Showing his explosive strength, he instantly killed the guard, in order to highlight the powerful effect of this "medicine".

In Zhang Liang's opinion, this plan was perfect, so perfect that it intoxicated him.

That's it...

He never expected that his perfect plan would go so horribly wrong.

Eh!

It's outrageous!

Suddenly, Zhang Liang seemed to feel that fate was trying to trick him by even letting others fail in such a stupid way.

If that were all, it would be fine.

There are still two guards left, which is enough for Zhang Liang to show his abilities.

That's it...

Zhang Liang had been wary of poison for more than ten years, but he never expected that this person would poison weapons.

Never mind that.

Without saying a word, Zhang Liang tore off the sleeve that had touched the blade and burned it using fire magic.

Judging from the way the guards were teased, this poison is indeed very dangerous.

Just a lick can cause so much blood to spurt out. If it comes into direct contact with the wound, the consequences will be disastrous.

Seeing the weapon just thrown on the ground.

Zhang Liang didn't think much about it. In the moment when everyone was stunned, he rolled over to the weapon and put it into his space ring, planning to dispose of it later.

All in all, the script is now a mess, and Zhang Liang frowned deeply.

The guy just licked it, and fell to the ground bleeding in less than 10 seconds, while I was stabbed but I am still fine. There is obviously something fishy.

What to do now.

It's too late to pretend to be poisoned now. Or rather, if I pretend now, it would be too deliberate.

Moreover, considering the amount of blood sprayed by the teasing guard, I don’t have that many blood packs prepared.

With this comparison, even a fool would know that he was not attacked by the poisoned weapon at all, and he was just pretending.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang made an impatient "tsk" sound.

The performance was a failure.

How can I make this work?

however.

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking about countermeasures, another guard suddenly turned and looked at Zhang Liang.

When Zhang Liang saw his surprised look, a bead of sweat broke out on his cheek.

Oops, found out!

However···

The guard pointed at Zhang Liang in surprise, and what he said shocked Zhang Liang.

"What kind of medicine is that? It's so effective! How come you're still fine after being poisoned by this?!"

???

???

ha? ? ?

Hearing the guard's words, Zhang Liang's eyes widened in surprise, and suddenly he understood.

From Zhang Liang's perspective, due to the principle of a guilty conscience, Zhang Liang subconsciously thought that he was exposed.

In the eyes of others, there is an information gap between them and Zhang Liang, so they naturally think of "medicine".

The guard's words shifted Niu Nai's attention to Zhang Liang.

Seeing that Zhang Liang was now in a weak state, Niu Nai didn't even think twice and directly ordered the remaining two guards:

"Hey! You two take care of him now!"

Faced with the current situation, they ignored the previous infighting and believed that now was the best time to get rid of Zhang Liang.

The guards who live on the edge of a knife don't like to put their fate in the hands of others.

If Zhang Liang took that magical medicine again, there would be no chance of winning for them.

Thinking of this, the two guards' expressions suddenly became serious and they drew their weapons.

Seeing their posture, Zhang Liang frowned and his brain was working frantically.

He was thinking whether he should take action.

In order to make the Dihao Society complacent, Zhang Liang also had a trick in his plan to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

In order to play the role of a pig, you must lay the groundwork for playing the role of a pig in advance.

That is what we call weakness.

In a duel between masters, they often deliberately leave a weakness to lure the opponent into attacking.

At the moment when the opponent attacks your weakness, you can counterattack him to achieve the effect of surprise.

And this tactic still works in business wars.

It would be nice to increase the effect of suppressing poison and make the drug seem more powerful.

but···

If you are too powerful, others will worry about you.

simply speaking.

If there are no weaknesses, the enemy will become very cautious and may even not dare to attack.

Merchants are cautious and cunning beings.

If you don't give them a reasonable and accurate weakness that convinces them and gives them room for maneuver, they will wait and see for a long time and only strike when everything is ready.

The longer the time goes on, the more variables there will be.

The most important thing is that the anger ignited by Zhang Liang will most likely be washed away by time.

Once Dihao calms down, they will deal with themselves in a rational and objective manner, and may even see through the traps they have set.

By then, Zhang Liang, who already lacks "human support", will also miss the "right time" and "right place".

Faced with this situation.

In just a moment, Zhang Liang thought of the solution.

Moreover, this plan is not only reasonable, but also more convincing, and can get rid of these two guards.

For Zhang Liang, a gamer, he knows several common methods to weaken all skills instantly.

one of them.

That is to increase the CD of this skill, which is the so-called cooling time.

At the moment when the two guards attacked with weapons in hand, Zhang Liang immediately took out two crispy soybeans and injected sword intent into them.
