376 Fraudulent Smelting (1/2)

”Materials? The type that we collect?” Wang Yu turned to ask Fearless.

”That's right!” Fearless nodded his head.

”F*ck! This nuisance studio is really despicable ah!”

Initially, Wang Yu thought that Daybreak Studio was merely trying to monopolise the market for materials. Hearing Li Xue's words, Wang Yu understood what was going on. Daybreak Studio's ultimate goal was actually the medicine market.

Firstly, they would stock up the goods. When the game turned official and the prices of gold dropped substantially, they would increase the price of materials ferociously.

In this way, Daybreak Studio would have gained control of the pricing of both the medicine and the materials to make them.

Lastly, they would bring the Medium Grade Recovery Medicine which they stocked up previously back into the market. Even if Li Xue was the only one who knew how to concoct the medicines, she would still be helpless because of the vast difference in prices of materials and medicine. These despicable fellas from the Daybreak Studio would ultimately control the market.

Typical speculation and profiteering! How dirty!

Fearless laughed, ”That was why I got you to stock up some of the medicine…”

”Oh yes, my wife still keeps a huge pile of the medicine in the storehouse. After she gets off work, I'll get her to bring them out. Once we have the stocks, we can sell the medicine according to the prices of the Daybreak Studio.” Wang Yu said cheerfully.

”No need!” Fearless smiled as he shook his hand, ”We have a more vicious method. Don't forget that we did store some materials too.”

”Because the game went official early than expected, I doubt that the Daybreak Studio has more stocks than us. By making the price of the materials so high now, they are simply courting death.”

”So?”

”Wait! We will wait until they sell out all of the medicine they kept in stock. Once that happens, they will definitely use materials to blackmail sister Li Xue to work with them.” Fearless said confidently.

Li Xue added, ”They've already approached me. However, I've turned them down.”

Fearless chuckled, ”Seems like they have a decent number in stock. We shall let them have a sweet taste of success for a while first… Afterwards, we will watch them lose all their family fortune.”

After saying this, Fearless turned to Li Xue, ”Contact Frostblade later. We have previously stocked up a large quantity of materials for this medicine. We will not lose to Daybreak Studio in this aspect.”

After the Daybreak Studio finished selling their medicine, they could only use their materials as their backing power since they didn't have the means to produce the medicine. However, the Quan Zhen Sect also did invest a large number of gold in stocking up in the materials. Therefore, they wouldn't lose out to the Daybreak Studio in terms of quantity of materials stocked up.

The materials for the medicine were never anything rare. With this many gamers, the quantity of materials will definitely increase over time. The price will definitely fix at one point… On the other hand, the price of medicine will undoubtedly return to the sellers' market once the market stabilised.

Initially, Fearless intended to make a fortune together with the Daybreak Studio using the materials stocked up by the Daybreak Studio. Who knew that the system would go official in advance? This led to both sides being evenly matched. Ultimately, Li Xue was still the most important person.

Both sides had materials needed to concoct medicine. However, the Daybreak Studio's materials would only stay as materials if they couldn't sell them. On the other hand, Quan Zhen Sect's materials could be turned into medicine. This didn't include low grade medicine. Not only do other shops sell low grade medicine too, using the materials stocked up to make low grade medicine was basically a way to lose money…

All in all, the producer of the goods will always be the most important.

”Fearless ah, nicely done!” Wang Yu couldn't help but compliment Fearless.

”Ah!” Fearless replied, ”The only reason I can do this is because the people at Daybreak Studio are too despicable.”

”But we will offend many people by doing this right?”

Fearless blinked twice before replying, ”Is the Quan Zhen Sect ever afraid of offending others?”

”True!” Wang Yu nodded because he agreed that his teammates had always been a lawless bunch.
