397 Fearless’ Miscalculations (1/2)

”The Unavoidable Story regarding Twilight City's Convenience Store and black-hearted businessman Iron Bull.”

This forum post was posted anonymously. The post described the relationship of the convenience store and Wang Yu before exaggerating how Wang Yu's convenience store monopolised the industry using only the medium grade recovery medicine.

Lastly, the post continued to talk rubbish about how Wang Yu made use of time when the game was going official to bulk purchase the ingredients for the medicine. Wang Yu was written to have disrupted the whole market.

The person who published this post explained everything in great details. At the end of the post, he even inserted a video of how Wang Yu violently chased away the troublemakers in his store.

In just a few moments, this post charged right into the top ten most popular post on the forum.

The older gamers from Twilight City often shopped at Wang Yu's convenience store. They knew that the items in Wang Yu's convenience store were definitely priced reasonably as compared to the other shops in the neighbourhood. They were certain that someone must be behind this.

However, there was a great influx of new gamers after the game went official. In fact, these new gamers didn't even know who ”Iron Bull” was but they followed suit to curse him… Occasionally, there would still be a few who tried to defend Wang Yu. However, they would also be flamed together with Wang Yu.

”I've been to that convenience store! F*ck, they sell one bottle of medicine for 50 gold! They make me poor!”

”50 gold? F*ck, how black-hearted can they be?”

After the game went official, the prices of gold returned to normal. 50 gold was equivalent to 5000 dollars and one could buy a decent equipment with 5000 dollars. If the price was calculated like that, this convenience store was basically fraudulent, not just black-hearted.

However, what most gamers didn't know was the increase in the price of the ingredients used to make the medicine. The ingredients alone cost more than ten gold. Even if someone knew about the price of the ingredients used to make the medicine, the post pointed out that Wang Yu was the one who maliciously set it so high.

There would never be a short of morality professors on the internet. People could talk about unimportant issues for many days, let alone something like this which affected the interests of a few gamers.

After a while, the forum transformed from a debate of the skills of two top-tier experts to the crusading of one side.

The man of the story, Wang Yu, had no idea what was going on. He hadn't been on the forum for the longest time yet.

After coming offline, Wang Yu spotted Mu Zi Xian's enraged face.

”Too ridiculous, this is simply too ridiculous!” Mu Zi Xian banged the table as she talked to herself.

”What happened? Did your manager not give you your paycheck?” An inquisitive Wang Yu asked.

Today was the last day of the month and was also Mu Zi Xian's last day at work. This was the reason why Wang Yu thought her anger was work-related.

”No, go look at the forum!” Mu Zi Xian turned the computer screen towards Wang Yu.

”Oh…” After looking at the forum, Wang Yu touched his chin and said, ”Why should we bother about them? They're spouting rubbish.”

Mu Zi Xian replied anxiously, ”But these are venomous slanders and if this continues, our shop will be doomed.”

Wang Yu responded in a calm tone, ”You don't have to exaggerate! We priced our products extremely reasonably and those who threw slanders at us are not the ones buying from us… Moreover, with the quality of our products, we don't have to worry about sales.”

Wang Yu had no experience working in a society but this didn't mean he was dumb. He understood and analysed the situation very well. He knew that there was no point in panicking and that quality items would always be sold eventually.

Hearing the words of Wang Yu, Mu Zi Xian calmed herself down before replying, ”En, you're right.”

Presently, only Daybreak Studio and themselves sell the medium grade medicine. As of today, the Daybreak Studio no longer holds any stock of the medicine. Therefore, Wang Yu's convenience store was the only one that was still selling.

Back then, there were still people buying from Daybreak Studio even though the price was so high. Currently, Wang Yu was confident people would still buy from him.

While the husband and wife were conversing, someone was knocking on their bedroom door.

”Come on in, the door isn't locked.” Mu Zi Xian called out and Li Xue walked in.

”Brother Yu, Sister-in-law.”

”Little Xue, it's so late at night, what's going on?” Mu Zi Xian asked.

Li Xue answered, ”Daybreak Studio has re-opened their store…”

Mu Zi Xian instantly perked up, ”How is their business?”

”They are basically prospering.” Li Xue didn't describe the situation but from her tone, one could tell that Daybreak Studio's business must be exceptionally good.

”Wasn't their medicine all sold out?” Mu Zi Xian exclaimed.

Wang Yu furrowed his brows when he heard this news too. He started to feel that something was off.

”Yes, it was indeed sold out but it seems like they can concoct medium grade recovery medicine too.” Li Xue explained.

Wang Yu nodded, ”No wonder…”

The game had been official for one month so it was normal for someone to become a high grade Pharmacist. Moreover, the PVP contribution store would sell the formula for medium grade medicine. Even though it would be a little pricey, it shouldn't pose a problem for the Daybreak Studio. This was why it wasn't a surprise that they could concoct the medium grade medicine too.

”Seems like we can only ask Fearless to sell away the ingredients. This way, we can still minimise our losses.”

Wang Yu suggested after pondering for a while.

Li Xue replied with a worried expression, ”I'm afraid you can't do that. The Daybreak Studio actually bought over a large proportion of the ingredients in the market. The price of the ingredients is almost less than half of what it used to be.”

”This…” Wang Yu was instantly dumbfounded.

The ingredients were the Quan Zhen Sect's last resort. As long as they still had the ingredients, selling them would still earn them a huge sum. However, the Daybreak Studio actually went ahead to bulk purchase from the market, causing the price to decrease so significantly.

F*ck, Wang Yu had no choice but to admit that this move from the Daybreak Studio was much more ruthless than Fearless.
