Chapter 639: Fire Underneath the Ice

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi made his move, and the price of the Sacred Potions in the Auction House fell abruptly again to 5 Gold Coins a bottle!

“Yellow Grass, Dragon Scale, Blood Coral, Blue Soul, Green Tranquility, Purple Hope....”

Panda-eyed Autumn Love was completely awake now as she murmured the names of a dozen herbs under her breath.

“The absolute minimum cost for making the Sacred Potion is 7 Gold Coins at the very least. This goes especially for the Blue Soul, you have to kill a Blue Quality monster, and even then there’d only be a very slight chance of it dropping. It’s always been really pricey, so how did the price drop to 5 Gold Coins? Just how?”

Autumn Love rubbed her eyes forcefully and stared at the price in the Auction House for a long while before she was forced to accept the truth.

Autumn Love did not miscalculate. It was true that it cost at least 7 Gold Coins to make a bottle of Sacred Potion, so since she bought them at 6 Gold Coins each, even in the worst case scenario, she would not sustain any losses.

However, this time... She was wrong because her opponent was Li Yi, not any regular player. If she tried to calculate her earning according to the conventional prices, she would definitely lose, and lose hard.

“So you’re willing to lose just to fight me? Fine, two can play at that game!”

Autumn Love calculated the costs for a long time, and no matter how she looked at it, she would earn. Therefore, she decisively bought all of the Sacred Potions in the Auction House.

The production costs were right there, so she would never a loss!

Li Yi continued to buy Sacred Potions. There was no end to the stock, and each bottle stayed at 5 Gold Coins apiece.

Autumn Love continued to buy them as well, but after three rounds, she was getting slightly stunned.

More Sacred Potions appeared at 5 Gold Coins a bottle, and she began to analyze the situation calmly.

It all came down to costs, costs, costs. That was most important, so it seemed that no matter what, she would not lose.

In that moment she hesitated, all the Sacred Potions going for 5 Gold Coins each at the Auction House sold out. Immediately after, she received a message from Brother Xian.

“Lil Autumn, I still have a few Sacred Potions here, 6 Gold Coins each. You interested?”

“Ha...”

When she received that message, Autumn Love nearly laughed out loud. Thankfully, she reacted quickly enough and covered her mouth.

“Brother Xian, I’ll buy as many as you have at 6 Gold Coins each, but I don’t have a lot of cash on hand right now. Why don’t you reserve them for me first? I’ll say it again, I’ll take as many as you have!”

Autumn Love began to sell all her Sacred Potions at 5 Gold Coins each.

She could not take it anymore. Although her calculations clearly showed that the selling price was clearly lower than the minimum costs, the way the seller kept restocking infinitely still scared her.

She would rather break even than make a loss!

Autumn Love’s way of thinking was right. There was no way she was going to take Brother Xian’s wares now, but she told him she would take it all. It was quite clear what she wanted to do; she wanted Brother Xian to buy her stock, so she would not make a loss.

As soon as Autumn Love put up her wares, Li Yi’s selling price changed as well. From 5 Gold Coins, it dropped again to 4 Gold Coins.

“Mama mia...”

Autumn Love cried, as in she really cried. She really regretted it right now. If only she had let go of her wares earlier, she would have earned. She had been playing with fire, and now she was burned.

“If I hadn’t bought some at 8 Gold Coins, I wouldn’t end up like this. I... Sigh, I...”

It was too late for regrets, however. It was too late for anything.

Li Yi bought the potions en masse, and after buying for two hours, he put all five thousand bottles that he had bought back on auction at 4 Gold Coins each...

The end result of this Sacred Incident was that anyone who had any Sacred Potions in hand, from the strongest bad*sses to the weakest rookies, could no longer sell any of their stock. Forget Autumn Love, even Li Yi’s hands were tied.

The market was temporarily saturated, as there was more than sufficient supply in the Auction House. Who would try to hoard the stock now?

The dozen main profiteers, with Brother Xian as their leader, stopped buying any more Sacred Potions. Their plan was very simple; they would rather make a loss themselves, as long as it meant that they could pull Black Autumn down with them.

Now, their mission was accomplished.

8 Gold Coins, 6 Gold Coins, 5 Gold Coins, 4 Gold Coins...

Autumn Love looked at her inventory full of potions and ran out of tears to cry.

“But costs, why? Costs? Why?”

That night, Autumn Love kept repeating those two words over and over again, non-stop, even past daybreak...

...

Li Yi settled the matter of the potions and then went back to drinking with the three girls.

He was not about to lose to them, so he let loose and drank to his heart’s content.

It was a pretty good day for him too. The Sacred Potions were such a boon for him, bought for 2 Gold Coins and sold for several times that. Besides, it seemed like this profit margin would last for a lot longer.

What a windfall!

When Li Yi drank with Fire Ice, even when looking at Fire Ice’s cherry-red face, all he could think about was the pile of glittering Gold Coins.

“Ice, you look really rich.”

“...Rich?”

Li Yi’s words caused Fire Ice to crack her mind over it drunkenly for a long while, but she still could not understand it.

At the end of this drinking session, Jiaojiao and Qian’er helped each other into the bedroom. Li Yi wanted to go in too, but Qian’er, who was drunk but not intoxicated, pushed him out again.

“Guild Master, let’s drink...”

Fire Ice went above and beyond today. Li Yi had always taken some pride in his alcohol tolerance, but upon drinking with Ice today, he somehow felt like he had lost to her.

“I... I can’t do this anymore.”

Li Yi burped and returned to his room.

All that alcohol had made him tired and sleepy, so Li Yi lay onto the bed and fell right asleep.

Moonlight shone into his room through the window, and all was silent.

...

The next morning, Li Yi woke up from his drunken stupor, and he massaged his heavy head as he walked out of the bedroom.
