Chapter 582: The Jar Smashing Ga
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The appearance of the gars made the lives of the residents of Venice more interesting. However, the livelihood of the Venice rchants was badly affected.
Why did the gars beco rchants? Most of them did it for money.
But the market was limited. When the gars made money, the Venice rchants would lose money. It was manageable if there were only a few gars, but the gars ca in large droves.
Though each gar earned a little, the cumulative effect was considerable.
Initially, the Venice rchants scoffed at the gars for not having factories and sources of goods. They even colluded against the gars by not selling them anything.
Most of the Venice rchants were part of the rchant Alliance, so it wasn’t difficult to impose sanctions on them.
But they weren’t aware that the gars had the support of factories that were manned by hundreds of thousands of gars.
The gars had a huge source of goods, and they depended on Lord Sherlock to purchase manufactured weapons, daily necessities, and even magical items.
The gars had a reliable source of goods, and they had advanced marketing knowledge. Hence, they captured an increasing market share in Venice.
For example:
A Goblin who was in an overcoat appeared to be overweight. He stood at the corner of the Beetlemon stop and lifted one side of his coat at the passersby. Then he said in a hushed tone, “Bro, do you want to read so books? I have the latest ‘Huanggang Secret Volu’.”
Then he was chased down the street by the Garrison Guards.
Of course, there were many gars who were doing honest business.
Like selling goods discreetly in the alleyways and evading taxes, doing door-to-door promotions, and buying in bulk to create a shortage before selling at a high profit...
But these practices waned off.
Those who resorted to malpractice didn’t last long.
The gars who lasted in business started as street vendors.
The peddling of goods in the west park was a declaration of war between the gars and the Venice rchants. The gars didn’t have such an intention, but that was what the Venice rchants interpreted it as.
In Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.
Sherlock, who was wearing his overcoat, sat in his executive chair while he listened to Evelynn’s report.
She inford Sherlock about the economic growth of Eternal Kingdom and the applications of various Guilds for their Guild lands.
The report was very comprehensive.
It wasn’t the NPCs who compiled the report, it was done by the gars.
The gars were very good with data and statistics. Sherlock published recruitnt notices for temporary statisticians on the official website. Many gars applied for the positions and imdiately started work.
Besides recruiting statisticians, Sherlock did a lot of howork.
It included playing computer gas and watching movies and television series.
What? Would anyone insinuate that Sherlock was slacking?
No, he was educating himself.
After a period of learning, he obtained valuable information.
“I’m implenting the paid jar smashing ga,” Sherlock explained to Bru.
According to the report, the gars were accumulating more and more Magic Stones, and a 20% tax was the highest limit that they could accept. The gars had many different thods to perform transactions that were outside of Eternal Kingdom.
These transactions weren’t taxable by Eternal Kingdom.
To Sherlock, it was... preposterous!
Implenting the jar smashing ga was the most effective thod.
“Lord Sherlock, have you thought about it carefully? If you implent this policy, you’ll be condemned,” Bru replied quickly.
“Condemnation? That’s a complint. They will praise for the great idea.”
Sherlock explained to Bru, “I have a comprehensive idea that is different from others.”
Sherlock accessed a docunt on his computer. That was the new content that he was going to publish on the official website.
Bru read through the docunt and praised Sherlock, “Lord Sherlock, you’re a genius!”

Peasant was very happy recently.
He was busy fighting monsters and leveling up. However, making money had always been his greatest weakness.
When there weren’t many gars, he relied on selling equipnt to make so money.
Initially, Eternal Kingdom was a closed system with few outside contacts. Hence, the goods were limited.
Since the start of the Second Beta, Eternal Kingdom started to trade with Winterfell.
After that, making money beca very interesting. There were many different ways to make money.
The gars could sell their equipnt. With the proliferation of various types of ga content, the gars were able to sell ornants, construction materials, daily necessities, music instrunts, and fashion items.
Moreover, there was a new supermarket in Venice, the west park.
To the rchant gars, it was a street vendor’s paradise.
Peasant wasn’t a rchant gar, but he earned a fortune in Venice like all other gars.
The wealthy Peasant decided to splurge. Besides purchasing items that he liked, he tried very hard to upgrade his equipnt.
Then there was an updated announcent on the official website.
There was a new jar smashing system!
Normally, the gars wouldn’t spend a lot of money to play the jar smashing ga, as it was a ga of chance. Most of the gars preferred the free jar smashing ga.
Peasant didn’t spend much on the ga. He only bought two jars but didn’t win anything. Hence, he wasn’t interested in the ga.
The gars were curious. Since the ga company wasn’t interested in earning money, why was the jar smashing ga introduced? Even if the gars bought the jars using Magic Stones, could the company exchange the Magic Stones for Renminbi?
Peasant was puzzled, but he didn’t take it to heart.
Then he noticed a gar who bought a few hundred jars and transported them to Venice using Darting Birds. The gar placed a hundred jars at the west park along with a sign that had the words:
“Jar smashing ga. One Magic Stone per try! The grand prize is 200 Magic Stones!”
More and more of Venice’s natives surrounded the gar to take a look...
