Chapter 35: Go Big or Go Ho
After realizing the severity of the situation, Xu Feng soon adapted to the change and began to make new plans.
Now that the appearance of Fire Resistance Potions had been revealed to the masses, there was no longer any need to conceal it further.
Additionally, his post had gone to the top 3 thanks to the extensive guide where players didn't doubt its legitimacy— courtesy of Herald Fist verifying and confirming the strategy from his frantic forum post.
'Everyone is following the guide precisely, with only a few variations in between and with so many other players confirming it's true. I doubt it would take much longer for soone to obtain the first clear achievent.' Xu Feng fixed his glasses slightly, analyzing the possibility of the situation.
As much as he wished to achieve a greater shock factor, players aren't foolish enough to not find a breakthrough soon, especially when so could have a stroke of luck and complete the dungeon through brute force.
While he was thinking that it was ti to give everyone the shock of their lifeti, Gentle Wind was ssaging him again.
Gentle Wind: Riverwood Town is experiencing an explosion in popularity. Many players from other regions are coming here en masse. Are you still confident about getting the first clear achievent?
Anonymous User: Relax, Gentle Wind. There's no need to worry much.
Gentle Wind: How could I not worry? Even without those potions, I heard so teams and guilds are reaching the final stage as well.
Anonymous User: Then let them achieve it.
Gentle Wind: ???
Anonymous User: It seems like you have misunderstood
from the beginning, Gentle Wind. You're only speaking of their progress in the Easy Mode. But the first clear achievent I'm guaranteeing is Hell Mode. Not Easy or Normal Mode. Let's get that clear.
"Hmm, she's not responding yet." Xu Feng checked the ti and realized a few minutes had gone by since there was a response. "So she really did misunderstand . Well, not that it was surprising anyway."
He was never the type to achieve so diocre results. If he were going to do sothing, then it must be a banger. The first clear achievents were amazing, but that also depended on the difficulty of it.
Everyone else was currently trying to obtain the first clear achievent on the Easy Mode level, but his intention had always been Hell Mode.
Therefore, he was never worried about others taking the first achievent on Easy Mode level.
After all, who would care about it anymore once the higher difficulty level was achieved by soone else. Matter of fact, their achievent and feeling of glory would soon turn to a feeling of sha.
A sha that could not be washed away because while they were celebrating like kings, another party had swooped in and accomplished greater results. Them acting like kings would instantly turn into a bunch of clowns, parading their pitiful achievent.
"Seems like Gentle Wind managed to recompose herself." Xu Feng muttered, reading her response.
Gentle Wind: Your intention and the contract of our deal was always about the Hell Mode difficulty?
Anonymous User: Naturally. Otherwise, why would I demand such a high fee?
Gentle Wind: Surely, you must be jesting... how can it be considered a high fee if you were talking about Hell Mode?
Anonymous User: Well, you're my first custor after all. And the first custor usually gets so privilege. Anyway, have your mbers reached the threshold of my requirent yet?
Gentle Wind: I was just about to ntion this to you. We're ready on our side.
Anonymous User: Great, wait by the forest and I'll arrange for my subordinate to et you there.
With that ssage sent, Xu Feng also started listing the inferior Fire Resistance Potions in the Auction Market.
Online Players: 6,875
Current Listings:
[Fire Resistance Potion x5]
Seller: Anonymous User
Starting Bid: 10 copper coins
Buyout Price: 3 silver coin
Ti Left: 12 hours
Since the value of the potions increased extensively thanks to Herald Fist, Xu Feng decided to raise the price.
Not only that, but he also purposely ensured that no one else would know how many batches would be sold, essentially enticing them to buy it as soon as possible, otherwise, they would lose their chance.
Go big or go ho, these players are now trapped in his little cages, having been psychologically manipulated into splurging more for their imaginary future success.
'Oh, Herald Fist, because of your actions for attracting so many players here. I hereby give you my thanks and listen to your request. Now empty your pocket and splash
with the money.' Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
Originally, he wasn't going to be that ruthless with the pricing.
However, with the influx of players arriving here, causing the difficulty to rise trendously for him to navigate, he decided to be ruthless.
anwhile, the mont he put up the listing of the potions, players nearby him started shouting in fervor.
"Hot Damn! The potions are back in the Auction Market!"
"What? Really? Holy smoke, it's actually back and this ti it's in batches!"
"This mysterious seller is really shrewd. Now that the potions are in high demand, they are going to make a killing again. 3 silver coins as the buyout price... I don't even have 50 copper coins!"
Seeing them shouting in such fervor, with so being envious, and others being frantic, Xu Feng was pleased.
He was anticipating the rapid fortune he was going to make so he decided to join in on the fun and entice them further.
"The seller might have listed it up because of the increase of players here, but knowing the potion is such a rarity. I wonder if this is the only batch or not." He shouted loudly, bringing the attention to others that this might be the only batch being sold.
"Right, who knows if there are going to be more?"
"Indeed, I tried to look for information and NPC stores in the area, but none of them have these kinds of potions."
"I ca from Greenbird Town, and they don't have these items either. Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled here."
As the players started to panic among themselves, Xu Feng equipped a mask that he bought from a vendor and began walking toward the forest at a calm and steady pace.
