Lu Yu had one hundred thousand soldiers under his command, far too many of whom were using outdated equipment and obsolete supplies.
There are way too many that can’t be removed.
What exactly is the purpose of this Stone City’s existence?
Lu Yu didn’t care about all that, but he knew this was a place where he could make a fortune.
This vast city has a population of billions; even a single southwestern district contains hundreds of millions of people.
The number of low-level warriors among them exceeds three hundred million.
Therefore, this is a huge market.
Before these warriors grew strong, affordable quality products held an absolute market advantage.
On the very first day, each shop had already sold three thousand Star Soldiers, a number that not even the several presidents of the Black Dragon Merchant Association had anticipated.
The highest privilege is merely level three, and the discount is just ten percent.
Even a star weapon like this costs two hundred and twenty-five million. After deducting a profit of five million per item, Lu Yu still makes a minimum net profit of two hundred and twenty million per item.
In other words, on the first day, Lu Yu earned more than 60 billion by clearing away unused items.
At dawn the next day, the three presidents of the Black Dragon Mercantile rushed over excitedly.
Because all seven thousand items they took away have been sold out.
If each item is worth five million, making hundreds of millions in a single day is no small feat. Judging solely by the speed of earning money, it is already not lower than those best-selling rare items.
This speed of making money exceeds their profits over several years.
This was still done under the condition that they secretly shipped out the goods behind the scenes, without daring to expand the impact.
Moreover, Left Lanfeng and others also had less than a few hundred items remaining in their hands.
In just a little over a day, the ten thousand Supreme Star Weapons distributed among hundreds of millions of warriors were like stones sinking into the sea, barely creating a ripple.
Lu Yu gave another ten thousand items to the Black Dragon Mercantile, and also distributed two thousand items each to Zuo Lanfeng, Zhang Shan, and Almond.
A president of the Black Dragon Association said excitedly, “My lord, at this rate, we should have no problem selling off around thirty thousand items before the impact spreads.”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Remember, there are too many people I don’t want to know about this. As soon as there’s any impact, stop selling immediately.”
“Rest assured, my lord. We do believe we can accomplish this much.”
Lu Yu bid farewell to the members of the Black Dragon Mercantile and, after a brief moment of rest, left the room.
It’s almost time to gather.
When Lu Yu arrived, he found that Xue Ji, King Zaisheng, and others had already returned.
However, what’s missing now is the Tyrant King.
The Silver Dragon King said, “Luo Mo attempted to challenge the Killing Space but failed. However, he survived. I heard he is the first person in Stone City to survive such a challenge. Even three experts with ninth-level authority have started paying attention to Luo Mo.”
The Rebirth King said, “Lu Yu, your strength is certainly not inferior to that of the Grand Lords and Great Generals. Why don’t you also try challenging the Space of Slaughter?”
The Golden Dragon King said, “Yes, give it a try. If you succeed, you’ll be able to sit side by side with the City Lord. If you defeat him again, you’ll become the king of this city, and everything here will be under your control. Perhaps then, we can finally leave this place.”
Lu Yu shook his head and said, “I don’t want to reveal my authority and identity before I can determine the strength of the killing zone and the city lord.”
Xue Ji looked at Lu Yu and said, “I heard yesterday that a large number of Emperor Star Soldiers are being sold around here. Is it you?”
“There are way too many ordinary Zun here; capitalizing on this point can certainly bring in a fortune,” Lu Yu said with a smile and a nod. “The reason I came here this time is also to discuss something with all of you.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu briefly explained the matter of the Purple Star ore: “If this Purple Star ore can be used to establish a powerful barrier, we might as well mine a large quantity and take it back with us.”
The Dragon King with Three Eyes said solemnly, “But only the City Lord knows how to construct the barrier. Are you planning to wait for an opportunity to challenge him, or are you thinking of seeking a chance to strike a deal with the City Lord?”
Lu Yu said, “Before my identity is exposed, I plan to use my abilities to make a huge profit first. At least I currently possess a large amount of low-level items that I can sell. Once I attract the city lord’s attention, I probably won’t be able to do this anymore. At that time, I’ll find a way to obtain the method for constructing the barrier.”
King Reborn said, “Yes. The city lord has too much authority. If he discovers you’re earning too much and then increases your authority, it might turn out disadvantageous for you.”
“Everyone, this time we’re counting on you all to leave the city and search for the Purple Star Ore. As for what you need, just give me the list. I’m making several billion a day now, hahaha.”
When Lu Yu talked about making money, he couldn’t help but laugh proudly, even surprising himself.
“What? Several billion a day? Are you robbing people?” This earning speed astonished the thirteen Dragon Kings.
Xue Ji couldn’t help but shiver slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a startled expression.
“There was an area that few people paid attention to, and since I happened to have the ability to control it, I decided to step in.”
Everyone immediately understood.
Just as Fangang holds a monopoly in certain areas of the real world, Lu Yu is doing the same thing here.
Everyone unceremoniously left behind some items they needed, which Lu Yu was responsible for collecting.
And they had gone out of the city to search for Purple Star ore.
With their strength, unless they are surrounded by a large number of Beast Kings, there is no one who can stop them.
By the end of the second day, the sale of Star Soldiers reached 20,000 units.
This has already drawn the attention of some experts.
The Black Dragon Merchant immediately let go, and Zhang Shan and others quickly stopped selling.
With two hundred thousand supreme star weapons, after deducting the payment to Zhang Shan and others, Lu Yu made a net profit of more than 450 billion.
And this was merely within two days.
Zuo Lanfeng and others have already earned so much that they can’t stop smiling.
The money earned these two days is equivalent to what they earn in a lifetime.
The Black Dragon Mercantile Association found the last two Poison Dragon Fruits in the city, while Zhang Shan and his companions also located the Soul of Blue Star.
Lu Yu earns quickly and spends just as fast.
More than 45 billion was spent in just one week.
Lu Yu currently still has over three trillion in his possession, holds four Poisonous Dragon Fruits, four top-grade Starlight Herbs, five Star Crystals, ten drops of Fire Liquid, and a large amount of other Star Treasures already given to Liu Xing.
Lu Yu also found the items that Yukiko and others needed.
This continuous spending has already spread information among some shops in Shicheng — a mysterious person is making purchases, buying up various top-grade items in large quantities. This immediately drew the attention of some merchants in Shicheng and even caused a surge in prices.
Lu Yu stopped.
He knew that once he acted in such a way, it would eventually lead to a surge in prices.
Now he has almost more than enough things coming his way.
During this period, Liu Xing has also used Xing Bao to earn several trillions.
During this period, Lu Yu learned more and more about the stone city.
Several other kings who entered with them had also attempted the Killing Space challenge, but all of them failed.
No one emerged alive except Luo Mo.
Lu Yu was not in a hurry.
During this time, he left this area and went to the other side of the city.
This city is like a country, it’s just too big.
Even if the prices of shops increase, the rise is limited to a specific area.
Lu Yu operated covertly in this area, using his connections to carry out several more transactions.
The number of Poison Dragon Fruits is not limited to just the four mentioned by the Black Dragon商会.
Lu Yu now holds eight Venomous Dragon Fruits in his hands and has also made several profitable deals.
Now he has accumulated more than six trillion Star Spirit Stones and over four trillion Star Spirit Beads.
When the prices in this area were still soaring, Lu Yu chose to leave once again.
In just six months, Lu Yu had already conducted transactions in all four areas—east, south, west, and north—of the city.
At this time, he had accumulated 100,000 Star Spirit Stones and 80 trillion Star Spirit Beads in his possession, all of which were genuine currency.
Ten Dragonfruit of Poison, this was the limit he could collect.
Top-grade Starlight Grass, ten stalks; Star Crystal Stones, twenty pieces; and Blaze Liquid, fifteen drops—
In addition, Lu Yu has also collected a large amount of auxiliary materials for crafting star artifacts, enough to successfully create a hundred of them.
Of course, among all these, what excited him the most was that he had collected two drops of genuine royal blood.
It’s not just Wang Blood that has not yet restored its peak power, but genuine Wang Blood—each drop worth 200 billion.
With these two drops of royal blood in hand, Lu Yu could now test whether the instability caused by adding royal blood into the star artifacts was due to the blood itself.
In half a year, the prices of rare items in this Stone City had risen by almost a third due to his influence.
Many generals and lords wanted to buy the items but found the prices soaring, which was caused by a mysterious person bidding.
They wanted to curse loudly, but couldn’t find anyone to blame.
In particular, the person involved seemed to have a high level of authority, making many people from major merchant guilds reluctant to reveal their identity.
An adult with ninth-level authority swept through the market of Shicheng like a storm.
Since the lords asked questions, the people from the merchant guild dared not respond, as only someone with level-nine authority could exert such pressure on them.
As for exactly who it was, no one knows.
Lu Yu, having accumulated great wealth and acquired numerous top-tier items, left the city for the first time and ventured deep into the mountains.
The mountains outside Shicheng are countless times vaster than Shicheng itself.
As Lu Yu entered the mountains, he felt that this space was even vaster than Earth.
How many wild beasts were actually hidden in these mountains, even he himself had no idea.
After Lu Yu entered the mountains and crossed just one mountain ridge, he was attacked by a wild beast.
Although a fierce beast mission six months ago eliminated a large number of wild beasts, their reproductive and growth capabilities are remarkably strong.
As soon as a beast spotted Lu Yu, more than a thousand beasts immediately surged toward him.
Some of them seem to have just barely left their childhood, yet their power has already reached five thousand zuns. It’s only been half a year, and they’ve achieved such strength.
Among these thousand beasts, Lu Yu could spot dozens of them possessing the power of ten thousand cultivators, and some even exuded a faint aura indicating a nascent stage of becoming a King Cultivator.
An unimaginable space. The deeper Lu Yu walked, the more densely he found the beasts’ dens.
Fights among herds occur from time to time, and powerful auras are even more numerous.
When he climbed over dozens of mountains, this place was unreachable for the city’s warriors.
Even if those kings as prestigious as generals like Wang Zun were to come, it would still be difficult for them to leave.
There is already the aura of Wang Zun here, and the quantity is considerable.
Lu Yu found it almost impossible to move forward in this area.
He had encountered several King-tier beasts.
However, beasts possess a slightly keener perception than humans.
These beasts did not approach Lu Yu to cause trouble, fully aware of the terror the human before them could unleash.
Not only did these few beasts refrain from attacking, but even many of the nests around Lu Yu were left empty.
“It seems that beasts are far more clever than humans.”
Lu Yu appeared in a mountainous valley, looking around and said, “This place should be undisturbed, perfect for my Venom Dragon King to evolve its power further.”
Lu Yu was very much looking forward to this evolution, eager to see just how high his toxicity could reach!
