Chapter 309: Chapter 198 Upgraded (Part 1)_1


    As an interster civilization with the presence of gods, the influence of the gods is very terrifying.


    Previously, with sects acting as an intermediary, the influence of the gods on the secr world was buffered, and the will of the gods was tranted once by the sects, greatly reducing its impact on the world.


    But now, the voice of the gods resonates directly in the ears of the believers, and the will of the gods directly assaults their consciousness, turning them instantly into spectors who only purchase special items to resell at high prices.


    An enormous number of spectivepanies were established overnight, and a futures market for rted special goods was set up. Each future, once listed, would be snatched up quickly, and its price would surge in an instant.


    And after participating once, some believers discovered that this process of making money was too fast.


    Do nothing, just resell the items for a 20% profit; a 4 million buy-in could be flipped for 4.8 million without even touching the merchandise.


    Generally, fields that make money quickly are covered by criminalw, yet here was a way to make money even faster that wasn’t covered by criminalw.


    The previous record transaction price of 300 million faith was already astronomical, but as more people joined in, this record was broken daily. Some utterly useless special items were even spected to billions, with a continuing upward trend evident.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The wealthy were crazily amassing fortunes with this scheme, and themon people were no exception.


    The more astute began pooling funds. By scrimping and saving for a week, themon folk could umte a hundred faith, which could be used as a share to pool funds. Forty thousandmoners could then attempt to queue up to buy a special item, which could then be flipped for two hundred or even five hundred faith.<div>


    But what to do when there were more pools of funds than special items avable?


    The more intelligent ones emerged.


    They devised a pre-order scheme.


    Although there were no goods avable, we are pre-emptivelymandeering future supplies to trade, and when the items finally arrive, we will deliver them.


    Even if it requires waiting for a few years, we have already made arrangements with the Heavenly Lord’s Angel Envoy, so there won’t be a failure to deliver.


    This basic gamey was only one of many. As the trading market continuously expanded, various bizarre trading schemes began to appear. The original pre-order scheme no longer satisfied everyone’s appetite.


    After all, no matter how many pre-orders there were, theboratory’s production capacity was just so high, managing a hundred per day at full effort. However, the demand across the entire Heavenly Taowork had already reached millions.


    yers didn’t notice this issue at first, until Pingping on Car Star was surprised to find that the recent food prices had soared.


    Car Star was an agricultural, and there was a Food Lord as a real-world interferer, so their demand for imports was low, spending most of the time exporting food to the warriors fighting against the Shadows.


    However, due to a temporarily stable front line, when Pingping wanted to sell some food, she discovered to her surprise that food prices had quintupled.


    Upon checking the price situation in other areas through the Heavenly Taowork, Pingping found that prices in most regions had started to skyrocket, yet far from any civil unrest, people were spending generously.


    Taking a spaceship to thergestmercial nearby, Pingping found the ce to be peculiarly strange.


    As a port city, there were usually arge number of merchant ships docked, and the endless stream of merchants from various ces made it look very lively.


    But now, the harbor had be eerily quiet, seemingly on the verge of recession.


    Unlike the quiet harbor, however, the residents seemed especially happy.


    Their faces beamed with joy, each little creature watching various data on their personal terminals and asionally whooping with delight as the numbers rose.


    Shops closed, usually out of business, and in the only open bar, the Octopus bartender cleaned sses out of boredom, but kept his eyes glued to the screen, watching the data.


    When Pingping rode the Food Lord and Maine Coon into the ce, the bartender just nced at the two cats and a mouse and said, “Wee, would ice water suffice?”


    “Why only ice water?” The Food Lord asked in surprise, “Didn’t you have over three hundred kinds of cocktails and various delicaciesst time I was here?”<div>


    “Out of stock. By the way, there’s some food left in the fridge, can you cook for yourself? If you make one for me as well, I won’t charge you. It’s been more than ten days since Ist ate.”


    “How did you survive?” Pingping asked curiously.


    “How many legs do you see I have?”


    Upon discovering that the Octopus bartender only had two legs, Pingping understood how he had managed to survive.<div>


    There wasn’t much material in the fridge, but it was enough to whip up meals for several people.


    Maine Coon didn’t wait around, directly opening the fridge and quickly preparing arge amount of food for herpanions.


    Enticed by the savory smell of food, the Octopus bartender finally shifted his attention from the screen to the food and started eating heartily.


    After a few bites, his legs began to sprout, though only tender shoots.


    Having eaten his fill, the Octopus bartender took a break from monitoring the data, then turned to observe the visitors.


    After scrutinizing them for a while, he confidently stated, “You guys came from an agricultural, didn’t you?”


    “Yes, how did you know?” Pingping asked curiously.


    “Now, only people from agriculturals are soposed. We’ve been obsessed with stock trading recently; my assets have tripled. It’s just a pity that I didn’t mortgage my bar at the start, I would have earned even more.”
