Cosmic Trading System

Chapter 585: Chapter 554: The Rule of Deception

“Who established the rules of the Cosmic Trading System? They definitely want to gather all the rare resources in the universe at a low price and offer free shipping. I knew it, those super civilizations, those super warriors, it doesn’t make sense for them to create a Cosmic Trading System at such a scale only to make a loss….”

A glint of insight passed through Lin Yun’s eyes as he muttered under his breath.

However, it’s a willing buyer, willing seller situation. That’s just how business works.

If you can’t change it, you can only accept it.

“What? The third drop of Golden Essence Liquid can only increase thirty billion Spirit Crystals?”

Lin Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief quite rapidly.

He had thought that each time he sold a drop of Golden Essence Liquid, the next sale of Golden Essence Liquid could increase by fifty billion Spirit Crystals. This was already baffling enough, but it turned out to be even more baffling.

“Following this pattern, after I sell this drop of Golden Essence Liquid, the next one I sell could possibly only increase by twenty billion Spirit Crystals…” Lin Yun laughed in exasperation.

Are they seriously taking him for a fool?

“Perhaps, the increase in price is related to the fact that these drops of Golden Essence Liquid are being sold by the same owner of the Cosmic Trading System. Is the official predicting that the owner of a Cosmic Trading System who suddenly obtains a large amount of identical precious materials would be likely to sell it? If that’s the case, they’re really exploiting people to the extreme!” Lin Yun pondered thoughtfully.

After considering, Lin Yun decided not to sell the third drop of Golden Essence Liquid.

He planned to wait and observe this increasing price pattern.

Anyway, he wasn’t too short on Spirit Crystals at the moment.

*Ding!*

While Lin Yun was lost in thought, someone suddenly contacted him.

“Friend, do you still have any Golden Essence Liquid? If you do, I’d like to buy it at a high price!”

An owner of a Cosmic Trading System sent this message.

From the hint, Lin Yun discovered that this owner of the Cosmic Trading System was a customer who had just bought his Golden Essence Liquid.

*Ding!*

Almost immediately after, another similar message came in, this time from the first buyer of the Golden Essence Liquid.

“The price I sold at was already the max price allowed by the Cosmic Trading System’s rules, you can offer a higher price?” Lin Yun responded in surprise at the inquiring party.@@novelbin@@

“We could trade in real life. You could send the Golden Essence Liquid to my location, or, I could come to your place to collect it, or we could arrange a place to trade. In terms of price, the more Golden Essence Liquid you have, the higher the price I can offer, I promise you’ll be satisfied,” said one of the customers.

The other customer gave a similar reply.

“You can operate that way?” Lin Yun was momentarily taken aback.

Upon thinking about it, this kind of operation seemed rather feasible.

At present, the price of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System was noticeably low.

The future increase was virtually a certainty.

If they buy a large amount of Golden Essence Liquid at a premium price now and then sell it when the price of Golden Essence Liquid is higher in the future, they would make a large profit.

The more they buy now, the more they would earn.

This was quite similar to the stock market on Earth.

Perhaps, they might even be the ones driving up the price in the future.

“Perhaps, I should sell some Golden Essence Liquid to them at a high price now, let them drive up the price of the Golden Essence Liquid, and then I can clean up?” Lin Yun pondered.

However, Lin Yun soon dismissed this idea, shaking his head and saying, “No, these people are wealthy and probably quite powerful, they could potentially live for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, waiting for a few hundred or thousand years would be considered easy for them. Who knows when they’ll drive up the price of Golden Essence Liquid? In the end, I might be the one carried by them, and that would be a loss.”

Thinking like this, Lin Yun rejected the proposals of the two customers.

Soon after, two more customers contacted Lin Yun. After being rejected, no one else contacted him.

Lin Yun speculated that this was thanks to the Cosmic Trading System’s protection rules for instantaneous traders, which caused that apart from the buyers, others who did not pay attention at the time did not know the contact information of the person who sold the item in the Cosmic Trading System.

However, as to whether this protection truly served its purpose or if it was another intent of the official, Lin Yun wasn’t sure.

At this moment, Lin Yun harbored greater resentment towards the Cosmic Trading System.

Three days later, Lin Yun put the third drop of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

This time, the price could be raised by fifty billion Spirit Crystals.

This also confirmed that the longer the interval, the more the price would indeed rise.

Moreover, one cannot increase the overall price by a large margin through large gaps in between and then conduct a large trade.

Because, if the interval time is short afterwards, the price increase will become smaller and smaller. Even with the large early boost, it might not provide much advantage.

It might not be as cost-effective as selling one every once in a while.

Another week later, Lin Yun put the fourth drop of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

The price that could be raised this time was still fifty billion Spirit Crystals.

Ten days later, Lin Yun put the fifth drop of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System.

The price that could be raised this time was also fifty billion Spirit Crystals.

At this moment, Lin Yun realized that the Cosmic Trading System not publicly disclosing certain rules was a very wise decision.

It caused many Cosmic Trading System’s owners to ignore the rules, waiting around with a lack of patience to sell large amounts of identical precious resources in a short amount of time.

During this period, many Cosmos Trading System’s owners asked Lin Yun about the Golden Essence Liquid.

Nothing more than proposing to purchase it in real life.

The recent increase in the price of the Golden Essence Liquid made Lin Yun consider the idea of selling it to these people.

Because, the price that he was selling the Golden Essence Liquid at on the Cosmic Trading System was only over eleven hundred and twenty billion Spirit Crystals per drop.

The highest price offered by these people had already reached over thirteen hundred billion Spirit Crystals per drop.

If it weren’t for the fact that he owns a hefty amount of Golden Essence Liquid, and Little Gold over there could constantly refine more Golden Essence Liquid, he would do it.

Unfortunately, these people don’t know his current circumstances.

Allowing them to hold onto the Golden Essence Liquid and sell it when the price is high can’t compare to him holding onto the Golden Essence Liquid himself to sell when the price is high.

Selling it to them would involve trading in real life, which is troublesome. But the convenience offered now wins out.

So Lin Yun refused them one after another.

Three months flew by in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yun had sold twenty drops of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System in total.

Some had an interval of two or three days, some had an interval of several days, some could increase the price by twenty or thirty billion Spirit Crystals, and some could increase the price by a hundred billion Spirit Crystals. Lin Yun discovered that the longer the interval, didn’t mean the more the price could be raised.

Once, Lin Yun didn’t sell any Golden Essence Liquid for more than ten days, and as a result, he could only increase the price by thirty billion Spirit Crystals.

Later, Lin Yun only waited three days, and was unexpectedly able to increase the price by seventy billion Spirit Crystals.

This consequently left Lin Yun completely confused, unsure of the specific rules of the Cosmic Trading System, and feeling very much preyed upon by the rules of the system.

At first, Lin Yun had thought that the price of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System had already reached its limit.

Fortunately, a transaction later on and Lin Yun’s analysis of Golden Essence Liquid revealed that the price of it listed on the Cosmic Trading System is not its true value.

Now, the price of Golden Essence Liquid on the Cosmic Trading System has risen to over twelve thousand one hundred and thirty billion Spirit Crystals.

“Three more months have passed, and I still haven’t found any information about that Mingdu. Maybe, he’s already left this Star Domain…”

Lin Yun looked up, his gaze piercing through layers of starry void as he murmured softly.
