I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 297: Chapter 215: Panic Buying and Conflict_2
 

“Mr. Jack.”

Dongyang and others bowed.

Chen Lun waved his hand, and the stacked round stools next to him suddenly levitated and arranged themselves in a circle in front of him. The nine players were first surprised, then consciously took their seats.

“Jack is getting more and more mysterious.”

“Peckish.”

“That move was pretty cool, I’ve already recorded it. I’ll post it in the group for the other beauties to see, wahahaha…!”

Dongyang looked at the gentleman with the black hat in front of him and exchanged glances with Chenxi and others beside him.

Most of the players in the carriage were members of their respective guilds, and the equipment and items they had purchased from Jack had already been consumed by the guilds. They needed to make another round of purchases, which was also in preparation for this mission.

The Consortium’s support for the guilds was increasing, so Dongyang wasn’t worried about spending money, but rather that Jack might run out of stock! He had already visited Jack’s estate more than once, but could never buy anything from Nun Floey.

Firearms, Mechanical Gloves, and ammunition fuel were fine but items in the hidden category were limited. They would only be produced occasionally, which was extremely frustrating for him.

And that limited stock, he also had to compete for with Chenxi, Doghead Gold, and others— utterly annoying.

Ding!

Golden Exchange appeared above Chen Lun’s head.

Dongyang and others immediately clicked on it, then entered a frenzied shopping mode.

Bombs, whether red or blue, just grab seventy or eighty of them first!

Firearms and Mechanical Gloves as part of the “Circus Set,” get dozens of sets to replace what the brothers in the carriage are using! Place more orders later and store them in the estate warehouse!

Red and Blue Potion Bottles, a must-have, buy!

Wow! The “Beef Power Bottles” in the hidden category finally officially went on sale too! Buy!

“Eh?! How come they’re gone?!”

Dongyang suddenly froze, just in the blink of an eye, the deep red potion turned grey and was no longer interactable.

Turning his head, he saw Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo looking at him with grins, their two fingers placed to their foreheads, saluting him.

“Goddamn it! Those Roaring Turtle Mountain folks!”

Dongyang was fuming, but with Jack sitting right in front of him, he didn’t dare to make a scene.

Soon, he noticed a new type of product that appeared in the hidden category. It was a series of oil paintings, each depicting the executives of the Circus!

Each painting had a different price, with those of Floey and Noah being more expensive.

Just as he was about to view them, the paintings of Floey and Noah turned grey. Dongyang hesitated slightly, feeling uneasy, then without thinking, he bought up all the remaining paintings of Golov and Barton.

Dongyang turned to see Chenxi and Wei Yin smiling at him slightly.

“Well played, you guys are really quick!”

“You’re the quicker one, Dongyang the great. You took all ten remaining paintings, should call you Quick Reflexes.”

Wei Yin laughed lightly as she spoke.

Dongyang’s eyelid twitched.

“When you address me, can you not add ‘the great’? It sounds like you’re calling me a Diva. And if I’m Quick Reflexes, then you’re the tank, acting all coy here, you old hag!”

Wei Yin’s loli eyes suddenly sharpened.

Clutching Noah’s painting, she threatened:

“Do you want to be castrated? I know where you live, I’ll get you offline…cough.”

Wei Yin glanced at Jack, noticing he was looking at the scenery outside the window.

“Just you wait, if I catch you!”@@novelbin@@

She lowered her voice and spoke with venom.

Dongyang was undeterred, and the two of them took their battle to the chatroom, where they started a series of arguments.

After a while.

The high-level players’ shopping was almost done.

Chenxi spoke up at that moment:

“Mr. Jack, I would like to purchase some Supernatural Knowledge.”

Her words pulled Dongyang out of the argument, and he quickly added:

“I want to buy Supernatural Knowledge too!”

As time passed, players from other guilds had begun to rise to Transcendents, and the large guilds were reacting with urgency, wanting to maintain a leading position by increasing the strength of the guild.

So representatives of the guilds such as Dongyang, Chenxi, and Doghead Gold all wanted to exchange for a batch of Supernatural Knowledge from Jack, to turn the guild’s reliable executives into Transcendents.

Although the Supernatural Knowledge from Jack was expensive, its advantage lay in its straightforwardness – the Consortium lacked everything but money.

Chen Lun nodded, understanding their silent plea, and smiled faintly.

“No problem.”

He waved his hand, and ten pathways of Supernatural Knowledge appeared in the hidden category.

This time, all the high-level players unanimously turned their attention to the Destiny Faction’s Beast Tamer. The reason being, Polaris had left a profound impression!

It was definitely a promising pathway!

But they quickly realized that after the Beast Tamer entry, it was marked “Limited Edition (3 remaining)”!

There were only three!

They had to get their hands on them!

This time, Dongyang with his Quick Reflexes managed to snap up two, while Chenxi only got hold of one.

Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo turned away empty-handed.

“Hehe…!”

Dongyang was inexplicably delighted, holding two pieces of paper in his hand, showing off a bit, then carefully put them away.

Chenxi and Doghead Gold gave him a contemptuous look.

Then they all felt puzzled. The other Supernatural Knowledge pieces were also limited, but there were more than a dozen each, so why were there so few from the Destiny Faction?

Chen Lun looked at their tangled faces, feeling helpless in his heart.
