Not long after, Lü Bufan sent a trade request.
What surprised Chen Han was that these guys actually had 100 million gold coins.
This made Chen Han have to re-evaluate Lü Bufan’s team.
According to his estimation, with the VIP6 strength of Lü Bufan’s trio, each person would have at most five million gold coins, which was already the limit.
“Looks like Lü Feihang’s esports team is pretty capable!” Chen Han raised an eyebrow.
Ling Xue nodded and said, “This isn’t surprising.
These esports players run dungeons every day to earn gold.
Besides that, they have plenty of ways to make money.
Their channels are endless!”
“Otherwise, why would Lü Feihang give up such a huge family business to pursue esports?”
“Mainly because the game [Doomsday Dawn] is just too popular.
Many players make money by ‘grinding’ inside.
If there really was a developer, they’d be profiting big time!”
The two sighed at Lü Bufan’s strength, but what they didn’t know was that in order to gather this 100 million, Lü Bufan and his people had practically sold off everything valuable in their storage.
At this moment, inside Lü Bufan’s manor, everyone was nervously waiting for Chen Han’s trade.
This was all their wealth!
If Chen Han changed his mind, their future days would be extremely difficult.
But if the trade succeeded, they would become overlords of a region in this world!
This was a high-stakes gamble!
[Congratulations to player “Extraordinary Life” for successfully trading with “Suit Thug”.
Storage is full, please remember to check your mail.]
Hearing the system voice, Lü Bufan let out a sigh of relief, his face showing wild joy.
“It worked?”
Lü Feihang and the others asked excitedly.
“Hahaha, Chen Han, oh Chen Han, trying to compete with me?
You’re still too green!” Lü Bufan laughed arrogantly.
Seeing Lü Bufan’s expression, everyone felt relieved.
They had secured the equipment!
“Old Lü, it had to be you.
You exploited Chen Han’s cowardly nature perfectly,” Li Chuanqi laughed.
“That guy is stupid too.
In the apocalypse, with resources and money, building a faction isn’t hard at all.
What enemies would he even fear?” He Dongfa sneered.
Lü Bufan waved his hand and chuckled.
“He’s not stupid—he’s cautious!”
“He hoarded tons of food and equipment, and he has the Doomsday Fortress.
As long as he isn’t besieged, he doesn’t fear for his life.”
“And he’s alone.
He doesn’t dare expand his team.
Doesn’t he fear inviting wolves into his home?”
“It’s exactly because of this that he could be threatened by me!”
As a businessman, he actually doesn’t understand the principle that ‘fortune favors the bold’!”
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again, especially Zhang Yanghui and the other esports players, who admired Lü Bufan’s methods greatly!
“But don’t be too happy yet.
We got Chen Han’s first-hand resources.
If we want to make big money, we have to bear the risks.”
“Feihang, contact the esports teams in Jianghai City and see if anyone is willing to join us.”
“Once we sell equipment at high prices, it will definitely cause a sensation.
We’ll be targeted by petty thieves.
We must expand our power now!”
After arranging everything, Lü Bufan began listing equipment on the Trading Market.
And this guy was ruthless—he multiplied the original price by two hundred times!
The changes in the market immediately caused an uproar.
When people saw the prices, they all started cursing!
“Fuck, who the hell is this ‘Extraordinary Life’?
How does he have so much newbie gear?”
“Another big shot?
Besides Suit Boss, someone else actually hoarded equipment?”
“He’s crazy!
A white item for twenty thousand gold?
That’s four times Suit Boss’s price!
Is he insane?”
“Compared to him, Suit Boss is definitely the righteous one.”
“Yeah, support Suit Boss!”
“This ‘Extraordinary Life’ guy is definitely ruthless.
Isn’t he afraid of pissing off the masses?”
“Does anyone know who ‘Extraordinary Life’ is?
Give me his address, I’ll go wipe him out!”
“Count me in.
Anyone who profits off national disaster deserves death!”
The World Channel was filled with curses.
This behavior completely enraged the masses.
As a result, those who cursed Chen Han instantly switched targets, all aiming their guns at Lü Bufan!
In contrast, some people even started supporting Chen Han.
Seeing the comments, Lü Bufan frowned.
He didn’t expect such a huge backlash.
Then he checked the trading messages.
Only a few people were buying his equipment, a sharp contrast to Chen Han selling out in seconds.
Clearly, the world did not accept Lü Bufan’s pricing.
“Looks like our pricing exceeded what people can accept,” Li Chuanqi said, face unpleasant.
He Dongfa nodded.
“Should we lower the price? You are reading on g.com, the official source.
At this rate, not only will the equipment not sell, our reputation will be ruined too.”
With no other choice, Lü Bufan had to relist everything, reducing the price to one hundred fifty times.
Yet still, no one bought anything.
Eventually, after lowering it to one hundred times, people finally began to accept it, and the equipment slowly sold out.
Lü Bufan and the others let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing 1 billion gold coins in their wallets, they were ecstatic!
With a cost of 100 million, they earned 1 billion in just a few hours.
It was insane.
“Come on, champagne!
Let’s celebrate!” Lü Bufan held a feast, taking out all the food dropped from killing zombies—piles of meat, eating and drinking to their heart’s content!
While they were celebrating, the Trading Market changed again.
Chen Han made another move, listing fifty thousand newbie items again, at the same price as before—50 times the cost.
Compared to Lü Bufan’s one hundred times, it was half the price.
Once the fifty thousand items went live, they were instantly bought out.
The World Channel exploded again.
“Holy shit, Suit Boss really is generous!”
“Suit Boss is righteous—still the original price.
I fucking love him.”
“Suit Boss is absolutely a role model of the Dragon Kingdom.
Amazing.”
“Exactly.
That ‘Extraordinary Life’ guy is disgusting, truly infuriating!”
Lü Bufan and the others didn’t know about this change, and even if they did, they wouldn’t care.
In their eyes, business is inherently deceitful, and profit comes first!
As long as they could make money and had strength, who cared about reputation?
They continued celebrating.
Only Lü Feihang sat quietly in a corner.
He watched the World Channel and fell into deep thought.
This commercial investment seemed successful, but it left behind immense trouble.
Originally, it was Chen Han who hoarded supplies and sold high-priced items, but now they were the ones bearing the blame.
In peaceful times, this wouldn’t matter—there were laws to protect them!
But in the apocalypse, such behavior was undoubtedly provoking public fury and placing oneself in the eye of the storm.
Yes, money could indeed attract talents and expand power!
But everyone knew the saying: “Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.” The bigger the tree, the more wind it attracts.
The unease in Lü Feihang’s heart grew stronger.
He felt as though he had stepped into a trap laid by Chen Han.
But he also understood that his father definitely knew about this trap—but the temptation inside was simply too great, and they had no choice but to step in.
Fortunately, for now, the benefits still outweighed the risks.
What they didn’t expect was that beneath the trap was a bottomless abyss Chen Han had prepared.
