My Chaotic City

Chapter 38 The Silly Trio

Upon hearing Zhen Deqiang's question, the master thief immediately felt guilty, but he remained calm and said, "The aunties are selling medicine."

This can't be kept secret. In fact, the group of medicine-selling aunties has become quite famous. Players in the wilderness leveling area will look for the aunties when they run out of potions. Presumably, Zhen Deqiang should know something about it.

"Selling medicine?" Zhen Deqiang frowned. "What kind of operation is this?"

Zhen Dejun walked up behind Zhen Deqiang, his face unfriendly as he glared at the master thief. He said coldly, "I gave you men, but that's not how you use them. Tell me the truth now, what exactly are you doing?"

The master thief's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if Zhen Deqiang and Zhen Dejun had come specifically to interrogate him.

He quickly said, "Guild Leader, Vice Guild Leader, don't rush, let me explain slowly. There's a mysterious shop in Li Hanqiang's Chaos City that sells basic potions, but the prices are 20% higher than in the system shop..."

"I know that. I even bought some stimulant potions from that mysterious shop. But what does that have to do with you ordering the old ladies to resell those potions everywhere?" Zhen Dejun continued to ask.

The master thief thought to himself that good days never last. He sighed inwardly and said, "As far as I know, Li Hanqiang has acquired a huge amount of gold coins. Any player who defends the city for him will receive a subsidy if they buy potions in that mysterious shop. I have already gained his trust and, under the guise of winning people over for him, I asked him for a permanent privilege of enjoying the subsidy. This is equivalent to being able to buy potions from him at a 93.6% discount from the system price. I then have the old ladies sell them everywhere to swindle him out of his gold coins."

"What?" Zhen Deqiang was taken aback, counted on his fingers for a moment, and said, "He's not stupid, why would he keep subsidizing you like this? Isn't that just losing money for nothing?"

The master thief smiled slightly: "Rich and stupid, that's exactly what Li Hanqiang is like."

Zhen Deqiang glanced at Zhen Dejun and asked, "Really? Is Li Hanqiang really that stupid?"

Zhen Dejun thought for a moment, nodded, and said seriously, "That Li Hanqiang is indeed an idiot!"

Zhen Deqiang snorted coldly, kicking Zhen Dejun and causing him to take ten points of damage, saying, "I think you guys are the idiots. There must be something fishy going on here!"

The master thief said, "Guild leader, why should we care what's strange about it? As long as we can make money, that's all that matters! These aunties may not be good at fighting monsters, but they're experts at selling medicine. They buy at a 9.36% discount and resell, which means they can make 6 gold and 40 silver for every 1000 bottles of basic potions."

Zhen Deqiang counted on his fingers for a while, then nodded and said, "That seems to make sense, hahaha, isn't this a way to make money? Divine Thief, how much have you earned?"

The master thief hurriedly said, "Boss, I've only just started, I haven't made any money yet."

Zhen Dejun said, "If that's really the case, wouldn't the more capital you have, the more you earn?"

His eyes lit up, and he said to Zhen Deqiang, "Brother, why don't I squat here and keep watch over the Divine Thief, and see if what he said is true or not?"

"Let's go together, you two brothers!" Zhen Deqiang also became interested.

Before long, all the women returned. The master thief collected the gold coins, counted them, and said, "I made a profit!"

Zhen Deqiang said, "You should hurry up and get more stock."

The master thief nodded, bought a teleportation ticket, and vanished in a flash. He returned a few minutes later, distributed the potions, and the group of middle-aged women happily set off.

This time, Zhen Deqiang, Zhen Dejun, and the master thief were squatting in the Chaos Temple, waiting.

As one of the major cities in the region, Tianfeng City has countless players, resulting in a huge demand for basic potions. In less than half an hour, the group of middle-aged women sold out and returned to the Chaos Temple with their gold coins.

Zhen Deqiang tallied up the profits, burst into laughter, and exclaimed, "How could there be such an idiot in the world!"

In fact, he had collected quite a few gold coins, and now he had more than three hundred in his hands. Wouldn't it be great if he used them to sell potions!

"Master Thief, you did a great job! Hahaha, keep it up!"

Zhen Deqiang patted the Great Thief on the shoulder. He had decided to stop leveling up for the time being and instead spend his time farming gold coins in the Chaos Temple.

Zhen Dejun shared the same idea.

Thus, Zhen Deqiang, Zhen Dejun, and the Divine Thief became the silly trio in the Chaos Temple of Tianfeng City. They squatted together, greeting the old lady with silly chuckles, and seeing her off with silly chuckles, attracting many players to stop and watch, who couldn't understand why.

Li Hanqiang's business here is booming with no initial investment. Not only does the notorious thief come to buy goods, but big business owners also frequently come, leaving him no time to grind robbery dungeons.

Now is the best time to sell potions. After a while, when the gold coins depreciate or players can make their own potions, this will no longer be possible. Li Hanqiang knew this, so he simply stood guard near the spacetime wormhole.

He also specifically contacted Dark Night Redemption, Fan Knight, and Ignition Sword Saint.

He also pulled Dark Night Redemption into the drug dealer team, but he was busy with a level 20 dungeon and couldn't spare the time, so he sent a priest nicknamed "Little Six" to buy the drugs.

As for the two idiots, Fanfeng and Fenhu, they were in a rather miserable state. They were guarded at their resurrection point by the Emperor Guild until they reached level 1, and all their underlings ran away. The two of them dared not stay in Tianfeng City and were now wandering in the wilderness. They probably wouldn't be able to find the Chaos Temple for a while. Although they wanted to become medicine dealers, they were powerless to do so.

And so, Li Hanqiang spent the most boring day until the afternoon, when Sister Pomegranate and her group of aunties couldn't take it anymore and started a strike, which finally calmed Zhen Deqiang and the others down.

At 8 p.m., Li Hanqiang visited the live streaming platform and received a few free "bird eggs" to give to Lin Banyue.

Perhaps fearing the leakage of information about his own Chaos City, Lin Banyue has now practically become a chat streamer. The live stream is a frozen spacetime wormhole, where he talks about game experiences and insights in a bland and uninteresting way.

She paid close attention to the [Chaos City Lord Challenge] and [Chaos Domination Tournament] mentioned in the system email, and made many speculations. Li Hanqiang was not very interested, and left after staying in her live broadcast room for less than ten minutes, and logged back into [Endless World].

After checking his storage space, Li Hanqiang was quite impressed. He now had a whopping 931 gold coins!

"This is true strength. Invincible, how lonely!" Li Hanqiang reveled in his own glory.

Next, he spent 900 gold coins to buy 9 basic arrow tower construction blueprints.

Saving up gold to upgrade the Heart of Chaos? Impossible, transforming the tower is the only way to go.

He decided to work himself to the bone tonight, not hoping to make it onto the gold coin challenge leaderboard, but just hoping to get through a few more waves of monster sieges.

Quickly, Li Hanqiang set up nine basic arrow towers on the Chaos Stone Slab. He also specially brought out ten demon teams from the Demon Mountain Cave to let them witness the miracle.

The ten demons team consisted of three green-haired demons pushing a small cart around in circles, while the remaining seven did somersaults and human pyramids, just like a circus troupe.

With his back to them, Li Hanqiang felt very confident and shouted, "Explode!" and began to transform into a tower.
