The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 48 - Triple Win

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Triple Win?

Chapter 48 -48: Triple Win?

Could the Second Young Master Su have anticipated the hike in food prices?

So, he stockpiled a large quantity of food when the prices were still low.

And then last night, he leveraged a show to further boost his fame, launching a service for selling supplies.

He didn’t even emphasize food!

But after today, Jun Lin also promoted the challenge difficulty, albeit with the intent to help.

But I’m afraid that many Lords have been inspired to want to grow stronger and continue to amass troops, which also requires food support.

Now that all the food on the market has been collected by the company, food prices are likely to soar in a short period of time!

They might even reach the high prices from the first day!

Bai Yi’s gaze involuntarily drifted towards the large amount of Blood Flesh and the increasingly abundant rice in the panel.

“Maybe it’s not too excessive to sell a little bit of it…”

After all, the rice on the mountain has been sown long ago and is bound to be harvested before the cold disaster; if rushed today, rice fields within the territory can start a new cycle.

Moreover, with the new Endless Rice II, Blood Flesh can now be produced autonomously; rank one Blood Flesh is no longer a scarce resource to Bai Yi.

She currently has over two thousand four hundred units of Blood Flesh!

“I won’t sell it too expensive, just half the price of the first day, and I will still make a huge profit!

Hmm, let’s sell about 500 units every day.

If the prices really go up, I might also exchange some scrap metal and appliances with other Lords in the city.”

Bai Yi is still thinking about that signal station!

Electronic components, even with Advanced Resources Self-selection, cannot be replaced, and Bai Yi can only attempt to trade.

And by exchanging old electrical appliances, albeit possibly at a loss, she can also disguise her true intentions.

Of course, the harvested grains haven’t been finally counted, and Bai Yi won’t just recklessly put them up for sale immediately.

She still remembers that she needs to give a batch to Jun Lin.

Now that Zhan Yi and others are still busy, Bai Yi is not in a hurry to start the new seeding.

For the newly acquired seeds, Bai Yi plans to first use her superpower to mature a batch and see their quality before letting Nong Yi and the others judge how to plant them.

While waiting, Bai Yi opened the channel, wanting to see just how far the market situation has developed.

Rat: “My family’s food is almost out, and I can’t exchange it in the store yet. If I had known, I wouldn’t have sold it.”

Lulu Cat: “What the fuck, bro, you sold yours too?”

Skeleton Emperor: “Me too, me too. A few days ago, when I saw people collecting food everywhere, I exchanged some stones and wood hoping to stock up, who the fuck knew that food would run out like this.”

Rat: “So what do we do now, without food, not to mention recruiting new units, even getting by is tough, and we still have to do challenges these days!”

Eric: “If you have enough points, you can actually go to the mall and exchange for a Mushroom Breeding Box blueprint, only needing 1 unit of wood, to produce 5 units of mushrooms in 15 days, super profitable.”

Skeleton Emperor: “Damn, if I had that many points, I would’ve exchanged it already, plus that’s a solution too far away for our immediate thirst.”

Sister Ling: “If gentlemen really need food, our company can also spare a bit to support you.”

Lulu Cat: “For real?”

Heavenly Venerate Han: “Big-hearted company!”

Sister Ling: “Of course, our company also doesn’t have much food, we can gather the excess food from our subordinates to sell, but we can’t let them lose out.”

Sister Ling: “Young Master Su will also subsidize some of the food, including Blood Flesh, but the amount is limited.”

Sister Ling: “We’re all Lords from the same region, if the company can help, it will.”

Sister Ling: “We also call on other big shots who have food to support a bit; after all, we’re all Lords from the same region.”

Heavenly Venerate Han: “Young Master Su is truly the light of our region’s Lords! So righteous!”

Heavenly Venerate Han: “If other big shots were like Young Master Su, our Zone 33 wouldn’t have to worry about development!”

“…”

………..

White Poplar City Center

Su’s Sanctuary

Second Young Master Su stared at the channel, trying hard to suppress the upward curl of his lips, feigning seriousness:

“Rat, tell that Heavenly Venerate Han not to boast so much. Tone it down.”

Rat glanced at Second Young Master Su, thinking, you clearly enjoy watching this.

Clearly thrilled inside, yet pretending unwillingness…

But since he said so, Rat also sent a message to Heavenly Venerate Han:

Rat: “Just praise a bit more, otherwise, it’s too unbelievable.”

Heavenly Venerate Han: “Got it, Sister Ling!”

After exiting the private chat interface, Rat’s panel had already received many more private messages, all of which were inquiries about the prices of food.

While dealing with those, Rat started boasting about Young Master Su:

“Young Master Su, your strategy is really effective. Just like that, my private messages got swamped.

Hehe, reminding the ’employees’ to store food, while giving them the chance to list at high prices on purpose to cover our portion.

Externally, we only need to list a tiny amount of cheap food each day to show our generosity compared to the rest, drawing a good reputation from other Lords, making it easier for us to sell our own expensive food.

With this, everyone still praises Young Master Su for your generosity!

Helping the ’employees’ in the company, and also earning a good name in the eyes of other Lords…”

Young Master Su’s eyes narrowed, a smile he couldn’t hide clearly indicating he was quite pleased.

“Of course, those loners can’t possibly be in on it, knowing exactly how much we have sold.

How much food we have and whether it’s sold or not is up to us to dictate.

When the time comes to sell the hoarded food, we can reap gratitude from both sides.

Not only earning resources but also gaining reputation among the company and other Lords. This kind of double, no, ‘triple win’ plan, how could those so-called leaderboard big shots think of that!”

Externally it’s a win for all three parties, but in reality, only they know that it’s them who have won thrice over.

Second Young Master Su suddenly thought of something and restrained his smile:

“The next wave is the cold disaster. By then, building materials, especially wood that can be used as fuel, will surely rise in price. It’s still far away now, and nobody is aware of it, so we can take the chance to collect some.

I always feel that the cold disaster is no small matter; we should also pay attention to gathering our own resources.”

“Will do. By the way, Young Master Su, what if those leaderboard big shots really do sell food at low prices? Wouldn’t that ruin Young Master Su’s grand plan?”

Rat feigned concern, yet her hands didn’t stop moving.

“It’s only been a few days, even that mad Corpse King wouldn’t have much food to sell.

If there is any for sale, we’ll buy it, flip it and make another profit.

Remember to have our people make the move…”

……

Elsewhere, Bai Yi was also secretly astonished by everything happening in the channel.

Rat had already posted the price list.

Indeed there was the mentioned “cheap” food, which could be exchanged with just 1 unit of wood, but there were only a meager 20 units and just plain bread at that.

The variety of “consigned” foods was much richer, ranging from Blood Flesh vegetables to bread and pasta, everything available.

But the prices were much higher than the first day’s. 1 unit of bread would cost 30 units of stone or 20 units of wood.

Not to mention foods like Blood Flesh, which are used to recruit Advanced troops.

Periodically, someone in the channel would ask how to purchase, and Rat always replied with a “private message”.

Watching more and more buyers, Bai Yi felt like crying.

Let me earn a bit too!

“This won’t do, it’s too slow. I’ll also help out, quickly tally up today’s food and make a quick profit selling it!”

With that, Bai Yi hurriedly stood up and went to the temporary grain yard to help.

An unsigned confidential document (Scene/White): According to the message returned by the Arctic Team, the message is verified true, it has now reached that level, and will surely expand its territory significantly, please be well-prepared, the cold disaster is imminent…
