Chapter 306 - Opening a Shop
At that moment, several posts had already appeared in the trading section one after another.
One of them was focused on selling food and was called Farmer’s Direct Store. It listed a large number of food items along with their prices.
There was also a shop called The Blessing of the Goddess of Radiance. It mainly sold holy water, and the shop owner was obviously Zhou Dai without even needing to think about it.
However, besides selling holy water, the shop also purchased various types of brains. The only requirement was that they had to be fresh. Zhou Dai could personally come and collect them, and the transactions were limited to players from the regional channel.
For organs and body parts like these, although they could be exchanged through the gacha machine, their properties would change during the process. They might even become damaged, making them unusable for future gacha exchanges. Therefore, Zhou Dai chose to handle these transactions personally.
Yang Yi looked through several examples. Although they were only prototypes, almost everything that needed to be included was already there.
So he followed their format and created a shop post as well.
"Surprisingly, it doesn’t even cost money," Yang Yi was somewhat surprised.
It seemed that this internal VIP account had even exempted him from the 3,000-per-month fee required to open a shop.
He created a post titled.
【One-Eye’s Premium General Store】
The name was simple, but the content was comprehensive. All the necessary information was clearly explained.
After that, he began creating posts inside the shop. The first one was naturally the store announcement.
【Mainly sells resource materials. Also sells weapons, equipment, consumables, and other items. Updates will be irregular. If you manage to purchase something, consider yourself lucky. 】
【Because the shop owner’s location is special, transactions may be delayed by six to seven days.】
【No bargaining. Occasional promotions will be held.】
For now, these were the only notices. The second floor/thread was where he listed the items he planned to sell.
The prices of the basic resources were all slightly lower than the market price. He had set up an opening promotion; otherwise, with his massive stockpile of supplies, it would be extremely difficult to sell them all. After all, the gacha machine had also provided him with a huge amount of basic resources.
The discount depended on the purchase quantity.
Starting purchase quantity: minimum 1,000 units.
Purchasing 10,000 units would grant a 5% discount (95% of the original price).
Purchasing 100,000 units would grant an 8% discount (92% of the original price).
The maximum discount was 92% of the original price.
High-level resources such as magic stones and sea silver were not included in the promotion, and their quantities were limited.
In addition, he would purchase crystal diamonds at the market price of 500 Shell Coins each.
Sellers with fewer than 10 units were not welcome because the transaction fee alone would make the deal completely unprofitable.
He was also purchasing top-quality enhancement stones.
After that, the third floor/thread was dedicated to the weapons and equipment he planned to sell. Most of them were firearms obtained from the Shelter Ship.
The opening promotion was simple: purchase 10 items or more and receive a 10% discount.
However, since Yang Yi had complete control over the prices of these weapons, whether the so-called "10% discount" was calculated from the original price or an already discounted price was difficult to say. Even so, it looked far more attractive.
Among them, the beam rifle was the main featured product, priced at 54,000 Shell Coins. Their conditions varied slightly, and they would be delivered during the transaction.
The beam pistol was priced at 21,000 Shell Coins.
Because ammunition for the assault rifle was limited, it was priced at 12,000 Shell Coins, with one magazine included.
The anti-materiel sniper rifle was priced at 120,000 Shell Coins, with one magazine included. This was because of its terrifying power, and there were only three available.
Fragmentation grenades were priced at 8,000 Shell Coins each.
Magazines were also sold separately.
An assault rifle magazine costs 300 Shell Coins each.
A sniper rifle magazine costs 1,000 Shell Coins each.
Their capacities were 30 rounds and 6 rounds, respectively.
As for the beam-cutting grenades and the revolver beam cannon, Yang Yi had no intention of selling them at all. He planned to keep them for himself.
After all, they were powerful weapon items with extremely limited quantities.
Besides that, there was also the Rat Hair Set.
This set was much cheaper and was not included in the promotion. None of its items were priced above 2,000 Shell Coins.
"Alright!"
Yang Yi spent nearly half an hour finishing the post. After all, he had to upload the details of every item and attach pictures as well.
Once everything was completed, all he had to do was wait for customers to arrive.
However, when he exited the post and checked the trading section, he discovered that two stores with almost identical names had already appeared.
They were.
【One-Eye’s Fine Goods General Store】
and
【One-Eye’s Premium Goods General Store】
The items they sold had absolutely nothing to do with him, and their quality was also far inferior.
"These two guys are really quick with their moves."
Yang Yi felt speechless.
There were many players on the forum impersonating him.
However, the public’s eyes were sharp. He couldn’t be bothered to report every single fake store to Song Yingwen. There was no need.
After everything was settled, Yang Yi waited for customers to arrive.
Very soon, the first buyer appeared.
It was once again Shen Guanquan.
"I want 100 beam rifles, 100 beam pistols, three anti-materiel sniper rifles, all of the sniper rifle ammunition, and all of the fragmentation grenades. Calculate the total price."
"As for magic stones, how many do you have? I’ll take all of them."
"Huh?"
Yang Yi was stunned by Shen Guanquan’s extravagance.
It seemed this guy had earned quite a lot of money again. He was almost becoming the type of super-rich customer who would say, "I don’t want this one item. Pack up everything else for me."
As for the firearms, Yang Yi could complete the transaction immediately.
However, there were only 92 beam pistols available, and he still needed to check whether there were any more inside the Garbage Swamp.
Sniper rifle ammunition was also relatively scarce. There were only 13 magazines in total.
The magic stones needed to be transported over as well. They were all stored inside the Shelter Ship’s storage space, and Yang Yi had only brought a small portion back with him.
Therefore, the transaction was scheduled for the next day.
Yang Yi planned to sell 10,000 units of magic stones.
Among the remaining 50,000+ magic stones, he would use 30,000 to repair the Shelter Ship. The rest would be kept as reserve supplies on the ship, as they could be used in many different situations.
After that, several more buyers arrived.
He sold 3 beam rifles, 6 assault rifles, and 20 magazines.
The remaining assault rifle magazines, excluding the ones bundled with the rifles being sold, numbered only a little over 70.
They were far from enough, but their advantage was that they were cheap.
During his free time, Yang Yi also uploaded the Prosthetic Grafting Manual to his shop.
Bundled with it were several human body parts, cyclops body parts, giant lobster body parts, and all of the Grafting Stabilization Pills.
The entire package was sold for 200,000 Shell Coins.
This was a skill book that could be studied repeatedly, and it had great potential. Although it was only of rare quality, Yang Yi still set the price relatively high.
Unexpectedly, the moment it was listed, it was immediately purchased.
The buyer’s title was Chef, and they were an anonymous player.
Yang Yi only cared about the money, not the buyer’s identity. He directly confirmed the transaction and completed the trade.
After all, this book recording the prosthetic grafting surgery was not very valuable to him. The skill effects were simply too weak.
After selling the Prosthetic Grafting Manual, the trading period also came to an end.
The amount of Shell Coins in Yang Yi’s account increased by another large sum.
However, it was still too early to celebrate.
Selling all the items he had obtained this time would require quite a long period of time.
He lowered the brightness of the Light Container to the lowest setting, then lay down on the bed covered with soft rat fur and went to sleep.
If he didn’t rest now, he would probably begin losing health points to compensate for his lack of energy.
The next day, Yang Yi slept for eight hours before waking up.
He checked his energy level and immediately frowned.
The side effects of Dreamwalker (Nightmare) had begun to appear.
His energy had only recovered to 59, and he was suffering from a severe headache.
"It seems I’ll have to rely on the fruits from that Vitality Sardine Tree to make up for this weakness… or drink sleeping potions regularly."
Yang Yi muttered to himself.
Then, he walked toward the Witch Laboratory, preparing to break off one of the Vitality Sardine Tree’s ‘legs’ and eat it.
