Sequence Beyond: My Wife is a Mysterious Boss

5 gold coins?

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment. In the inner city, this amount of money was just the cost of a meal for him.

"Mr. Bai, that's a bit of a lame joke."

Ji Yun's smile faded slightly, and her eyes sharpened.

If he hadn't learned a little bit himself, he wouldn't have been able to recognize that complex [Spirit-Breaking Array].

He would definitely think this kid in front of him is a conman selling cheap goods as antiques.

"I'm not one to joke around."

Lin Bai shrugged, flicked his finger, and tossed the bright yellow bullet back into Ji Yun's hand.

"My master improved the core formula. Although it sacrificed 10% of the power, it also greatly reduced the cost."

"The cost is only 5 gold coins."

Ji Yun's fingers tightened suddenly as she gripped the bullet.

5 gold coins!

The genuine Soul-Breaking Bullet is a life-saving trump card, a luxury item; firing just one can cause someone to feel the pinch for half a year.

But if this thing costs 5 gold coins...

That's for a major power like theirs in the inner city.

It's just standard ammunition! It's a consumable!

Even the lowest-ranking gangs in the outer city, if they grit their teeth, can raise a gun squad capable of threatening low-sequence superhumans!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

If production of this stuff can keep up... it might completely change the landscape of Blackrock City!

Ji Yun took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her expression, and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

"What about production volume?"

He asked very directly.

Price is no longer the key point; the key point is how much of this stuff is available.

His businessman's intuition told him that this was a gold mine, and an open-pit one at that.

Lin Bai lowered his eyes, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, he was calculating.

With his current abilities, he could produce this thing every five minutes, like an assembly line.

However, we cannot make promises too readily; we must leave room for "hunger marketing."

They also need to set aside time to "restock" from the sewers.

After all, killing rats is also a physically demanding task.

"60 to 70 per day."

Lin Bai looked up and gave a conservative figure.

Ji Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.

Fortunately, it's not too exaggerated.

Sixty or seventy of them, thrown into the giant meat grinder of Blackrock City, wouldn't even make a splash.

But upon further reflection, he realized he was wrong.

But this is special ammunition designed for superhumans!

In a life-or-death struggle, it's over in seconds. Who would casually use this thing as a machine gun to mow down enemies?

This volume is enough to monopolize the high-end market!

"it is good."

Ji Yun made a quick decision, not even bothering to test its power—the complete loop couldn't lie.

How much?

Lin Bai smiled, a shy and simple smile.

He even employed cognitive manipulation, which to some extent influenced Ji Yun's perception of him.

"Young Master Ji also knows that alchemy is a money-burning business."

"Although the costs have been reduced, I still need to eat and save money to learn other alchemy techniques."

He held up three fingers, making a "seven".

"7 gold coins per shot."

"No credit allowed, this is a truly fair price."

The air was quiet for a second.

Cost 5 gold coins, sell for 7 gold coins?

Only earned 2 gold coins?

In the highly profitable industries of arms and metal refining, this profit margin is so thin it's practically charity!

Mr. Bai is a good person!

He's a moral exemplar in Blackrock City!

Looking at Lin Bai's face, which was filled with the hardship of life, Ji Yun felt a surge of emotion called "moved".

Even if he buys the goods at this price and then resells them at a higher price, they will still be in high demand!

"make a deal."

Ji Yun agreed quickly, fearing that Lin Bai might change his mind and raise the price.

In this kind of business with technological monopoly, the other party could have easily asked for an exorbitant price, but he didn't.

What does this show? It shows that this person is honest and trustworthy! They're worth getting to know!

"This is the deposit."

Ji Yun placed a gold card on the table with a sense of profound respect.

"500 gold coins, as a prepayment. I'll send someone to pick up the goods every three days. Call this number anytime if you encounter any difficulties."

He handed over a gold-embossed business card with the Sky Bank logo printed on it.

"Mr. Bai, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Ji Yun stood up and left gracefully with his two bodyguards.

His silhouette exuded a lighthearted air, as if he had just gotten a great deal.

The room returned to silence once the footsteps completely disappeared.

Lin Bai slumped in the chair and let out a long sigh.

His gaze fell on the gold card on the table.

His previously "honest and simple" expression instantly collapsed, and the corners of his mouth turned up wildly, almost splitting to his ears.

"Oh......"

7 gold coins per shot.

Ji Yun felt he had struck gold, believing he had met a "conscientious master" who didn't understand the market.

But he never dreamed of it.

The real cost of this thing is not 5 gold coins at all.

Instead... 50 silver coins!

The bulk of the cost is still the bullet casings and gunpowder. As for the most crucial "Spirit-Extinguishing Essence"?

Those are rat brains, sold wholesale in tons from the sewers, not only free but also useful for leveling up in monster spawns!

Cost 0.5, selling price 7.

14 times the profit! A 1400% return!

This is printing money!

"70 orders a day, daily turnover of 490 gold coins, net profit of 450+..."

"That's over 13,000 gold coins a month..."

Lin Bai muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a green light called "greed".

With this kind of money, what alchemy can't be bought? What potion ingredients can't be obtained?

Sequence 8? Isn't that something anyone can do?

"Ah-ya!"

Lin Bai suddenly jumped up, like a madman who had been injected with chicken blood.

"Take your big backpack out! Throw away all the junk inside!"

He ripped the trench coat off the wall with a flourish, exuding an air of heroic grandeur.

"I'm not sleeping tonight!"

"Let's get to the sewers!"

"Those aren't rats running around in there! They're our wild ATMs! Our walking gold mines!"

"Hurry up! If another stray cat steals one, I'll be heartbroken for a whole year!"

Aya looked at her eldest brother with a simple and honest expression.

Although he didn't understand what profit margin meant, he could sense that his boss was very happy.

It's a hundred times happier than finding half a can of meat in a garbage dump.

......

The entrance to Blackrock City's sewers reeked of decay.

Normally, this place is a forbidden zone for the lower classes, a synonym for filth and death.

But tonight, the three figures seemed like wanderers returning home, carrying the excitement of bandits descending the mountain, and plunged headlong into the darkness.

"Squeak—!"

In a dark, damp corner, several pairs of small, scarlet eyes lit up.

Several enormous, cat-like mutated brown rats were baring their fangs, staring greedily at the two reckless intruders.

In their eyes, these were two pieces of delicious meat.

however.

They were greeted by a chilling glint of a blade and a gentle voice that sent shivers down their spines.

"My little darlings, don't run away..."

Lin Bai licked his lips, his smile as bright as a pervert's:

"I'll borrow your brains for a bit, and then I'll burn paper money for you with a super high exchange rate."
