It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Cheng Gujian said seriously, "In my opinion, the price of Poseidon Stone may not continue to rise, but normal price fluctuations are inevitable. Even the prices of cattle, sheep and grain traded between the people will change every day, right?"

"Then I won't care?"

These words dispelled many of the little queen's worries, and her brows finally relaxed.

Of course, there is another meaning to this statement. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible, right?

Cheng Gujian nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with this idea.

"That's fine."

Dongfang Xiao also nodded, "It turns out that you are reliable, Grand Duke... By the way, I asked you to send a letter to Xu Shi saying that you wanted to meet him, why haven't you received a response yet?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Shi's reply only arrived two days ago. I have been so busy with official duties recently that I forgot about it for a while."

Grand Duke Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, then he took out a document and handed it over, "The letter said that his injury has healed, so of course he has to come to see Your Majesty, and he will probably leave in the next two days."

"Okay, he's quite arrogant."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the little queen's tone. After all, she was the ruler of a country. Even if you were a foreigner, I wanted to see you on my own initiative. It's too disrespectful of you to drag it out for so long, right?

"Then Grand Duke, please pay close attention to him. When he arrives in the main city, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will take my leave then."

At the end of the daily interview, Cheng Gujian stood up, saluted, and strode away.

Dongfang Xiao was still sitting in front of the desk in the study, his right hand clenched tightly, even trembling a little from the force.

The fact is, it’s not that she “felt there was a problem that she couldn’t understand”, but that she had vaguely thought of a possibility.

The price of Poseidon Stone fluctuates, which is of course acceptable.

But what if the fluctuation is too big...what will be the consequences?

This seems to be a problem that no one pays attention to, and no one will pay attention to this problem. The market is booming now, and anyone who says something that is not conducive to trading will be punished.

What's your purpose in saying this? Are you unable to afford the Sea God Stone and just leaving it there? That's enough.

But even though she realized this, she herself didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it.

Because if that were the case, maybe...

This is her only chance in this life.

She wanted to take a gamble.

……

Silver Pine Island.

Xu Shi was in a good mood today, or rather, he had been in a good mood these days.

After all, Yinsong Island is thriving, and with the endorsement of the island owner Pan Cheng, the islanders have also accepted the circuit transformation, and the daily facilities of every household are now beginning to move towards electrification.

It's quite interesting to talk about this. Originally, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when the signal tower was built and the circuits were laid, these things were done in a relatively covert manner. In particular, the back mountain was simply sealed off. Many islanders didn't even know that such a thing existed.

By the time all this was completed, everyone was still in the dark, and naturally there was a bit of mystery surrounding it… So when Pan Cheng issued the order to modify the circuit, many people were still a little resistant, or perhaps they retained a natural fear of the unknown.

But after experiencing the convenience of electrification, any concerns disappeared.

All of this is so convenient, and it doesn't cost any money - Xu Shi didn't bother to charge them extra for electricity or anything like that. With the popularization of the power system, there is basically no need for batteries or anything like that, including the power generation that relies on hydropower. It can be considered as free assistance to big brother Pan Cheng.

Over in Night Sin City, Su Lin and her team have also arranged manpower, and talent assistance will be available at any time.

There is a kind of beauty where everything is full of vitality and blooming.

He was currently playing games with his darling daughter - he didn't know where Xia Ke'an got the mood from, but she suddenly asked him to go to the beach to play, so of course it was difficult for him as a father to refuse.

"Have you really regressed to the age of ten?"

But having said that, he couldn't help but complain when he saw the old lady excitedly building a sand castle there.

"What are you talking about?"

The white-haired loli rolled her eyes at him, but her hands didn't stop moving. "Dad said he would take me to the amusement park? Did we go? Did we go?"

"I know you took Su Lin with you! You're a big liar who doesn't keep his word!"

When Xia Ke'an thought of this, he got inexplicably angry and grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at him.

Xu Shi dodged with a guilty conscience. He really couldn't refute this...

"Next time, definitely next time."

"Who asked you to? Next time, come over and help me build a castle."

The old lady curled her lips, but she didn't really blame him. "I am a magnanimous person and I won't make a fuss about it. At least you can have fun with me today."

"Good good."

Xu Shi smiled, walked over and held her in his arms, "Here, I've prepared some soapy water for you, do you want to blow some bubbles?"

"want!"

The white-haired loli also smiled and took the tools and had fun playing with them.

Look, Xiao Ke'an can be satisfied so easily. Where can you find such a good daughter?

The good daughter still cares about her bad father. While blowing the flute, she couldn't help asking, "Speaking of which, did the little queen you like send you a letter? You can't wait to meet her, right?"

"What do you mean by my favorite little queen?"

Xu Shi sweated so much that he asked, "Is it itchy again?"

"Isn't it? She's exactly the type you expected."

Xia Ke'an made a face, "You don't have to hide it, I'm not jealous... Hey, stop playing with my hair!"

"Just play, just play."

Xu Shi used her hair to make a ring, dipped it in some soapy water and started blowing bubbles, "Who cares if you're jealous or not? Is there any daughter who's jealous of her father?"

"No? Isn't there an old saying that a daughter is the q of her father in his previous life...what's that?"

The old lady also realized that she had said something wrong, but she didn't try to make amends. Instead, she continued talking.

"If you say so, I will really eat it. Just give me a definite answer. What do you want?"

"We have to meet for sure."

Xu Shi scratched her face with her hair and answered evasively, "What else have you been busy for so long?"

As he spoke, he blew another bubble and then reached out and touched it lightly.

boom.

The fragile bubble was popped in an instant, and the beautiful refracted light disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 255: Stop, stop comparing the worst!

2023-09-04

The next day, morning.

For the citizens of the empire's main city, the first thing they do when they wake up every day is to shout... Wrong, it means to pay attention to today's Poseidon Stone market and see what the price is.

After all, this aspect was still relatively primitive, so there was only one way for everyone to check prices, and that was to go to various trading stations to look at the listings. Originally, various tabloids were planning to add this section, but later they found that people were faster than newspapers, so they had to give up in disappointment.

however.

When citizens flocked to the trading post opened in Night Sin City, they were collectively dumbfounded.

"Low-grade Poseidon Stone... forty silver coins for every hundred grams?!"

When people saw the price on the listing, they all stared in amazement.

Yesterday, the price was still 50 silver coins per gram! How could it drop so much in one day?!

This time it has shrunk by more than a hundred times! It is even lower than when the Shanghai God Stone transaction started!

In other words, even if you bought Poseidon Stone on the first day of trading and did nothing afterwards, you would have lost 20% now!

To be honest, a loss of 20% is not a small amount, and this is only limited to the special situation of "the first day of trading".

The price of Poseidon Stone is soaring every day. If you enter the market one day later, the amount of money you have to pay will be much higher, so the amount of loss will only be greater.

This drop is tantamount to jumping off a cliff. For the citizens who were still dreaming of getting rich yesterday, who could accept it?

The price of medium and high-quality Poseidon stones has fallen by the same amount.

It's a group dive!

"Is there something wrong with your sign? Is it written wrong?"

Someone woke up and hurried to confirm.

If it was forty silver coins per gram, or four thousand silver coins per hundred grams, it might seem a little more normal. Although it is much cheaper than yesterday, it is still acceptable, isn't it?

You wrote a few less or more zeros, right? You wrote a few less or more zeros, right? You wrote a few less or more zeros, right?

"Um...no."

The expressionless person in charge carefully checked the price tag and shook his head seriously, "This is the price. There is absolutely no mistake."

That’s right, Niu Mo is rewarding guests!

The crowd went wild, this is fucking crazy!

Many people’s first reaction is that these despicable outsiders are having a hysterical fit. Are they trying to purchase large quantities of goods in this way, and then raise the price back tomorrow to make a fortune?

Follow your dream!

When this happened, no one would continue trading here, and they all left in groups of two or three, cursing.

You are not the only trading station, there are also the royal family and the church! At worst, there are many small stations, you don't have to buy and sell here!

just.

Even after arriving at the new site, the situation did not change at all.

The prices offered by any trading station are no different from those in Nightsin City.

Maybe there was a slight difference of three or two copper coins? But with such a sharp drop, this amount was almost the same as nothing.
