Chapter 1908: A Nobleman's Shopping Spree: Maximizing Losses?
"Stop joking around, Brother Cheng isn't made of iron, how can he work like this non-stop?"
"Although I was a little disappointed, it's completely understandable. As long as the event was great, that's all that matters."
"That's true, but without Brother Cheng hosting the Spring Festival Gala, it just doesn't feel the same..."
"Still chatting? Didn't you see that old sixth brother has already slipped away?"
"Damn, that's fast!"
"What's going on? I was planning to give Brother Cheng a little something as a reward, according to the customs of Bianliang City."
“I’ve already lost it before, but I guess that’s why he suddenly ran away…”
Fang Yun will not be a host for the Spring Festival Gala this year.
Most people were actually mentally prepared.
I can tell.
The Spring Festival Gala was a great success in Bianliang City and even the entire Fantasy World.
Fang Yun, who hosted the first three seasons consecutively.
I had already been planning to step down from my leading role since last year.
Regarding his actions...
At first, everyone was very confused—
He was doing a great job as a host, and everyone was very supportive of him.
Despite the harmonious atmosphere, Fang Yun suddenly chose to withdraw from the limelight.
This was somewhat unexpected.
But soon.
With the emergence of a popular post on the forum.
Everyone finally understood Fang Yun's decision to step down from his position.
The post didn't contain much information, but it seemed to describe Fang Yun very well.
To quote the original poster.
Fang Yun chose to retire at the height of his career because he was worried that his personal brand and style would become too obvious, ultimately causing the Spring Festival Gala, which was originally an incredibly successful nationwide event, to backfire.
If he continues to be the host.
Over time, people will become completely associated with him and this activity.
Until then.
If he can't attend a particular session due to other commitments.
So it doesn't matter who takes over.
The effectiveness and impact of this activity will be greatly reduced, ultimately resulting in more harm than good.
However, if he had withdrawn from the hosting position in time...
Although people will not forget his identity as the founder.
However, most people will focus more on the event itself.
Thus.
No matter who hosts it in the future, it will not affect the continuation of this event.
Only in this way can the Spring Festival Gala truly become a long-lasting grand celebration!
The original poster's analysis was very logical, and everyone nodded in agreement.
This logic makes sense and is also consistent with Fang Yun's personality.
As for what Fang Yun was really thinking?
It doesn't really matter anymore.
And what was Fang Yun doing at this moment?
He was currently squatting in Chang'an City, watching the world channel while making a phone call to order lunch from a restaurant.
soon.
It was exactly 12 noon.
Fang Yun had just hung up the phone when he saw a message flash across the busy world channel—
[World] Lan Jingling: "Does anyone know where the Wandering Taoist spawns? Give me the coordinates! #shouting #shouting"
Saw this message.
Fang Yun immediately perked up and turned his attention to the world channel.
[World] Mysterious Eyes: "Wandering Taoist's coordinates: Longevity Village 129, 85! Anyone want to grab a beast skill book, come quick! #smileyface #smileyface"
[World] Eight Ounces of Meat: "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense! The Wandering Taoist is clearly at Aolai 196.69! If you want to try your luck, hurry up, or it'll be gone in no time! #Smoking #Smoking"
[World] ∑Mapo Tofu: "Wait... is there any definite answer? There are all sorts of different sources saying it's from anywhere! #staring"
[World] Wielding the Sword and Wandering Freely: "Believe me, the real wandering Taoist is in Chang'an 361, 243. I've already snatched several high-level beast skills from him! #Laughing #Laughing"
[World] Kuhan: "Upstairs jerk! Chang'an 361, 243 isn't just a damn rooftop, is it? If anyone believes that, I'll laugh at them for the rest of their life!"
[world]……
Watching the world channel suddenly descend into chaos because of a single message.
Even though he had anticipated this.
But Fang Yun was still somewhat at a loss for words.
At this point, the players in Fantasy Westward Journey were truly addictive.
The Wandering Taoist will randomly spawn on three maps at specific times.
So after arriving on time.
There will always be people who, out of various perverse interests, will spread false coordinates around the world to confuse the public.
only……
It's one thing for you to give fake coordinates for Changshou Aolai; although they're not entirely accurate, at least they can fool people.
But then that guy gave us the coordinates of a rooftop in Chang'an. Wasn't that just making a fool of us?
Looking at the 98k gun hanging on the rooftop of Chang'an.
Fang Yun shook his head and sighed, knowing that it was unlikely he could rely on these old guys to report the coordinates.
Just as he was about to go find it himself.
But then a system message suddenly appeared in the chat window—
[System] Good news! Player (****294) has obtained a high-level combo skill book from the Wandering Taoist (Aolai Country 196, 69) at a low price!
[System] Good news! Player (****294) has obtained a high-level invisibility skill book from the Wandering Taoist (Aolai Country 196, 69) at a low price!
[System] Good news! Player (****294) has obtained a high-level Demon Heart from the Wandering Taoist (Aolai Country 196, 69) at a low price!
[System] Unexpected good news...
Looking at the system notifications that were suddenly refreshing like crazy.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but slam his hand on the table!
Damn it, I was careless.
That guy who was just showing the coordinates of Aolai Kingdom actually gave me the real coordinates!
The thought that while he was daydreaming, someone had already snatched several high-value beast manuals from the wandering Taoist priest was quite daunting.
Fang Yun couldn't stand it any longer and immediately controlled his character to fly quickly towards Ao Lai.
After a while.
He arrived at the wandering Taoist priest's place in Aolai Kingdom.
But by this time, a number of people had already surrounded the wandering Taoist.
I have a bad feeling about this.
He squeezed through the crowd, found the wandering Taoist, and immediately clicked to enter the purchase window.
Warcraft Tips: 34 Remaining
Pearls: 41 remaining
They were surprised to find that even with so many people surrounding them, there were still 34 beast scrolls left.
Fang Yun was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was happening.
The initial price of the beast skills at the Wandering Taoist's place is very affordable, only 650 million Dream Coins.
With 650 million Dream Coins, you have a chance to obtain high-level critical strike skills and other beast skills worth over 1500 million.
Just thinking about it is enough to make one's mouth water.
But don't rush.
First of all.
You should know that the beast skills here at the Wandering Taoist's place are all high-level beast skills.
However, it sells as many as 41 different types of high-level beast skills!
In other words.
You spend 650 million Dream Coins.
It's possible to get a high-level critical strike or high-level divine item that's two or three times more powerful, but it's also possible to get a worthless four-element high-absorption item. It's like going from heaven to hell in an instant.
Second.
The initial price for purchasing high-level beast skills from the Wandering Taoist is quite affordable.
But as long as you keep buying, the price will rise accordingly.
Take, for example, the wandering Taoist priest right now.
After a wave of high-level beast skills were snapped up earlier, the price of the beast skills he was selling had now risen to 840 million.
Such a price is no longer suitable for most players to continue gambling, because the probability of losing is very high and the probability of winning is very low.
This is why no one continued to buy more after there were 34 books left.
The system notification will only be triggered when you purchase a high-value beast skill.
It's been a long time since anyone's been on TV, so you can imagine that many people who rushed to buy things after being stimulated have already been taught a lesson by this cunning merchant, the Wandering Taoist.
But Fang Yun didn't care about any of that.
He came to the wandering Taoist priest, but gambling on high-value beast skills was secondary.
The most important thing is to use the method of gambling on beast skills to consume Dream Coins, and then try to get cashback.
Click the mouse on a skill book.
Fang Yun didn't even glance at the staggering 840 million Dream Coins required; he decisively chose to buy it.
Congratulations on obtaining an advanced Warcraft skill book!
840 million Dream Coins were consumed.
A high-level beast skill book immediately appeared in 98k's backpack.
First, I glanced at the system channel.
After discovering that he was not on TV.
Fang Yun already had a pretty good idea of what was going on, and casually glanced at the skills in the beast skill book—
Warcraft Tips
It records the special skills of ancient magical beasts, which your summoned beasts can learn.
Skills included: Advanced Counterattack
“I knew it…”
Looking at this advanced counterattack book, which can't even sell for half the cost price.
Although Fang Yun was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but curl his lip, thinking to himself that this cunning old merchant was consistently so reliable, whether in his past life or this one...
Too lazy to think too much.
Having purchased a high-level counterattack skill book at a premium of up to 100% without triggering the rebate, Fang Yun moved his mouse and continued scanning for beast skills.
Congratulations on obtaining an advanced Warcraft skill book!
Congratulations on obtaining an advanced Warcraft skill book!
Congratulations on obtaining an advanced Warcraft skill book!
"congratulations……"
98k already carried a lot of Dream Coins.
So Fang Yun didn't bother to care how much the prices of these beast skills had risen. He frantically clicked the mouse until his inventory was full before finally stopping.
As he stopped to check the quality of the beast scrolls, he noticed a sudden chorus of exclamations on the surrounding chat screens—
"Holy crap! Who is this ****636? He's been on TV non-stop, is that even possible?"
"I just counted, in just one minute, he snatched a high-level skill book, a high-level stealing book, two high-level divine skills books and a high-level magic combo book from the old Taoist priest. It's outrageous!"
"Isn't the most outrageous thing this person has? I just glanced at it, and the old Taoist priest only has a few beast skills left, and the price has already exceeded ten million. At this price, if you don't buy top-grade beast skills like High Steal or High Combo, you're basically losing money!"
"I can only say that our Bianliang City is full of hidden talents, there are just too many big shots!"
"I think I just saw Brother K. Could that guy who's been spamming the feed be Brother K?"
"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? Besides, I just saw Beast Lord. Like I said, Bianliang City is full of talented people, and no one can predict which big shot will come to buy up all the goods..."
Looking at the exclamations of the surrounding players on the public chat.
Especially when you see the last three digits of their ID.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, looked up and glanced at 98k's ID, and then found that the last three digits matched perfectly!
"This……"
He realized that the mysterious big shot everyone was talking about was himself.
Fang Yun was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Only then did he remember, and immediately scrolled to check the system notifications. He found that, just as everyone had said, the last three digits of 98k's ID had just flooded the system channel.
This surprised Fang Yun, but also made him feel much more at ease.
His luck seems to be a bit off today; the cashback rewards aren't triggering very well.
After a frantic, headlong sweep.
His Dream Coins remained unchanged overall, which was seriously inconsistent with the past!
After all that spending, I didn't make any money, especially if the beast skills I bought were just a bunch of junk.
That would be incredibly stressful.
Fortunately, the situation seems to be much better than he had imagined.
He glanced at the wandering Taoist again and found that the remaining beast skills had been swept up by an unknown wealthy player.
Fang Yun didn't stay there any longer. He controlled the 98k and left Aolai, returning to the rooftop of Chang'an.
They settled on the rooftop.
He then opened his backpack and began to examine the quality of the beast scrolls he had collected.

He read through five or six beast manuals in a row.
Fang Yunren, who was about to enjoy the fruits of his victory, was dumbfounded when he discovered that they were all low-quality beast skills.
What?! What are all these things?!
Although he knew that, apart from those beast skills that could be shown on television, those that couldn't be shown on television generally meant losses.
Even if it's a loss, this isn't the way to lose money, is it?
The few beast skills he had just looked at.
All of it together, it wouldn't even cost him enough to buy one book!
That old Taoist priest really needs a streetlight hanging on him!
Take a deep breath.
Fang Yun, who was delighted by the initial burst of success, calmed himself down and continued reading.

Then he looked through another pile of beast skills.
Fang Yun read it unusually slowly this time, and his expression clearly relaxed a lot as he read on.
Although the initial critical hit caught him off guard.
But his performance stabilized considerably later on.
As those players said, although he found a lot of junk this time, he also found quite a few top-quality beast skills.
Especially the high-level divine resurrection.
This skill book can be said to be the pinnacle of all skill books, far surpassing others in both effectiveness and price!
As a result, he scanned two books directly this time.
Although it's still not enough to cover the huge losses, at least I feel much better.
Then I continued reading.
After reviewing all 20 beast skill books in the backpack.
Fang Yun had a basic understanding of the situation.
This shopping spree was definitely a loss, and a significant one at that.
But the overall result was actually better than he had expected.
