"High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragments."
"Interesting."
"Besides being able to confer the title of a High Rank 9 Subordinate God, they can actually reduce the Divine Power consumption of a Divine Art..."
Li Yue was somewhat surprised.
Moreover, these one hundred units of "High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragments" were worth one thousand units of Divine Power!
Doesn't that mean—
Each unit of "High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragment" is worth ten units of Divine Power?
"Truly a wealth-bringing child…"
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
This evil being—
Was actually quite adorable.
That "Paper Shop" should be the weakest among the evil beings, but killing it yielded one thousand units of Divine Power. What a great profit.
If only more evil beings would appear.
Wouldn't he be able to quickly gather fifteen thousand units of Divine Power?
Of course—
This was just wishful thinking.
Although the range of his 「Jurisdiction」 was not small, covering an area of about 670,000 square meters (roughly 100 hectares or 1,000 acres), it was not large when compared to the entire Azure Wood Town.
And within Azure Wood Town, the rumored evil beings—aside from the Paper Shop—only included another: the Mysterious Manor.
The odds of that Mysterious Manor just happening to fall within his 「Jurisdiction」 were extremely slim.
Unless he could be promoted to Low Rank 8, expanding the range of 「Jurisdiction」 again—only then would the Mysterious Manor possibly appear within range.
"These one hundred units of 'High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragments' aren't enough to confer a Subordinate God title."
"Then how should I best use them…"
Li Yue pondered.
Sell them directly?
Although he could obtain one thousand units of Divine Power immediately, he didn't think that was the best use.
After some thought—
A sudden idea struck him. He immediately opened the 「Regional Trade」 interface to check the price of 'Netherworld Soldier Artifacts'.
"It's dropped to ten units of Divine Power and three hundred units of Faith Power…"
"The cost is ten Divine Power units, and the extra three hundred Faith Power is the labor cost…"
"This should be the lowest possible price."
"Working hard for two hours to produce a 'Netherworld Soldier Artifact' only earns three hundred Faith Power… that's just 0.3 units of Divine Power…"
Li Yue shook his head.
This price was still highly competitive. It was possible not to sell even one per day.
After all, more and more people were advancing to High Rank 9 Divine Rank now.
When he first sold 'Netherworld Soldier Artifacts', he could earn ten units of Divine Power from each sale.
That was truly a great profit!
"Since everyone wants to be competitive…"
"One more won't hurt…"
A strange smile appeared on his lips.
Fifty units of High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragments could reduce the consumption of a High Rank 9 Divine Art by 50%.
Without hesitation—
He directly took out fifty units of High Rank 9 Divine Law Fragments and applied them to the High Rank 9 Divine Art 'Netherworld Soldier Artifact'.
This was not the Low Rank 8 Divine Art 'Tier 3 Netherworld Soldier Artifact', but only the High Rank 9 version.
Instantly—
He felt his understanding of the Divine Art 'Netherworld Soldier Artifact' increase significantly. He even improved to the point of knowing how to greatly conserve Divine Power while refining Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifacts.
Huff—
He stretched out his hand.
Five units of Divine Power surged forth, slowly outlining the Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifact 'Soul Binding Chain' before him.
It took only half an hour.
He completed the refinement, and a Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifact 'Soul Binding Chain' floated before him.
"Before, at High Rank 9, it took two hours to refine a Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifact."
"Now, at Low Rank 8, it only takes half an hour—four times more efficient."
Li Yue was satisfied.
This way—
He could refine twenty-four Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifacts in twelve hours!
"Others need to make some labor profit…"
"But I can suppress the price directly to ten units of Divine Power…"
He smiled softly.
Without hesitation, he placed the Tier 2 Netherworld Soldier Artifact before him on the 「Regional Trade」 interface at a price of ten units of Divine Power.
He didn't believe—
That there could be another Blue Star God willing to list it at that same price.
Listing it for ten units of Divine Power still earned him a profit of five units of Divine Power.
But if others followed suit and listed theirs for ten Divine Power units, they'd be working for nothing. Who would be willing?
If someone really tried—
Then he could simply lower the price again!
"Though it's not as profitable as earning ten units per artifact like before…"
"But the efficiency is higher now… And since I'm selling it at cost, presumably those High Rank 9 Blue Star Gods would rather not waste time refining it themselves. Buying directly for ten Divine Power units—how convenient is that?"
"Sales should be pretty good."
"I, Li Yue, am diligently working for the welfare of all Blue Star Gods…"
He smiled.
He continued refining Tier 2 'Netherworld Soldier Artifacts' with great interest.
He believed—
That the fifty units of Divine Law Fragments, worth five hundred units of Divine Power, would be quickly earned back.
---
"Damn it!"
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
"Which great god is this, directly selling Netherworld Soldier Artifacts for ten Divine Power units?"
"Artifacts I painstakingly refine for two hours… for nothing?!"
"Working for free?"
"Must competition be this intense?!"
In a Divine Domain, Zhou Minghuang had just completed refining a Netherworld Soldier Artifact.
But just as he was about to list it, his eyes widened.
He saw someone had already listed one on the interface—priced at just ten units of Divine Power.
He immediately cursed.
He thought pricing it at ten Divine Power units and three hundred Faith Power was already rock bottom.
And he was still facing intense competition.
He was barely selling one every three days, earning just three hundred Faith Power.
In ten days, he'd make one unit of Divine Power.
But now—
People weren't even trying to make money.
Selling directly at cost—how could he compete?
It was impossible.
"Let's see how long you can keep this up."
"This god doesn't believe you can work for free every day."
"If you keep selling like this, I won't bother refining anymore. I'll just buy from you instead!"
He gritted his teeth.
The next moment—
He saw the artifact had already been bought.
But he wasn't envious. Instead, he sneered.
He'd only be envious if the other made money. If they worked for nothing, he'd only call them a fool in his heart.
However, two hours later—
He saw four more Netherworld Soldier Artifacts listed, still at ten Divine Power units each!
"Still have inventory?"
"How can there be such a fool, even after becoming a god?"
"No profit at all… I officially crown you the strongest king of competition!"
He shook his head and stopped paying attention.
So what if it was a business that earned one Divine Power unit every ten days?
He wasn't doing it anymore.
Let them compete.
