Night, bedroom.
A web page was projected in the air. Xia Ping was sitting on the bed, and this page listed a series of supplements, monster meat, and precious elixirs.
Three days later, the school's fighting competition would begin. If he only relied on the strength of the fourth layer, he probably wouldn't be able to enter the top ten of the school.
Although Xiong Batian was a school bully and powerful, he was only at the fifth layer. He couldn't be ranked in the top ten of the school at all. There were even powerhouses at the sixth and seventh layer in the school, who were far more powerful than Xiong Batian.
According to Xia Ping's current cultivation of the fourth layer, it was still relatively difficult to enter the top ten of the school, so he had to strengthen his cultivation in order to stand out among the many students.
"Golden Potion!"
Xia Ping saw a kind of life potion introduced on the page. This Golden Potion was made from the hearts of dozens of monsters such as berserk bears, flying tigers, unicorn wolves, and dozens of other monsters as materials, plus forty-nine kinds of precious elixirs. It was refined after countless processing procedures. It was extremely precious and contained a huge amount of energy.
It could be said that taking such a life potion, even if you were to advance from the fourth layer to the fifth layer, it would not be a problem at all. Unfortunately, this was a forbidden medicine!
The reason why it was listed as a forbidden medicine was because the energy contained in the Golden Potion was too violent. It had the power of a tiger or wolf. If someone with insufficient strength were to inject this Golden Potion, they would immediately explode from the energy and explode into pieces.
Therefore, people who wanted to buy the Golden Potion must be above the seventh layer of Martial Arts. Those who had not reached this realm of martial arts could not buy it. This had been strictly prohibited by federal law.
"Golden Potion, this is the most suitable thing for me." Xia Ping's eyes flickered. For ordinary people, this Golden Potion was too violent. Those who had not reached the seventh layer of Martial Arts would die if they took it.
But he was different. He cultivated the Pure Yang Immortal Art and could even tame violent energy like the essence of the sun. The energy of a mere Golden Potion was nothing.
It could be said that if he wanted to advance to the fifth layer of Martial Arts as soon as possible, this Golden Potion was the most suitable choice. Unfortunately, he was not qualified to buy it for the time being.
"It seems that there is no way to buy it from the regular way. I can only go to the black market." Xia Ping stared at the page. A businessman once said that the most profitable thing was selling prohibited items.
The more it was banned, the more profitable it was, and the more people would engage in such illegal activities. Everything was for the sake of federal coins, so the Gold Potion was still circulating in the market.
However, if he wanted to buy it, he could only go to the black market.
"Blackmoon City!"
Xia Ping clicked on a post that introduced the city. "This is the most famous underworld city in the Yangzhou District. It's a mix of good and bad, with many bars and casinos. Countless gangs live in this city.
In this city, betrayal, fighting, drugs, blood, and death were all commonplace. There were also many benefits to be gained here. Prohibited items, prohibited weapons, monster meat, medicinal pills, spirit herbs, martial arts techniques, and so on could all be traded. There were no barriers to entry. As long as one had money, one could buy anything they wanted here.
This is heaven, but it is also hell. It is a place where wealth gathers, but it is also a paradise for crime. Countless evil people live in this place. Good people should not come here, or else they will regret it for the rest of their lives. "
He also did not know why the federal government would allow such a criminal city to exist so openly. Perhaps there were some unknown transactions involved, but in any case, existence was reason.
"But a Gold Potion is too expensive. It actually costs five hundred thousand federal coins. This is robbery." Xia Ping looked at the price and was a little dumbfounded.
What kind of concept was five hundred thousand federal coins? For a middle-class person like his old man, it would take him seven years to buy it even if he did not eat or drink. This was already the down payment for a house.
But this was just a potion. From this, it could be seen how profiteering this industry was. If he had not earned a large sum of money from writing novels, he would not even have the right to buy it. He would only be able to watch.
"Looks like I need to contact Editor Meng Fei and see if I can get some money in advance. Otherwise, I won't be able to buy it." Xia Ping's eyes flashed. He immediately contacted Editor Meng Fei through his communicator and told him in detail that he wanted to get his royalties in advance.
Ten minutes later, Editor Meng Fei replied, "Originally, this is not in line with the rules because the company has its own regulations. The royalties can only be paid on the fifteenth of every month. After all, there is a need to pay taxes and so on. Paying in advance is very troublesome and will affect a series of the company's procedures.
But I have discussed it with the chief editor and the company's finance staff. You also have your own difficulties, so we will treat it as a special case. We can give you one million federal coins in advance and the rest will be calculated next month. But don't do it again. "
It was indeed a special case!
In fact, if Xia Ping's novel had not suddenly become popular and become a phenomenal work with a limitless future, the other party would probably not even be willing to pay attention to his request.
But in order to keep this phenomenal writer, Xia Ping, they were willing to provide some convenience. This was a privilege.
"Thank you."
Xia Ping also knew that his request was a little unreasonable, but in order to buy the Gold Potion, he could only do this.
"Teacher Black Hearted Wolf, when will your next work be published?" Editor Meng Fei asked impatiently, because this Teacher Bai Rong novel was really too popular.
This morning, there were already more than two hundred thousand people who bought this book, but by night, there were more than three hundred thousand people. This kind of increase was simply terrifying. At least six to seven million federal coins had been sold, and this was just the beginning.
Perhaps by the time this craze ended, it would be a piece of cake to achieve sales of ten million copies.
If he continued to write his next novel, taking advantage of this momentum, it would definitely continue to be popular. For Penguin, this was also a huge opportunity to increase their sales.
Personally, Meng Fei also wanted to see more outstanding works. He was extremely looking forward to it.
"I don't have any inspiration at the moment, probably at least a month later." Xia Ping said. The profits of this book had not been maximized yet, and he was not in a hurry to publish a second novel.
"Alright, then I will wait for Teacher Black Hearted Wolf's next masterpiece." Although Editor Meng Fei felt that it was a pity, he also knew that writing a novel could not be written immediately. This required inspiration.
With a smack, the two ended the communication.
"Tomorrow is Friday, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that is planet Saturday and Sunday. I can take advantage of Friday night to leave for Blackmoon City and buy the Gold Potion." Xia Ping thought about the plan for the next two days.
Ding!
At this moment, his phone received a message. Xia Ping glanced at it and said, "Your account has been transferred one million federal coins. Please check."
… …
The next morning, Xia Ping went to school. Just as he was about to enter the classroom, he was immediately stopped by someone. He turned around and saw Jiang Yaru glaring at him with eyes filled with anger, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Xia Ping!"
