To any man, having the woman of his dreams accompany him for lunch was definitely an ecstatic experience, but Happy was a little fearful during the meal!
On one side was Xu Xin, who had always been gentle and quiet. She showed the rare air of the mistress of the base and continued putting food into her bowl, causing Happy to feel her passion, and his heart felt warm.
On the other side were two girls' gazes. Glutinous Rice could ignore them, but Phoenix Dances was very direct. Her glare made Happy feel as if he was an iceberg.
One of them was hot, and the other was cold.
Happy, who was caught between ice and fire, felt a little tired because he was sweating both cold and hot sweat.
After much difficulty, Happy finished his food and burped in satisfaction. He handed the bowl to Xu Xin in a very chauvinistic manner. He knew that if he continued making Phoenix Dances wait, the violent woman might do something else.
"I'll wash the dishes. You guys talk."
Xu Xin smiled faintly and left the living room with the bowl in a very considerate manner.
"Hmph, your days are pretty good, aren't they?"
"It's alright, it's alright."
Happy smiled bashfully and touched his nose. "This first meal can be considered a housewarming banquet. It's rare for me to eat so well. By the way, you said that you have something urgent to discuss with me. What's going on?"
"Beautiful Robes Faction obtained seven high-grade masterpieces from the royal mausoleum. There are also some other items that amount to around three hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs. All of them filled up the faction storage, but it's not enough to handle Beautiful Robes Faction's development. I believe that you won't be able to use your masterpieces for the time being, so I want to use cash to buy all your masterpieces and weapons."
"Cash? Buy? "
Happy was confused by what he heard, and he quickly said,
He quickly said, "In truth, even if you didn't say it, I was prepared to send them to you. Wait, what's with buying?"
At that moment, Glutinous Rice spoke up. She explained seriously.
"This was originally a group quest for our faction, but later on, we learned that the royal mausoleum is a hidden quest from the Murong Clan. Even without Little Jade's Calming Incense, you would still have gone to carry out your clan's quest. That's why the higher ups of Beautiful Robes Faction have decided that your spoils of war cannot be counted as part of the faction's event."
Phoenix Dances nodded quietly.
Happy frowned and thought about it.
'I see!
'Even if it's my hidden quest, why didn't I exchange my spoils of war for contribution points and put them into the faction storage? Is there a problem with the money flowing in the sect? "
"No!"
Phoenix Dances shook her head.
"The development of the sect over this period of time has been very impressive. Even though we bought quite a lot of equipment during the early stages of the game, since Beautiful Robes Faction has practically monopolized the income areas in the cities nearby, our daily income is also very astonishing. Last week, the cash flow in the report has already exceeded fifty million taels of silver."
"Fifty million …"
Happy was shocked. He did not have any experience in managing a sect, so he did not expect that Beautiful Robes Faction, which required him to contact specific people before he could buy a few high-tier martial art manuals, would have already reached such a scale.
"Fifty million silver taels. Just a portion of it is enough to digest all the things I brought out of the royal mausoleum this time."
"That is not the problem …"
Glutinous Rice spoke up again. "Based on the observations and research of the students from the Economics and Trade course, they evaluated the fluctuation of the exchange rate for silver and various masterpieces in World of Martial Arts."
Observe? Research? Evaluation?
Happy was stunned, and he instantly felt as if his head was about to explode!
'What the heck?!'
"They believe that based on the current rate at which players pay for gold, they can earn around five thousand taels of silver a day from training, and they can spend around two thousand taels of silver a day on medicinal pills. If they just farm money, they can earn an astonishing fifty thousand taels of silver a day, and they can spend fifteen thousand taels of silver a day on medicinal pills. Based on the current average income in society and the current exchange rate, a smart, normal professional player can earn around eight hundred to one thousand RMB a day!" The clear data Glutinous Rice told him about the general population allowed Happy to slowly notice something.
"Right now, the average income to society is only two hundred RMB a day."
"Are you saying …?"
"The game's income is too high because the game market is currently very popular, and the players' expectations are too high. However, once the initial period of popularity is over, the income will definitely fall to a level that society can accept."
"In other words …"
"The initial evaluation is that the decrease in silver will reach three to four times!"
Happy tried his best to remember. In his previous life, the exchange rate for silver had basically stabilized at one hundred taels of silver to one RMB half a year later.
The evaluation from the students from the Economics and Trade course was very reliable!
"So, you exchanged all the liquid silver in the sect into RMB?"
"Not all of it. Once we considered the liquid silver our sect needs and the daily income, the higher-ups decided to exchange three-quarters of the liquid silver," Phoenix Dances answered. "This is a method to preserve the value of the sect's funds. Since you're the most important higher-up in Beautiful Robes Faction and the founding member with the highest contribution, once we contact the buyer, we must first get your approval before we can carry out the transaction."
Happy smiled.
"I believe in everyone's judgment!"
"So, you agree to it?"
"Yes. It's good to have cash in my hands. If I get money, there's no way I can refuse such a good thing," Happy said with a smile. "By the way, did you say that there's also an evaluation for masterpieces?"
"That's right!"
Glutinous Rice was clearly the contractor of the data.
"Right now, the price of low-grade masterpieces is between fifty thousand to one hundred thousand. Middle-grade masterpieces are between eighty thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand, and they're all going downhill. Only the drop rate for high-grade masterpieces is very low. Right now, they're basically stable at more than five hundred thousand. If it's sabers and swords, they'll be sold for at least eight hundred thousand.
Glutinous Rice stopped talking for a moment before she solemnly stated that the market for low-grade and middle-grade masterpieces was almost full, so they could also seize the opportunity to sell them. Beautiful Robes Faction would continue to stabilize their high-grade masterpieces, because in the future, high-grade masterpieces would definitely become the mainstream!
Once she finished speaking, a hint of confidence and pride appeared on Glutinous Rice's face.
Even though Happy had convinced the students from the University of South China with his strength, they could still convince the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank in other aspects!
However, when he heard the last piece of data, Happy said something.
"Not necessarily."
"Hmm?"
The two women showed a look of disapproval.
"There's no need to be in a hurry about this. I believe that you know that occupations are rising in World of Martial Arts. This is another system. You've done a very good job evaluating all sorts of equipment and weapons, but you've neglected occupations. This system hasn't surfaced yet, so it's still too early to define it."
Happy's confident tone and spirited eyes caused the two women to suddenly feel the pressure they felt when they faced the top ranked player on the Famous People Rank. They could not help but listen to him.
"Alright, we can put this aside for the time being and continue observing. But there's something else I'd like you to promise me. I've decided to step down."
Phoenix Dances' words shocked Happy and Glutinous Rice at the same time!
