As the topic brewed, the spearhead of public opinion had already shown a one-sided trend, especially in the areas of civilizations other than the three civilizations.
On the other hand, the three civilizations' area was quite quiet. Many people on the forum were even biased towards Yang Rui and were even proud of Yang Rui.
It should be known that the attitude of the three civilizations to the outside world could not help Yang Rui much. Instead, it had a certain negative effect and was a bit of national chauvinism. However, Yang Rui also did not explain anything.
Yang Rui did this because on one hand, he did not bother to explain the truth of the matter. After all, the influence of public opinion in the real world on Yang Rui was already very limited.
As for the transmission of public opinion in the real world to the game world, it would take a very long time. The perception and influence in the game in a short period of time was very limited.
On the other hand, Yang Rui had been silently allowing the matter to brew and ferment. It was also to cover up a major matter and quietly unfold it.
The two formed a contrast. The more the matter of Yang Rui's kidnapping was on the surface, the less people would suspect Yang Rui.
And the focus was on Yang Rui's kidnapping of women. The other thing that Yang Rui had set up happened to be in the shadow behind the spotlight.
The thing that Yang Rui was secretly pushing forward was inspired by the inspiration of the Celestial Grass Magic House. He wanted to invest in some industries in multiple civilizations.
The purpose of investing in industries was, of course, to a large extent for profit, to earn foreign exchange, which was the game's gold coins, and to plunder the relevant civilizations.
Another purpose was to set up a spy, just like when Yang Rui set up the Celestial Grass Magic House in the American civilization area. It might come in handy at some point.
Of course, compared to the two, the first purpose should be more obvious and easier to achieve. The second purpose could only be manifested at special times.
Under such a premise, Yang Rui didn't mind manipulating a certain industry in a certain civilized region through his industrial layout, seizing foreign currency at any time.
In the beginning, Yang Rui did not pay attention to the direction of public opinion. Another important reason was that the scope of his actions had always been focused on the American civilization. Even if Yang Rui did not explain this behavior, it was easy to think that it was revenge for the war between the American civilization and the three civilizations that had just ended.
The American civilization had a magic system that was very suitable for healing. Yang Rui also had the Astral Grass Magic House and the identity of Eisenberg as his foundation in the American civilization. Therefore, it was much more convenient for him to do things.
Yang Rui first bought three shops in the Holy City of the United States of America. They sold skill books, building blueprints, equipment, various defensive equipment, basic resources, and rare materials.
Due to the fact that the American civilization was made up of two opposing factions, it was not easy for Yang Rui to monopolize a certain industry since the Dark Faction's base camp was hard to find.
Therefore, Yang Rui's model was still market speculation and hoarding.
The Astral Grass Magic House had given Yang Rui a successful model. After learning from the experience, Yang Rui decided to only target a certain category of items at the same time.
At this time, the Astral Grass Magic House was no longer dealing with Astral Grass and Magic Potions. Instead, it had switched to the management and hoarding of another type of anti-curse drug materials and finished products.
Within the American civilization, due to the existence of the Dark Faction, although the number of curse-type monsters was not many, curse-type attacks would often appear, including in groups of monsters.
Therefore, after Yang Rui and Chen Xiaonan's analysis, they believed that anti-curse drugs and raw materials were in demand and decided to market these items.
At the same time, the number of curse-type drugs was much smaller and the raw materials were much scarcer. However, the demand for curse-type drugs was correspondingly lower, but it was an indispensable type of drug.
After grasping these characteristics, Yang Rui imitated the previous market operation of Astral Grass and Magic Potions and began to operate against curse-type drugs and raw materials.
It was undeniable that Yang Rui was not the only one who had market insight. Within the American civilization, many player forces and various large NPC forces had hoarded such drugs and raw materials.
The amount that each force hoarded could only satisfy their own needs for a short period of time. Very few people hoarded them for profit because these drugs and raw materials had another characteristic – they could not be stored for a long time.
This characteristic was also destined to reduce their circulation. However, for Yang Rui, this effect was almost no problem. He only needed to place a certain Soul Item in the Astral Grass Magic House, and the space in the Spatial Ring's soul was enough for this operation.
Yang Rui also went through a similar selection process for the other shops under his control. For example, in terms of basic resources and rare materials, Yang Rui chose a relatively unfamiliar material – Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone.
Although this item had two names, they were the same item. It had the effect of breaking through the bottleneck of both Magic and Combat Energy Classes. This was one of the important factors that determined it.
However, the production of Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone was controlled by the Light Faction and the Dark Faction. The ones circulating in the market were only of low quality, but they were extremely expensive.
Yang Rui still chose this item as the target because when Yang Rui was abducting an NPC Liegeman, he accidentally found a large Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone mineral deposit.
This mineral deposit that was controlled by the Light Faction could be said to be heavily guarded. Moreover, there was a Level 1 Historical Hero guarding it. Of course, he was guarding an area and not just a mineral deposit.
However, it was enough to show that the Light Faction attached great importance to this mineral deposit. Yang Rui led his troops to ambush this mineral deposit and by chance, he obtained the distribution of Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone from the Level 1 Historical Hero who was killed by Yang Rui.
Therefore, Yang Rui arbitrarily made the Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone as the target of market manipulation. At this time, although Yang Rui did not make a move, it was because he did not want the new shop to be exposed because of market manipulation.
In fact, Yang Rui had already thought of a set of market manipulation methods for the Magic Stone/Combat Energy Stone. Once the new shop was on the right track, it could be put into practice.
The other two shops had similar market considerations. Yang Rui, Chen Xiaonan, Xiaohui, Ren Sisi, and the others spent a lot of effort to choose the types of items that could be manipulated in the market. The probability of success was very high.
