Lin Yi frowned,”what’s Qin Qing doing?” Since we’ve already unified the inventory, how could something like this still happen?”
Qin Qing was now in charge of the Qin family, and with his relationship with Lin Yi, he was in charge of all the life crystals. This was the most crucial time for him to secure his position.
He didn’t expect that such a problem would occur.
It was true that in the past, it was not uncommon for people to die because of the cut in supply of life crystals. Every year, the number of people who died because of this was at least in the six digits. Normally, no one would care about such things.
However, it was different this time.
Although it was house Qin who came forward, everyone knew that Lin Yi was the real boss. This was the first big move Lin Yi made since he took over the position, and it was directly related to the safety of everyone in the sea.
Even if he didn’t want everyone to praise him, he had to at least use this to stabilize the People’s hearts.
If Lin Yi wanted to move up to the next level, apart from his own strength, the People’s hearts were the most important!
Yet, such a thing happened at this critical moment.
“Rumor has it that the Qin family’s life crystals were too expensive,” hou Maha said in a deep voice.”That family didn’t have the money to buy them, so they could only endure it. After a long time, something happened.”
“Too expensive?”
“Didn’t they lower the price already?”Lin Yi asked, surprised.
Now, all the inventory was being allocated by the Qin family. It was no exaggeration to say that Qin Qing was the Minister of Finance, and her words and actions had a huge impact on the economic activities of the entire sea area.
Because of the special properties of life crystals, Lin Yi didn’t have any plans to profit from them even if he had a huge shortage of resources.
He had personally given Qin Qing the order to reduce the price.
Seeing Lin Yi’s confusion, hou Mohe explained,””It’s indeed been reduced by 30%. The price is already at its lowest in the past hundred years. In order to avoid malicious bidding, they even set strict quotas.
Although it’s inevitable that some people will take advantage of the loophole, the overall situation is still under control. ”
“A family of nine people died. You call this being under control?”
Lin Yi looked at him and stood up to leave.””I’ll leave the rest of the matters to you. I’ll go out for a walk. ”
Hou mo he acknowledged in a low voice.
Of course, he knew what Lin Yi meant by “around”-this was a private visit.
Back when the mess wasn’t big, all Lin Yi had to do was focus on his own safety-he didn’t have to worry about anything else as long as he was strong enough and had time to assess the situation.
However, things were different now.
As the saying went, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. One had to plan for the government in one’s position, or else it would be evil.
Cultivating was cultivating one’s heart-this was something Lin Yi didn’t understand before, but after opening up a new world and seeing it develop step by step, he finally understood it.
“The Qin family, good luck.”
Although hou mo he had a good relationship with Qin Qing, he had no intention of disclosing anything to her.
As Lin Yi’s most trusted ally, if house Qin couldn’t even withstand this test, then they were destined to never make it big.
Four hours later, Lin Yi was already ten thousand miles away at the edge of the East Sea.
This was also the area where the family of nine had an accident.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes at the thousand-meter long line in front of him. He walked over and asked an old man,”Uncle, what’s your line?”
“Young man, you’re not a local, are you?” the old man looked up at him.
“No, I’m just traveling,” Lin Yi smiled.
“No wonder.”
The old man shook his head.”Young man, you don’t know yet. The supply of life crystals is almost out of supply. Our family of nine has almost died from working too hard. If we don’t buy some now, we might not be able to buy any more in the future.”
“I just came from somewhere else,” Lin Yi blinked,”they were all talking about the unified supply of life crystals, right?” I’ve also heard that not only will they not cut off the supply, they’re even lowering the price. ”
“Reduce the price? We’re also calling for a discount here, can you buy it?”
The old man rolled his eyes.”Young man, you’re still too naive. If there’s really such a good thing in the world, how can it fall on the heads of ordinary people like us?”
“Isn’t this the place?”Lin Yi pointed at the long line.
The old man sighed,”in the beginning, we could still buy life crystals that were cheaper than before, but everyone was skeptical.”
Later on, people said that Lin Yi, the king of the seas, was about to become the ruler of the four Seas, and the price would drop even more. He might even provide it to everyone for free, so many people were waiting to see.
After all, even if the price of life crystals is lowered, it’s still a huge expense for ordinary people like us. We should save as much as we can. ”
Lin Yi shook his head,”I don’t think it’ll be free, that’s not realistic.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to provide it to ordinary people for free. He had yet to clear the eighteen levels of hell, and even the normal supply of inventory was a problem. Free of charge was simply a fantasy.
What’s more, free things were often the most expensive.
If the life Crystal, which was a necessity for survival, was free, it would be even more difficult for the mermen who really needed it.
“Sigh, if this old man had turned around from the start and not taken that chance, I wouldn’t have to wait until now to suffer.”
The old man sighed,”ever since the tragedy of that family of nine, everyone reacted and swarmed over to buy it. In the end, they directly increased the price by two times!”
You’ll have to queue for days just for this!
We’re really unlucky for eight generations to have met that damn king of the sea!”
“I don’t think he’s the one who asked for it,” Lin Yi said, awkwardly pinching his nose.
“He didn’t ask us to raise the price directly,” the old man said grumpily.”But if he hadn’t caused so many problems and destroyed the original supply chain, there wouldn’t be so many problems now.”
“Uncle, your words are a little biased.”
The person who was queuing with him came over and said,””If it wasn’t for this Sea King, the situation would be stable, but the royal families of the four Seas and the Qin clan have monopolized all the life crystals. We can only be at their mercy forever!
Now that he’s here, at least we’re no longer a pool of stagnant water. Moreover, according to my observation, this person might really be thinking for the sake of our common people.
After all, he was representing the Lord seagod. What he wanted was the People’s hearts and stability, not the same as those royal family descendants who drank human blood.
Only if he really takes the top spot will there be a chance of the price of the life crystals dropping!”
The old man glanced at him and asked,”how do you know we’re not the same?” Just because he shouted a slogan, he was no longer a passerby? As the old saying goes, one can only listen to what he says and observe what he does. With the line we’re in right now, doesn’t he look like a passerby?”
