Chapter 371 Shadow killing is also difficult
After Wang Hong walked into Dongzhou Commercial Bank, he found that most of the shelves in the store were empty.
What's even more strange is that the queue that lined up on the street didn't even make a mission transaction, and they all stared at each other, just waiting.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hong was a little confused. He remembered that he had given Liu Changsheng a large batch of supplies before leaving, and they should not have been consumed so quickly.
"Boss! Seeing that you have returned safely, I am finally relieved."
At this time, Xu Lun came out with a happy face. Wang Hong hadn’t returned before, especially when he heard that the monks on the first line of defense were wiped out.
"I have long said that the master's prosperity is equal to the sky, and the longevity is equal to the sky. How can a mere monster be the opponent of the master?"
"That's right! If the master comes out, any ghosts and monsters will stay away!"
This is the two brothers Hou Ma Zhong and Ma Yi who also followed, and hurried to Wang Hong, bowing their heads and looking like a slave.
"It's only now that you two dare to say that. Back then, you two were so scared that you had to go outside every day to check for gossip."
Xu Lun taunted the two of them and said that the two of them signed a slave blood contract with Wang Hong. If Wang Hong really died unfortunately, the two of them would be affected immediately.
"We are purely worried about the safety of our master. You can't understand our loyalty to our master." The loyal duo said solemnly.
The scene of four people talking in the lobby surprised the monks who were queuing up.
For Loyal and Righteous Heroes and Xu Lun, they used to be characters that they could not reach.
As the treasurer of a large commercial firm, Xu Lun has countless resources, needless to say.
As for the Ma brothers, as the famous second-tier alchemists in Qingxu City, they are naturally the targets of countless monks, but these two have never been moved.
But at this moment, the two of them suddenly changed into a pleasing and obedient image, and the arrogant image of being a second-rank alchemist in the past was completely gone.
Several people entered a quiet room while talking. At this moment, Wang Hong asked: "I just saw that the shelves in the store are all empty. Is our store out of stock?"
"There are still some goods, but the current market situation, no matter how many goods are put out, they will be swept away soon.
Therefore, we can only release some spiritual items every once in a while, and then it will soon cause panic buying. "
Xu Lun explained, "Now the shops in the whole city are out of stock, including the Wanbao Building.
There are only a very small number of people like us who release a batch of goods every few days, and many shops have not opened for a month.
No matter how much we release now, it will not save the whole city, and if there are too many, they will be confiscated.
A few days ago, a store bought a large amount of goods from the Immortal Merchant, and then sold them in large quantities. Then the City Lord’s Mansion sent a team of people to the door immediately, and confiscated most of the spiritual objects.
Although some rewards will be given when collecting, the profit will naturally be much less than selling in stores. "
After listening to Xu Lun's explanation, Wang Hong understood a little bit. He had fought against the Yaozu for more than ten years and consumed countless supplies.
Before at least the whole world of cultivating immortals fought against the demon clan together, and it was a little easier to bear.
And now the routes between the six major sects are all under the control of the monster race, and the materials between various places cannot be circulated.
Didn’t you see that even a store as powerful as Wanbaolou was out of stock, because they couldn’t ship their goods from other places.
But although there is a shortage of goods in the city now, he feels that it should be hoarded by many people and forces.
Because everyone feels that there is a shortage of something, they will stock up on something, and then the more they stock up, the more scarce it becomes.
Many forces have operated for tens of hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, and their accumulated materials should not be consumed so quickly.
"What about the queue outside?" Wang Hong asked again.
The Ma brothers saw Wang Hong talking with Xu Lun all the time. The two of them were too insignificant to be around. When they heard Wang Hong’s question, they finally caught a chance, and Ma Zhong rushed to answer it.
"The monks queuing up outside are all here to buy spirit wine, and we only supply a batch of spirit wine every five days.
It will be the day after tomorrow that we will sell the next batch of spirit wine. These people have been waiting here, some of them have been queuing for more than ten days. "
"Boss, you didn't go to Shouhou's place to see, there are more people queuing up there.
Often the spirit wine is sold out just after it is released from the cellar.
A few days ago, I also saw the patriarch of a small family insisting on stuffing his daughter into the skinny monkey. The skinny monkey was bragging all day long, but was scared away at a critical moment. "Ma Yi said with a smile.
"By the way, how is the alchemy level of the two of you?" Wang Hong changed the subject and asked.
"Please rest assured, my master, we two brothers have never dared to slack off in alchemy. Now the success rate of alchemy is over 70%, and every furnace will produce middle-grade elixir."
Ma Zhong said confidently, what he was talking about was the alchemy rate of refining multiple materials at the same time in one furnace. If only one part was refined in each furnace, the alchemy rate would be even higher.
The two of them are not good at fighting, but they are somewhat talented in alchemy. In addition, they work hard in this area. The current level of alchemy is not bad, and it is also at the upper level among second-level alchemists.
"Good! Not bad!" Wang Hong praised.
Wang Hong praised the Ma brothers, and their hearts were sweeter than honey. They flattered so much and didn't get a word of praise. Thinking about how rare this compliment is, they still need to work harder on flattering in the future.
Wang Hong chatted with Xu Lun here for a while, and then left Dongzhou Commercial Bank. He did not raise any opinions on the current operating conditions, and still maintained the original status.
After that, he went to Zhao Ning's Zhao's Pill Pavilion and Shouhou's Winery to check, but they were all in a state of shortage of supplies.
When he was in Shouhou's winery, he actually saw a monk and a pretty girl inquiring about Shouhou's whereabouts.
Wang Hong inspected several shops, and then left Qingxu City alone, planning to visit the base run by Liu Changsheng.
He was alone this time, and he left the city without any disguise. He had been paying attention to whether Shadow Killer would send someone to kill him.
Therefore, he remained vigilant along the way, but whenever he encountered a monk, he was ready to explode at any time and kill him with a thunderous force.
It's a pity that the result made him a little disappointed. From the beginning to the end, no one jumped out to kill him, not even anyone who was willing to take a second look at him.
Actually, he doesn't know that Shadow Killer is having a hard time now, they are all lurking in Qingxu City with other identities.
But after the battle with the monster clan broke out, they were all recruited to the front line to defend against the monster beasts, and it was difficult to even communicate with each other.
