I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 512 People’s hearts are fickle

The City Lord's Mansion's response was quicker than expected.

They did not stop the transactions between the Rainbow Nest Clan and the examinees. After all, the rules outside the city were very loose and the economic system was very weak. If they stopped it forcefully, they would only slap themselves in the face.

However, the City Lord's Mansion's method was not very smart. They directly drastically reduced the points that could be exchanged for the Scorpion Tail.

Originally, one scorpion tail could be exchanged for 200 points, and those with a higher level of evolution could be exchanged for 300 points. The materials produced by other stronger scorpions increased in sequence.

However, the City Lord's Mansion directly ordered that starting today, the price of all scorpion tails would be reduced by thirty percent.

The reason given was also very simple and crude: "Someone deliberately manipulated the purchasing power of market points, so we made corresponding changes."

People's opposition was suppressed by another decree: "As long as you redeem enough points at the redemption point at one time, you only need to pay 20,000 points to obtain the qualification to enter the city."

As soon as the news came out, everyone fell silent.

The interview qualification for entering the city is 30,000 points, and 20,000 points is a 36% discount.

At this moment, those who were originally eager to exchange double points with the Rainbow Nest Clan suddenly hesitated - as long as they accumulated enough items to exchange points, it would indirectly save one-third of the time for completing the task...

Now, if they go to the redemption point for the scorpion tails they have, they can only exchange them for 210 points, but if they go to the Rainbow Nest Clan, they can exchange them for 600 points. However, if they accumulate enough items to exchange for points, the points in their hands will have stronger purchasing power.

Aren’t they collecting points here just to get into the city?

While people were hesitating, new news came.

Someone exchanged enough points to obtain an interview qualification to enter the city, and he used the original exchange amount, which was 30,000 points.

However, a few hours later, the man walked out of the city gate in a daze.

Failed the interview...

As soon as the news came out, the candidates all understood what had happened.

In the past, although it was a qualification for an interview, as long as the points were obtained legitimately and no malicious incidents had occurred outside the city, the so-called interview was equivalent to a household registration check, and few people would be stuck at this step.

But now, the interview is a real interview...which conveys another meaning: taking sides.

Sure enough, next, there was a candidate who was very nervous and took out many items at once and went to the exchange point to redeem 21,000 points. His interview to enter the city went smoothly, and within half an hour he began to wave his hands excitedly at his companions on the city wall.

"I did it! I did it!"

Under the sharp contrast, the candidates were suddenly separated.

Some people think that the City Lord's Mansion of Paradise City has gone back on its word, and that the Rainbow Nest Clan is helping everyone, so they will stand by the Rainbow Nest Clan even if they have to stay outside the city for a longer time.

Another group of people felt that everyone was going to the city and there was no need to make things difficult for themselves.

The group of candidates, who were originally considered united and friendly, began to voice opposition to each other.

Among these voices, there are also some smarter ones.

"Hey, brother, do you have a scorpion tail in your hand?" Someone approached Sean stealthily.

Sean looked at him and just nodded slightly.

The latter's eyes lit up immediately: "Four hundred per stick, how about it, will you pay?"

Sean raised his eyebrows and said, "The Rainbow Nest clan has 600. I won't go there to pay. Should I pay you?"

The man quickly advised, "Didn't you see that there are people from the security team watching the exchange point of the Rainbow Nest Clan? Tsk, those stingy people, if you exchange at the Rainbow Nest and then go to exchange for interview qualifications, they will definitely not let you pass the interview."

"What about you?" Sean said.

The man rolled his eyes and said, "I plan to save it and sell it after this matter is over. Hey, don't say that the price I gave is low. The price of scorpion tails will definitely drop in the future. I am taking a risk."

"Forget it, I'll think about it again."

"Okay, come to me when you've made up your mind. But I have to remind you that the price will be different after one, two, or ten days."

The man said a few more words and then left.

Sean smiled helplessly. Sure enough, reselling would occur at any time. As for what the other party said about waiting for the storm to pass, that was pure nonsense. He would collect scorpion tails from those hesitant people, and then sell them to the Rainbow Nest Clan. He would buy and sell again, and resell continuously. The difference would come out, and he could naturally accumulate many scorpion tails.

Once the amount is sufficient, he can go to the exchange point to exchange for the interview qualifications in one go, without having to worry about being blocked from the interview by the City Lord's Mansion.

It was quite smart to suck the blood of Rainbow Nest and the hesitant candidates, and then stand on the side of the City Lord's Mansion.

Sean didn't comment much, just observed everything that happened outside the city.

As time went by, the atmosphere among the candidates outside the city became more and more weird, and the originally orderly system began to become chaotic again. In just a few days, many violent incidents broke out in the camp that was originally full of joy.

The source is nothing more than taking sides, reselling and other incidents.

Sean's brows furrowed even tighter. He didn't care about this kind of situation. What made him unhappy was that the news had not yet been passed on.

Not many people knew that he was back, so according to the rules set before, such changes needed to be reported to him in a timely manner. Sean went to find Enderly, but got a reply that there was no news.

Someone is pretending to obey but secretly disobeying...

He did not receive any feedback on the previous news that the Madmon and mutants were evolving too quickly.

"It's so annoying. After all, I am now the behind-the-scenes emperor of the empire. It's time to achieve success and fame and start writing a glorious history..." Sean, whose temper has improved a lot recently under the care of Ran Xinzhu, suddenly became unhappy.

And if he is unhappy, it means someone needs to disappear.

"People's hearts are changeable, people's hearts are changeable."

At the city gate, Sean looked at the crowd in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, can I go call for help?" The person following Sean was one of his former personal guards, who is now also a core member of the Golden Ghost's management.

However, Jin Gui rarely participates in the daily management of Paradise City, and few people know him.

Sean shook his head: "Let's see how they deal with it. At least there is some friendship. I'm not the kind of unreasonable person."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the eldest brother. What you say is really interesting."

Sean kicked the other man on the butt and cursed, "You said I'm unreasonable?"

"No, no."

The guard retracted his smile, rubbed his butt, and shrank back, with a look of grievance on his face.

This is really new. I have been following my big brother for so many years. When will my big brother ever be able to be reasonable?

Arriving at the city gate, Sean looked around and then waved his hand. The guards immediately understood and brought tables and chairs to set up a simple stall.

"Exchange points: 600 points for each scorpion tail. If you exchange 50 scorpion tails at a time, you can get an interview qualification and a gift - a guaranteed pass in the interview."
