Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"It's not good, Mr. Lu, it's not good..."

Before Lu Li could enter the meeting hall, Lin Tianxia trotted out from inside.

Not to mention the stability of the head of the Lin family, he looked like a panicked child.

"Don't worry, old man, go in and talk."

Although Lu Li was anxious in his heart, he was still calm on the surface.

Everyone entered the meeting hall and took their seats.

After Mr. Lin had regained his breath, Lu Li asked for relevant details.

In a simple summary, just one sentence——

Some people in the market have begun to purchase gold in large quantities.

It was not the Qian family that Lu Li had notified, but several forces whose details were unknown.

Because of the intervention of these forces, the price of gold, which is as cheap as a piece of grass, has been rising.

Originally, it only took 1 first-order elemental crystal to exchange for 1 kilogram of gold, but now it requires 5 second-order elemental crystals to purchase it.

And it can only be done if there are enough similar news about selling gold.

If you want to force the purchase, the price may have to be raised to 8 second-order elemental crystals!

Although the Lin family can afford this price,

But I can't hold it back and it keeps rising like crazy!

Lin Tianxia was worried that the late report might affect Lu Li's plan, so he hurriedly called the young man back from the hub.

"If you can't find out the details of the other party, do you have any directions or guesses?"

Lu Li asked casually, his face uncertain.

Sooner or later the secret of gold will be revealed, but never sooner.

Is it because the Lin family's aggressive acquisitions attracted the attention of other forces with a keen sense of smell?

Or is it that someone, like him, discovered the incomparable importance of gold in advance?

The latter is probably unlikely.

After all, the person with the highest level in the world right now is still Lu Li, who is level 28.

Gold initially shows its effect at level 30.

That is, after the job transfer task is started.

To strengthen specialized equipment, gold is required to join!

Although now there are also "chosen professionals" who change jobs in advance.

But they can only use specialized equipment in advance.

In order to strengthen, you also need to wait until the player's own level reaches level 30.

It stands to reason that no one should know the role of gold.

Lin Tianxia heard Lu Li's question and immediately replied:

"There are directions and speculations. I think it might be Lu..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly seemed to realize something and carefully looked at Lu Li's expression.

He immediately changed his mind:

"...Well, it may be that two 'Heaven-level' families are operating, and several 'Earth-level' families are following suit. These big families have a very keen sense of smell..."

"Are the Lu family and Gao family...'prefecture level' families? Which ones do you think they will be?"

Lu Li shook his head carelessly, his intention was to make Lin Tianxia relax and not be so taboo.

Little did he know that with some words, Mr. Lin seemed to be understood as someone else in his eyes.

He looked like he didn't take the 'Heavenly' family into consideration at all!

"At the prefecture level, Wan, Tu, Liu, and Bai are all possible..."

"I'm useless old man. I can only make blind guesses without any solid basis. I let Mr. Lu down."

Lin Tianxia's voice trembled, obviously more restrained than before.

"The old man is serious."

Lu Li looked helpless and comforted:

“It’s only a matter of time before your gold acquisition gets noticed, so don’t blame yourself too much.”

"You can bid with those forces first to ensure the gold purchase."

"Uh... are you going to start a price war?" Lin Tianxia asked tentatively.

"Well... you can think so, although that's not my intention." Lu Li blinked.

Gold, that is, fine gold, will be much more valuable than Yuan Jing in the future!

Yuanjing can be obtained continuously by killing monsters;

But gold, use a little and get a little less.

In addition to the later production of a monster called [Golden Scarab],

The only way to obtain it is to exchange it with various high-quality props or super-level elemental crystals at [Wanjie Traveling Merchant].

And you may not always have a chance, it depends on luck.

So at this stage, even if the gold needs to be exchanged for third-order elemental crystals, or even fourth-order or fifth-order elemental crystals, it will still be profitable.

But this does not mean that Lu Li wants to start a price war.

After all, if the price of gold skyrockets, it will inevitably attract the attention of more forces.

By then, even if no one knows the specific use of gold, they will regard it as a profitable resource.

The phenomenon of acquisition and hoarding will become more and more serious.

Lu Li's idea was to prepare to buy gold for a while.

When the price of gold soars to the point where it requires fourth- and fifth-order elemental crystals to replace it, sell it in large quantities!

As a result, those forces that follow the trend of acquisitions but do not know the true use of gold will definitely be in chaos.

The price of gold will plummet!

The entire market still belongs to him, Lu Li.

"...Continue to purchase, and when the price of gold rises to the point where fifth-level elemental crystals are needed to be exchanged, sell a large amount of gold to bring the price down!"

"We can ask the Qian family to cooperate during this period. They have been doing business for generations and should be very good at this."

"All in all, there is only one ultimate goal, and that is to collect as much gold as possible!"

Lin Tianxia listened blankly to Lu Li's arrangement, his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.

It’s not that he’s stupid and can’t understand;

It was because he didn't understand why Lu Li worked so hard.

Although the young man once told him that gold is an important resource!

But it never said what role gold could play in the future.

Being so 'insistent on going your own way' and hoarding a large amount of resources of unknown use will inevitably make people worried.

What if the prediction is wrong?

What if gold is not as valuable as imagined in the future?

A lot of manpower and material resources are spent on hoarding, and the losses will be huge!

But doubts are doubts.

After all, Lin Tianxia still didn't question Lu Li's decision.

Not only because the other party is the head of the Lin family,

It’s more about unconditional trust!

Lu Li is good at creating miracles.

It was able to save the Lin family from disaster and step by step into the forefront of the 'human-level' family, so the arrangement now will definitely be right!

Even if it's wrong, that's the fate of the Lin family!

After all, without Lu Li, the Lin family would have been destroyed long ago.

"I understand, please don't worry, Mr. Lu!"

"I may not be very good at making adjustments when things get tough, but I have no problem following the plan!"

Lu Li nodded and brought the topic to land reclamation and population absorption.

The key point is to reclaim as much wasteland as possible to sow seeds before the rift breaks out to absorb the population of the refuge.

After communicating for a while, Lin Tianxia said goodbye and left to arrange work for his subordinates.

Lu Li opened the data panel and wrote a coded reply to Ao Zhan's long list of messages:

"The Secret Realm of Rules took too long. I have other arrangements in the past few days, so I will just go to the Secret Realm of Opportunities."

Once the message was sent, it received a quick response:

"No problem, I'll give you the admission ticket. See you in the secret area in ten minutes!"
