Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 459: You Are Absolutely Right to Raise the Price

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The viewers were speechless.

They knew what Xu Que's personality was like. He always did things according to his own will.

As he so desired, he could even price the ice cream at two hundred million Spirit Stones, not caring if this price was too high, as he already knew there would be someone who would still be willing to offer him money.

Still, the people were worried that if they did not buy it today, the price would go up to four or even five hundred million Spirit Stones tomorrow.

No one could really guess what Xu Que's attitude would be like from one moment to the next.

Although those influential figures were so angry that they were on the verge of passing out, they still did not dare to express their anger in front of him.

After all, if they did, their houses might be looted. They might even be forbidden from buying anything from his stores anymore.

For them, two hundred million Spirit Stones was not that much if their Spiritual Roots could be refined, or even changed for a better one.

Soon, the people calmed down. "Please wait! Fine, we would like to pay two hundred million Spirit Stones."

"Yes! Two hundred million Spirit Stones is totally fine."

"You are absolutely right to raise up the price."

"Yes! Well done to you!"

Some people even began to flatter Xu Que, whilst others felt disgusted by their behaviour.

However, these people did not care about losing face, as in their eyes, the Spiritual Root was the most important thing.

In the crowd, there were two people on the verge of tears.

They had only brought one hundred million Spirit Stones, and had now sent their servants to go back home to fetch some more. While they were waiting, they had even borrowed some from the people standing next to them.

After all, the effect the ice cream brought was really amazing. It could not only nourish and refine one's Spiritual Roots, but if one was lucky, they could even gain a new Spiritual Root.

Besides, Xu Que had said that there were only twenty Supreme Membership cards in total. So they felt that two hundred million Spirit Stones was totally worth it.

"Oh, is two hundred million Spirit Stones really fine?" Xu Que smiled.

Hearing this, they kept nodding.

"What if I raise it up to three hundred million Spirit Stones?"

Three hundred million Spirit Stones? Even if I agree, I have not got that many stones with me…

"Fine! I won't break my word and I shall not raise up the price. Two hundred million Spirit Stones will do."

Hearing this, they almost passed out.

Don't be ridiculous! You are not the type of person who would stick to his promises. Earlier, you said that we could become a member with only a hundred million Spirit Stones, and then you raised it to two hundred million Spirit Stones. You are indeed shameless.

Still, they forced out smiles. "Yes, you are right. You are someone who would always stick to his words."

"General Zhuge, you are the one I admire most in my life."

…

Hearing this, Xu Que felt very happy.

How shameless they are! Well, typical businessmen.

"Come inside then!"

Xu Que opened the door and let them in.

The old man and his granddaughter were still enjoying their ice cream, since it was really delicious.

After they came in, they stared at the ice cream as if their eyes had been stitched to it.

Soon, they all paid two hundred million Spirit Stones and received a Supreme Membership card, as well as a Häagen-Dazs of Exploding Heavens Faction Ice Cream Hotpot.

But, after they received the ice cream, they felt a bit upset. Each of them had only received one scoop of ice cream, which was much less than the amount the old man had gotten.

However, they did not dare complain. After all, the old man had been given the Big Box Family Meal.

But they still felt rather upset, since each of them had paid two hundred million Spirit Stones each and had only received one scoop of ice cream each, whereas the old man had received a whole box for free.

"General Zhuge, can we buy more ice cream? I would like to let my family taste it."

Xu Que frowned. "No, I have not even started to sell the ice cream yet. After I have sold out all twenty membership cards, I will begin to sell the ice cream for a limited amount."

Hearing this, they had no choice but to give up.

…

That night, the news about the old man and his granddaughter spread all over the city.

Everyone now knew that the Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream could not only nourish and refine one's Spiritual Roots, but also help them obtain a new one, and one could get a scoop of ice cream after paying two hundred million Spirit Stones to become a Supreme Member.

People got so excited that they stayed awake all night.

All the influential families tried every possible way they could to get two hundred million Spirit Stones. Some even prepared three hundred million Spirit Stones in total, since they were afraid that Xu Que might raise the price again.

It was completely dark, but the people from the influential families had already gathered in front of Xu Que's store to stand in line, waiting for the door to open.

But when they arrived, they were shocked to find that there were already more than thirty people standing in line in front of them.

There was also a billboard hanging outside, with a few words written on it: 'Only twenty cards available.'

Even so, they did not give up and hoped that Xu Que might change his mind and increase the amount of cards available. They believed that Xu Que would not be able to resist the temptation of two hundred million Spirit Stones.

Meanwhile, Xu Que was walking on the street, trying to buy some more stores.

…

The next morning, a bizarre sight appeared.

In the center of the market of the Imperial City, for the very first time ever, no one could be seen.

In the Tian Liu Chamber of Commerce, a few influential men from the business world gathered together.

"I have underestimated that young man."

"His food can even enhance one's Spiritual Roots and might even help someone get a new one."

"It seems that he can easily collect two billion Spirit Stones."

"You are right. I think the most important thing for us is to figure out how can we get a Supreme Membership card," a old man said rather seriously.

Hearing this, the rest were shocked.

"You haven't sent people to buy a membership for yourself?"

"What? You did?" the old man was stunned.

"Of course I have!"

"I did too."

"And I."

"F*ck! Why didn't you guys tell me about this?"

Then, he dashed out.

The rest of them stared at each other and forced out smiles.

"Actually, we have gathered together today to talk about the street where that young man's stores are located."

"In the past, it was a very desolate place. But with that young man's stores, the price of all the stores in the street have soared up. I think we can buy the whole street."

"I agree."

"Good idea!"

"We have to make move now. I think someone else has probably already made some moves."

"Let's send someone to do this right now!"
