Chapter 76: Master of Silver Armor Runes
In just one day, Su Hao had already sold half of his "junk" and recovered all the costs.
Surprisingly, some people tried to sneak in and make a second purchase, but Su Hao's radar didn't miss a thing. He marked a big "X" on the avatar of every person who had already made a purchase.
Those who caused trouble had their arms discounted by Su Hao and thrown out of the shop. Outside the shop, Su Hao set up a rule: anyone who violated the rule would have their arms broken.
After a night of brewing, news spread to various exploration teams and trade guilds.
The next day, his shop was packed with people.
When Su Hao opened the door, they waved their money bags, their faces red.
"I'll offer thirty silver coins! Sell it to me first!"
"Screw you! I was here first. I'll offer fifty silver coins. Serve me first!"
"I'll give one gold coin!"
"F*ck! I'll give one gold coin and one silver coin!"
Unexpectedly, chaos erupted in an instant.
Su Hao glanced and instantly estimated the number of people with Little Light. He compared it to the remaining quantity of long knives he had, and there were still enough long knives.
Then business could proceed as usual.
Soon, the long knives and armor were sold out as people continued to rush in. Anybody who tried to play tricks was identified by Su Hao, had their arms broken, and was thrown out of the shop without exception.
When all the long knives and armor were sold out, many people remained outside the shop, eagerly watching Su Hao.
Su Hao shouted loudly, "Tomorrow, a new batch of goods will arrive, and anyone can make a purchase. Even those who have bought long knives and armor can participate. It's first come, first served until we sell out!"
Everyone became excited.
The next day, even before dawn, Su Hao's shop was packed with people, resembling a scene of people queuing up for vaccinations.
Rolling, rolling, rolling!
When the day was fully bright, Su Hao opened the door to welcome his customers.
"Today's goods are only one silver coin each! Only one silver coin!"
Everyone went into an uproar! This was a highly profitable deal!
"However, today's goods are somewhat special, but they are extremely valuable. If you buy them, you will possess a hundred long knives and a hundred sets of armor. I'm not exaggerating! You can also smoothly advance to the Master level and reach the pinnacle of life!"
"Aren't you curious about what it is?"
Everyone stared at Su Hao with fiery eyes.
Su Hao shouted loudly, "That's right! Today, what we are selling is the method for creating special long knives and armor. It's simple to learn and quick to master! Once you obtain it, you will possess countless powerful armor weapons."
"Come on! Let's buy it! Buy it! Buy it!!!"
Su Hao opened the door and pulled back the curtain that had been hiding the neatly arranged books.
The ensuing scene was explosive and unimaginable.
Although the rule was limited to one book per person, some still left empty-handed, feeling extremely regretful.
On this day, those who could seize the opportunity would soar to new heights, while those who missed it would pay a heavy price, irrecoverable.
That's how life is; opportunities often slip away in an instant. And these fleeting opportunities would directly impact one's lifetime and even future generations. Perhaps it would last for a hundred years, two hundred years, or even a thousand years.
On the third day, while everyone was waiting for Su Hao to open his shop, he had already carried a large amount of money and quickly headed to other towns.
...
Six days later, in the most prosperous area of a small town called Zhujiu Town, Su Hao opened a special weapon shop.
Same strategy.
Su Hao triggered a buying frenzy in this town. Although not everyone could read, they believed that if others were buying, it must be a good purchase, especially when it only cost one silver coin.
Then came Shuangshi Town, Baisha Town, and Dalin Town...
In just two months, Su Hao spread a large number of books across more than twenty human towns.
At the beginning, he had to resort to some tricks, but later on, as soon as his shop opened, a large group of people would be waiting at the door to make a purchase.
It turned out that when Su Hao arrived at the third town, news about the "Master of Silver Armor Runes" had spread to the surrounding human towns. Many people knew about a powerful armor expert who specialized in selling books that contained detailed and comprehensive knowledge about rune weapon production and martial artist advancement, surpassing any books available on the market.
Eventually, Su Hao didn't even need to advertise using weapons and armor. He simply sold books, loaded the prepared books onto a cart, and demonstrated the special effects of his two knives and armor right on the street before starting the sales.
In less than a day, Su Hao sold out and disappeared from the city with the money.
No one knew where this faceless guy came from, where he was going, or even his name. They simply called him the "Master of Silver Armor Runes."
While Su Hao was fervently selling books, Meng Donghua, the mayor of a town, received the complete versions of "The Path of Martial Artists" and "Rune Compendium." After carefully reading them, he was astonished.
The books thoroughly analyzed the path of martial artist advancement. Even as a Master-level martial artist, he gained a wealth of unheard-of knowledge and insights from the books.
What was Blood Qi Enhancement Wave? It could actually accelerate the accumulation of Blood Qi. What was the Centrifugal Force Technique? It could accelerate the transformation of Blood Qi! The views presented in these books were unheard of, but they were well-founded and not baseless claims.
What shocked him the most was the simplification of Beast Patterns. They had managed to condense complex Beast Patterns into a circular array, dissecting each small piece and explaining their effects in detail.
Could they be freely combined based on the principles to achieve desired effects?
How genius was this? How extraordinary!
Meng Donghua tried it for himself. It worked!
All the runes described in "Rune Compendium" were feasible.
He attempted to engrave the runes onto a suit of armor using the gold wireworm described in the book as a pattern. The armor successfully activated. It worked!
After learning that these two books had spread widely, he immediately realized that a major event was about to unfold!
Meng Donghua carefully wrapped the two books, put on his armor, and hurried to the main city.
Three days later, he arrived at the royal palace of the main city to request an audience with the King, commonly known as the "Human King."
The master-level guards at the gate bowed, "Mayor Meng, the Human King and the Eight Elders are in a meeting. Please come back."
The Human King was the lord of the main city and Ancheng City, overseeing fifty-two subordinate towns, including Lingyun Town.
The human race had nine main cities, with the other eight being smaller than the main city. The Eight Elders were the respective leaders of the eight main cities, referred to as kings, and they all respected the Human King as the Grand Elder.
Meng Donghua
urgently said, "I have something important to report that concerns the development and foundation of the human race!"
The guard smiled, "Is it about 'The Path of Martial Artists' and 'Rune Compendium'?"
Meng Donghua was taken aback, "You know about it?"
The guard chuckled, "We received the news a month ago."
Meng Donghua immediately said, "Uh..."
The guard explained, "These two books are of great importance. The Human King sent the fastest messenger a long time ago to invite the Eight Elders to Ancheng City for a meeting. They have just arrived after a long journey last night. So, you don't need to worry about it."
Meng Donghua bid farewell.
Outside, he unexpectedly encountered many colleagues in the street, discussing these two books. Some were amazed, some were frightened, some were uneasy, some were worried, some were excited, and some were ecstatic...
There were various reactions.
Overall, some were concerned about their positions being threatened, some were worried that the dissemination of rune knowledge would cause turmoil among the human race, some were exhilarated by the emergence of this powerful weapon for the human race, while others were shocked to learn such genius-like knowledge. Of course, there were also those who were influenced by Su Hao's inspirational quotes.
The two books stirred up the entire human race.
Meng Donghua murmured, "Am I the last one to know?"
