Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 657 Gambler

"With absolute sincerity, we hope that Pavilion Master Xu can come in person and have a frank and frank talk."

In the reception room, Tantaiqin, which has reached the seventh level, is facing Zhang Yan, who is only at the sixth level. Her words are calm and powerful.

Zhang Yan just smiled at this: "The Pavilion Master has given me full authority on this matter. If Fairy Tantai has any intention, she can directly negotiate with me. I guarantee that there will be no difference between the two."

"..."

Tantaiqin was silent for a while, looked at her coldly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Pavilion Master Xu is still unwilling to accept our goodwill!"

"No!"

Zhang Yan shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Wanbao Pavilion is willing to accept everyone's goodwill and is willing to live in harmony with everyone. However, some things are fundamental principles and cannot be changed!"

"..."

Facing Zhang Yan's words, Tantai Qin remained silent again, and said after a long time: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will talk to Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang on behalf of Kunlun Wonderland."

Zhang Yan smiled: "Please!"

"We in Kunlun Wonderland are willing to cooperate with Pavilion Master Xu!"

Tantai Qin was also direct: "Help Wanbao Pavilion and Pavilion Master Xu overcome the difficulty of the seventh level. Even the eighth and ninth levels are not a problem."

"oh?"

Zhang Yan was not surprised when she heard this. She chuckled to Tantai Qin and said, "May I ask how Kunlun Wonderland plans to cooperate with Wanbao Pavilion?"

"On all sides!"

Tantaiqin said in a deep voice: "Including injecting capital into Wanbao Pavilion, stabilizing Wanbao Point, and even directly forming an alliance, and sending reinforcements to fight against Mo Yuan after Pavilion Master Xu advances to the seventh level."

"Very sincere indeed!"

Zhang Yan nodded and asked: "What does Wanbao Pavilion need to pay?"

"..."

Tantaiqin was silent for a moment, and then said: "We in Kunlun Wonderland are helping Wanbao Pavilion for the sake of the general interests of the people, not for our own selfish interests. We do not need anything in return. Even after Pavilion Master Xu advances to the seventh level, we, Kunlun Wonderland, are willing to help Wanbao Pavilion." , becoming the new immortal force in Babel Tower."

Zhang Yan smiled without changing her expression: "We know the good intentions of Kunlun Wonderland, but as mentioned in the preface, some things are fundamental principles that cannot be changed, and I am sorry that they cannot be changed, so if you have any questions, the fairy should say it clearly."

Tantaiqin looked at her, silent again, and then said: "We don't ask for much, we just hope that Pavilion Master Xu can make some concessions for the overall interests of the people, and resolve the grudges with Tongtian Immortal Palace. Don't be the one who hurts the relatives and the enemies. The fight between snipe and clam in Babel Tower will only benefit the fishermen of Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss."

"What the fairy said is wrong!"

Zhang Yan shook her head after hearing this: "This matter has been caused by Tongtian Immortal Palace's misbehavior from the very beginning. They have violated our Wanbao Pavilion several times. Even so, the Pavilion Master still ordered the intruders to stop. He only responded to the intruders and never punished them. As the situation escalates, I don’t know how much I can hold back compared to Mo Yuan, so how can I say that I don’t care about the overall situation?”

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Tantai Qin fell silent again.

"Fairy Tantai should have a deep understanding of this."

Zhang Yan ignored it and continued: "Such words should not be said to me, Wanbao Pavilion, but to Tongtian Immortal Palace and those people."

"Over the years, they have made various moves overtly and covertly to suppress me, Wanbao Pavilion, but I, Wanbao Pavilion, have never used swords against them. Is this because I, Wanbao Pavilion, have no courage and do not dare to fight with them?"

"No, it's because the Pavilion Master is magnanimous and doesn't want my Babel Tower to consume itself inside and let the Ten Thousand Demonic Abyss benefit from outside!"

"Does Fairy Tantai really want to come to Wanbao Pavilion to talk about these four words, the overall situation of the people?"

"..."

Zhang Yan's words caused Tantai Qin to fall into silence for a long time before she responded: "We know that Pavilion Master Xu is magnanimous, but Tongtian Immortal Palace is still an immortal sect, and it needs some dignity. As long as Wanbao Pavilion gives it to you, Steps, both sides can turn hostility into friendship..."

"how?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Zhang Yan said coldly: "He wants face in Tongtian Immortal Palace, but I don't want face in Wanbao Pavilion. Could it be that the face of Tongtian Immortal Palace is more important than the overall situation of the common people?"

"..."

The last four words of the reply were really impressive.

Tantai Qin was speechless and could only avoid the topic: "In this case, the grievances between Tongtian Immortal Palace and Wanbao Pavilion will be resolved by Tongtian Immortal Palace and Wanbao Pavilion on their own. I, Kunlun Wonderland, will not interfere or hinder To cooperate with Wanbao Pavilion, I just hope Pavilion Master Xu can agree to something."

"oh?"

Zhang Yan then asked: "What's the matter?"

"market price!"

Tantaiqin's eyes flashed: "I hope that after this difficulty is over, Wanbao Pavilion can equal the market price with all parties, and will not engage in malicious competition and disrupt the market. This is the only request of Kunlun Wonderland and all parties."

Zhang Yan shook her head after hearing this: "Kunlun Wonderland said this because he thinks that Wanbao Pavilion has disrupted the market and harmed the interests of all parties?"

Tantai Qin met her gaze and said calmly: "It's understandable that this is a temporary measure, but it cannot be a long-term solution!"

"What is the long term?"

Zhang Yan looked at her and said coldly: "We will not talk about the overall situation of the common people at this time. We, Wanbao Pavilion, make small profits but quick turnover, benefiting the public, not for the long term, not for the overall situation. Fairy Tantai's statement really puzzles me. !”

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Tantai Qin fell silent again, looking at her coldly for a long time before speaking: "Does Pavilion Master Xu really want to have his own way?"

Zhang Yan shook her head and sighed: "It is not me, Wanbao Pavilion, who insists on having his own way!"

"In that case, I have no choice but to say goodbye!"

Hearing this, Tan Taiqin stood up without saying anything and said, "There are still three thousand years. If Pavilion Master Xu changes his mind, you can come to Kunlun Realm at any time."

After saying that, regardless of Zhang Yan's reaction, she stood up and left.

...

Walking out of the Wanbao Pavilion, looking at the long queue of people, Tan Taiqin shook her head and went straight to the seventh floor area.

Ten thousand years have passed, and many scattered lords have been promoted to the middle level, let alone her fairyland with god-level talent?

Even though she suffered heavy losses and her status in the family plummeted, she still relied on her perseverance to catch up step by step and climbed to the top again. Now she has not only been promoted to the seventh level, but also ranked at the top of the reputation list. There is no suspense about being promoted to the eighth level, and there is great hope for the ninth level.

In this way, she condescended to put aside the past grievances and came to negotiate, but the Wanbao Pavilion still refused to be persuaded and resisted to the end. To be honest, it really made people angry.

But even though she was angry, Tan Taiqin knew that this risk could not be taken by her Kunlun Fairyland.

In fact, if it weren't for the excessive production of Wanbao Pavilion in recent years, which seriously disrupted the market and hurt the interests to an intolerable level, Kunlun Fairyland would not have let her come to wade into this muddy water today.

Although the negotiations failed now, this responsibility still cannot be taken by her Kunlun Fairyland, it has to be...

"Fairy Tan Tai, please!"

In a shop on the seventh floor, a manager greeted Tan Taiqin with a smile and led her into the guest room.

There were already people waiting in the guest room, two young men with extraordinary demeanor and outstanding temperament.

"Zhou Shuwen!"

"Zhou Tianqi!"

Looking at the two people who entered the seventh level at the same time, Tan Taiqin walked forward without changing her expression: "You two Taoist friends have been waiting here for a long time, right?"

"Ha!"

"No way!"

Compared to Zhou Shuwen who looked indifferent, Zhou Tianqi was generous and even joked with her: "Your Taoist looks like this, it seems that you have hit a lot of walls in Wanbao Pavilion. Alas, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin, he doesn't know how to cherish women, nor does he know the etiquette of Zhou Dao."

"Hmph!"

Tan Taiqin snorted coldly, and didn't respond to this. She only cast her eyes on Zhou Shuwen on the side: "What is the plan of Tongtian Fairy Palace? Do you really want to cut off the source of the fire and make a mortal enemy with him?"

"Why, isn't it a mortal enemy now?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shuwen just spoke, causing Zhou Tianqi on the side to fall silent.

This Zhou Shuwen was none other than the representative of the Zhou clan, the third-rank lord who went to Wanbao Pavilion to negotiate with him. He was also Zhou Tianqi's cousin. Zhou Tianqi's connection with Tan Taiqin and Ning Bozhong to attack Xu Yang's territory was the result of his involvement.

Compared with Zhou Tianqi and the other two who were imprisoned, his loss was not as severe, but it was not much better. He became a frightened bird. As soon as Xu Yang advanced, he wanted to escape immediately, fearing that he would be liquidated and retaliated.

In this way, ten thousand years passed, and although he also reached the seventh-rank realm, he gave up a lot because of the rapid advancement. Both his strength and potential were greatly reduced. He used to be the top of the third-rank list, but now he is not even ranked in the seventh-rank thousand, and even lags behind Zhou Tianqi, his cousin.

Even so, today's matter still depends on him!

It's not about how big his background is, but this matter must depend on him.

After all, there is a beginning and an end. If things succeed, there is no need to say more. If things fail, someone will be held responsible. As the abandoned pawn that ended this matter, he was thrown out to ease the relationship between the two sides and turn hostility into friendship.

Zhou Shuwen also knew that if he could not suppress that person this time, destroy his roots and break his spine, then with his potential, he would definitely enter the ninth level in the future. Tongtian Fairy Palace would not fight him to the end, and must throw out a scapegoat to resolve this matter.

He is the scapegoat, the abandoned pawn that has been pinched at the fingertips.

This is his only chance now. He must do everything he can to destroy that person to ensure that he will not be abandoned.

Therefore, this matter is a deadly feud for him, a deadly feud that cannot be resolved!

Compared with him, although Zhou Tianqi has some retreats, it is not much better, otherwise why would he appear here?

Seeing the two of them like this, Tan Taiqin said without saying much, and went straight to the point: "Then get ready to fight, we will cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shuwen immediately sneered: "It seems that you still have hope and are deceived by his appearance. This man is ambitious and vindictive. The reason why he has not used swords in recent years is not because he is magnanimous and considers the overall situation, but because he does not have enough savings and dares not do things too extreme!"

"If we can't suppress him this time, and then let him defeat the Demon Abyss and reach the top of the seventh level with an invincible posture, then his rise will be unstoppable. When he advances to the ninth level, do you think he will tear his face with you and settle today's affairs?"

"..."

Tan Taiqin frowned and looked at the hidden Zhou Shuwen, who was a little crazy, said, "What do you want to say?"

"Some things should either be done without doing them or done to the extreme!"

Zhou Shuwen sneered, "Anyone who cherishes his life when doing great things and forgets his life when seeing small profits will eventually fail and burn himself!"

Tan Taiqin looked at him coldly, "You could have said it more clearly!"

"Ha!"

Zhou Shuwen sneered, "I hope you won't hold back. If you give him a chance to live now, it will be a dead end for us in the future."

After that, regardless of Tan Taiqin's reaction, he turned his eyes to Zhou Tianqi, "Let's start. Throw out all the ten thousand points in our hands. I want to make his situation collapse as quickly as possible."

"Yeah!"

Zhou Tianqi nodded and turned away.

Seeing this, Tan Taiqin turned around and left without saying anything.

At this point, although they had already torn their faces apart, they did not have many means at their disposal.

Directly attacking would be like sending him food, which would actually help him become stronger.

They could only start with the Wandao Points and sell all the Wandao Points they held, causing the Wandao Points market to collapse and causing a collective panic run.

Because the Wandao Points were linked to the Tongtian Coins, once a collective run on the Wanbao Pavilion was made, the Tongtian Coins would have to be used to fill the gap. If the Tongtian Coins were not enough, resources, items, weapons and equipment, and heroic arms would have to be used to offset them.

Therefore, their move was a plan to cut off the firewood from under the cauldron, directly digging out the foundation of the Wanbao Pavilion. Even if the Wanbao Pavilion had a strong foundation and would not be run out of bankruptcy, it would still suffer heavy losses and be seriously injured.

In recent years, Moyuan has been avoiding the man's front, leaving him no chance to profit from the war. He could only rely on the operation of the Wanbao Pavilion to grow himself, causing the Wandao Points to become bigger and bigger.

If Wandao Points collapses at this time, he will not have enough resources to develop after entering the seventh level.

Without enough resources to develop, after the three thousand years of safety time is over, can he still resist the desperate Demon Abyss?

Of course, he can also break his promise and directly close the exchange of Wandao Points, or even no longer recognize this private currency.

But the consequence of this is that his Wanbao Pavilion will completely lose its credibility. Even if it can withstand the attack of the seventh level of the Demon Abyss, what about after the seventh level?

The Demon Abyss can spend a lot of money and use the same trick again to avoid its edge again, leaving him no chance to profit from the war.

Wanbao Pavilion has completely lost its credibility and can no longer operate and make profits. In this way, how can he continue to grow and develop to face the difficulties of the eighth and ninth levels?

So, this is a dead end, a dead end that will die sooner or later!

But the premise of this dead end is that Wandao Points will collapse, a complete collapse.

So...

In front of the shops on each floor of the Tower of Babel, Wanbao Pavilion, and other floors.

There are huge crowds of people, long queues, and everyone is eager to see it.

"It's down again, down again!"

"Damn it, the one in front, hurry up, what are you delaying, are you waiting to die?"

"The Wandao Conference is not open anymore, are you just giving up?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't change now, it will become waste paper in a while."

"I should have sold it earlier, but now the price is... I'm losing all my money, losing all my money!"

"Do you have any conscience? How much did you make from Wandao Points before? Now there is a little risk and you come here crying and shouting to run a run on it. Are you doing this to Wanbao Pavilion?"

"That's right, even if Wandao Points collapses, it's because of you running a run on it!"

"It's not too late to stop now, let's help Wanbao Pavilion get through this difficult time together, so that we won't lose all our money!"

"That's right, so what if he's at the seventh level? With the strength of the Wanbao Pavilion Master, even if he can't suppress the Demon Abyss again, he can still defend his territory. It's not a problem, what are you trying to squeeze!"

"There are still three thousand years of safety time, even if there is a squeeze, it won't be at this moment, right?"

"You are not in a hurry, why are you queuing here?"

"What a bullshit favor, let's talk business, how much did Wanbao Pavilion earn from these Wandao points before, and now it collapses and wants everyone to be buried with him?"

"Three thousand years, three thousand years, my bones have melted, you tell me that after three thousand years, he may be able to withstand the Demon Abyss and let these Wandao points appreciate again?"

"Don't joke, the higher the level, the greater the gap, even if he can withstand the seventh level, what about the eighth and ninth levels, this thing will collapse sooner or later, and now he can get back some of his money if he withdraws, but it will be too late and he will have nothing."

Everyone was talking and arguing fiercely, looking at the price signs erected outside Wanbao Pavilion and the changes in the reputation list, everyone was anxious.

At this moment...

"It's falling again, falling again!"

"Why has it fallen so much?"

"Damn it, which bastard is selling like this?"

"It must be Tongtian Fairy Palace and other major forces. Only they hold such a large number of Wandao Points."

"These bastards, are they going to force me to death?"

The values ​​on the price board and the reputation list suddenly jumped, falling to the bottom of the valley like a landslide.

Price board, reputation list, both are not difficult to understand.

The former is the real-time price board of Wandao Points erected in front of the Wanbao Pavilion. The more people exchange, the lower the market price of Wandao Points, and vice versa.

Of course, because the Wandao Point transaction is privately owned by Wanbao Pavilion, there is no supervision and guarantee, and there is a possibility of fraud, so it is also necessary to cooperate with the reputation list to check.

Because Wanbao Pavilion is the property of the Wanbao Pavilion owner, and Wandao Points itself has no value and is not recognized by Tongtian Tower, once someone exchanges Wandao Points for Tongtian coins and various resources recognized by Tongtian Tower, the wealth of the Wanbao Pavilion owner will surely decrease.

Wealth is also the source of the lord's reputation. If wealth decreases, reputation will definitely decrease.

In this way, the combination of the two can intuitively show whether someone is selling off Wandao points.

Now, whether it is the price tag or the reputation list, the value of Wandao points and the reputation value of the Wanbao Pavilion Master are jumping down at an alarming speed and a huge magnitude.

What does this mean?

It means that someone is selling a large number of Wandao points, causing the wealth of the Wanbao Pavilion Master to decrease significantly, and his reputation is also greatly reduced.

This cannot be faked!

The collapse has begun!

Everyone panicked, and the team, which was already unstable due to the cancellation of the Wandao Conference, became even more chaotic, and there was a tendency to attack the store door.

At this time...

"Don't get excited!"

A group of people walked out of Wanbao Pavilion, and the leader was Zhang Yan, the deputy of Wanbao Pavilion.

Zhang Yan faced the crowd and spoke calmly: "The price reduction of Wandaodian is a normal market change. I hope everyone will not listen to the rumors."

"You said yes?"

"After all this, why are you so stubborn?"

"I don't care, I want to cash out my money now!"

"It sounds so nice. If you can, open a few more windows so that everyone can exchange money at will."

"It has been more than 10,000 years, and we are still doing this. To put it bluntly, we are not afraid of being crowded out."

“If you don’t have that kind of power, how can you create a private currency?”

"Money back, money back, money back!"

Zhang Yan spoke calmly, intending to comfort her, but the panicked crowd paid no attention to her, let alone others who were adding fuel to the fire. The wave of noise was already threatening to drown her.

Zhang Yan shook her head, her expression remained unchanged, and she said in a deep voice: "Since everyone insists on this, then Wanbao Pavilion will respond to everyone's request. Now the price of Wandao Point will change every two hours, and ten new stores will be added on each floor. , there are thousands of windows for you to exchange.”

After that, regardless of how everyone reacted, he led a group of people back to the store.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned in place.

"this……"

"Really open?"

“Aren’t you afraid of a run?”

"Do you have any confidence?"

"Why don't you change it? I saved it for a thousand years, and if I take it out now, I will lose blood!"

"Don't be fooled by her, this is Wanbao Pavilion's bluff!"

"Look, that person's reputation is still falling, and it's still falling sharply. If we don't wait until he goes bankrupt and can't get the Bongtian Coin, he won't be able to change it again."

"That's right, he wants to show off his face now. If he loses his face later, refuses to acknowledge these ten thousand points, and hides in the territorial world, then we will have nothing."

"The elixirs, talismans, weapons and equipment, and hero units in Wanbao Pavilion have all been sold out. Now there are only a few Babel coins and resources left. If I don't exchange them, I won't be able to exchange them for anything."

Seeing Zhang Yan come forward and let Wanbao Pavilion let go of the exchange, the panicked people finally calmed down a little.

But it was only a few points. With the help of caring people, and the huge drop in price tags and reputation lists, the flames of panic soon ignited again, and the ten newly opened stores and thousands of counters were quickly filled.

"Ancestor, look at it!"

"This is a fire pit, you really can't jump anymore!"

"Please!"

Lin Dong strode over, completely ignoring the pleas of everyone in the Lin family. He didn't stop until he saw this panicked crowd.

Seeing him stop, everyone in the Lin family was overjoyed and hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said vigorously: "Old ancestor..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Dong slapped him to the ground with a backhand, and then made eye contact with the scribe beside him, then stepped aside, looking at the crowd of people rushing in, and the falling Ten Thousand Points, a ball of fire ignited in his heart , two very tempting words echoing in my mind.

Buy the dip! Buy the dip!

But when is the bottom?

Wandaodian's plate is too big. Even at this rate of decline, it will take a long time to fall to the freezing point.

After all, it is not just the major forces that hold Ten Thousand Dao Points, but also billions of individual lords.

Tens of thousands of years of operation and tens of thousands of years of development, how can it be ordinary?

Lin Dong took a deep breath and stood aside, watching with cold eyes, but his blood boiled.

So and so...

"The reputation list, Wanbao Pavilion Master's ranking on the reputation list has disappeared!"

"Did you fall?"

"No, even if he goes bankrupt, with the reputation he accumulated from attacking the Demonic Abyss, it is impossible for him to fall down from the top of the sixth level."

"He advanced and reached the seventh level!"

"There is a safe time for the advanced level and it is not ranked on the list, so it is not displayed."

"Think you can deceive us this way?"

"Don't stop, everyone. He has advanced to the seventh level. He will definitely build seventh-level buildings, and upgrade heroes and other units. These are expenses. If it is too late, he will use them up."

"Quick, quick, quick!"

The lord advanced and his reputation disappeared, but it could not stop everyone from panicking.

The selling, the runs, are still going on, the madness continues.

And so on, a few months later.

"Stop it!"

"Finally stopped!"

"At this price, you lose all your money, you lose all your money!"

"The items in Wanbao Pavilion have been sold out, the Wandao Conference has been cancelled, and even the final exchange price has dropped to this price. If this continues, these Wandao Points will really become useless paper!"

"Fortunately, I am a fast runner and I made clean moves a few years ago. Counting the profits I made before, I didn't lose too much."

"It's over, it's over. I've only been surrounded for a few months. Why did these ten thousand points collapse as soon as I came out?"

"I told you this thing is a trap!"

Compared with the crowds and long queues a few months ago, although the Wanbao Pavilion store is now much withered, there are still many people gathering to watch, and many people waiting in line.

Lin Dong was among them. Looking at the slowly advancing team, he had a feeling of being out of time, as if he had returned to thousands of years ago when he was queuing in front of Wanbao Pavilion for the first time.

He knew that he had reached the critical point of fate again.

So...

"Welcome to Wanbao Pavilion, what business do I need to handle?"

Without blocking in a single room, Lin Dong walked quickly in front of the office counter in the lobby and spoke in a deep voice.

"I want to exchange it, exchange it regularly!"

They all spoke in unison, and Lin Dong froze on the spot, looking around, looking at each other in confusion with the people around him.

They looked at each other, then smiled knowingly.

Sure enough, there will never be a shortage of gamblers in this world!

Lin shook his head and looked forward: "Exchange them all, regularly for a thousand years!"

"OK!"

The teller smiled and said again: "Sorry, the adjustment time has come and the price has changed. Do you still want to continue the exchange?"

"..."

Lin Dong was silent for a while, looking at the price board on the side, and suddenly realized that he, as a gambler, seemed to have just started.
