I'm a villain, not a devil

The City Lord's Mansion responded faster 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 reduced the points that could be exchanged for scorpion tails.

Originally, a scorpion tail could be exchanged for 200 points, and a scorpion with a higher degree of evolution could be exchanged for 300 points. The materials produced by the remaining scorpions with higher strength increased in turn.

However, the City Lord's Mansion directly ordered that from today, the price of all scorpion tails would drop by 30%.

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

People's opposition was suppressed by another decree: "As long as enough points are exchanged at the exchange point at one time, only 20,000 points are required to obtain the qualification to enter the city."

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

The interview qualification for entering the city is 30,000 points, and 20,000 points is equivalent to a direct discount of 64%.

At this moment, the people 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 exchange point, they can only exchange 210 points with the most scorpion tails in their hands, but they can exchange them for 600 points with the Rainbow Nest Clan. However, if they accumulate enough items to exchange points, the points in their hands will have stronger purchasing power.

Aren't they here to get points in the end just to enter the city?

While people were hesitating, new news came.

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

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

The interview failed...

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

In the past, although it was an interview qualification, as long as the points came from a legitimate source and there was no vicious incident outside the city, the so-called interview was equivalent to checking the household registration, and few people would be stuck at this step.

But now, the interview is a real interview... This is conveying another meaning: standing in line.

As expected, next, there was a candidate who took out many items at once and went to the exchange point to redeem 21,000 points. His entry interview went very smoothly. In less than half an hour, he began to wave his hands excitedly at his companions on the city wall.

"I made it! I made it!"

Under the strong contrast, the candidates were suddenly divided.

Some thought that the City Lord's Mansion of Paradise City had gone back on its word, and the Rainbow Nest Clan was helping everyone, so even if they stayed outside the city for a little longer, they had to stand next to the Rainbow Nest Clan.

While the other part felt that everyone was going to enter the city, there was no need to make themselves unhappy.

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

And among these voices, there were also some smarter guys.

"Hey, brother, do you have a scorpion tail in your hand?" Someone sneaked up on Sean.

Sean looked at him and just nodded slightly.

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

Sean raised his eyebrows: "The Rainbow Nest Clan charges six hundred, I won't sell it there, I'll sell it to you?"

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

"What about you?" Sean said.

The man's eyes rolled around: "I plan to save it, and I will sell it after this matter is over. Hey, don't say that the price I gave is low, the scorpion tail will definitely drop in value after a while, and I am taking a risk."

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

"Okay, come to me when you think it over, 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 happen at any time. As for what the other party said about waiting for the storm to pass, that was pure nonsense. He collected scorpion tails from those hesitant people, and then sold them to the Rainbow Nest Clan. He bought and sold them again. With continuous reselling, the price difference would come out, and he could naturally accumulate a lot of scorpion tails.

When the number is sufficient, he can go to the exchange point to exchange for interview qualifications in one go, and he doesn't have to worry about being blocked by the City Lord's Mansion.

It is quite smart to suck the blood of the 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 on, the atmosphere in 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 happy.

The source is nothing more than standing in line, reselling and other incidents.

And Sean's brows were frowned more and more. He would not take this kind of scene to heart. 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 was pretending to obey but secretly disobeying...

He didn't get any feedback on the news about the crazy beasts and mutants evolving too fast.

"It's so annoying. I am now the emperor behind the scenes of the empire. I have achieved success and fame and started to write a glorious history..." Sean, whose temper has improved a lot under the care of Ran Xinzhu recently, suddenly became unhappy.

And his unhappiness means that someone needs to disappear.

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

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

"Brother, shall I go call someone?" Following Sean was one of his former guards, who is now also the core management of Jin Gui.

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 respond. After all, we have 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 person on the butt and cursed: "You said I am unreasonable?"

"No, no."

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

It's really new. I have been following the eldest brother for so many years. When will my eldest brother be able to get involved in "reasoning"...

Walking to the city gate, Sean looked around and then waved his hand. The guard immediately understood and moved the tables and chairs to set up a simple stall.

"Exchange point: 600 points per scorpion tail. 50 can be exchanged for interview qualifications at one time, and a gift is given - the interview is guaranteed to pass."
