Chapter 10240

The other party was speechless.

Besides, at least in terms of the current results, Lin Yi's position did not improve their living conditions, but to some extent, it became worse and worse.

While several people were talking, there was a sudden commotion in front of the team.

A middle-aged man who looked like a steward, with a big belly and his nostrils facing the sky, said, "because my Chen family's inventory is limited, from now on, the price of life spar will be doubled on the existing basis, and the quantity is limited. If you want to buy it quickly!"

There was an uproar.

The price here was originally twice as expensive as the original, equivalent to three times the original. Now it is doubled on this basis, which is a full six times the original!

Hearing this, the old man fainted on the spot.

For ordinary people like him, the original price is already the limit that his family can afford. This time, it soared to six times, and his family's foundation can't come out at all!

But the problem is that life spar is not a consumer product, but a necessity for survival.

Once he can't afford to buy life crystal, the tragedy of the nine members of the family is a lesson for his family!

Lin Yi quickly held him up and input a soft Qi to recuperate him.

The middle-aged steward looked at the old man and said, "if you can't afford it, don't buy it. Hurry home and wait for death, lest you dirty the place here, poor man."

"How can you talk like that?"

Everyone around couldn't bear it at once.

Six times the price is not only unaffordable for the old family, but also for many of them. Even if they barely make it through this time, how can they survive in the future?

In the face of public anger, the middle-aged steward was confident and fearless: "this is our Chen family's private industry. You can raise the price as you like. If you poor people are not convinced, you can't buy it. No one is forcing you!

I put my dirty words here. In the future, the inventory of life spar will only be less and less, so the price will continue to rise.

Today's price seems to be high, but compared with the future, it is still the cheapest price. What you don't own is that smart people take it and buy it or not. "

The words directly choked everyone out of temper.

At least on the surface, it really makes them don't know how to refute. After all, buying and selling is a matter of willing to fight and willing to suffer. As long as it's not forced to buy and sell, it's really unreasonable according to their thinking.

Lin Yi shook his head at this scene.

In the final analysis, it is because the sea area has been in chaos for a long time, and everyone's level of knowledge is limited. Anyone who comes to the secular world can immediately see through the loopholes in each other's words.

Market trading does pay attention to your feelings and wishes, but when it comes to survival necessities, it is not the scope of free trading.

Especially in the current situation of obvious regional monopoly, the buyer has no bargaining power at all. In the eyes of the seller, it is completely a lamb to be slaughtered, and it will be drained of the last drop of oil and water.

In this case, it is difficult to rely on the buyer group alone, and only rely on the intervention of a third-party powerful organization!

Seeing the crowd's manner of being too angry to speak, the middle-aged steward laughed indifferently and said, "of course, you can not buy it in my Chen family. No, there is an official shop there. The price is cheap. You can buy it there.

Hehe, can you poor people buy it? "

Everyone became speechless.

At this time, the old man woke up quietly. Before he could speak, a middle-aged woman hurried to him in the distance: "the old man, your little girl is dying. The doctor in the village said that it was too long to replenish the life spar. The child is too small and thin. He is about to stand it. At most, he can last another day!"

"Little girl..."

Hearing this, the old man almost breathed out again, trembling and struggling to the middle-aged Steward: "please, steward, sell some life spars to my little granddaughter for help, old man, I beg you!"

Say that and kneel down for the other party.

The middle-aged steward raised his mouth: "don't be so polite. My family sells this. How can customers refuse to come to the door? Since you are in a hurry to buy it, how can my Chen family die?"

Everyone looked at each other, which was a human word.

However, before they made a change, the middle-aged steward said, "but the rules can't be bad. So many people are in line. You can't jump the queue just because your family is in a hurry, can you?

If you want to do special things, you have to pay extra!

It's not easy to see you in your old age. Well, double the price I just said, which is the price of conscience. "

“……”

The whole audience was in an uproar, and the eyes looking at the old man could not help but be full of sympathy. It was really bad luck for eight lives to meet such a unscrupulous business.

The old man gnashed his teeth, but when he thought of his poor little granddaughter, even if he turned out his coffin, he could only harden his head to buy a rescue!

But before he spoke, Lin Yi stood up with him: "uncle, don't worry, isn't that official shop open? I'll take you there to buy it."

"Where to buy it?"

The middle-aged steward in the opposite side couldn't help sneering at his words: "where are you from, lengtouqing? I really think everyone can enter the gate of the official shop, ha ha, I don't know the heaven and earth are thick!"!

Old man, I'll make it clear to you that doubling is the current price. If you cross this village, you won't have this store. If you speak again at that time, you'll double it. Think about it for yourself. "

The old man hurriedly said, "buy, buy! I'll buy it now!"

After saying that, regardless of Lin Yi's dissuasion, he stumbled and followed the other party. Before leaving, he said to Lin Yi, "young man, old man, I know you are for my good. I thank you, but my little granddaughter can't afford to gamble..."

A sigh.

The bystanders feel the same. It is the elderly who are "specially taken care of" today, and it may be them tomorrow.

In a vulnerable position destined to be sucked out of bone and marrow, one of them can't escape being squeezed out. The difference is nothing more than day in and day out.

Lin Yi looked at the old man who had gone away, but he didn't stop him.

In the position of an old man, there is no choice. After all, it is the life of his little granddaughter. It is impossible to place hope on himself, an unknown stranger, right?

But today's trip really came.

Lin Yi turned and left the team.

Soon, the old man walked out of the shop holding a fist sized life spar, and the middle-aged steward disdained to curl his lips.

"All the possessions are enough to buy a piece of the worst life crystal, not enough for a person to suck for seven days. An old poor man deserves their family to die of poverty!"

After scolding, he turned around and asked the entourage next to him, "what about the boy who didn't grow eyes just now? Such a lengtouqing provokes everywhere. Sooner or later, it will be a disaster. Find someone to lock him up. If you can't squeeze out oil and water, you can do it directly for him."
