"What are you doing?" Mr. Fang was playing 'Fight the Landlord' when he received a message on QQ.

Nalan Mingxue? What does she want? Fang Qi replied her with a question mark.

[I plan to buy some books from The Morning Star Sea Realm. Please do the deal for me.] Her reply came soon.

Buy books? Buy some books? Mr. Fang was puzzled. [You're a warrior, and there are only a few skills for your profession. How many do you want to buy?]

Nalan Mingxue replied, [Not only for me. I also need skill books for wizards and Taoists, and I'll buy from you if you have them. 2,000 crystals for Magic Shield Spell; 700 crystals for Holy Armor Spell; 10,000 crystals for Enchanting Light…]

She finished the long list of prices and followed up with a picture of a Husky's dumb expression.

"Guild President! Look! Someone is offering to buy the Magic Shield Spell for 2,000 crystals, Holy Shield Spell for 700 crystals, and other skills books for hundreds of crystals each. Let's sell the skill books! The buyer is someone named 'New Snow', and she has been flooding the World Channel with the price list!" Sitting next to Fang Qi, Ruan Ning almost jumped up at the offers. Her warehouse was full of skill books that the guild had collected.

"Don't sell!" Mr. Fang sent Nalan Mingxue the picture of the Akita Inu's disdainful face before saving the picture of her Husky's dumb face that she sent. "She's so audacious that she tried to get my skill books!"

"Why not?" Ruan Ning said in disapproval, "The prices that she is offering are ten times higher than before, and they can't get any higher! If we don't sell them now, we won't find a better buyer!"

"Don't be dumb."

With a sneer, Mr. Fang sent Nalan Mingxue a message, [What? You want to be a yellow cow?]

[TL Note: Yellow cow means scalper in Chinese.]

Ruan Ning leaned over and looked at his screen. "Hey! This is New Snow. You won't let me sell the skill books, but you're selling them?"

"She's my friend, and that is why I'm talking to her. Don't be dumb." Mr. Fang felt helpless. "I'm warning you now. Don't have dealings with this girl. She is smart enough to sell you, and make you count the money for her."

"You'll be sold by her, and you will count the money for her." Ruan Ning was instantly furious. "The prices are so high! Why can't I sell them?!"

Nalan Mingxue replied after a long pause, [What's a yellow cow?]

[It is a scheming merchant who buys things out and sells them for much higher prices to gain unreasonable profits!] Fang Qi sent her an unamused face emoji. [The war has just ended, and the skill books' prices increased tenfold overnight. There must be someone behind all this.]

[Did you start it?] Fang Qi asked tentatively.

[(Husky's snickering face) It wasn't really me.] Nalan Mingxue put the words into QQ with a faint smile on her face. [Before the war, I saw that the Royal Family was buying skill books in preparation for the war, and I followed suit. At this moment, there aren't many skill books on the market even at higher prices. In a couple of days, I guess I need to buy the Magic Shield Spell Skill Book for as high as 3,000 to 4,000. I won't buy them if the prices go any higher."

"You… You guys…" While reading the conversation, Ruan Ning immediately sensed the stink of speculation.

"Of course, players wouldn't hold many skills books right now, and they are hard to get. The players who had the intention of selling skill books would have sold them long ago. The players who still have skill books with them are waiting to see if the prices will go higher," Fang Qi said contemptuously, "You've become a big scalper overnight. Tell me how many books have you collected?"

[It's a secret.
