Su Xing naturally knew that Jin Congxue was joking, so he half-jokingly replied:

“Sure, being able to nourish a great beauty like you! I would love nothing more!”

Upon hearing this, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes coquettishly and said:

“Yeah right, you little pervert!”

“By the way, the reason these fifty elixirs were able to auction for two million apiece is because they just came out, and several wealthy sisters of mine couldn’t wait to buy them, which is why the price was so high..

“However, the price of these elixirs will definitely drop… I estimate they will eventually stabilize around 100 to 150 million apiece.”

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded; it was about what he had expected, so he said:

“No problem, even at 1 million apiece, I’ve already made quite a lot; you just help me exchange the money for the white equipment!”

If he averaged 1 million per pill, Su Xing could produce around 100 lower-tier Nourishing Face Pills a week, which equated to an income of 100 million Great Xia Coins per week.

Exchanged into energy, it would roughly equate to six hundred thousand energy points, an undoubtedly significant number.

At the very least, Su Xing wouldn’t have to worry about an energy deficit any time soon.

After hearing Su Xing’s words, Jin Congxue rolled her eyes and said:

“Big brother! You really think that the Jin Merchant Guild’s money comes from the wind?”

“Selling you a piece of white equipment for 900 Great Xia Coins is already at cost. Considering our labor, we’re going to be at a loss!”

“And you want to purchase white equipment worth 100 million Great Xia Coins all at once, that’s more than a hundred thousand pieces! That’s nearly a tenth of the Jin Merchant Guild’s entire merchandise flow!”

Su Xing immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, the Jin Merchant Guild needed to make money too; they used to earn a few hundred from selling a piece of white equipment.

Now they were effectively not earning anything, simply working for Su Xing free of charge, and as Su Xings strength improved, his demands for white equipment would only increase.

In time, the white equipment that the Jin Merchant Guild purchased weekly might not even suffice for his energy consumption.

An apologetic look appeared on Su Xing’s face as he tentatively asked: “So what do you think I should do? This white equipment is very important to me!”

After pondering for a moment, Jin Congxue replied:

“Although I don’t know why you must acquire white-quality equipment, it must be your secret, and I won’t pry.”

“However, I can tell you an internal figure from the Jin Merchant Guild; among the population of 10 billion in the Great Xia Country, there are only about 5 billion combat profession practitioners, and bronze-level practitioners number only about 4 billion.”

“High-level practitioners generally do not use white-quality equipment, which means that the annual circulation of white-quality equipment in the Great Xia Country is about 500 million.”

“At your current rate of acquisition, purchasing a hundred thousand white-quality equipment a week, that would require over five million pieces a year! That almost accounts for one percent of the entire market share!”

“And according to the laws of Great Xia, you might even be charged with the crime of monopoly!”

Su Xing frowned slightly when he heard Jin Congxue’s words. He hadn’t thought this far, but his mass acquisition of white-quality equipment, with only inflows and no outflows, would inevitably attract official notice, and that was no small issue.

Furthermore, as his strength increased, he might need not just five million pieces of white equipment a year, but perhaps even fifty million!

So Su Xing asked with furrowed brows:

“White-quality equipment is indeed very useful to me… Is there any way to avoid these issues?”

After thinking for a while, Jin Congxue said:

“There are ways, more than one actually!”

“First of all, improving the quality of the equipment is one approach. It’s not just white-quality equipment—if you also need green-quality equipment, maybe it wouldn’t attract so much attention.”

“Secondly, you could establish your own commercial guild, specializing in buying up low-tier equipment, or even hiring some people to grind dungeons for loot… This way, not only can you save a considerable amount of cost, but it would also definitely not attract attention.”

Upon hearing Jin Congxue’s suggestion, Su Xing’s eyes lit up.

He had tried devouring green-quality equipment before, and one piece could yield about 50 energy points. However, the price of one green piece was at least 20,000 Great Xia Coins, making the cost-performance ratio too low, which was double the price of white-quality equipment.

However, the second proposal from Jin Congxue was quite intriguing, as setting up his own commercial guild would indeed save Su Xing a lot of trouble.

So, Su Xing blinked and said,

“So, beautiful Miss Jin Congxue… could I hire you to manage my commercial guild?”

Jin Congxue’s eyes widened upon hearing Su Xing’s words, and she asked,

“You want me to help you run the guild? Please… I’m with the Jin Merchant

Guild! Strictly speaking, if you establish a commercial guild, you’d be our competitor!”

Su Xing, sensing that Jin Congxue hadn’t outright refused, felt that there were prospects for this and thus took out some high-quality Nourishing Face Pills he had crafted earlier and handed them over, saying,

“Ahem, of course not for nothing! These Nourishing Face Pills, they’re more than enough! And in the future, I’ll prioritize giving you any other elixirs I craft!”

Jin Congxue accepted the elixirs and said in a low voice,

“You really are generous, boss! One of these top-grade Rich Woman’s Delight Pills is worth at least five million… With a wave of your hand, you’re giving away tens of millions in wages!”

Jin Congxue thought for a moment and then said,

“However, registering a commercial guild does require quite a few things. Not only sufficient funds are needed, but also certain connections…”

Su Xing blinked and said,

“You are the heiress of the Jin Merchant Guild, aren’t you? Do you still lack connections?”

Jin Congxue rolled her eyes in response,

“So, you are just treating me like hired help? I do indeed have quite a few resources on my hands, enough to get a commercial guild up and running initially… But still!”

“Setting up a guild does require a lot of money; the initial investment has to be at least a billion. And I’d need to contact a group of grinders who specialize in dungeons… But in this respect, you have a natural advantage, since you’re a college student, right? You can reach out to the freshmen at Kyoto Polytechnic; they need to run dungeons to level up, so having them grind equipment for you couldn’t be more perfect!”

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded; this was also his plan. As for the funding issue…

Su Xing thought for a moment and then said,

“I’ll give you two hundred Nourishing Face Pills every week… You sell them, and half the money goes to starting the new commercial guild, and half to buying white-quality equipment for me… Once the guild is established, all the money from the weekly Nourishing Face Pills can be invested back into the guild, and all I want in return is the guild’s white-quality equipment. How does that sound?”

After listening, Jin Congxue carefully considered it and then said,

“If that’s the case, it indeed seems feasible! Two hundred Nourishing Face Pills a week… that’s equivalent to an injection of two to three billion in funding!”

“With that, I’m confident I can help you set up the embryonic form of a commercial guild within a week! Moreover, I have some connections at Jiangnan Academy; I can get students there to run dungeons and grind equipment for you!”

After pausing, Jin Congxue added, “However, we still have an important issue to resolve right now!”

Su Xing asked with some confusion, “What issue?”

Jin Congxue smiled and said,

“My boss… You haven’t come up with a good name for the commercial guild yet!”

Su Xing was momentarily stumped, then he also smiled and said,

“Then let’s call it, the Tarot Society….
