"Are you really buying a living small animal for four gold coins?" a Ghost King asked.
"Fair to all, buying as many as there are. If you don't believe me, just bring the animals," Mu Rufeng said lightly.
Several Ghost Kings exchanged glances and immediately left the place.
Mu Rufeng thought about it and realized something was missing, and then said again, "I am Mu Rufeng, ranked first, exchanging four gold coins for one living small animal, no limit on quantity, cash on delivery, location: city gate!"
Mu Rufeng called out five times in a row.
If not many believed him before, being ranked first definitely had an effect.
In less than a minute, three Ghost Kings came over with more than twenty small animals.
"Are you the one buying? I have 25 here," one of the Ghost Kings said.
"25, four for each, that makes a hundred," Mu Rufeng said and, with a wave of his hand, a hundred gold coins materialized and hovered in front of them.
Mu Rufeng wasn't worried they would not complete the transaction, for here, even verbal agreements were bound by rules.
Failure to complete a transaction would result in expulsion from Golden City.
To lose the chance to earn Soul Power and subsequent benefits for such a trivial matter was not something anyone would be foolish enough to do.
"Really buying for four gold coins each? Here you go."
The Ghost King immediately shared the gold coins with his companions, then controlled the small animals to fly toward Mu Rufeng.
"You're really silly, I'm telling you, aren't you making a loss here? Four gold coins for one small animal, you'll lose out big time," another Ghost King said.
Mu Rufeng was indifferent, and with a light punch, he killed all the small animals.
A crisp sound of collision arose.
A large number of gold coins fell out.
One small animal exploded into ten coins, so the twenty-five small animals amounted to two hundred fifty gold coins, a clear profit of one hundred fifty coins.
Mu Rufeng gestured towards the gold coins, which quickly flew toward him and entered his body.
"Gentlemen, now tell me, do you think I am losing or earning?" Mu Rufeng said with a light smile.
"You... how... how can so many gold coins drop?" the previously mocking Ghost King's face changed slightly.
The other two Ghost Kings also showed shocked expressions.
They were well aware of the ratio of gold coins dropped by small animals.
Almost all small animals drop one gold coin, to drop two you might have to kill a hundred and still not see such a thing.
And now, with a single strike from Mu Rufeng, he had straight exploded 250 coins, all max drops.
"So, what are you waiting for? I only sourced them from you to avoid the hassle."
"With the speed and amount of gold coins I can collect, I've already secured the first place. If you guys hurry, making the top ten should also be possible," Mu Rufeng said with a light smile.
Hearing this, the three Ghost Kings were startled and without another word, they vanished on the spot.
Shortly after, several more waves of Ghost Kings tentatively arrived with small animals.
Mu Rufeng was not dismissive and bought all of them at the price of four gold coins each.
After completing the purchases, Mu Rufeng killed the small animals in front of them, making clear to them the number of gold coins he was getting.
Such tactics shocked those Ghost Kings once again.
Mu Rufeng repeated his claim about securing the first place, and those Ghost Kings quickly went to catch more animals as if invigorated by adrenaline.
However, since some did not believe and were crazy chasing and killing the small animals, their number of gold coins also rose quickly.
But soon, these Ghost Kings, seeing Mu Rufeng's drastically climbing number of gold coins, and hearing him repeatedly utter that phrase,
They also saw many Ghost Kings not killing the small animals, but instead collaborating to trap and capture them, then heading back to the city gate.
Some Ghost Kings directly asked questions, but those Ghost Kings completely ignored them, fearing others might steal their business.
Thus, they themselves caught some small animals and then ran to the city gate to check.
If it was false, it would just waste a few minutes, completely manageable.
And when they reached the city gate, they were dumbfounded.
As time passed, more and more Ghost Kings came capturing small animals, wave after wave.
Luckily, transactions were quick, not taking much time.
Thus, a large number of Ghost Kings were effectively working for Mu Rufeng.
And Mu Rufeng's number of gold coins increased at a terrifying rate.
What could have been a fierce competition due to Mu Rufeng's arrival, turned into a haven for workers.
Selling to Mu Rufeng was definitely faster than killing small animals to collect gold coins themselves.
Fifty minutes swiftly passed.
With only the last ten minutes left until the opening of the Golden City gates.
Mu Rufeng was still buying small animals.
Sounds of gold coins colliding continuously reached his ears, all Mu Rufeng's gold coins.
Trading gold coins, killing animals, dropping gold coins, collecting gold coins, the process repeated such that Mu Rufeng felt somewhat numb.
However, those Ghost Kings were not numb, each looking at Mu Rufeng with envy, for Mu Rufeng had indeed secured the first place.
The expressions of these Ghost Kings varied, some anxious, some crazed, some happy, some envious, some expressionless, some resentful.
