Chapter 69 – Fresh chives
On the twelfth and thirteenth days, Qin Yu collected a total of fourteen Xuantian Tokens!
By now, Qin Yu had obtained eighty-one tokens. After selling twenty, he still had sixty-one left.
On the fourteenth day of the event!
Today was the day agreed upon to set up the stall. Qin Yu took thirty tokens with him.
Wrapping himself completely in black cloth, he brought the transformed Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi to their usual spot.
Before the stall was even set up, a crowd had already gathered.
"I'll buy ten tokens, and I'll give you two thousand Contribution Points right away!"
"Hey, don't you know about first come, first served? I was clearly here first, so I should be the one to buy."

As soon as Qin Yu arrived, the crowd started arguing.
The Xuantian Sect never lacked smart people. Many had already sensed the potential for profit and were pooling funds to make a big gain.
"Everyone, please don't rush. Are the two people who reserved five days ago here?" Qin Yu asked loudly.
"I'm here, I'm here!"
Tall Senior Brother hurriedly pushed to the front.
The other reserver also appeared on time and took their tokens.
Seeing three sets of tokens instantly reduced to just one, those who had painstakingly gathered funds were in a panic.
"Please, brother, sell me a set. I borrowed money at high interest, and if I can't buy the tokens, I'll go bankrupt."
"Brother, don't sell to him. I'm in a worse situation."
"Who was the idiot who spread the saying 'If you love her, give her ten Xuantian Tokens in winter!'? Now my partner keeps asking me for tokens, saying she'll leave me if I can't get them."
"Brother, it's better to break ten temples than to break a marriage!"
Qin Yu: "......"
"Everyone, please don't be anxious!"
Qin Yu spoke to calm the crowd: "Right now, I only have one set left, and there are at least twenty people wanting tokens."
"So, I can't guarantee that everyone will be able to buy a token!"
Hearing this, the already anxious crowd grew even more agitated!
"I was here first, I should be allowed to buy first."
"You're talking nonsense, I was here before dawn, and there was no one here, so I'm the earliest."
"Stop bragging, I was here waiting since last night, who can be earlier than me?"
"If we can't decide, let's have a competition. Only the winner can buy the Xuantian Tokens."
"Fine, let's compete, I'm not afraid of you!"
Seeing the crowd about to fight, Qin Yu quickly shouted.
"Everyone, please stop arguing and listen to me."
The crowd fell silent!
Qin Yu cleared his throat and said in a rough voice, "Before selling the tokens, I want to share some common knowledge with everyone."
"The market is controlled by an invisible hand. When supply exceeds demand, prices drop. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise!"
The crowd was confused.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Yu: "I mean, according to market rules, the Xuantian Tokens should increase in price!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
"Two thousand Contribution Points and still increasing?"
"You guys are too greedy."
"Fine, raise the price, I just won't buy it!"
Everyone was very resistant to the price increase.
"Please, everyone, don't rush!" Qin Yu said slowly, "Although the cold rules dictate a price increase, our organization's leader is a very kind, very handsome, and very understanding person. He truly understands everyone's feelings."
"So, our leader specifically instructed me that we are not just fellow disciples, but also family."
"And since we are family, we shouldn't be too harsh."
"Therefore, today, our leader is offering a benefit for the family!"
"The last set of Xuantian Tokens, originally priced at two thousand, will not only not increase in price but will actually decrease!"
"Drop by 100? Not enough!"
"Drop by 500? Not enough!"
"Drop by 1000? Still not enough!"
"Now, not 1999, not 1888, just 888, and you can take ten tokens home!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ten Xuantian Tokens could be exchanged for 1000 Contribution Points, and now they were only selling for 888?
Was the mysterious organization's leader out of his mind, or had he suddenly grown a conscience, selling at a loss?
The scene erupted.
Even those who just came to watch the excitement rushed over.
Buying ten Xuantian Tokens for 888 Contribution Points was almost like getting them for free.
And you could also get a spiritual artifact.
If you managed to get ten Xuantian Tokens, wouldn't you instantly turn your life around?
Many people silently resolved in their hearts that they would get those ten Xuantian Tokens, even if it cost them their lives.
"Everyone, stop arguing!" Qin Yu shouted, "Although this benefit is amazing, unfortunately, we only have one set of tokens left."
"Giving this set to anyone here would surely cause dissatisfaction among others."
"So, I racked my brains all night and finally came up with an absolutely fair and just solution that will convince everyone."
"Bring out the props!"
Qin Yu shouted.
Li Zhengtong hurriedly brought out a particularly large box.
Qin Yu patted the box and said, "This box contains many small balls, divided into white and yellow colors. Drawing a yellow ball grants you the right to purchase."
"Everyone has one free chance to draw a ball. After using it, drawing again will cost 10 Contribution Points!"
"Introducing five new participants to the event grants you an additional free draw."
"During the draw, using mental power to probe is prohibited. Anyone caught will be disqualified!"
"Now, those who want to participate, please line up and register!"
The crowd eagerly formed a long line.
Seeing the 'chives' so enthusiastic, Qin Yu smiled with satisfaction.
'Selling directly only earns a little, but to make big money, you have to hold a lottery!'
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi were dumbfounded by Qin Yu's operation.
They had seen Qin Yu pour a full hundred thousand white balls into the box!
Those lining up today were in for a tough time!
