Chapter 116: Bubble Burst

  Remove Selena's clothes and armor, of course Mo Yan doesn't want to do anything now, Mo Yan is just being cautious. An evil witch like him isn't as "pure" as himself, if he left some kind of curse or surveillance spell on Selena, then Mo Yan would be exposing himself to someone else's surveillance.

  So the equipment and clothes Serina is currently wearing will not be able to stay with her. Moreover, Serina's body will also be carefully 'examined' by Lirin to see if there are any strange magic on her. And after Serina stripped herself without hesitation, a unexpectedly thin body appeared in front of Mo Yan.

  Cerena's body didn't have the muscles Mo Yan had imagined, and even her skeleton wasn't big. Mo Yan found it hard to imagine how such a physique could support that heavy armor. Cerena, who was 1.9 meters tall in armor, was only 1.7 meters after taking off the armor, which conformed to the average height of people from Central Plains but looked very short in front of Mo Yan, who was 2.5 meters tall.

  Her slender body had pale skin, and the fat on her chest was not much, barely escaping the category of flat-chested. Mo Yan touched Selena's arm, and her body was as cold as her head, with no temperature at all. If it weren't for scholars who specifically studied and classified her as a demon, this cold body and that cold voice would easily make people think that the Headless Knight was a kind of undead creature.

  Demons and undead are mostly produced in the wild, but they have distinct differences. Demons cannot be completely eliminated no matter how thoroughly they are cleared, while undead can be avoided by paying attention to certain matters when burying corpses. Moreover, even if it is a haunted house or a revived zombie-like undead, as long as the source of its production is destroyed, it will not appear again.

  After handing over a set of Divine Warrior equipment to Selena, Mo Yan handed it over to Lirisse to check if any magic had been added. The so-called Projection Stone of the witch was also handed over to Rize, to see if there were any other functions. In contact with the power of a demon, Mo Yan was still very happy overall.

  After all, the number of humans in the city is increasing day by day, but the power of the demons has not made much progress. The Thunder Cliff, which lacks a demon commander, can only rely on human power to support itself, and this is not a long-term plan. As a demon-born, Mo Yan did not get the loyalty of people like Lei Fu La.

  To truly solidify his rule, using loyal demons was the best choice. Now that he had a connection to a demon's power, although it wasn't of much use for the time being, it gave Mo Yan another option. In the future, if people like Lei Fu La wanted to leave or had issues with their loyalty.

  Then, he could communicate with Unas and bring over a few high-ranking demons to manage the army. As a demon, it was almost instinctual for them to obey a stronger demon, so as long as Mo Yan could display his strength, he would be relatively at ease regarding their loyalty. At least for now, the demons didn't have any small movements, unlike those people from Carthage.

  After dealing with Selena's affairs, Mo Yan continued to review various documents. Although the Headless Knight was a different experience, it would have to wait until nightfall to be discussed. During the day, Mo Yan still had many things to attend to, and recently, the Elan merchants had been maliciously speculating on the Thunder Cliff gold coins, causing an abnormal price surge.

  Even though the banks in Thunder Bluff have repeatedly emphasized that Thunder Bluff gold coins can only be exchanged with Stranglethorn gold coins at a 1:1 ratio, on the black market, the exchange rate has now risen to 1:5. This was not noticed for some time due to Mo Yan's negligence.

  Raiden Cliff exchanged nearly 100,000 Raiden Cliff gold coins, while the Sault Gold Coin in the Raiden Cliff treasury had only 72,000. Three thousand of them have been melted into Raiden Cliff gold coins. If someone were to dump a large number of Raiden Cliff gold coins at this time, knocking down the already precarious bubble, then Raiden Cliff would usher in the largest wave of gold exchange.

  There is no gold for the Thunder Bluff to exchange, and there is not enough gold for the Salteans to exchange. At that time, the Thunder Bluff Bank will lose all its credit and can no longer have a foothold in Azeroth, and the Thunder Bluff gold coins will also fall into a state of being unrecognized by anyone.

  For such a situation, Mo Yan's strategy is to buy in large quantities of various materials. In Mo Yan's view, the value of money lies not only in its own gold content but also in its ability to purchase other things. If a currency can only be used as currency and cannot buy daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt, then its value is negligible.

  The Saulteaux have now used up a great deal of money in hoarding the gold coins at Thunder Hill, with the intention of profiting from them. As a result, their purchasing power for ordinary goods has also decreased. A large number of goods that need to be sold are stuck in a state of oversupply and cannot help but lower prices, which is what the SS troops have gathered intelligence on.

  So, while restricting the exchange of Thundercliff gold coins, use the previously exchanged Salted gold coins to purchase these low-priced unsold goods. In this way, when the Thundercliff gold coin bubble bursts, not only can we cope with those merchants who come to exchange, but also sell the purchased low-priced goods at the current market price to them, earning a considerable amount of money.

  It can also recover the Thunder Bluff gold coins that were issued in excess due to negligence, ensuring the value of the Thunder Bluff gold coins. Although this approach did not cause losses for the Flanders Chamber of Commerce and may even allow him to earn more, Flanders will also be pushed to the opposite side of the vast commercial people of Azeroth.

  As the initiators of this Thundercliff gold rush, their huge profits did not come from Thundercliff itself, but from those last Salteans who were left holding the bag. Because when the economic storm finally arrives, there will be a large number of merchants going bankrupt, they will not resent Thundercliff who has been working hard to calm down this wave, but only direct their venom at Flanders.

  At the end of the second month of the rainy season, the exchange rate between Lightning Cliff gold coins and Salted gold coins had reached a ratio of 1:7. Everyone felt an unprecedented sense of pressure, and some clever small merchants began to sell off their gold coins, taking advantage of the high price to make a big profit, causing the gold price to fall slightly.

  However, Flanders immediately bought back all the gold coins that had been sold, causing the exchange rate to rise again. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought there was still room for profit, some mysterious people began to sell off large quantities of Thunder Bluff gold coins, selling 30,000 in just four days.

  A large sum of Lightning Ridge gold coins was barely acquired, and the various merchant guilds that had no reserve of Saltean gold coins did not have the strength to acquire these. The exchange rate of gold coins fell back to 1:4. Just when everyone thought Reforlan would buy back these gold coins again, Flender fell silent.

  And two days later, there was a burst of news that those mysterious businessmen were actually people hired by Frand, and what they were selling was the Thunder Cliff gold coins hoarded by Frand. At this time, everyone understood that they had been fooled! The market was full of people dumping Thunder Cliff gold coins, but no one was stupid enough to buy them.

  Desperate businessmen could only go to the bank in Thunder Bluff to exchange, but were told that they could only exchange at a 1:1 ratio. The black market price was not recognized by the bank. It was only then that everyone remembered that the bank in Thunder Bluff had always emphasized that the exchange rate for Thunder Bluff gold coins could only be 1:1.

  Merchants who had no other choice but to accept the price were not given gold coins. The bank of Thunder Bluff refused to exchange Salties for gold coins, claiming that all their gold was used to buy materials, and instead handed out a long list.

  The above is full of all kinds of materials and goods, and the quantities are astonishing. Merchants can choose to use the Thundercliff gold coins in their hands as Sart gold coins at the current market price to purchase the materials sold by Thundercliff. These materials were bought by Thundercliff at a low price, and now these things have rebounded to normal levels due to Thundercliff's procurement.

  It wasn't until then that the merchants of Erland truly understood that this Thunderclap Gold Coin hype was a war. It was a battle between the Flanders Chamber of Commerce and Thunderclap, but in the end, it was these people who got hurt, while both sides of the war were making a fortune!

  Helpless businessmen can only use the Thunderstone gold coins in their hands to buy these not-so-cheap supplies and then think about what to do next. Many small business associations that are not financially strong have no choice but to declare bankruptcy and disband, and the members of the association become impoverished overnight and can only wander on the streets.

  At this time, they received an invitation from Thunder Bluff.
