Once the goal was set, Ye Tianxuan would immediately carry it out. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, everyone take a box of gold coins and go out to spend them. Buy everything you can and exchange it all for supplies. Don't leave them anything."
Everyone was excited when the order was given; they had never fought such a rewarding battle before!
In the past, it was difficult to even collect enough Life Coins to exchange for lifespans, let alone free up some to buy other things.
Now I can get a huge chest of gold coins to squander, something I never dared to dream of before! It's so good to be blessed by the gods!
Everyone happily took their bags inside to collect the gold coins, and then set off towards various neighborhoods.
Ye Tianxuan wasn't idle either. He had someone drag a bag of gold coins to the street where he had first inquired about the information. He shook out all the gold coins, set up a chair, picked up a megaphone, and sat there leisurely shouting, "Life-extending gold coins, you can buy one pound of any item. You won't lose out, you won't be cheated. Don't miss it if you pass by."
The people on this commercial street had never seen such a grand spectacle. They could see the life-saving gold coins they handled every day piled up on the roadside, like some kind of cheap commodity that could be exchanged for anything.
Seeing how easily Ye Shen could sit there and exchange supplies, others began to follow suit, piling their Life Coins to the other side and shouting through a megaphone: "Life Coins, exchange for two pounds of any item! First come, first served! Limited quantity!"
No sooner had the shout been finished than a new voice came from the stall next door, "Life Coins! Buy one pound of any item, get two pounds free! Limited time offer! They'll be gone if you're late!!"
The merchants who peeked out to see the spectacle were dumbfounded as they looked at the street covered with glittering gold coins.
Are these people insane? Do they have a death wish? They actually dare to exchange life-saving coins so casually?!
At first, no one dared to get involved and just watched. But how could business people be patient and remain indifferent to such a huge profit right in front of them? Moreover, that was the most precious thing in Changsheng City: lifespan!
After a moment of silence, someone finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Can you exchange anything for it?"
Just as Ye Tianxuan was getting bored and dozing off, he looked up at the waiter in front of him and smiled, "Oh, we're acquaintances. Want to redeem something?"
"Is this... real?" The other person was still hesitant, it was really the first time they had seen so many life-sustaining coins laid out on the roadside, and for a moment they even doubted that they were hallucinating.
Ye Tianxuan casually grabbed a handful and stuffed them into the other person's arms, "Of course it's real, here's some for you."
The waiter was dumbfounded when he was suddenly stuffed with a handful of life-extending coins. He hurriedly carried the coins back into the shop. A moment later, the shop owner, having verified the authenticity of the coins, ran out, pointed at his shop, and exclaimed, "I'll exchange them! I'll exchange them all! What are they worth in my shop? I'll exchange them all!"
Ye Tianxuan slowly raised his eyes to look at the jewelry store. "Luxury goods aren't worth much, after all, they're not necessities."
The shopkeeper's face paled. "Then...then I'll give you a 50% discount?"
Even if they offer a 50% discount, they'll still make a profit. They wouldn't be worth as much as Ye Tianxuan has piled up here if they sold the entire store.
"Alright then." Ye Tianxuan waved his hand with a smile. "Take it yourself."
The jewelry store owner immediately beamed with joy. He didn't care about the jewelry at that moment; he immediately looked for a large box to pack the gold coins. If these were exchanged for lifespans, they wouldn't have to worry about the future! They wouldn't have to worry about when they would die, nor about not being able to exchange them for anything!
Once the first company stepped forward, a second one followed. As the one who took the lead, Ye Tianxuan was a bit lenient, allowing any kind of merchant to come. However, he later strictly instructed the others that what they wanted to exchange must be useful supplies, such as food, water, medicine, or clothing.
By the time Changsheng City realized what was happening, they would not only have lost their supplies, but they would also be unable to exchange for even a single bit of lifespan.
But right now, no one has realized that yet. They are blinded by the mountains of life-extending gold coins in front of them. They think that these can be turned into life-extending gold coins, into anything, and that the most precious things in the City of Longevity are within easy reach. They will not hesitate to rush to grab them.
Ye Tianxuan sat in a corner of the street, watching the people busily moving life-sustaining coins. He then began to arrange for people to select a good place to store supplies, house people, and store weapons.
It will take some time to outlast the high priest.
"Master Ye".
The group that Ye Tianxuan trusted the most were those who had knelt in front of the main city at the beginning. He entrusted them with important matters. At this moment, someone hurriedly returned to Ye Tianxuan's side and whispered something.
"The house that meets your requirements has been purchased. It has a large basement, many rooms, and is not far from the main city. The houses around it have also been purchased. What you want to use them for is up to you."
"Okay." Ye Tianxuan nodded casually. "What about the nearby supermarket? Have they moved all the goods?"
"Everything is being moved, all the supplies are ready to be transported! And we are also checking and registering some people who are going to worship Ye Shen, and starting to arrange some things for them."
"Yes, don't let them have access to the supplies. Also, have someone keep an eye on things near the main city. Once a high priest starts stockpiling new lifespans for other citizens, you all go and exchange them immediately, and exchange them all."
"Understood!" The other party nodded knowingly, then hurried off to carry out their task.
Ye Tianxuan sat leisurely on a small stool by the roadside, holding a megaphone and watching the people around him hurry by. He didn't look like a god, but like an old man sunbathing by the roadside, very idle.
In contrast to his leisurely pace, things were in complete chaos in the main city.
"High Priest! All the life-sustaining coins in the residential streets have been exchanged, and they're everywhere! Why didn't they leave any for the other residents?! That's outrageous!"
"High Priest! The lifespans in the main city's instruments are all gone! There are no more lifespans available for exchange. Some residents with lots of lifespan coins are coming to the main city to exchange them, but we can't let them in for the time being. What do you think we should do, High Priest?"
"High Priest, a large number of merchants are coming to exchange supplies with Life Coins! There are too many of them, and they have too many Life Coins. We can't handle them all at once. Should we ask them to wait?"
"High Priest, it seems that all the resources in Changsheng City have been taken away! The resources that were originally expected to last for about half a year in Changsheng City have all disappeared. The merchants that were supposed to continue operating and supplying us have stopped doing business and are now exchanging their lifespans for resources. The main city doesn't have that many resources!"
"High Priest! What do we do?! Those people have too many Life Coins!"
As he listened to the reports coming in, the high priest's face gradually darkened.
That man is really taking advantage of his endless lifespan to act lawlessly in the City of Longevity! He's scattering lifespan coins everywhere, literally making the lifespan value of this place disappear.
After a moment of silence, the high priest gritted his teeth and said, "Reject those who want to exchange supplies for now, make them wait, bring all the instruments back, and collect the lifespans first."
Let the residents make a fuss if they want. The most important thing is to keep all these hard-won lifespans. The residents were already the victims, but now that man has taken this step, it's actually making things easier for her.
When the time comes, just distribute some lifespans to get rid of those people, collect all the extra lifespan coins they have, and they will still obediently go back to work.
