Chapter 132 Private Refining of Magical Instruments
Zhao Cunyuan, who came with high hopes but left with disappointment, was extremely depressed.

God knows how long he has been looking forward to the universal flying sword.

It turned out to be out of stock?

After asking the clerk at the General Store, I learned that the General Chamber of Commerce did not expect the product to be so popular, and some of the stocks were insufficient. However, the store has already applied for a transfer, and the goods should arrive the next day.

Okay, Zhao Cunyuan could only be patient and wait for another day.

After returning home, he opened the Internet again. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Internet was flooded with news about the Universal Flying Sword.

There was a lot of discussion in the forum, and I went to Jiuzhou Video. Wow, some people were even showing off the flying swords they had just obtained.

However, just a casually shot video attracted hundreds of thousands of hits, and its popularity is simply astonishing!
This wave of traffic was quickly discovered by those who were interested.

Not long after, someone on the Internet released a review of the Universal Flying Sword.

Watching the person in the video controlling the universal flying sword, chopping everything from fruits, plants, to pork and stones, Zhao Cunyuan felt itchy in his heart.

I can't wait to get it and play with it.

In the evening, the news broadcast focused on the hot sales of General Flying Sword.

The more you watch, the more excited you become.

The next day, Zhao Cunyuan learned his lesson and rushed to Yong County before dawn.

When he arrived at the destination, he saw a long queue outside the General Store again, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Excuse me, when will you come? Why are you lining up so early?"

Zhao Cunyuan was unwilling to give up and started to inquire about the person in front of him.

"Brother, are you from out of town? There are people lining up here at midnight."

The man looked so smug that Zhao Cunyuan wanted to slap him in the face.

Cursing in his heart, Zhao Cunyuan could only obediently run to the back and queue up.

Just after the hour of Mao, the general store opened on time again.

Unlike yesterday, this time a waiter came out and walked along the line, constantly asking if they wanted to buy flying swords. Then he counted the number of people, and when he counted to Zhao Cunyuan, he immediately bowed with an apologetic look and said:
"My fellow Taoists, I am so sorry. Starting from this Taoist, those who want to buy the founding edition of the flying sword no longer need to queue up, as it is out of stock. If you want to buy the advanced edition or the collector's edition, there is still a small amount of stock."

Zhao Cunyuan's face turned green when he heard this. He grabbed the waiter and asked:
"You mean, it's out of stock starting from me?"

"The founding edition is out of stock, but there are a few others in stock."

"No, I came here yesterday. Didn't they say they would stock up today? Why are they out of stock again?"

"My fellow Daoist, I am truly sorry. Our Universal Flying Swords are so popular that all major distribution stores are out of stock. The goods we can get are really limited. Please forgive us!"

The guy had received training long ago and bowed his head in apology with an apologetic look on his face.

Looking at the guy with an apologetic face, Zhao Cunyuan was so angry that he had no place to vent.

Not to mention him, many of the people behind him were furious and shouted that the General Chamber of Commerce had to transfer the goods no matter what.

For a while, the scene was in great chaos and many people were unwilling to leave.

Zhao Cunyuan, who was about to leave, was moved when he saw this scene and stayed.

He even wondered whether he should queue up overnight.

Anyway, as a monk, he has strong physical strength, so it is no problem for him to survive a night or two.

Just at this moment, a cultivator came over with a sly look in his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoists, do you want to use a flying sword?"

As soon as these words came out, the monks who had been complaining all around suddenly brightened up and asked hurriedly, "How much?"

The monk raised a finger: "Ten taels of silver."

"Alas--"

The crowd booed loudly, and no one was willing to pay an extra ounce of silver.

By the way, isn't the reason why universal flying swords are so popular because they are of good quality and low price?

Only a fool would be willing to get an extra ounce of silver for no reason!

At worst, I can just wait in line for another day.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, please make it cheaper, I'll take it."

Some were unwilling to do so, but others stopped the scalper and started bargaining. After a low discussion, the two finally reached a deal.

When the transaction was completed, the person who bought the flying sword smiled and explained to everyone who looked at him like a fool:
"Let everyone know that the popularity of universal flying swords is very high now. Any video I post will get hundreds of thousands of hits. I paid a small premium for the sword, but I can make it back by just posting a video."

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had been secretly laughing at him were stunned.

And this kind of operation?

Yes, I don’t know where this trend of conducting reviews came from.

However, overnight, many video hosts became keenly aware of the popularity of universal magical tools.

They started shooting various videos around the universal magical instruments.

Is there anyone who specializes in exploring the mystery of the 326 black iron?
Some people have tried the universal flying sword control effect;

Some people also started filming various funny videos, which attracted countless people to follow suit.

These secondary creations also further promoted the popularity of universal magical instruments, so much so that many disciples of the sects also cast curious glances at them.

The price is not expensive, so it’s nice to buy one for fun.

The original edition is too simple, but the collector's edition is just so-so.

Once this group of people took action, the universal flying swords, which were already in short supply, became even more difficult to find!
To a certain extent, it actually increases the scarcity of universal flying swords.

Whoever can buy a universal flying sword and post it on social circles will receive envious, jealous and hateful comments, which are enough to make one's vanity explode.

For a time, whether or not one could own a universal flying sword had become a symbol of personal strength and financial resources.

Ordinary people line up to grab the goods;

Rich people simply go to the black market to get the goods.

This further stimulated the market, to the point that many people knew that as long as they could grab a universal flying sword and resell it, they could easily make an extra two or three taels of silver.

As a result of the chain reaction, the popularity of the Universal Flying Sword has exploded and it has become a national-level magic weapon.

Even the illiterate villagers knew that a very powerful magical tool was being sold in the county.

……

……

Heyang County, Mojia Fort.

"Dad, we sold our flying sword too early. Now on the black market, the founding edition has risen to twelve taels, and the advanced edition collector's edition is more than 30% more expensive,"

The young master of the Mo family had a look of regret on his face.

It turned out that when Mojiabao was doing OEM for the General Chamber of Commerce, it produced an extra batch.

After the General Chamber of Commerce put it on sale, it was sold privately.

Who could have thought that after just a few days, the price of universal magic tools would go up all the way. I felt so regretful!

"It's okay. This is just the beginning. There's still time to prepare the stock. By the way, how is the purchase of black iron going?"

The Lord of Mohist Castle was calm.

"It's done."

The young master of the Mo family nodded and said with a strange look:

"Dad, the price of black iron is rising all the time. I suspect other sects are also privately refining universal magic tools."

"Don't doubt it, this is inevitable. Universal magic tools are so crude that they can only fool laymen. It's not difficult for us refiners to copy them. Universal magic tools are in short supply now, so why shouldn't we take a piece of the pie?"

"This is beneficial to us."

The young master of the Mo family was delighted. The market opened up by universal magic tools was too huge, and his Mo family could not take in much of it.

Therefore, more people joining the game also means that the Mohist school will become even less noticeable.

"Don't be careless. If the universal magic weapon is used to scare the monkeys, it might choose us. It's better to be cautious."

"Yes, my child understands."

The young master of the Mo family was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
