Return of the Ancient Gods

"At this point, all calculations are useless. It all depends on who has more capital!" Chu Nan concluded meaningfully.

They set up the trap so carefully that it was already a great success to get King Kang to take the bait. It would be a luxury to expect anything else.

The rest depends on who is stronger.

Everything went according to plan. A large sum of money was obtained from the black market, and Chu Nan also gained the support of the three major families. The gap between him and the Kangwang Mansion was suddenly reduced to 33 times.

"Sir, the Kang Palace has reduced the price of the Qi-nourishing Pill to 100. You can enjoy a % discount when you buy other pills from them." After receiving the latest information, the Wen family father and son rushed to report and asked Chu Nan for advice.

"Prince, do you think we should lower the price a bit?"

"No need. The effect of the loss-making diversion of traffic at the Prince Kang's Mansion will not be too great, and it will not pose too much of a threat to us for the time being." Chu Nan waved his hand to refuse. He had received rave reviews on his side, and his advantageous position would not be shaken so easily.

And he was sure that things that would surprise King Kang had just begun.

"I'm worried that the market capacity is limited. If it is taken over by Kangwang Mansion, the more saturated it becomes, the worse the effect will be."

To be on the safe side, Chu Nan agreed to lower the price of the new Qi-nourishing Pill to 97 medium-grade spirit stones per bottle.

Although Kangwangfu lowered its prices to attract some customers, the effect was minimal:

"Why, why is it so? I have already lowered the price so much, but not many people come to buy it?" King Kang roared to the sky, blood spurting out three feet high.

"Your subordinate..." the new accountant stammered.

"Just say whatever you want to say!" King Kang roared impatiently, his face like a ferocious tiger that might burst out of the cage and bite people at any time.

“Yes, I thought it was because after the college competition, Your Majesty, you drastically raised the price of the pills for no reason, causing resentment among consumers.

In contrast to us, Prince Chu Nan's methods of winning people's hearts are much more sophisticated..." Mr. Account Book said slowly, and he quickly apologized by throwing his head to the ground when he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"According to statistics, if we lower our prices by the same amount as the Wen family, the effect will only be half of theirs."

"What do you mean by raising the price without reason? My costs have increased so much, shouldn't the price also increase? That little wolf cub is only good at superficial work..."

King Kang immediately became unhappy after hearing this. He extremely hated the feeling that the whole world was against him. It was like this back then and it is still like this now.

King Kang was furious after beating Mr. Accountant to death. He looked at me fiercely and gritted his teeth and whispered:

"You want to play, right? I'll accompany you till the end!"

In the following period of time, the Wen family and Kangwangfu continued to lower prices to attract traffic, striving to crush each other before the market reached saturation, even if it was below cost price.

After spending a lot of money, in less than half a month, Chu Nan was already running out of money:

As soon as they received this capital, they were anxious to invest it in production and operations for the next period of time to ensure that internal conflicts would not break out. They lived one day at a time. It was really difficult to counterattack.

They were worried every day, had no appetite, and couldn't sleep at night. Chu Nan and others were almost going crazy with anxiety.

"The situation here is very good now, and the gap between us and Prince Kang's Mansion is getting smaller and smaller, and has been reduced to within 10. We just need to work harder, but there is no money? Damn it!" Chu Nan was annoyed. He wanted to increase his efforts but was powerless. It was no use robbing Peter to pay Paul. He searched every aspect over and over again, saving money, borrowing money, and wished he could split one dollar into ten parts.

"If we run out of strength now, it means defeat! We've made it this far, but I didn't expect this to be the ending." The head of the Wen family was unwilling to give in. The dawn of hope was right in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it. It was always more painful than not seeing it at all.

Now Chu Nan and his men have already used up all their strength, are heavily in debt, and have reached their limits in all aspects.

"Although the funds of Prince Kang's Mansion are more sufficient than ours, the pressure they bear is also greater. I just can't swallow this last breath!" Fatty Wen Tao complained, and then he had an idea.

"How about we..."

"Don't think about it, it's useless. Besides, the creditors outside are asking us to pay back the money immediately like mad dogs. It won't work to use pills to pay it back..." Chu Nan poured a basin of cold water on the fat man after understanding his plan.

"Besides, our goal this time is to make King Kang accept defeat sincerely. If we use other means, even if we win, there will be endless troubles. It's not worth it!"

When Chu Nan was extremely anxious, he thought of something and took out the lucky bag that his uncle Chen Yi Jue had given him.

"What have you thought of? Isn't this the lucky bag given to you by your father, the Demon-Suppressing King? It should contain talismans and seals that can save your life in critical moments..." Chen Hezhi asked curiously. They, father and son, had also received lucky bags from the Demon-Suppressing King, so they were familiar with it.

"I don't think so. My father said that this thing might be able to help me at a critical moment. Now..." Chu Nan was full of longing. He was nervous inside and slowly opened the brocade bag. For some reason, he chose to believe in this unrealistic hope.

When the brocade bag was finally opened, everyone present burst into ecstasy. The pressure was instantly lifted, and King Kang could finally breathe his last.

Chu Nan shouted even more wantonly: "Kill into the Shiwan Mountains!"

With the support, Chu Nan stepped up his efforts as he wished and seized the market. The Kangwang Mansion was indeed in trouble:

"Damn it! I'm obviously much stronger than that little wolf cub, so why can't I do anything to him?" King Kang was furious. He didn't care about his family property shrinking a little bit after fighting until now, but he still couldn't take down Chu Nan, a centipede. He was very annoyed, especially after being betrayed by his former allies.

"The Wang family are also fence-sitters. They actually chose to side with that little wolf cub. How hateful!

And the Qin family, didn't you say that Qin Wenhan would definitely fall out with Chu Nan and board our ship? What about now? "

"Qin Wenhan's performance is indeed puzzling, but the more critical the moment, the more you must persist, Your Majesty!" The cloaked young man comforted him and then took out two bottles of pills to show to King Kang.

"It doesn't matter if the other major families take sides at this time. The most important thing is to stop the loss in time and find out the gaps. These are the pills that our two families sell. Our Qi-nourishing Pills actually have the process of engraving array patterns..."

In order to preserve the medicinal properties of the elixir, the last step of refining is often to have the rune master carve the array pattern, which will increase the cost a lot. Generally, this step is part of the production of elixirs, but in an emergency, it is necessary to do so.

When King Kang thought of this, he became so angry that he vomited blood!

"Which idiot has betrayed me?" King Kang roared and cursed. He could no longer bear it and went on a rampage, destroying half of the mansion. He ordered a thorough investigation and the execution of a large number of people.

"There is one more thing. The main ingredient of the new Qi-nourishing Pill launched by Chu Nan and his team is not the Purple Spirit Grass, but the Black Frost Leaf. We should start from this aspect. We should retaliate in the same way that Chu Nan set a trap to frame you, Your Highness." The cloaked young man persuaded, and confirmed it without a doubt after careful identification.

I didn't expect that during my absence, this idiot King Kang would end up in such a situation, but this was exactly what he wanted, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Let's put this matter aside for now and deal with the pills we have on hand first." King Kang shook his head helplessly, his tone much weaker, and he did not feel the slightest bit happy about finding a breakthrough to deal with Chu Nan.

“Could it be that…” The young man in the cloak pretended to be surprised and stopped insisting.

A new round of price war begins again:

"Why don't the Qi-nourishing Pills in Prince Kang's Mansion have array patterns engraved on them? Originally, I was thinking of buying the one from the Wen family to use first, and keeping the one from Prince Kang's Mansion to use later, but now I have to choose one of the two."

"I'm so angry. The price is so low, but I don't have the money to buy it. Oh, it's too early!"

With the support of the four great families except King Kang, King Han and the Qin family, and the help of the Demon-Suppressing King, Chu Nan handled the new round of price war very calmly and was basically sure of victory.
