"My friends, let's take a look at the gold prices in Dusk Hill and its surrounding areas in the past ten days." October indicated, and a screen appeared in front of a dozen officials sitting around a round table. Through the constantly jumping numbers and a line chart, the trend of gold prices in the area was displayed to everyone.

After a while, when the officials finished reading the data, someone immediately asked: "What exactly caused the gold price to fall?"

"Simply put, it can be attributed to two reasons. The world mission in the north has just ended. As one of the four major forces participating in the war, Dusk Town has received a lot of spoils, including a large number of treasures that have been stored in the dwarf main city fortress for hundreds of years, which has led to a large influx of gold in the surrounding areas and the accumulation of wealth."

"If it were just like this, then the gold price would return to normal after a while, but we accidentally discovered some bad trends. Someone seems to be injecting a large amount of gold, causing the gold price to continue to fall, and at the same time inciting the studios that do not know the truth to attack the local major forces. This is the root cause of the danger."

"Someone is injecting gold? Lowering the price? Can't find out who did it?" The officials around him all looked serious. If they couldn't even find out who did it, the matter would be very serious.

Moreover, the number of players in the area around Dusk Hills is no less than 300,000. Once there is an impact on the area, it will harm the interests of countless players.

When the price of gold goes down, the economy will be turbulent. A few manipulators can easily collect countless gold and then use special means to make the gold price rise again. The difference between the drop and the rise is often tens of millions of RMB.

Therefore, no one dared to underestimate the staff below, and someone asked: "What is the reaction of the players below now?"

"Everyone was kept in the dark, probably feeling lucky for the drop in gold, so that they can buy more goods, and merchants are careful about too high prices, but most studios have suffered huge losses, and the money they have earned can only maintain operations, so everyone hopes that WGCA will solve it quickly and restore normal order."

After listening to the words of the people below, October pondered for a while, tapped the table with his fingers and said: "Since we can't find the culprit, we still follow the old method and send people out to investigate secretly. It is estimated that there are some inside stories this time, and it is not so easy to solve them properly. Let's try to solve as much as we can."

At this time, at the border of Dusk Hill.

The market is the best place to receive idle players. If adventurers get any good equipment, they only need to register in the market, and they can set up stalls and sell the things conveniently.

"Rare equipment is on sale at a low price. A total of three pieces are packed for a total of 14,000 gold."

"For sale Earth Dragon Egg, 4,000 gold each, those who want to become Earth Dragon Knights, hurry up, it's the lowest price."

There were constant shouts of hawking in the market. On the surface, they were selling at a low price, but the players passing by all frowned and discussed that gold seemed to be less and less valuable recently, and the prices of things were getting higher and higher.

But the gold exploded by killing monsters basically does not change.

For them, the best solution is to exchange it directly from the bank. At this time, the exchange price is the lowest. You can exchange it for countless gold with a little money to solve the problem at hand.

But on the other hand, for the studio, they are unable to stop the nine major banks from adjusting the exchange rate for gold. When the exchange rate is extremely low, they have to sell it at a discount, otherwise no player is willing to buy the money the studio has earned.

They suffered heavy losses.

In the center of the town of Dusk Town, all construction is going on in full swing, and the gold incident has not yet affected it. It was not until a few pieces of information fell into Shen Xuan's hands that Miss Xiao, who was in the same room with her, learned about the changes that had taken place in the recent period of time.

Some well-informed or far-sighted studios had already sold their gold, but Cangdu Studio had just been established and had not yet started this business, so it was not implicated.

“I think the first opportunity for Cangdu Studio to make money has arrived.” Ms. Xiao said while reading the information.

"Make money? We need to find out the specific reasons for the decline in gold prices first, right? What role do we need to play?"

"Well, the decline in gold prices is related to the war between underground forces and the north. One part is the gold directly seized by the dwarf city, which is about 340 million. Our Dusk Town alone brought nearly 40 million. The other part is the large-scale sale of goods, which attracted merchants from surrounding areas to gather and convert goods into gold. Among them, our Dusk Town accounted for the largest share, 280 million, with a total of about 590 million. As a result, gold has become less and less valuable, which is the root cause of the gold crisis."

"However, it seems that some funds of unknown origin, about hundreds of millions of gold, have also poured into the local area. The amount of gold gathered in the local area has at least multiplied tenfold compared to a month ago. This is the key to the surrounding areas becoming more and more chaotic."

It should be noted that once gold falls, the cost of some technologies will also increase, and it is not deducted according to the system settings, unless it is pure consumption, such as casting into a golden statue, then the cost of gold falling remains unchanged.

The decline in gold prices has little impact on them. The large territories are always more resistant to shocks than the territories of game studios. Just like the financial crisis decades ago, small countries were easily ruined by speculators and faced bankruptcy. Large countries can take various measures to avoid risks.

For example, resources are all in place, so there is no need to worry about problems. The main project of the Element Gate, the development plan of the North Rift Mountains and the missionary work in the Weize Wetland will continue as usual.

Shen Xuan thought for a while, "On the premise of avoiding risks, the next thing is how to make a fortune from it. Judging from the current trend, it seems that someone wants to manipulate the market by taking advantage of the decline in gold prices."

"Fortunately, this time we have the Locke Consortium as the backstage, and we can be invincible no matter what."

Manipulating the price of a certain item depends on the understanding of the market situation and the sufficient capital behind it. With sufficient capital, you can take all the goods, strive for a monopoly, and sell them when you get the information immediately without worrying about accidents.

But for small investors, if they rush to hoard gold, but gold remains stable or falls under the pressure of some big investors, their investment is basically a failure.

These are some very simple principles. The Locke Consortium has a strong enough background to ensure that they will not have a funding shortage. If Shen Xuan encountered such a thing in the past, especially when he was not very strong in the game, his first choice would never be to take advantage of it, but to protect himself.

Basically, when encountering such a situation, the first thing to do is to find out how capable the other party is. If they can't deal with it, investing a large amount of money will only turn it into money in other people's pockets, and the result will be nothing.

The two quickly reached a tacit understanding. Just when they wanted to clarify the task, suddenly, several NPCs responsible for territory intelligence rushed in——
