Clear pricing?
What the hell is that!
Duge was stunned in the moment.
During the last simulation, the descriptions of his advanced skills had been clear and straightforward, simple and practical.
But what did clear pricing mean?
Without this skill, couldn’t he label his wares with clear prices himself?
It didn’t seem very useful!
Duge already knew that even with the same keywords, due to everyone’s different personalities, the way they utilized the keywords differed, leading to various advanced skills being developed.
This clear pricing must have emerged from his recent act of trading goods using singing, dancing, and playing the good Samaritan to settle the accounts…

No, that’s not right.
If singing and dancing count as a form of clear pricing, wouldn’t this clear pricing indicate that he now had the power to determine currency; he could use clear pricing to forcefully harvest the most valuable things from others, such as their limbs, even life, or freedom…
Still, that’s not right.
He only had the power to set the prices, and the other party could simply choose not to buy if they felt it inappropriate. No one would be foolish enough to exchange their life for supplies.
Just like before, he set the price at singing and dancing, and those in the underground garage would buy because they urgently needed the goods, and the price was not high, it was within their means; but if the price exceeded their means, the result might be different!
Once powerful, holding the pricing power indeed allows for doing what one desires, but when you’re powerful, isn’t everything at your whim, without any need for pricing power?
…
Whether to buy or not is entirely up to the other party!
What a rubbish skill!
Duge frowned, contemplating the method of trading.
Then, the strategies of major e-commerce businesses on Earth flooded his mind—cash on delivery, installment payments, prepayments, even try now pay later…
Duge’s eyes gradually lit up.
Indeed, every deception one falls for becomes treasured life experience.
In the darkness, the predecessors on Earth had already pointed out the direction for him in business.
Trade, isn’t it just about devising ways to fill my wallet with your money?
…
One phrase “Brother Hu the good Samaritan” could exchange for food; Gu Kun’s distribution of supplies was swift.
With each transaction, Duge’s attributes soared, nearly reaching the standard from when he left the Feng Family.
But his rank barely rose, hovering around the 180 mark, whereas in the previous simulation, he had already ranked first.
Trade combined with kindness doesn’t seem to be as effective as maintenance combined with backstabbing.
Those people kept calling him a good Samaritan; in their hearts, they must not truly think him kind. Probably, while saying good Samaritan, they cursed him twice as a villain in their minds.
Sigh!
Although he was doing good deeds, he couldn’t earn a good reputation…
Duge heaved a sigh, the path of kindness was long and arduous!
…
“Brother Hu, we’re done here,”
Gu Kun came over, biting on a sausage, and handed Duge a vacuum-packed roast chicken and a can of beer.
Behind them.
Huang Mao and the others were either gnawing on chicken feet or eating canned food, even Yao Tong was chewing on a spicy duck neck, each looking content and enjoying themselves…
In contrast, the people in the warehouse were either nibbling on bread or hard steamed buns.
The treatment of the two groups was worlds apart.
Seeing this scene.
Duge’s face immediately darkened.
It isn’t the lack of abundance that’s the problem, but the uneven distribution. No wonder his kindness made no progress—it was all ruined by these guys!
“Put down whatever you’re holding in your hands,” Duge said sternly, his gaze sharp as he stared at the group.
The blond-haired guys were all startled, staring blankly at Duge, not understanding what had happened.
“Brother Hu, what’s wrong?” Gu Kun asked bewilderedly.
“What did I just say? You can’t just take things from the company. Did you guys pay for the stuff you’re eating?” Duge said with a stern face, “As leaders of the company, you can’t be the first to break my rules.”
“Brother Hu, we’re all brothers here, there’s no need for this kind of play, right?” Gu Kun said with an awkward smile, “Those people don’t care.”
“Rules are rules, Gu Kun. Are you trying to rebel against me?” Duge pulled out his handgun and said coldly.
“Brother Hu?” Gu Kun was stunned, seemingly not expecting that for such a trivial matter, Duge would point his gun at him. His facial muscles became somewhat stiff…
The blond-haired guys looked at each other, unsure of what to do, finding that the Brother Hu they knew had suddenly become a stranger.
Others in the garage looked over unanimously, stopping their eating, secretly cheering in their hearts, hoping that this pack of bastards would start fighting immediately, preferably knocking each other’s brains out.
Seeing this, Yao Tong’s brow furrowed even tighter; his heart was pounding rapidly, and the feeling of foreboding grew stronger.
…
Under the dark muzzle of the gun, Gu Kun eventually compromised. He smirked, forcing a grimace of a smile: “Brother Hu, the great kind man, that’s enough, isn’t it?”
His tone was full of resentment.
“No, the price has changed this time.” Duge whistled, putting his gun away, pointed at the items in their hands, and said with a smile, “The stuff you’re eating is high-class, so this time’s price is loyalty. If you want to eat them, you must be loyal to me for life. If you accept this price, I’ll sell it to you; if you don’t, put it down.”
Brother Hu laughed, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Alas!
The people in the garage sighed together and continued eating, realizing it was just a joke among the gangsters. They expected too much; those guys were tight, knowing there was no chance of a fight.
“Brother Hu, you should’ve said it earlier, you gave me a scare,” Gu Kun also breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling, “We already sold our lives to you, brothers. Of course, we are loyal to Brother Hu for life, unless Brother Hu drives us away, there’s no chance we would betray.”
“Exactly, Brother Hu, you’re the boss. If we betray you, where else can we find a meal!” The blond-haired guys laughed and chimed in.
Holding a chicken claw in his hand, the blond guy asked cheekily, “Brother Hu, we’ve paid the price, can we eat now?”
“Eat, eat! You bought it with a lifetime of loyalty, of course, you can eat,” Duge laughed and then turned to Yao Tong, raising an eyebrow, “What about you? Are you willing to exchange a lifetime of loyalty for the food I provide?”
“…” Yao Tong looked at Duge, his eyes somewhat complicated.
“To buy or not to buy, just say something!” Duge asked again, then frowned, “You’re not willing?”
“Fuck, I knew this guy was up to no good,” the blond guy snatched the food out of Yao Tong’s hand and kicked him to the side, “Talking about supporting Brother Hu and making us stronger, my foot!”
“Brother Hu, let’s kill him! This goddamn Heavenly Demon obviously has ulterior motives,” Gu Kun noticed something amiss, “Brother Hu, this guy was swearing by the heart of the Heavenly Demon just now, and now he can’t even dare to pledge loyalty to Brother Hu. Could it be that his oath actually affects the Heavenly Demon?”
“What are you implying, Gu Kun?” Duge glared at Gu Kun, displeased, “Are you saying your loyalty is just for fun too?”
“Brother Hu, mine is definitely real. I’m talking about the Heavenly Demon; this guy is not like us, right?” Gu Kun stuffed the ham into his mouth in just two bites and then glancing sideways at Yao Tong, he said, “I’ve been watching plenty of novels and anime. Some demons, monsters, and the like, once they sign a contract with their master, they can never betray them. I’m thinking, maybe the Heavenly Demon has something like that, and you, perhaps unknowingly triggered some kind of contract, so that’s why he’s so cautious…”
Right on the money!
This Gu Kun is a talent!
Duge glanced at Gu Kun and said with a laugh, “What we have here is a transaction, not some contract. Yao Tong, it was just a joke. You’re not scared of that, are you? Or would you really harbor thoughts of betrayal, thinking of killing me and taking my place?”
Upon hearing Gu Kun’s words, fine beads of sweat unavoidably appeared on Yao Tong’s forehead. He pursed his lips and, looking at Duge, he suddenly said, “The King Covers the Tiger.”
Everyone was taken aback.
Gu Kun looked at Yao Tong in astonishment, “Has this guy gone crazy? What’s this ‘The King Covers the Tiger,’ are you covering your mother’s head?”
The blond guy said, “He’s responding to a secret code! He couldn’t think that our Brother Hu has been possessed by the Heavenly Demon, right?”
Another gangster said, “He just said that Brother Hu is strong and couldn’t be possessed by the Heavenly Demon, and now he’s slapping his own face.”
The remaining gangster came up to Yao Tong, saying, “The King Covers the Tiger; the dick is two and a half meters long, hahaha… Yao Tong, did I get it right?”
“God, the dick is two and a half meters long, Old Yu’s got talent, hahahaha…” Gu Kun and the others all roared with laughter.
“What’s the next line?” Duge came up to Yao Tong, asking with interest.
Yao Tong mumbled with his lips and said, “The Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon.”
Duge turned around, clapped his hands, and said, “Brothers, remember this code. From now on, we’ll use this to fish for the Heavenly Demon…”
