I woke up in the morning feeling utterly exhausted, my limbs practically turned to jelly. Last night, Lu Xuehan and I had kept at it until past midnight—a full five hours. While Lu Xuehan churned out scrolls almost without a single pause, I ran back and forth between the cathedral and our market stalls. I have to admit, once word got out about how effective the temporary attack scrolls were, practically every player with a bit of cash came running to buy one. The demand for scrolls far outstripped our supply. In total, we sold around a thousand of them.
At first, I only planned to sell a maximum of five hundred. But seeing how fiercely the market was responding, I immediately doubled the price, and buyers still scrambled for them. Overnight, Lu Xuehan and I reaped a massive profit of 500,000 RMB.
Lu Xuehan was so thrilled she couldn't even sleep. She dragged a chair over to my bedside and insisted on chatting about her thoughts on the whole thing, keeping me awake until three in the morning. If not for the auction this morning, I'd probably still be fast asleep.
