Chapter 1 The Madness of the Guilds

The news of the private residence auction in Stone Forest City made the vast number of free players feel that the major forces had gone mad. Just to make things easier for one person in Stone Forest City, they had spent millions of credits in just one month. It was not as if money should be spent like this.

With so much money, they could more than afford to stay in a seven-star hotel.

But now, they were just renting an ordinary private residence in Stone Forest City. The world of the rich was truly beyond their understanding.

"Damn it! Just for the convenience of going back and forth, are these people serious?"

"If I had such a city in God's Domain one day, I could become a world billionaire."

"Hype! It's definitely hype!"

…

For a time, everyone was talking about it, and even forgot to level up and fight monsters. Everyone began to pay attention to the auction of private residences in Stone Forest City.

In addition to ordinary players, the major forces in God's Domain, after receiving this news, also realized the horror of God's Domain for the first time. Seizing an opportunity to make money was truly terrifying.

For ordinary players, it goes without saying that previous transactions were mainly based on gold coins, and daily expenses were also paid with gold and silver coins. Even if there was not much difference between God's Domain and reality, and gold coins could be sold to exchange for credits, there was no real feeling.

But now the auctions in Stone Forest City were all priced in credits, which gave everyone a deep experience. Suddenly, they felt that God's Domain was not just a simple virtual reality game, but more like another country in which they lived in reality.

After the sky-high-priced private residences in Stone Forest City were auctioned off one by one, the entire Zero Wing Guild was also a sensation.

"Guild Leader, we have already rented out 1,667 units, with the lowest price being more than 600,000 credits and the highest price reaching 1.74 million. The total revenue has exceeded 2 billion credits!" Melancholy Smile couldn't help but report to Shi Feng.

Originally, she thought that renting out all the houses in Stone Forest City would be enough to cover the guild's daily expenses and retain those lifestyle players, but now, less than a third of the houses built had been rented out, and the income had far exceeded that.

Now, let alone retaining those lifestyle players in the Candlelight Trading Firm, even doubling the current number of lifestyle players would not be a problem.

Moreover, now whether they were members of Zero Wing or lifestyle players of the Candlelight Trading Firm, after learning about the income of Stone Forest City, everyone was full of confidence in Zero Wing and the Candlelight Trading Firm. Because of this incident, even advanced lifestyle players from other major guilds ran to the Candlelight Trading Firm, wanting to negotiate with the Candlelight Trading Firm to join.

Previously, the Candlelight Trading Firm was indeed considered a holy land for lifestyle players in the Star-Moon Kingdom, but in order to retain talents, the major guilds offered much higher prices than Candlelight, which retained these advanced lifestyle players and prevented them from rushing into the Candlelight Trading Firm all at once.

But now, the Candlelight Trading Firm directly offered a guaranteed credit salary system for advanced lifestyle players, which made the advanced lifestyle players of the major guilds and free advanced lifestyle players unable to sit still.

A guaranteed monthly salary of 20,000 credits was something that ordinary people would not even dare to think about.

It was equivalent to saying that as long as they became an advanced lifestyle player of the Candlelight Trading Firm, they would not have to work at all, and they could still do what they liked. How pleasant would that be? If they could become a master, with a guaranteed monthly income of 100,000 credits, that would be simply amazing.

In just a short period of time, the Candlelight Trading Firm received more than 600 applications from advanced lifestyle players, all hoping to join Zero Wing. As for lifestyle masters, five of them had contacted them. There was no need to worry about the Candlelight Trading Firm not developing.

"I really underestimated the desire of these guilds and adventure teams for Stone Forest City." Shi Feng was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Although he knew that the auction price would definitely exceed the 50,000 of the peak period in his previous life, after all, Stone Forest City entered the Abyssal Passage too early, and there was not even a single competitor. It could be said that it was very normal to exceed that price, but he had not expected it to exceed it by so much.

However, on second thought, it was normal.

Currently, the Abyssal Passage was the best place for players to get full training. There was simply no other place like it. At the same time, treasures were everywhere, and it was definitely the most cutting-edge map in God's Domain.

Training, leveling, and treasures were all first-class in the entire God's Domain. Superimposed together, they would naturally arouse the madness of expert players, not to mention the top expert players in the major guilds.

With such a good opportunity to seize the advantage, let alone one million, even two million would not make the top experts of the major guilds frown. After all, with good luck, seizing the advantage, or having strength ahead of others, the benefits brought were not comparable to one or two million credits.

"Guild Leader, at this rate, it is estimated that the three thousand units scheduled to be rented out today will be completely rented out in three or four hours. With this money, Star Ring will not be able to poach our people." Melancholy Smile said with confidence.

Maybe Star Ring could offer higher prices to poach people, but they could also use the current prices to poach the same talents. One out and one in could completely maintain the existing scale of the Candlelight Trading Firm, and it might even be larger. If this continued, even Star Ring would not be able to keep losing money all the time.

"No! We will not rent out three thousand units today, but only two thousand units. After that, we will only rent out one thousand units per day." Shi Feng shook his head and said with a smile.

Things are valued when they are scarce. Now that the opportunity was rare, it would be difficult to rent at the current price next month. Taking advantage of this time, they could naturally earn as much as possible. Moreover, the benefits of Stone Forest City's private residences were not yet known to everyone. All of this still needed to be fermented and brewed.

Currently, 2 billion credits could solve the crisis of the Candlelight Trading Firm and Zero Wing. Naturally, they did not need these few days. Moreover, he wanted to open his own training hall in Fenglin City, which required a large sum of credits.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Stone Forest City to build more private residences and shops before starting to raise this fund. Now it seemed that as long as the first phase of private residences was completed, it was entirely possible to get this fund directly.

"Rent out two thousand units first? I will issue instructions immediately." Melancholy Smile also understood and immediately contacted the heads of the major Candlelight Trading Firms.

Not long after this instruction was issued, two thousand private residences were all rented out.

"Everyone, all the places for rent today have been rented out. Please come again tomorrow." The excited host also announced to everyone with great regret.

For a time, the entire venue became noisy.

"What's going on? Are they all gone?"

"Damn it! How many units have been rented out? Why are they all gone?"

"I was just about to make a move? Aren't you even giving me a chance to make a move?"

The major forces in the venue were very angry. Many forces who originally wanted to wait and see the situation were regretting it. They originally wanted to wait until the major guilds had bought almost all of them, so that there would be fewer competitors and they could rent them out at a cheaper price. But the result was like this.

"Tiantong is really too crazy today. Let's come back in a few days. We have no chance at all when these expert forces make a move. Wait a few days, and when those expert forces have digested almost all of them, you can rent them out again. It will definitely be much cheaper." The level 56 female cleric persuaded Tiantong.

"I understand." Tiantong also nodded.

The first few days of renting would definitely be hot, but when the private residences had been digested almost all of them, the price would naturally drop. And she was not in a hurry to level up in these few days.

After that, the players in the venue all went back. As for the major forces, they all left players behind to report the situation of the Candlelight Trading Firm at any time, waiting for the latest news on the Candlelight Trading Firm's rental of private residences.

As for the players who had auctioned off private residences in Stone Forest City at the venue, they all couldn't help but go to Stone Forest City, preparing to start their conquest in the Abyssal Passage today. After all, it was better to be ahead by one day.
