Chapter 177 Candlewax Trading Firm

Baihe City, Yi Xiao Qingcheng Guild Residence.

"Vice Guild Leader Youlan, I have completed the investigation of the Candlelight Trading Firm." A level 23 male assassin entered the Yi Xiao Qingcheng conference room and reported.

"Who opened it?" Youlan asked anxiously.

Originally, Yi Xiao Qingcheng was already at a disadvantage in the wilderness battlefield, and the gold coins consumed daily were not a small number.

Although Mingfu had increased its investment, especially in funds, it was not easy to convert credit points into gold coins. Even with huge sums of money to buy gold coins, the guild's gold coins could only barely break even.

In the beginning, she had not realized that repairing equipment would cost so many gold coins.

However, as the number of guild members dying continued to rise, dying once was nothing, but after dying two or three times, the remaining money of the guild members was almost exhausted. After that, these members had to choose gold coins as compensation in order to repair their equipment.

This made her, who was originally confident, feel a headache, wishing she could strangle Heiyan.

The gold coin expenditure alone had exceeded a thousand gold, not to mention the compensated credit points.

If this went on for a long time, almost all of the compensation would be in gold coins. After all, without repairing equipment, they could not go out to level up. If the equipment was scrapped, they could only get new, good equipment. However, good equipment was not so easy to obtain. Each piece took a lot of effort from the players, and losing one piece was like cutting flesh. If they lost everything, they would probably want to die...

Therefore, before the equipment durability reached the critical point, even if they had to spend credit points to buy gold coins, they had to repair the equipment even if it meant selling everything they had.

However, one thing that puzzled Youlan was that Yi Xiao Qingcheng suffered heavy losses, but Lingyi's losses were also considerable. Moreover, Lingyi did not use credit points as compensation at all, so the number of gold coins consumed should have exceeded theirs. However, until now, Lingyi had not only not shown any signs of being short of money, but had instead spent even more.

It was simply unbelievable!

Youlan had inquired that just building the highest-level blacksmith shop and buying several sets of Dragon Scale equipment had cost at least more than two thousand gold, not to mention the gold coins compensated for the war of attrition.

Even the entire Mingfu would not be able to come up with that much gold at once.

If this war of attrition continued for a long time, Youlan could already see Yi Xiao Qingcheng withdrawing from Baihe City. Now, there had to be some changes, and they had to earn a lot of gold coins.

And the only way to earn a lot of gold coins in God's Domain was through trade.

Although the guild missions issued by the guild residence were indeed a considerable income, they were far behind trade.

Although the major guilds had a lot of gold coins, compared to the countless players in God's Domain, this amount of gold coins was nothing. Even if they only earned one silver from each of the millions of players in Baihe City, that would be tens of thousands of gold coins, completely surpassing any guild.

At that time, let alone dealing with one Lingyi Guild, even if they went to war with several large guilds, they could handle it with ease.

In Baihe City, the most powerful trading firm was the Xinghen Trading Firm, which not only occupied a very good location, but also had land in the eight cities around Baihe City, selling goods directly to nine cities, making money every day, just watching it made people salivate.

Unfortunately, the Xinghen Trading Firm was a NPC property, not a player property. The major guilds tried every means, but could not cooperate with the Xinghen Trading Firm, and finally had to give up, thinking of opening their own shops.

However, ordinary land was of no value. The major guilds were all eyeing the golden land, constantly saving money and increasing their reputation, waiting to buy the golden land.

But now, a Candlelight Trading Firm had emerged, and had taken the lead in buying two pieces of golden land. Although the Candlelight Trading Firm was not as good as the Xinghen Trading Firm in all aspects, it had stood among the top trading firms in Baihe City by relying on the Beginner Strengthening Armor Plates and the complete range of goods. Moreover, as time went on, if it sold a few items that were in short supply among the vast number of players, it would definitely surpass the Xinghen Trading Firm and become the number one trading firm in Baihe City, making money every day.

And unlike the Xinghen Trading Firm, the Candlelight Trading Firm was opened by players, so there was a possibility of cooperation.

That's why Youlan had people investigate the Candlelight Trading Firm.

"I heard that the person in charge there is a young woman named Youyu Weixiao (Melancholy Smile), and she herself is also a blacksmith. She used to be a hired blacksmith at the Xinghen Trading Firm," the male assassin said slowly. "In addition, it seems that the other two blacksmiths at the Xinghen Trading Firm have also transferred to the Candlelight Trading Firm. The Beginner Strengthening Armor Plates were made by them."

"Good, you've done a good job investigating." Youlan smiled slightly. "Youyu Weixiao, this is the first time I've heard this name. There are really a lot of talented people in Baihe City. It seems that I have to go to the Candlelight Trading Firm myself and have a good talk."

At this time, not only Yi Xiao Qingcheng, but also several other large guilds had taken a fancy to the Candlelight Trading Firm.

Such a thriving trading firm was like a large gold mine, which could continuously provide various resources for the guild. If they could get it, they could immediately raise the guild by several levels.

In Xingyue Wangcheng (Star-Moon City), Shifeng (Stone Peak) had another idea about the land in Xingyue Wangcheng because he had ten thousand more gold coins in his pocket.

Although the Candlelight Trading Firm's business next to the underground arena was doing okay, the current underground arena was not very popular. If he wanted to attract the attention of the vast number of players in Xingyue Wangcheng, the land in the central area would be faster and more direct.

However, Dao Yu Wusheng (Blade Language No Life) was just an ordinary noble in Xingyue Wangcheng, and the land he could buy was just ordinary land, which could not buy the central land and golden land of Xingyue Wangcheng at all.

"I have to find a way to improve my reputation!" Shifeng constantly recalled past information about Xingyue Wangcheng in his mind.

After thinking for a while, Shifeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately took a carriage to the palace.

Xingyue Wangcheng was the core of the Xingyue Wangguo (Star-Moon Kingdom), so the improvement of reputation was very slow. If he did reputation missions himself, it would take the year of the ox and the month of the horse to obtain the viscount title of Xingyue Wangcheng.

For this reason, many players gave up doing business in Xingyue Wangcheng and went to other cities.

However, there was a large population of players in Xingyue Wangcheng, and there were always a few powerful figures. Among them, there were a few free players who obtained the title of baron or even viscount before some large guilds, and snatched some good land, making a fortune from it. Just collecting rent every month was enough for these people to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

These people were not ordinary people. They were not completely blank slates, but were rich people who were quite famous in several virtual games, and even made a lot of money.

These people used a special method to frantically刷 (shua) their reputation in a short period of time, and immediately became barons of Xingyue Wangcheng, which later envied the entire Xingyue Wangcheng players.

That method was very simple, using gold coins to buy materials and contribute them to a grand duke, thereby gaining the reputation of Xingyue Wangcheng. However, the ratio of using gold coins to exchange for reputation made ordinary players' scalps tingle, and they cursed the system for being crazy.

However, Shifeng was not short of money now, only short of time. Even if it was more expensive, he had to exchange it.
