Chapter 175 New Instructions

Not long after Feng Xuanyang gave his order, Youlan of Maple Leaf City also issued a new directive.

Another price cut!

"Sister Youlan, if we cut prices again, I'm afraid we won't make much money," a female assistant said cautiously.

"I don't want to either." Youlan shook her head helplessly. "The Candlelight Trading Firm's move is really clever. They were actually able to get such good products. Whether it's ordinary players or elite players, they all need the Bright Stone. Our Fire Dragon Potion is very good, but the players who can afford it are elite teams and major guilds, and we don't produce a lot of Fire Dragon Potions. We simply can't compete with the more affordable Bright Stone."

"Oh, right, from now on, stop selling Fire Dragon Potions in White River City," Youlan said after thinking for a moment.

If they wanted to attract players, the only way was to start with ordinary goods.

The Fire Dragon Potion originally couldn't meet the demand in Maple Leaf City, and they also opened a store in White River City, making the stock of Fire Dragon Potions even more stretched. Competitiveness was getting weaker and weaker, and there was a cross-city fee for selling Fire Dragon Potions in White River City, which was also a considerable expense. Now they could only protect the competitiveness of Alluring City Firm in Maple Leaf City first.

"Yes." The female assistant then left the meeting room.

After Alluring City Firm lowered the prices of ordinary goods, it did indeed tempt some ordinary players.

Sharpening Stones and Advanced Sharpening Stones, as well as a lot of food, recovery potions, mana recovery potions, basic scrolls, and so on, were all essential for going into the wild. Now that Alluring City Firm was selling them at a 40% discount, many ordinary players went on a buying frenzy.

In Maple Leaf City, the once weak Alluring City Firm began to be on par with Candlelight Trading Firm. It could be said that each occupied one side of the sky.

Candlelight Trading Firm had Basic Enhanced Armor Plates and Bright Stones.

Alluring City Firm had Fire Dragon Potions and discounted ordinary goods.

This made the players in Maple Leaf City extremely happy.

Although Candlelight Trading Firm didn't have a big advantage in Maple Leaf City, it was thriving in other cities. Because of the Bright Stone, it attracted a large number of players. Some of these players came to Candlelight Trading Firm just to buy Bright Stones, but seeing the complete range of goods at Candlelight Trading Firm, they couldn't help but buy some other things.

This caused the income of Candlelight Trading Firm to soar.

But the most exaggerated income was in Star-Moon City and White River City, because Candlelight Trading Firm occupied prime locations and had the Bright Stone, immediately becoming an unshakable top-tier player firm in the city. The player traffic was simply incomparable to other player firms.

These two cities were the cities with the first and second highest player populations in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, occupying a large amount of population resources, and naturally brought in very impressive income.

In just a few hours, the entire Candlelight Trading Firm brought in a net income of over a thousand gold, making it even more profitable than the previous Star痕Trading Firm.

"Guild Leader, why don't we open more stores in other cities?" Melancholic Smile couldn't help but suggest after just looking at the net income.

These were only seven major cities. If they could open stores in all the cities in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, the net income would truly be drool-worthy.

"Don't rush. We're currently using nearly a hundred blacksmiths to make Bright Stones, and that's barely enough to support the supply to these seven major cities. If we expand further, we won't be able to handle it ourselves. The current focus is on cultivating a large number of blacksmiths and alchemists." Shi Feng was very calm about this.

As for earning a thousand gold in just a few hours, he didn't find it strange. However, this rate of income would gradually slow down. Before, players bought a lot because they didn't have Bright Stones. Once they had them, they would naturally only buy them when they ran out. So the income of Candlelight Trading Firm would gradually decrease later, but the income would still be very impressive.

"Guild Leader, what about the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates?" Melancholic Smile asked.

Shi Feng had said before not to sell them for now, and she didn't understand why.

"Haven't you noticed that someone in White River City is buying Bright Stones in large quantities?" Shi Feng asked with a smile.

"It seems so. Looking at the data earlier, I discovered that someone actually bought 500 stacks of Bright Stones at once, which is 95 gold coins. Then there were purchases of 300 stacks and 400 stacks, but even if a guild kept them in reserve, they wouldn't buy so many," Melancholic Smile nodded.

"Someone is maliciously trying to buy out all of our Bright Stones. What if we launch the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates and he doesn't buy them? Now that someone is willing to buy them in large quantities, how can I not make him happy?" Shi Feng said with a smile.

Bright Stones were quick to make. Just one blacksmith could make one in eight seconds if they were slow, or six seconds if they were fast. After all, they only needed to process it slightly and apply a few magic patterns. It was just that applying the magic patterns was more troublesome, but it was easy after getting familiar with it. Then there was the issue of success rate. The success rate of blacksmiths was 60%, and with good equipment, the success rate was about 70%.

In other words, a blacksmith could make about 20,000 in a day, because a day in God's Domain was 48 hours, and 100 people would make 2 million. In two days, they would make 4 million. This was just what the blacksmiths made. Shi Feng had everyone learn all the design blueprints for Bright Stones, and many advanced blacksmith apprentices were also making them, but they were not as fast as the blacksmiths.

Four million stones were 200,000 stacks. One stone was 1 silver coin, and one stack was 19 silver coins. To buy them all, you would need at least 38,000 gold.

Currently, in the entire God's Domain, Shi Feng didn't believe that anyone had 38,000 gold. Even if they did, no one would spend it all on Bright Stones. They would have bought land to increase its value long ago.

At this time, Feng Xuanyang was still sitting at an outdoor table in a high-end restaurant, admiring the Bright Stone.

"This thing is indeed good. As long as we buy all the Bright Stones from Candlelight Trading Firm, Candlelight Trading Firm will have to limit sales due to the shortage of Bright Stones. Then it will be time for our Alluring City Firm to rise." Feng Xuanyang sneered in his heart.

This was like the Basic Mana Armor Plates back then. The Basic Mana Armor Plates were too scarce at the time. Originally, they were 20 silver coins each, but later players sold them to each other for 40 silver coins each, and many people were scrambling to buy them.

As long as Candlelight Trading Firm limited sales, he could sell Bright Stones through Alluring City Firm. Then he could ask for 1.5 silver coins each, and there would definitely be a lot of people buying them. He wouldn't lack buyers at all.

"Young Master Feng, we have already purchased a large amount of gold coins using credit points. Adding the considerable amount of gold coins earned from Alluring City Firm, we bought a total of more than 4,000 stacks, spending all the money we had on hand, but Candlelight Trading Firm doesn't seem to have any intention of limiting sales," the slightly fat middle-aged man said with sweat on his forehead, worried.

"What are you worried about? We bought so much at once, their inventory must not be much anymore. Before long, it will be time for us to rise." Feng Xuanyang said very confidently.

He had previously asked the three advanced blacksmith apprentices he had poached, and the success rate of making Bright Stones was less than 30%. It took more than ten seconds to make one. Even if there were more than a dozen people making them non-stop, they wouldn't have made many in the past few days. Now that they had bought so many, plus the Bright Stones bought by many other players, even if they hadn't reached the limit of Candlelight Trading Firm, they weren't far from it.

Next, they would just wait patiently.
