The Candlelight Auction House's appearance on the Purple Thorns Kingdom's official forums caused an uproar. Ordinary independent players, in particular, rushed to Glory Town the moment they saw the post.
Normally, it was extremely difficult to earn money. Moreover, there were many ways to spend money in God's Domain. Normally, it was not easy to exchange Credits for Gold Coins. This was because many Workshops and money-farming teams sold Gold Coins at a minimum of 5 Gold Coins. It was not an amount that ordinary players could accept. Very few would sell Gold Coins for 1 Gold or 50 Silver Coins. Although ordinary players wanted to purchase Gold Coins in exchange for Bronze or Mysterious-Iron Equipment, it was extremely difficult to come across such an opportunity.
Although they would visit the Auction Houses of large Guilds' towns and cities, these Guild Auction Houses sold very few items. Moreover, it wasn't easy to visit them.
Now that the Candlelight Auction House had appeared in an NPC town and had a large number of items for sale, the majority of players couldn't sit still.
In less than half an hour, Glory Town, which originally had only a small number of players, became overcrowded. Players swarmed into the Auction House one after another. Some sold items, while others bought items. The liveliness of the Auction House was even more exaggerated than that of Ling Yi City.
Even the Shifeng in the Auction House was surprised to see such a lively scene.
According to the Auction House's statistics, more than 30,000 players had sold their items in the Candlelight Auction House in just 20 minutes. Meanwhile, more than 50,000 players had purchased their items. During this short period of time, the Auction House had earned over 200,000 Credits from the transaction fees and over 100 Gold from the consignment fees.
The Candlelight Auction House's earning power was even greater than that of Ling Yi City's Auction House.
"Guild Leader, just what kind of tricks did you use in the Purple Thorns Kingdom? This is simply amazing! " A Melancholy Smile said excitedly. "Our Candlelight Auction House has just gained several thousand new members. Not only did we earn 40,000 Magic Crystals, but our Auction Houses in Ling Yi City, Silverwing Town, and Stone Forest Town have also increased our total transaction volume by 30%!"
Previously, the Auction Houses in Ling Yi City, Silverwing Town, and Stone Forest Town had been one of the Ling YI Society's main sources of Credits. Now, however, the three Auction Houses' total transaction volume had increased by 30%. Moreover, this trend was still increasing. In the future, these Auction Houses might even account for half of Ling Yi's Credits.
At that time, she wouldn't have to sell Secret-Silver and Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment to maintain her training base. She might even be able to recruit more internal Guild members.
"Auction House's transaction volume has increased by 30%?" Chuckling, Shifeng said, "It's still early. If development goes smoothly, we should be able to increase our transaction volume by at least 70%. Right, have your people collect as many Phantom Flowers as possible. As long as the price doesn't exceed 5 Silver, buy as many as you can!"
Ordinary Guild Cities couldn't compare to the convenience of Advanced Lands. Even Zero Wing City, which had a player population of over ten million, was no exception. After all, there wasn't a second Guild Auction House in an NPC town in the Purple Thorns Kingdom yet. Now, Glory Town's Auction House would attract a large number of players to the Purple Thorns Kingdom. At this rate, Glory Town's player traffic would most likely surpass Zero Wing City's.
When A Melancholy Smile heard Shifeng say that their transaction volume would increase by at least 70%, she was momentarily stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. If they could increase their transaction volume by that much, they wouldn't have to worry about the training base's operating costs.
"Phantom Flowers? Then, I'll have my people purchase them through the Secret Chamber of Commerce's channels, "A Melancholy Smile said, nodding.
"No! We can't purchase Phantom Flowers through the Secret Chamber of Commerce. Doing so will only attract the attention of certain people. Have your people purchase Phantom Flowers in the various kingdoms and empires in secret. Try not to affect the market price as much as possible, "Shifeng said.
Although there was nothing special about the Mirage Flower, if Zero Wing purchased a large number of Mirage Flowers from the Secret Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely attract the Secret Pavilion's attention. At that time, it might affect his stockpiling of Mirage Flowers. He wasn't willing to take such a risk.
"I understand. I'll have my people purchase them in secret," Shi Feng said, nodding. A Melancholy Smile understood Shifeng's intentions. She then disconnected the call and began to make the necessary arrangements.
Meanwhile, in a bar a short distance away from the Candlelight Auction House, a group of cloaked players had booked the entire bar and were currently observing the Candlelight Auction House's every move.
"Commander Irontooth, I've already sent people to investigate, but they haven't discovered any secrets related to the Auction House. They only know that Ling Yi has dispatched a group of architects from the Starmoon Kingdom to construct the Auction House on that plot of Land," a Tier 2 Assassin reported. "In addition, Ling Yi has also constructed a Residence in Glory Town. By the looks of it, he intends to recruit members from Glory Town and develop there in the future."
"Ling Yi! He's simply too arrogant! Instead of developing in his Starmoon Kingdom, he first came to the Purple Thorns Kingdom to kill Sin Realm's members. Afterward, he plans to recruit members and develop a Branch Guild in Sin Realm's Purple Thorns Kingdom! He really is looking down on Sin Realm! "Irontooth's eyes burned with rage when he heard his subordinate's report.
"Commander, why don't we kill Ye Feng now?" a Level 58 Tier 2 Ranger suggested.
"No! Let's wait for him to leave Glory Town first! " Irontooth said, shaking his head. "Although Glory Town is only a town, it's a border town. Moreover, he should be aware of the Tracking Mark on him. If he knows that we'll take action against him, he'll definitely stay in an area with a lot of NPCs and have a large number of companions by his side. If we act rashly, we'll end up like Crocodile Breaker.
"What we need to do now is wait! When the tracking mark disappears, Ye Feng will definitely feel that the tracking mark is gone. He will be free and will act boldly. That will be the best time for us to take his life. Go and inform Feather Hunter now and tell him to keep a close eye on Ye Feng! "
"Understood!"
The Tier 3 Tracking Scroll Crocodile Breaker had used was extremely rare and effective. However, the Tracking Scroll had a glaring flaw, which was that players could detect it. Sin Realm, on the other hand, had used the Tracking Scroll to prevent players from noticing it.
In reality, Sin Realm's true trump card had yet to be revealed. Sin Realm had obtained a special Legacy, the Assassins, and nurtured a group of true tracking experts.
The Feather Hunter class was one of the best among the Ranger classes. The Feather Hunter class was a special class that could stare at players without them noticing. The Feather Hunter class was a special class for Rangers. The Tracking Scroll that players had initially used was merely a double trap for the Assassin class to locate players.
While Sin Realm's Feather Hunter secretly monitored the Shifeng, the Shifeng strutted out of the Candlelight Auction House and made his way to the nearby Candlelight Auction House.
Candlelight's construction was complete. The Shop had three floors. The first floor sold commonly used items, the second floor sold precious items made in Candlelight, and the third floor housed workshops and warehouses.
All of the NPC employees in the Shop were present. In addition, the members of the Candlelight Trading Firm in White River City had also arrived. All that was left was for the Shop to open for business.
After the Shifeng entered Candlelight, he left the task of collecting materials to the NPCs with high intelligence, focusing on collecting Phantom Flowers. As for the Guild members, they were tasked with managing the Shop's sales and production. That way, they wouldn't expose Candlelight's true purpose in Glory Town.
"It's about time to head to the Icefire Mountain Range." After the Shifeng had taken care of everything in Glory Town, he took a look at his screen and noticed that the Tracking Mark had disappeared. He then donned his Black Cloak and secretly left the town, riding his Mount toward a neutral map.
As soon as the Shifeng left Glory Town, Feather Hunter contacted Irontooth.
"Commander Irontooth, Ye Feng has secretly left Glory Town!" Feather Hunter reported when he saw a red dot on the system map.
