After A Melancholy Smile finished speaking … Rustle! Rustle!
After some time, everyone in the meeting room finally recovered from their shock. They then turned to look at Youlan, who wore an astonished expression.
Youlan had never imagined that such a situation would occur.
A Melancholy Smile's performance had completely exceeded her expectations. Youlan's resolute attitude was even more out of the ordinary.
"Miss Smile, you might have misunderstood." After calming down, Youlan slowly said, "Overwhelming Smile is not here to discuss a partnership, but to invest in Candlelight. I believe that Miss Smile is aware of Overwhelming Smile's financial strength. As long as you have Overwhelming Smile's help, Candlelight will not have any problems obtaining materials or funds.
"After all, Candlelight is not a Combat Guild. Its development is limited by the city's restrictions. You might be able to become the number one trading firm in White River City, but it is impossible for you to not expand to other cities. After all, White River City's player population is limited. The amount of money you can earn is also limited.
"I admit that Candlelight is very rich. However, purchasing golden Lands in other cities requires a sufficient amount of Reputation. How can Candlelight compare to a Guild that has been developing in other cities since the beginning? By the time your trading firm's members have earned enough Reputation in other cities, other Guilds will have long since purchased those golden Lands.
"However, after we invest in your trading firm, you will no longer have this restriction. Overwhelming Smile already has plenty of manpower in various major cities. As long as we have enough Coins, we can even purchase the golden Lands in every city in the Starmoon Kingdom, not to mention the few cities around White River City. Candlelight will then be able to expand throughout the Starmoon Kingdom. Your trading firm will also not have to waste a lot of time and manpower on this aspect.
"Is Miss Smile not interested?"
Youlan's words were filled with confidence and tempting conditions. Her words also hit the nail on the head and hit Candlelight's weakness.
Meanwhile, Youlan's confidence in saying such words came from Underworld's Underworld. All of these players had come from Underworld, Overwhelming Smile's backer. This was something no other Guild could accomplish. Not even first-rate Guilds could.
The other Guild upper echelons in the meeting room were similarly tempted. Unfortunately, Candlelight was not theirs.
However, they could already imagine Candlelight's beautiful future. One side had the advantage of manpower, while the other had Coins and hot-selling products. The cooperation between the two was practically flawless.
"Youlan is indeed powerful. As expected of someone that even the Elders of Underworld have set their eyes on." Feng Xuanyang, who was originally angry, also looked at You Lan and praised her in his heart. He glanced at A Melancholy Smile from the corner of his eyes and felt indescribably happy.
For a trading company, especially a trading company with hot-selling products, this was a huge problem. What Candlelight needed the most was never materials, but a market. And it just so happened that Overwhelming Smile was able to provide that. Overwhelming Smile was able to instantly grab hold of Candlelight's weakness. This was far more useful than any threat.
At this moment, A Melancholy Smile said, "The offer is indeed tempting, but you can leave now. The rest of you have 30 minutes to consider. If you don't want to cooperate, you can leave. I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you."
As soon as he finished speaking. A Melancholy Smile left the meeting room without looking back. It was as if he didn't care about them at all.
"Could it be that she's not moved?" Youlan looked at A Melancholy Smile leaving and couldn't help but be astonished.
With such a huge profit, it could be said that no trading company would reject such an offer. Even if they did, it would be because their conditions were too harsh. Yet, before they could even state any conditions, they were rejected …
What was going on?
Before Youlan could figure out what was going on, the upper echelons of the other Guilds had already signed the contract. They no longer discussed the conditions they had previously prepared.
When Youlan saw this scene, she immediately understood the situation.
A Melancholy Smile was trying to establish its might. Killing the chicken to warn the monkey, and they just so happened to be this chicken.
At this moment, Feng Xuanyang also understood the situation. It was all because he had been the first to object, which had led to him being attacked by A Melancholy Smile. This situation infuriated him. However, he also felt some regret. Why had he been so quick to speak up back then?
As for having Overwhelming Smile deal with Candlelight, that was simply impossible. Lifestyle players did not leave the city at all. If they stayed within the city, who could do anything to them?
Even if they killed the other party back to Level 0, Lifestyle players would still have their Lifestyle Skills. They were not like combat players, who relied heavily on Levels and equipment.
"It seems that we can only establish our own trading company as soon as possible." Youlan sighed helplessly. The situation was more troublesome than she had imagined. However, Candlelight had also given her a reminder. "I heard that our Reputation in Maple City is almost there. We might as well develop our trade there first. Moreover, the Lands there are cheaper. If we join forces with the other cities and target Candlelight in trade, we will be able to defeat Candlelight sooner or later."
"Alright, I'll leave that side to you." At this moment, killing intent filled Feng Xuanyang's eyes. Looking at A Melancholy Smile's departing figure, a sneer appeared on his lips. "Since Candlelight is unwilling to cooperate, I don't believe that all of their employees are the same. I'll poach all of their forgers. I want to see just how long Candlelight can last."
If a trading company did not have a supply of goods, they would not attract customers. Even if they occupied a prime location, it would be useless. The reason Candlelight could become the number one trading company in White River City so quickly was entirely due to the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. Otherwise, how could it possibly surpass the Starstreak Trading Firm?
However, just as Feng Xuanyang was discussing how to poach Candlelight's Lifestyle players, the Shifeng had arrived at the Twin Tower Highlands.
The Twin Tower Highlands was a Level 45 to Level 50 map. It could be considered a country within a country. The monsters here were unlike those found in low-level maps. The majority of the monsters here were intelligent Orcs, and they lived and fought in groups. If players were not careful, they could easily become prey for these monsters. To current players of God's Domain, the Twin Tower Highlands was an absolute forbidden land.
However, the Shifeng did not mind this. His own Attributes had long since surpassed the standards of current players.
This was especially true after equipping the Fragmented Legendary ranked Heavenly Dragon's Breath. In terms of Attributes, he could easily rival Level 40 or so ordinary players.
Without the level suppression, a five-level difference in Attributes was nothing to the Shifeng.
The Shifeng were very familiar with the Twin Tower Highlands. Along the way, they did not encounter any monsters. Soon, they arrived at the Twin Tower Highlands' core area, the Towers of Death.
The two towering tops of the Towers of Death were submerged in the black clouds. At a glance, one could not see the top of the Towers of Death. The surroundings were also filled with an aura of death.
Beside the gigantic Towers of Death were tall walls. Orc soldiers snarled their fangs and brandished their claws. The Towers of Death looked like an indestructible fortress.
Meanwhile, this was the best location for the Shifeng to grind for the Light Stone Forging Designs.
"This should be the place."
