Night fell once more in God's Domain. Meanwhile, White River City was brightly lit.
After nightfall, aside from a small number of experts and elite teams grinding in the fields, the majority of players could only return to the city to rest.
Meanwhile, White River City was extraordinarily lively. However, the most popular place in the city was Candlelight.
Candlelight's Basic Strengthened Armor Kits were the reason for White River City's popularity.
Although the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits were not as good as the Basic Mana Armor Kits, the supply of Basic Mana Armor Kits was simply too limited. It could not compare to Candlelight's daily supply of Basic Mana Armor Kits.
Currently, in a high-class bar not far from Candlelight …
Feng Xuanyang sat on the second-floor balcony, a smile on his face as he looked down at Candlelight.
"I want to see how long you can last," Feng Xuanyang laughed proudly.
Originally, Feng Xuanyang had been somewhat worried that the Candlelight Trading Firm's business would continue to flourish and that it would be difficult to deal with them in the future. However, in the process of poaching the Candlelight Trading Firm, he suddenly discovered a secret.
It was also Candlelight's fatal flaw.
There were only three people who could produce the Basic Strengthening Armor Kits.
It was impossible for these three people to satisfy the demand of all of White River City's players. Even if they could satisfy the demand after a long time, players would no longer need the kits by then.
Hence, Feng Xuanyang had decided to spend a large amount of money to purchase the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. Moreover, he had bought as many as he could.
Firstly, he wanted to quickly deplete Candlelight's inventory. As long as he ran out of Basic Strengthened Armor Kits, Candlelight's popularity would decrease. This would greatly restrict the Guild's growth. Although he had invested quite a lot of Coins, the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits were not completely useless. They would be of great help when raiding Team Dungeons.
With the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits, a team that was only one point away from clearing a Team Dungeon. As a result, they had obtained some good equipment, which would greatly improve their Guild.
Secondly, aside from working hard to establish their Guild Residences, the various large Guilds in Star-Moon City were also saving money to purchase golden Lands. They were also raiding large-scale Dungeons to increase their Guild Popularity and equipment. Meanwhile, saving money to purchase golden Lands required a large number of Coins.
Meanwhile, aside from using the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits on his own team, Feng Xuanyang also sold a portion of them to other cities.
The other cities did not have Candlelight or Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. Due to Underworld's connections, Shi Feng could sell the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits to the various large Guilds in other cities. When these Guilds saw these Basic Strengthened Armor Kits, they would fight over them like madmen. Just by reselling the kits, Shi Feng had earned a lot of money.
Feng Xuanyang's actions had killed two birds with one stone. Not only had he used up Candlelight's stockpile of armor kits, but he had also earned quite a bit from selling them. How could he not be happy?
However, at the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of how terrifying Candlelight was.
Fortunately, Candlelight was only available in White River City. Fortunately, there were only three forgers capable of producing the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. If Candlelight could solve these problems, it could easily occupy the entire Starmoon Kingdom's market. At that time, in the Starmoon Kingdom's trade market … Who could possibly be a match for Candlelight then?
Thinking up to this point, Feng Xuanyang could not help but feel jealous.
"Why isn't Candlelight mine?" Feng Xuanyang inwardly cursed A Melancholy Smile.
If Candlelight had agreed to cooperate with him, then Candlelight would have been his. At that time, he would have gained control of Candlelight and earned a lot of Coins. His position in Underworld would also rise. At that time, the upper echelons of Underworld would have to give him face.
"Hmph. Do you think that I can't do anything to you if you don't sell it to me? I will definitely get my hands on it! " Feng Xuanyang could already imagine the moment he gained control of Candlelight. At that time, all of Underworld's forces in the Starmoon Kingdom would fall under his control. Dealing with a small Battle Guild like Ling Yi would be a piece of cake.
Just as Feng Xuanyang was savoring the wine of victory, a slightly plump middle-aged man in luxurious clothes sat beside Feng Xuanyang.
"Young Master Feng, may I know why you called me here?" Although the middle-aged man was only Level 10, just enough to enter the city, he exuded an astute aura. His slightly narrowed eyes, in particular, contained a glint.
"How is the matter I asked you to handle coming along?" Feng Xuanyang asked in a soft voice.
"Young Master Feng, rest assured. I have already spoken with many members of Candlelight. Although we have only managed to poach a dozen or so Advanced Forging Apprentices, many of them are willing to join us. I believe that before long, even more Advanced Forging Apprentices will be willing to join us. At that time, Candlelight's products will run out of stock to a certain extent. At that time, their popularity will drop, and it will be much easier to poach them. At that time, they won't have anyone to craft items. Even if they have a good shop and Basic Armor Kits, they won't be able to develop," the middle-aged man said with a grin as he raised his eyebrows.
"Good, you've done well. As long as you complete this matter, you will receive many benefits," Feng Xuanyang nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile, inside Candlelight's Forging Room, A Melancholy Smile frowned.
Just a moment ago, several Advanced Forging Apprentices had requested to terminate their contracts. Moreover, these Advanced Forging Apprentices all possessed rare forging designs.
Although these Advanced Forging Apprentices would have to pay more than ten times the compensation, it would be a massive loss to Candlelight. It wouldn't be easy to obtain these rare forging designs again. Without these products, how would the Guild continue to retain customers?
"Damn it. I never thought that I would nurture so many ingrates. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have allowed these people to learn these rare forging designs." A Melancholy Smile gnashed her teeth. She regretted putting these Advanced Forging Apprentices in an important position and providing them with rare forging designs to help them become Advanced Forging Apprentices sooner.
At this moment, Shifeng suddenly opened the door and entered the Forging Room. However, Shifeng's movements were silent, and A Melancholy Smile did not sense his presence at all. Only when Shifeng appeared before A Melancholy Smile did the Guild Leader notice him.
"Guild Leader!" A Melancholy Smile exclaimed. "Why are you here?"
"Look at you. Have you encountered some kind of trouble?" Shifeng asked, smiling.
At this moment, Shi Feng was indescribably happy. He had just snatched the God Crystal from the Mythic monster, the Beast King Tresik, and escaped with his life. He had even rushed back to White River City without stopping to rest, afraid that the Beast King would catch up to him and kill him. Now that he had returned to White River City, even if the Beast King possessed heaven-defying abilities, it would be impossible for it to attack White River City.
Now that he saw A Melancholy Smile's crescent brows furrowed, her heart filled with worry, how could he, as the former Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild, not see through her?
"Guild Leader, I am useless. I have failed to live up to your trust and nurtured so many ingrates." A Melancholy Smile's eyes were filled with regret. Shifeng had entrusted those rare forging designs to her, one after another. Moreover, he had repeatedly emphasized that they should be passed on to someone trustworthy. In the end …
Hearing A Melancholy Smile's explanation, Shifeng could not help but laugh.
"So, it's because of this matter!"
