After a long time, Gentle Snow sighed softly.
Shifeng could see Gentle Snow's helplessness from the screen. After all, Gentle Snow had spent countless efforts to establish the Guild. It was normal for Gentle Snow to be unable to accept merging with another Guild.
However, he had his own considerations as well.
Even if the two Guilds were allies, they were separated by two cities. Nobody knew what would happen in the future. Whether it was the upper echelons of the Guild or the members of the Guild, they would all be on guard. To avoid unnecessary worries from Ling Yi, the best outcome was to absorb Ouroboros.
It was a comical situation.
A small Guild actually dared to annex a first-rate Guild? Were they not afraid of dying?
However, Shifeng had the confidence and strength to do so.
Ling YI Society currently had many experts. They also had Candlelight's continuous supply of Coins. The Guild was already very rich in Coins. They could easily afford to take over the massive Ouroboros. Moreover, after accepting Ouroboros's channel, Candlelight would be able to earn even more Coins.
In addition, Ouroboros had been operating in the virtual gaming world for many years, and it had accumulated many old customers. These old customers were all very rich and were willing to spend a lot of money in the game. There were even many corporations and companies that sponsored them. Hence, Ouroboros's profits were astonishing.
Ling Yi's Workshop was still in the process of developing customers. If it could obtain Ouroboros's old customers, it could quickly earn a large amount of Credits. It would not be like its current situation, where it did not have a stable income and still had to negotiate with others.
"President Hei Yan, I still need to consider this matter," Gentle Snow calmed down and said. "Since President Hei Yan does not intend to sell Candlelight's shares, can I purchase some Coins from you?"
Although there were many people selling Coins in the virtual trade center, there were only a small number of them. However, the amount of each individual was very small, and when added together, it wasn't a lot. Moreover, the various large Guilds were currently purchasing Coins in bulk. It was practically impossible to purchase a large amount of Coins. They could only rely on their own money-farming teams to maintain the Guild's daily expenses.
"Miss Snow, you should know that the various large Guilds are tight on Coins right now. Selling a small amount of Coins is not a problem. May I know how much do you want?" Shifeng asked.
Although he had spent a lot of money, he earned a considerable income from the Starstreak Trading Firm and Candlelight every day. He had no problems selling one or two thousand Coins.
"I don't want much, just 5,000 Gold." After giving it some thought, Gentle Snow stated a price, "I can pay you 50 million Credits immediately."
Five thousand Gold Coins was more or less enough to stabilize Ouroboros's current situation and establish a Guild Residence. If the Guild members saw hope, it would be even more difficult for Cao Chenghua to bring his men away.
"5,000 Gold? Miss White, you think too highly of me." Shifeng smiled bitterly. "How about this? I can sell you 2,000 Gold Coins at market price. However, I'll need your Ouroboros's manpower to purchase some Lands in the ten largest cities of the Starmoon Kingdom. How about we do all sorts of promotions for Candlelight?"
The value of Gold Coins on the market continued to depreciate. However, one Gold Coin was still worth close to 6,000 Credits. He could purchase a piece of Level 25 Mysterious-Iron Equipment or Level 20 Secret-Silver Equipment.
Gentle Snow was willing to offer 50 million Credits. It was much higher than the market price. However, even if she had 50 million Credits on hand right now, she would not be able to do so. Not even 4,000 Gold was possible. Otherwise, the various major corporations would have long since bought up all the Lands in the major cities.
One could say that Gold Coins were at their most valuable right now. By purchasing good Lands early, one could earn back ten times or even dozens of times their initial investment in the future. Naturally, these major corporations would spare no expense to invest Credits. Unfortunately, such a thing was impossible.
"Two thousand Gold?" Gentle Snow was stunned when she heard Shi Feng's offer. Hearing this, Gentle Snow was shocked.
Previously, when she had asked for 5,000 Gold, she had only been joking. She had wanted to see Ling Yi's bottom line. In the entire God's Domain, no Guild could possibly take out 5,000 Gold. Yet, Shifeng had offered 2,000 Gold.
Two thousand Gold!
She had worked hard for so many days, continuously purchasing large amounts of Gold Coins. She had relied on the Guild's money-farming team and her trusted subordinates to raise so much money. Yet, despite buying so many golden Lands, Shifeng could still take out 2,000 Gold.
His financial strength was simply invincible …
"What? Is it not enough?" After giving it some thought, Shifeng said, "At most, I can offer 3,000 Gold. If it's still not enough, you'll have to think of other ways."
Gentle Snow had helped him many times in the past. Naturally, he would not kick her while she was down. However, he would only help her within his means.
Although he still had a lot of money, he still needed to purchase Lands and open Shops in other cities. He also needed to leave some money for the Guild's emergency.
"Thank you. I'll transfer the money to you right away." Gentle Snow was overjoyed. With 3,000 Gold Coins, in addition to the 2,000 Gold Coins she currently had, she would have more than enough to purchase a plot of Land and establish a Guild Residence. With this, it would be even more difficult for Cao Chenghua to secretly split the Guild.
Following which, Shifeng sold the 3,000 Gold to Gentle Snow through the virtual trade center. He then teleported to Maple City.
Maple City was a major city in the eastern region of the Starmoon Kingdom. The city's player population was close to a million. This was also why so many people had high hopes for Overwhelming Smile.
Throughout Maple City, aside from a few scattered small Guilds, Overwhelming Smile was the only large Guild in the city. Overwhelming Smile had eliminated the other large Guilds and chased them away to develop elsewhere. Overwhelming Smile was practically impregnable. Other Guilds would have a hard time trying to cause any trouble in Maple City.
At this moment, Shifeng walked through the streets of Maple City. Many of the players on the streets were members of Overwhelming Smile. Every one of them radiated an aura of arrogance. The members of other Guilds could only hide from them.
"Overwhelming Smile has opened a trading firm in Maple City. The Shop is called the Overwhelming Trading Firm. It is located in the city's central district. The items there are much cheaper than in NPC Shops. Moreover, there are many items that are not available in NPC Shops. If anyone is interested, please visit the Shop.
Feel free to visit. "Many of Overwhelming Smile's members were promoting the Overwhelming Trading Firm on the streets. The advertisements were so overwhelming that many players were curious to take a look.
After all, a player-run Shop was much better than an NPC Shop. It was especially true for items like Whetstones. Normally, players would have to beg some Forging Apprentices to exchange for them. Unlike White River City's Starstreak Trading Firm, which was run by Shifeng, players could purchase items that were not available in NPC Shops.
"It really is a one-man show. Unfortunately, this is the only time." Shifeng sat under a pavilion, sipping on fine wine while admiring the bustling central street.
A moment later, a middle-aged man in his forties walked up to Shifeng. Very respectfully, he said, "Greetings, President Hei Yan. My name is Liang Chen. President White sent me here. I have brought the purchase agreement that you requested. Please take a look."
