The appearance of the Intermediate Mana Armor Kit immediately caused a frenzy. ¥f,
News of Candlelight's appearance spread like a virus. In a short dozen or so minutes, the craze that had died down surged once more. The players were even more frenzied than before.
The Light Stone was only a common item. Although it was of great help to players, it did not increase a player's strength. It was a support item. However, the Intermediate Mana Armor Kit was different. It was a genuine item that could increase a player's Attributes. Moreover, the increase was significant.
Many elite parties and teams outside of the city immediately returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm to purchase the Basic Mana Armor Kits. If they were too late, others would snatch them up. Take the Basic Mana Armor Kits for example. At this stage of the game, the Basic Mana Armor Kits had already become legends.
According to the legends, many players had become experts after obtaining the Basic Mana Armor Kit. Some ordinary teams had also become top-tier teams. They could even challenge Hard Mode Team Dungeons and even Hell Mode Team Dungeons. However, Hell Mode Team Dungeons were limited to 10-man Team Dungeons.
To the majority of independent players, 20-man Team Dungeons were simply too difficult. The equipment and techniques required to complete these Dungeons were simply too high. Only a small number of Guild elite teams could complete these Dungeons.
"Leader, I've just received news that the Intermediate Mana Armor Kit costs 5 Gold each. Even if we wanted to buy it, we couldn't afford it!"
"It is indeed expensive. However, we still have to buy it. Even if we have to borrow money, we still have to buy it. The last time I missed out on the Basic Mana Armor Kit, I regretted it for a long time. It's not like you don't know about Team Dungeons. Oftentimes, we're just short of a little bit of damage and Defense to clear the Dungeon. Unfortunately, we can't upgrade our equipment. In the end, some lucky teams managed to buy three Basic Mana Armor Kits, and they managed to clear the Dungeon."
"Right now, one Intermediate Mana Armor Kit is worth three Basic Mana Armor Kits. As long as our MTs equip three kits, we'll clear the Dungeon. At that time, won't we be able to earn back the money we spent?"
…
Many independent teams in the field began to take action. Those that could gather money began to do so. Those that could afford it headed to the Virtual Trade Center to purchase Gold Coins.
For an elite team, collecting 5 Gold Coins was relatively easy. However, collecting 15 Gold Coins would be a challenge. Even so, the Guild's members had no choice but to accept the challenge. Even so, they still had to grit their teeth and fork out 15 Gold.
After all, an additional piece of Level 25 Dark-Gold Equipment was a huge boost to an MT.
Normally, a 20-man Common Team Dungeon would only drop some Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Even if one were heaven-defying, they would only drop Secret-Silver Equipment. Meanwhile, in a Team Dungeon, there would only be three or four waves of SS, and each wave would only drop two or three pieces of equipment. On average, they would drop around ten pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Including the money and items dropped by the monsters, the profit from a single Normal Team Dungeon was around 4 to 5 Gold Coins.
After deducting the team's various consumption and EXP losses, they would not be able to earn much.
What's more, it had to be divided among twenty people, so each person would earn even less.
However, the profits from Hard Mode Team Dungeons had increased by a large margin. The SS monsters would almost certainly drop at least one or two pieces of Secret-Silver Equipment. Even the mobs had a chance of dropping Mysterious-Iron Equipment. Even better, only Hard Mode Team Dungeons would drop some necessary materials. Adding up all the income from these Dungeons, Shi Feng could earn at least 10 Gold Coins per Dungeon run. The profit was more than twice that of the Normal Instance Dungeon.
This made many independent teams extremely envious. Raiding a Normal Dungeon was only enough to fill their stomachs. However, raiding a Hard Mode Team Dungeon was a different story.
Every time in a bar, there would always be some powerful teams that would reserve the bar to celebrate their success in raiding a Hard Mode Team Dungeon.
Now that everyone had such an opportunity, they would naturally go all out.
For a time, the entire Candlelight was crowded with players. However, the majority of these players were only here to reserve a spot.
That's right, they were here to reserve a spot.
This was because the various teams behind these players were pooling money. As long as they had enough money, they would immediately purchase the kits. They were deeply afraid that others would snatch them up.
Very few independent players could afford the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits. However, to Guild players, it was not a big deal. A single Shop could easily sell over a thousand Gold Coins. Equipping a full set of Intermediate Mana Armor Kits for a Guild's main force would only cost 300 Gold. With just 300 Gold, a Guild's main force would rise to a whole new level. What else could be cheaper than this?
Every large Guild that received news of the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits immediately rushed to Candlelight to purchase the kits. Moreover, every one of these Guilds was very ambitious.
"What did you say?! Why aren't you selling them to me?! " A Guild buyer bellowed furiously. "Take a good look! I don't lack money here!"
"Sir. I'm sorry, but due to the shortage of the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits, we are selling them in limited quantities. Ordinary players can only purchase one kit at a time. Since you are purchasing for your Guild, you can purchase up to nine kits. If you are a Guild that cooperates with Candlelight, you can purchase up to two kits at a time. The beautiful saleswoman smiled faintly, not at all affected by the player before her.
"Damn it! I'll buy nine kits first, then!" The Guild buyer had no other choice. He was not a Guild that cooperated with Candlelight. Hence, he had no choice but to purchase nine kits first. When the time came, he would have others purchase the kits. Only, he would have to spend a lot of time as there were simply too many players coming to purchase the kits.
This was all because there were simply too many people purchasing the kits. Although Candlelight had only opened Shops in a few cities, when players and Guilds in other cities received news of the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits, they all rushed to Candlelight's cities to purchase the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits.
Among these players, the majority came to White River City.
As Candlelight's Shop in White River City sold the most kits every day, it was practically the sum of all the other Shops' sales. Hence, players and Guild buyers from other major cities came to White River City to purchase the kits.
Moreover, Shifeng had purposely instructed A Melancholy Smile to increase the population of White River City, letting others discover the uniqueness of White River City. This way, some players would consider developing in White River City. After all, White River City was more convenient. Unknowingly, it would increase the Ling YI Society's strength.
At this moment, the Guilds that had cooperated with Candlelight before were all grinning from ear to ear. Previously, they had felt that they had suffered a huge loss. Now, however, the various large Guilds were envious of them. They could purchase 21 kits at a time.
Right now, the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits were priceless. On the black market, the kits sold for over 8 Gold Coins. Moreover, the price was still rising. Yet, nobody was willing to sell the kits. This was all due to the purchase limit. Under the system's supervision, each player could only purchase one kit at a time. Nobody wanted to waste this precious opportunity, so how could they sell the kits so easily?
Just as many Guilds were scrambling to purchase the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits, Overwhelming Smile's Guild Residence in White River City was deathly silent.
Inside the meeting room, the veins on Feng Xuanyang's forehead squirmed, and he felt as if they would explode at any moment.
Boom! Boom!
Feng Xuanyang fiercely smashed the wooden table a few times in a row, smashing it into pieces.
"Young Master Feng, you need to calm down!"
"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down? "
Feng Xuanyang's eyes were bloodshot. If possible, Feng Xuanyang really wanted to swallow Candlelight whole.
In order to collect a large number of Light Stones, he had invested another 100 million Credits. His goal was to earn back the 50 million he had lost. In addition, he had also used up all of the Overwhelming Trading Firm's funds. Now, however, he had bought a bunch of products that would not have a purchase limit. The most despicable part was that, after receiving news of Candlelight's actions, the upper echelons had immediately issued a death order, ordering him to purchase 300 Intermediate Mana Armor Kits no matter what.
However, where was he supposed to find so many Gold Coins?
