Upon hearing Gentle Snow's suggestion, the Elders in the meeting room fell silent.
They had never imagined that Gentle Snow would be so decisive as to use the materials the Guild had painstakingly accumulated. This would deal significant damage to Ouroboros. It was the equivalent of tearing down the east wall to pay the west wall. It would not solve the fundamental problem.
However, if Ouroboros could obtain enough funds to make up for the sudden shortage of funds, they might be able to hold their own against the rich and powerful Blackwater Corporation. Moreover, just as Gentle Snow had said, if Ouroboros could obtain a few towns in a short time, allowing Ouroboros, which had always been in a state of squandering money, to enter a state of profit, the several major corporations would definitely hold on to Ouroboros.
Captured towns in God's Domain were different from NPC cities. Players could construct their own towns on a large plot of land without the many restrictions found in NPC cities. Moreover, the cost of constructing a town in God's Domain was far lower than constructing houses in NPC cities.
Most importantly, the items that could be sold in towns were no longer limited. Players could only sell items in God's Domain in Shops. They could also sell items that did not exist in God's Domain, such as fashion items.
Unlike weapons and equipment in God's Domain, fashion items did not have any Attributes. At the same time, they could only be worn within a player's territory. They were not allowed to be worn in the fields or NPC cities.
Moreover, designing fashion items that players could use in God's Domain was not an easy task. Although it was not as troublesome as tailoring, leather-making, and forging equipment with Attributes, and any Apprentice player could produce such items, the materials required could only be found in God's Domain. It was not easy to find suitable materials to produce good-looking fashion items.
In addition, the currency required was different. In player-controlled towns, players could choose their own currency for the items they sold. They could use Coins in God's Domain or Credits in the real world.
Take Starmoon Kingdom's Stone Forest Town for example. As the first town to be captured in the Starmoon Kingdom, the town had already grown considerably. The number of players living in Stone Forest Town had also increased by the day. The only problem was that the town was not safe. The monsters in the town were too high-level. Low-level players, who only wanted to enjoy their daily lives, could not enter the town.
Of course, if there was something as convenient as a teleportation circle in the future, he could construct it in an NPC city. This way, even low-level players would be able to enter the town and enjoy the leisurely entertainment that NPC cities didn't have.
Even so, there were still many corporations that wanted to cooperate with the Ling YI Society, especially those in the apparel industry. They couldn't wait to send their credits to the Ling YI Society, but for some reason, the Ling YI Society was unwilling to cooperate with them. Instead, they had been building all kinds of hotels, blacksmiths, bars, and other buildings. They had almost filled up the entire town …
Seeing a large number of players flocking to these places every day, many companies were so angry that they scolded the Ling YI Society for being crazy. They didn't even dare to take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
"We'll contact our superiors right away. As for whether they are willing to take the risk, we can't be certain," the several Elders representing the various companies said, nodding. They then left God's Domain.
Hearing the Grand Elders' words, the Guild's upper echelons relaxed.
…
Inside Star-Moon City's Divine Colosseum, a large number of Level 10-plus and Level 20-plus players entered and exited the Trial Tower. Although these players' levels and equipment weren't particularly impressive, when they saw the number of floors they had cleared, they would definitely be shocked.
Even the weakest of these players had already cleared the Trial Tower's fifth floor and set foot on the sixth floor.
"Brother Wave, the people Young Master Jing sent are really amazing. Their improvement speed is simply ridiculous. I'm afraid that it won't be long before a large number of them surpass me," a tall Level 39 Ranger said, smiling bitterly as he looked at Abandoned Wave beside him.
After all was said and done, he was a well-known expert in the virtual gaming world. Originally, he had thought that he would have an easy time training these newcomers.
However, when he had first come into contact with these people, he had sensed a dense killing intent and hostility radiating from them. These people's auras did not belong to ordinary players at all. It was obvious that these people were experts who had been honed in combat for a long time. When he had first met a few of them, he had struggled to suppress them.
Now, however, these newcomers had long since surpassed him, a well-known expert in the game. They had reached the realm he had always dreamed of.
"This is all thanks to your guidance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have grasped God's Domain's combat foundations so quickly. There will be more newcomers coming soon. At that time, I'll have to trouble you." Abandoned Wave was very satisfied with the batch of newcomers entering the Trial Tower. Now, as long as he raised these people's levels, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to conquer the Starmoon Kingdom.
In reality, he had never imagined that God's Domain's virtual combat standards would be so high. It was practically no different from real-life combat. Only, the way players released their Skills and used them, as well as their physiques that surpassed ordinary people, was something that absolutely did not exist in the real world.
To the Blackwater Consortium, this was their greatest advantage. After all, the Blackwater Consortium was a colossus in the fighting world. In terms of the number of actual combat experts and the location to nurture them, there was no better place than the Blackwater Consortium.
Unlike other corporations, which struggled to nurture their own God's Domain experts, the Blackwater Consortium was a piece of cake. All they needed to do was properly adapt to this combat style.
"Big Brother Wave, there's news from Ouroboros. It seems that Gentle Snow intends to use the Guild's collected materials to make up for the lack of funds for those companies. Moreover, someone in White River City has already purchased all of Ouroboros's rare herbs and ores. Should we stop Gentle Snow's actions?" a bald, robust man hurriedly walked up to Abandoned Wave and whispered.
"Hahaha! This Gentle Snow is really interesting. It seems that not only is she a great beauty, but she is also a very courageous beauty. I really can't bear to chase her away." Abandoned Wave could not help but laugh. "Unfortunately, her actions are futile. She has no idea how powerful the Blackwater Consortium is. She also doesn't know the true intentions of those companies."
"Gentle Snow owns a lot of Ouroboros's shares. Even if those companies put pressure on her, they can't stop her from selling the materials. However, we can't let her do as she pleases, either. Notify Gale and the others immediately. Warn that person who purchased the materials. I don't want to see all of Ouroboros's raw materials sold out after taking over."
"Understood!"
After Abandoned Wave finished speaking, the bald man immediately left the Divine Colosseum.
