Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Guild Merchant
“Cough cough, Sea Monster, are you buying or not?”
“No way, what kind of ridiculous thing is this? I won’t buy. Who are you threatening? Our guild needs to buy his info? Joking.”
“Exactly, he thinks too highly of himself, as if without his strategies we couldn’t nail the first kill.”
“President Ran is totally right, they just have a temporary lead.”
“Exactly, this dungeon is so difficult, they might be stuck somewhere. To believe they could easily snag the first kill is a joke.”
“I’d give him three words, ‘He He’.”
“President Wan, that’s only two words.”
“Three words would give him too much face.”
…
Boundless Sky shook his head and left the chat channel as well.
Li Yao went back to town, directly to the mailbox near the guild entrance, even before he got there, a flurry of email notifications came in.
Li Yao opened the mailbox, counted, and found out that every guild from the chat group had sent him emails.
Li Yao had expected this result, it didn’t surprise him at all, he began sending the edited video.
Li Yao deleted anything related to his pet from the footage, although many guilds had their suspicions, it’s a different thing when it was confirmed.
He then sent a copy of his plan on how to clear the six outposts to Boundless Sky.
“Thanks, bro, but we’re not giving up on the first kill. You’re basically aiding the enemy,” Boundless Sky said.
“You wouldn’t understand how lonely it is at the top, it’s more fun this way, isn’t it?” Li Yao laughed, “But honestly, even with my strategies, you still won’t get the first kill. They really lost out on these hundred Gold Coins.”
“Stop dreaming. Are you short of money?” Boundless Sky was speechless.
“Ha, you got me, Sea Bro. The money from last time is almost gone, this batch comes just in time.” Li Yao laughed.
“You’re really wicked. With your capabilities, you have numerous ways to make money. You’re just trying to infuriate others intentionally. You have no idea how much people hate and fear Starfire. You’re so good at using enemy funds to strengthen Starfire, I don’t know what to say to you,” Boundless Sky was left speechless, this guy was really troublesome.
“That makes it more interesting, they can hate me, they can come bite me, anytime. But if their teeth aren’t sturdy enough and they break a few, don’t blame me,” Li Yao finally sent out the last email.
“Forget it, I won’t argue with you. I’m starting my raid now. Let me know where you guys are at,” Boundless Sky asked at the end.
“Guess,” Li Yao terminated the call immediately after.
Then Li Yao arrived at the guild. As always, Sister Li was already online, handling guild affairs.
“Are you sure there’s no issue doing this?” Sister Li asked with concern.
“What issue? Don’t worry, even if they know our tactics they’ll need plenty of time to catch up. More importantly, we won’t stupidly wait for them to catch up before moving on” Li Yao deposited ten thousand Gold Coins into the guild vault, leaving a thousand or two for himself.
Instantly, the balance of Starfire Guild broke the ten-thousand mark again, drawing attention on the forum. And many guilds realized that they had all bought Li Yao’s video.
“This dungeon is super creepy, I’m worried we’ll get stuck,” Sister Li voiced her concern.
“Have faith in ourselves,” Li Yao couldn’t say ‘Relax, I don’t remember clearly, but I roughly remember how it went. It may take time to break through, but we won’t get stuck.’
“Alright. It’s also a good thing. Our financial situation is very good now. How do you plan to allocate these gold coins? If you just leave them there, they will depreciate,” Sister Li was worried about the money going to waste. Only when the money flows can it work its magic.
Li Yao sat down and said, “We can only improve the guild perks and make our guild base more luxurious. After all, we’re not short of money now, so don’t be afraid to spend.”
“No, the guild benefits are already at their best, upgrading the benefits doesn’t make sense. As for the guild base, our budget is enough, even if we spend more, it won’t take up that much. Trust my budget and judgement,” Sister Li said seriously.
Li Yao shrugged, “I don’t know then, any brilliant ideas?”
Now Li Yao lacked nothing, having more money was pointless.
“Let’s trade goods. I think we should recruit players who have a knack for business to help us manage,” Sister Li pondered and said.
“Trading goods, we don’t have time for that, and Feng Yi probably doesn’t excel at it as well. Besides, it’s hard to say with other people. If we encounter swindlers, we’re done,” Li Yao was absolutely not exaggerating.
If we find a greedy person, the profits and risks inside can be too large.
Sister Li frowned, “I do have two suitable candidates, one is my friend, the other is within our guild.”
“If it’s your friend in real life, then it’s somewhat reliable,” Li Yao pondered, “Who is it in the guild?”
In reality, she was one of my assistants, but she had to quit due to family issues. Besides work, she has also been a small businessman in many games. After hearing that I joined Starfire, she joined as well, but she is only in the peripheral now,” Sister Li explained, “The other one is a life player, a friend of Candy, named Gold Coin. She chose Alchemy and as far as I know, she also trades goods privately. I’ve observed her for a while, she has good judgment, but just lacks capital.”
“Um, give it a try if you think she’s reliable. It’s just some small capital, we can earn more if we lose it,” Li Yao said nonchalantly.
He could earn gold coins in a plethora of ways, but it’s unnecessary. If they can nurture two merchants, that’s excellent. A stable source of revenue is the best state for the guild.
“Only you can take ten thousand Gold Coins lightly. Don’t worry, it’s not easy to pull the wool over my eyes. We have contracts. We can convert part of the credit into club construction and framework. Qi Ji’s work is also starting, she’s asking for money,” Sister Li said.
“Alright, give it to Feng Yi, let her do the conversion,” Li Yao didn’t bother with these things anymore.
“Okay, you should take a break too, the raid starts in two or three hours,” Sister Li said before returning to her guild work.
Li Yao nodded, sat down at the side and started watching the video of Shadow Dance Spotlight. He needed to understand the situation as well to decide how to defeat the second boss…
