Chapter 980: Monopolise the Market
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, at that mont, the great City Lord of Twilight City, Wang Yu, was sitting in the backyard of his residence with Quan Zhen Sect, splitting their gains.
In this Qingming event, Quan Zhen Sect was the greatest winner. Other than all the fragnts they found in Twilight City, most of the fragnts from the neighbouring four main cities were also in Quan Zhen Sect’s hands. In total, Quan Zhen Sect gained close to four thousand cape fragnts.
Amongst them, there were 750 pieces of all-purpose cape fragnts.
Quan Zhen Sect had a total of eleven fighters. In addition to the six back-up players, they had a total of seventeen people. After subtracting away Wang Yu who already had a god-grade cape, most of these fragnts would be leftover even after equipping the entire Quan Zhen Sect.
Individual fragnt pieces were of no use. They would only be effective after they were exchanged into capes.
Now that the event had ended, players would definitely start trading and buying fragnts. Under the circumstance that fragnts were rare, their prices would skyrocket.
Looking at the mountain of cape fragnts stacked on the table, Wang Yu and the rest’s feelings were understandable... These were not fragnts, these were bright, shimring gold in their eyes.
Vainglory looked at the table full of fragnts and emotionally said, “Damn, we are going to strike rich... Let’s hurry to sell them while everyone is looking to buy them.”
“Young man, don’t be so impatient!” Fearless laughed and said, “Of course we will sell them but there’s no rush...”
“Oh? What good idea do you have?” Looking at how Fearless was so calm, Wang Yu rose his eyebrows.
Based on Wang Yu’s understanding of Fearless, once he spoke like this, he had a burning secret to share.
Fearless said, “You guys will find out later.”
Just then, in a flash of white light, Frost Blade happily ca online and upon seeing the fragnts on the table, he was first in shock then he proceeded to sit opposite Fearless.
“So? How is the thing I asked you to do?” Fearless asked Frost Blade.
“Done!” Frost Blade gave Fearless an OK hand sign and said, “Now on the forum, the price of a Pugilist cape fragnt has already been speculated to 900 gold coins. Assassin and Warrior cape fragnts are at 1600 gold coins!”
Having the least sought after job was not completely bad after all; at least the price of equipnt was a lot cheaper.
“F*ck, for real, were you referring to the cape or the fragnts?” Everyone was in shock after hearing what Frost Blade said.
At the mont, gold-grade equipnt were worth around a thousand gold coins but now, just one piece of fragnt had been speculated to such a price point. Was everybody insane?
Frost Blade smiled and said, “Of course it’s the fragnts! Don’t forget that the capes are the rarest obsidian equipnt...”
“What...” Hearing what Frost Blade said, everyone finally understood him.
At the mont, obsidian equipnt were worth ten thousand gold coins each. As a rare obsidian equipnt and have the special ability to fly, the capes were the rarest amongst the rare. Hence, it was reasonable that their prices have skyrocketed by five tis.
“Hehe... Seems like we are going to strike real rich...” Everyone looked even more excited.
Fearless heard them then rebutted this bunch of disappointing guys after looking at them with despise, “You call this striking rich? You guys are really short-sighted...”
“What? Can you make the prices of the fragnts double again?” Everyone shot back at him.
However, Fearless nodded and said, “Can! And we won’t just earn from these.”
“Damn! For real?”
Hearing what Fearless said, everyone was stunned.
At this point, these fragnts were already worth a sky-high price and yet, Fearless wanted to double the amount. They knew Fearless was smart but this was still unbelievable.
Just then Wang Yu thought for a bit and asked, “Are you trying to monopolise the market?”
Fearless’ expression made Wang Yu think of Evil Rampage. Why was Evil Rampage the richest guy in ? It was because he monopolised markets, having ownership of the most profitable markets in the ga like mining.
It can be seen that in this fictitious world, one can only secure gains through monopolising market resources...
“Haha!” Fearless heard him and gave him a thumbs-up, “Old Bull is indeed from a prestigious family. You naturally have the brain for business. Yes, since we have this advantage now, we will monopolise the market.”
“Yup!” Frost Blade also nodded and said, “Just now I went to all the main cities’ forum to post requests to buy fragnts.”
“Erm...” Spring Halo gave it so deep thought and said, “The ga has so many people, we are definitely not the only ones buying. How can we monopolise the market?”
Not only was Quan Zhen Sect’s wealth unable to compete with larger guilds for resources, even selling players had a principle of selling close...
Quan Zhen Sect’s reputation in Twilight City could help them but elsewhere, they were barely heard of and could not compete with the larger guilds in other main cities in terms of influence. Hence, even if they posted notifications, it might not be helpful.
Fearless chuckled and said, “Hehe, the news on the forums are just to create so noise to distract them. We just need to monopolise Twilight City’s resources...”
“Twilight City? Damn! Fearless, you are really an old sly fox.” Hearing what Fearless just said, everyone understood everything.
In the event, every Twilight City’s player definitely earned sothing. As Wang Yu was Twilight City’s City Lord, everyday, every single person was guaranteed a fragnt.
Twilight City had three hundred thousand odd people and in those three days, Twilight City took a summable million fragnts.
In the other 299 main cities of the ga, the total fragnts they got were not even one-third of what Twilight City had.
Since they were sitting on a mountain of such vast resources, why did they have to ask on the forums?
With the perfect circumstances to monopolise the market, if they did not make use of this opportunity to its fullest, based on Quan Zhen Sect’s personality, it would be as good as throwing a mountain of gold down the drain.
“A million fragnts... Where can we get so much initial funding?” Wang Yu asked as he rubbed his chin.
Even the cheapest Pugilist fragnt needed one thousand gold coins each. For a million fragnts... Even the richest n could not afford it.
“Old Bull, you are over-worrying!” Hearing what Wang Yu said, everyone laughed and said, “Our targets are those normal players without a guild.”
As Lu Xun said to not benefit others... Players with guilds would sell their fragnts to their guild to equip their elite players so outsiders would not be able to lay hands on them.
This was Wang Yu’s first ga and so it was understandable that he did not understand these unspoken rules in a guild. However, Quan Zhen Sect were all veteran players so of course, they would know.
In , team cooperation was very important so naturally, there were countless guilds. In Twilight City, the individual players were just a very small minority.
Hence, when Fearless said he wanted to monopolise the market resources, he ant taking fragnts from these people.
