Chapter 722: Little Contribution
When Xu Feng ntioned the upcoming chamber of comrce, both Carn and Crimson Heart were taken by surprise.
"A chamber of comrce?" Carn raised an eyebrow. "I don't wish to sound opposing, but a chamber of comrce requires tons of resources and connections."
Crimson Heart nodded in agreent.
She might not have participated in Vanguard Guild's matter, but she had a clear idea of the current guild's standing.
Aside from the Phoenix Guild and Silver Wind Guild that the guild had a closer relationship with, the rest were either neutral, business, or hostile.
The number of hostile guilds was the highest. It could be said that the Vanguard Guild had made an enemy of Reaver Guild, Lethal Corp, and most recently, MIST.
On the surface, it didn't look like Reaver Guild or Lethal Corp had any intention of doing anything, but the truth was far from that. In the background, many of their allies had begun attacking Vanguard Guild through attrition in business.
So far, the Vanguard Guild's business was stable in Star Falls City, but that was about it.
If they were to attempt to expand to other cities, they would definitely fall into ruin before their business could even open.
After all, players currently only fear the strength of the Vanguard Guild in the wilderness. So long as they remained in the city and operated their business, the Vanguard Guild would be helpless against it.
"Your feat in openly declaring war with MIST inside a city was scary enough, but that's because MIST deserves it for trying to take advantage of your plight. If you try to pull a similar stunt on guilds that didn't, then you will be making an enemy of everyone." Crimson Heart warned solemnly.
What she ant was that Xu Feng was not allowed to declare war just because of a business competition. In business competition, the only thod was to use superior items for sale and the price setting to defeat others.
Anyone who dared to ignore this unspoken rule and resort to violence was essentially trying to provoke the rchant system.
Violence as in openly blockading players from entering the shop or attacking those who patronize it.
However, the truly powerful one would without a doubt ignore it and continue their blatant bullying.
"The two of you can rest assured. I'm not opening the chamber of comrce yet." Xu Feng chuckled softly. "I've only said upcoming because I still have a stop to make."
"A stop?" Confused, Carn was unsure what type of sche he was planning.
"Since you know the risk, then I won't bother persuading you otherwise. Just know that I won't be handling a broken or fragile chamber of comrce." Crimson Heart shrugged and warned. She wouldn't bother wasting her ti if the chamber of comrce wasn't stable enough to withstand itself.
Nodding, Xu Feng naturally won't trouble her if he can't handle it.
Soti later, Crimson Heart excused herself now that she had done her part. As she exited the town and returned to her original location, Carn stepped forward.
"Guild Leader, where are you going to find the proper connections?" She asked softly.
Within the region around Star Falls City, there were no potential guilds that they could form an alliance with.
Almost all of them were either neutral or silently hostile toward them. It was impossible to convince them to join their chamber of comrce.
"I have my ans." Xu Feng calmly responded.
"Why are we trying to create a chamber of comrce though? With this town, our plates are going to be too full." Carn furrowed her brows. Their manpower was still lacking, given that Xu Feng was extrely stringent when choosing guild mbers to work.
Despite the mber counts, only a selected few were actually entrusted with anything related to the guild's operation.
Most of the others were rely completing the guild's mission assigned to them by NPCs and earning rit Points to exchange for items in the Guild Warehouse.
"Have you recalled the Miracle Pavilion's evaluation of us previously?" Xu Feng questioned.
"The Miracle Pavilion…" A bit dazed for a second, Carn quickly recalled who they were. "Ah, it's them who ranked us in 9,992 and was the owner of Miracle Chamber of Comrce."
After saying so, she flashed a disgusted expression.
She still rembered their explanation was equivalent to talking down on their guild's achievent.
Suddenly, realization dawned upon Carn. "Could it be that the Guild Leader wanted to go against their chamber of comrce?"
"Mhmm, I'm not so punching bad who will simply smile after getting punched." Nodding, Xu Feng hadn't yet forgotten their little contribution in pushing MIST to target them.
"They might not be powerful in terms of strength, but their wealth and connection were on par with the Super Guilds." He continued, listing where the power of Miracle Pavilion stemd from.
"I've checked the items that were being sold, and they already managed to concoct sothing similar to our Experience Potions. They also got so equipnt set that was just slightly inferior to the Elental Warrior Set, but it was sold for cheaper and in bulk." Carn comnted after doing so research.
Their Miracle Chamber of Comrce wasn't secret, so any players could easily access their shop to see what was available for purchase.
Of course, Xu Feng also had his Vanguard Shop operated in a similar manner, but the traffic of players browsing their shop was far insignificant when compared to the Miracle Pavilion.
It was similar to a luxury brand and a local store. A local store item might not necessarily be inferior to the luxury brand. But in terms of influence and popularity, as well as the pricing, it was a complete joke to compare.
"We can't even compete with them in our local area." Carn continued, feeling that this wasn't a viable plan to retaliate.
"This is why I'm going to head to Sky Wind Empire and seek so guilds to cooperate." Xu Feng suddenly said. "Our guild doesn't lack materials, but I'm certain that there are many guilds lacking the materials. What I will sell in the future is not a product, but materials required for the product."
