"Guild Leader, what happened?" Fire Dance asked when she noticed Shi Feng's joyful smile .
"It's nothing . I just made a small profit, that's all," Shi Feng replied, chuckling .
In the past, the Sea God's Blessing had only sold for 3 Gold during its peak . Now, he had managed to sell the potion for an average of 5 Gold, 20 Silver . That was nearly double the price back then .
Moreover, this had only been the first batch . As the potion's fame spread, its price would continue to rise .
The only problem was the attention from the various large Guilds . By now, the various large Guilds should've begun their investigation into the potion . With a little effort, it wasn't hard to learn about the Sea God's Blessing . After all, the Sea God's Blessing was one of the basic items available for trade in the Sea God's Temple . Once the various large Guilds discovered the potion's origins, they would try to obtain it for themselves by any means necessary, rather than purchase the bottles from the Auction House . After all, it was much cheaper to obtain the potion from the Sea God's Temple .
With enough Runic Fragments, they could hire an NPC Master Alchemist to synthesize Runic Crystals . Employing a Master Alchemist might be difficult for ordinary players, but that was not the case for large Guilds . Even if a Master Alchemist only had a 10% synthesis success rate, with each stack of Runic Fragment only costing 5 Silver, the potion's total cost wouldn't exceed 1 Gold, 50 Silver . It was much cheaper than buying the potion from Shi Feng .
With the potion's growing popularity, I need to hurry . Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng rushed back to Stormwind Town with Fire Dance .
Now that the various Guilds had caught wind of the Sea God's Blessing, they would find a way to obtain them in Sea's End . However, the Sea God's Blessing was not available indefinitely . Each Sea God's Temple only stocked 50,000 bottles each week .
If he secured all of the available Sea God's Blessings, even if the other Guilds had the required points, they wouldn't be able to trade for the potion .
Meanwhile, throughout Sea's End, players had only discovered ten Sea God's Temples . As long as he had the funds, it wasn't impossible to clear the temples' stock . After all, he had already earned some funds from the first batch of Sea God's Blessings .
However, when Scorpion realized Shi Feng was returning to Stormwind Town, he very nearly lost consciousness .
After traveling around the continent, he returned to where he had begun…
In total, he had spent more than 24 Gold on teleportation fees . Scorpion wanted nothing more than to rip Shi Feng apart with his own hands .
…
Stormwind Town:
When Shi Feng returned to the grocery store, he discovered far more players in the business district . These players watched the grocery store like hawks, waiting for the NPCs to hang the wooden signboard that announced the purchasing of Runic Fragments .
The Shop really has become quite famous . I should be able to collect a lot of fragments . Shi Feng smiled as he entered the grocery store .
Upon his return, Shi Feng also received the profits from the first round of sales in other empires .
Although the potions were not as popular as they were in the Fire Dragon Empire, each bottle still sold for 5 Gold or more . Overall, the 600 bottles that had sold in four other empires had earned Shi Feng an additional 3,000-plus Gold .
Without hesitation, Shi Feng equipped the grocery store with 3,000 Gold and began to purchase Runic Fragments once more . Meanwhile, Fire Dance headed out to purchase the Sea God's Blessing .
"Quick, look! The signboard is up again!"
"Hahaha! I knew it wasn't a waste of time to wait! I've purchased a ton of Runic Fragments from other cities . I'll make a fortune!"
…
When the waiting players saw the signboard, they charged into the Shop . Among them, there were a few Merchant players trying to make a profit through the price spread .
After purchasing Runic Fragments in other NPC cities, these Merchant players would come running to the grocery store to sell the fragments for 5 Silver per stack . Even if they only earned 1 Silver per stack, selling five or six hundred stacks would earn them five or six Gold . Even experts couldn't earn that much money in a single day .
He had offered to purchase each stack of Runic Fragments for 5 Silver precisely to inspire these Merchant players to do the dirty work for him, purchasing fragments from other cities and saving him plenty of time .
In just ten minutes, the grocery store had purchased over 6,000 Runic Fragment stacks . This was far faster than before . Unfortunately, Shi Feng's synthesis speed remained constant as the Philosopher's Stone could only synthesize one Runic Crystal at a time .
Time passed quickly . Despite players' rush to sell their fragments, Shi Feng's funds didn't decrease in the slightest . On the contrary, he continued to gain more Coins . Very quickly, Shi Feng had accumulated 20,000 Gold . Meanwhile, Fire Dance had purchased the remaining 42,000 bottles of Sea God's Blessing in Stormwind Town's Sea God's Temple and stored them in the grocery store's warehouse .
Following which, Shi Feng sent the 20,000 Gold he earned to Melancholic Smile, contacting her and saying, "Melancholic, I just sent you 20,000 Gold . Once you receive it, start the new Shops' reconstruction . "
The sooner those twenty Shops were complete, the sooner they could purchase Diamond Wood . After all, if the other Guilds learned about the Diamond Wood's value, it would become extremely difficult to purchase even if Zero Wing had the funds .
"Twenty thousand?! Guild Leader, how did you get so much money?!" Melancholic Smile was momentarily dumbfounded .
She had been managing both the Candlelight Trading Firm and Zero Wing's finances all this time, so she was very aware of their financial situation . Both the Guild and the trading firm continued to expand . As a result, the cost of the Guild's benefits rose each day . They also had to continue purchasing more materials . There was also the fact that Stone Forest Town had recently become an Intermediate Town, so they had plenty of buildings to construct . Practically all of the Guild's funds had already been allocated . The Guild simply had no money to spare right now .
"I just made some money selling potions . I'll send the money for the Diamond Wood a little later," Shi Feng said, chuckling .
His current earnings were only the tip of the iceberg .
If he could monopolize the Sea God's Blessing before the other Guilds gathered enough points to trade for it, he could easily make several times more than his current profits .
It was for this reason that he had sent Fire Dance to visit the other Sea God's Temples to exchange their points for Sea God's Blessing .
While Fire Dance visited the various Sea God's Temples, Shi Feng wandered throughout God's Domain, selling the Sea God's Blessings . Although he could only carry 4,000 bottles with him at a time, the potion's prices continued to increase . Excluding the Fire Dragon Empire, the Sea God's Blessing's maximum price had risen from 5 Gold, 20 Silver to 5 Gold, 60 Silver . The potion was far more popular than Shi Feng had expected .
However, by the time Shi Feng was on his fourth visit to the various empires, the potion's popularity had calmed, the maximum price decreasing to roughly 5 Gold .
While Shi Feng had expected the drop, he was surprised to see others selling the Sea God's blessing in the various Auction Houses .
He hadn't expected competition this early .
Moreover, their starting prices were even lower than his, only 1 Gold, 30 Silver . Their sales volume was also quite significant . It was also because of this that the potion's prices had fallen so much .
"Guild Leader, the Sea God's Temple I'm in only has a little over half its stock remaining . There are less than 20,000 bottles left . The previous temple I visited had already traded a few thousand bottles as well," Fire Dance reported . "Should I purchase what's left of this temple's stock?"
