Tyrant Serpent's orders shocked the Guild's upper echelons in the room .
This was the first time they had seen their Guild Leader so enraged, angry enough to make rash decisions .
"Guild Leader, isn't that a little too far? We're already spending 1 Gold for each Sea God's Blessing we obtain . If we sell the potion for 1 Gold, won't we be working for nothing? Moreover, our stock is limited . If we don't sell enough potions, that player will continue to make a profit, yet if we sell too many, we might not have enough for our members . It could hurt our exploration of Death's Waterfall . "
The House of Seas had stumbled upon the secret land, Death's Waterfall, by coincidence . The area's resources were beyond abundant . It was even home to quite a few ancient ruins . The small corner of Death's Waterfall they had explored thus far had already boosted the Guild's strength significantly . Among their initial harvest, they had obtained over a dozen Bronze Speedboats . They had also obtained a Mysterious-Iron Speedboat . There was even less need to mention the number of top-tier weapons and equipment they had found .
The areas of Death's Waterfall they had explored thus far were only the tip of the iceberg . The farther they ventured, the more frightening the treasures they encountered .
However, the secret land's environment was severe . If players did not possess sufficiently high Magic Resistance, survival was out of the question .
Hence, the House of Seas had purchased the Sea God's Blessing in bulk . Fortunately, the House of Seas had met an NPC Grandmaster Alchemist, which allowed them to synthesize Runic Crystals at a much higher success rate . However, while the cost of synthesizing the Runic Crystals had decreased significantly, it still wasn't cheap .
To explore Death's Waterfall, the House of Seas invested tons of Coins and resources each day . Moreover, the Guild increased its investments by the day . The more players they could send into the secret land, the faster they could explore the area . Naturally, they would send as many players as they could . This was also why their Guild was in short supply of Coins .
However, after seeing the popularity of the Sea God's Blessing in the various empires, they had found a solution to their money problem; they could sell some of their stock to fund the exploration . But selling the Sea God's Blessing at cost would gain them nothing .
"Don't worry . Previously, we only purchased Runic Fragments for 6 Silver per stack to prevent others from synthesizing Runic Crystals . If we purchase the fragments in bulk for 4 Silver per stack, that brat won't have any hope against us," Tyrant Serpent said, chuckling . "You just need to focus on finding an opportunity to kill that player . "
Hearing this, realization dawned on the upper echelons .
After all was said and done, Stormwind Town was only a town . The teleportation fees to get there weren't cheap . Meanwhile, the House of Seas had Shops in all of the twelve major NPC cities as well as numerous NPC towns in Sea's End . If players only planned to sell a small number of fragments, they could earn far more by selling them for 4 Silver per stack rather than traveling to Stormwind Town to sell them for 5 Silver per stack .
By doing this, not only could they hinder Shi Feng's financial progress, but they could also lower their cost of obtaining the Sea God's Blessing, killing two birds with one stone .
They doubted that Shi Feng had the assistance of a Grandmaster Alchemist . If this competition persisted long-term, Shi Feng would eventually fail to make any money with the Sea God's Blessing, suffering losses instead .
"Guild Leader is the best . If that brat had agreed to cooperate from the very beginning, he could have kept 20% of his profits . Now, he'll be kicked out of the competition and hunted endlessly . "
Following which, the House of Seas upper echelons left to fulfill Tyrant Serpent's orders .
…
As the House of Seas had discussed Shi Feng's situation, players also discussed the matter on Sea's End's official forums .
Someone had long since uploaded Shi Feng's declaration video against the House of Seas . No one had ever expected this outcome .
Despite the House of Seas sending hundreds of experts at Shi Feng, the Guild suffered a miserable defeat, its experts either dying or running away with their tails between their legs .
Shi Feng's battle video had also mesmerized many independent players . Whether it was his positioning, dodges, or attacks, compared to the other expert battle videos they had seen, this video was worlds apart .
In prior battle videos, they had seen experts take on twenty opponents at most . Moreover, those crowds usually consisted of ordinary players with poor equipment and low levels .
The higher quality videos usually only recorded a single expert taking on three or four elite players . Even so, the videos were educational and helped them to learn many combat techniques .
However, Shi Feng's battle video showcased a fight against the House of Seas's 200-man expert team . Even if some were not true experts, they were not that far off from it, either . Just one of these players could easily overwhelm multiple independent players like themselves, yet Shi Feng had suppressed all 200 .
If these players were distracted in the slightest while watching the battle video, they'd miss how the House of Seas members had died . Some of them had even opted to play the video in slow motion . Their eyes couldn't keep up with Shi Feng's speed, after all .
Such a mythical battle completely redefined their definition of "expert . " .
Compared to Shi Feng, the usual experts were nothing than a joke .
"The boss of this grocery store is invincible! He actually killed close to half of the House of Seas' 200 experts by himself! I wonder if he'd accept an apprentice? I have to ask him to teach me his ways!"
"I wonder if that shopkeeper plans to establish an adventurer team or Guild? If he does, I have to join even if I go bankrupt!"
"How can he move so fast? Is he even human?"
"He's a monster! There isn't a single player in Sea's End that's a match for him . Even those famous experts can't block one of his attacks . "
"Hahaha! The House of Seas is in trouble this time . They've provoked such an expert . If this expert wants revenge, the House of Seas members will have to be careful . "
"The House of Seas has indeed knocked on the wrong door this time . However, it won't be easy for this expert to cause trouble for the House of Seas . After all, the Guild has nearly a million members . Even if he can kill a player each second, it would take him days to annihilate the Guild . Even if he goes out of his way to hunt them down, what about his level and equipment? At the end of the day, one man's power is limited . At most, this player can annoy the House of Seas and damage its reputation . "
"Even so, he's still pretty impressive . The House of Seas is one of Sea's End's overlords . Have you ever seen the House of Seas suffer such a miserable defeat before?"
…
The forums buzzed with conversation regarding Shi Feng . The most debated topic was about who would emerge victorious . Would it be Shi Feng? Or would the House of Seas triumph? Although the outcome was unknown, everyone agreed on one thing: the grocery store's proprietor was undoubtedly the number one expert in Sea's End .
For a time, many players dreamed of being Shi Feng's students .
Because of this, the grocery store's popularity skyrocketed . By now, practically everyone in Sea's End knew about it .
In just half an hour after Shi Feng's battle with the House of Seas experts, Stormwind Town was packed with players, the town's player population increasing by several times . Many had come out of admiration, while some had come to convince Shi Feng to teach them . There was also a portion that had come to sell their Runic Fragments .
Players swarmed the Shop . Even getting through the entrance was now a problem .
"Guild Leader, too many players are trying to sell their Runic Fragments . The grocery store's warehouse is nearly at full capacity . Why don't we start renovating the Shop? We can bring in some of Candlelight's products," Fire Dance excitedly suggested after entering the second-floor room .
While she had been out purchasing Sea God's Blessings, she had gained a general understanding of Sea's End .
She had to admit that the business standards here were significantly inferior to the Star-Moon Kingdom's . The area's Lifestyle players were also low-quality .
If they sold the Candlelight Trading Firm's merchandise here, the items would definitely be in high demand .
