Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 190

Chapter 190 - Taking Precautions

Shi Feng had already received attention since the problem of the leveling strategy cropped up .

Now that he had priced the leveling strategy at a shockingly high price of ten billion Credits, he was once more pushed into the spotlight . Hence, it was only natural for the White River City Guidebook to receive everyone's attention the moment it appeared . These sales had far exceeded Shi Feng's expectations . Shi Feng quietly called up the half-transparent display screen . When he examined the sales records displayed on the official forums, Shi Feng involuntarily revealed a knowing smile .

The simplified version of the White River City Guidebook sold 25,364 copies .

The luxury version of the White River City Guidebook sold 367 copies .

In only half a day's time, the sales had already reached such numbers . Even a best-selling book could achieve such a feat .

The simplified version, which was the cheapest version of the guidebook, already cost 300 Credits . This was much more expensive than any ordinary book . However, over 25,000 copies still sold . Moreover, 367 copies of the 20,000 Credit version of the guidebook also sold . It was obvious just how great the business opportunities were in God's Domain .

Just the Credits Shi Feng earned within a day exceeded ten million . It was practically faster than robbing a bank .

Of course, the main contributor to such success was Shi Feng becoming too eye-catching and famous, even if most of it was infamy . Moreover, along with the passing of time, the sales of the White River City Guidebook would still increase . Although Shi Feng won't be earning as much as he was now, his daily earnings would still be considerable .

Originally, Shi Feng estimated his earnings from the guidebooks would be around several million Credits . Moreover, he reached this conclusion after taking into consideration that every Guild within the White River City region would purchase a copy of the luxury version . However, the conversation records on the forums made it clear that it wasn't just players within the White River City region paying attention to the guidebook . Players and Guilds from other cities also purchased the guidebooks, which, in turn, led to such a high selling rate . Although it was a strange situation, Shi Feng could guess the intentions of the players and Guilds of other cities .

The difference between cities was not particularly large . Mostly, only the quests available, leveling spots, and amount of NPCs were different . However, the main rules in a city and the ways to develop a Guild in a city were the same . As long as they bought the White River City Guidebook, they would understand the basic rules of their respective cities . They could also quickly adapt to the playstyle in the cities . So, naturally, they would purchase a copy of the guidebook to get a general understanding of their respective cities . Now that Shi Feng had gained over ten million Credits for no good reason, confidence regarding his future filled his heart . He might even be able to suppress Shadow at the Fellowship Party in a few days, becoming the center of attention during the party . However, before he could become the focal point, he needed to make plenty of preparations . After all, his background was simply too weak compared to Shadow's right now .

Hard Stones will soar in price from now on . It should reach its peak by the time the first corporation enter White River City . That time would be the best opportunity for me to sell my stock and make a killing .  Shi Feng closed the official forums as he thought . Right now, aside from Credits, he needed a lot of Gold Coins to increase his Workshop's background . However, he could not just hold on to a ton of Gold Coins . After all, the true way of earning money in a virtual reality game was by spending money in the first place . He currently had far too few Coins to carry out such a feat . Hence, he needed to earn many more Gold Coins . Right now, becoming enemies with that many unrated Guilds had placed quite a pressure on Shi Feng . Although these Guilds were not much of a threat to him as a lone player, he still wanted to establish his own Guild in the future . Such a situation would be detrimental to his Guild .

As the saying went, the barefooted did not fear those with shoes[1] . Establishing your own Guild was the equivalent of putting on shoes . Having a Guild was the equivalent of having a house, supplying your enemies with an easy target; they could deal with you with greater ease . Hence, in Shi Feng's previous life, plenty of small Guilds were forced to disperse due to being targeted by a large Guild . On the other hand, the fixed teams formed by independent players got by rather peacefully, and it went without saying that lone players could do so as well .

However, there was a limit to the strength of a single individual in God's Domain . It was the same in the case of a large team . If Shi Feng wanted to establish his own virtual empire, he, even more, was in need of the strength of a Guild . Hence, establishing a Guild was his only available option .

To reduce the pressure on himself, Shi Feng needed to increase the pressure on these unrated Guilds . That way, they couldn't spare any time to deal with him . Although there was still a long time until these Guilds would search him out, it was wise to take precautions .

Immediately, Shi Feng contacted Stabbing Heart . "Brother Ye Feng, I am truly grateful for your help the last time! Because of your guidebook, the elite teams of our Guild could prepare far more than other Guilds . After we enter White River City, I believe it won't be long before our Assassin's Alliance reigns supreme over the other Guilds in White River City!" Stabbing Heart excitedly said, "However, after not meeting for some time, I never imagined that Brother Ye Feng would grow even more famous! I am truly envious! If I become as famous as Brother Ye Feng, I might even be promoted to an elder position during the next Guild meeting!"

"I'd rather be more ordinary," Shi Feng smiled bitterly as he shook his head .

The nail that stuck out would be hammered down . Although Shi Feng had long since been prepared for this in his heart, he did not think that the actual situation would be so intense .

"Brother Ye Feng, since you are looking for me, do you need help for something?" Stabbing Heart asked . Normally, Shi Feng would not take the initiative to contact him unless there was something going on .

"Of course . Moreover, it is good news for you," Shi Feng laughed . "Good news?" Stabbing Heart grew slightly excited . He had received plenty of praises from the Guild Leader due to the help he received from Shi Feng the past several times . As a result, his position in Assassin's Alliance had risen by quite a bit . Meanwhile, the matter of the White River City Guidebook even earned him the good graces of the Guild elders; they had already labeled him as one of the reserve elders of the Guild . Such a promotion was rare in the Assassin's Alliance, and it displayed how highly the Guild Leader and elders thought of him .

"Do you lack Hard Stones right now?" Shi Feng asked .

"Lack?! My subordinates and I have a headache over this matter right now! Even though I'd sent many people out to grind, the amount of Hard Stones we obtained is merely a drop in the bucket! Does Brother Ye Feng need some Hard Stones right now?" Stabbing Heart breathed out a tired sigh when he heard the words 'Hard Stone . ' He then immediately said, "If Brother Ye Feng needs them, I should be able to gather three to four stacks for you . I truly can't spare any more than that . "

Stabbing Heart only spoke the truth . After all, he had prepared these Hard Stones for the forgers in his Guild to craft Whetstones . "Brother Stabbing Heart, you're overthinking things . I'm not calling to buy, but to sell," Shi Feng laughed .

"Sell?" Stabbing Heart was awe-stricken . Hard Stones were extremely rare right now, and it was insanely difficult for average players to obtain them . Not to mention selling them, players would normally choose to keep them for their own use . After all, if one wanted to level up quickly, Whetstones were a must . "How many do you have? Be it two or three stacks, I want all of them! I'll even buy them at above market price! What do you think about 9 Silver Coins per stack?"In Stabbing Heart's mind, Shi Feng was only an independent player . It was already heaven-defying for him to have two to three stacks . After all, Stabbing Heart's own team, which consisted of hundreds of players, had only managed to obtain three to four stacks after a long time . "No; I have fifty stacks . However, I'm only taking Coins for them," Shi Feng casually responded, extended five fingers .
