White River City, Overwhelming Smile's Guild Residence:
"Vice-Leader Youlan, I've finished my investigation of the Candlelight Trading Firm," a Level 23 male Assassin reported upon entering Overwhelming Smile's meeting room.
"Who started it?" Youlan asked in a hurry.
Currently, Overwhelming Smile suffered in the field battles against Zero wing. Their daily Coin expenditures were also quite significant.
Although Underworld had increased their investment in Overwhelming Smile, funds in particular, it was truly not easy to convert Credits into Coins. Despite spending a massive amount to purchase Coins, the Guild's supply barely maintained balance with its consumption.
In the beginning, Youlan had not expected that repairing equipment would cost so much.
However, her thoughts changed as the Guild's death toll continued to increase. Dying once might not cost much, but after two or three deaths, the Guild members had spent practically all of their remaining Coins. Afterward, in order to repair their equipment, these Guild members had no choice but to choose Coins as compensation.
This situation had immediately given Youlan, who had initially been quite confident, a huge headache. She wished she could choke Black Flame to death.
They had already paid out more than 1,000 Gold as compensation, not to mention the amount of Credits they had compensated.
Moreover, it wouldn't be long before the Guild had to pay compensation solely in Coins. After all, if players did not repair their equipment, they could not go out and level up. If their equipment became scrap, they would have to purchase new equipment to serve as a replacement. However, good equipment was not easy to obtain. Every piece of a player's equipment had been earned through blood and sweat; losing even a single piece was a painful loss. If they lost every piece of equipment they had on them...
Hence, before the Durability of their equipment reached a critical point, even if players had to purchase Coins with Credits, spending their entire fortune, they had to repair their equipment.
However, there was one point that confused Youlan greatly. Though Overwhelming Smile's losses were very heavy, Zero Wing's losses should not be any less. Not to mention, Zero Wing was not using Credits as a form of compensation at all. Its consumption of Gold should be significantly higher than theirs. Yet, even until now, not only had Zero Wing showed no signs of lacking money, but it was also spending more money than before.
It was inconceivable!
From the information Youlan had overheard, she knew that, aside from constructing the best Smithy available, Zero Wing had also purchased several sets of Dragonscale Set Equipment. At the very least, they would have to spend more than 2,000 Gold on these purchases. Not to mention, there was also the Gold they had to give out as compensation for the war of attrition.
Even Underworld would find it difficult to spend so much in such a short time.
Youlan could only see one end, Overwhelming Smile withdrawing from White River City, if things continued like this in their war of attrition. Hence, they needed to make a major change now. They must find a way to earn a large sum of Gold.
If one wanted to earn a large sum of Coins in God's Domain, the only way to do so was through trade.
Although the Guild Quests published in the Guild Residence were a large source of income, that potential was nothing compared to the money one could earn through trade.
