Under Feng Xuanyang's command, Youlan, who was currently in Maple City, gave a new command.
Reduce their prices further!
"Miss Youlan, we won't earn much money if we reduce our prices any more than this," a female assistant cautioned.
"I don't want this, either." Youlan shook her head helplessly. "The Candlelight Trading Firm's new move is simply too effective. It actually obtained such a valuable product. Both ordinary players and elites require this Light Stone. Although our Fire Dragon Potions are also very useful, only elite teams and various Guilds can afford to buy them. Meanwhile, our stock of Fire Dragon Potions is very limited. As a competitive edge, it stands no chance against the Light Stone at all."
If they wanted to lure players to the Overwhelming Trading Firm, their only option was to do so with their common products.
"Right, from this moment onwards, halt all sales of the Fire Dragon Potion in White River City," Youlan said after giving it some more thought.
Their supply of Fire Dragon Potions had already been insufficient to meet the demands of Maple City. Now that they had opened a Shop in White River City as well, their stock had stretched even thinner, further reducing the Overwhelming Trading Firm's competitive edge. Moreover, there was a city tax imposed for selling the Fire Dragon Potions in White River City. This was also a considerable expenditure. So, now, their best option was to maintain the Overwhelming Trading Firm's competition in Maple City above all else.
"Understood," the female assistant then left the meeting room.
Overwhelming Trading Firm's price reduction on its common goods had indeed attracted more ordinary players.
Common items such as Whetstones and Advanced Whetstones, various food and beverages, Regeneration Potions and Mana Recovery Potions, basic scrolls and more were must-have items when grinding in the fields. Now that the Overwhelming Trading Firm offered a 40% discount on these items, many ordinary players ran to its Shops to purchase these items.
For a time, the weakened Overwhelming Trading Firm in Maple City suddenly stood on equal footing with the Candlelight Trading Firm.
The Candlelight Trading Firm had the Basic Strengthened Armor Kits and the Light Stones.
The Overwhelming Trading Firm possessed the Fire Dragon Potion and discounts on common goods.
This situation overjoyed Maple City's players.
While the Candlelight Trading Firm did not possess too large of an advantage in Maple City, in other cities, however, it was an entirely different story. The Trading Firm was like the sun at high noon in these cities. Because of the Light Stones, a large number of players swarmed the Candlelight Trading Firm's Shops. Most of these players might have initially arrived with the intention of only purchasing the Light Stones. However, upon seeing the wide array of products the Trading Firm offered, they fell prey to temptation and bought other items as well.
Suddenly, the Candlelight Trading Firm's income exploded.
Meanwhile, the Trading Firm's most exaggerated sources of income were still Star-Moon City and White River City. As the Candlelight Trading Firm had set up its Shops on these two cities' golden Lands, it had instantly become an unshakable player-owned trading firm there. The traffic other player-owned trading firms enjoyed was nothing compared to what the Candlelight Trading Firm saw.
Star-Moon City and White River City were Star-Moon Kingdom's first and second most populated cities, respectively. Naturally, the income they could offer was astonishing.
