Chapter 1067 - Chapter 1067 Chapter 1067 Astonishing Gains

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Astonishing Gains Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Astonishing Gains Frenzied War Unparalleled’s face turned green, and although he wanted to continue haggling, the looks on everyone else’s faces made him give up on the idea, “Fine, 250,000 it is, I admit defeat. However, I have my money stored in the Goblin Neutral Bank; give me a little time to withdraw it.”

Li Yao nodded, responding, “No problem, take your time. With so many spoils of war, we also need time to transport them onto the ship.”

Frenzied War Unparalleled snorted coldly and immediately activated his Hearthstone to a certain Goblin city.

Li Yao chuckled and said, “Then let’s not idle around either, everything that can be moved, get it onto the ship.”

Apart from those surrounding the council hall who stood still, other Starfire members began to push carts down from the ship.

The presence of a password meant that the opponent’s warehouse was wide open to Starfire. With the battle over, Li Yao focused on having the parasitic worker bees continuously clear the corpses on the ground.

An hour later, Li Yao also officially received the whopping sum of 250,000. This was definitely a number that could drive everyone mad.

All the viewers’ eyes turned red with envy. Damn, the Berserker Guild was really too rich, actually able to fork out so much money, inciting envy, jealousy, and hatred from all other guilds.

Li Yao hadn’t realized just how far-reaching the impact of this event was. Because of it, many people came to understand just how lucrative maritime trade could be, which sped up its arrival. From this day on, countless guilds, despite knowing the dangers, still planned to relocate near ports and purchase corresponding ships to engage in maritime trade.

Unparalleled Beauty spoke on the channel for the elders, “The preliminary tally is almost complete. The Berserker Guild’s guild warehouse has no more than 30,000 GCoins, which is about the same as a normal large guild. However, the storage of materials and equipment is quite impressive, with many high-quality items. There are twenty Golden Dresses of various levels alone. There’s also a substantial quantity of different materials, exceeding the scale of a large guild, especially the private storeroom managed only by the guild leader and vice-leader, which holds a third of all the loot. The estimated value is over 100,000 GCoins.”

After a while, Sister Li at Starfire’s headquarters said, “This guild is really loaded, huh? I’ve been working hard and haven’t even come close to this much money. You guys fight two battles and now our guild has more money than we can spend. Seems like raiding is the fastest way to earn money.”

Li Yao reminded, “We’ve used a lot of the Ballista Burst Arrows this time, and there’s also the rewards for the members. The expenses are not small either.”

“We’ll distribute the specifics once Beauty has given the data to me. But compared to our gains, what we give to the members really isn’t much. We’ve earned so much that even if we double the rewards, we’d still be way ahead,” said Sister Li.

Li Yao, with a chuckle, replied, “Then let’s double the rewards. It happens to be that our brothers’ followers have suffered losses too. Replenishing them would be a huge boost for our guild.”

“That’s also good, considering we’re now rolling in cash. GCoins will inevitably depreciate, so it’s better to spend them,” Sister Li said, not hesitating one bit to agree. Normally, she would definitely object, but not this time.

Besides the income from the two raids, the herbs and potions she was responsible for purchasing were already skyrocketing in price.

Just yesterday, their price had increased by tens of times in just one day.

As Li Yao had said, the importance of resistance to poisons was now recognized by everyone during the massive effort to develop the Cathedral’s backyard, leading to an unknown multiple folds increase in the demand for relevant herbs and potions.

But the problem is, these days, Sister Li has almost sold off the majority of related items accumulated since the game started, and with the addition of some keen-nosed traders, it was even more so.

Yesterday’s prices were unclear, and the price of related items doubled, but thanks to the loot from battles, Starfire was nowhere short of Gold Coins, so Sister Li continued to buy as much as she could.

Even many timid traders who were frantically offloading their goods had them snapped up by Sister Li, and today, when players wanted to buy, there simply wasn’t enough to go around.

The herbalists were both irritated and excited, annoyed that they had sold the herbs no one wanted before, only now desperately seeking those very herbs.

Even many herbalists were fighting over herb gathering spots to claim what they could.

Alchemists and Pharmacists felt the same regret, having originally disdained learning about poison resistance and Antidote Potions, only to find now that formulas for them were worth their weight in gold and impossible to buy.

And Sister Li had begun to sell off in the auction houses of three factions, literally counting money until her hands cramped.

The wealth of Starfire expanded like a snowball rolling down a hill.

“Gold Coins should be put into circulation as soon as possible, that is most beneficial for us, either through circulation or by converting them into real strength,” Sister Li reminded Li Yao, worried that he lacked the experience to manage such wealth and could be dazzled by the money at hand.

Li Yao chuckled, “Do you think it’s hard for me to need money? My ambition doesn’t lie there. Plus, I’ve said it before, you’re in full charge of the guild’s operations, I only lay out the strategy for development. I’ve never thought to profit from Starfire Guild right now.”

“Then I was worried for nothing.” Thinking of Li Yao’s past behavior, Sister Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Li Yao would squander the money.

“With three strongholds now in the guild, we have far more money than we need. I’m thinking maybe like this, we’ve got some extra licenses now, perfect for undertaking oceanic trade, our guild’s ships along with those captured recently mean that even if we trade, there’ll be too much left over. So why not let guild members borrow Gold Coins from the guild at a low interest rate to buy ships and cargo, and join in the maritime trade? That way, not only does the guild get richer, but so do the members,” Li Yao suggested after some thought.

“That’s a great idea, hehe, I want to make my own money and become a wealthy woman, can I borrow too?” Tongtong interjected, and actually, the other veterans were wondering the same thing.

“Of course, the higher the rank within the guild, the more benefits you enjoy. Now that the guild is affluent, it’s only natural to give back to our members,” said Li Yao. “However, the rules can’t change; anyone who joins the guild’s trading convoy has to pay a percentage of their profits.”

“As long as there’s money to be made, it’s all good, especially since I’ve been needing some extra cash lately,” Angel said, visibly delighted.

Unparalleled Beauty saw Li Yao in a different light now. She had initially thought Li was only able to gather these people thanks to his skills and luck, especially Sister Li, whom she knew was extremely wealthy in real life, by no small margin wealthier than her.

But Li Yao was just an ordinary person, and seeing so much money hadn’t tempted him in the slightest; he even had such strategic insight. At this moment, her confidence in Starfire’s rise was genuinely solidified.

Clearing her throat lightly, Unparalleled Beauty spoke up, “There’s another matter I forgot to mention, our spies have discovered an area shrouded in mist. They’ve just found that it’s a bay, and just realized that it’s the real harbor of the Berserker Guild. Guess how many cargo ships are there?”…
