Chapter 299: Astonishing Sell-Off Volume

At this moment, Su Sheng finally turned his attention to the other teams.

It's quite interesting…

Adding Yanhuang and the four major guilds of Zhuque City… although so far only Yanhuang has actually formed a guild.

Among the four major guilds, each had two teams qualify—Yanhuang, the Imperial Dynasty, Tian Sheng Changge, and the Peak—except that the Peak itself only had two teams; Yanhuang, Tian Sheng Changge, and the Imperial Dynasty each lost one team.

It seems one can also check the teams of other main cities; Su Sheng curiously opened the interfaces of the other main cities.

First is Qing Long Main City, after all the top guild, Huan Yu, is based there.

In Qing Long Main City, Huan Yu had three teams qualify, Qiming Xing also had three, next the Fengfeng Pavilion guild had two, and the remaining two teams were solo player teams.

The Fengfeng Pavilion, a major guild similar to Chu Song Zongheng, is a second‑tier guild just below the top ten; speaking of Bihua, it counts as a second‑tier guild, but it's the last one in that tier.

Next is Baihu Main City; Su Sheng didn't misremember—Qiancheng Muxue ended up there, and the second guild, Po Xiao, is also in Baihu Main City.

The qualifying teams from Baihu Main City: Po Xiao had three, War to Stop War had two, Qiancheng Muxue also had two, next the Liuli guild and the Bihua guild each had one, plus one solo player team.

Following Qiancheng Muxue to the Yao Wei, a third‑ or fourth‑tier small guild in Baihu City, no team qualified; in fact, such low‑tier guilds are common in Zhuque City too, but none managed to qualify.

Finally there is Xuanwu Main City, which hosts the fourth‑ranked Hong Meng and the tenth‑ranked Tian Lang of the top ten guilds.

The qualifying teams from Xuanwu Main City: Hong Meng directly had four, Tian Lang had two, Chu Song and Zongheng each appeared with two teams; all the teams appearing in Xuanwu Main City were from guilds, with no solo player team at all.

These are the competing teams from the four main cities in the Cauldron Seizure War.

In this situation, any solo player team that manages to break out of the encirclement will later become a recruitment target of the top ten guilds.

"Kong Lang, Huan Jie, take a look at those solo player teams, get in touch, and try to recruit them." Su Sheng instructed his two deputy presidents of Yanhuang.

"As for Zhu Meng, no need—I'll handle that myself." Su Sheng added.

"No problem!" Kong Lang replied immediately.

"We should show more sincerity, after all we are the first and currently the only ones who have actually established a guild, so we should have the advantage." Su Sheng urged.

"Don't worry." Lin Huan also replied.

The game time for today was about to end; besides the two reins Su Sheng had gathered before the preliminary match, he only managed to pull out one more this round, leaving him feeling a bit down.

But thinking that his daily income was close to 300,000, it didn't seem like a loss.

Ding~

System Notification: Congratulations, player, your bid on the barbarian ox mount reins in the auction house has been instantly bought out at the highest price.

Ah?

Su Sheng froze for a moment.

He had set the auction duration to twelve hours, that is, before today's game ends, so the highest bid should have been decided by now.

How could someone at this critical moment instantly buy it out at the highest price? Su Sheng's maximum bid was fifty thousand gold coins.

That's over four million!

Did that tycoon just snap it up? Although the fee took five percent, Su Sheng still felt a pang of regret.

But after deducting the fee, he still walked away with over four million; Su Sheng was quite satisfied, though of course he still needs to sell the gold coins to actually have that amount.

Afterward Su Sheng returned to town, collected 47,500 gold coins from the auction house, the five percent fee amounted to 2,500, then he found Huan Jie and traded her 40,000 gold coins along with the reins he had crafted today.

"That much gold?" Lin Huan stared in surprise.

"That mount we talked about this morning sold for fifty thousand gold coins; we've put this forty thousand together with the proceeds from selling other mounts later, and we only need to keep twenty to thirty thousand gold coins in the guild as operating funds." Su Sheng said.

"Mm." Lin Huan nodded: "Today we directly dumped over eight hundred mounts, leaving us with only a couple hundred reins left." Lin Huan added cheerfully, they're just small change.

Ah?

Su Sheng froze: "So fast—has the price not dropped?"

Wasn't the plan to stabilize the price by dumping over a hundred a day?

"No, they sold out instantly at one thousand gold coins each, which is why we ended up dumping so many today." Lin Huan laughed.

"Huh?" Su Sheng thought for a moment and realized: "The Cauldron Seizure War!" He raised his eyebrows.

"Right." Lin Huan nodded: "That's probably it."

Su Sheng pondered; players arriving at the main cities basically switch jobs right away, and there definitely won't be few War Knight players among the four main cities.

Compared to other professions, War Knight players have a much stronger, essential need for mounts—after all, it's part of their power boost; only a War Knight with a mount is a qualified War Knight.

Therefore, to gain a certain advantage in the Cauldron Seizure War, any team with War Knights will try to get a mount for their War Knight teammates; with so many teams from the four main cities participating, selling over eight hundred mounts is actually on the low side.

However, the sell‑off plan that was supposed to last seven or eight days was completed in a single day, gathering a large amount of gold coins, which is also an unexpected windfall.

"The remaining reins are probably only enough for two days' worth of the planned sell‑off," Lin Huan said with a hint of regret.

Su Sheng smiled: "No problem—after we completely unload the reins, the first wave of profit will be ours; although there's still money to be made afterward, we can devote some energy to developing the guild and improving ourselves."

"Of course, regarding the mount reins, we're not giving them up entirely—we're just shifting our main focus; once mount prices drop, we can then completely abandon this line." Su Sheng said with a laugh.

Once these reins are fully sold off and the gold coins are converted, Yanhuang will at least be able to gather close to one hundred million in funds!

One hundred million!

Although it's nothing to the top ten guilds backed by big conglomerates, for the newly started Yanhuang it's more than enough.

What else could he possibly be dissatisfied with?

Su Sheng hadn't forgotten that there was a grandmaster‑level blacksmith waiting for him in Wutong Town.

After reaching tier‑three guild status, they can apply for a garrison; only when the garrison is established does it truly become a profit‑generating hen.

The game time for today was nearly over; Su Sheng then practiced some Yanhuang guild matters with Huan Jie for a while, after which they both logged off.

Tomorrow the Cauldron Seizure War begins!
