Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Attracting Customers

Vera placed the “Frost Shield” in the most eye-catching position in the store, so even as you walked by the store’s entrance, you could easily see the shield, radiating an intense silver glow and filled with an icy aura;

This move made Kagura, who had been paying close attention to Starfire Store, even more sullen.

“Struggling before death. That’s all there is to it. That shield is probably

Annie’s private collection. Being willing to sell it shows a lot of guts, but it will all be in vain.” Kagura sneered disdainfully.

Attracting customers with high-grade equipment can only work occasionally and can’t be employed for the store’s long-term development. If there’s no stable supply of goods, customers will quickly scatter again;

“Instruct them to sell all the products in the store at a 20% discount!” Kagura ordered a server.

“20% off? Sir, we are already selling at a loss. If we give a 20% discount again…” the server expressed in surprise.

“Stop stalling. Do as you’re told!” Angered, Kagura kicked at the server.

“Yes, yes, I’ll change the prices immediately!” The server scurried off to amend the prices. A cruel smile crossed Kagur’s face: “You want to compete with me? Even if I have to spend 10,000 Doomsday Coins a day, I won’t hesitate to kick you out of Area B completely!”

As the flagship set up by the Sunfire Commerce to challenge his adversaries, Kagura would not tolerate even the slightest mistake. Winning on his own territory is not worth showing off. The key is to win impressively, so as to leave a good impression on the heavyweights of his Commerce and make them remember his name.

City of Hymns’ Inn

Some players who had just logged in left their rooms and replenished their hunger and thirst in the lobby while exchanging some intel.

Logging off in the inn is not only safe, but it also allows for quick recovery of Spirit Points. Therefore, players born in the City of Hymns treat the inn as a base. Smaller transactions can even be completed in the inn, making the lobby always bustling.

“Hey, have you heard? Starfire Store is about to go under; even their servers have runout!”

“Silver Moon Commerce must have lost a lot this time, right? I don’t know what they are thinking. Instead of opening shop in a safe C zone, they had to open a branch in B zone. Do you think Sunfire Commerce would let them get away with it?”

“They might not be at a big loss. On the contrary, Sunfire Commerce might be at a bigger loss. These days, they have been selling at a loss. Honestly, I’m thinking of stocking up some goods when the two Commerces cut the prices. Such bargain is hard to come by.”

“Yeah, I don’t care whether it’s Silver Moon or Sunfire Commerce. I’ll buy from the one selling cheaper. When the two fight, players like us are the final winners!”

“Yeah, my monster-hunting cost has dropped quite a bit recently, thanks to them. I hope they can keep on fighting…”

Just then, a player rushed inside from the entrance, “Latest news! Sunfire Commerce is selling everything at a 20% discount! Hurry up, let’s go get them!”

“What, 20% off? They’re going too far!”

“It’s not too far. It’s Sunfire Commerce’s final blow. They want to completely crush their opponent. Let’s go. It’s now or never. The outcome will soon be decided.”

Suddenly, players in the tavern started calling together their friends, all rushing towards Sunfire’s shop. The threshold of Sunfire Commerce was almost trampled by the rush.

“Yay, they truly are giving a 20% discount, fantastic!”

“Haha, I hope the offer is unlimited! I’ll take five bottles of the potion to restore Mental Strength!”

“Medicine, give me ten bottles of healing potions!

“I’ll take this Level 10 white-grade equipment. I liked it earlier and wanted to buy it yesterday; I didn’t expect to save fifty Doomsday Coins by hesitating. Nice, very nice!”

Kagura watched as the customers crowded in. His face did not show the slightest joy but appeared somewhat awkward. Already selling at a loss, to then discount by another 20%, seemed as though he was practically giving away the shirt on his back, losing more than the cost of the materials.

“As long as it causes my opponent to go bankrupt, the losses now are worthwhile!” Kagura cast a sullen glance at Starfire Store across the street, muttering to himself.

Just then, a player standing at the entrance yelled in surprise: “Look at the store opposite, what’s that thing? It’s a silver-grade shield!”

“What did you say, a silver-grade shield? How is that possible?” A Shield Warrior exclaimed in surprise. The reaction silenced the patrons in the store momentarily;

“Lookfor yourself! Isn’t that the silver-grade shield? Oh my God, it’s a high-grade item, with such good attributes, and even a passive skill!”

“Let’s go, we must take a look. I must secure this shield!” This Shield Warrior immediately put down the item he had just picked up and headed towards Starfire Store.

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look at the high-grade equipment!”

“Starfire Store has truly invested a lot. They are even willing to put up such a high-grade shield! Oh my God, there are also Level 15 blue-grade equipment, and with decent attributes!”

“This Level 10 blue gauntlet is exactly what I need. How much is it, why is there no price listed!”

“Frost Shield, a Level 15 silver high-grade shield, it’s perfect. Our Glory Alliance lacks a high-grade shield; with it, we can start exploring the Subterranean Cavern. This shield is ours, everyone else stop competing!” Vera had just put up the items for sale and was about to set the prices, but she saw a large swarm of players rushing towards them. She quickly increased the original price by 30%.

All of these items were provided by Song Jian and the most of the Doomsday Coins they earned from the sale would go to him. The store could only earn a little bit from consignment fees. However, the sales volume was calculated based on the total price of all the items;

Soon, prices were attached to all the items just placed in the store;

“What, 100,000 Doomsday Coins, that’s way too expensive!” Seeing the price of 100,000 Doomsday Coins under the silvery glowing shield, all the players gasped.

“This Level 10 blue equipment actually costs 5,000 Doomsday Coins. It’s too expensive! Can you give a discount?”

“Poor ones, you want top-tier equipment without money to buy, 5,000 Doomsday Coins, I’ll take it!”

The news that Starfire Store was beginning to sell a large number of high-grade equipment soon reached all the player alliances in the City of Hymns. Nearly all the alliances started furiously raising fund to try and secure all this equipment after receiving this news, especially the silver-grade Frost Shield.
