Chapter 913: Commercial War

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With Li Yi’s current strength, he would not feel the slightest pressure against any monster or player unless he encountered the Winged Ruler.
Black Wing, the first player in the server to conquer the 100-floored Tower of Remorse. He was skilled, but that depended on who he was compared to. When compared to others, he was extremely powerful, however, against Li Yi, he would always lose.
Even if Li Yi were to abandon his Territory Rank, the others would still be no match for him and his Hall of Fame Set.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
Li Yi fired left and right, eliminating all players and Winged Ones who stood in his way.
With the Flaming Phoenix and Shooting at Random, the army of more than 10,000 Winged Ones was rapidly reduced. Bai Xiaoya, who was hiding behind the army, saw that things were falling apart. She turned away and ran.
Had she not been in combat, she would have gone offline by now.
“Squawk!”
The Winged Ones were not afraid of death and continued to attack Li Yi.
Hundreds of the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s elites died at Li Yi’s hands. Only Bai Xiaoya and a few others survived. When Li Yi was done with the Winged Ones, Bai Xiaoya and the others were nowhere to be seen.
They had slipped away again.
“Heh…”
Li Yi sneered. Bai Xiaoya’s escape did not affect his mood at all. For him, killing her several times would be letting her off too easily.
It was impossible to keep a large guild up and running without some level of economic power. This applied to both the Little Drunk Cat Guild and the Fluttering Snow Alliance.
The Fluttering Snow Alliance’s main business was material trade. Things like rare medicinal ingredients, equipment materials, scrolls, and etcetera. The income earned formed the foundation of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.
Bai Xiaoya had ruined Starting Point City, simply killing, and torturing her several times was not enough. Her equipment was average, and she had not maxed out her level. Killing her would not accomplish anything.
“Where’s Sister Autumn?”
Li Yi sent a voice message to Autumn Love.
“Dark Wing, I… I am in the shop!” She sounded surprised. Li Yi rarely contacted her, as a result, every time he did, she got excited.
“Can you do me a favor? I promise there’ll be returns.”
“Returns?”
Autumn Love did not feel like helping, but she was enthusiastic as soon as she knew there were benefits.
Li Yi contacted Autumn Love and Brother Windcloud Nine, asking the latter to set aside his plans to attack Sky Island.
The Winged Ruler, Moonlight, was unkillable at the moment. Only after clearing the Wings of the Sky Dungeons and gathering new equipment against the Winged Ruler, could it be killed.
“Brother Nine, one more thing.”
To truly bring down Bai Xiaoya, Li Yi and Autumn Love’s power was far from enough. The financial strength of Brother Windcloud Nine was required.
Li Yi’s plan was very simple. He would gather the powerful players in the game to undercut the Alliance so that Bai Xiaoya had no money to earn.
Tricking people was Autumn Love’s specialty. As such, Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine served only as support, while she handled all the purchasing of materials and pricing matters.
On Li Yi’s instruction, Chen Yang and Brother Windcloud Nine retreated and temporarily abandoned the attack on Sky Island to start a commercial war with Bai Xiaoya.
Li Yi listed a number of materials and handed them to Autumn Love. These materials were all products that Bai Xiaoya often sold. As long as they got them, they could lead her by the nose.
Autumn Love was fully committed to this war.
On the third day of disrupting market prices, good news came. Shen Lang collected a piece of information that was sufficient to cheer Li Yi up.
The Aryan Association, known as the richest trading guild in the past, was confirmed by Shen Lang to be a branch of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.
The Aryan Association, widely known to excel in commerce and trade because its members never participated in any wars. They thought only about earning money, occupying resource points of minerals and medicinal ingredients, and etcetera. No one could seize resource points from them, resulting in their reputation as the most profitable and influential trading guild.
Li Yi had always thought that the sale of materials was the lifeblood of the Fluttering Snow Alliance. When he heard Shen Lang’s news, he realized it was actually the Aryan Association.
Things would be much smoother now that he knew this secret. Li Yi allowed Brother Windcloud Nine and Chen Yang to mobilize players and collectively invest in the business of foraging and mining.
They robbed and killed people.
Dead bodies were scattered over the resource points. They killed everyone that was not on their side.
He would rather kill a thousand than let one guilty person go free.
Li Yi went too far this time.
There were comments about him every day on the World Channel. The slain players never blamed their killers but directly swore at Li Yi. For a time, Li Yi was embroiled in a scandal.
In fact, with the exception of a few people, not many knew that this series of events was planned by Li Yi. The public anger had a surprisingly specific target. It was obvious that this was Bai Xiaoya’s counterattack against Li Yi.
Others might not be clear as to who was behind the scenes, but not Bai Xiaoya.
“Kill, dammit! Kill and grab the goods!”
“Whoever steals my stuff needs to call me daddy!”
“Stay away from my ingredients.”
Resource points around the world often had similar cries. As the slaughter continued, the Aryan Association also started to counterattack.
They took off all their equipment, wearing only a pair of briefs, holding a mining pick in their hands and lay on the resource point to rob the medicinal ingredients and minerals.
When mining and foraging medicinal ingredients, there would be a 10-to-20-second casting bar above the player’s head. If attacked, the action would fail. Although the Aryan Association had gone all out, it was still not looking optimistic.
On the other hand, Autumn Love had received the financial support of Brother Windcloud Nine and Li Yi. In just ten days, the market was ruined as the supply of minerals and medicinal ingredients had been destroyed.
During the outbreak of the commercial war, players also travelled to Sky Island to challenge the new dungeon. Li Yi was not idle and had joined in. He was publicly bombarded with a stream of insults when he seized the first kill of the dungeon.
After the players successfully completed the last dungeon of the Wings of the Sky series, the God Wars Rankings was officially opened.
Numerous strong players who were on the God Wars Qualification Board came to Mount Pantheon and signed up with Jewelfina to participate in the God Wars Ranking Tournament.
Li Yi signed up for the Tournament, as did the missing Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, The Mountain, Amber Sword Heart, and the others on the first day.
The God Wars Ranking Tournament would last for 100 days. As long as one could rank within the top 100, he or she would obtain the title of God.
Although the title of God had no additional effect, the title represented a kind of glory for the players!
