Chapter 189 Inexpensive Raw Materials

Before Shi Feng even reached the White River City Bank Warehouse, the entrance was already swarming with players.

"Massive sale on raw materials! A stack of Frost Herbs for only 15 Silver, a stack of Flame Flowers for 21 Silver! First come, first served!"

"Urgent sale of Attribute Gems! Tier 1 Gems for 7 Silver Coins, Tier 2 Gems for 75 Silver Coins! Get them while you can, limited quantities!"

...

In front of the entrance, a crowd was selling various items, even Level 30 Dark-Gold equipment. Most players were around Level 33, close to Level 34, while elite players were about Level 36.

Level 30 Dark-Gold equipment was something even the elite members of large guilds could only dream of. Few people sold them on the market. Usually, the people selling such equipment were small studios with considerable strength, since ordinary teams couldn't obtain equipment of that level.

These small studios earned Gold Coins by selling these top-tier weapons and equipment. Under normal circumstances, they would directly trade Credits privately to maintain the studio's operations, unlike large guilds that had corporate investments backing them.

"These things are so cheap! I want three Tier 1 Strength Gems and one Tier 2 Agility Gem."

"Don't fight me! I want two Tier 2 Strength Gems."

"I want three stacks of Flame Flowers."

The gathered players were desperately snatching up the items, regretting that they didn't have more money to buy more. Among these players, the most numerous were merchant players and guild purchasing agents.

"Are they crazy?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be surprised by the prices he saw.

Leaving aside the herbs and ores, the price of Attribute Gems alone was shocking.

Currently, a Tier 1 Attribute Gem cost 9 Silver Coins on the market. Although it was a little cheaper than before, buying it for 7 Silver and selling it elsewhere could earn you 2 Silver. Not to mention Tier 2 Attribute Gems, whose prices had not only not decreased but had even increased slightly, with a market price of about 95 Silver Coins to 1 Gold Coin. Getting your hands on one was definitely as good as having hard currency.

After all, in his previous life, many players still had mostly Tier 1 Attribute Gems socketed into their equipment even after advancing to Tier 2 Classes. They were still struggling for a full set of Tier 2 Attribute Gems. Only guild elites or rich experts could afford to wear a full set of Tier 2 Gems. Therefore, the price of Tier 2 Gems had always remained high on the market.

Moreover, the herbs and ores being sold included many rare herbs and rare ores. It was usually difficult to buy them in large quantities, yet so many were being sold now.

Shi Feng even wondered if a large guild had gone mad, engaging in such a fire sale to collect Gold Coins.

However, the opportunity was rare, and Shi Feng didn't plan to let it go.

He could obtain cheaper Attribute Gems from the Dark Caverns, and he usually sold these Attribute Gems in the Candlelight Trading Firm's shops. However, it was different for rare herbs and rare ores.

There was no easy shortcut to obtain these items. You could only collect them bit by bit. Now that someone was willing to sell them at 20% below the market price, he would be letting down the Candlelight Trading Firm if he didn't buy them all.

So, Shi Feng also started lining up to buy.

Most players were buying only one or two stacks. Only merchant players and guild players bought more, but they mainly purchased hard currency items like Attribute Gems. Although it would take time to sell them, they could earn a lot of money. Such a good opportunity was rare.

"How many rare herbs and rare ores do you have?" When it was Shi Feng's turn, he observed the middle-aged man selling the items. His level wasn't high, only a little over Level 10, clearly a logistics player from a guild. Only guilds had such logistics players, but he couldn't find any guild emblem on these players.

"Rest assured, customer, our raw materials are very abundant. We have as much as you need," the middle-aged man said, scanning Shi Feng, who was wearing a black cloak, and revealing the smile of a merchant.

"I see. In that case, I want three thousand stacks of Icy Dew Flowers, three thousand stacks of Moonlight Grass..." Shi Feng then rattled off a large number of rare herbs and rare ores, each in quantities of three thousand stacks.

Icy Dew Flowers and Moonlight Grass were the main ingredients for making Ice Resistance Potions. In addition, Shi Feng also wanted a lot of the main ingredients for Fire Resistance Potions. With these materials, he could make a large number of Ice Resistance Potions and Fire Resistance Potions.

Once White River City developed further, the players of White River City could go to the Eclipse Gate. At that time, Ice Resistance Potions and Fire Resistance Potions would definitely be the most popular potions.

Shi Feng clearly remembered that not long after the airship to the Eclipse Gate opened in his previous life, the prices of both Ice Resistance Potions and Fire Resistance Potions had increased several times, and even the raw materials were in high demand.

Currently, White River City's development speed far exceeded that of his previous life. Shi Feng estimated that it wouldn't be long before White River City opened the airship to the Eclipse Gate. Stockpiling Ice Resistance Potions and Fire Resistance Potions now would definitely lead to a great profit.

"Sir, do you really want so many materials?" The middle-aged man looked at Shi Feng in shock when he heard the materials he wanted. This wasn't just buying materials; it was a fire sale, "So many materials can't fit in one or two people's bags. If you really want them, we need enough time to transfer them from other cities."

Even if all the rare herbs and rare ores in the warehouse were taken out, it wouldn't be enough.

"Alright, I can wait." Shi Feng acted as if it didn't matter. Anyway, he also had business to take care of in the bank warehouse. Being able to make a big profit made waiting worthwhile.

"Then please wait here for an hour. I'll arrange for the materials to be transferred right away. However, some rare materials may not be enough. Do you still want them?" The middle-aged man was all smiles when he heard Shi Feng's affirmative tone, and he said respectfully.

Selling the materials to Shi Feng alone would be worth more than the money earned from all the previous purchases of materials, weapons, and equipment.

"If it's not enough, then it's not enough. In short, I'll buy as much of these materials as you can get. To be on the safe side, let's sign a contract. I'll come back to you in an hour. If you get them ready earlier, you can also find me in the hall," Shi Feng casually produced a contract and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Of course, that's no problem. I'll have them get all these materials right away." After reading the contract, the middle-aged man signed it without saying a word and immediately began contacting people.

Shi Feng also walked into the bank warehouse's hall.

"Sir, how can I help you?" the beautiful NPC at the front desk asked with a smile.

"I'd like to enter my private warehouse. Here's the key," Shi Feng said, taking out a bronze key and handing it to the beautiful NPC.

"Sir, please follow me." The beautiful NPC's attitude became even more respectful after seeing the key.

Because the key Shi Feng took out was the key to a large warehouse, equivalent to a VIP client of the bank.

Inside the private warehouse, no player could steal even a bit of information through special means. This was also why Shi Feng rented a private warehouse.

At this time, Shi Feng carefully opened a safe. The moment the safe was opened, the air in the entire private warehouse became heavy, and endless pressure poured out from the safe. The item stored here was the Legendary item, the Holy Grail.

"This is..." Shi Feng originally wanted to take out the damaged Divine Crystal from his bag.

However, this Divine Crystal seemed to be summoned, directly flying out of the bag space and emitting a faint golden halo, hovering in front of Shi Feng. The Divine Crystal, which should have lost its power long ago, now seemed to be revived, emitting extremely strong divine might, making Shi Feng unable to move even half an inch.
