Chapter 189 The Frenzied Market
Just after Eric went offline, the post he made on the official website went viral instantly.
Word spread like wildfire, and players, driven by curiosity, looked forward to the unfolding scene.
The guilds that had asked Eric for leveling guides were furious.
"Go get me all the information on this idiot. Not only do I want to kill him, but I also want to eliminate all his friends. He dares to humiliate our Ten Thousand Ghosts' Eternal Rest like this; he has no chance to survive this time." The Boss of Ten Thousand Ghosts' Eternal Rest, White Bones Eternal Sleep, was furious after hearing the report from his subordinates. Although Ten Thousand Ghosts' Eternal Rest was not a top-tier guild, it was still a large guild with over five thousand members.
"Boss, I've already done the job." An Elementalist said.
"Speak, what do you get!" The Boss of Ten Thousand Ghosts' Eternal Rest, White Bones Eternal Sleep, roared angrily.
"That Kai Blackthorn is a solo player. He has about eight confirmed teammates. Additionally, he has a good relationship with Thornheart, the professional team leader of Assassin's Alliance, and there are rumors that he is close to Ice Goddess Isabella." The Elementalist said.
White Bones Eternal Sleep fell silent.
He was well known for what Thornheart of Assassin's Alliance and Isabella represented; he would never lie a finger on them.
"Forget it, I'm a magnanimous person. Let's just kill Kai Blackthorn and his teammates to avoid others gossiping about our guild." White Bones Eternal Sleep said righteously.
"Yes, Boss, you're wise!"
Meanwhile, other guilds that didn't know much about Eric also started investigating him, preparing to deal with him properly once they entered Silvervale City.
On the official forum, players were discussing it heatedly, thinking that a century battle in Silvervale City was about to begin.
[Kai Blackthorn is too bold; isn't it obvious he is challenging all the guilds?]
[He's really overestimating himself. Who does he think he is? He is not these guilds' match.]
[You don't know anything. Kai Blackthorn is a god-level expert. He previously crushed a guild like Martial Alliance, leaving them helpless and even driving them out of Willowbrook Town. Now, facing so many guilds, he's still incredibly strong. So cool!]
[If it were me, I could do it too. Don't forget, that was in a small town where the guilds' strengths were scattered. How many people are there in a small town? Of course, it was easy for Kai Blackthorn to defeat them.]
There were many players discussing on the forum, but they were not optimistic about Eric's outcome, and they felt stunned by his bold behavior.
Just when the conversation unfolded, the Silvervale City guide post that Eric had scheduled was released, causing an even bigger stir.
The Silvervale City guide was undoubtedly what all the major guilds needed most at the moment. Additionally, some level 9 solo players also needed it. With the Silvervale City guide, they wouldn't have to spend a lot of time exploring; they could just look at the information.
Compared to the exorbitant one billion credit point leveling guide, the 20,000 credit point luxury edition of the Silvervale City guide was undoubtedly very cheap, almost a bargain. There was also a cheaper simplified version, sold for only 300 credit points, a price that was easily acceptable to both guilds and players.
However, worried that Eric might be scamming them, most guilds chose to buy a simplified version first.
After all, they could afford to lose 300 credit points.
As for players who wanted to make a name for themselves in Divine Realms: Legends, they were also very curious about the enchanting city of Silvervale City and wanted to get a sneak peek. Many players gritted their teeth and bought a simplified version.
In just half an hour, the simplified version of the Silvervale City guide sold like a bestseller, with sales climbing uncontrollably, surpassing 5,000 purchases before anyone realized it.
This meant Eric had instantly earned 1.5 million credit points, showing many players the potential for profit.
Players who had been worried about making money in Divine Realms: Legends were now reassured because of Eric.
'Getting rich overnight in Divine Realms: Legends is not a dream; as long as you can seize the opportunity, just like Eric being the first to enter Silvervale City.' They shared a new sense.
Eric's success excited many players outside of Silvercrest Dominion. They thought that if they were the first to enter their respective cities, they could write a city guide and make a fortune.
This drove all the players in Divine Realms: Legends crazy, as if possessed, they started leveling up frantically, all wanting to be the first to enter their city, make big money, get rich overnight, and live a life of luxury.
Meanwhile, in the trade market of Eldoria, the demand for Whetstone of Precision skyrocketed to the top. Any blacksmith with a success rate of over 30% in making Whetstone of Precision became highly sought after by major guilds, with their treatment and salaries continuously rising, almost comparable to urban white-collar workers.
The result was that more players wanted to become blacksmiths, and forging materials was essential to this profession. Coupled with the already tight materials market, this was like a spark falling into a haystack, instantly igniting a raging fire that spread across Eldoria.
The price of forging materials kept rising, leading to a frenzy in the market.
By the time Eric logged into Divine Realms: Legends in the evening, a stack of 20 sturdy stones had already sold for the exorbitant price of 8 silver coins, and even then, they were in short supply. Additionally, the most common copper ore, a stack of 200, was selling for 15 silver coins.
"How luck I am! I never thought the Silvervale City guide would make the materials market so hot." Eric was extremely happy at this moment.
During the day, besides working out, Eric went to the city center to look for a suitable place to set up a studio. His requirements were simple: a good environment in an office building.
After checking out more than a dozen places, Eric finally found a good one in the city center. It was an entire floor, covering an area of 1.24 acres, which was very large and could easily accommodate a studio for hundreds of people. The surrounding environment was good, and the transportation was very convenient. Most importantly, it was close to Polaris Reach, the best fitness center in Evergreen City.
The owner wanted to sell it because of business problems and needed money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to sell such a good place.
However, the asking price was 60 million credit points, which was 12,000 credit points per square meter. This price was not expensive for the city center, but it wasn't cheap either. Eric's current savings were just over 20 million credit points, and he had big plans for the upcoming school social event. In the end, he could only ask the owner for fifteen days to consider.
After farewelling the owner, Eric returned to Divine Realms: Legends and checked the sales of the Silvervale City guide.
When he saw the astronomic number, he was stunned, thinking he was seeing things.
