Chapter 107 Arrogance: Guild Disbands
With each transaction, his hatred for Lin Tian deepened!
It's all because of him!
It's all because of Lin Tian!
They stole my skills, killed my brothers, and now they've ruined my life and disgraced me!
I, Ye Shen, swear I will not rest until I avenge this humiliation!
He roared madly in his heart, but dared not show it on his face.
It took Ye Shen more than half an hour to finally calm down the angry members, and he almost emptied his savings.
After receiving the compensation, these people left the Aoshi Guild almost without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the once mighty Aoshi Guild, comprising two hundred members, vanished without a trace.
Only three people remained on the guild list—himself, and Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing, who had always followed him.
Ye Shen slumped dejectedly on the steps of the respawn point, his eyes lifeless.
Zhang Hong sighed, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Shen...think positively, as long as you're alive..."
Zhang Jing whispered words of comfort, "Yes, Brother Shen, as long as you and Brother Hong are still here, we can make a comeback..."
"A comeback?"
Ye Shen suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with resentment.
"How can we make a comeback? We've lost all our money, our reputation, and our lives! All of this is thanks to Lin Tian!"
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood without him even noticing.
"Lin Tian! I, Ye Shen, swear to the heavens! The humiliation you suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future! I will make you pay the price! I will!"
The mad and venomous curse echoed low above the resurrection point, yet seemed exceptionally pale and powerless.
Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness and worry in each other's eyes.
They knew Ye Shen was blinded by hatred. Going to seek revenge on that monstrous Lin Tian? What difference was there between that and suicide?
But at this moment, they didn't know how to persuade them.
......
Meanwhile, Lin Tian had already put the little incident outside the city behind him.
Having cleared his red name, he rode the Blazing White Tiger with Celia by his side, and entered Sunset City unimpeded under the gazes of countless players who were either in awe, envious, or curious.
The city remained bustling, teeming with people.
Lin Tian first arrived at his own No. 1 store, located near the Hall of Fame.
Upon seeing his boss arrive, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a beaming smile: "Boss, you're back!"
"Hmm, how's business?" Lin Tian flipped off the tiger, and Celia landed lightly as well.
"Thanks to the boss, business is pretty good!" the shopkeeper quickly reported.
"Several pieces of the high-grade equipment and materials you left behind have been sold. Here are the detailed accounts and profits."
Lin Tian took the ledger from the shopkeeper and quickly glanced through it.
Over this period of time, the shop has only earned less than 5 gold coins in total.
At this stage, most players are still struggling to afford a few silver coins for potions. Those who can afford to spend a few gold coins to buy equipment are either the main force of major guilds or extremely lucky lone wolves.
After a while, as everyone's levels increase, the rewards will definitely get higher and higher!
He checked the store's acquisition list again, hoping for a pleasant surprise.
Unfortunately, they acquired very little, only four basic skill books of grade E.
The Warrior's skill [Heavy Strike], the Assassin's skill [Backstab], and the Archer's skills [Trap] and [Double Arrow] are all basic F-rank active skills, and there are no passive skills that he is more interested in.
Fortunately, none of them overlapped with his current skills, and Lin Tian could learn them all after using his talent to improve them.
Lin Tian then spent 4 upgrade points to upgrade all 4 skills to E-grade, and then chose to learn all of them.
Why not upgrade it to a higher rank?
There's no need for it. Lin Tian doesn't lack offensive skills right now, and he can upgrade them later when needed.
"That's true. If someone has something good, they'll learn it themselves or keep it to exchange for resources with their guild. They wouldn't easily sell it."
Lin Tian shook his head and returned the account book to the shopkeeper.
"Good job. Keep buying. You can price it slightly higher than the market price, and focus on rare skills, special items, and high-level materials."
"Understood, boss!" the shopkeeper replied respectfully.
After leaving Shop No. 1, Lin Tian went to Shop No. 2, which was located near the teleportation plaza. The situation was similar, with meager profits and nothing particularly remarkable about the items he acquired.
After tallying the profits from the two shops, Lin Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the mountain of B-rank and A-rank equipment and high-level materials still piled up in his backpack.
Selling them piecemeal in the store results in slow returns and takes up too many backpack slots.
On a whim, he opened his friends list and found Zhang Tianya, the leader of the [Battle Alliance], and Li Weiwei, the leader of the [Blood Romance], whom he had just added.
Lin Tian first sent a message to Zhang Tianya:
"President Zhang, busy? I'm clearing out my inventory and I have a batch of unused B-rank and A-rank equipment and high-level materials. I was wondering if your guild would be interested in buying them?"
Almost immediately after the message was sent, Zhang Tianya replied in a warm tone:
"Brother Lin Tian! Haha, no rush! You've got some really good stuff! Our alliance is certainly interested! Is it a large quantity? What's the price?"
"The quantity is not small, mostly B-grade high-quality items around level 20-30, with a small amount of A-grade and a bunch of high-level forging and enchanting materials," Lin Tian replied. "As for the price, it's negotiable, definitely cheaper than the market price."
"That's great!" Zhang Tianya's voice was filled with excitement.
"Brother Lin Tian, how about this? President Weiwei and I happen to be in the city. Why don't we find a place to sit down and talk it over?"
"I know there's a restaurant called 'Zui Xian Lou' in the central square; their food and drinks are absolutely amazing."
Lin Tian also wanted to get rid of this batch of inventory, so he readily agreed: "Sure, then I'll trouble Chairman Zhang."
"Haha, you're too kind, brother! I'll set the location right away! I'll send you the coordinates right away!" Zhang Tianya said swiftly and decisively.
Almost simultaneously, Li Weiwei's message popped up, her tone coquettish:
"Brother Lin Tian~ Don't just think about that rough guy, Chairman Zhang, when you get something good!"
"Our Crimson Romance sisters also need powerful gear to arm themselves! Do you have any good items suitable for mages, priests, and assassins? Prices are negotiable~"
Lin Tian smiled and replied:
"I was just about to contact you, President Weiwei. There are quite a few items, from all sorts of professions. President Zhang has arranged to meet at Zuixianlou Restaurant; why don't you come along too?"
"Wow! Drunken Immortal Pavilion! Zhang Tianya certainly knows how to pick a place! Wait for me, little brother, I'm coming right away! Make sure to save me some good stuff!"
Li Weiwei replied very quickly.
