Chapter 635 - His Order Was a Little Too Big (1/2)
After the Grand Tournament ended, billions and billions of players were waiting for the Currency Exchange System to launch. As soon as it went online, countless players stormed to the bank in the cities, wanting to experience the convenient system first hand.
Currency Exchange…
This system allowed the players to convert their ingame gold coins to real money via the banks. They could also convert real money into in-game gold coins, boosting their in-game financial abilities to help them purchase better equipment or items that they couldn't buy earlier.
These two services were welcomed by players with open arms.
However, the people who chose the former were apparently fewer.
As the in-game gold coins and the real world currency were tied together, there was no need to convert all their in-game gold into real-world money unless the players were badly needing cash.
In just a few hours, an obscene amount of gold coins appeared in the market. Inflation ran high in the market as the price of high tier equipment soared.
***
There was no other Trading Hall that had more business than Casanova's Trading Hall.
It was only half a day since the Currency Exchange System went online. Yet, most of the two billion equipment that Casanova had stocked up earlier were being bought one by one.
Dark Gold, Legendary Tier equipment were all swept away like a hurricane. This was unheard of before.
Over two thousand Dark Gold and Legendary equipment, with less-than-ideal stats and attributes, were also sold out in minutes.
Even the four priceless Divinity Crystals, each costing millions of gold coins, were also sold right away.
The Divinities were sold out!
This terrifying wave of shopping spree shocked Casanova and his employees. Therefore, Casanova quickly held an emergency meeting on the third floor of the Trading Hall.
”Quick!”
Casanova looked at hundreds of his employees and ordered hastily, ”Contact your suppliers. Tell them to come over to our Trading Hall immediately when they have got what we need!”
”We're going to hold the Grand Auction tomorrow!”
”We should not sell off those stocks that are meant to be auctioned off. Some people had even offered prices for them. So, we can't sell them off. Now, I'm depending on all of you to handle the crisis for the rest of the day! Get our store stocked up by all means! Understood?”
”Sir, yes sir!”
Casanova's business was doing fairly well. Therefore, these employees too enjoyed better pay. The wide connections that they had been developing amongst the players in the game were all to handle a crisis like this.
After giving his men the orders, Casanova didn't allow himself to relax either. Suppressing the excitement of seeing the number of trades skyrocketing, he sent a private message to someone.
”League Master?”
”Oh, Casanova! My brother! What other good deals do you have for me today?”
After receiving the priceless Ring of Vengeance from Casanova, Qin Ruo had never forgotten this great deal since. As Casanova's private message reached him, Qin Ruo replied gaily right away. His voice sounded almost like he was singing.
Casanova replied with a bitter smile.
”Brother Qin, I'm at my wits end here. Please save me!”
”Huh?”
Surprised, Qin Ruo inquired, ”Save you? Now that's new. Don't tell me you're being targeted by some thugs when you tried to exit the city gates. No one would dare to hurt you.”
”Oh, don't jest. We're so busy with the Trading Hall that I've got no time to leave the city. Ah, yes! Do you still have some unwanted Dark Gold or Legendary gears with you?”
”Sure, I have a few with me. What's wrong? You're still lacking some pieces for your Grand Auction?”
”I'll be frank with you. It's quite embarrassing, really. But I'm confident with your capabilities…”
Then, Casanova quickly explained the entire dilemma he was facing right now—the soaring amount of trades they were experiencing right now and also the fact that their stocks were running dry.
Accessories.
High-grade Monster eggs.
Dark Gold Capes.
Legendary Equipment.
Mana Cores.
Embedded Stones.
Everything was sold out. It felt as though someone had planned this.
Then…
As soon as they were sold, these items started to show up in the market—and they were sold at a higher price. And yet, many players were buying from them in droves.
