Chapter 149 - Bidding War (1/2)

Full Moon Guild?

At least half of the guild leaders had no knowledge of this guild’s name. To them, the only guilds that they were familiar with were the guilds with Clubs behind them. Those were the only guilds that they recognized as adversaries. Of course, there were some that had heard of this name before. But they definitely knew that this wasn’t a guild with a Club behind it. It was only a guild created by normal players and could be considered an ordinary guild. How could this type of guild be able to s.n.a.t.c.h Lord Grim away from the encirclement of all of their big-named guilds.

All of the guild leaders were in disbelief. They each asked around to find what type of trick Full Moon Guild had pulled off.

But this turned out to be quite difficult. Guilds like Full Moon Guild clearly didn’t have any spies planted in them from big guilds. They had simply never been an opponent for them. As a result, they didn’t have any inside information and could only see if there was someone who knew a member of that guild.

There actually were a few results that came out of asking around like this. After all, Full Moon Guild wasn’t like them. When Maple Tree went to gather the parts for the Scarlet Moon set, he had shouted for it in the guild channel and used the strength of the ma.s.ses to pressure four Battle Mages into giving away one of their Scarlet Moon parts. Everyone in the guild knew of this. There wasn’t any need to hide it, so when a friend came to ask, they immediately gave a reply.

Quickly, all of the guild leaders from the big guilds found about the price tag of four Scarlet Moon parts and they all violently coughed up blood.

Four Scarlet Moon parts!

What type of fee was that! For these guilds, such a price was basically giving it to them for free. Most of the equipment dropped from Level 30 dungeons were Blue equipment sets. For something so trivial like four parts of the Scarlet Moon set, all they had to was open their mouth and they’d be able to obtain them. For the elite players from their big guilds, they could easily gather a full set of cla.s.s-specific equipment for several teams.

And with their guild’s complete set-up, if they needed a Scarlet Moon set, then the guild would by all means compensate for the provider’s losses. As a result, they could easily get the four parts with just a few words. Not like Maple Tree, who was like a child asking for his grandpa, desperately trying to get the four parts.

In short, this sort of condition was too easy for these guilds. How could they let Full Moon Guild get away with such a steal? The guild leaders were no longer calm. Many of them began sending Lord Grim more enticing offers.

“Brother, how about a full Scarlet Moon set?”

“A Scarlet Moon set AND a Level 30 Purple Bright Lance!”

“Two Scarlet Moon sets! One for you and another one for free!”

The offers were endless. In any case, they were all better than four parts of a Scarlet Moon set. Ye Xiu didn’t rush and patiently replied back to each of them. Among all of these, Blue River and Cold Night surprisingly hadn’t come barking.

These two had faced against Ye Xiu more than once, so they had a certain level of understanding. Four parts of a Scarlet Moon set weren’t his bargaining chips for setting a dungeon record.

Lord Grim’s starting prices had one feature. Even though they made you feel somewhat heartbroken, they wouldn’t make you feel that it wasn’t worth it. He clearly had an exceptional understanding of the game and could accurately measure his value. According to his style, four sets should be right! Four parts? What did that mean? What was his goal?

Blue River and Cold Night were both puzzling over this.

And even though the big guilds operated quite similarly, who among them knew about one another well? Although they all had spies among them, the new server had just opened, so the core of the guild was still made up of the veterans from the old servers. The newly recruited low-leveled accounts couldn’t be trusted too much. All of the guild leaders knew this.

However, even with all of their precautions, there were still a few spies among their upper-ranks. These sort of spies weren’t new recruits from the new server. They were already spies in the old server and had signed up to pioneer in the new server. These types of people were already among the guild’s elites in the new servers and were quite powerful.

At this moment, only these deep spies would be able to tell their guild information on other guild’s movements. But there weren’t many of these types of spies. On Blue River’s side, he only had one spy with such authority. That spy was in Guild Samsara.

Guild Samsara was the guild backed by Club Samsara. Team Samsara was a mighty team in the recent years. Their team’s ace Zhou Zekai was currently Glory’s most popular player. Quite a few experts and fans expected a great future for Team Samsara. Thus, they were a strong opponent for them. They would not only be enemies in the Alliance, but in the game too.

“Samsara has offered four cla.s.s-specific sets!!” The spy messaged Blue River.

“With the way he does things, this should be the limit.” Blue River said.

“It should be. But this time, he rejected it…….” The spy said.

“His reason?” Blue River asked.

“He already agreed that he’d help Full Moon Guild.” The spy said.

“Tch! He obviously knew that we would ask for him to set a dungeon record at level 30. How could he agree to Full Moon Guild’s four Scarlet Moon parts?” Blue River said.

“Do you think he has an ulterior motive?”

“Definitely.” Blue River said.

“I heard that Misty Castle and Blossom Valley have also offered the same price.”

‘How do you know?” This information wasn’t something that could be easily found. The only reason Blue River could find it was because of the spy he had in Samsara Guild.
