Chapter 284: Chapter 285: The Exchange in the Central City

"He is on the top of his game right now. You know how young people love the spotlight,"

"For the ages, red as blood, what will your two guilds do? Haha, have you both been destroyed by that Night Ghost kid, ready to start from scratch?"

"Yeah, what else can we do? I’m so annoyed just thinking about it. Elevating World to level 6 consumed a lot of our resources. Now that the ratio of purchasing Gold Coins is so frightening, the amount of money invested will only increase."

"Haha, take care not to get destroyed again by Night Ghost after you rise."

"How could that be? Our World has no feud with him. We were destroyed because Night Ghost wanted to level up his guild mission and set his target on us. Since we lost, we had to accept it. This is Night Ghost’s ability. I have no qualms about him regarding this matter."

"You seem to take it pretty well."

"It’s not about taking it well. Put yourself in my shoes, if I were Night Ghost, I would do the same!"

"Alright, enough about him. Let’s talk about the World Auction."

"It’s quite strange. Why is Red Queen preparing the World Auction?" an old man wondered.

"Haha, if you could guess what the central brain of Red Queen is thinking, you would be God. So, we can only follow the trend!" an old man in the main seat chortled.

"So, you mean we should start buying Gold Coins now?"

"Definitely. In the World Auction, every item up for auction is extraordinary and bound to catch our eyes. We have to start preparing while Red Queen hasn’t released this news yet!"

"What Old Li said makes sense!"

After leaving the Advanced War Academy, Chu You wandered the streets. He initially wanted to go straight back to the fortress, but for some reason, he decided to take a stroll in Central City.

The Central City now had more than just one player, having attracted players from all nations.

Central City is quite unique since players from the seven kingdoms can teleport here from their capitals. But to do so, they need to pay a teleportation fee of 10 Gold Coins, which is a lot for the average person, discouraging visits without a special reason.

As to how those two female working-class players arrived here, perhaps it was a string of coincidences.

Since players from the seven kingdoms were able to come here, were they able to trade too? Naturally.

According to his memory of his past life, Chu You arrived at ’Prosperous Street’. This place used to be the trading hub for players from the seven kingdoms. Nobody knows when it first emerged or who initiated it, but this street had become a marketplace for players. However, no one wanted to spend 10 Gold Coins and a lot of time buying red noble equipment here, so all the things sold in the market were platinum and above. Skill Books were somewhat the exception. In short, the price of the items sold at the players’ market started from 5,000 Gold Coins.

But now, aside from some NPCs, there weren’t any players on the street, which seemed a bit ’empty’.

Just as he was walking and thinking, Chu You stopped in front of a medium-sized shop, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He saw a sign hanging in front of the shop: Shop for Sale, Negotiable Price!

Every inch of land in Central City is valuable, and the pre-existing residents are of great pride, their backgrounds are not simple. It’s not easy for players to get a piece of land here, unlike in their home kingdoms where they can bribe officials to forcefully demolish residential buildings.

It was always important to seize the opportunity. This had become one of the mantras for the reborn Chu You!

Chu You stepped forward and walked into the shop.

The shop was quite large, empty with no products. Chu You went in, looked around, and ascended to the second floor. There, he saw a middle-aged man sitting alone on a chair covered in dust, staring into space.

"Uh... sorry to disturb," said Chu You from the staircase entrance.

The middle-aged man jolted, his vacant eyes suddenly brightening. He stood up and looked at Chu You, dressed in a noble robe, with some surprise, "Who are you?"

"Who else could I be? Someone who’s buying your shop. I am Night Ghost."

"Oh, I see. Nice to meet you." The middle-aged man quickly got up, a smile appearing on his face.

After shaking hands, the middle-aged man said with a bit of embarrassment, "I apologize for the mess; it’s been a while since I’ve cleaned."

"Not a problem. We can just speak while standing. How are you planning to sell your shop?"

"Sigh, if it wasn’t for the calamity that befell my old home, I would never consider selling this inherited store, no matter what... Ah, let’s not dwell on that." The middle-aged man displayed a reluctance in his eyes. It was evident that he truly cherished this shop in the central city.

He held up two fingers towards Chu You, but he struggled to verbalize what he was thinking and couldn’t speak immediately.

"Twenty million Gold Coins?"

The middle-aged man immediately lowered his fingers and gave an awkward yet polite smile. He hurriedly replied, "No, no, no. Even though this was an ancestral heritage, it is not that valuable. The price is actually 2 million Gold Coins, young man."

"I am a straightforward person. If you say it’s this much, then it is this much. Consider it a deal for 2 million Gold Coins." Chu You agreed to the price without any bargaining. Soon, they happily concluded the transaction. From now on, this mid-sized shop located on ’Prosperous Street’ in Huaxia’s central city officially belonged to Chu You!

Now Chu You was the owner, and the middle-aged man had become a guest.

"I sincerely wish you a prosperous future!" Although the middle-aged man was somewhat regretful, he still gave his sincere blessings.

Chu You thanked him, then saw the middle-aged man off.

Looking at the messy and empty shop, Chu You decided to build his Guild Exchange here!

It was a good idea. With this, players from the seven nations who came here could buy, sell, or request goods from his Exchange. Indeed, wealth was rolling in! Because Chu You’s Guild Exchange would become the one and only hub connecting the seven major nations, allowing players from two far-separated nations to complete trades with each other through his Exchange.

However, when he wanted to set it up, he encountered a minor issue – he needed to handle some formalities at the city commerce authority’s office.

It seemed that in his previous life, the players who could afford to open stores in the central city were not simple. Chu You thought this as he headed toward his destination.

"What? You want to open a Space Exchange?" The director of the Commerce Management Office was incredibly surprised. He initially thought Chu You was planning on opening some sort of clothing or weapon shop, never expecting it to be a Space Exchange.

"Yes, a Space Exchange!" Chu You was slightly amused – such a grand title!

"The Central City is neutral and very accommodating and friendly to everyone in Huaxia. All seven nations could do business here, but to establish a Space Exchange would require a large amount of Mana from our Space Grandmaster, so the fee for this would be..."

"Just tell me the amount."

"7 million Gold Coins!"

"That’s fine."

In the end, Chu You obtained the authorization to establish a Space Exchange here, costing him 7 million Gold Coins.

When he left, Chu You seemed to laugh ruefully at himself. This trip had cost him almost... 2 million for the maid, 7 million for Xiao Jun, 2 million for the shop, and 7 million for the permit – a total of 18 million Gold Coins...

His original 760 million had now dwindled to 726 million. His previous recruitment of the Battle Demon Princess and construction of attack devices had also drained a lot of Gold Coins.

After obtaining the authorization, Chu You returned to his shop and renovated it into a luxurious Guild Exchange.

With this, all goods within the Exchange would be available to players from the seven nations who came here!

Simultaneously, all players from the seven nations could sell their own goods through his Exchange, making their goods accessible throughout seven nations.

It’s worth mentioning that the players within Yan Kingdom, upon opening the Guild Exchange, would also be able to see the goods sold by players from the other six nations, as well as purchase request information. This was astounding!

His Guild Exchange would greatly enhance its competitiveness and, in due course, would gain the recognition of all players!

If I have what you don’t have, and I also have what you have, this is the essence of competitive advantage.
