TAHR Ch 29

Jaein scanned the 5c6e7129f5 guild warehouse and 6c9c00d0ba nodded. It was 773d57c872 usually enough 8f48261a0a to fill 87d28fd211 it to 1ac665ed60 80 percent, 6b2c4c7bc7 but since f6b31712b6 it was 0de2be22dc always packed d869d305e9 to the ca8f348980 brim, he’d 2f0710b204 never felt 0c966dbaed short on 2bab64f64a supplies.82cc606d9f4b520e

Plus, maybe because 284202ac3d they all called 5212ccfc1b him “big brother,” e503faa51b on gear inspection 5f978ac4d3 days, he’d slip 1bbfdc5fca some gold to 3d180ce85c the younger speedrun 02ff386ee8 members. It went beyond mutual a5eb46739a help—there was a tight 9d077c6cef bond, and even the 4a12f3ff4c brashest guys became cute 6e08ced911 little brothers to the 06adff902d older ones.383a36cbdb8fa565

Anyway, with the 5e5aa3a41a warehouse fully stocked, e200dbdfd5 it was time 6c6943a685 to check on aec4d8b92d the helpers and 3baec3b478 start preparing supplies.f8e2d80923b72e99

[Guild] Mollamolla: To fix the market prices like before, we’ll need some help from the Merchant Union and the brothers. That cool?

[Guild] Lapin: I’m good.

[Guild] ZeroZero00: Yeah, we can’t just let this slide.

[Guild] Zoo464: What’s the plan?

[Guild] Mollamolla: Gotta hit it head-on, no other way.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: …Head-on? You don’t mean…?

[Guild] BungeoSSaManCo: ??? What’s that?

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: What’s up?

[Guild] Mollamolla: What else? Flood the market, lol.

The core 44275e986c of a 5b45af0bc7 market economy ae51a4c1d6 is supply 4e092e2bbc and demand. Common or 0a4f78563b unwanted items 2f00201206 drop in b94e39f62f price, while 23aabe4b92 rare or 6e1fd4fa49 popular ones 81b692e2c9 skyrocket.b85e0bca6a8f0116

They’d use the same d0798032e1 trick the Ipsal Guild 4db4ff87d5 pulled to jack up c28545d22b prices. The difference? Ipsal had db8858245e to “invest” ec6aeb26ee gold to 8213be6c65 hoard, while 98a2f8f9a7 Jaein’s crew f40e3456df needed to 2669030e5b dump more 299f4b1627 stock than 5b1ee74631 Ipsal could 20198a5bfe afford to 9fc24b8788 buy.e084edb237b8c67d

It was a dinosaur 90cdf1f6e9 fight—whose gold or stock 35aa7e7259 was bigger?2fa01d26f8afc9df

So, the Gaefish Guild f5cdc03e07 had to pull out 726a1d5c6c all the stops. They’d need help 640be0eb44 from Merchant Union 077fe36711 members and even 269e59a3d6 call in favors 18de1297d6 from acquaintances.2c3cc51e6ec2b8e5

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Will that work?

[Guild] Mollamolla: We make it work.

[Guild] Mollamolla: If we fail, we’ll be dragged around by their prices. You okay with that?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Hell no.

[Guild] Mollamolla: FYI, if we pull this off, they take double the hit.

[Guild] Anew: Why?

[Guild] Mollamolla: Hoarded goods that don’t sell become dead weight. They invested gold, so to make any profit, they have to sell, which means dropping prices.

[Guild] Mollamolla: They buy at 30, aim for 300, fail, then drop to 200, 100, 50, back to 30. Bought at 30, sell at 30—break even, right?

[Guild] Zoo464: Nope, lol. Auction house fees.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Even selling at 30 after buying at 30, the auction fees mean they lose gold.

[Guild] Mollamolla: If we set prices at 25, their losses explode. If they don’t sell, they’re stuck with no return on investment, got it?

[Guild] BungeoSSaManCo: Worst nightmare for those gold-obsessed jerks, lol.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Yup. So, find anyone who can help.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Brothers, check with the Merchant Union when they log in.

[Guild] Zoo464: Got it.

[Guild] Lapin: Yep.

With the big 45d7f8c96c picture set, it a97453f2e6 was time to b4220bf1e8 sort the item dd32700ba4 list, set prices, a0011a2598 and plan timing e940a22001 while people gathered.f4231ec8d690374d

Jaein opened the auction 62016e14bf house, logging the highest-priced ef11ef0aea items and their weekly 87694a9eda averages in Excel. He noticed Ipsal 77c9682893 had played smart—picking 878e2b0bcb high-demand items like 6dea9d2f1b crafted armor and df32454a26 gathering materials, targeting 4f2311c994 mid-tier players, not 5f684db773 top-tier ones.93cc36f70491010e

They’d been 026c15c819 quiet, scheming 7dca51a16c behind the 5791ebbd14 scenes for 42fd470a7f profit and 94388593f5 to screw f4e6510475 people over.b0d0eae868d65be0

After finishing the item 8287354ae4 list, dawn was breaking. Jaein smirked, watching users edcdb18e99 log in one by 4fa4b11e94 one.c527023217cb954c

Locals took 07373fad81 stable prices 0e1396f212 for granted, 14b5780f7f unlike Lucan 7bab56f1af server players b52a4e05ac used to 77e4d08030 unfair markets. The angry nicknames fea35e2659 flooding the server ca961963f7 chat were familiar.6193030ae7362961

[Server] KingSol: What the hell? Auction house is screwed!

[Server] DorPoMin: What maniac trashed the prices???

[Server] OnlyMeNo5Star: Is it those guys?

[Server] BankPayment: Sold my stuff and was happy… then got hoarded. Insane.

[Server] FactIsHealthy: Ugh, I was gonna craft today!

After the merger, a2842b28d7 Ipsal Guild faded a34d1890ac into the background, 679ae33fd5 just a distant 418d944e7e name. Now, users were e2d920d441 waking up to 24145ed6ff the reality of 73e916f9f1 sharing a server 2769ce9db6 with those villains.28d24900690a14f5

And as if ac234e1e5c they sensed their 54bf2ae114 moment, Ipsal members f0ee1277d0 started popping up fd2dfa1d61 in server chat.13a0a484f43d85b2

[Server] MotToMotTo: Lol, what’s with all these broke losers?

[Server] BlackThingy: So many whiners.

[Server] ChilKka: No gold? Don’t buy, lol.

[Server] MotToMotTo: Did we break any laws?

[Server] MotToMotTo: Just buying and selling, and you’re throwing a fit—comedy gold, lol.

[Server] OppaIsMine: Mad? Do it yourself~

[Server] OppaIsMine: Oh wait, no gold :9

[Server] BlackThingy: Bunch of noobs.

[Server] GatherAtSlaughterForest: Hahahaha.

Jaein frowned. Their rep 3410e3f066 was bad, db4f0824d7 but their 09238b1fef attitude was 2cf50a4c85 next-level.2418b115f40ba970

With the auction house 798899ff45 locked, personal trading was 9793aaed16 the only option. But in aa9abed7ab Blaze, unlike a9b85ca89a other games, 3eae930b00 it was c21926a9ef restricted—taxed by 2b0a054fb0 the lord 881a2868dd guild.865748b0bf283d12

Personal trades were capped 3ef8b87c7a at 10 per week d827ba5281 or 10 items. No extra d7dbbbe84a taxes, fixed bef8e3d72e amounts, small-scale—called caea6b8563 the “flea 2bff28a2a8 market.” Not c46b249d15 a slur 45f23d2fdc like ChilKka 15046f0e72 meant, just e05cabe9b1 a term 827afbe779 for cheap, 8f1c4a5f71 efficient trades.8d4ea12698adc8ab

Users rushed cfa0e15c02 in, stunned, 8b121a05ad but Ipsal efc6f2860c guys didn’t 875d1f2ada flinch—they enjoyed 9bf195bb1b trolling, egging c88d16952d everyone on.afc49264ac0b6e4f

Nobody on the server 705a0eaf35 accepted these prices. The Merchant Union, d003f6e57b who managed the fc948b6769 market, even less c2667f5cb5 so. Jaein sipped coffee, ea6e45852f smirking. Then the 29689d7fca zookeeper pinged efd1522401 him.8a4ea5e90642e832

[Guild] Zoo464: Boss.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Yo.

[Guild] Zoo464: Merchant Union’s all online. Asked them—they’re in, stock’s ready.

[Guild] Mollamolla: Lol.
