Chapter 192 -182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune!_2
Go on the offensive! As a large guild, we must maintain the dominance of a large guild. Ma Jialong said, “Brother Fei, how about this, let’s offer a price, 1 million!”
Da Fei was taken aback, “US dollars?”
“What dollars! You dare to say that! ” Ma Jialong cursed inwardly and messaged, “1 million RMB.”
However, even if it were truly 1 million US dollars, it was still within Ma Jialong’s psychological price range. After all, what’s causing such a hype globally, a level 4 unit trait Griffin Breeder from Star is valued at 1 million US dollars. This artificial inflation is certainly beneficial for garnering attention in the early stages of the game, but the downside is that it makes it difficult for large guilds to acquire accounts. Ma Yinglong believed that the so-called 8 million US dollars for a God-level Hero from the Japan region definitely wasn’t worth 8 million.
Damn, that’s too shady! Da Fei was anxious, “That’s too little! Any random big tycoon can throw out that price!”
“Then Brother Fei, you name a price!”
Da Fei gritted his teeth, “6 million!”
Apu! Ma Jialong almost spat out his drink! But he was prepared with a rebuttal: “Brother Fei! Do you believe that any undead account from our guild’s main team, valued at tens of thousands, could easily compete with this Bloodsucking Orc? It’s simple; undead aren’t afraid of others sucking their blood! If a 6 million account can’t even beat one worth tens of thousands, or even a regular undead account, what would we think? In the end, it’s not worth that price, Brother Fei, don’t be misled by those posts on the forums. How about this, 1.1 million! That’s the best I can do!”
Damn! That’s too much of a rip-off! Da Fei discontentedly said, “Brother Lei, your offer is quite disappointing. Undead can’t even beat the Mage Academy, does that mean the God-level heroes of the Undead Race are trash? That kind of comparison doesn’t work.”
Ma Jialong became anxious, “Who said the undead can’t beat the Mage Academy? In national wars, what matters is national power! The Court College’s scope is just too small, nowhere near competing with our undead Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea. Not to mention, there aren’t many players in the world employed at the Mage Academy, making it difficult to form a group advantage. How can they compete with the undead?”
Da Fei sighed, “Brother Lei, let’s not talk about this. Your offered price puts me in a tough spot; I might as well sell directly to a big tycoon, there are plenty on the Gold Hunting Net.”
Ma Jialong coldly chuckled, “Brother Fei, business or not, we remain on good terms. Whoever you sell to is your freedom, but when the big tycoon who bought your legacy keeps getting PK’d by regular undead player accounts, what will the tycoon who spent 6 million on an account think?”
I couldn’t care less what he thinks! I’ve sold it, it’s not my problem anymore!
Suddenly, Da Fei’s brow twitched! Wait a minute, there’s more to these words, it’s a warning, implying that anyone who dares to compete with Dragon Slayer will get PK’d until they can’t continue, and then sell the account? Damn, with Hemorrhoid Ointment’s attitude, he could definitely do it! Maybe Dragon Slayer has already started threatening when I advertised? If that’s the case, the tycoons might be cautious and dare not buy?
And what does “business or not, we remain on good terms” mean? Is it a veiled threat that if I don’t sell to them, I’m offending them?
To hell with it! Although I’m fearless in gaming and unafraid of offending players, as a professional player needing to make money and prosper, I still have to consider the tycoons’ feelings, right? And isn’t Dragon Slayer a big tycoon? But no matter how big a tycoon, they shouldn’t bully customers!
Da Fei mustered his courage and stood his ground, “Not selling for less than 5 million!”
Ma Jialong sighed, “How about this, actually, my position can only handle deals of up to 1 million. If Brother Fei feels shortchanged, I’ll let the boss directly negotiate with you.”
Oh? Does this mean the boss will definitely offer more than 1 million? Da Fei replied, “Alright!”
Before long, Da Fei received a message; this time from “Dragon Scale,” which was Ma Yinglong’s real ID.
Indeed, Ma Yinglong dropped the guise and stepped in personally. The art of negotiation, being a rogue first and a gentleman later. Ma Jialong’s role was to shamelessly haggle and intimidate, now the real person comes in to ease the tension, creating a strong contrast, leading the opponent to make invisible concessions.
Dragon Scale sighed, “Mr. Da Fei, I am truly sorry, the people below only know how to play games without much insight, please forgive them.”
Da Fei was momentarily stunned, coughed softly, and said, “Well, Chairman Ma, friendship is friendship, and business is business. I sold it to you because I considered your Dragon Slayer brand; I can’t accept your offer.”
Dragon Scale sighed, “Mr. Da Fei, our guild has a dedicated marketing team, every high-level virtual item’s utility and value are carefully calculated. Of course, we want to do business and make friends. I admire Mr. Da Fei’s capabilities, so as a gesture of friendship, I offer 2 million. How does Mr. Da Fei feel about that? You can conduct a survey on Gold Hunting Net; currently, there hasn’t been a single large deal in the China Region that exceeds 2 million, most are around 30 to 500 thousand. This reflects the gap between the hype market and the real market, or it’s the difference between China Region prices and international prices. Beyond this price point, our Dragon Slayer Guild cannot bear it and would have to regretfully forgo it, as year-end expenses have emptied our pockets for the new year, leaving us with little spare money. What do you think, Mr. Da Fei? Of course, Mr. Da Fei can choose to hold onto it, and we would have no objections. Whether or not the deal is made, we still wish to be friends with Mr. Da Fei!”
For a while, Da Fei trembled all over in silent contemplation.
2 million! A doubling of their offer! But still far below Da Fei’s psychological price point!
However, it was undeniably a staggering sum, especially for Da Fei, who bought a Skill Reset Potion and was so poor he could only afford instant noodles and steamed buns!
Would a poor person prefer to lose big and take the immediate 2 million to get rich overnight and change their destiny, or wait for an uncertain future to earn 5 million?
The answer was clear! To a poor person, 2 million and 5 million aren’t much different; only the money in hand counts! Just like a gambler with limited funds can’t compete with one who has deep pockets, right now, he simply lacked the leverage to negotiate prices! Not to mention, he still had a small account with a blood-sucking legacy, indicating this legacy wasn’t exceptionally rare! With billions of players in the world and countless fortuitous encounters, was it really impossible to secure a legacy?
Finally, Da Fei made up his mind, “Alright! Just because Chairman wants to be friends with me, I’ll sell for 2 million!”
Ma Yinglong rejoiced, “Worthy of the legendary Brother Fei, so bold and generous, I admire you greatly! I’m determined to make you my friend!”
Damn! Not only did he score a great deal, but also befriended China Region’s top expert, impressive! If I don’t try to get something out of this, I won’t feel at ease!
Da Fei sighed, “Chairman Ma, I’ve killed dozens of people from Star, fined by the system until penniless, can you aid a brother?”
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, “Good kill, thrilling! No problem, once our transaction is complete, we’ll have a small account sent your way, Brother Fei.”
Da Fei sighed deeply, well, damn it.
…
–Ding Dong! Da Fei’s phone beeped, it was 95533!!!
Da Fei, trembling, opened the message and counted those six zeroes repeatedly, tears welled up, and he laughed ecstatically, “I’ve hit the jackpot, I finally struck it rich, haha! Wahahaha…” (. Mobile users, please visit m.novelbuddy.com to read.)
