Chapter 122: The First Week's Auction Was a Success!

  The representative of the medium-sized business turned around with a pleased smile, his eyes rolling upwards, without even looking at Victor.

  Victor loudly declared, "I declare that this year's auction has failed! Now let's start this week's auction. This week's yield is about two hundred bottles, and now it only takes fifty gold coins to buy away the treatment medicine of these two hundred bottles. Similarly, you need to pay half of the deposit first! If you can't afford the deposit, there will be someone below who will take over, and so on!"

  Fifty gold coins, a small portion of adventurers can afford to pay for it, but it is still a huge sum of money. Individual adventurers are absolutely unable to afford it, and only teams of adventurers with a certain scale can afford to pay for it.

  The adventurers exchanged glances, and many of them had already begun to waver. They were not afraid of the so-called Chamber of Commerce's threats. They could simply become traveling merchants, carrying a load of potions to sell at the Adventurer's Guild, without having to pay business taxes, only needing to pay a transaction fee to the Adventurer's Guild. In terms of profit, it wasn't necessarily worse off either.

  After exchanging a glance with each other, the leader of a small adventurer party, who had obtained his companions' consent, shouted directly: "Sixty gold coins!"

  "Sixty-one gold coins!" As soon as someone started it off, the scene immediately became chaotic, but only for a moment.

  The final price was locked at sixty-seven gold coins and twenty-six silver coins, then just as Victor was about to bang the table to finalize the deal, the representative of the medium-sized merchant guild turned pale and said: "Whoever dares to buy this week's medicinal herbs is going against the Temple of Benen!"

  Bane is a god who governs brutality and tyranny, notorious for his cruel revenge, ruthless means, no wonder the two small business representatives who knew his true nature were so afraid of him, it turns out he was actually a representative of the Bane Temple!

  As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the hall burst out laughing: "What kind of thing is the Temple of Benen? Is it a barbarian's dung? It really stinks!"

  As a guild protected by the Temple of Bane, they naturally have many natural enemies. The priests and followers of deities who oppose the Temple of Bane will naturally be opposed to them, even hating them, and it would be strange if they didn't fight as soon as they meet!

  "Seventy gold coins!" A priest wearing a solar robe raised his hand. He seemed to be a member of the temple as well, and it was unknown why he would appear on top of Haym's head this time.

  "Seventy-five gold coins!" The bidding grew more and more intense in the new round.

  "Eighty gold coins!" This was basically the highest price.

  It didn't occur to him that it would provoke such a result, just like countless hands slapping the face of the middle-aged merchant representative. Every time he called out a price, it was as if he had slapped his face again. He glared fiercely at everyone around him, then fixed his gaze on Victor, gritting his teeth and threatening: "You can only offer this prescription to the great Emperor Ban, otherwise you'll be waiting to die on the streets."

  Victor's chin rose high, and a word burst out of his mouth: "Scram!"

  The adventurers all burst out laughing, using all their strength to mock this self-righteous Chamber of Commerce representative, laughing until the representative's face turned red and his neck thickened, with coarse air spraying out of his nose.

  "You will regret it!" After putting down this ruthless remark, the representative of the medium-sized Chamber of Commerce left in a huff.

  After the merchant representatives left, the adventurers continued to bid, but their impact was much weaker this time. In the end, they settled on a price of eighty-three gold coins and sixteen silver coins.

  The first week's purchase was bought by a 14-person adventure team, who also wanted to come here for an adventure and compete for a piece of land. Fortunately, they had enough gold coins with them, so they won the bid this time.

  After paying half of the deposit, this adventure team took away all the finished treatment potions, about 113 branches, and sold them on the spot at a price of 80 silver coins per bottle and 5 gold coins for 10 bottles. They earned 61 gold coins and 60 silver coins on the spot, basically almost breaking even. Plus the at least 87 potions that will be delivered in the future, they are absolutely guaranteed to make a profit.

  Watching such a good deal fall into the hands of other adventurers, the other adventurer teams that didn't get it all sighed and stomped their feet, looking like they were thinking about something that wasn't quite getting through. Some people even gave a cold glance to the leader of the team that got the first week's treatment medicine, probably thinking in their hearts, "This simple scam finally fooled an idiot."

  For Victor's squad, the gold coins that can be obtained first are the most important, and they don't have time to do retail things. Their primary task is to continuously expand production capacity and repair various public facilities in Heim Town, the most important of which is to build a Sun God altar, allowing the power of the Sun God to radiate here, driving away the plague and corrupt atmosphere.

  After the auction was over, Victor cleared his throat and said: "Everyone is an adventurer from all over the world, and they should all know that the wealth of adventurers comes from adventure itself."

  Everyone has seen the situation in Haimen Town now, from tomorrow on, I will officially start recruiting Guardian members, those who are willing to sign up, come here at 12 noon tomorrow to register.

  "I'm warning everyone first, the situation here is very tough. You're not coming to enjoy yourselves, but to suffer. And I'm also telling everyone that the risks here are absolutely not low. Alright, see you all tomorrow."

  Then, he sent all the other adventurers away and closed the door, starting to count his money.

  Yilian asked in puzzlement: "Captain, why don't we just sell it directly to the adventurers on site? Look at them, they've already made a profit of over ten gold coins by reselling!"

  Ivan, the mage, said with some disdain: "Big-breasted but brainless women, our core personnel are just a few people, who should we send to sell potions? Moreover, now that these adventurers are all in Haimun, our potions are selling well, but if they leave? We can only go out and sell, it won't be so simple then. We have no trade routes, no channels, and now we've offended the Benn God Temple's merchant guild, I'm afraid as soon as we go out, we'll be killed. It's better to just do a bulk buyout here, and let some adventurers expand our trade routes for us. This is a more cost-effective plan in the long run."

  Yilian heard the monk scold her for being big-breasted and brainless, and she was somewhat angry in her heart. However, after hearing what Monk Yifan said, which indeed made sense, she didn't refute anymore, but merely hummed a sound and started helping Viktor count his gold coins.

  Victor's squad, who had obtained forty-two gold coins in cash, were happily counting their spoils. Xiran looked at the time and walked to the outside of the government office according to Lin Ya's instructions, standing at the door waiting.
