Setting up the Super Trading Channel was actually very simple. Once it was linked with the auction house item listings, there were no problems. The other structures were also easy to handle. Ye Yan set the channel creator as hidden and wrote a message in the announcement: “To allow players to trade anytime and anywhere.” In addition, Ye Yan specified the source of the goods, all of which came from three auction houses in Carol City, which also served as an advertisement for those three auction houses.
In addition, goods from the Starry Sky Pharmacy would also be listed here.
Ye Yan invited Huai Guo into the channel.
After Huai Guo entered the channel, he asked in surprise, “What is this?”
“A trading channel,” Ye Yan replied. He explained his ideas about the Super Trading Channel.
After listening to Ye Yan’s explanation, Huai Guo’s eyes lit up. He believed that Ye Yan’s concept for the Super Trading Channel was absolutely feasible and would definitely have great profit potential in the future, similar to online shopping. Players could browse auction houses and purchase items without having to go to a city, which would definitely create a sensation. As for promoting the Super Trading Channel, it wasn’t difficult either—just pay for a few announcements.
“You need to organize a group of players dedicated to shipping, and also have someone responsible for supervising the trading channel,” Ye Yan said, as he didn’t have much time to manage the Super Trading Channel himself.
“Okay, let’s have Zhao Li handle this. I’ll have Zhao Li hand over his current work and focus on managing the Super Trading Channel you established,” Huai Guo replied. He and Hao Cheng were responsible for managing various tasks, and they had too much on their hands, so they needed to free up Zhao Li.
“Let Zhao Li take charge of this,” Ye Yan said, and he added Zhao Li to the channel.
After listening to Ye Yan and Huai Guo’s explanation, Zhao Li remarked, “Great idea. If this channel can be successfully launched, it will definitely have great development potential. Should we contact other auction house owners, bring them in, and charge them an entry fee? For every item they successfully trade, we can collect a certain fee.”
“This idea is great. Keep improving it,” Ye Yan smiled. Zhao Li’s mind was quite sharp.
“What should we name this channel?” Zhao Li asked.
Ye Yan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s just call it the Super Trading Channel. It’s catchy and easy to remember.”
“That works,” Zhao Li nodded.
When Ye Yan closed the channel, Zhao Li was already working on improving the channel’s trading system, while Huai Guo was preparing the shipping staff and determining their salaries.
Ye Yan followed behind the team, clearing monsters. After about an hour, they suddenly received several system announcements. These were advertisements created by Huai Guo and others for the Super Trading Channel, introducing its functions, such as trading items anytime and anywhere, which were quite attractive.
Once the Super Trading Channel was launched, it immediately drew players’ attention. Soon, Ye Yan noticed that the number of people browsing the Super Trading Channel surged rapidly. Players opened the Super Trading Channel and were surprised to find that it was linked with the three major auction houses in Carol City, offering an impressive range of items, all priced the same as those in the three auction houses.
Some players tried purchasing an item they needed. After about two minutes, they received a system message indicating that the item they purchased had been deposited into their personal warehouse.
The first item was successfully traded, then the second… The Super Trading Channel started spreading rapidly among players, and within a short time, the number of visitors exceeded tens of thousands, with more and more transactions taking place.
Seeing the popularity of the Super Trading Channel, Ye Yan felt relieved. His experiment was correct. The Super Trading Channel’s ability to generate revenue was absolutely more terrifying than the Assassin Alliance. After all, the Assassin Alliance’s scope was too limited, while the Super Trading Channel covered all players. Nearly every player had the habit of purchasing items from auction houses, so they would naturally come to the Super Trading Channel to buy equipment. This could be seen from the fact that the channel had already reached tens of thousands of visitors as soon as it was launched.
When all players became accustomed to browsing and purchasing items on the Super Trading Channel, the daily transaction volume was unimaginable. Even if only a small percentage of each transaction fee was collected, the total would be enormous.
With money, Ye Yan could recruit more players and incorporate more skilled players into the Niuren Tribe. Guild wars were all about money. As long as there was enough in-game currency, what did the Niuren Tribe have to fear?
Although other auction houses might also launch similar trading channels, due to being the first to appear and backed by the three auction houses, the Super Trading Channel had already established an irreplaceable position in players’ minds. Once they tasted the meat, they would naturally let others have a sip of the soup.
The Super Trading Channel was already up and running. On the Carol City side, there was no need to worry about recruiting shippers.
Just a few minutes later, the Super Trading Channel had already completed hundreds of transactions, and the transaction volume was still increasing rapidly, a speed that was astonishing.
Never thought the results would come so quickly. It seemed the effect of the system announcements was quite significant. Spending 2000 gold coins on advertising naturally had to produce some results. Once the Super Trading Channel started making profits, more advertising investments would be made to expand its popularity, allowing players to truly recognize and accept the Super Trading Channel.
Ye Yan reminded Zhao Li that there must be no problems in the shipping process, carefully explaining each step.
The future Super Trading Channel would be one of his biggest sources of income. How could he not take it seriously?
Ye Yan closed the voice channel, and Shui Se Yan Tou and others looked at him.
“Did you guys create this Super Trading Channel?” Shui Se Yan Tou asked. Everyone had just been killing monsters for a while, and Ye Yan had already caused such a stir, which was truly amazing.
“Yes. How is it? Is it convenient to use?” Ye Yan smiled slightly.
The Super Trading Channel was absolutely a revolutionary product that would affect players’ daily habits. It had created a brand-new trading model.
“Not bad. I just bought a few alchemy items on the Super Trading Channel. It was pretty convenient. The items arrived in just a few minutes,” Shui Se Yan Tou said. This thing was indeed quite user-friendly. One could imagine that other players would have a similar experience. If it didn’t become popular, that would be strange.
Within just a few minutes, Ye Yan’s earnings had already reached an astonishing twenty gold coins, pure profit! How far the future Super Trading Channel could develop was truly something to look forward to.
After a while, Huai Guo sent over the investment terms for the Holy Roman Empire and the Jiulan Temple. After Ye Yan, Ban Xing De Hu Li, and Falan confirmed the terms of the agreement, the agreement took effect. Ye Yan had Huai Guo, Niao Bu Sheng Dan, and others deposit the first batch of investment gold coins into their personal warehouses.
From then on, Ye Yan would become the largest shareholder of the Holy Roman Empire and the Jiulan Temple. The future development of this alliance was promising.
Ban Xing De Hu Li and Falan went back to announce this to their guild members. With financial backing, this was a matter worth celebrating for the guild, meaning that a continuous stream of funds would be injected into the guild, greatly promoting its development.
Ye Yan and others moved forward. At the end of the crystal cave in the distance, on an open field, seven elite crystal cave dwellers appeared—seven level 50 elites. Their group could barely handle two or three elites at a time. Dealing with so many elites at once was indeed a bit difficult.
This was exactly where the War Blade Bloodthirsty team had met their downfall.
These elite crystal cave dwellers wandered around, blocking their path forward.
“What should we do?” Everyone was trying to figure out how to deal with this group of elites.
Ye Yan thought for a moment and then searched the official website for information about the crystal cave dwellers. After thinking, he said, “I’ll draw away five of the crystal cave dwellers. The rest will be handled by you.”
“Brother Nie Yan, let me help too,” Sun said to Ye Yan.
“Do you need our help?” Yi Chui Ding Qing, who was nearby, also spoke up.
“No need. More people might cause problems. Does anyone in the team have Shadow Shot?” Ye Yan asked the other team members. Shadow Shot was a relatively unique skill that didn’t easily attract aggro.
“I do,” Ben She Mo Gui, who was nearby, replied.
“Good, with Shadow Shot, it will be easier. When I go to draw the mobs, once I have their attention, you can use Shadow Shot to start the fight,” Ye Yan explained, arranging the entire process of mob farming.
The crystal cave dwellers moved relatively slowly, so as long as he wasn’t blocked, there wouldn’t be a problem. However, in such a narrow cave, avoiding being blocked was somewhat difficult.
Cui Can Dao Guang and the others were ready. Ye Yan entered stealth mode and moved forward, scouting the elite crystal cave dwellers.
Cavern Dweller Guard: Elite, HP 12000/12000.
These cavern dweller guards were much taller than regular elites, standing over three yards tall, with robust builds. They wielded long spears that were two yards long but extremely thick. Their bodies were covered with crystal nodules and sharp hooks.
Clearing out these level 50 elites, who knew what kind of rewards they would get.
Level 50 was a threshold. Most monsters above level 50 were very powerful, and after reaching level 50, players could undergo their second class change.
Ye Yan checked his current level. So far, he was only level 31. He needed to focus on leveling up after returning. Once he reached level 50, he could do the second class change quest for the Thief class, which had very rewarding results.
Under normal circumstances, among 100 thieves, only one or two could pass the second class change quest at level 50. In his previous life, Ye Yan completed the second class change quest for the Thief class when he was nearly level 70.
