"Guild Leader, we just received word that four advanced lifestyle players from Candlelight Trading Firm have agreed to our previous terms. Candlelight Trading Firm has no intention of holding them back either. As long as we transfer the money, they'll send the four over immediately," Priest Flame Blood said excitedly after receiving the information.
Advanced lifestyle players were scarce for any guild at this stage and valuable assets for seizing the market. The major guilds kept them tightly guarded, never giving other guilds a chance. The only option was to cultivate their own, but that required far too many resources and too much time. It was difficult for a trading firm to gain any competitive edge in the short term that way.
That was why Yi Xiao Duzang had used several masters as bait and offered terms that advanced lifestyle players would find hard to refuse.
He had never expected the results to be so good. They had poached four people in one go, dealing no small blow to Candlelight Trading Firm.
Moreover, with Heavenly Burial's resources, even if these poached advanced lifestyle players had their proficiency reset to zero and all the designs and recipes they had learned deleted from memory, they could quickly restore them to their former level. It would save far more time and resources than raising advanced lifestyle players from scratch.
"This Black Flame really is an interesting man. Every major guild keeps its people locked down tight, yet he's letting four go so generously. It seems he's quite confident in Candlelight Trading Firm." Upon hearing the news, the corner of Yi Xiao Duzang's mouth twitched. He could not help but admire Shi Feng, the man at the helm of Candlelight Trading Firm.
