announcement board and added a few more
what if the life skill professionals
excelled and decided to leave what if a
merchant absconded what if a merchant
tarnished the Guild's reputation these
scenarios were Not Mere hypotheticals
but quite likely occurrences suddenly a
thought struck him and his eyes lit up
of course a deposit I may be a cunning
Merchant but I will not allow my
subordinates to engage in scrupulous
Behavior excitedly he wrote in the
announcement board Merchants joining The
Guild utilizing the Guild's reputation
for business stalls must pay a five
transaction fee and a deposit of 50 0000
gold coins deposit must remain in the
guild for one year without any negative
reputation fraud Etc to be refunded if
any issues arise it will be confiscated
life skill professionals would not be
charged a deposit not because Lyn phone
was unwilling but because these IND
indviduals typically lacked substantial
funds they relied on this opportunity to
earn ly Fong also needed to profit from
them if he charged them few would be
willing to pay especially since the
grand Merchant Dynasty's reputation was
beneficial for them but not vice versa
after considerable thought he settled on
50,000 gold coins five 0000 coins would
be too insignificant to serve as a
deterrant although 50,000 coins was a
considerable sum any Merchant unprepared
to invest such an amount should
reconsider their profession most
importantly if he could enroll 100
Merchants ly fo would instantly acquire
5 million gold coins equivalent to
500,000 in cash if he wanted to do it he
would with each additional Merchant Lyn
fo would clearly State his terms several
Merchants upon hearing the conditions
directly labeled lyong a cunning
Merchant however the majority of
merchants were astute with Merchant
Tiny's reputation and the grand Merchant
Dynasty's name the 5,000 gold coin
seemed neither excessive nor
insufficient and the five transaction
fee albeit high was also bearable in no
time Lyn pH had recruited dozens of
merchants with even more expressing
interest in joining alongside a
considerable number of life skill
professionals Lyn F was uncertain how
many spies were among them after all
trust takes time to establish
nevertheless he was confident in the
rules he had set he would not incur
losses creating equipment requires
Vitality the items produced by life
skill professionals were selling
remarkably well ly Fong had stipulated a
tin profit from which cost would be
deducted thus he could not incur losses.
at worst if they left after being
trained he would still have made a
profit while busy he contemplated any
additional elements to include
unbeknownst to him a little over 10
minutes had passed before they arrived
at Moonshadow Town ly Fong paid little
attention to his surroundings he
squatted at the post station continuing
to recruit members in the end he
successfully enrolled 100 merchants and
97 life skill professionals feeling
thoroughly satisfied he posted on the
Forum the grand Merchant Dynasty is now
full thank you all for your support I
will notify everyone when there are
openings next time after posting ly F
opened the Guild chat interface Merchant
tiny everyone gather at the guild base I
will wait for you for 1 hour those who
fail to show will be expelled from The
Guild the first Guild formation was
filled with confidence not showing up
meant immediate expulsion a an hour was
ample time ly Fong exited the post
station and surveyed the expansive
Moonshadow Town feeling quite content
although Moonshadow town could not
compare to Willow Leaf town in terms of
location it was larger and most
importantly free of charge Willow Leaf
Town had cost a considerable sum to
lease Moonshadow town was currently
