Due to the high price of the items listed for sale this time, Dimples Sister couldn't purchase them directly.

However, Xiang Yu was still very enthusiastic and helped Jiang Kai check the historical transaction prices of various ores in advance to prevent him from setting the wrong price.

Helplessly, the Fire God Squad had to return to the main city and head to the trading district.

"Sir, your consignment price is too high. We suggest you register a private selling space at the exchange."

Jiang Kai scrutinized the young man in front of him and asked cautiously, "How much does a private space cost?"

The young man wore a very professional smile and spoke clearly, "Sir, we don't charge extra. The higher your consignment price, the higher the commission we take. We just want our VIP clients to sell their goods better."

No extra charge... Jiang Kai naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Then... let's set one up."

"Okay, I'll help you with that... What would you like to name your private selling space?"

Jiang Kai thought for a moment. He really had no experience in business and finally thought of a small shop in the shantytown, blurting out, "Call it the Convenience Store."

"Convenience Store? Are you sure? A more upscale name might attract buyers with deeper pockets," the staff member suggested.

"Can't be bothered to think about it, just call it the Convenience Store," Jiang Kai confirmed. "It's just a name, after all."

"Uh... okay... Do you have any guild affiliations?"

"No."

The staff member glanced at Jiang Kai again and, seeing that he indeed had no guild insignia on his chest, lowered his head to continue the registration.

"Set the minimum entry requirement... Buyers also have their own accounts, and you can specify a minimum account value."

Hu Yan, who had never encountered VIP services at the exchange, asked puzzledly, "Are there really people who dislike too many customers and block them out?"

The staff member smiled slightly, "Actually, setting a threshold might prevent many people from entering your room, but on the other hand, it will filter out buyers with strength. With your high-priced goods, you need buyers with substantial resources."

Jiang Kai found it a bit troublesome and impatiently said, "Just set the minimum standard."

"The minimum is ten thousand..."

"Ten thousand it is!"

"Will the settlement currency be Alliance Coin or Star Coin?"

"Either is fine, but list the price in Alliance Coin," Jiang Kai replied.

Finally, after setting up his private selling space, Jiang Kai uploaded all those ores in one go.

All consigned items would be stored at the exchange, and once sold, the proceeds would be directly credited to Jiang Kai's account.

...

In the capital city, where China's top guilds and powers were gathered, it was also the most fortified city in the country.

In a private office on the 32nd floor of a skyscraper in the Baihui District.

Liu Hongyu was refreshing the exchange's official website. As the logistics director of the Heavenly Sword Guild, one of his daily tasks was to supplement the guild's resources through various channels.

For a large guild like Heavenly Sword, they primarily sought rare items.

He sipped his tea with milk while mechanically refreshing the page.

Most items appearing on the exchange were ordinary goods, which the Heavenly Sword Guild could easily obtain on their own, making it unnecessary to purchase from the exchange.

"Isn't there anything exciting?" Liu Hongyu shook his head. "Didn't Orient Loong God find anything good either?"

These private selling spaces almost always had strong backgrounds.

Suddenly, on the familiar private selling space page, a new space appeared at the bottom of the list.

"Convenience Store? No guild? What the heck..." Liu Hongyu looked disdainful. "Minimum entry qualification, account value of ten thousand Alliance Coins... It's probably full of junk."

He casually swiped past the space.

At that moment, his chat software started buzzing like crazy.

Opening the chat window, he found seven or eight new messages.

Someone even sent a nudge!

"Are they crazy, daring to nudge me?" Liu Hongyu was a bit annoyed but still opened the chat window.

[Mr. Liu, quickly check out a private selling space called 'Convenience Store.' There's Black Xuan Iron Crystal Ore inside, but I don't have enough purchasing power. Hurry and grab it before it's too late!]

[Mr. Liu, I found the person selling Green Ghost Ore, and it's even at the top-grade gem level, with a quantity of 3 kilograms. I don't have enough money in my account, hurry and buy it! The space is called 'Convenience Store'!]

Liu Hongyu shivered at the mention of these two ores.

"What a joke, 3 kilograms of Green Ghost Ore, and it's top-grade gem level?!" His hands trembled as he hurriedly typed "Convenience Store" into the search bar.

Opening this private selling space, the page displayed nothing but ores.

Top-grade tough ironstone, Xuan Iron Crystal, Black Xuan Iron Crystal, White Xuan Iron Crystal, Green Ghost Ore, Obsidian Hardened Stone, Yellow Pear Wood Transmutation Ore...

"My, my god! Whose space is this, with so many rare ores!" Liu Hongyu quickly logged into his account, spilling his tea with milk in his haste, but he didn't care and swiftly selected the items, paying immediately!

"Damn, sold out? It clearly showed there was still 1.8 kilograms left!"

"The White Xuan Iron is gone too! Damn, damn, damn, such a loss!"

"Which bastard snatched it!"

Su Lanlan watched as the military managed to grab a total of 5.4 kilograms of ore and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Good thing we discovered it early... Otherwise, it would have been all gone."

Wei Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, "These are all high-grade rare gems. That Jiang Kai kid, he must have gotten his hands on a secret treasure!"

Lu Jun sighed, "What kind of luck did that kid have! Bosses are getting harder to kill, and the treasures in secret treasures are getting better, but he's just a first-tier Professional and managed to get so many treasures!"

Xiao Hei suddenly turned to Su Lanlan, "Hey, I heard you bet with him last time to earn 800,000 Alliance Coins within a month?"

"Good thing you didn't continue the bet. At 800,000 per bottle of wine, he made four billion this time. If you went to apologize, it would take 500 bottles..."

Su Lanlan glared at Xiao Hei, "You're so annoying!"

She glanced again at the name of that space on the screen.

"This guy is really something, naming it 'Convenience Store'... What would those 'World's Best Shop,' 'Top Treasure Store,' and 'Millionaire Club' think!"

"Ahem, don't forget to bookmark the Convenience Store. I have a feeling this lunatic will release more treasures next time!"

...

Jiang Kai had just left the auction house, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"If I had known the private space was so troublesome, I wouldn't have bothered." Jiang Kai shook his head. "But at least I finally got rid of those useless things."

Ruan Yu muttered under his breath, "Those aren't useless, like the Green Ghost Ore, which can change the special effects of equipment."

Hu Yan chimed in, "White Xuan Iron can increase critical hit effects by 0.7 times! It's absolutely priceless!"

"Yeah, if your original critical hit was double damage, embedding a kilogram of White Xuan Iron would increase it to a terrifying 2.7 times damage. It's something even experts dream of," Ruan Yu summarized in a professional tone.

Jiang Kai frowned. His critical hit was 200 times damage, so embedding White Xuan Iron would make it 200.7 times...

"Adding just a bit of critical hit, selling a kilogram for 7 million Alliance Coins, the cost-effectiveness is too low." Jiang Kai shook his head.

Hu Yan and Ruan Yu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Their captain's thinking was too unconventional.

But Kai still looked out for them. This time, he gave Ruan Yu a shield with insane defense, a third-tier treasure Glacial Jade to Hu Yan, and some pages of heavenly books to each of them to upgrade their skills.

With their hands tied, they both said in unison.

"Kai is right!"

As the three of them were leisurely walking down the street in the trading district, someone called out to them from behind.

"Hey, are you guys the Fire God Squad?"

Jiang Kai and the others turned around.

In front of them stood a young man in his twenties, with fair skin and big eyes.

While most people had double eyelids, he had at least three...

Jiang Kai looked at his companions, "Do you know him?"

Hu Yan and Ruan Yu shook their heads, "Nope."

The young man spoke up himself.

"Here's the thing, I heard your squad is participating in the guild challenge tournament, and you're short on manpower, so I came to volunteer."

Jiang Kai looked puzzled, "What guild challenge tournament? Friend, you must be mistaken. We're not planning to participate in any guild challenge tournament. I don't even have a guild."

"Mistaken?" The young man tilted his head and frowned, "Hmm, you're Jiang Kai, right? A friend in the military told me you're definitely going to participate in the challenge tournament."

Jiang Kai was even more confused. Where did this information come from? He didn't even know about it himself.

"They said your weapon is called Nine Tribulations Chasing Death, which was a newbie reward from the military, and one of the rewards for this guild challenge tournament is a second-tier Nine Tribulations Chasing Death."

Jiang Kai's eyes widened in surprise, "A second-tier Nine Tribulations Chasing Death?!"

"You didn't know? Oh, I guess I made a mistake, sorry..." With that, the young man turned and left.

"Hey..." Jiang Kai wanted to call out to him, but the young man ran off without looking back.

"He came to deliver a message, hoping to get you to participate in the guild challenge tournament," Hu Yan squinted slightly, watching the young man's departing figure, exposing his little trick.

"It's just unclear whether the person inviting you is a friend or a foe!"
