Riley thought it over carefully There was truly no one capable of professional management in their group right now. TartKing was the only viable temporary pick.

With internal guild matters settled, Riley finally let out a long breath.

That didn’t mean she got to relax though.

Outside the safe zone, the server was still in utter chaos.

[Global Announcement–Golden Rose GoldenAbacus: Final fuel stock! Buy now or regret it forever! Prices are high, but staying alive costs more!]

[Golden Rose Golden FlowerSea: Don’t listen to random solo players‘ nonsense. This is an epic–grade blizzard! The system even sent red emergency alerts! Your tiny personal stockpiles won’t last. Only Golden Rose has sufficient reserves. Trade rare materials for your survival!]

Riley watched the nonstop red broadcast messages and analyzed calmly.

“They’re sitting on massive overpriced fuel stockpiles. Since they don’t know how long the blizzard will last, they’re rushing to manipulate the market. Once the storm ends, prices will crash, and they’ll lose everything.

“That’s why they keep spamming global chats to amplify public panic, forcing regular survivors to buy their overpriced goods.

“If they’re this desperate to sell…”

Riley pulled a dark glowing card out of her inventory—the Anonymous Trade Card.

“Then we’ll give them a hand.

“We’re playing a different game this time.”

She opened the trading post and tapped rapidly on the virtual keyboard.

She avoided dumping massive supplies all at once like last time. That was far too obvious, and Golden Rose would definitely notice and target her.

Instead, she chose to wear them down slowly.

[Anonymous Seller: High–Quality Smokeless Coal>200]

[Price: 5% lower than current Golden Rose listings]

[Wanted: Mana Crystal Powderx40 or High–Grade Beast Hidex20 (Specified Materials)]

“I only undercut them by a tiny margin,” Riley explained plainly.

“It’s enough to draw hesitant buyers without crashing the whole market.

“I specifically picked crafting materials for the Polar Walker Boots and Tactical Rune Leg Band. Blueprints are reusable, so we can

never have too many core materials. These resources will help our guild craft orange–tier gear later on.”

PineappleBeer also pulled out an Anonymous Trade Card.

“I’ll collect potion ingredients and rare drops for future dungeons. Either way, Golden Rose will be the ones panicking. They’ll scramble to buy us out.”

And so, another silent market battle began.

Every time Golden Rose posted an overpriced fuel listing, before hesitant survivors could finish their payment, Riley’s anonymous order quietly appeared right above theirs.

She never posted large quantities–only two to three hundred units at a time.

The price was always just a little bit cheaper.

For frugal solo survivors, the choice was obvious. Why pay more?

“Huh? Another cheap listing! It’s only slightly cheaper, but I’m buying. I can resell it later for profit.”

“This anonymous seller is a lifesaver every single time!”

“Golden Rose are nothing but bloodsuckers. Let’s see how they sell their garbage now!”

One transaction followed another. Refined steel ingots, premium beast hides, and mana crystal powder piled up rapidly inside Riley’s inventory.

Golden Rose refused to let anyone undercut them. They kept buying every cheaper anonymous listing to maintain their price monopoly.

Meanwhile, their own overpriced listings sat completely ignored.

Golden Rose Guild Base…

Crash!

GoldenGrass smashed his wine glass onto the floor. Deep red liquid spilled across the expensive carpet, creating a shocking stain.

“What the hell is going on?! Why aren’t we selling anything?!”

He pointed at the stagnant trade data and roared at GoldenAbacus, “Didn’t we confirm all solo players were out of stock? Didn’t we successfully spark mass panic? Why is nobody buying?!”
