The idea of forming a merchant team wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for Cheng Ye.
As early as his first encounter with the 'Flying Bird Merchant Team' at the North Station, he was astounded by the substantial profits derived from buying low and selling high.

Back then, he was tempted by the thought, but after some inquiries, he gradually realized that for a merchant team to delve deep into the wilderness gathering places for procurement, it required solid connections to get through various checkpoints, such as the challenges and competition within the gathering places, and dealing with infection sources and mutated creatures along the way.
