Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 2348

Chapter 2348 – 4-star Shop

Mainstream players haven’t even reached Level 100, yet Zero Wing is about to own a 4-star Shop . If the various superpowers in the past knew about this, they’d die from envy .

Shi Feng couldn’t help his growing excitement as he gazed at the shining, black token in his hand .

A 4-star Shop Promotion Order was roughly worth as much as a Fragmented Legendary item, but it was far more difficult to obtain . Even of the many superpowers in God’s Domain, only a minority could obtain a 4-star Shop Promotion Order .

No power would trade a 4-star Shop Promotion Order, even if offered a Legendary item .

Similar to the qualitative transformation players undergone when they rose from Tier 2 to Tier 3, Shops would transform when they were upgraded from 3-star to 4-star status . Shops in God’s Domain were considered Basic rank from 1- to 3-star status, but once they reached 4-star status, they’d become an Advanced Shop .

Not only would all of the Shop’s existing functions improve, but it would also gain new major functions .

The first was the Research Workshop!

The Research Workshop would be tremendously helpful to Lifestyle players as they worked to rise through the ranks . Not even the Philosopher’s Hand or Moon God’s Secret Journal could compete .

The Research Workshop could examine data on existing items and identify their deficiencies . Players could then modify and improve these items, thereby creating a new item . It was easy to imagine how helpful this would be to Lifestyle players .

The Research Workshops were a large part of the reason the various superpowers had been able to nurture Master, even Grandmaster, Lifestyle players during Shi Feng’s previous life . Without these workshops, the various superpowers would’ve, at most, been able to nurture Master Lifestyle players, even if they relied on all sorts of rare materials . None of them would’ve had enough super-rare materials to nurture a Grandmaster .

Now that Zero Wing had access to a Research Workshop, the Guild could have a large batch of Master Lifestyle players in no time with how many talented Lifestyle players it already had .

God’s Domain’s designs for high-ranked weapons and equipment were incredibly rare already, but after Level 100, ’rare’ would be an understatement . Trying to obtain a high-quality design would be like trying to win the lottery . Hence, the various major powers would have to rely on Lifestyle players for such items .

Of course, creating a high-ranked Level 100-plus weapon or equipment piece was easier said than done .

Because of this, the cost for high-ranked Level 100-plus weapons and equipment would skyrocket as mainstream players reached Level 100 . Not even ordinary expert players would be able to afford such items . In fact, some ordinary experts would be stuck using Level 100 equipment even after they reached Level 110 .

Meanwhile, this scarcity would only begin to subside as 4-star Shops began to emerge .

The various major powers’ experts would still need some time to reach Level 100, not to mention the time they’d need to obtain high-quality level appropriate weapons and equipment . Zero Wing’s experts were no exception . If Zero Wing could secure a source of weapons and equipment early on, these items would be immensely helpful to the Guild’s experts as they gained more combat power and cleared their Tier 3 Promotion Quests .

The second ability the Shop would gain with its 4-star status would help a power dominate the market .

The Shared Warehouse!

At 4-star status, a Shop would gain a Shared Warehouse and the ability to create similar warehouses in five 3-star Shops . These Shared Warehouses would be connected .

The function might not seem glamorous, but countless powers dreamed of having such an ability .

With a Shared Warehouse, a power could transfer items across long distances at no cost, including non-bag space items .

Transporting non-bag space items had always been a huge problem in God’s Domain, and the Shared Warehouse was one of the few methods that could solve this problem . Because of this, the various powers of Shi Feng’s previous life had fought to promote their Shops to 4-star status, with some even trading Legendary items for the Promotion Order .

There was a catch, of course . Once items had been placed in the Shared Warehouse, they’d be frozen for 24 hours, locked in the warehouse . Moreover, there was an extremely limited amount of space for non-bag space items . At the 4-star status, the Shared Warehouse could only hold up to 200 non-bag space items at a time .

Even so, the function would save a lot of money and transportation time . Most importantly, this method of relocating items was safe .

Had Shadow possessed a 4-star Shop during Shi Feng’s previous life, the Guild wouldn’t have taken so many risks to move highly-valuable non-bag space items, getting robbed by powerful NPCs . Unfortunately, 4-star Shop Promotion Orders were painfully rare in God’s Domain . Only a small number of superpowers could enjoy the luxury of owning a 4- star Shop .

Due to these two functions, not even powers with 100 3-star Shops could complete with those that had a 4-star and a few 3-star Shops for dominance over the market .

Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng stored collected the Sunset King’s loot in his bag and stored the Seven Luminaries Crystals and God Crystals in his Private Warehouse . He then made his way to the City Hall to upgrade the Candlelight Trading Firm to a 4-star Shop . He also notified Melancholic Smile and had her mass-recruit players for Candlelight’s internal membership, pausing normal recruitment for now .

Previously, Candlelight hadn’t met the conditions for expansion . The trading firm only had a limited number of Special Workshops and Meditation Rooms, after all . Moreover, competition between the various trading firms hadn’t been particularly intense as designs for high-quality weapons and equipment below Level 100 were relatively easy to obtain . However, that was about to change .

Any design or recipe a player found in a Level 100-plus neutral map would be incredibly valuable . Now that Candlelight was about to have a 4-star Shop, Shi Feng couldn’t allow the trading firm to operate as liberally as it had been .

Moreover, Otherworld players were flooding to the main continent, and they would have a massive impact on the status quo, especially those from Otherworlds like the Moon God’s Realm, who focused on Lifestyle development . Otherworlds like these would have a huge impact on the main continent’s economy .

To compete against these Otherworlds, Candlelight would need to nurture its Lifestyle players to a higher standard . However, Candlelight had many secrets it had to protect . Thus, it would need more internal members, not normal members .

“Guild Leader, our recruitment requirements are already quite demanding . If we start recruiting with these standards, I’m afraid that other powers will use the opportunity to poach some of our members,” Melancholic Smile cautioned after listening to Shi Feng’s new requirements .

Few of God’s Domain’s Lifestyle players enjoyed being bound by strict contracts . Hence, the various major powers typically offered relaxed conditions . If Candlelight increased its requirements, they’d be lucky not to lose normal members, much less recruit new, internal members .

Furthermore, Starlink was still trying to steal Candlelight’s members . If they increased the trading firm’s strict conditions, Candlelight would suffer for it .

“Relax . That is only true if they can steal our members,” Shi Feng said, chuckling . He then held up the 4-star Shop Promotion Order to the display and continued, “What do you think this is?”

“Is that a 4-star Shop Promotion Order?!” Melancholic Smile’s eyes went wide with shock when she saw the black token . “Guild Leader, is that real?”

Many superpowers had upgraded their own Shops to 3-star status by now, and as a result, Candlelight’s advantages became less prominent by the day . As a result, Candlelight’s advantages were continuously shrinking by the day . Now, the trading firm could only rely on its secret techniques to attract new members .

If Candlelight had a 4-star Shop, however, it would reclaim its lead over its competition .

“Of course, it’s real,” Shi Feng said, chuckling . “I’ll leave the recruitment to you . We need to get this done as quickly as possible . ”

“Alright! I’ll make the announcement immediately!” Melancholic Smile nodded .

Melancholic Smile did as she promised, and news quickly spread that Candlelight was mass-recruiting for internal members in the various kingdoms and empires .

“What’s Candlelight trying to do? It’s only recruiting internal members?”

“Candlelight has become too arrogant after being named a sacred land for Lifestyle players . Not only are its recruitment requirements so high, but all applicants must become internal members, as well? Lifestyle players would be better off joining a different Guild . They’d have more freedom than in Candlelight . ”

Candlelight’s latest recruitment announcement enraged many Lifestyle players, and quite a few of them, who had intended to apply, promptly abandoned the idea .

Meanwhile, two players radiating powerful life auras lounged in one of White River City’s Advanced Restaurants . They were none other than the female Druid and male Guardian Knight from the Moon God’s Realm who had come to investigate Star-Moon Kingdom’s alchemical standards . Across from them sat a woman that fit the idea of a ‘cool beauty’ to a T . She wore an Intermediate Master Alchemist’s Insignia pinned to her chest .

“I didn’t expect to find you here, Silent, but you won’t have a future if you choose to continue developing in this kingdom . Zero Wing can’t help you . Why don’t you just join Dark Pursuit? With your standards, you’re guaranteed to earn a high position in the Guild, and you’ll have access to plenty of resources, including resources Candlelight can’t ever hope to offer,” the female Druid suggested, trying to persuade Silent Wonder .

“Memory is right . The main continent’s alchemical resources are too scarce . Not even the superpowers here can compare to Dark Pursuit’s alchemical resources, much less Zero Wing . Yan Xiaoqian has already received a lot of support and resources from Dark Pursuit . Do you really want to lose the family competition to her?” the male Guardian Knight asked . “You know that you don’t have much time left . ”

“I understand, but I need a little more time to think about it,” Silent Wonder said hesitantly .

“Silent, you can’t keep putting this off . If you can’t decide, I might as well have a talk with your Guild Leader . I don’t mind showing him the difference between our strengths if he refuses to let you go,” the female Druid, Cold Memory, declared, raising a fist .

“I’ll go with you . I doubt he’d dare waste more of Silent’s time once he hears Dark Pursuit’s name,” the male Guardian Knight nodded .

Elsewhere, Shi Feng had arrived at White River City’s City Hall .

Hello, sir . How may I be of service?” the NPC beauty behind the VIP counter amicably asked Shi Feng .

“I wish to upgrade the Candlelight Trading Firm to 4-star status . Here is the Promotion Order,” Shi Feng said as he handed the Promotion Order to the NPC .
