After completing the Ballista's core components, Shifeng handed them to A Melancholy Smile.
The Miniature Ballista's production was extremely complex. It required many components. However, aside from the core components, Advanced Classes could easily complete the rest.
As for the final assembly, Burning Abyss's standards as a Master Engineer were more than capable of completing the final assembly.
Meanwhile, he still had many other matters to attend to.
"Guild Leader, the Blackwater and Heavenly Trading Firms have been purchasing fewer Light Stones from us recently. Meanwhile, they are selling more Light Stones. It is very likely that they have obtained quite a few Light Stone Forging Designs. Should we lower our prices as well?" A Melancholy Smile asked worriedly.
After she returned to take over Candlelight's affairs, she suddenly discovered that Candlelight's position in Starmoon Kingdom was in danger.
Setting aside the Blackwater and Heavenly Trading Firms' unique products, just Candlelight's Light Stones, which were its most competitive products, were becoming weaker and weaker.
In addition, the Blackwater and Heavenly Trading Firms' Shops covered the entire Starmoon Kingdom, unlike Candlelight's, which only covered Starmoon Kingdom's major NP cities. If this situation continued, it would only be a few days before Candlelight's position was overtaken by the Blackwater and Heavenly Trading Firms.
At that time, it would greatly affect Candlelight's income.
"The Light Stones won't last much longer?" Shifeng chuckled as he looked at the list A Melancholy Smile handed him. "Since they're already at their limit, it's time for us to change our main product."
"Change our main product?" A Melancholy Smile could not help but think of the Strengthening Device.
The Strengthening Device was extremely popular on the market. However, due to its high price, only large Guilds would purchase it. Ordinary players could not afford it at all. In terms of competitiveness, the Strengthening Device was no match for the Light Stones.
"Take this and have a trustworthy alchemist study it. From now on, we'll focus on producing this item," Shifeng said as he took out the Alchemy Secret Journal from his bag.
The Exotic Stamina Potion's effects recorded in the Alchemy Secret Journal were urgently needed by all players. Moreover, the Exotic Stamina Potion's materials were not precious. Hence, the potion's price was bound to be low. Even ordinary players could afford it.
"Guild Master, you're too godly! You actually managed to obtain such an item!" A Melancholy Smile looked at the Alchemy Secret Journal and excitedly said, "Candlelight, as long as we have this Exotic Stamina Potion, let's see how the Blackwater Trading Firm and Heavenly Trading Firm will compete with us!"
A Melancholy Smile looked at the effects and ingredients of the Secret Stamina Potion.
The Exotic Stamina Potion had a duration of 10 hours, increasing maximum Stamina by 10% and recovery speed by 80%. It was a must-have item for any player that wished to level up quickly. Moreover, the cost of the required materials was roughly 2 Silver. If an Advanced Alchemist were to craft the potion, the success rate would be 50%. In other words, the cost of crafting a single Exotic Stamina Potion was roughly 4 Silver.
With the Exotic Stamina Potion's effects, even if the potion sold for 10 Silver per bottle, there would still be plenty of players willing to purchase it. Meanwhile, 10 Silver was even cheaper than the Mana Mixture the Blackwater Trading Firm and Heavenly Trading Firm launched. In addition, the potion could be used by a wider range of players. The Blackwater Trading Firm and Heavenly Trading Firm had no hope of competing with Candlelight.
In God's Domain, players' daily income was limited. With limited Coins, they could only purchase a limited number of items. Hence, when players were shopping, they would naturally choose items that were cheaper and more useful to them.
Meanwhile, 10 Silver was not a small sum to ordinary players. To elite players, it was barely affordable. If these elite players purchased the Exotic Stamina Potion, they would have no more Coins to purchase other items. At that time, the Blackwater Trading Firm and Heavenly Trading Firm's businesses would suffer a huge blow.
Following which, A Melancholy Smile happily took the Alchemy Secret Journal and left the Special Workshop to select his students.
Meanwhile, Shifeng took out the Abyss Pendant and used the Teleportation Skill to leave the Special Workshop.
At the same time, two major events occurred in Stone Forest Town. Moreover, they were both events that delighted every player.
Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena had completed the construction of the first underground floor, which was much larger than the first floor.
The combat rooms in the Battle Arena were limited to the first, second, and third floors. Now that the Battle Arena had an additional floor, the number of combat rooms available to players had increased by one-third.
Moreover, the most exciting event was none other than the arrival of the first batch of wandering NPC merchants in Stone Forest Town.
Wandering merchants were a privilege only available in player towns. This was a privilege that absolutely did not exist in NPC towns.
These wandering merchants were not like ordinary NPC merchants. They would sell rare items that could not be purchased elsewhere. Among these rare items, there were also rare tools that were very useful to players.
For example, Magic Scrolls or special potions.
However, attracting wandering merchants to Stone Forest Town was not an easy task. This required the town's trade routes to be extremely safe. Otherwise, these sensitive wandering merchants would not take the risk.
"Stone Forest Town is going to ascend to the heavens!"
"Hahaha! I've hit the jackpot today! I only spent 3 Silver Coins to buy a Swamp Scroll! With this scroll, we'll be able to kill a Field Chieftain monster with just two people!"
"That's nothing. Didn't you see someone spend 12 silver coins to buy a bottle of Lucky Potion? I heard that the Lucky Potion can increase a player's Luck by 10 points for half an hour. He sold it for 10 gold coins in one go!"
"What a pity. By the time I arrived, that wandering merchant had already sold out."
…
Following the arrival of the wandering merchants, the town's players began chatting on the streets and alleys.
The items sold by these wandering merchants far exceeded the players' imaginations. They had all sorts of strange items. The only unfortunate thing was that the items sold each day were limited. Moreover, the items sold each day were not fixed.
However, it was precisely because of this that many players wanted to continue living in Stone Forest Town. This was also a good thing for Stone Forest Town. Whenever players sold items in the town, they would collect a 10% tax. Although the tax was not much, as more NPC merchants gathered in the town, the town's income would increase.
At the same time, news of the wandering merchants spread on the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums.
Stone Forest Town's wandering merchants!
They earned 100 times the price of the Lucky Potion!
Immediately, many players in the Starmoon Kingdom became envious. To ordinary players, having 1 Gold on them was already considered a fortune, not to mention 10 Gold. If they could do this a few more times, they could even purchase a Common Mount once they reached Level 40. After all, many expert players did not have the money to purchase a Mount even after reaching Level 40.
Star-Moon City, Blackwater's Residence:
The beautiful Qin Muyun suddenly entered the Guild Leader's office. With an ugly expression, she said, "Guild Leader, Young Master Jing is already somewhat dissatisfied with your performance due to the incident in Stone Forest Town. He wants you to settle this small matter as soon as possible. If you can't even settle this small matter …"
