"It's done already?"
Shifeng was overjoyed when he heard A Melancholy Smile's report.
Advanced Transport Carriages were not easy to produce. Even if they had all the required materials, some parts would fail to meet the standards. They would need to replace the parts and reassemble them, which was extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, as long as it was done properly, it would be of great help to Stone Forest Town's development.
Stone Forest Town's reconstruction had already been completed. However, without the most crucial transportation carriages, Stone Forest Town's true potential could not be unlocked.
Although Shifeng had rented ordinary carriages from NPCs, those carriages could only carry three or four players at most. Moreover, the cost of renting a carriage was relatively high, and the time saved was limited. The carriage's speed was only equivalent to that of a Common Mount. If players had to pay 40 Copper Coins to save five hours of travel time, many ordinary players would most likely choose to walk to Stone Forest Town. In the end, Shifeng had set the price at 30 Copper Coins, breaking even.
If they had an Advanced Transport Carriage, they could solve many problems. Firstly, it was fast enough to rival Mysterious-Iron Mounts. Secondly, it could carry up to 20 players. With this, they could earn a lot just from transporting players, not to mention important goods.
An Advanced Transport Carriage could carry up to 60 items that a player's bag space could not.
In a player town, the number of items a wandering Merchant could sell depended entirely on the city's transportation capacity. As wandering Merchants traveled from town to town, the majority of the items they transported were items that players' bags could not carry.
However, the more items a player's bag space could not carry, the more rare items a wandering Merchant could sell. Moreover, the number of wandering Merchants would also increase. This was a hidden message.
Many Guilds had only discovered this hidden information after they had their own Advanced Towns or Cities. Many of these Guilds regretted not establishing a transportation system early on. Otherwise, the wandering merchants' rare items would attract countless players to their cities.
Moreover, when a town or city's wandering Merchant population reached a certain number, a hidden effect could be activated.
A Mysterious Shop would appear in a town or city!
As the name implied, a Mysterious Shop was different from a Black Market. The number of items sold in a Black Market was limited, and the Black Market would change regularly. The items sold in a Mysterious Shop depended on whether a player had enough money to purchase the item first. The items sold in a Mysterious Shop were unlimited. Any player could purchase items from the Mysterious Shop without having to worry about competing with other players.
Correspondingly, there was a limit to the number of items players could purchase each day. Moreover, as players could only purchase Mysterious Treasure Chests at the Mysterious Shop, they could only purchase up to five Mysterious Treasure Chests each day. Each Mysterious Treasure Chest cost 2 Silver Coins, and they would randomly open various items.
These random items included potions, weapons, equipment, Magic Scrolls, food, and more. If one were lucky, they could even drop Dark-Gold weapons, equipment, and tools.
Moreover, once players purchased a certain number of Mysterious Treasure Chests in the Mysterious Shop, they would become members. Aside from increasing the number of Mysterious Treasure Chests they could purchase to seven per day, they could also enter the Mysterious Shop's second floor and compete for one rare weapon, equipment, or tool per day. Meanwhile, the lowest quality of the items they could compete for was Secret-Silver rank. Most of the time, there would be Fine-Gold rank items, and very rarely, Dark-Gold rank items would appear.
In God's Domain, once players reached Level 50, they would have a very difficult time obtaining high-quality weapons and equipment. Just obtaining Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipment was as difficult as obtaining Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Hence, there was a competition for Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment every day. To the majority of players, this was an opportunity.
Meanwhile, this opportunity did not require superb combat techniques. As long as one had sufficient Coins, they could obtain these items.
Hence, in God's Domain, as long as a town or city had a Mysterious Shop, many ordinary players would flock to it. There were even some merchant players who used this opportunity to make a fortune. Every day, they would travel to the various towns and cities to compete for Level 50-plus Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Normally, they could not be found anywhere.
Similarly, there were also many players who used this method to obtain a full set of Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment.
Following which, after Shifeng arrived at Candlelight, he immediately made his way to Burning Abyss's workshop.
"Guild Leader, what do you think of this Advanced Transport Carriage?" A Melancholy Smile asked as he pointed at the exquisite carriage in the workshop's center.
Although the Advanced Transport Carriage was called a carriage, it did not have a horse to drive it. Like a Bronze Motorcycle, it was completely mechanized. As long as one purchased some fuel from an NPC Shop, they would be able to drive it. It was similar to taming a Mount. Living Mounts needed to be fed regularly. Moreover, the higher the rank of the Mount, the more expensive the food it required.
"Has it been modified?" Shifeng asked after taking a closer look. The Transport Carriage's appearance on the original design had undergone some changes.
"Mhm. Burning Abyss is a true engineering genius. Using the research data he obtained from the Holy City of Titan, he made some slight modifications to the Advanced Transport Carriage, improving its performance slightly," A Melancholy Smile explained.
[Advanced Transport Carriage] (Common Rank) Created by Master Engineer Burning Abyss.
Maximum capacity: 20 people.
Item storage space in Unlocked state: Can store 8,000 items. Can store 60 items in non-storage space.
Additional Skill- Mana Burn: Increases Movement Speed by absorbing player's Mana. Absorbs 1,500 Mana every minute. Increases Movement Speed by 15%. No Cooldown.
"Amazing!" Shifeng exclaimed.
Although he had seen Mana Burn before, the Skill generally only appeared on mechanical carriages or Mounts that were Bronze rank or above. This was his first time seeing it appear on an Advanced Transport Carriage.
With this Skill, the Advanced Transport Carriage's Movement Speed would increase by 15%, allowing it to rival a Secret-Silver Mount's speed.
However, as Shifeng looked at the Advanced Transport Carriage, he could not help his frustration.
This was because there were simply too few Advanced Transport Carriages. Currently, they only had enough materials to produce two. If they could mass-produce Advanced Transport Carriages, the Mysterious Shop might even appear in Stone Forest Town before it even became an Advanced Town.
It would be great if I could find a replacement material, Shifeng thought to himself.
Green Ebony was even rarer than Diamond Wood. Moreover, the maps it resided in were extremely dangerous. It would be extremely difficult to obtain a large quantity of Green Ebony.
"Right, I remember that Green Ebony only grows in places where Ebony grows. Due to the high Mana density, only a very small number of Ebony grows into Green Ebony. What if I use the Philosopher's Stone's Elemental Strengthening on the Ebony?" Shifeng suddenly thought of the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone was a sacred alchemy item.
Aside from refining potions, alchemy's main purpose was to transform and strengthen items.
Green Ebony was originally born from Ebony. With the Philosopher's Stone, he could give it a try.
Ebony was not a rare material in God's Domain. It was a very common type of wood. If he could transform Ebony into Green Ebony, he could save himself a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Producing a large number of Advanced Transport Carriages would no longer be difficult.
