As soon as Shi Feng exited the Teleportation Hall, a blue sky appeared before him. This place looked like a city on the sea. Various ships could be seen docked at the foot of the mountain. Meanwhile, a large number of players could be seen forming parties at the harbor. This place was clearly different from the cities on land.
"Party quest to hunt the Armored Behemoth! Four advanced speedboats are ready! Those who wish to join, hurry up and register! Level 40 minimum requirement! Only veterans, no newcomers!"
"Party up to grind Red Coral at Red Dawn Bay! Level 39 and below, do not disturb!"
"Level 41 Shield Warriors looking for an Undersea Shrine party! Personal ownership of an advanced speedboat! "
"Head to the Black Fog Sea to grind Magic Crystals! Lead a team with a Bronze Speedboat! We're still missing two advanced speedboats! Those who have advanced speedboats, hurry up!"
…
Over 4,000 players had formed parties at the harbor. It was like a lively market. Moreover, unlike the parties on land, players here valued levels and the quality of their speedboats.
As long as a player had an advanced speedboat, they would definitely become the target of an invitation. It would be as if they had encountered an expert. Ordinary players would want nothing more than to hug the speedboat. If a player had a Bronze Speedboat, they would be a superstar.
"There sure are a lot of players with advanced speedboats here." Shifeng glanced around and discovered that at least 10% of the speedboats in the harbor were advanced speedboats. In the Apocalypse Empire, Common speedboats were already rare, not to mention advanced speedboats.
Moreover, aside from the standard of the speedboats, the players here were also generally high-leveled. Level 40-plus players could be seen everywhere on the streets. In the Starmoon Kingdom, such players would be considered experts, but here, they were ordinary.
Although the players here were relatively high-leveled, the businesses here were not developed. As Shifeng wandered the streets, he did not see any player-owned Shops. There were even fewer player-made items. On the contrary, he saw many players setting up stalls on the streets. Unlike the NPC cities on land, players were prohibited from setting up stalls on the streets. If players wished to trade with others, they had to shout their wares. Unlike the stalls on land, however, customers could see what the players were selling.
Shifeng visited several dozen stalls, but all of the items sold were either monster drops or materials. There were no Lifestyle items.
"Sure enough, the development of subclasses on the sea is relatively slow." Shifeng smiled faintly.
In his previous life, he had spent most of his time on land, so he didn't know much about the Sea's End. He only knew some general information.
Moreover, by the time he had come to understand the island cities in the past, many of God's Domain's island cities had long since developed. They had never been in such dire straits. After all, there were far more resources at sea than on land. Moreover, there were many unique resources at sea. Hence, the NPC cities on islands had been very prosperous in the past. Various merchant fleets and luxurious shops could be found everywhere.
However, after giving it some thought, Shi Feng realized that the development of his subclasses at sea wasn't much slower than on land. It was only due to the butterfly effect of his development of his subclasses at such a young age that the development of his subclasses on land was much faster than on land.
While Shifeng investigated the prices of Azure City's products, a large group of players suddenly gathered on the commercial street. Many of these players revealed excited expressions as they rushed over to the scene.
This made the Shifeng curious.
"Purchasing Runic Fragments in bulk today! 6 Silver per stack! First come, first serve!"
A slightly chubby, middle-aged man with a mustache shouted as he walked out of a three-story Shop on the main street.
With just a few words, the surrounding players couldn't help but pounce on the man.
After a short moment, a large group of players swarmed into the Shop. It was obvious that the man wanted to sell his Runic Fragments.
"Damn it! We're one step behind again!"
"There are too many people trying to rob us. Can't the House of Seas collect more Runic Fragments every day? I've been waiting for an entire day, yet we still haven't sold any. "
"But there's nothing we can do about it. Only the House of Seas is buying Runic Fragments at such a high price. If we sell them to NPC merchants, we'll only get 40 Copper per stack."
"I guess you're right. The House of Seas seems to be purchasing Runic Fragments at such a high price to produce something."
"That's right. I've saved up 20 stacks of Runic Fragments. If I sell them all at once, I'll get 1 Gold, 20 Silver. That's enough to buy a piece of good equipment."
…
After a short moment, a large number of players walked out of the Shop called the House of Seas, disappointment evident on their faces. It was obvious that they were disappointed that they had failed to sell their Runic Fragments.
"Runic Fragments?" Shifeng could not help but recall the matter regarding Runic Fragments. "If I recall correctly, Runic Fragments are items dropped by sea monsters. On their own, they aren't particularly valuable. They can only be used to synthesize Runic Crystals. However, the synthesis rate is considerably low. Even a Master Alchemist's success rate is less than 10%. Could the House of Seas be trying to synthesize Runic Crystals?"
Runic Crystals were unique to the sea. They were energy crystals that were similar to Magic Crystals. Only, the amount of energy they contained was different.
Magic Crystals contained more Mana than Magic Crystals, while Runic Crystals contained less Mana. Based on the Mana they contained, Runic Crystals only contained two-thirds of the Mana. However, they weren't even worth half of Magic Crystals, roughly 10 Silver each.
This was because Runic Crystals couldn't be used in the Divine Colosseum. They had a limited range of applications.
If one had to point out a specific use for Runic Crystals, it would be to exchange them for items.
Runic Crystals could be used to exchange for many items at the Sea God's Temple. However, the exchange rate was not unlimited. The Sea God's Temple only had a limited number of items available for exchange every week. Even so, Shi Feng had to admit that the Sea God's Temple offered excellent items for exchange. Occasionally, the Sea God's Temple even sold Epic items.
Aside from the Sea God's Blessing, the best item to exchange for was a potion called the Sea God's Blessing.
Five Runic Crystals could be exchanged for one potion, which cost 50 Silver per potion.
Even land players loved the Sea God's Blessing, not to mention naval players. After drinking the potion, not only would all of players' Basic Attributes increase by 10%, but all of their Resistances would also increase by 100 points for 12 hours. Moreover, the potion had no Cooldown and could stack two Attribute Buffs.
In other words, if players drank two Sea God's Blessings, they could increase all of their Basic Attributes by 15% and all of their Resistances by 150 points for 15 hours.
The further one progressed in God's Domain, the more important environmental factors became. Players needed a certain amount of Magic Resistance to survive in the game. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to grind in special maps. If players could increase all of their Resistances by 100 points, they could travel freely in the majority of God's Domain without being affected by the environment.
However, as there was a limit to the number of potions available, the potion's actual price was much higher. On the market, one Sea God's Blessing cost 2 Gold. Moreover, this was only the price at sea. On land, one Sea God's Blessing cost 3 Gold …
"Right! There's still a chance to make a fortune!" Shifeng suddenly thought of the Philosopher's Stone.
Others might have to put in a lot of effort to synthesize Runic Crystals, but he had the Philosopher's Stone. His synthesis rate was much higher than that of Grandmaster Alchemists. No matter how he synthesized the Runic Crystals, he would make a profit. (To be continued.)
