After listening to A Melancholy Smile's reminder, Shifeng nodded. He felt that it was time to start the auction for Stone Forest Town's private houses and Shops.
Although the Ling Yi Auction House was making money at a frightening rate, it would take a lot of time to gather the necessary funds to construct a city. Moreover, Ling Yi's Branch Guild in the Black Dragon Empire and Immortal Light in the Apocalypse Empire required a lot of funds.
Not to mention, the era of Mounts had already arrived. It was necessary to popularize Mounts as quickly as possible. However, this was a heavy burden to any Guild. Even so, the various large Guilds had no choice but to do so. After all, the rapid popularization of Mounts would allow Guild members to level up faster.
Fortunately, the Ling Yi Society had a Stable, which allowed it to save a lot of money compared to other Guilds. Only, with so many Guild members, the Ling Yi Society's funds were still inadequate.
Shifeng left the auction matters to A Melancholy Smile. He then returned to White River City to prepare to capture the Manatite vein.
Although the Ling Yi Society was earning a lot of Coins, it was still lacking in Magic Crystals. This was especially true with Stone Forest Town's three Magic Towers and the Ring of Gospel, which consumed a lot of Magic Crystals. The Magic Crystals it earned from the Battle Arena weren't enough. Not to mention, once the city was complete, the Magic Crystals it would need to spend would be even more frightening.
In God's Domain, the various large Guilds wanted to construct as many cities as possible. After all, a city represented a massive amount of wealth. Not only did it generate income from Coins, but it also generated income from Credits.
However, constructing a Guild City was not as easy as one might imagine. To put it simply, it was easier to construct a Guild City than to maintain it. The reason for this was the frightening amount of Magic Crystals required to maintain a Guild City. Hence, even first-rate Guilds in the past had only been able to construct a limited number of Guild Cities.
Only superpowers that had secured various ore veins capable of producing Magic Crystals had been able to construct many Guild Cities. Ordinary large Guilds would be fortunate to maintain a Small City.
Now that the city was almost complete, Shi Feng naturally had to make preparations.
White River City, Candlelight.
When Shifeng arrived before Candlelight's entrance once more, he noticed that Candlelight had undergone significant changes. Large groups of Lifestyle players lined up before the entrance. Among them, there was no lack of Intermediate and Advanced Lifestyle players. Among them, the largest number were Alchemists.
"Candlelight's test is so terrifying, even Intermediate Alchemists were eliminated!" A Level 10 newcomer in God's Domain, who had come to register for the examination, exclaimed when he saw the Intermediate Alchemist.
Although the various large Guilds did not value Intermediate Alchemists as highly as Advanced Alchemists, the various large Guilds would agree without hesitation. After all, nurturing an Intermediate Alchemist was not easy.
But Candlelight was eliminated just like that …
"Looking at your level, you should have just entered White River City, right?" A Level 28 Basic Alchemist beside the newcomer said, smiling. "What's the big deal about eliminating an Intermediate Alchemist? There was even an Advanced Alchemist before."
"You're lying, right? That's an Advanced Alchemist we're talking about …" the Level 10 Lifestyle newcomer said, his jaw dropping.
"Believe me. Ever since Candlelight introduced new benefits for Alchemists, Candlelight has become a holy land in the hearts of Alchemists. You might not know this, but the Alchemist ranked tenth on Candlelight's list can use Secret-Silver ranked alchemy tools. Most likely, very few Guilds in the Starmoon Kingdom possess Secret-Silver ranked alchemy tools. Moreover, this is only the tenth ranked alchemist."
"If you can reach the fourth ranked alchemist, you can use a full set of Secret-Silver ranked alchemy tools. Meanwhile, the first ranked alchemist can use a full set of Dark-Gold ranked alchemy tools."
"All the Alchemists in Star-Moon Kingdom, no, the Alchemists in the neighboring kingdoms, are lining up to register. The Candlelight Trading Firm's requirements for Alchemists have also skyrocketed. You should be thankful that you are not an Alchemist. Otherwise, as an Apprentice, you wouldn't even have the chance to pass the first round of examination."
When the Level 28 Basic Alchemist mentioned Candlelight, his eyes brimmed with yearning. However, he also felt helpless.
Candlelight's benefits for Alchemists were good. However, it was not easy to meet Candlelight's requirements …
"The rewards for those alchemy tools are quite good." Shifeng could not help but smile faintly as he overheard the conversation between the two. "It seems that I'll have to find an opportunity to obtain some more advanced forging tools and engineering tools."
At this stage of the game, Lifestyle players were not particularly important. However, once mainstream players reached Level 50, the demand for Lifestyle players would become apparent. It was no exaggeration to say that the Guild that had Lifestyle players under its control would dominate God's Domain's trading market.
Following which, Shifeng quietly entered Candlelight and entered the Candlelight's Special Forging Room. He then carefully retrieved the Titan Device Forging Design he had obtained from The Frozen King and began to study it.
The Manatite vein in the Sea of Death was located on a very special island. Originally, Shifeng had planned to raid it only after all of the Ling YI Society's main force members had been promoted to Tier 2.
Now, however, that was no longer necessary.
The Manatite vein was located on Kama Island. Not only were powerful monsters garrisoned on the island, but the island's environment was also very special. Not only was the corrosive power of darkness everywhere, but the island's Mana density was also shockingly low. Due to this, not a single Guild had attempted to capture Kama Island in the past.
Yet, nobody could've imagined that Kama Island, with its incredibly low Mana density, would host a Manatite vein that the various large Guilds coveted.
Being in an environment with low Mana density would have a significant impact on players' combat power. It was like being in an environment with high Mana density. Players with low Mana density would have an even greater impact on their combat power. In an environment like Kama Island, players would be fortunate to exhibit even 20% or 30% of their combat power.
The island's monsters were already frighteningly powerful, yet players could only exhibit 20% or 30% of their combat power. Even a team of Tier 2 experts had a low chance of success, much less a team of Tier 1 experts.
However, the Titan Device could overcome the problem of Mana density, making the impossible possible.
An Advanced Forging Design really is complicated. It's no wonder why non-Master-ranked players dared not attempt to craft it in the past. Shifeng could not help but take a deep breath after reading the design's contents.
The Titan Device was an Advanced Forging Design, and the success rate of producing an item with an Advanced Forging Design was incredibly low. The Titan Device was also one of the more difficult Advanced Forging Designs. It was easy to imagine the success rate.
According to Shifeng's initial estimates, even an Advanced Forger like himself would only have a 10% chance of producing the Titan Device. If he tried, he might not succeed even if he produced 20 Advanced Forgers.
Fortunately, he had the necklace Icarus's Heart, which had been upgraded to Epic rank. With this upgrade, he could become a Master Forger.
Following which, Shifeng activated God's Blessing and sacrificed 500 points of Life Force, extending the Blessing's duration from one hour to two hours.
After activating God's Blessing, Shifeng didn't dare waste any time. He took out the materials and Book of Forging he had ordered his subordinates to prepare and began to carefully craft the Titan Device.
