After Shifeng clicked to upgrade the Shop, the Forest Traveler began to transform.
In less than five seconds, the originally simple, two-story building had transformed into an exquisite, three-story restaurant. It was much more eye-catching than the surrounding Shops.
However, compared to the changes to the outside, the changes to the interior were even greater.
Originally, only a dozen or so tables could be placed on the first floor. Now, more than 30 tables could be placed on the first floor. The interior had more than doubled in size. There were also the second and third floors.
The entire second floor had become a dining area, while the third floor was a lodging area. Only, the interior was very simple. If one wished to make it look good, they would have to spend additional money.
Next, I need to find a way to attract customers and increase the restaurant's turnover. Shifeng nodded slightly as he glanced at the new Forest Traveler.
Although players would have to pay for the Shop's upgrade, the restaurant would become more spacious and upscale. Later on, the restaurant's fees would also increase, and he would earn more money.
Moreover, compared to the Shop's upgrade, Shi Feng's focus was on the two Master Dishes.
One was Drunken Tiger Meat, while the other was Frozen Bone Soup.
When consumed, one of the Master Dishes increased Strength by 10% for six hours, while the other increased Intelligence by 10% for six hours. There was no Cooldown between the two Master Dishes.
A 10% increase in Strength or Intelligence was a massive boost to melee and magical classes. Moreover, it stacked with Attribute Increasing Potions. The only downside was that this buff would automatically disappear after players died. Many Master Potions' effects would not disappear. However, there was a benefit to the Master Dishes' buffs. In special Dungeons and environments, such as environments where tools were ineffective, the buffs would not disappear.
This buff would also be of great help when raiding the Void Serpent.
Previously, the Forest Traveler had been too simple. The only chef had been Joseph. Even though Shi Feng had collected the materials for the two Master Dishes, the production speed had been very slow.
Shifeng had seen that the Drunken Tiger Meat required ten minutes to make, while the Frozen Bone Soup required eight minutes. However, now that the Shop had expanded, he could hire two more chefs to assist him, doubling his production speed. As for the materials for the two Master Dishes, the Ling YI Society could easily gather them.
Following which, Shifeng opened the Forest Traveler's System Interface and quickly recruited two chefs and eight waiters, reopening the restaurant.
In less than five minutes after the Forest Traveler reopened for business, it welcomed its first NPC customer. The effect was slightly worse than what Shifeng had expected, but it was still acceptable.
In God's Domain, not only could players earn money from renting a restaurant, but they could also earn money from NPCs. Only, the share of profits they received from renting a restaurant was much smaller, only one-quarter of a player's share. Although this might seem like a small amount, in reality, it could be considered a fixed income for the restaurant. As the restaurant's star rank and scale increased, the fixed income would increase as well.
Currently, the Forest Traveler was only a 1-star Restaurant. It earned between 30 and 10 Gold per day from NPCs. However, once it became a 2-star Restaurant, it could earn from 30 Gold to 100 Gold per day. Most importantly, the number of Master Dishes it could produce would increase as well.
The Sea of Trees' lodging fees weren't set by players. Instead, the system determined the price based on the restaurant and hotel's scale, star rank, and Popularity. A 1-star Restaurant cost 50 Silver at the very least and 1 Gold at most. However, a 2-star Restaurant cost 2 Gold at the very least and 5 Gold at most. Hence, the Sea of Trees' lodging prices ranged from 50 Silver to 5 Gold.
However, 2-star Restaurants and Hotels were very rare in the Sea of Trees. Most of them were concentrated in the city's central district. However, players needed to reach a certain status and Contribution Points to rent a 2-star Restaurant and Hotel.
To the overcrowded Sea of Trees, having a 2-star Restaurant and Hotel would significantly increase one's income.
Once the Forest Traveler's Shop was settled, Shifeng contacted A Melancholy Smile and had A Melancholy Smile collect the necessary materials for the Drunken Tiger Meat and Frozen Bone Soup. Elsewhere, Shifeng left an Abyss Mark in the Forest Traveler's office. This way, even if he didn't have a key, he could visit the Sea of Trees freely.
Of course, there was an even simpler method, and that was to purchase special teleportation scrolls from magic shops when the hotel or restaurant they rented reached 2-Star. The price wasn't low, and the price was 5 Silver Coins per scroll. However, after becoming a staff member of the hotel or restaurant, they could bind the teleportation scroll and use it to directly teleport to the hotel or restaurant.
Since the Forest Traveler wasn't a 2-star Restaurant yet, it didn't possess such an ability.
After confirming that A Melancholy Smile had collected the necessary materials, Shifeng returned to the Guild Warehouse and retrieved the necessary materials. He then used the Abyss Teleportation Scroll to return to the Forest Traveler's Shop and had the shop owner prepare the dishes as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Shifeng didn't remain idle. He returned to Candlelight and began to forge Titan City's standard weapons and Advanced Mana Armor Kits. He wanted to use this opportunity to upgrade the weapons of Ling Yi's members and push for the Intermediate Master Forger rank.
After obtaining several hundred sets of materials from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and Unyielding Soul, Cream Cocoa and A Melancholy Smile had focused on forging the Hell Tanks. As a result, they had slowed down significantly in forging weapons. Even now, they still had a large pile of materials they hadn't used.
Inside the Special Forging Room, Shifeng continued to forge standard weapons as his EXP bar continued to rise.
As standard Dark-Gold Weapons, not only did they provide high Forging Proficiency, but they also provided EXP faster than when grinding monsters. After two short days, Shifeng's EXP bar had reached 70.5% of Level 69. Now, he was less than 30% away from the Level 70 threshold.
Meanwhile, as Shifeng continued to forge standard weapons and Advanced Mana Armor Kits, his Forging Proficiency had also increased significantly. Now, he was less than 20,000 Forging Proficiency Points away from becoming an Intermediate Master Forger.
Shifeng's results over the past two days were also impressive. Just the standard Dark-Gold Weapons and Advanced Mana Armor Kits alone numbered over 300.
Following which, Shifeng used 130 standard Dark-Gold Weapons to upgrade the Abyssal Blade to Level 55. Although there wasn't a fundamental upgrade, the Abyssal Blade's Attack Power had increased from 2,070 to 2,350, all of Shifeng's Basic Attributes had increased from 170 to 192, and his Attack Speed had increased from 27 to 29. Although the Abyssal Blade's Attack Power had increased according to the player's level, the Abyssal Blade's Attack Power was still significantly inferior to Killing Ray's.
However, Shifeng was satisfied with this result. After all, the Abyssal Blade had already grown into a top-tier Epic Weapon. If it improved further, it would become a Fragmented Legendary Weapon.
"It's about time. I should go get the dishes." After taking a look at the time, Shifeng immediately used Abyss Transfer.
When he returned to the Forest Traveler, he noticed that the number of NPCs in the restaurant had increased significantly. At the very least, it wasn't as empty as before. There were still six customers in the restaurant on the first floor.
A short moment later, Shifeng collected 300 servings of Drunken Tiger Meat and 500 servings of Frosty Bone Soup. He then teleported to the Guild Residence in Ling Yi City.
Inside the Guild's lounge, Ke Le, Alluring Summer, and the others approached the Shifeng when they saw him.
"Hehe! Guild Leader, look! I'm Level 60 now!" Ke Le could not help but excitedly display his level to Xiang Shifeng, showing off how hard he had worked to level up and grind.
In God's Domain, every five levels represented a watershed. Level 60 just so happened to be one of those watersheds that could significantly increase a player's Attributes.
Alluring Summer, who stood beside Ke Le, rolled her eyes at Xiang Shifeng. She then asked curiously, "Guild Leader, why did you suddenly call us back?"
