Shortly after Shifeng issued the new command, Anna began her preparations. Buzz buzz.
Compared to ordinary NPCs, Anna was much smarter. Very quickly, she completed Shifeng's request.
Just as Shifeng was thinking of how to use the Starstreak Trading Firm to earn 30,000 Gold, the Starstreak Trading Firm's renovation began.
The entire Starstreak Trading Firm also began to renovate and renovate. According to Shi Feng's request, the first and second floors were designed as special counters. The first floor sold some common and commonly used items, while the second floor sold the best of the best. The fourth to sixth floors were also converted into workshops for the various Lifestyle classes.
Among them, the entire fourth floor was a forging room, the fifth floor was a potion room, and the sixth floor was a workshop for other classes. A portion of the sixth floor was a warehouse for NPCs and players.
Meanwhile, the Starstreak Trading Firm's renovation also attracted the attention of a large number of players.
Previously, due to Shifeng and Anna's viral video, many curious players had come to take a look. In the end, however, they discovered that the Starstreak Trading Firm, which was located in a prime location, was actually refusing customers for renovations.
This situation made all the players very curious. Just what was going on?
"Your Highness Ye Feng, the matters you requested have been completed. May I know if Your Highness has any other instructions?" Anna wore a tranquil smile as she walked towards Shifeng, who was currently in the midst of planning.
"As long as it's done. How many people have you found?" Shifeng asked.
"We have found a total of 245 Potion Masters in eight cities. Among them, 209 are Basic Potion Masters, 29 are Intermediate Potion Masters, and 7 are Advanced Potion Masters. In addition, there are 228 Forgers. Among them, 188 are Basic Forgers, 31 are Intermediate Forgers, and 9 are Advanced Forgers," Anna took out a list and placed it on the table.
"That's quite a lot." Shifeng looked at the number of NPCs on the list. He was very satisfied.
If the core upper echelons of a first-rate Guild saw such a number, they would most likely be incomparably shocked.
These NPCs were bona fide Potion Masters and Forgers. They were not Apprentices, yet they possessed such frightening strength. Most likely, they could instantly turn a third-rate Guild into a Super Guild.
This was the power of the Starstreak Trading Firm. If it were a player-established Shop, it would be impossible for them to hire so many Advanced NPCs. At most, they would be lucky if they could hire an NPC Apprentice. However, the Starstreak Trading Firm could hire so many Potion Masters and Forgers.
The Trading Firm's NPCs were much stronger than Apprentices. Unfortunately, their efficiency was slightly lower, and leveling up too slowly. Their potential was much lower than the players'.
"Your Highness, I feel that this is somewhat inappropriate. Offering such a high salary, inviting so many people, and providing such a large amount of materials, this is a business that will suffer a loss. At this rate, the Starstreak Trading Firm won't even last a month. In just a little over ten days, the Starstreak Trading Firm will close down," Anna said worriedly.
In order to invite these people, the Starstreak Trading Firm had paid an additional 30%. He still had to bear their failure rate. It was simply crazy.
Moreover, whether it was potions or equipment, they had never earned much money. Their sales were also mediocre.
Only those masters could really make a lot of money. Now that he had invited so many people, he was simply losing money.
Anna did not know why Shifeng wanted to hire these people. Wouldn't it be better to just buy from them? This way, the trading firm would not suffer any losses.
Unfortunately, Anna didn't know how important these Potion Masters and Blacksmiths were to the current players.
"You don't have to worry about that. All that was left was for the Potioneers to concoct Basic Recovery Potions and Basic Mana Recovery Potions. As for the Intermediate and Advanced Potioneers, they would concoct Intermediate Recovery Potions and Intermediate Mana Recovery Potions. As for the Blacksmiths, let them make Whetstones, "Shifeng said, chuckling.
There were many NPs in God's Domain. Generally, only players who had opened a Shop had the qualifications to hire these NPs to produce items. Even if ordinary players found these NPs and provided them with materials, these NPs would not produce items for them.
However, hiring these NPs was not without its disadvantages. They were slow, and the number of items they could produce each day was fixed. The advantage of hiring NPs was their high success rate. They did not waste materials like players.
During the later stages of God's Domain, these NPs would no longer be of much use to Shifeng. They were mainly used by players. However, these Potioneers and Blacksmiths were extremely useful to Shifeng.
The Intermediate Recovery Potions and Intermediate Mana Recovery Potions, in particular, were extremely useful to current players. They could save a player's life during a critical moment.
Although these two items were commonly used items, and their recipes could be purchased from the Magic Potion Association, current players could not concoct them. Moreover, these items could only be purchased in small quantities from hidden NPs. The majority of players did not have the fortune to enjoy them.
If these Potioneers were allowed to produce the potions, their success rate would exceed 70%. Meanwhile, the Intermediate Potions, which only cost 30 to 40 Coppers, could be sold for five to six Silver Coins per bottle. After deducting the cost of employment, they could still make a profit of four to five Silver Coins. So, why not?
Not to mention, the current players needed these items the most. As long as they sold these items to the Starstreak Trading Firm, they would definitely make a huge profit.
In addition, there were also Whetstones. This was something that all players lacked. A stack of Hard Stones cost 13 Silver Coins, while a stack of Whetstones cost 40 Silver Coins. With the success rate of those Apprentices, how could they possibly compete with these official Blacksmiths?
The only problem was materials. In the past, the Starstreak Trading Firm had directly purchased items from Potioneers and Blacksmiths. Now, however, the Trading Firm was providing resources for them to produce the potions. Hence, the problem of materials still had to be resolved by the Trading Firm.
The Trading Firm could purchase the normal materials on the market at a very low price. However, the materials needed to produce the Intermediate Recovery Potions, Intermediate Mana Recovery Potions, Whetstones, and the like required players.
However, Shifeng was not worried about this. After all, the herbs required to produce the Intermediate Recovery Potions and Intermediate Mana Recovery Potions were not expensive.
After all, these herbs were not used by players at all.
Currently, players were all Apprentices. They would be fortunate if they could produce the Basic Recovery Potions. Why would they bother producing other potions that wasted materials? Hence, the herbs required to produce the Intermediate Recovery Potions and Intermediate Mana Recovery Potions were very cheap.
As for Hard Stones, Shifeng did not have to worry about them. He still had a large pile of them, enough for these Blacksmiths. In addition, he could continue to purchase them from Aqua Rose.
With these advantages, as well as the fact that the Trading Firm was selling these items in the prime locations of eight cities, it would be difficult for them to not make a profit. Moreover, Shifeng had also revealed a trump card.
Advanced Whetstones!
The effects of an Advanced Whetstone were far stronger than those of a normal Whetstone. Not only could the Advanced Whetstone recover twice as much durability, but it could also increase damage. It was the equivalent of an additional Buff.
Shifeng had already made up his mind. He would sell each Whetstone for 7 Silver Coins. A stack of 20 Advanced Whetstones would sell for 1 Gold, 40 Silver Coins. As long as he placed these Advanced Whetstones on the second floor of the Trading Firm, the majority of players would fight to purchase them. It was especially true for the large Guilds.
Normally, when raiding an SS, a difference of 1% could decide the outcome of a raid. Meanwhile, the Advanced Whetstones provided an additional 3% damage. How could the various large Guilds, which were in a hurry to raid a Dungeon, miss out on this opportunity?
Previously, Shifeng had only used the Advanced Whetstones he had produced for himself. Afterward, he had distributed some to the other members of his team. Now, he had over 800 Advanced Whetstones remaining. It would be enough for the Starstreak Trading Firm to sell for a long time.
However, Shifeng's plans were far from limited to this.
Now that they had such a large market, if they did not make full use of it, they would not have such an opportunity in the future.
Hence, Shifeng came up with a plan. He wanted to make good use of the Starstreak Trading Firm to prepare for his future Shop.
