"Mainstream players haven't even reached Level 100, yet they already have a 4-star Shop. If the various superpowers of my previous life found out about this, they'd most likely try to devour Ling Yi alive."
Shifeng couldn't help his excitement as he looked at the crimson token in his hand.
In God's Domain, a 4-star Shop Promotion Order was roughly as valuable as a Fragmented Legendary item. However, it was far more difficult to obtain one. Even the various superpowers had very few 4-star Shop Promotion Orders. One could just imagine how rare 4-star Shop Promotion Orders were.
Any power that obtained a 4-star Shop Promotion Order wouldn't be willing to trade a Legendary item for it.
In God's Domain, Shops ranked from 1-star to 3-star were considered ordinary Shops. Every increase of one star would only enhance the Shop's functionality slightly. However, 4-star Shops were considered Advanced Shops. There was a qualitative difference between a 4-star Shop and a 3-star Shop. It was like the difference between a Tier 2 class and a Tier 3 class.
Not only would a 4-star Shop be strengthened, but it would also gain two additional functions.
The first function was the Research Workshop!
The Research Workshop was the greatest aid to Lifestyle players when it came to their Promotion Quests. Not even the Philosopher's Hand or Moon God's Journal could compare to the Research Workshop.
The Research Workshop allowed players to collect data on existing items and discover their flaws. The Research Workshop could then modify, strengthen, and create new items. It was easy to imagine how helpful the Research Workshop would be to Lifestyle players.
In the past, the Research Workshop had been the main reason why some superpowers had been able to nurture so many Master and Grandmaster Lifestyle players. Otherwise, even superpowers wouldn't have been able to nurture so many Master and Grandmaster Lifestyle players if they had relied on their foundations alone. Even superpowers didn't have that many super-rare materials to burn.
Now that Ling Yi had the Research Workshop, not only could he nurture a group of Master Lifestyle players in a short time, but he could also use the Research Workshop to produce a large number of Level 100 weapons and equipment.
In God's Domain, Advanced Weapon and Equipment Designs were already very rare, and after reaching Level 100, the number of Advanced Weapon and Equipment Designs was no longer just "rare." Hence, the various major powers mostly relied on their own players to produce Level 100-plus Advanced Weapon and Equipment Designs.
However, creating Level 100-plus weapons and equipment was easier said than done.
Because of this, after mainstream players reached Level 100, the prices of Level 100-plus advanced weapons and equipment had skyrocketed. Very few experts had been able to equip Level 100-plus advanced weapons and equipment. In fact, some players had been stuck at Level 100 even after reaching Level 110.
It wasn't until the emergence of 4-star Shops that the number of Level 100-plus weapons and equipment began to increase.
Currently, God's Domain's various major powers' experts were only a few steps away from reaching Level 100, not to mention obtaining Level 100-plus weapons and equipment. If Zero Wing could prepare a batch of Level 100-plus weapons and equipment, it would be of great help to both Ling Yi's Tier 3 Promotion Quests and the Guild's experts.
Apart from the research workshop, a 4-star shop also had a second function, which was the second function of the shop.
Storage!
This was the warehouse used to store items. However, the warehouses of 4-star Shops were somewhat special.
After it was opened, the five three-star shops under the four-star shop would all have a shared warehouse. In other words, the four-star shop and the five three-star shops under the four-star shop would all share the same warehouse.
While this might not seem like a big deal, in reality, it was something that countless powers dreamed of.
This was because this shared warehouse not only shared items that could be stored, but also items that could not be stored could also be taken at will.
Transporting non-storage items was one of the major problems in God's Domain, and it was a headache for countless powers. Sharing warehouses were one of the few solutions to this problem. This was why God's Domain's various major powers had been so eager to acquire a 4-star Shop that they were willing to trade Legendary items for.
Of course, the shared warehouse couldn't hold items at any time. Once stored, items would be frozen for 24 hours. Moreover, the number of non-storage items that could be stored in the shared warehouse was very limited. Only 200 items could be stored in the shared warehouse.
Even so, the shared warehouse still saved a lot of trouble and time. Most importantly, it was safe.
If Shadow had possessed a 4-star Shop in the past, it wouldn't have had to take such a huge risk to transport non-bag space items. Unfortunately, 4-star Shops were simply too rare in God's Domain. Only a few superpowers had been able to afford such treatment.
Due to these two major features, 4-star Shops couldn't compete with 3-star Shops, no matter how many 3-star Shops there were. It was no exaggeration to say that a 4-star Shop had a ticket to dominate God's Domain's trade market. Otherwise, one would only be an insignificant spectator.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng immediately collected the Sunset King's loot and stored the Seven Luminaries Crystals and Shenjing in his private warehouse. He then prepared to head to the City Hall to promote his Shop. At the same time, he notified A Melancholy Smile and had it start recruiting members in the various Candlelight Shops outside the Starmoon Kingdom.
Previously, Candlelight had been unable to expand due to a lack of qualifications. Now that they had a 4-star Shop Promotion Order, they naturally couldn't miss this opportunity.
Of course, although they were recruiting, they were only recruiting Candlelight's internal members, not its ordinary members.
In the past, Candlelight's Special Forging Rooms and Meditation Rooms had been limited. Moreover, the competition for Candlelight's members hadn't been as intense. Moreover, it hadn't been particularly difficult to obtain designs and advanced recipes for items below Level 100. However, things would be different in the future.
Designs and recipes dropped from Level 100 neutral maps were extraordinarily valuable. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to obtain as many designs and recipes as they had in the past.
Moreover, now that Otherworlds had arrived on the continent of God's Domain, especially large-scale Otherworlds like the Moon God's Realm, which focused on Lifestyle players, the impact on the continent's economy would be massive. He needed to improve the Guild's Lifestyle players' standards. Hence, he needed to recruit internal members. He didn't want any accidents to happen.
"Guild Leader, our recruitment requirements are already very high. Normally, other powers will offer relatively lenient conditions and even try to recruit them. If we continue to recruit like this, I'm afraid that other powers will take advantage of this opportunity to poach them …" A Melancholy Smile said worriedly when she heard Shifeng's recruitment requirements.
There were many Lifestyle players in God's Domain who disliked restrictions. Hence, the various powers had offered relatively lenient conditions. Candlelight's requirements were already high. If they increased the restrictions, they'd be lucky if their ordinary members didn't run away, not to mention recruiting more members.
Furthermore, Candlelight's competition with Starlink had always been intense. Starlink had always offered high prices to poach Candlelight's members.
"Relax. If they try to poach us …" Shifeng said, chuckling. He then showed the 4-star Shop Promotion Order to Candlelight. "Look at this."
"A 4-star Shop Promotion Order?!" A Melancholy Smile's eyes widened in shock when she saw the dark-red token. "Guild Leader, is this for real?"
Many superpowers in God's Domain had already obtained 3-star Shops, and Candlelight's advantage had diminished. Now, it could only rely on producing Secret Techniques to attract more members.
If Candlelight could get a 4-star Shop Promotion Order, it would undoubtedly give it a significant advantage.
"Of course, it's real." Shifeng was speechless when he saw A Melancholy Smile's excited expression. "Notify your subordinates about the recruitment as soon as possible. We need to do this quickly."
"Okay! I'll notify them right away! "A Melancholy Smile nodded hurriedly.
A Melancholy Smile quickly spread the news of Candlelight's mass recruitment to the various kingdoms and empires.
"What is Candlelight trying to do? It's only recruiting internal members! "
"Candlelight has always been known as the holy land for Lifestyle players. Now, not only does it have such high recruitment requirements, but it also wants internal members. With such conditions, it would be much easier to join another Guild."
Many Lifestyle players laughed in anger when they saw Candlelight's recruitment notice. Many of the Lifestyle players who had intended to join Candlelight had given up on the idea.
Meanwhile, in one of White River City's Advanced Restaurants, two players radiating dense life auras sat before an aloof woman wearing the Intermediate Master Alchemist's Insignia. These two were none other than the female Druid and male Knight, who had come from the Moon God's Realm to investigate the Starmoon Kingdom.
"Wonder, I never thought you'd be here, but you have no future here. Moreover, Ling Yi's Candlelight won't be able to help you much. Why don't you join Dark Pursuit? With your standards, you'll definitely gain a high position in Dark Pursuit and a lot of resources. Those resources aren't something Candlelight can imagine," the female Druid said seriously.
"Cold Memory is right. There are simply too few alchemy resources here. Let alone Ling Yi, even the various superpowers here don't have as many resources as Dark Pursuit. Meanwhile, Yan Xiaoqian has received a lot of support and resources from Dark Pursuit. Do you really want to lose to her in a family competition?" the male Knight said. "You should know that you don't have much time left."
"I understand, but let me think about it," Silent Wonder said, nodding hesitantly.
"Wonder, you can't keep dragging this out. If you can't say anything, I'll go talk to your Guild Leader. Even if he refuses, I don't mind showing him the difference in strength," the female Druid named Cold Memory said confidently, clenching her fists.
"I'll go with you, then. With Dark Pursuit's reputation, he won't dare waste Wonder's time," the male Knight said, nodding.
Elsewhere, the Shifeng had arrived at White River City's City Hall.
"How may I help you, sir?" the NPC beauty at the City Hall's VIP counter asked kindly as she looked at the Shifeng.
"I wish to promote Candlelight to a 4-star Shop. Here is the Promotion Order," the Shifeng said as he took out the Promotion Order.
