News of Hei Yan's actions quickly spread throughout Maple City.
Overwhelming Smile and Ling Yi were already in an all-out war. Hence, everyone felt that Hei Yan's actions were reasonable. They even had high hopes for the Ling YI Society.
Normally, when Overwhelming Smile occupied the high-resource area of Maple City, many players were dissatisfied. However, they did not dare voice their dissatisfaction. Now that someone had appeared to deal with Overwhelming Smile, they naturally clapped their hands in joy.
However, at the same time, there was another matter that made Maple City's players very excited.
A player-owned Shop had appeared in Maple City, and the name of this Shop was Candlelight.
Candlelight sold a wide variety of goods. The most valuable item was the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit. Many players had never seen this item before, and when they saw it, they started frantically purchasing it. Compared to the Overwhelming Trading Firm, the Basic Strengthened Armor Kit was much better.
Naturally, some people were happy about Candlelight's opening, while others were sad.
While Maple City's players were celebrating, Youlan, who resided in the Overwhelming Trading Firm, was furious.
"Candlelight!" Youlan gnashed her teeth.
She had never imagined that Candlelight would have prepared for this. They had actually obtained a plot of Land in Maple City's central district. However, this was not the most infuriating part. The most despicable part was that Candlelight's Shop was located not far from the Overwhelming Trading Firm.
Due to Candlelight's superior product, many of the players that had originally come to the Overwhelming Trading Firm had switched to the Candlelight Trading Firm.
"Boss, what should we do now? If this continues, Candlelight will snatch away our customers, "a trading firm manager asked worriedly.
"We have no choice. We can only fight a price war. Reduce the price of all items," Youlan sighed helplessly. She had no good ideas about this, unless she could obtain some exclusive items to sell. Otherwise, she had no way of competing with Candlelight. However, compared to White River City, the Overwhelming Trading Firm had quite a bit of capital. The Overwhelming Trading Firm could be considered to have some capital. It could be considered to be on the same starting line as Candlelight. Including the fact that the Overwhelming Trading Firm was on their home turf, the cost of collecting materials would be significantly lower. Naturally, the Overwhelming Trading Firm's production costs would be lower. Hence, the Overwhelming Trading Firm had a chance of competing with Candlelight.
In God's Domain's Shops, although the Shops in various cities shared the same items, players who consigned their items for sale in their own city's Shops would not be charged a cross-city fee. However, players who purchased items from other cities would be charged a cross-city fee. Although it wasn't much, it was still 8%. One could say that it was a form of protection for the city's player shops.
In other words, Candlelight's headquarters was located in White River City. Moreover, the cost of selling items in Maple City would increase imperceptibly. This was very beneficial to the Overwhelming Trading Firm.
Sure enough, after the Overwhelming Trading Firm reduced its prices, aside from players who wanted to purchase items the Overwhelming Trading Firm did not have, most of the other players rushed to the Overwhelming Trading Firm.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Ridge, the Shifeng were overjoyed.
Wave after wave of Overwhelming Smile players sacrificed themselves. Finally, Icarus's Heart was promoted to Dark-Gold rank. He was only one step away from the Epic stage.
[Icarus's Heart] (Necklace, Dark-Gold Rank (Can be evolved)) Equipment Requirement: All Attributes 120 Equipment Level 20 - Level 80
All Attributes + 27 Luck + 14 (Current Attributes Level 30)
Divine Providence: Temporarily increases player's Luck by 32 points. Duration: 30 seconds Cooldown: 40 minutes Luck, duration, and Cooldown will increase, extend, and decrease depending on the amount of Life Force sacrificed. Can sacrifice up to 100 points of Life Force at a time.
Evolution Condition: Needs to absorb the Life Force of 5,000 players to evolve to Epic Rank. Currently, the necklace already has 14 points of Luck. It was much better than the initial 5 points of Luck. However, Shifeng was not optimistic about this point. Instead, they were more interested in the changes to Divine Providence.
Divine Providence had evolved from a Basic Skill into a Special-Type Skill.
Unlike Basic Skills, Special-Type Skills' effects would change depending on certain conditions. Currently, Divine Providence had become a Special-Type Skill.
Depending on the amount of Life Force sacrificed, Divine Providence could display different effects. Can sacrifice up to 100 points of Life Force.
Currently, Icarus's Heart had 748 points of Life Force stored in it. In other words, Shifeng could display Icarus's Heart's maximum effect seven times.
Now that Icarus's Heart's Cooldown is over, I can test out its effects. Shifeng could not help his excitement as he looked at the shiny gemstone around his neck.
The base Luck required to activate Divine Providence was 46 points. This was definitely the highest amount of Luck Shifeng had ever seen.
If he sacrificed Life Force as well, the increase would be frightening.
Following which, Shifeng took out over a dozen Twilight Treasure Chests from his bag and activated Divine Providence. At the same time, he sacrificed 100 points of Life Force.
In the blink of an eye, his Luck increased to 66 points. The duration of Divine Providence also increased to 40 seconds, and the Cooldown was 30 minutes.
Shifeng hurriedly opened the Twilight Treasure Chests.
It took three seconds to open one Twilight Treasure Chest. With 40 seconds, he could barely open 12 chests. He would have to spend several seconds switching chests in between.
Although Shifeng felt that it was a pity, when he thought about the effects of sacrificing Life Force, he was still delighted.
With 66 points of Luck, if he used it to kill monsters, the loot would definitely be frightening. He might even trigger an extremely rare Great Drop, doubling the number of items dropped. Every item dropped would be excellent.
The only pity was that he needed 100 points of Life Force each time.
Today, he had killed quite a few Overwhelming Smile players because they had let their guard down. However, now that they had taken precautions, it would not be easy for him to obtain 100 points of Life Force. If he had to kill as he pleased, he would not do such a thing.
Although there were many people in this world who did not have a bottom line, and this was even more true in games, Shifeng had his own bottom line. After all, this was the foundation of being human. Otherwise, he would be no different from an animal.
Following which, Shifeng began collecting the items inside the Twilight Treasure Chests.
"Awesome!" Shifeng could not help but laugh. "Sure enough, 66 points of Luck is amazing."
Among the twelve Twilight Treasure Chests, he had actually obtained four pieces of Tier 1 Set Equipment. They were for Shield Warriors, Guardian Knights, Assassins, and Clerics respectively. Among them, the Tier 1 Set Equipment for Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights were the most difficult to obtain.
Now, he had collected four pieces of the Yin and Yang Walker set for Guardian Knights. He was only missing a pair of boots.
He had collected three pieces of the Mana Storm Set Equipment for Tier 1 Elementalists.
He had collected four pieces of the Dark Melody Set Equipment for Tier 1 Assassins. Similarly, he was only missing a head.
He had collected three pieces of the Forest Guard Set Equipment for Tier 1 Rangers.
He had collected three pieces of the Heroic Heart Set Equipment for Tier 1 Shield Warriors.
He had collected two pieces of the Phantom Set Equipment for Tier 1 Cursemancer.
He had collected three pieces of the Angelic Wings Set Equipment for Tier 1 Clerics.
It could be said that he had collected more than half of the various Tier 1 Set Equipment. It would not be long before he could complete the various Tier 1 Set Equipment. At that time, when he raided large-scale Team Dungeons with Tier 1 Set Equipment, who would be able to compete with Ling Yi?
Just thinking about it gave Shifeng a sense of satisfaction. With such equipment, he would be able to steamroll a 100-man Team Dungeon, not to mention a 50-man Team Dungeon.
