Following which, Shifeng retrieved the purple token from his bag.
Two large words were written on the token.
Promotion!
However, this Promotion Order was not a Guild Promotion Order.
In God's Domain, all tokens were extraordinarily valuable. Among them were Guild Promotion Orders, Special Construction Orders, and so on. However, the rarest of all tokens were Shop Promotion Orders.
Meanwhile, the token before him was none other than a Shop Promotion Order.
All Shops purchased by players in NP cities had a starting rank of 1-star. Regardless of whether it was a 300-Gold Shop or a 1,000-Gold Shop, they were all 1-star. Only, 1,000-Gold Shops were more luxurious and had slightly more functions.
However, once a Shop was promoted to 2-star, it would be fundamentally different from a 1-star Shop. It would greatly improve a Lifestyle player's performance.
It was extremely difficult to obtain a Shop Promotion Order. Unlike the Guild Promotion Order, which could be obtained from Dungeons, Shop Promotion Orders could only be obtained by accepting some special quests or opening Treasure Chests. However, not just any Treasure Chest could be obtained.
This Treasure Chest could not be lower than Level 40, and only Fine-Gold rank or above could obtain one.
Even Treasure Chests without any quality like the Twilight Treasure Chest had a chance of obtaining one.
However, obtaining a Shop Promotion Order from a Treasure Chest was simply too difficult. Normally, players would complete a Challenge Quest. However, since it was a Challenge Quest related to a Shop Promotion, it was naturally not easy to accept or complete. The Challenge Quest was no less difficult than an Epic Quest. Hence, very few Shops could complete it.
Hence, Shop Promotion Orders obtained from Treasure Chests were extremely valuable. Countless merchants would offer astronomical prices to purchase them.
Shi Feng had obtained this item due to his heaven-defying luck.
"With this item, Candlelight can finally have an absolute position in White River City." Shifeng stored the Shop Promotion Order and took out a Return Scroll.
Now that Overwhelming Smile's members were no longer easy to find, there was no need for him to remain here.
Now that he had obtained a Shop Promotion Order, he naturally had to upgrade his Shop.
In God's Domain's settings … Unlike other virtual reality games, upgrading a Shop required a Promotion Order. As long as one Shop was promoted, all of the other Shops would be promoted. This made the Shop Promotion Order extremely valuable. Hence, players had to consider carefully when choosing a Shop.
However, Shifeng had long since made up his mind.
White River City was Ling Yi's foundation. Naturally, the Shop Promotion Order would be used on the Shops in White River City. As for the Shops in Star-Moon City and Maple City, unless Shi Feng had extra Promotion Orders, he would not waste them on these two cities.
Shifeng returned to Maple Leaf City through the Return Scroll.
The Shifeng were not in a hurry to return to White River City. Instead, they visited the Overwhelming Trading Firm first.
Overwhelming Smile's hidden trump card had already been heavily damaged by him. Their dungeon strategy had also been severely damaged. Furthermore, he had killed many of their elite members. This was a significant blow to Overwhelming Smile. As for Overwhelming Smile in White River City, due to the limited amount of resources they had obtained, their development speed had been severely affected. If they continued to develop, the gap between Overwhelming Smile and Ling Yi would only continue to grow.
The only thing that could give Overwhelming Smile a fighting chance was the Overwhelming Trading Firm.
If the Overwhelming Trading Firm were to develop, Overwhelming Smile would have enough Coins to wear down Ling Yi. In addition to their abundant funds and powerful background, the Guild's development speed would soar by leaps and bounds. After all, Underworld was a massive organization. The Guild had long since established a mechanism for nurturing experts. Only, everyone was not familiar with God's Domain yet. However, once they became familiar with the game, with sufficient Coins and funds, as well as the guidance of experts, nurturing experts would be extraordinarily fast.
Although the Ling YI Society appeared to be flourishing right now, in reality, it was far from comparable to the various large Guilds. This was especially true when it came to nurturing experts.
After all was said and done, God's Domain was a second world created by humans. It was not a short-term game. The strength of a Guild was never determined by a momentary success or failure. Instead, it depended on whether it could maintain its strength.
In God's Domain, many Guilds had flourished for a period of time. However, as time passed, they would eventually fade away. In the end, they still declined and disappeared. From this, one could see the difference between the Guilds. This was also why Shadow had only been a second-rate Guild in the past. It was a newly established Guild. Shadow did not even have a mechanism for nurturing experts. Although it had begun to establish such a mechanism in the middle stages of the game, it was still far from comparable to first-rate Guilds.
Hence, the Ling YI Society wanted to establish such a mechanism for nurturing experts as soon as possible. Only then would the Ling YI Society become truly powerful.
This was also why the various first-rate Guilds looked down on the Ling YI Society.
Even if they thought that Shadow was strong now, what would happen in a few months or one or two years?
Any first-rate Guild that could become a first-rate Guild had at least a decade of history. Some even had decades of history.
When the Shifeng arrived before the Overwhelming Trading Firm, he saw players walking in and out of the building. As for Candlelight, which was a short distance away, although there were quite a few players there as well, their numbers were far fewer than the Overwhelming Trading Firm's.
"The Overwhelming Trading Firm's items are really cheap. I can buy another set of Advanced Whetstones with the money I saved."
"That's right. Not only are the items cheap, but I never thought that the Overwhelming Trading Firm would introduce a new product. It's a pity that there are too few of them. I didn't manage to get my hands on one."
"Are you talking about the Magic Damage Potion?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm an Elementalist. If I drink that potion, my magic damage will increase by 5% for half an hour. It'll be of great help when grinding monsters in Dungeons."
Originally, the Shifeng had intended to enter the building to take a look. However, when he heard several players discussing the Overwhelming Trading Firm, he could not help but stop and listen.
"Magic Damage Potion?" Shifeng was no stranger to this item. It was a recipe that only had a chance of dropping from Level 20 Hell Mode Team Dungeons. However, the production difficulty was not low. At the very least, one needed to be an Alchemist. Moreover, the production success rate was only 20% to 30%.
"Sure enough, Underworld cannot be underestimated. I've just established a Shop in Maple City, yet someone has already produced such a potion." Shifeng was not surprised by this news. After all, a large Guild like Underworld did not just focus on combat. They would definitely nurture many Lifestyle players as well. It was normal for someone to be able to produce the potion.
However, this was not good news for Candlelight.
The Magic Damage Potion was not exclusive to Candlelight. The Ling YI Society had also obtained its recipe. However, there were very few people capable of producing the potion. Even Candlelight had yet to nurture an Alchemist. Hence, they could not produce the potion.
Following which, Shifeng did not linger. He immediately headed to the Teleportation Hall and returned to White River City.
Upon arriving at White River City, the first thing Shifeng did was head to the City Hall and upgrade the Candlelight Shop beside the Auction House to a 2-star Shop.
Once the Shop was upgraded to a 2-star Shop, the building would be upgraded as well. However, it would cost a lot of Coins to reconstruct.
Without hesitation, Shifeng spent another 1,000 Gold to reconstruct the Shop. The reconstruction did not take much time, completing it in a dozen or so minutes. Instantly, the three-story-tall Candlelight Shop became a five-story-tall building. It was extremely eye-catching in front of the Auction House, attracting the attention of many players.
It was common knowledge that all Shops were, at most, three stories tall. In the entire God's Domain, there was not a single Shop that exceeded three stories. Yet, now, Candlelight Shop was a five-story-tall building.
"Guild Leader, what did you do?"
"Why did the Shop become a five-story-tall building?"
