Star-Moon City, inside the Sky Burial Society's Residence:
"Guild Leader, I've just received news that four Advanced Lifestyle players from Candlelight have agreed to our conditions. Moreover, Candlelight has no intention of forcing them to stay. As long as we transfer the money, they'll immediately release them," the Cleric, Flame Blood, reported excitedly when he received the news.
Advanced Lifestyle players were extremely rare at this stage of the game. They were also precious combat power that could compete for market share. Hence, the various large Guilds kept a tight lid on them, not giving other Guilds an opportunity to nurture them. However, nurturing these Lifestyle players required a lot of time and resources. Hence, it would be very difficult for trading firms to become competitive in the short term.
Hence, Singular Burial had used several Masters as bait and offered conditions that Advanced Lifestyle players could not easily refuse.
He had never imagined that the results would be so effective. He had managed to poach four Advanced Lifestyle players at once. This would significantly weaken Candlelight.
Moreover, with Heaven's Burial's resources, even if Heaven's Burial's poached Advanced Lifestyle players lost their Proficiency, and all of their designs and recipes were erased, Heaven's Burial could quickly restore them to their original standards. This would save them a lot of time and resources compared to directly nurturing Advanced Lifestyle players.
"Hei Yan really is an interesting person. Despite the various large Guilds holding onto these Lifestyle players, he is actually so generous as to release four of them. It seems that he is quite confident in Candlelight." Singular Burial's lips twitched involuntarily when he heard this news. He could not help but admire the Shifeng, Candlelight's helmsman.
Four Advanced Lifestyle players!
The Sky Burial Society had invested so many resources into the Heavenly Trading Firm, yet they had only nurtured five Advanced Lifestyle players. Among them, three had only recently been promoted to Advanced Lifestyle classes.
Candlelight's decision to give up four Advanced Lifestyle players was no different from giving up half of the Heavenly Trading Firm …
"Guild Leader, will there be any problems with these Advanced Lifestyle players?" Daybreak Fog, who sat beside Singular Burial, asked worriedly.
"That shouldn't be the case. I've personally spoken with those people. Their production techniques and success rates are solid," Singular Burial said, shaking his head. Singular Burial shook his head slightly. Chuckling, he said, "Since Candlelight is so generous, there's no need for us to be polite. Uncle Seven, go and settle this matter. We can't let other Guilds snatch these four away."
With the addition of these four Advanced Lifestyle players and the support of the five Masters, it wouldn't be long before the Starmoon Kingdom's number one trading company changed its name.
Once the Heavenly Trading Company squeezed out Candlelight and had absolute financial security, the Sky Burial Society would take the first step towards conquering the entire Starmoon Kingdom.
"Guild Leader, rest assured; I'll head over right away," Seven Treasures said before leaving the meeting room and dashing towards Star-Moon City's Teleportation Hall.
…
On the streets of Titan City, A Melancholy Smile and the others were intoxicated by the dense Mana drifting through the city.
A Melancholy Smile and Cream Cocoa, who were here for the first time, were moved by this dense magic.
"This city's Mana density is probably higher than the Basic Meditation Room's!" A Melancholy Smile was astonished when she sensed the city's Mana.
The Basic Meditation Room only had slightly more Mana than the Special Workshop.
However, due to the Mana density, Intermediate Lifestyle players had a much easier time getting promoted to Advanced Lifestyle players.
The Proficiency of Lifestyle classes was slightly different from the EXP earned by combat players.
For example, when an Intermediate Forger was promoted to an Advanced Forger, once their Proficiency reached a certain level, they would no longer be able to increase their forging Proficiency even if they crafted Common items of the same rank. At that time, they would have to craft rare items of the same rank to continue increasing their forging Proficiency.
However, toward the end, even rare items of the same rank would no longer be able to increase their forging Proficiency. At that time, they would have to craft items of a higher rank to continue increasing their forging Proficiency.
Meanwhile, if an Intermediate Forger were to craft an item that only an Advanced Forger could craft, the success rate would be unimaginable.
If they failed to complete the production steps without any mistakes, they would waste a frightening amount of materials. Moreover, the item they were crafting was an Advanced item. Even Super Guilds wouldn't dare to gamble like this.
At the end of the day, Guilds nurtured Lifestyle players for the sake of making money. Although Guilds would make some initial investments, these investments would not be endless.
In Candlelight, rare materials were extremely limited. It was impossible for everyone to produce an unlimited amount of high-quality items. Hence, Candlelight's trading firm would conduct a quantitative assessment every once in a while to distribute the rare materials everyone could obtain each day.
Those with a higher forging success rate would naturally receive more rare materials. This way, they would be able to increase their forging Proficiency every day. Naturally, their leveling speed would also be faster.
Due to this reason …
The Mana density in the Basic Meditation Room was extremely important. The dense Mana in the room would allow players to maintain a calm mind and a high degree of concentration at all times. This way, they would be less likely to make mistakes when crafting items, reducing unnecessary mistakes. Naturally, their forging success rate would increase, and their leveling speed would also increase.
This was also why the various large Guilds were willing to pay a huge price to poach Advanced Lifestyle players instead of nurturing their own.
Following which, A Melancholy Smile led everyone to the Titan Lifestyle Association.
According to the Shifeng's request, Candlelight had rented a Special Workshop for everyone for three days. After including the cost of some designs and recipes, Candlelight had spent over 4,000 Gold.
This stupefied Cream Cocoa and the others.
Even a first-rate Guild would have to scrimp and save for a long time to come up with 4,000 Gold, not to mention other Guilds.
None of them had expected the trading firm to spend so much Gold on them.
Only now did they understand why the trading firm had to sign such a strict agreement.
If not for the Coins they had just earned through the teleportation house, A Melancholy Smile's heart would've stopped beating by now.
How was this supposed to help them improve their Proficiency and techniques? They were here to embellish their wealth.
However, after A Melancholy Smile entered the Lifestyle Association's Special Workshop, his thoughts changed.
The workshop was only half the size of Candlelight's Special Workshop. However, the Mana density here was at least two to three times that of the outside world. His mind was also unprecedentedly clear.
Inside this Special Workshop, aside from the Mana density, there was also a large amount of production information that could be accessed.
A Melancholy Smile casually searched for information on the Strengthening Device's production. Immediately, dozens of pages of information appeared before him. Among them, there were also several Master Forgers' production videos and key points.
"A Master Forger production video?" A Melancholy Smile could not help but click on the video out of curiosity.
