Chapter 2247 The Wanderer's Shop Upgrades
"A passage to the West Continent of God's Domain?" Shi Feng paused slightly, surprised by what he heard.
The God's Domain Continent was divided into east and west continents, separated by a great distance. Even using a flying mount, it would take an unknown number of days, not to mention the terrifying sea beasts and monsters of level 180 or even higher that infested the route.
It could be said that even if players reached Tier 3, very few could travel to the other continent.
Generally, they could only rely on teleportation magic arrays or special passages left over from ancient times, like Star Ring. They must have mastered a secret teleportation passage.
However, he had never heard of a passage from Dragonheart City to the West Continent in his previous life.
This was not because his information was lacking, nor because the guild in his previous life was too weak to know. Such a thing would definitely cause a sensation throughout the entire continent, just like now. Guilds from various kingdoms and empires, and even forces from neutral races, had come to Dragonheart City, making it hard not to know.
A passage that could travel back and forth between the two continents represented unimaginable opportunities and wealth. After all, the civilizations of the two continents were completely different, and due to the great distance, their development focuses were also different. The business opportunities were self-evident, otherwise War Spirit Unyielding and Crimson Emperor, two top-tier guilds, would not have lost to Star Ring.
"I'm not very clear about the specifics. I just came with a friend, and my friend has already gone to find out." Qin Yin explained.
"Big Brother Black Flame, why don't you come with us to take a look? Qingzhu and I have been to many places, but we have never been to the West Continent," Qingzhu said, proactively inviting Shi Feng.
"My friend has been developing in Dragonheart City and has excellent connections and information. I believe we can find out what's going on soon." Qin Yin nodded in agreement. Shi Feng was, after all, the president of the Zero Wing Guild, so it wasn't easy for her to invite him. Since Qingzhu had spoken, they could invite Shi Feng to come along, thereby improving their relationship with him.
Zero Wing had been very successful recently, and the Reaper Workshop had been much more restrained, allowing Ninth Heaven to develop in peace. Now that Shi Feng clearly didn't know about the West Continent passage, she could do him a favor.
"Alright, but I need to take care of some things before I can go with you," Shi Feng said after thinking for a moment.
The matter of the West Continent passage was indeed tempting. If he could go to the West Continent early on, it could bring countless wealth and resources. Since Qin Yin had invited him, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
"That's not a problem. My friend will need some time to investigate anyway, and we're just window-shopping here," Qin Yin said, delighted that Shi Feng had agreed.
Zero Wing's strength was already self-evident. They might become another giant in the future, and strengthening their relationship now could greatly help Ninth Heaven in the future.
Afterward, Shi Feng arranged a meeting place with Qin Yin and the others and headed directly to the Wanderer's Shop.
At this time, many players had gathered on the desolate streets near the Wanderer's Shop, all trying to find out information about the West Continent passage.
"Although the West Continent passage is quite unexpected, it has brought many players here, which has saved me a lot of trouble."
Shi Feng glanced at these people. These players were all experts, either members of large guilds or members of well-known adventure teams. Compared to ordinary experts, they were much more sensitive to things.
He had been worried about how to attract players to the Wanderer's Shop after its upgrade and sell the Black Market Teleportation quota at a good price, but now he didn't have to worry at all.
Soon, Shi Feng entered the Wanderer's Shop.
The Wanderer's Shop had three floors and was very old. The items sold inside were of no interest to expert players, let alone ordinary players. The only people who came were NPCs, and the daily turnover was simply tear-jerking.
System: Player has a Bronze-rank Shop Promotion Order. Do you want to promote the Wanderer's Shop?
"Promote," Shi Feng said without hesitation.
After Shi Feng chose to promote, the Bronze-rank Shop Promotion Order in his backpack turned into a stream of light and disappeared, and the entire Wanderer's Shop began to change.
The changes were not visible from the outside, but the inside was undergoing a complete transformation.
Although the first floor was still a bit dilapidated, the items sold on the counter were no longer miscellaneous items, but some magical items that could tempt players, even Tier 2 magic scrolls were on sale.
Among these magical items, there were also items that surprised Shi Feng.
Mental Magic Stones!
This was a special ore, a kind of consumable that was rarely seen in God's Domain. Embedded in equipment, it could allow players to better perceive magic.
Perceiving magic was useless to non-magic players, but it was a treasure that magic players would pay a fortune for, because improving magic perception could allow players to better improve the completion of magic skills. After all, the use of magic was different from other skills and completely depended on the player's control of magic. Clearer perception naturally made it easier to control.
If the current magic experts knew about such an item, they would probably go crazy trying to get it.
However, after Shi Feng looked at the price, sweat broke out on his forehead.
A Mental Magic Stone cost a full 400 Ancient Gold Coins!
Mental Magic Stones were consumables that only lasted for seven natural days after being embedded. Ancient Gold Coins were so rare and difficult to earn that even very strong expert players would probably need months to earn that much.
"As expected of the black market, everything is so black." Shi Feng suddenly felt that it might not be so easy to make money through the Wanderer's Shop. It wasn't that the Wanderer's Shop didn't have good goods, but that few players could afford them.
The quota for the Black Market Teleportation Gate was currently only 20 per day, with a minimum selling price of 200 Ancient Gold Coins each. As the shop owner, he could get a 10% commission. If all of them were sold at the minimum price, he could earn 400 Ancient Gold Coins a day, which was simply outrageous.
Ordinary two-star general stores or two-star forging workshops were lucky to earn 200 Ancient Gold Coins a day, while the Wanderer's Shop could earn 400 Ancient Gold Coins a day just from the teleportation gate. This was just the beginning. As the traffic and transaction volume of the Wanderer's Shop continued to increase, the number of teleportation gate quotas would also increase, and the more he could earn.
"No wonder everyone in my previous life said that the Wanderer's Shop was a gold mine that all the super forces coveted. It really is a gold mine. The daily profit is comparable to one-sixth or even one-fifth of the profit of those newly developed fortresses."
Shi Feng looked at the other items in the Wanderer's Shop. If they sold well, he should have an income of more than 500 Ancient Gold Coins a day. This income was probably all that the first-rate forces developing in Dragonheart City were making these days.
As for the fortresses inside the World Tower, not everyone had the ability to explore them, let alone after the exploration of these fortresses, which were not comparable to those outside, requiring a large number of experts to be stationed there for a long time. These fortresses were attacked by monster hordes every day, and the manpower and material resources spent were no joke. It could even be said that ordinary super forces could not afford it.
The Wanderer's Shop had no risk and could get one-sixth or even one-fifth of the income of a fortress in the early stages, which was simply a windfall.
