Chapter 1577 The Two Great Functions

“The mainstream players haven't even reached Level 100 yet, and Zero Wing already has a Four-Star Shop. If the major superpowers of the previous life found out, they’d probably want to swallow Zero Wing whole,” Shi Feng muttered.

Looking at the crimson-black token in his hand, which shone like jade, Shi Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

In God's Domain, the value of a Four-Star Shop Promotion Order was comparable to a fragment of a Legendary item, but it was far more difficult to obtain. Even superpowers rarely managed to acquire one. One could imagine just how rare they were.

Any power that obtained one wouldn’t trade it away, even for a Legendary item.

In God's Domain, One-Star to Three-Star Shops were just ordinary shops. Each upgrade only enhanced some of their functions. But a Four-Star Shop was in the category of advanced shops. It was a qualitative difference from a Three-Star Shop, like the difference between a Tier 2 and Tier 3 class. They were on completely different levels.

A Four-Star Shop would not only receive further enhancements on its original basis but also come with two major functions.

The first major function was the Research Workshop!

This was the greatest boost for Lifestyle players, something that even the Hand of the Sage and the Mystical Inscription of the Moon couldn’t match.

The Research Workshop could collect data and information on existing items, allowing players to identify their shortcomings, modify and enhance them, and create new items. The benefits for Lifestyle players were immense.

In the previous life, some superpowers were able to nurture many Lifestyle Grandmasters, and even Lifestyle Masters. The Research Workshop was their greatest contributor. Otherwise, even with the backing of a superpower and the burning of rare materials, they could only produce Lifestyle Grandmasters at best. Even a superpower wouldn’t have enough super-rare materials to burn in order to nurture Lifestyle Masters.

Now that Zero Wing had a Research Workshop, with its own considerable foundation and a large pool of talent, it could cultivate a batch of Lifestyle Grandmasters in a short period of time. It could also use the Research Workshop to develop a large number of Level 100 weapons and equipment.

In God's Domain, design blueprints for high-level weapons and equipment were already very rare. But design blueprints for high-level weapons and equipment that reached Level 100 were beyond rare—they were outrageous. Therefore, most powers relied on players to create Level 100 high-level weapons and equipment themselves.

But how easy was it to create high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment?

As a result, after the mainstream players reached Level 100, the prices of high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment were exorbitant. Few experts could equip high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment. Some players even reached Level 110, but their equipment was still stuck at Level 100.

All of this changed with the emergence of Four-Star Shops, and the number of high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment gradually increased.

Currently, the experts of the major powers in God's Domain were still far from reaching Level 100, let alone obtaining high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment. If Zero Wing could prepare a batch of high-level Level 100 weapons and equipment early on, it would be of great help to Zero Wing's experts in advancing to Tier 3, as well as improving the combat power of the guild's experts.

In addition to the Research Workshop, a great weapon, the Four-Star Shop also had a great weapon for shop management, which was the second function.

Warehouse!

That is, the warehouse where the shop stores items. However, the warehouse of the Four-Star Shop was somewhat special.

After opening it, each of the five Three-Star Shops under the Four-Star Shop would have a shared warehouse. That is, the Four-Star Shop and its five subordinate Three-Star Shops would have the same warehouse.

This seemed insignificant, but it was something that countless powers dreamed of.

Because this shared warehouse not only allowed the sharing of storable items, which could be taken and used at will, but also allowed the sharing of non-storable items.

The transportation of non-storable items was a major problem in God's Domain, causing headaches for countless forces. But the shared warehouse was one of the few ways to solve this problem. That was why the major powers of God's Domain were so eager for Four-Star Shops, even willing to trade Legendary items for them.

Of course, items could not be taken from the shared warehouse at any time. After being stored, there was a 24-hour freeze time. Moreover, the number of non-storable items that could be stored in the shared warehouse was very limited, only a scarce 200 items.

But even so, it saved a lot of trouble and transportation time. Most importantly, it was safe.

If the Underworld Guild he was in in his previous life had a Four-Star Shop, he wouldn't have to take such a big risk to transport non-storable items. Unfortunately, Four-Star Shops were too rare in God's Domain. Only a few superpowers had such treatment.

Because of these two major functions, no matter how many Three-Star Shops there were, they could not catch up to a Four-Star Shop. It could be said that whoever had a Four-Star Shop had a ticket to seize the entire God's Domain trade market. Otherwise, they would just be an insignificant onlooker.

Thinking of this, Shi Feng immediately packed up the loot dropped by the Twilight King and stored the obtained Seven Luminaries Crystal and God Crystal in his personal warehouse. He prepared to go to the City Hall to promote the shop. At the same time, he notified Youlan, asking her to start recruiting people in large numbers at the various Candlelight Firms outside the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Previously, there were no conditions, which prevented the Candlelight Firm from expanding. Now that he had the Four-Star Shop Promotion Order, he naturally couldn't let it go.

Of course, although he was recruiting people on a large scale, he was only recruiting internal members of the Candlelight Firm, and not ordinary members with few restrictions.

In the past, the special forging room and meditation room of the Candlelight Firm were ultimately limited in their help, and the competition was not so great. Especially the Level 100 and below item design blueprints and advanced recipes were not difficult to obtain. But things would be different in the future.

Any design blueprint and recipe dropped in a Level 100 neutral land was extremely precious, so it couldn't be the same as before.

Moreover, now that the Miniature Ancient World had come to the God's Domain Continent, especially a large world like the Moon God World, which focused on the development of Lifestyle classes, its economic impact on the God's Domain Continent was not small. It was necessary to improve the level of the guild's Lifestyle players. So he had to have internal members. He didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Guild Leader, our recruitment conditions are already very high. Other forces generally give quite loose conditions, and even frantically grab people. If we recruit people like this, I'm afraid other forces will take the opportunity to grab people..." Youlan couldn't help but worry when she heard the new recruitment conditions Shi Feng said.

In God's Domain, there were too many Lifestyle players who didn't like to be bound, so the major forces offered quite loose conditions. Candlelight's requirements were already high. If the restrictions were increased, let alone recruit more people, it would be good if the original ordinary members didn't run away.

Moreover, they had been competing fiercely with Starlink, constantly offering high prices to poach people, causing them to lose a lot of money.

"Don't worry, if they can poach them." Shi Feng smiled, took out the Four-Star Shop Promotion Order, and showed it off. "Look what this is?"

"Four-Star Shop Promotion Order?!" Youlan's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the crimson-black token. "Guild Leader, is this real?"

Now, many superpowers in God's Domain had Three-Star Shops, which made their Candlelight Firm's advantages less and less. They could only rely on the production secret techniques to attract people.

If the shop could be promoted to Four-Star, it would undoubtedly bring considerable advantages to the Candlelight Firm.

"Of course it's real." Shi Feng looked at Youlan's excited expression and couldn't help but be speechless. "You should also notify people about the recruitment as soon as possible. This matter must be done quickly."

"Okay! I'll go notify them now." Youlan nodded repeatedly.

Soon, Youlan spread the news that the Candlelight Firm was going to recruit a large number of people, which spread throughout the major kingdoms and empires.

"What exactly does this Candlelight want to do? It only recruits internal members!"

"It's always been rumored to be a holy land for Lifestyle players. I guess it's inflated. The recruitment requirements are already so high, and they still want you to become an internal member. With these conditions, it's better to go to other guilds. That's much more carefree."

Many Lifestyle players couldn't help but laugh when they saw the Candlelight recruitment notice. Many Lifestyle players who originally wanted to join the Candlelight Firm wanted to give up.

In an upscale restaurant in White River City, two players with a strong aura of life were sitting in front of a cold and beautiful woman wearing a Intermediate Alchemist Master badge. These two were the female druid and male knight from the Moon God World who were investigating the Star-Moon Kingdom.

"Wu Yin, I really didn't expect you to be here. But you have no prospects for development here, and a Zero Wing's Candlelight Firm can't help you. It's better to join our Pursuing Shadow Alliance. With your level, you can definitely get a high position in the Pursuing Shadow Alliance and get a lot of resources. Those resources are unimaginable to a Candlelight." The female druid looked at Miao Wu Yin and said seriously.

"Yi Han is right. The alchemy resources here are too few. Let alone a Zero Wing, even the resources obtained by those superpowers here are far worse than the Pursuing Shadow Alliance. And Yuan Xiaoqian has obtained a lot of resources and support from the Pursuing Shadow Alliance. Do you really want to lose to her in the family competition?" The male knight on the side also said, "You need to know, your time is running out."

"I understand, but let me think about it again." Miao Wu Yin nodded, somewhat hesitant.

"Wu Yin, it's not a solution for you to keep dragging on like this. If you can't speak up, I'll just go talk to your guild leader now. If he doesn't agree, I don't mind letting him know what the difference in strength is." The female druid named Yi Han clenched her fists and said confidently.

"Then I'll go with you. I think with the name of our Pursuing Shadow Alliance, he wouldn't dare waste Wu Yin's time." The male knight nodded.

On the other side, Shi Feng also arrived at the White River City Hall.

"Sir, how can I help you?" The beautiful NPC at the VIP counter in the City Hall looked at Shi Feng and asked kindly.

"I want to promote the Candlelight Firm to a Four-Star Shop. This is the Promotion Order." Shi Feng took out the Promotion Order and said directly.
