Chapter 1 No Chance

"So, they're not giving me any chance at all." Shi Feng looked at the system notification, a wry smile on his face.

He didn't even have the right to refuse an Epic quest.

He really didn't understand how Qianhuan Wanmie had completed this Epic quest back then. Even if he gambled away the entire Illusory World Divine Palace, it probably wouldn't be enough.

Three thousand gold coins converted to credits would be three hundred million credits, enough to buy a large company.

Compared to earning three hundred million credits in reality, earning three thousand gold coins in the early stages of God's Domain was much more difficult.

Of course, it was even more impossible for Shi Feng to earn three hundred million in reality. If he had that ability, he would have already done it. Why bother playing God's Domain?

However, developing in God's Domain would be better, because God's Domain had unlimited potential. Developing in God's Domain could earn more and faster than in reality.

"Your Highness Night Blade, from now on, the entire Starstreak Trading Firm will be under your control and command. We will definitely ensure execution. In addition, I will introduce someone to Your Highness. You can feel free to order her to do anything." Henry clapped his hands.

The door suddenly opened, and a stunning woman with golden hair and blue eyes walked in. She wore a gorgeous deep purple dress, the translucent skirt scattered on the bright red carpet. Her wavy golden hair cascaded down her hips. Her fair and pretty face had hair that danced freely. Slanted bangs covered her azure left eye, while her exposed right eye was as bright and alluring as a sapphire. Her thin, vermilion lips always carried a sweet and charming smile.

"Anna, from now on, His Highness Night Blade will be the acting president of the Starstreak Trading Firm, and you will be His Highness's assistant. You must assist His Highness well, understand?" Henry asked.

"Yes, President. Anna will definitely not disappoint His Highness Night Blade."

Then Henry turned to Shi Feng with a beaming smile and said, "Your Highness Night Blade, the fate of the Starstreak Trading Firm will be entrusted to you from now on. Anna is very familiar with the Starstreak Trading Firm, and she is also smart and capable. Feel free to let her do whatever you need."

System: Player has triggered the NPC Management System, opening the NPC Management Interface, allowing the player to manage subordinate NPCs.

Looking at Henry's beaming expression, coupled with Anna's alluring appearance, Shi Feng was slightly stunned, almost breaking out in a sweat.

It was obvious that Henry was worried that he wouldn't do his best, so he gave him this 'benefit'.

"Alright, I'll take care of the Starstreak Trading Firm's affairs." Shi Feng smiled calmly. He didn't expect to get a beautiful assistant in God's Domain. Even a guild leader wouldn't have such treatment.

Moreover, Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't have to give the Starstreak Trading Firm three thousand gold. He only had to make the Starstreak Trading Firm earn three thousand gold coins in net profit. This undoubtedly reduced the difficulty a lot.

Immediately, Shi Feng opened the system interface to take a look at the NPC management interface.

Anna, Assistant to Night Blade, Female, Age 20, Loyalty 50, Charisma 86, Constitution 60, Intelligence 91, Level 50, HP 100,000.

"How is her intelligence so high!" Shi Feng was very surprised after seeing the data displayed by the system.

Because in God's Domain, intelligence represented the potential of an NPC.

Generally, the intelligence of an NPC would not exceed 50 points. Those who could reach 60 points were NPCs with extraordinary status in God's Domain. Reaching 70 points was almost the level of a Tier 2 mage. 90 points of intelligence was equivalent to the level of a Tier 3 priest, Xia Lian, but Anna was much stronger than Xia Lian, because Xia Lian was a Tier 3 class and her attributes would be improved, but Anna didn't have a class now.

If Anna became a Tier 3 class, then her intelligence would probably exceed one hundred points.

Don't underestimate the increase of only ten points. The higher the value of intelligence, the slower the improvement, and the bigger the difference. One hundred points was equivalent to Whiteman, the governor of White River City, who was a Tier 4 top-level mage.

Having such a powerful subordinate made Shi Feng feel a lot better.

Although three thousand gold was a huge pressure, after thinking about it, Shi Feng thought that if he earned it through the Starstreak Trading Firm, there was still a glimmer of hope.

Since he alone could earn one hundred gold a day, if he used the power of the Starstreak Trading Firm and combined it with the population base of the eight major cities, the possibility was very high.

The Starstreak Trading Firm had shops in the central trade zone in these eight cities, and the number of players in the eight cities exceeded five million. With such a large base, it would be much easier to earn money.

Thinking of this, Shi Feng had a flash of inspiration.

He had always wanted to open a shop in White River City, but he didn't have enough reputation and money to buy it, because even the cheapest shop in White River City required 500 points of White River City reputation, and such a shop would cost 1,000 to 5,000 gold coins to buy, let alone the shops in the trade zone and the most valuable shops.

It seemed very expensive, but it wasn't that expensive, because the most difficult thing was the 500 points of White River City reputation. When players got 500 points of White River City reputation, it would be much easier to earn money, and gold coins wouldn't be as valuable as they were now, almost one gold equal to about 200 credits, instead of one silver coin being more than 100 credits like now.

Now it was as if Shi Feng had gotten the most valuable shops in eight cities for free.

What did this mean?

Probably no one knew better than Shi Feng.

So Shi Feng asked Anna to take him away from the president's office to visit the Starstreak Trading Firm.

In fact, even without visiting, Shi Feng knew the Starstreak Trading Firm very well.

NPCs were different from players. They could only sell common items, and even the equipment was only of ordinary grade, and rarely of bronze grade. It would be very different if players were to run it.

Especially him, the chief blacksmith of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Just as Anna was taking Shi Feng around the Starstreak Trading Firm, some players who came to buy water, food, scrolls, and potions were stunned by this scene.

"That NPC is so beautiful!"

"Who is that player? His flirting skills are too amazing. He can even get an NPC sister. No, I want to become his disciple."

Shi Feng and Anna walking together immediately attracted the attention of many players. In fact, it wasn't just because Anna was too beautiful, but because Shi Feng could actually get together with a beautiful NPC. This was more explosive than playing God's Domain with a beautiful girlfriend. It was simply too cool, and countless male players were envious. They all started to spread this news on the official website, especially recording videos of Shi Feng and Anna shopping together.

And this video caused a huge sensation, allowing players to have a new understanding of God's Domain.

Fortunately, Shi Feng didn't use his own face, but used the appearance of the Black Flame alt.

"It should be about time." Shi Feng looked at the crowd and smiled faintly. He had Anna bring him out to shop in order to attract attention, and then looked at Anna and said, "I've decided to change the business model of the Starstreak Trading Firm. I wonder if it's feasible?"

Anna's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Shi Feng in disbelief. He was directly making drastic changes as soon as he took office. Was this person really a business genius?

However, Shi Feng was her boss, and President Henry had already said that they should listen to Shi Feng, so she nodded and said respectfully, "If Your Highness wants to change the business model, I wonder what you need me to do?"

"It's very simple. I want to hire adventurers to make items for me and sell the items they make. So now you have others redecorate and reorganize the shops in the eight cities. The first and second floors will be used to sell items, and the fourth to sixth floors will be converted into workplaces. By the way, hire various life professionals, whether they are ordinary people or adventurers. As long as their skills are good enough, our treatment here will be 30% better than other places."

Hearing this, Anna was shocked.

This wasn't just changing the business model, this was changing industries...
