Chapter 1236 Recruiting Crafters

The news of Candlelight Firm massively recruiting lifestyle players spread like wildfire.

It wasn't just confined to White River City; it reverberated throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom, creating a stir on the official forums.

"This can't be true! Candlelight Firm is recruiting without any requirements?"

"I heard Candlelight Firm is recruiting a lot of people this time. I wonder if a mid-level apprentice like me has a chance to join."

"I remember when Underworld Guild recruited lifestyle players recently, they didn't even have a two-star shop, and the minimum qualification was a senior apprentice, with a success rate of over 65%. I guess the assessment difficulty at Candlelight Firm will be even higher."

Although lifestyle players were becoming increasingly important, the gap between them was also very large. It was difficult to improve with just the player's own resources. The more important the profession, the more resources it consumed, and the more advanced the training, the more precious the resources required.

It was difficult to develop without joining a guild.

As time passed, thousands of lifestyle players had already lined up in front of the Candlelight Firm, and more were constantly arriving.

Melancholic Smile arranged for people to assess these lifestyle players one by one.

The assessment content was very simple. Based on the lifestyle players' level, they were asked to create corresponding props and items, as long as the success rate was above 60%.

"What exactly does Zero Wing want to do?" When the major guilds received this news, their first reaction was that Zero Wing was courting death.

Lifestyle players were certainly important, but the investment required to cultivate an excellent lifestyle player was enormous. In the early stages, they were money-losing propositions, so their usual recruitment requirements were very high, otherwise the guild itself would not be able to bear it.

Zero Wing Guild was now indiscriminate, and even lowered the difficulty of the assessment. Previously, Zero Wing Guild required a success rate of at least 70% for recruitment.

In just half an hour, Zero Wing Guild had recruited more than 30 lifestyle players, with fewer than 7 senior apprentices among them. The others were below senior apprentice level, causing the lifestyle players in the queue to worry that Candlelight Firm would stop recruiting before it was their turn.

But watching one lifestyle player after another pass, soon exceeding a hundred, Candlelight Firm still showed no signs of stopping…

The spies of the major guilds reported this information back to their respective guilds.

"They've recruited over a hundred apprentices so quickly. Have Zero Wing Guild's higher-ups gone mad?"

"Could a three-star shop really be that powerful?"

The major guilds who received the news were stunned. Usually, when they gained a one-star shop, they would recruit a maximum of forty people. More than that, and the workshops wouldn't be enough, not to mention the raw materials being a major problem.

Now that Candlelight Firm had only been promoted to a three-star shop, with two more floors, it would generally be bursting at the seams if it recruited two hundred people.

"Sister Youyu, should we raise the assessment difficulty? At this rate, the extra workshops in the shop will probably be full soon. It would be a pity if we missed out on talented newcomers later." Frost Cocoa looked at the long queue of thousands of people outside the door, and couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I'm worried there won't be enough people." Melancholic Smile said with a wry smile.

"Worried about not recruiting enough people? How is that possible? Just the number of players queuing up now is several thousand, and even if only 60% of them succeed, at least four or five hundred will pass. How can we not recruit enough?" Frost Cocoa was no longer a newbie, and was very clear about the proportion of lifestyle players who could achieve a 60% success rate. Even if they were rare, the base was so large that the number of people who passed was still terrifying.

Four or five hundred lifestyle players was not a small number. Nowadays, even second-rate guilds couldn't afford to support so many lifestyle players.

Moreover, Candlelight Firm's lifestyle players were already saturated.

Based on the increased space inside the three-star shop and the two extra floors, it could only accommodate two or three hundred people at most. Any more than that, and they would have to be sent to the Lifestyle Association.

But renting a workshop in the Lifestyle Association would cost a considerable amount of money.

"Four or five hundred people really isn't enough. Guild Leader has already said that we need to recruit 1200 people this time." Melancholic Smile said softly, "Based on the lifestyle players in front of us, I'm afraid we're still far off. Hopefully the lifestyle players arriving later will be useful."

Frost Cocoa was speechless when she heard this, and didn't know what to say.

In God's Domain, lifestyle players were a minority after all. In addition, the major guilds usually recruited people, so gathering 1200 qualified candidates was not an easy task.

But there was an even bigger problem.

How to accommodate so many lifestyle players?

On the other side, Shi Feng had already completed the transaction with Feng Qianyu in the City Hall, and Shi Feng officially obtained the land deed to Lake Heart City.

"Here is the information on the Evil Flood Dragon Battle Team for the next match. Take a look. The competition is officially scheduled for two days from now. I'm really looking forward to the performance of your Asura Battle Team." After receiving 10,000 gold coins, Feng Qianyu was in a great mood, and then handed over the collected battle team information and the time, location, and rules of the battle to Shi Feng.

"Hmm, Divine Seal Guild?" Shi Feng glanced at the information and was slightly stunned.

"This is the information we only collected in the past two days during the system upgrade." Feng Qianyu said cautiously, "Don't underestimate the Divine Seal Guild. Although Divine Seal, like Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, is a super-first-rate guild, Divine Seal's foundation is much stronger than our Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. It can completely compete with other super guilds. The team members will definitely undergo a major reshuffle at that time. You'd better prepare yourself."

Although Feng Qianyu said this, she didn't think the Asura Battle Team had a chance of winning.

After all, the Asura Battle Team had revealed too many trump cards in the last battle. The Divine Seal Guild would definitely be prepared. If the Divine Seal Guild went all out, the Asura Battle Team would only be crushed, because the gap between the two sides was too large.

Now Feng Qianyu was just praying that the Divine Seal Guild wouldn't be too serious, so that she could earn another fortune.

Shi Feng nodded silently.

In fact, even if Feng Qianyu didn't say it, he was well aware of the power of the Divine Seal Guild.

When the Tier 3 Alien Fire appeared in God's Domain, the major guilds used all their means, and more than a dozen experts from the Divine Seal Guild snatched the Tier 3 Alien Fire from the hands of many guild experts, including the highest combat power of the two super guilds.

That battle was hailed as a classic.

Defeating the Evil Flood Dragon Battle Team led by the Divine Seal Guild would definitely be very difficult.

…

Just as Shi Feng was rushing back to Candlelight Firm, six people suddenly appeared in the White River City's Teleportation Hall. The moment these people appeared, they became the focus of the entire hall, because the equipment on these six people was too gorgeous, with the lowest level being Dark-Gold rank, and their levels were even more remarkable.

There were a total of six people, two of whom were level 40, and the worst was level 39. Such a group of people could not be underestimated even in an empire, let alone White River City.

"So this is White River City. The level of players here is not bad."

"We're not here to see the scenery. Let's get down to business. Let's go to Zero Wing Guild first."
