Chu Tian was speechless. Dao Tian actually said he was quitting alcohol.
The first time he met him, when creating his character, he was carrying a wine gourd.
Later, many times, he spoke to him while drunk.
And there were also several times when drinking caused trouble, almost getting him killed.
At this moment, with the enhanced attributes of the Wish Box preserved, Chu Tian was in a great mood.
Looking at the dazed clone before him, he found it increasingly peculiar.
He re-examined its Divine Forging technique attributes.
He discovered it had gained a new skill: 【Recast】.
Normal blacksmiths did not have Recast, nor did NPCs in the Heavenly Dao world.
In its literal meaning, Recast meant to forge an item anew.
Chu Tian decided to try it.
After trying it on several pieces of equipment, he finally discovered that only golden equipment could be Recast.
The so-called Recast was to re-plan the attributes like Agility and Strength added to the equipment.
You could choose to reduce Agility by half and transfer it to Strength.
So that's how it worked, but each piece of equipment could only be Recast once.
Moreover, it could not be restored after Recasting.
This was something that players with capped attributes needed!
If it were a piece of equipment with four attributes.
You could choose to reduce the attributes you didn't need by half and transfer them entirely to the primary attributes.
However, Recasting also carried risks. If it failed, the equipment would disappear.
But such equipment was rare. After normal equipment dropped, depending on the armor worn by the profession.
Most of them would not have useless attributes.
Of course, this excluded Druid equipment, as Druid equipment inevitably had its attributes increased equally.
This was why, even though the Druid's attribute growth had caught up with other professions due to Chu Tian.
No one was willing to bring them into dungeons.
Chu Tian closed the clone's skills, thinking to himself: Whatever, he didn't need to Recast anyway.
As a four-element Grand Druid, any attribute was useful after transforming.
The matter of the 【Wish Box】 was over. It was resolved without incident, preventing it from being dropped.
The logistics of the Reverse God Alliance were handled by Qi Xi.
The dungeon攻略 was handled by Jian Zhi Cang Tian and others.
It had also entered a stable development phase.
In the northern war zone, especially in Shengjing City.
Even Huang Xueyi's Huang Corporation could not threaten him.
The shops were managed by Mo Shi, and he was quite satisfied.
Although he had been a bit distracted recently, Chu Tian felt he was still reliable.
It was time to stir up trouble on the side of the Slaughterer faction.
Before leaving, he still had to find Lord Luo.
What kind of existence was this 'NPC' who was sometimes human-like and sometimes mechanical?
Today was Wednesday, and it wasn't yet three o'clock in the morning.
It wasn't time to find him yet.
However, Shang Da Hao, without paper, had mentioned that he had visited Chu Tian in the shop a few days ago.
Did this mean that he wasn't necessarily abnormal only at that specific time?
The time he gave Mo Shi should be a more stable, fixed appearance time.
Perhaps, he would still appear occasionally at other times.
If that was the case, then he should go for a stroll. Anyway, he needed to upgrade the shop before leaving.
The City Hall and the Chamber of Commerce Hall were separated by only a wall.
Currently, many shops had already been upgraded to level two.
Sha Shi You You's chain stores no longer held an advantage in terms of shop level.
After upgrading the shop, it could accommodate a larger customer flow.
It would also provide greater bonuses to the workrooms used by the recruited production players.
Production volume would also increase. Although Chu Tian knew that this wave of upgrades would cost a lot of gold.
However, such an investment was unavoidable.
Moreover, Lord Luo helped him share and reimburse a portion of it. Wouldn't it be a waste not to upgrade?
Leaving the graveyard, he set off for the city.
He added his identity to the Reverse God Alliance and directed him to the guild headquarters.
At the same time, he sent a message to Qi Xi, telling her that his younger brother was looking for her.
He asked her to arrange a mine with good output and send the clone there.
Controlling two bodies at once, Chu Tian felt it was strange.
Dividing his attention was not easy to manage.
However, he could still command it to walk.
It seemed he needed more practice to skillfully coordinate the clone and the main body.
Given the current situation, let alone fighting others, even fighting monsters would present problems if he had to control two characters simultaneously. He would probably have to rely on the Heavenly Dao's托管 system to coordinate with the main character.
After commanding for a while, Chu Tian's main character even bumped into walls while walking.
He had no choice but to give up and directly use the Heavenly Dao's托管, setting a destination to report to the guild headquarters.
Then, he would follow the instructions arranged by Qi Xi.
His previous idea was too naive. He had even thought of controlling two stealth professions to ambush others.
He was simply overthinking. However, Dao Tian had said that the clone's托管 system was not inferior to the operation level of a professional player.
It also possessed learning ability and its own judgment.
In that case, he should let Dao Tian play with it when he had nothing to do. When it was under托管, he should let it go and practice life skills.
It had already done a great job solving the problem of the Wish Box.
Chu Tian went directly to the Chamber of Commerce Hall.
It cost 50 gold coins to build a shop, and 500 gold coins to upgrade it to level two.
The cost to upgrade from level two to level three shops was a staggering 5,000 gold coins. With the City Lord's ten percent discount, he still had to pay 4,500 gold coins to upgrade the shop to level three.
This darn shop upgrade cost was growing tenfold.
Bearing the pain, he paid 9,000 gold coins to directly upgrade the two shops in Shengjing City to level three.
Chu Tian did not know that his shop upgrade costs were much higher than those of other shops.
This was because his shops were in prime locations, and the land area was the largest.
Therefore, spending more money was deserved.
Occupying good land, with such large customer traffic and high profits, why wouldn't they gouge you?
As for the auction house, Chu Tian glanced at it and cursed in his heart: To hell with it.
Twenty thousand gold coins, are they robbing people?
However, there were indeed benefits to upgrading the auction house to level three.
Although the current level two auction house appeared as a two-story building from the outside.
The second floor was useless and remained empty.
The level three auction house would become a three-story building, and the third floor would become an auction hall.
It could host auctions. Individuals without a level three auction house hosting personal auctions would not be guaranteed by the system.
There would be issues with equipment and fund security.
Relatively speaking, to build a reputation, hosting a few auctions could indeed bring in wealth.
However, Chu Tian felt there was no need for this at the moment.
The auction houses of the three main cities in the entire northern war zone were all his.
No one was competing with him for business, so what need was there for fame?
After the Fortress Wars ended, the traffic of the main cities would be diverted to the fortresses.
Consequently, the importance of shops within the main cities would decrease significantly.
At that time, when leveling up and hunting for treasures outside, players would resupply at nearby fortresses.
However, auction houses would still need to be upgraded, just not urgently for now.
This was because auction houses could not be established within fortresses, only shops could.
Furthermore, the main facilities within the fortresses were not these.
