Chapter 1 The Sudden Change

The sudden change to the Candlelight Firm left everyone present dumbfounded.

"So huge!"

"What exactly did Zero Wing do?"

Everyone looked at the Candlelight Firm that was like a mountain, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable shock. The surrounding player shops might be very prosperous, but compared to the hundred-meter-tall Candlelight Firm, they were simply too weak.

Especially the merchant players present, their eyes almost popped out.

In God's Domain, ordinary players didn't know what shops were, but life players and merchant players were very familiar with them.

The construction of shops in NPC cities has strict regulations. It's not like you can build as high as you want. A three-star shop is only seven stories high. Even if you spend a lot of money to upgrade it later, nine stories is the limit.

But now the Candlelight Firm is twenty-one stories high!

You have to know that the increase in shop floors not only allows for more goods to be placed, but also means that more life players can work inside.

The working environment of ordinary shops may not be as good as the various sub-职业 associations, but the various advanced studio environments provided by three-star shops are better than those of the major sub-职业 associations. That's why many life players want to come to White River City to join the Candlelight Firm.

Their purpose is to stay in the Candlelight Firm in White River City. After all, ordinary life players are not qualified to enjoy things like special studios. The advanced studios in three-star shops have no quantity limit. As long as there are enough floors, you can build as many as you want.

"What's going on? Why can a shop in an NPC city be built to twenty-one stories high?" Yi Han looked at the Candlelight Firm in front of her in disbelief.

Although the Moon God World is different from God's Domain, they know something about the shops in God's Domain. The highest shop they've seen is only nine stories high, but the Candlelight Firm in front of them is more than twice as high, and the area it occupies is also much larger. It's not the same building as before at all.

"Could it be that this Candlelight Firm has been promoted?" Nan Cheng Jiu Meng, the male knight next to her, thought of a possibility, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart.

"It should have been promoted to a four-star shop, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big change." Miao Wu Yin nodded, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart.

The promotion of shops is very difficult, especially when it comes to three-star shops. There are very few super forces that currently have them, and many have only been promoted recently. But now the Candlelight Firm has been promoted to a more powerful four-star shop, which can bring no small advantages.

"This Zero Wing is quite capable, but so what if it's a four-star shop?" Yi Han curled her lips, still disdainfully saying, "Our Shadow Union occupies an ancient civilization town and has intermediate meditation rooms that God's Domain doesn't have. Moreover, how can a shop compare to a town?"

Ancient civilizations are more advanced than the current kingdoms and empires in many technologies. The ancient civilization town that their Shadow Union obtained in the Moon God World is a town mainly focused on life occupations. It's not something that any shop can compare to, and as the town continues to improve, more technologies can be unlocked.

"The shop is open, let's go over there too." Miao Wu Yin didn't object to what Yi Han said.

Because she had already read the information given by Yi Han and others, and she had to say that the level of life occupations in the Moon God World was far ahead of God's Domain, and their alchemy techniques and skills were no less than Candlelight's. They did indeed have the confidence to be proud.

In front of the Candlelight Firm, Melancholic Smile had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Yi Han and the other two coming over, she directly led them into the Candlelight Firm, immediately attracting countless envious and jealous gazes from the surrounding players.

The Candlelight Firm was promoted to four stars, and everyone was full of curiosity about the newly arrived Candlelight Firm, wanting to see its splendor. Especially the life players who came to join Candlelight, but now the entire shop, except for the members of Candlelight, can only watch from the outside. Yi Han and Nan Cheng Jiu Meng, these two outsiders, can go in, so naturally they are very envious.

After Yi Han and others entered the Candlelight Firm, they couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Because the inside of the shop was simply a different world from the outside. Not only was the interior more magnificent and resplendent than before, but more importantly, the concentration of magic inside the shop was more than twice as high as the outside world. Just staying in the shop gave people an unspeakable sense of tranquility.

As Yi Han and others followed Melancholic Smile to the top floor of the Candlelight Firm, even Yi Han and Nan Cheng Jiu Meng didn't know what to say for a while.

Just the special space they saw was more than forty rooms, and they saw twelve elementary meditation rooms. This number was almost comparable to the ancient civilization town occupied by their Shadow Union.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the Candlelight Firm didn't have intermediate meditation rooms.

Otherwise, Yi Han and Nan Cheng Jiu Meng really wouldn't know how to persuade Miao Wu Yin to join the Shadow Union.

Soon, Melancholic Smile brought Yi Han and others to the top floor. Just as they were about to reach the top floor reception room, Yi Han and others found that at the end of the corridor, a group of players were crowded in front of a door made of magic crystals. They were all very excited. When they saw them coming, they seemed like wolves who hadn't eaten for many days seeing meat. They all pounced on them.

And the most incredible thing was that these people were all wearing the badges of life masters.

"Sister Smile, I wonder if I can use that research workshop for a while? I promise, just for a while!"

"Smile, look at me, I'm also a core member of our Candlelight Firm. I'm only one step away from becoming an intermediate master. I'm willing to hand over all my guild contribution points for this period, as long as you let me stay in the research workshop for three days!"

"Damn, you want three days! I only need one day!"

...

The gazes of these life masters looking at Melancholic Smile were extremely hot and eager. Everyone was afraid that Melancholic Smile would refuse, and they all wanted to take out their old belongings and give them to Melancholic Smile.

"Are these people crazy?" Yi Han looked at the incredible attitude of these life masters, and felt that her worldview had been severely impacted like never before.

What was the status of a life master? Even in major super forces, they were honored guests. At this time, they looked like beggars, begging Melancholic Smile to let them enter that research workshop...

If this were to be said, I'm afraid the life masters in the guild would think she was crazy.

You have to know that even an intermediate meditation room is only a little helpful to life masters, but it is far from enough to make them so eager.

"Don't worry, everyone. Currently, there are no specific arrangements for the research workshop, so it will not be available to anyone for the time being. However, once the president makes a plan, any internal member of the firm who becomes a master will have the opportunity to use it." Melancholic Smile reassured them.

Everyone heard this and didn't say anything. Melancholic Smile had already made it clear that any internal master of the firm could use it. Next, they only needed to wait quietly. But even so, everyone still reluctantly looked at the research workshop and slowly left the top floor hall.

"Store Manager Smile, I wonder what that research workshop is?" Nan Cheng Jiu Meng looked at the reluctant life masters and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The status of life masters in the Shadow Union was not lower than his, this top expert, at all, and the status of those who reached the level of intermediate master was even higher than his. But just now, there were as many as several intermediate masters begging Melancholic Smile, just to enter the research workshop. How could he not be curious?

"Research workshop? That's a new room we got after our shop was promoted to four stars. No one has used it yet. I'll take you to see it." Melancholic Smile didn't hide anything and instead took the initiative to lead Yi Han and others towards the research workshop.
