Chapter 1 Watching

Looking at the woman walking towards her, Liang Jing could clearly feel the gazes from all around. Some players even stopped in their tracks, and those lining up at the entrance in the distance turned their heads to look.

She could understand if these people were paying attention to the woman in front of her.

After all, the woman was tall, with excellent looks and temperament, and an indescribable sense of approachability. It would be difficult not to attract attention walking down the street.

But these people were all looking at her. Just a moment ago, no one was paying her any attention, but because the beauty in front of her called out to her, she became the focus of everyone's attention...

The beauty who spoke to Liang Jing was none other than Melancholic Smile, who had just finished her work.

As Shi Feng instructed, she found a good helper for her, but she would let her lead the way first.

"Hello, I am Melancholic Smile. I will be the one to help you understand the Candlelight Trading Firm. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Melancholic Smile introduced herself.

Just as Melancholic Smile introduced herself, the surrounding players were in an uproar.

"Damn, who is that person? They're being greeted by Melancholic Smile of the Candlelight Trading Firm?"

"Could it be that master of a lifestyle class?"

"How is that possible? Her level is only one, and she doesn't have a lifestyle class badge. She's definitely a newbie. But to have Melancholic Smile greet her, could she be the daughter of some big consortium coming to visit the Candlelight Trading Firm?"

...

For a time, the lifestyle players who came to sign up to join the Candlelight Trading Firm discussed in whispers.

The gazes directed at Liang Jing were filled with envy and jealousy.

Melancholic Smile was the manager of the Candlelight Trading Firm, and also a forging master. She was an absolute high-level member of the Zero Wing Guild. Rumor had it that many super forces had offered sky-high salaries to poach her, but she refused them all.

It could be said that Melancholic Smile was the idol of these lifestyle players.

Not only was she very beautiful, but her forging skills were also at the peak of *Shenyu*. She refused the invitations of big consortiums without hesitation. Living like Melancholic Smile was their dream.

It was precisely because of this that not only in the Star-Moon Kingdom, but even in the surrounding countries, countless lifestyle players were now racking their brains to enter the Candlelight Trading Firm.

"A daughter of a big consortium?"

Listening to the whispered discussions of these lifestyle players, Liang Jing looked at Melancholic Smile standing in front of her, and was secretly shocked in her heart, never expecting that the woman in front of her had such a high status.

This made her blush a little.

She was just the chairman's assistant in the Beidou Group. Compared to the unattainable daughters of consortiums, she was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

After a brief introduction, Melancholic Smile led Liang Jing into the Candlelight Trading Firm.

As the only three-star trading firm in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, entering the door felt like arriving at a modern shopping mall, except that it had many more magical elements than a modern shopping mall.

Looking around, the entire hall was full of players coming to buy items, which made Liang Jing gape. She never expected that the trading firms in *Shenyu* could be so lively and prosperous.

Melancholic Smile just smiled and took Liang Jing directly to the third floor.

From the third floor onwards, it was not open to the public. Only members of the Candlelight Trading Firm were allowed to enter.

"Currently, we have more than 20,000 lifestyle players in the Candlelight Trading Firm, distributed in various trading firms. Among them, more than 4,000 are internal members who have signed formal contracts. It can be said that it is the first genuine trading firm in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom. There are about 2,000 lifestyle players in this Candlelight Trading Firm. In the future, your job will be to manage this Candlelight Trading Firm and these 2,000 people." Melancholic Smile came to the third floor hall, pointed to the lifestyle players working in the workshop, and slowly introduced, "Although you don't have much to manage now, and not many things to do, once you are familiar with everything and manage it well, you will also be asked to take over the affairs of Silverwing Town in the future. After all, Silverwing Town is very busy now. We just adjusted the town's population limit to 1.8 million, and it will slowly increase later. There are many things that need to be done."

As Melancholic Smile introduced the Candlelight Trading Firm, Liang Jing wondered if she had heard wrong.

More than 20,000 people in one Candlelight Trading Firm?

More than 4,000 people who have formally signed contracts?

In other words, there were more than 4,000 players who officially worked for the Candlelight Trading Firm. This number was several times the number of employees in the Beidou Group.

After that, she would have to manage a town with a player population of 1.8 million.

This was crazy...

If what Melancholic Smile said was true, as the chairman's assistant of the Beidou Group, she could say with certainty that the Zero Wing Guild's wealth had far exceeded the current Beidou Group. The two were not even on the same level.

She had always been quite curious why Shi Feng was so indifferent to the Beidou Training Hall. It was clearly a good thing that brought both fame and fortune, something that many people couldn't even ask for.

He had such a good opportunity, but he was wholeheartedly focused on *Shenyu*.

Now she really understood.

It turned out that what seemed very important to the Beidou Group was just a farce to Shi Feng, something to play with when he was free.

She entered *Shenyu* because Shi Feng saw her management talent, and Xiao Yu also wanted to take this opportunity to learn about Shi Feng, so she sent her over. As for whether she would work in the Beidou Group or the Zero Wing Studio in the future, it was up to her to choose. However, she didn't know how to report this to Chairman Xiao Yu.

However, Liang Jing did not know that the town with the largest population in the Zero Wing Guild was not Silverwing Town, but Zero Wing City, which was located in the Star-Moon Kingdom, and the number of players was several times that of Silverwing Town.

On the other side, Shi Feng, who was completely unaware of this, was concentrating on manufacturing omnipotent magic equipment.

Finally, after spending a whole day, he produced more than a hundred pieces of omnipotent magic equipment, as well as a lot of level 50 standardized Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold weapons. His level also finally increased to level 68.

Although he had killed a lot of monsters when opening the trade route before, because of the existence of the NPCs, the experience points given were very scarce, and there were more when completing the task. But even so, the leveling speed was still very fast, only two levels away from the level 70 mark.

However, compared to the level, the standardized Fine-Gold weapons of the Titan Holy City made with the current ability of the Hand of the Sage were even more gratifying.

Originally, it could only be applied to level 50, but with the guidance of the Soul of the Sage, Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold standardized weapons suitable for level 50 to level 55 were produced.

Although the change was not great, the two were completely different for the current players.

Even if it was just a level 55 standardized weapon, the attribute was much worse than a level 55 Fine-Gold weapon in terms of pure attributes, but it was also much better than a level 50 Fine-Gold weapon, and the same was true for level 55 Dark-Gold standardized weapons.

For the current major guilds, the top expert players are only level 55. It is very difficult to have level 55 weapons. They generally use level 50 Fine-Gold weapons. These level 55 standardized Dark-Gold weapons are definitely good things that major guilds want to get now.

Especially if these Dark-Gold standardized weapons can be sold in large quantities, then the value will be even higher.

"Guild Leader, the people from Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and War Spirit Dynasty have already arrived. I have asked someone to take them to the VIP reception room on the second floor to wait," Melancholic Smile suddenly contacted him and said.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shi Feng nodded slightly, then put away these standardized weapons and rushed directly to the VIP reception room.
