Chapter 1720 Candlelight Firm's Crisis

Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City, Candlelight Firm.

Shi Feng had just arrived at the store entrance with Fire Dance when he noticed that the number of players visiting the Candlelight Firm was less than before.

"Has it reached its limit so quickly?" Shi Feng glanced at the players on the street and then at the situation inside the store.

Even though the Candlelight Firm was located in the business center, the area with the most foot traffic, the increasing number of players on the street but fewer players coming into the store to buy things was enough to illustrate many problems.

Now, looking down the street, various guilds and many merchant players had opened shops in some of the street corners.

With more shops, market competition naturally increased. Although the Candlelight Firm's position in White River City was still unshakable.

However, the Candlelight Firm's profits were decreasing day by day. From earning thousands of gold per day in the early stages, it could now only barely maintain around a thousand gold. This was despite the Candlelight Firm having shops in the mainstream cities of the Star-Moon Kingdom and many other kingdoms.

The best-selling whetstones and advanced whetstones, as well as various recovery potions and mana potions, were selling less and less in the Candlelight Firm. All of this was due to the constantly emerging new shops.

These new shops had a good foundation. The design blueprints for best-selling products were no longer rare. As long as someone wanted to get them, they could farm for them themselves. For example, the advanced whetstone design blueprint was already being sold at auction houses. As long as life players were allowed to produce them directly, coupled with a good location, slightly lower prices could easily draw many customers away from the Candlelight Firm.

However, the Candlelight Firm's Bright Stones and Reinforced Armor Plates were still selling well.

But Shi Feng was very clear that this situation would not last long. Neither Bright Stones nor Intermediate Reinforced Armor Plates were unique items. As time passed and players' levels continued to rise, it would not be difficult to obtain these design blueprints.

In just three days, other shops were already selling Reinforced Armor Plates, just at a slightly higher price than the Candlelight Firm. Before long, Bright Stones, a common item in God's Domain, would certainly appear in large quantities in other shops, and the Candlelight Firm's advantage would be even smaller.

"Guild Leader, what did you call me here for?" Melancholic Smile walked into the Candlelight reception room and asked wearily.

During this period, the Candlelight Firm's profits were getting less and less, which had made her very anxious. Although she had thought of many ways, the effect was not good.

"How is the production of the solidified magic equipment?" Shi Feng asked.

Based on the Candlelight Firm's current speed of making money, it was impossible to earn 150,000 gold in the remaining twenty days. It was necessary to speed up the earning of money.

And the only hope was through the solidified magic equipment.

More and more players were gathering in White River City, including many elite and expert players. These players often entered advanced maps, and their consumption of equipment was naturally greater than that of ordinary players, so they needed solidified magic equipment to increase the time they spent exploring and killing monsters in the wild.

"During this period, I have produced 400 pieces of solidified magic equipment, with a success rate of about 40%. However, this amount is too small to sell. I am afraid that before it can attract people, it will be sold out. I plan to store enough 1,000 pieces before putting them on sale in the Candlelight Firm," Melancholic Smile said, full of confidence in the solidified magic equipment.

As long as the solidified magic equipment was sold, it would definitely make the Candlelight Firm hot again and greatly increase daily sales.

"A 40% success rate?" Shi Feng was surprised. He did not expect Melancholic Smile to produce such a high success rate. Shi Feng originally thought that a 30% success rate would be good enough. He then took out a stack of design blueprints from his backpack and handed them to Melancholic Smile. "Let Coco Frost and the others learn these design blueprints. If there are good seedlings in the Candlelight Firm, you can also let them learn. Make as many as you can. I have great use for them."

Melancholic Smile took the stack of design blueprints, and her expression suddenly shook.

Solidified magic equipment!

Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate!

She already knew how powerful the solidified magic equipment was, and she felt that it was already great to get one. But now Shi Feng took out five…

As long as five people could only make solidified magic equipment, it could basically meet the needs of players in one or two cities. After all, the cost of solidified magic equipment was not low, and the success rate was not high, so it was impossible to sell it too cheaply.

However, she couldn't understand the other item, the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate.

Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate, armor increased by 120 points of defense, Stamina +5, Agility +3, Fire Resistance +7, a maximum of 3 of the same type of items can be bound, and only equipment above level 30 can be bound.

To be honest, the attributes were not much higher than the Intermediate Reinforced Armor Plate, but it required rare materials to make. The cost alone was twice as high as the Intermediate Armor Plate. If it was sold, who would want it?

Although fire resistance was increased a lot, there were many places in God's Domain, and players did not need to specifically run to maps that required high fire resistance to level up or enter dungeons. It could be said that it was not a necessity. Even if it was made, there would definitely not be many people willing to buy it.

However, being able to be placed together with solidified magic equipment was enough to show that the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate was also very precious.

"From now on, you mainly produce solidified magic equipment and Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plates. As for the others, you can put them aside for now." Shi Feng certainly knew Melancholic Smile's concerns.

However, the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate design blueprint was no less than solidified magic equipment.

Although it didn't seem very useful now, when the Eclipse Gate opened and the price of fire resistance and ice resistance items soared, it would be the time for the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate to shine.

Simply equipping three armor plates could give 21 points of fire resistance, so players could equip less fire resistance equipment. Fire resistance equipment could greatly increase fire resistance, but the basic attributes would also be greatly reduced. The result of equipping too much would be a great reduction in the player's combat power, making it difficult to kill the monsters at the Eclipse Gate.

But equipping the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate could reduce the need for at least three pieces of fire resistance equipment.

Therefore, when the major guilds learned about the Intermediate Fire Resistance Armor Plate, they all frantically went to Campbell Volcano to farm for blueprints. Unfortunately, the drop rate of the blueprints was too low, and it was not so easy to obtain them, and they had to kill those wild Bosses to drop them.

During this period, Shi Feng often led the main force to kill various wild Bosses in Campbell Volcano. After working hard for three days, and even using God's Grace, he finally managed to get nine blueprints. If it were someone else, they would be burning incense if they could get one.

"By the way, how many materials for the beast pen have been collected so far?" Shi Feng attached great importance to the beast pen.

Level 40 was not far away from the major guilds. If they only had the design blueprint but could not make the beast pen, then the beast pen's design blueprint would be wasted.
