Chapter 159 Arrival

After the six chatted for a while, they walked out of the Teleportation Hall amidst the gazes of the crowd and arrived on the bustling street.

A white-haired middle-aged man in the lead, carrying black and white long spears on his back, summoned a giant wolf that was entirely snow-white, its body larger than a lion.

Next to him, an assassin wearing dark gray leather armor with two blood-red daggers hanging from his waist also summoned a pure black steed. The steed was equipped with silver-white armor, making it even more handsome and majestic than the horses equipped by the NPC army.

The appearance of the two mounts immediately drew the attention of everyone on the street.

"Damn, who are they? The mounts they summoned are definitely not ordinary."

"Yeah, I've seen ordinary mounts before, they're not nearly as handsome and majestic. They look like at least Bronze-rank mounts, no, maybe even Mysterious-Iron rank."

Ordinary mounts were already a luxury for the current players, let alone Bronze-rank or higher.

Now, seeing two mounts suddenly appear on the street, everyone was filled with envy. Some beautiful female players even gave the white-haired middle-aged man riding the snow-white giant wolf flirtatious glances.

Now that God's Domain was becoming increasingly popular, it was common to see in the news that some of the top well-known experts in the virtual gaming world were joining guilds, with annual salaries starting at millions, even the worst being over five hundred thousand, and the strongest reaching as high as five or six million. This was simply an unattainable dream for ordinary people.

To already have Bronze-rank or higher mounts meant that they could probably earn an annual salary of a million.

"Hahaha, Bloodthirsty Boss, there's a beauty over there who's interested in you." A delicate Elementalist wearing a rune robe teased the white-haired Berserker in the lead.

"Unfortunately, unrequited love. How could such a beauty catch Bloodthirsty Boss's eye? Besides, Bloodthirsty Boss already has someone he admires. It's just a pity for these beauties, why can't they see me?" A skinny level 39 male Swordsman sighed.

"Mask, you should really learn from the boss. If you put that effort into improving your strength, you would have already reached level 40 and could use a mount to hook up with beauties." The male Assassin riding the black horse curled his lips.

"How can I compare to Bloodthirsty Boss? I haven't even passed the assessment to get a title yet, unlike Qilin who got his title half a year ago." The Swordsman named Mask Angel said with envy.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Qilin and I will go take a look at Zero Wing first, you guys take the carriage and come over quickly." The Berserker in the lead, Bloodthirsty Wind, shouted sternly.

Immediately, everyone else stopped talking and, following Bloodthirsty Wind's instructions, took a high-class carriage and closely followed behind Bloodthirsty Wind, heading towards the Zero Wing Guild.

Although the high-class carriage was very fast, it was still inferior to the snow-white giant wolf and the military warhorse. The distance between them gradually widened.

Their passage caused a stir wherever they went.

In front of the Candlelight Trading Firm's gate, the place was already packed with people.

Unbeknownst to many, the number of Lifestyle players recruited by the Candlelight Trading Firm had already reached more than three hundred. This number allowed everyone to see how strong the Candlelight Trading Firm's foundation was. It was indeed worthy of being hailed as the number one trading firm in Star-Moon Kingdom, incomparable to other trading firms.

"Guild Leader, the number of Lifestyle players we've recruited has already reached our limit. If we recruit any more, I'm afraid we can only let these people go to the Lifestyle Association to practice." Melancholic Smile looked at the new recruit information in her hand, feeling worried.

1200 people. This number of Lifestyle players had far exceeded the limit that the current Candlelight Trading Firm could handle. At that time, they wouldn't earn any money, but instead, they would lose a large sum every day.

"It's alright, bring me all the branch information for the current Candlelight Trading Firm." Shi Feng waved his hand and chuckled.

In God's Domain, although shops were classified according to stars, they could be roughly divided into four categories according to scale. This was what later players summarized.

Elementary Shops, Intermediate Shops, Advanced Shops, and Special Shops.

Among them, one-star and two-star shops were Elementary Shops. They could only accommodate a very limited number of Lifestyle players and could only rely on quantity to make up for it. In terms of functionality, their assistance to Lifestyle players was very limited.

Intermediate Shops were three-star to five-star shops. There was a huge difference in scale between this type of shop and Elementary Shops. As long as one entered a three-star shop, there would be a fundamental difference in scale compared to a two-star shop. Therefore, it was easy for the shops opened by major guilds to advance from one-star to two-star, but it was very difficult to advance from two-star to three-star.

It was even more difficult to advance from Intermediate Shops to Advanced Shops.

The assistance that Intermediate Shops provided to Lifestyle players would also be fully reflected, such as elementary meditation rooms.

After Shi Feng gave his instructions, Melancholic Smile immediately sorted out all the branch information for the current Candlelight Trading Firm and gave it all to Shi Feng.

The information was not only very detailed, but also clear at a glance.

So far, the Candlelight Trading Firm had a total of twenty-five stores, including twenty-four branches, covering twenty-two cities. This was also due to Feng Qianyu's secret help, which allowed the Candlelight Trading Firm to have stores in some of the small cities of the surrounding countries, and the price of the stores was only slightly higher than the cost price.

"Feng Qianyu has put in a lot of effort." Shi Feng smiled slightly as he looked at it.

Among the many branches, six were concentrated in the Black Dragon Empire, and five of the cities were million-level cities. In addition, there were six stores concentrated in the surrounding kingdoms, with the Zijing Kingdom occupying four. Moreover, the cities where these four branches were located were also among the top ten most populous cities in the Zijing Kingdom. The remaining branch was in the Twin Towers Kingdom, but unfortunately, it was now in ruins, leaving only one in the royal capital.

If he had to do it himself, it would be too difficult to gain a foothold in those cities. Even if he could do it, it would take a lot of his energy, leaving him with no time to improve himself.

It had to be said that this was the benefit of cooperating with a large power. If it weren't for the secret cooperation with Feng Qianyu, the current scale would probably have to be increased by more than double, and of course, the funds spent would also increase by two or three times.

From this point alone, it could be seen how terrifying the foundation of those God's Domain powers was. Zero Wing Guild's advantage was that it had more liquid funds. It wasn't that those God's Domain powers couldn't compare to Zero Wing, but that they immediately invested the money they earned into more valuable places, while Zero Wing Guild had money but it was difficult to invest it in more valuable places.

The difference between Zero Wing and these God's Domain powers in terms of capital turnover rate was obvious at a glance.

"This time, I really have to thank Feng Qianyu for her help, otherwise, it would be really difficult to use up the five quotas." Shi Feng then chose five branches to upgrade to two-star shops. Compared to using the Promotion Order to upgrade to two-star shops, using the three-star shops' privileges cost less money, only 600 gold to upgrade one shop, so upgrading five shops only cost 3000 gold.

Among the five branches that Shi Feng chose, three were in the Black Dragon Empire, including one in Lakeside City. The other two quotas were in the Zijing Kingdom, and one was in the royal capital of the Twin Towers Kingdom.
