Chapter 530 - Special Space








The Candlelight Trading Firm developed very quickly, and it constantly recruited Lifestyle players .

Despite the Candlelight Trading Firm having two high-end Shops in White River City, they simply did not have enough space to house over a thousand Lifestyle players . For each of the three-story-tall Shops, the first floors were used exclusively for selling products, the second floor housed the various workshops, and the third floor housed the warehouse, offices, and lounges . Hence, not many workshops in each Shop were available for the Firm’s Lifestyle players’ use .


As a result, Melancholic Smile had no choice but to send the Lifestyle players to the various Lifestyle Associations to produce items .


Although the matter of space could be resolved this way, it significantly increased the Firm’s expenditures .


Renting the workshops in the Lifestyle Associations required money . A Basic Workshop’s impact on a player’s success rate was insignificant, so, Melancholic Smile mostly rented Intermediate Workshops for the Firm’s Lifestyle players . Meanwhile, renting an Intermediate Workshop cost 1 Silver per hour . If she rented workshops for 100 people, that was 1 Gold per hour . If she rented enough workshops for 1,000 people, that was 10 Gold per hour .

Ten Gold Coins . . . that was almost a small Guild’s total liquid funds .

Melancholic Smile even considered suggesting that Shi Feng purchase a few more plots of Land and establish more Shops . Unfortunately, in order to satisfy the current number of Lifestyle players they had in the Firm, they would require two or three plots of Land .





However, the situation had changed .

Now, the Candlelight Trading Firm next to the Auction House had been promoted to a five-story building . Although it seemed that it had only gained two more floors, it was equivalent to having two more Shops’ worth of workshops . In fact, the space inside the Shop had also grown; it was now roughly a little more than twice the original size .

With so much space, the Candlelight Trading Firm could save a lot on rental fees .


Melancholic Smile only wished that Shi Feng would upgrade all of the Candlelight Trading Firm’s Shops . That way, the Firm would not have to spend any money on renting workshops .


Shi Feng could not help but laugh at Melancholic Smile’s reaction .


In the past, even after God’s Domain had operated for over a year, countless players were unable to promote their 1-star Shops to 2-stars . It was purely due to luck that the Candlelight Trading Firm had obtained the Promotion Order so quickly .


It was practically impossible to obtain another Shop Promotion Order from the Twilight Treasure Chests .


Though, if he could upgrade the Icarus’s Heart to Epic rank, there might be a small chance for Shi Feng to obtain a second one .


Shi Feng then had Melancholic Smile meet him in the meeting room on the fifth floor of the Firm with Cream Cocoa and Roasted Ironheart .






The benefits a 2-star Shop offered were not limited to an increase in space . Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many players desperately trying to upgrade their 1-star Shops to 2-star Shops in the past, willingly spending tens of thousands of Gold to obtain a Shop Promotion Order .

Meanwhile, the news of the Candlelight Trading Firm owning a 2-star Shop spread quickly . After all, all of White River City knew of the Candlelight Trading Firm . A majority of the players residing in the city had shopped at the Trading Firm at least once before . Now that one of the Shops had mysteriously grown, it would definitely attract a lot of attention .

“Young Master Feng, there is some movement over at the Candlelight Trading Firm . They have actually managed to establish a five-story Shop . When I went over to investigate, I found that the first floor has doubled in size . The number of items they can put on display has also significantly increased,” a player specifically tasked to investigate the Candlelight Trading Firm reported .

“Five-stories? Larger than before?” Feng Xuanyang could not help but sneer . “The Candlelight Trading Firm is certainly ambitious . While producing Light Stones, they also expanded their Shop to prepare for the new sales . What a pity . Truly a pity . So what if they have a larger space? Now that I have stolen the three of the Advanced Forging Apprentices capable of producing the Light Stones, that Shop will only have empty shelves to show off . ”

He still felt the sting from the large amount of money he had spent to poach those three Advanced Forging Apprentices . However, the thought of how the Candlelight Trading Firm could no longer produce the Light Stones soothed the pain in his heart .

“Right, how are we developing in Maple City?” Feng Xuanyang asked the somewhat chubby man beside him . “I heard that the Candlelight Trading Firm has set up a Shop close to the Overwhelming Trading Firm . This should have significantly impacted the Overwhelming Trading Firm’s business . ”

“Young Master Feng, please rest assured . Although the Candlelight Trading Firm is impressive, Maple City is our home ground . Moreover, Miss Youlan has succeeded in inviting that great personage to help us . The Magic Damage Potions they have produced have singlehandedly driven the Overwhelming Trading Firm’s business . Candlelight has no chance against us . It won’t be long before the Overwhelming Trading Firm stabilizes its status as Maple City’s number one Trading Firm . Also, when that great personage’s Alchemy Proficiency advances or when we obtain an item that increases success rate, he will be able to produce that item . At that time, not even the Candlelight Trading Firm in White River City will be a challenge,” the chubby man said, giggling .

“Good . It’s as expected of the woman who the higher-ups favor . As long as the Overwhelming Trading Firm conquers White River City, my status will rise along the tides . At that time, my succession of the household will be set in stone . ” Feng Xuanyang’s eyes suddenly glowed .






He truly never expected that Youlan would successfully recruit that great personage from Underworld .


That great personage was only a Lifestyle player . However, by relying on his superb talents, he had profited Underworld in many virtual reality games, and gradually throughout the years, he had become a force to be reckoned with in the organization . Even Underworld’s upper managers tread carefully when around him . Although Feng Xuanyang had thought of trying to invite that great personage before, he simply did not qualify to do so . Meanwhile, the fact that Youlan had recruited that great personage’s help showed just how capable she was .

It seems that I’ll have to rope that woman in in the future . Feng Xuanyang licked his lips as he pondered . Although he had only been interested in Gentle Snow in the past, Youlan’s temperament, figure, and appearance were not one bit inferior to Gentle Snow’s . In certain aspects, Youlan was even superior to the Snow Goddess . If he could make Youlan his woman, it would benefit him greatly in the future . His chances of becoming the master of his household would increase .

In the meeting room on the fifth floor of the Candlelight Trading Firm, Shi Feng noticed Melancholic Smile and the others stand to greet him the moment he entered .

“Guild Leader, seeing as you were in such a hurry to look for us, do you have some sort of surprise for us?” Cream Cocoa revealed her anticipation as she gazed at Shi Feng with her large eyes . She knew that Shi Feng would never call for a meeting with them for no reason, and in every meeting, Shi Feng always had something prepared for the three of them . Hence, she very much loved meetings .


“You really are perceptive,” Shi Feng laughed faintly . He then said, “Follow me, then . I’ll show you guys something . ”


Shi Feng then led the three forgers out of the meeting room, arriving before a room a short distance away .


The Candlelight Trading Firm’s reconstruction had only completed a short while ago . There were still many areas inside the Shop that Melancholic Smile and the others were unfamiliar with . In particular, there were some rooms that Shi Feng had locked; not even Melancholic Smile was allowed to enter .

The room he led the forgers to was one such location .

“Guild Leader, isn’t this a workshop?” Cream Cocoa asked curiously .

“You’ll understand once you enter,” Shi Feng laughed as he slowly opened the door .

Once the door opened, the trio behind Shi Feng was stunned by what they saw .

A completely different world awaited them beyond the door . When the door opened, a fragrant smell and beautiful scenery greeted each of them . The room even contained a small creek . The most incredible part of the room was the ball of water floating in the middle of the room .


“That’s a Simulation Device!” Melancholic Smile was immediately surprised when she saw that floating ball of water .


Originally, Simulation Devices could only be found in the Library of White River City . It was a tool that allowed players to learn or craft their own spells . Melancholic Smile had never imagined that this workshop would also contain one .


“Simulation Device?” Cream Cocoa asked, confused .


“White River City’s Library also has a waterball . The Simulation Device there allows players to learn or create spells . However, the Simulation Device here is slightly different . It is meant to assist Lifestyle players with producing items . Through the simulation, you guys can discover the flaws you have when producing an item . At the same time, it can also aid you in creating a completely new item . With this, you won’t have to waste a lot of materials and can freely try producing as many items as you want . This is a function that only Special Workshops possess,” Shi Feng explained .
