Chapter 223 The Fiery StellarTrails Emporium
In one of the inns in Silvervale City.
After the first evolution of Divine Realms: Legends, players realized the importance of rest. Constantly grinding not only decreased their stamina but also their mental focus. So, after a day of fighting, players would find an inn to rest, chat, and have a drink.
Players discovered that resting in places like restaurants, inns, and bars could double the recovery speed of their stamina and mental energy. After resting for two or three hours, they would feel refreshed and full of energy.
"Did you hear? StellarTrails Emporium seems to be renovating and integrating. It's said they're going to launch new products."
"I even heard that StellarTrails Emporium has recruited many Alchemists and Blacksmiths and is also recruiting players with life professions. But it seems no players dare to go. I wonder what they'll sell?"
"What else can NPC shops sell besides common items? They can't possibly sell Bronze Equipment and rare potions, right?"
"That makes sense."
As the players in the inn were chatting, the swinging doors were suddenly pushed open, and a male player ran in, panting heavily.
"We're in deep trouble! StellarTrails Emporium has finished renovating and is now officially open!" the panting male Ranger excitedly shouted to his companions.
"So what? It's just a reopening. We don't need any more basic Restorative potions or Common Level equipment, so there's no need to resupply," Shield Warrior, the team leader, rolled his eyes, thinking his companion was embarrassing them and making a fool of himself in front of others.
Indeed the other people in the inn looked at the male player with mocking expressions, their faces full of ridicule.
"Captain, listen to me... I saw Whetstone of Precision in there, and they have intermediate Restorative potions and Mana restoration potions. Plus, the basic Restorative potions and Mana restoration potions are cheaper than anywhere else," the Ranger said excitedly.
"What? You mean they have Whetstone of Precision?" The Shield Warrior captain was taken aback.
The entire inn fell silent.
"Take us there immediately. We need to buy them all," the Shield Warrior suddenly stood up, charged forth to the Ranger, grabbed his arm, and rushed out of the inn towards StellarTrails Emporium, leaving the players in the inn stunned.
"They're going to buy the Whetstone of Precision. We need to hurry."
Even in Silvervale City, the demand for Whetstone of Precision hadn't decreased; it had actually increased, making the competition even fiercer. Especially when dealing with high-level monsters, the durability of weapons wore out faster.
Because of these reasons, Whetstone of Precision became even more popular, completely in short supply.
By the time they arrived, StellarTrails Emporium was packed with people.
Besides Whetstone of Precision, the intermediate Restorative potions and intermediate Mana restoration potions were also selling like hotcakes.
And this news quickly spread to those guilds.
"Leader, I've already gathered a large sum of money from all the guild members and bought thirty sets of Whetstone of Precision, enough for us use for a long time," Thornheart said in the communication.
"Good, as soon as the gold from the latest raid comes in, we can repay the money we borrowed," WhisperbladeWraith said happily.
Besides Devouring Serpents, other guilds were also frantically gathering funds.
"Isabella, what's going on with that StellarTrails Emporium? Why are they suddenly selling these things?" Scarlet frowned as she looked at the latest report from her subordinates, feeling quite helpless. "We already spent a lot of money on sturdy stones, and now we couldn't afford these Whetstone of Precision."
"I heard that StellarTrails Emporium is now selling a limited edition advanced Whetstone of Precision. It's said to be twice as effective as the regular Whetstone of Precision and even adds a 3% damage buff. It's a bit pricey at 7 silver coins each, but if we use it in dungeons, it will make boss strategies much easier."
Isabella shook her head, her beautiful face showing a helpless expression. "Normally, NPCs wouldn't sell these kinds of items. There's something fishy about this. Someone must have made a deal with StellarTrails Emporium. I just don't know who could pull off something this big, providing so many Whetstones of Precision and intermediate potions. It's unbelievable. Get someone to investigate this immediately."
She had painstakingly gathered twenty gold to buy sturdy stones, and now StellarTrails Emporium was directly selling Whetstones of Precision without any prior notice, which had really put her in a tough spot.
Due to the weapon durability issue, their dungeon progress was stalled. If they waited for the guild's Blacksmith to make the Whetstones of Precision, it might be too late.
She needed to get the Whetstones of Precision now, especially the advanced ones.
Meanwhile in the intermediate forging room of the Blacksmith Association, Eric was forging advanced Whetstones of Precision in order to improve his forging skills and make money.
Unlike before, with StellarTrails Emporium, he could sell his advanced Whetstones of Precision to eight cities. Even though they were a bit expensive, the demand from eight cities was enormous. Even if he worked 24 hours a day making advanced Whetstones of Precision, it still wouldn't be enough for players within the eight cities.
StellarTrails Emporium was raking in a lot of gold every moment. Eric didn't even dare to open the money system notifications because, in just one hour since StellarTrails Emporium reopened, it had already earned over three hundred gold. And this was just the beginning; StellarTrails Emporium would only become more popular.
Eric's goal in making advanced Whetstones of Precision was not just to make money but also to become an advanced forging apprentice.
This way, he could learn the advanced Grimoire of Arcana he got from Hammerstone Village.
Previously, he only had the market in Silvervale City. Now, he had eight markets without high fees. Eric couldn't waste this opportunity. He needed to build a huge reputation and fame in these eight cities. Simply relying on advanced Whetstones of Precision wasn't enough, and selling them wouldn't enhance his personal reputation because they didn't bear his mark. All the fame would go to StellarTrails Emporium.
The most important point was that once people experienced the benefits of advanced Whetstones of Precision, they would actively investigate their source and try to make them themselves. The blueprints for advanced Whetstones of Precision weren't unique; many team dungeons dropped them.
By the time Eric opened his own shop, he wouldn't have the same advantage as now.
So, he needed to become an advanced apprentice, learn the advanced Grimoire of Arcana, and create the unique magical Armor Scales of the Ancients. This would completely establish the reputation of Black Flame Blacksmith. With the unique magical Armor Scales of the Ancients, even without advertising, his shop would attract a lot of players.
