Shi Feng looked in surprise at the tall, thin young man named Zhuoyuan in the crowd.
Pinned to the young man named Zhuoyuan was a gleaming golden lion-head badge, the emblem of a Living Master.
This badge was not only a symbol of status in the Divine Realm but also possessed some rather useful additional functions.
One of these was an increase in success rates.
Although it couldn't compare to the Black Iron Badge he received from a task, it could still provide an extra 3% to success rates. Additionally, when crafting items of the same tier, crafting speed was boosted by 10%, and when crafting lower-tier items, speed was increased by 30%.
Because of the existence of this Master-level badge, the importance of Master-class players became even greater.
"Guild Master, you never would have guessed, right? Zhuoyuan was promoted to Engineering Master not long ago, and he's actually the first Engineering Master in the Divine Realm. We originally wanted to give you a surprise, Guild Master, which is why we didn't tell you," Youyu Weixiao said quietly.
Actually, she was also shocked that Zhuoyuan could become the first Living Master.
She had originally thought it might still be Shuang Keke, but Zhuoyuan was like a dark horse. After entering the Titan Holy City, his progress speed improved by leaps and bounds each day, directly creating new item props and becoming a Living Master in one fell swoop. He wasn't like Shuang Keke or herself, who were still struggling with researching raw materials and would need quite some time before they could be promoted to Master.
Shi Feng didn't dislike the surprise Youyu Weixiao had prepared.
A Master-class player, huh?
Even in his previous life's Shadow Guild, such a figure would have been an important person, let alone given Zhuoyuan's astonishing talent. There was a decent chance he could later challenge the Grandmaster rank. When that happened, even super guilds would have no way to deal with the Candlelight Trading Firm.
"Oh, right, how did the tasks I assigned you earlier go?" Shi Feng asked.
To fulfill the agreement with the Tianji Pavilion, he had Youyu Weixiao and the others work tirelessly to produce Fixed Magic Equipment and Bronze-tier motorcycles. Even though producing Bronze-tier motorcycles resulted in severe material loss, he insisted on pushing forward.
"Everything is all done. We have Zhuoyuan to thank for this; otherwise, the speed for producing ten Bronze-tier motorcycles wouldn't have kept up," Youyu Weixiao explained.
"Very good. From now on, Zhuoyuan will be the Chief Engineer of the Candlelight Trading Firm, and he will enjoy the Elder treatment of the Zero Wing Guild." Shi Feng couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Although there was still time before the first delivery, the Black Water Guild's movements were unpredictable. If the task could be completed ahead of schedule, subsequent matters would be easier to handle.
Immediately, Shi Feng publicly announced under his Black Flame identity that Zhuoyuan was now the Chief Engineer of the Candlelight Trading Firm. From then on, he could freely use the Candlelight Trading Firm's Junior Meditation Room, unlike other living-class players who could only use the Special Studio. To use the Junior Meditation Room, there were still many restrictions.
Instantly, many high-level living-class players in the meeting room cast envious glances at Zhuoyuan.
Not only could he freely use the Candlelight Trading Firm's Junior Meditation Room, but he also held the Elder position in the Zero Wing Guild, which meant he could choose his own private room in either the Candlelight Trading Firm or the Zero Wing Guild's base.
Especially a private room in the Candlelight Trading Firm, located on the seventh floor, where he could overlook the entire main commercial street of White River City at any time. It was a treatment many people couldn't even dream of obtaining.
"Since everyone is here, I'll tell you what I need you to make," Shi Feng said, taking out a very large blueprint from his backpack and placing it on the large, round wooden table in the center.
When the others saw the blueprint, their jaws dropped, and their breathing became a bit heavier.
