Shi Feng immediately took out the purple token.
Two large characters were inscribed on the token.
Promotion!
However, this promotion token was not a guild promotion token.
In the Divine Realm, every kind of token was incredibly valuable and exceedingly rare. There were guild promotion tokens, special building construction tokens, and so on, but the rarest of all were shop promotion tokens.
And the token in his hand was exactly that — a shop promotion token.
All players who purchased shops in NPC cities started with a one-star shop, regardless of whether they spent three hundred gold or a thousand gold. The only difference was that a thousand-gold shop was more ornate and had slightly more functions.
But once a shop was promoted to two stars, everything changed. It was fundamentally different from a one-star shop, providing an enormous boost for crafting players.
Shop promotion tokens were extremely difficult to obtain. Unlike guild promotion tokens, which could be found inside dungeons, you generally had to take on special quests to have a chance at getting one. You could also open treasure chests, but not just any chest would do.
The chest's level couldn't be below level 40, and its quality had to be Gold-grade or above to have a chance of yielding one.
Even quality-less chests like the Dawn Treasure Chest had a small probability of producing one.
But getting a shop promotion token from treasure chests was just too difficult. Most people obtained them through challenge quests, and since these quests were related to shop promotions, they were naturally neither easy to accept nor simple to complete. Their difficulty was no less than an Epic quest, so very few shops had ever been promoted.
That was why a shop promotion token obtained from opening treasure chests was worth a fortune, and countless merchants would pay astronomical prices for one.
He had simply been incredibly lucky to get this good thing.
"With this, I can finally ensure that the Candlelight Trading Company has an absolute commercial position in White River City." Shi Feng pocketed the shop promotion token and took out a Return Town Scroll.
The players from the Yixiao Qingcheng guild were hard to find now, so there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.
Now that he had the shop promotion token, the natural next step was to go promote the shop.
According to the Divine Realm's settings, promoting a shop required one promotion token per shop. Unlike other virtual games where promoting one shop automatically promoted all the others, this was what made shop promotion tokens so precious. You had to choose carefully which shop to use it on.
But Shi Feng had already made up his mind.
White River City was the foundation of Zero Wing, so the shop promotion token naturally had to be used on a shop in White River City. As for the shops in Star Moon Kingdom's capital and Maple Leaf City, unless he had extra promotion tokens on hand, he wouldn't waste them on those two cities.
Using the Return Town Scroll, Shi Feng teleported back to Maple Leaf City.
He wasn't in a rush to return to White River City. Instead, he first went to check on the Qincheng Trading Company.
The Yixiao Qingcheng guild's hidden trump card had been heavily damaged by him. Their dungeon progression was severely set back, and he had killed quite a few of their elite members — all of which were significant blows to Yixiao Qingcheng, let alone their branch in White River City. With limited resources, their development speed had been seriously hampered, and the gap between Yixiao Qingcheng and Zero Wing would only continue to widen.
The only thing that could give Yixiao Qingcheng a fighting chance was the Qincheng Trading Company.
If the Qincheng Trading Company developed successfully, Yixiao Qingcheng would have enough gold to bleed Zero Wing dry. Combined with their abundant capital and powerful backing, their growth would be unstoppable. After all, the Underworld was a massive organization that already had internal mechanisms for cultivating expert players. Right now, everyone was still unfamiliar with the Divine Realm, but once they got the hang of it, with enough gold, funds, and the guidance of top experts, their cultivation speed would be absolutely terrifying.
