Chapter 161: Upgrading the Alchemy Workshop!
Having received the funds, Wang Dagui immediately closed the equipment store and began the upgrade.
Leaving the equipment store, Li Xiang looked at the other commercial buildings on the same street.
He could intervene in the construction of the equipment store, but could he intervene in other commercial sectors?
Li Xiang looked around and found that no other shop had started upgrading yet.
The original Wu Shuang City was a second-tier main City, with a maximum of two to three hundred thousand players.
The most basic commercial establishments in a main City are equipment stores, potion stores, and other fundamental commercial constructions.
Once upgraded to a City, as the City's building area increases and the number of players surges, a single store will be unable to meet the players' needs, leading to the emergence of more similar businesses.
Li Xiang's investment in the equipment store was just a trial. If successful, Li Xiang wanted to explore the extent to which players could influence the game's NPC commercial facilities...
"Let's wait until the equipment store construction is almost finished before making any plans..."
Having made up his mind, Li Xiang directly used the return-to-City stone.
...
With a flash of white light, Li Xiang's figure appeared at the Guild Residence.
At this time, there were still many players in the Guild.
Especially in the various Guild buildings, there were quite a few players.
Liu Yunfeng and Qing Shui Ya were both online.
Seeing Li Xiang, they both walked over.
"President..."
"Guild Leader."
Li Xiang nodded, took out the Instant Mana Potion, and walked to the Alchemy Workshop.
"Upgrade Conditions:
1. Average usage rate exceeds 20%
2. 100,000 gold coins (satisfied)
3. 10 players with the Pharmacist profession reaching the beginner level in the Guild (satisfied)
4. Refine the specified potion (satisfied)"
"Ding! All conditions for Alchemy Workshop upgrade have been met. Do you wish to upgrade? (Please ensure all players currently using the Alchemy Workshop exit before upgrading.)"
Seeing the prompt in parentheses, Li Xiang looked at Qing Shui Ya.
Qing Shui Ya and Liu Yunfeng both saw the public panel in front of Li Xiang and immediately walked into the Alchemy Workshop.
A moment later, all the members came out.
They looked at Li Xiang, extremely excited.
And after receiving the news, some Pharmacist players who hadn't been able to get a spot in the past two days excitedly ran over.
Seeing that the Alchemy Workshop had met the upgrade conditions, they all cheered.
Li Xiang immediately clicked to upgrade!!!
"Guild Broadcast: Building 'Alchemy Workshop' has begun upgrading. Upgrade time: 4 hours."
As the broadcast appeared, a ray of rainbow light fell upon the Alchemy Workshop, and then the sound of hammering and construction could be heard from within.
"Alright, just wait."
Li Xiang, Qing Shui Ya, and Liu Yunfeng walked to the side.
In front of the Alchemy Workshop, a large number of Pharmacist players gathered.
They were all eagerly anticipating the successful upgrade of the Alchemy Workshop.
Once the upgrade is successful, there will definitely be more empty spots, and then it won't be as crowded as it is now, where even getting on the schedule is difficult...
After walking to the side, Li Xiang asked about Qing Shui Ya's progress.
"Currently, I have explored the unique effects and functions of some buildings that will be constructed in the City. After these buildings are completed, I will try to bring these new things into the Guild."
Li Xiang nodded.
A City will inevitably see many new things and functions appear. Discovering and exploring them one step ahead will allow for early development of huge profits, pushing the Guild to a new height.
This is also the reason why a large number of players and forces entered Wu Shuang City after hearing that Wu Shuang City was about to be upgraded to a City.
Although some local forces in Wu Shuang City left out of fear of competing with the Gods Guild, there were also some bolder ones who wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie.
"Qingshui, I'm quite confident leaving these matters to you."
Qing Shui Ya nodded repeatedly.
She had received Li Xiang's promise that as long as she handled this matter well, Li Xiang would give her the position of Vice President.
The identity of Vice President of the number one Guild in myth could help her resist pressure from her family!!!
As a direct descendant of a prominent family in reality, there were many times when she had no freedom to do what she wanted, and behind the seemingly glorious facade were chains embedded in her bones!!!
Once becoming the Vice President of the Gods Guild was finalized, she would have the opportunity to remove these chains!!!
This was the fundamental reason why Qing Shui Ya proactively joined the Gods Guild and attracted Li Xiang's attention!!!
Li Xiang looked at Liu Yunfeng, "Yunfeng, regarding the Guild, you need to pay more attention to the deployment and management of Guild tasks. The Guild now has quite a few members, and managing them might be troublesome.
If there are problems, you and Qing Shui Ya should communicate more, and you can also select some players with talent in this area from the Guild to assist with the work.
Our goal is to build the Gods Guild into the number one Guild in myth, an unshakable number one Guild, understand?"
Listening to Li Xiang, Liu Yunfeng straightened his back, "Understood, Guild Leader!!"
"Okay, also pay attention to getting enough rest. I'm going offline first."
"Okay, Guild Leader!!!"
Finding a random space, Li Xiang directly exited the game.
...
Opening his eyes, only a faint light from the gap in the curtains filled the room. However, this bit of light was not enough to illuminate the entire room, and most of the room was dim.
After a moment of easing, Li Xiang sat up, making a sound.
The bedroom door opened a few seconds later.
Wang Zhiyan pushed the door open and came in, holding a glass of water in her hand.
"Li Xiang, you're awake!"
Li Xiang nodded, took the water handed to him by Wang Zhiyan, and drank it in one gulp.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
...
After washing up and eating the breakfast prepared by Wang Zhiyan, Li Xiang went out.
The weather was good today, and although it was morning, the sun was already shining brightly.
Li Xiang let out a long breath, "Winter is over..."
After walking along the street for half an hour, Li Xiang leisurely walked into a breakfast shop, ordered a cup of soy milk, held it in his hand, and drank it.
Several young people sat at a small table nearby, chatting enthusiastically about myth.
"I've arrived at Wu Shuang City!!! I missed the Gods Guild recruitment this time, but I must get in next time!!!"
"Come on, with your level, would the Gods Guild even look at you?"
"Tch! Although my level isn't great, my life profession will reach intermediate level soon!!! I'm not far from the experience points!!!"
"You're good!!! Life professions aren't that easy to train. Where do you get so many materials to train your life profession?"
"Hehe, my girlfriend also plays. She's an Assassin and often uses stealth to find materials for me!"
"Damn!!! I brought you out for breakfast, and you're still feeding me dog food!!! You really deserve to die!!!"
"You have to treat me to this meal, otherwise I can't eat this dog food!!"
"Alright, alright, I'll treat!!"
"..."
Li Xiang looked at them, a smile curving his lips, and turned to walk slowly towards home.
