Chapter 3684 - Chapter 758 - Upscale Shop (2/2)
A 1-star Upscale Shop could only connect with one other shop It was also incredibly challenging to upgrade a 1-star Upscale Shop to 2-star status Not only did the shop have to e foot traffic and transaction volu period, but more importantly, it also needed to accumulate sufficient Shop Reputation
An upscale shop’s reputation could only be raised by gaining favorable opinions froh NPC nobles buying items from it to increase its reputation However, it should be known that NPC nobles had a endary Weapons and Equipment, which players considered incomparably precious, were only considered products of fine quality in the eyes of NPCs Many NPC nobles, therefore, disdained purchasing such ite a 2-star Upscale Shop to 3-star status was even greater Once at the 2-star status, an upscale shop’s reputation could only increase if it had enough local great nobles patronizing it Otherwise, its reputation would never reach the 3-star standard
As for reaching the 4-star standard, the shop would need to have great nobles frohthe 4-star standard were ga for upscale shops
As previously mentioned, the number of shops an upscale shop could connect with corresponded to its star ranking At the 1-star standard, an upscale shop could only connect with one other shop Meanwhile, advancing to the 2-star standard would double that connectivity to two shops, and advancing to the 3-star standard would double it again, reaching four
However, upon reaching the 4-star standard, an upscale shop would achieve a substantial leap, being able to connect with up to ten other shops This improvement would substantially expand the shop’s operational scale and transforues above 3-star Upscale Shops
Of course, while it would be better to have a 4-star Upscale Shop, shi+ Feng was already satisfied that he could outright purchase a 3-star Upscale Shop in Luminous Sky City With it, he could save a lot of tihts, Lord Count?” the NPC administrator asked with a smile “As this is the first shop we havewill conclude in just 29 hours If you seek to purchase it but lack the necessary funds, out of consideration for your status as an estee City, we can offer you a loan of up to 500,000 Gold, repayable over a ith a 40 interest rate Further the auction but fail to repay the loan, ill confiscate only the shop; no additional fees will be i looked at the s administrator, he suddenly felt like he had accidentally entered a back alley store
A 40 interest rate meant he needed to pay back 700,000 Eternal Gold to the city in one week Moreover, even with this loan, he wasn’t guaranteed to win the auction…
Auctions for real estate in the Eternal Real process Additionally, each person could only bid once Once all interested buyers had placed a bid, the winner would be revealed at the end of the auction In other words, while it was possible that soht have only placed a bid that was one Eternal Gold higher than the starting price, it was also possible that so price
Further interest, even if he failed to purchase the upscale shop He’d still have to pay every coin he owed
“Do you wish to proceed with this transaction, Lord Count?” the NPC ad smile
“Fine! I’ll take the 500,000 Gold loan!” shi+ Feng said, gritting his teeth Although the risks were indeed great, the potential rewards were too good to pass up “Also, I’ll bid 570,000 Gold on this shop!”
While the NPC adht have said he should only expect to spend up to 500,000 Eternal Gold, he wasn’t so naive as to bid only at that price He’d be ruined if he failed to win the auction
“Very well I have confirmed your bid We will inform you of the auction’s results in 29 hours, so please be patient” After the NPC ad’s intent, she handed hi time
29 hours 43 minutes 27 seconds…
