"Everyone, please come in!"
After Wu Ke finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers rushed in.
Among them, half are clerks from surrounding shops.
They are all doing business with extraordinary people, so they must know the information about what products each company has.
The other half of the people are basically extraordinary people who come here for shopping and take a look by the way.
It’s human nature to watch the fun.
Wu Ke is now the nominal boss, and he has attracted everyone's attention. Cheng Shaofeng's Shadow Guard 2 just stands in the corner and acts as a shop assistant.
By the way, Wu Jie is the store manager and is mainly responsible for sales.
He has several trustworthy people working as cashiers and waiters.
Wu Ke has 40 players under him, all of whom are diplomat trainees from Earth, the future pillars of society, who have been temporarily transferred here to play games.
They are responsible for maintaining good relations with the authorities, and they have managed to get a large number of people on board in just the past few days, which is inseparable from the joint efforts of so many people.
The store is very small, covering less than 100 square meters with two floors, but there are quite a few players and locals who come to this store.
"Wu Jie, remember our strategy. Control the daily quantity and don't sell too much!"
Wu Jie: "Don't worry, it's just that... the method of selling goods while starving people to death!"
Cheng Shaofeng said quietly: "That's called hunger marketing..."
"It's the same idea. I don't know how you came up with such an unethical method... People want to buy, but you have the goods but you don't sell them. Can you really make money? What if they get angry and don't buy?"
As a native of the wasteland, Wu Jie has hardly ever been exposed to any decent marketing strategies. He only knows the basic concepts of purchasing and selling goods to make a profit. Fortunately, Wu Jie is a man with strong execution ability and never questions Cheng Shaofeng's decisions. Even if he doesn't understand, he will execute them completely.
As an ordinary wastelander who could not become an extraordinary person, he only insisted on one concept: holding on to Cheng Shaofeng's thigh and not letting go.
"Don't worry! As long as our products are unique, the hungrier the customers are, the better our sales will be."
"You're the boss, you have the final say, I'm going to sell the goods!"
"Guest, would you like to see weapons, equipment, and potions?"
The man Wu Jie entertained was a sturdy bearded man with strong energy surging through his body. He was obviously a martial artist and a third-level evolver!
The bearded man was disappointed when he heard this.
"You only have these traditional items? There are at least dozens of stores selling these things on this street, and each store specializes in one category, so they are very comprehensive. You... don't have any other new things?"
Wu Jie had sharp eyes. He could tell at a glance that the bearded burly man was a real customer. He was holding a brand new sledgehammer in his hand, which he had definitely just bought. His pockets were bulging, so he should have stored quite a few crystals.
There is a fundamental difference between him and other shop assistants who just come to take a look.
Wu Jie's eyes turned: "Your new weapon is good, it looks like it can increase your combat power."
"Of course! This hammer of mine is called 'Haohuo Hammer'. It is the work of weapon master Mi Yike. It has a three-star quality rating! It cost me 100,000 crystal stones. If I hammer it down, your store will collapse."
"Hiss~"
The bearded man's words made everyone around him gasp.
"Master Mi Yik? A fourth-level professional of Nightblade, also known as a weapon master, he is good at making all kinds of weapons, and they are hard to come by!"
"100,000 crystal stones. I have to work for 10 years without eating or drinking to afford it."
"I feel a burning pressure on my skin when I am around the hammer... It is indeed a three-star weapon, it has its own aura."
"That might be an attack with fire attributes... What martial artists need most is a weapon with additional attribute attacks, otherwise they will be helpless against some spiritual enemies."
The bearded man nodded complacently, feeling very comfortable with the flattery from everyone.
He has walked around Super Power Street 10 times just to hear other people envy his weapons!
I am here just to join in the fun this time. It doesn’t matter whether I buy anything or not. I just want to show off.
Cheng Shaofeng also nodded beside him.
'Three-star large weapons... correspond to the player's epic equipment. They look very high level. If the strength attribute is low, you can't lift them at all. They are really valuable.'
Currently, there is a certain amount of storage for epic equipment in the Scourge Base.
It is mainly obtained by decomposing monsters of level 2 and above. Level 3 zombies and bugs can stably drop epic equipment.
I have collected several sets of epic armor sets by killing zombies in the northern battlefield.
But epic weapon equipment... is extremely rare!
"I don't know what's going on in the southern battlefield. They're currently decomposing a large number of insect corpses... I wonder if they can produce some good weapons."
Wu Jie's eyes lit up at this moment, and he smelled a business opportunity.
"Then please allow me to recommend our shop's unique 'inlay craft' to you!"
Everyone: “?”
They were all stunned.
"Weapon inlay? Inlay on what? Ornaments?"
Almost no one understood what Wu Jie meant.
The bearded man simply waved his hand and said, "Real men don't need fancy weapons! Weapons with real properties are the most useful. Your flashy stuff... leave it to sissies."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, seeming to think this was a very funny thing.
Wu Jie was not angry either, he smiled and said: "You probably misunderstood. The inlay business of our Apocalypse Store is to add additional attributes to your weapons, or even... add a skill, so that you can master a new skill without learning!"
“Ah, this!?”
"Arabian Nights!"
"How is that possible!"
"No more Wasteland Basic Law?"
Wu Jie lifted the red cloth that had been covering the flat glass display box in the middle of the room.
Swish~
Colorful inlays are revealed one by one.
Burning Residue, Exploding Magnet, Cold Stone, Jagged Spikes, Magic Flint, Amber Crystal, Extremely Cold Stone, Rough Fur, Undead Condensate, Elastic Armor, Lava Skin, Polished Jade... ..
A large number of inlays are displayed.
Each one is as big as a glass ball, shining with magical light, and looks particularly high-end in the glass display box.
Although everyone didn't understand what it was, just looking at its appearance... they felt it was something special!
A guy working on the equipment nearby whispered, "Take a picture of these things and report to the boss later."
“We also filmed...”
"It looks pretty impressive. Damn, it hasn't even hit other weapon stores yet, but it's already disgusting our jewelry store!"
Some of the stones that increase properties are as beautiful as gems, attracting the love of many female extraordinary people.
"Can you inlay two gems, one ice and one fire, on my sword? It looks really good~"
"Didn't you hear what my brother said? Only sissies like useless decorations!"
“But I am a woman.”
"That's all right."
The bearded man asked, "What are the effects of these... items? What effects can they bring to me?"
He is a third-level evolver and can feel a special energy aura on these inlays, as if it is close to his weapons and armor. This feeling... appears for the first time.
Seeing that so many people's eyes were focused on him, Wu Jie cleared his throat and continued to introduce:
"What you see is the unique feature of our Apocalypse Store: inlay technology!"
"Each stone here is a mysterious gem that has been carefully polished by a gem master for several months. It can be inlaid with multiple additional properties for your weapons or armor... or even a humble little piece of jewelry, such as... this Burning Remains!"
He carefully took out the fiery red stone from the display case.
"It can be embedded in any of your weapons, whether it's a close-range hammer, sword, or shield, or a gun, staff, or codex. Any weapon with offensive capabilities will do!"
"After you embed this Burning Residue, when you attack the enemy with your weapon, about 10% of the energy will be automatically converted into fire attacks. If you are a fire-type transcendent, you can also increase your fire damage!"
"The most important thing is! This Burning Residue will add a new skill to your weapon - Fireball! Whether you are a martial artist or a vitality, acid, frost... or other type of practitioner, as long as your weapon is inlaid with this gem, you can release Fireball!"
"When the time comes, you only need to gently press the gem on the weapon to release it easily. I wonder what you think of this function?"
The bearded man's eyes sparkled.
"Flame conversion! It has the same properties as my hammer! If I embed this gem in it, my hammer will become a flaming hammer! Good! Very good! Please keep this gem for me!"
He bought this weapon himself in order to gain additional fire damage, which would be very effective against the enemies he was about to face!
If the opponent only regards him as a warrior... then this unexpected fire damage will be a fatal blow to the opponent!
Not to mention that it also has a fireball skill. Who the hell would have thought that a martial artist's hammer would actually shoot out a fireball!
If used at the right time, it will bring unexpected results!
"Humph! You are a swindler and a fraud!"
Outside the door, a gorgeously dressed man with short hair sneered with disdain.
It immediately attracted the attention of other people.
"Isn't this Master Mi Yike's second disciple Hu Wei? He is also very powerful and is said to have created three-star equipment."
"He produces two-star equipment regularly and occasionally three-star equipment. He is only 35 years old and has already been called the successor of Master Mi Yik..."
"Master Hu is very knowledgeable and must understand this inlay technique!"
Hu Wei stepped forward.
"Making extraordinary weapons is a delicate craft. There are extremely strict requirements for the ratio of raw materials and energy injection. Only when multiple magic arrays are embedded inside and the energy can flow freely, can it become a star-level equipment. Three-star equipment is even more precise! A single move can affect the entire body. How can you embed an external object? At what position can you embed it without destroying the magic array? Do you have the design of this Haohuo Hammer? You just speak without any common sense. It's really hateful!"
The bearded man, who had been extremely excited, suddenly calmed down.
"Yes! How can you prove that you can achieve the effects you said? Can you afford to pay for breaking my three-star 'Haohuo Hammer'?"
Everyone: "Yes, yes!"
"Master Hu has superb skills and solid theoretical knowledge. If there were such a magical technique, I would have heard of it a long time ago!"
"It sounds like a lie to me... If it's really that magical, then everyone who makes weapons wouldn't have to work, they could just make a wooden stick and inlay it and that's it."
After the argument started, more and more people came into the store, and those who couldn't stand still gathered on the street to watch the fun.
Cheng Shaofeng himself was grinning so hard that his mouth was crooked.
"Good fellow, are you still praising me? Isn't this a slap in the face? Damn, this is just a pure pleasure for Wu Jie!"
Wu Jie did not disappoint Cheng Shaofeng.
Lift up the remaining heat directly.
"You'll know if I'm just bragging or not. Does anyone have a weapon that you can lend me? I'll give it to you for free after I've set it with this gemstone. If it's damaged, I'll pay you tenfold!"
"Ten times the compensation? Seriously?"
"Of course I'm serious! The store is right here, and everyone is watching us. We can't destroy our own reputation on our first day of business."
"Then I'll do it!"
This condition was very favorable, and there would be no loss regardless of success or failure. Immediately, a level 1 transcendent sent his weapon over.
A two-handed greatsword.
"This is a one-star weapon. Although it is not very good, it is strong and reliable. If it can be equipped with fire attack, it will be great."
Hu Wei saw this and said, "Your sword is made of solid materials, but it has very few engraved magic arrays. If it can really gain additional properties and skills as he said, it can become a two-star weapon. But I think you should get 10 times the compensation, so it's more realistic to buy a two-star weapon..."
Cheng Shaofeng hid aside and listened with great interest.
He also learned a lot of knowledge in the central city during this time. The difference between star-level weapons depends on the base material and the special effects of the weapons, such as sharp, heavy, icy, fire, electric shock, poison, etc.
This greatsword is a one-star weapon and obviously only has 1~2 attributes.
Most likely solid and sharp.
Converted into data that players can see, it means... terms like higher durability and increased physical damage.
Wu Jie went upstairs with a big sword and the remaining burning energy.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. I need to ask a professional mosaicist to do the mosaic, which will take some time. Please wait a moment. Now you can take a look at the other products in our store. They will definitely make your eyes light up."
Of course you can't leave when you're watching something exciting, otherwise it would be like reading a novel and ending up with a fragment.
Seeing that the store owner dared to face Hu Wei, the apprentice of Mi Yike, everyone became a little excited.
At this time, everyone took a look at other products on display in the store.
The same is true for Hu Wei.
As the apprentice of weapons master Mi Yik, he has higher standards and has seen everything. Naturally, he also wants to see what new features this store's equipment has after they have come up with a concept that is impossible to achieve.
He was originally looking at it with a critical eye, but... as he looked at them one by one, from the armor area to the jewelry area, each piece of equipment was marked with its function, and the data was clearly visible, his expression slowly... changed.
"Show me this ring..."
The ring he held was of rare quality.
It has four attributes.
Mysterious Sea Guardian Ring
Intelligence +4
Energy limit +230
Energy regeneration rate per second +4
Energy recovery speed +25%
This is a top-quality equipment that is very suitable for a mage!
This also applies to other energy-intensive occupations.
The blacksmiths who create equipment every day are also big energy consumers, and they are in urgent need of energy recovery properties.
After putting it on, Hu Wei felt a force surging from the ring, converging with the energy of his whole body, instantly bringing a large amount of bonus.
I was shocked!
“What a strong auxiliary ability!”
“What a precise numerical calculation!”
"What a sophisticated array engraving ability!"
After three consecutive sighs, he said with a complicated expression: "The craftsman who forged this equipment...is as capable as my master."
All the onlookers were shocked!
Mi Yike is the one who created four-star legendary equipment! He is a top three master in Super Power Street!
The foundry master behind this shop is actually not inferior to him
Then this...
"Sorry for the long wait, the weapon has been mounted!"
Wu Jie walked down holding the sword. At the junction of the handle and the sword body, a fiery red gem was engraved on it.
The entire sword also exudes a slight sense of heat.
After the first-level evolver got it, he pressed the gem lightly, and a fireball flew out and hit the stone road outside.
Hu Wei: “… ”
Everyone: “… ”
The next second, many extraordinary people reacted immediately.
"How much is it! I want to buy one!"
“I want to buy two!”
"Don't bother fighting with me. My dad is a deacon of the Christian Church. I'll take care of everything!"
Wu Jie looked at the crowded crowd and said politely with a smile:
"I'm sorry, we have a limited number of inlay technicians, and the inlay service is limited to 10 per day. In order for everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by the inlay process, each person can only enjoy the inlay service once a month."
After the crowd was quiet for a moment...then it got even crazier!
