Life Professions...
It can be said that this is an essential part of the game, and also the most unique aspect. Players who choose life professions generally fall into two categories: those who want to earn a little extra on the side, and those who are part of large studio arrangements.
The former tends to be solitary; while they can create some value, it is not substantial, and the quality is often lacking. The latter, relying on the strength of a group and backed by powerful studio combat forces, can naturally create the greatest value.
For players in life professions, the most important thing is obtaining various materials. It can be said that materials determine the fate of life profession players, just as equipment affects combat professions. Superior materials will undoubtedly lead to outstanding life profession players.
***
Southern Wilderness City, Central Square.
This is the largest square in Southern Wilderness City and also the biggest open-air market area. According to the System's design, Central Square is circular and spreads out with a total of thirty thousand stalls. Players only need to pay the corresponding rent to set up their goods for sale.
Since it involves personally setting up stalls for sale, unlike the System's trading platform, there are no transaction fees deducted in the open-air market area. No matter how much money is made, every penny goes directly into your pocket. Therefore, this place is always attractive; there are people setting up stalls here at all times of the day.
Among them, life profession players are predominant. They sell various raw materials they have gathered, potions they have crafted, weapons they have forged, and armor they have produced—all of which can be traded here for shiny silver coins. They then exchange these through the System or sell them for gold coins to convert into real currency.
After regrouping and then separating again, Liu Yuhan led Li Tielong and a total of eight people to this open market. The air was filled with shouts and crowds; in front of them was a sea of bobbing heads. Their companion, Hero Does Not Question Origin, even entertained thoughts of tossing a grenade into the crowd—what kind of chaos would that unleash?
But such thoughts were merely fleeting fantasies; Liu Yuhan and his group were not here to admire the spectacle of people trampling over one another.
“Attention! Attention! All material vendors, please listen up!”
A loud shout suddenly rang out. Everyone heard Hero Does Not Question Origin cough a few times before clearing his throat; it was evident that his shout had been too high-pitched for him to maintain. In an instant, many people around stopped to listen, countless eyes turning their way.
Seeing this reaction, Hero Does Not Question Origin adjusted his tone slightly and continued, “Everyone, from today onwards, the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group is sincerely collecting various materials. Long-term collaborators will receive a 5% increase in market prices; the longer the cooperation period, the greater the increase.”
“What is the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group? I don't think I've heard of it before.”
“Yeah! It’s probably just another newly established mercenary group, right?”
“So what if it's new? That’s not important. What matters is that they are collecting various materials! Hehe... I’ve got a bunch of materials that I need to exchange for cash!”
Upon hearing this, whispers began to circulate among the crowd. One player raised his arm and called out, “Hey, brother, what’s your purchasing price?”
Clearly, everyone present was quite concerned about the purchasing price. When someone asked, the crowd fell silent, listening to Hero Does Not Question Origin say, “Everyone can rest assured. As this is our first collaboration, the purchasing price for all materials will be ten percent above the market price.”
“Wow…”
The crowd couldn’t help but gasp. For individuals, ten percent might not seem like much, but for a mercenary group aiming to buy materials in bulk and expressing a willingness for long-term cooperation, the amount of funds generated by that ten percent would be substantial.
“Brother, is what you said reliable?” someone immediately asked.
“Of course…”
A pleasant voice rang out, causing everyone to turn in surprise. A beautiful archer approached confidently with a longbow in hand. Her charming face and refreshing smile were like the warm sun in spring, instantly melting away the lingering winter snow.
The newcomer was Liu Yuhan. Seeing the doubts on everyone’s faces, she stepped forward with a slight smile and said, “Dear friends, I am the Captain of the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group. I solemnly promise that any materials sold to our mercenary group will be priced higher than the normal market rate.”
At the same time, Liu Yuhan revealed her ID, and the four characters “Light Cold Evening Snow” immediately caught everyone's attention. After all, Liu Yuhan was ranked among the top ten players on the Level leaderboard. Raising such a banner would undoubtedly have a significant impact.
Below her ID were the words “Captain of Mist of Time.” The combination of being a powerful player on the Level leaderboard along with her identity as a mercenary group captain provided double assurance for her statement, which quickly stirred up excitement among those present.
“Light Cold Evening Snow? Is that the one ranked seventy-sixth on the Dream Celebrity Rankings?” someone in the crowd immediately responded.
"Wow! Under Dream of Heaven, IDs entering the celebrity list cannot be duplicated. Each ID represents an individual, and no one can impersonate another." Someone chimed in, followed by a sarcastic remark, "If you don't even know this, are you really a gamer?"
"Uh... I was just asking casually!" The person who spoke first felt conflicted, not wanting to be labeled as a "gaming novice."
"Um... Light Cold Evening Snow Captain, about the long-term cooperation you mentioned earlier, what exactly does that entail?" As the crowd continued to stir, someone finally asked the crucial question, bringing a moment of quiet. Having a long-term partner for collaboration sounded promising.
Liu Yuhan smiled gently and replied, "Starting today, our team will begin unlimited acquisition of all materials and will prioritize purchasing from those with whom we have long-term cooperative relationships. Regarding this, we will adopt a timed and quantified cooperation method, measured on a daily or weekly basis."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to murmur among themselves. Liu Yuhan's approach of timed and quantified acquisition was a double-edged sword after establishing a cooperative relationship; it ensured timely and limited procurement of materials while maximizing the enthusiasm of the partners.
"How will this timing and quantity be determined?" someone asked, followed by another voice: "Yeah, how does this work? What if we can't meet the specified quantity within the given time?"
Liu Yuhan smiled lightly and said seriously, "You can rest assured about this. The so-called timing and quantity will be entirely determined by you. You can set your own limits based on your actual capabilities."
"Excuse me, Light Cold Evening Snow Captain, can I understand your statement like this? For example, if I can only gather 100 herbs in a day, I can set my trading quota to 100 herbs per day or 600-700 herbs per week. Is that correct?"
"Exactly. The timing and quantity will be completely up to you. You decide how much you can handle in a day or a week, and we will use that as the basic unit for timing and quantity," Liu Yuhan explained.
Undeniably, Liu Yuhan's decision placed the initiative entirely in the hands of the players. This approach was likely to attract more cooperative players. With fewer rigid constraints typical of studios, it felt much more dynamic.
In no time, those who had come over from Understood began to cheer excitedly. Several players proactively expressed their desire to establish long-term cooperative relationships. How often they would trade and how much they would trade could all be decided by themselves; with long-term favorable pricing, such opportunities were indeed rare.
As actions unfolded, the effects became immediately apparent. With more players eager to collaborate, Li Tielong and Hero Does Not Question Origin quickly got busy adding friends, writing notes, and confirming the crucial timing and quantity—everything was progressing in an orderly manner.
