Chapter 368: 368: Rejection

The NPCs in the City of Hymns who were real craftsmen had been in their professions for decades. Their experience and position in their fields far exceeded those of the players. Some of them even had apprentices who were qualified to be the players’ mentors;

Those with a profession level under Ten were usually called beginners in their fields. Those who surpassed Level Ten but were under Level Thirty were called intermediate professionals, and those over Level Thirty were called advanced professionals;

In the City of Hymns, there were fewer than ten people who held the title of advanced professionals, and they each belonged to different professions. This led to intense competition for even the intermediate-level players among major powers;

As for the “Favored Ones” mentioned by the NPCs, meaning the players, they usually wouldn’t hire them because of their low levels. Even if they were also beginners, an NPCs level could be Eight, Nine, or even Ten, while a player’s might be Two, Three, or potentially even One. The difference was too significant;

Soon after the Sunnyfire Shop published its recruitment needs, a few players rushed in to apply;

“Is your boss here? We came to apply and want to discuss the terms,” a strapping man with dark skin said arrogantly to Vera;

NPCs look down on players with low profession levels, and innately, the players also look down on the NPCs, regardless of whether they are involved in combat or other professions. This is because players’ levels rise rapidly, and it is just a matter of time before they overtake the NPCs.

Upon seeing Vera, Qin De merely treated her like a regular shop assistant NPC and didn’t pay her much mind;

Vera was well aware of the players’ attitudes towards her. She gave a slight smile and said, “Sorry, but the boss isn’t in the shop now. If there’s anything you need to discuss, you can talk to me.”

“With you? Can you make decisions?” Qin De was taken aback and looked towards his companions. They were all players who aspired to become professionals. While they all also had combat professions, they usually spent most of their energy practicing their professions. They only go outside the city to kill some low-level creatures for materials when their fatigue for their professions was full and they couldn’t gain experience;

After all, the City of Hymns was a lot safer than Doomsday City. Even if their combat skills were a bit lacking, they could still survive;

The gossip about Sung Jian, the new player owner of the Sunnyfire Shop, had already spread among City of Hymn’s players. This was the reason why these professional players came to apply as soon as the recruitment notice was posted, otherwise they wouldn’t go to any NPC-owned shop to apply. It wasn’t that they looked down on NPC-operated shops, but rather they couldn’t compete…

Seeing several professional players walk into the Sunnyfire Shop, a sneer appeared on Makara’s face;

“Humph, to think that Annie wants to turn the tides with these low-level apprentices! It seems she has gone mad!”

In the eyes of many NPCs, if a professional player was below Level Three, they were considered apprentices who had just touched the trades and were not eligible to be called beginners;

“We have already won this commercial war!” Makara turned to a teenager following behind him and said, “Start spreading the word. The Sunnyfire Shop will sell the Level Ten set of equipment called Warrior’s Song tomorrow. Supplies are limited – first come, first served!”

Warrior’s Song was a set of green equipment for Level Ten. Melee professionals who put it on could compete with those wearing blue-quality equipment. As such, it was highly praised. Makara was originally working on it secretly, planning to use it as a trump card at the last minute. Now that he had recruited many forging masters, the production speed had increased a lot. He had already accumulated six sets of Warrior’s Song;

Through internal information from the Sunnyfire Association, Makara knew that the Sunnyfire Shop only had three days left. If the sales did not reach one million in the last three days, they would give up the shop;

“If I had known earlier, I would have released the equipment set…” Makara secretly calculated the Sunnyfire Shop’s previous sales, and instantly felt some pain. However, he had already decided not to give any chance to the Sunnyfire Shop and directly wooed all the customers over;

Makara believed that the moment the Warrior’s Song set is launched, Sunnyfire Shop will definitely have no chance to turn the tables;

“Thinkingyou can turn the tables with these Favored Ones, Hah!” Makara found this thought rather amusing;

Inside the Sunnyfire Shop, Qin De and the others were looking at Vera in disbelief, unable to believe their ears;

” What, you said you’re not recruiting beginners in the profession? Is your boss insane? What is he thinking!” Qin De exclaimed;

“You don’t even accept beginner NPCs, but you want to recruit intermediate professionals? I didn’t hear wrong, did I?” His companion also wore a surprised expression;

“Is this a joke? Sorry, this isn’t funny at all. Do you really think that with your Level Two Shop, you can recruit intermediate professionals?”

“I’m really sorry, everyone, but these are the rules set by the boss. I really have no choice!” There was a faint smile on Vera’s face that suggested she kept people at a distance;

“A Level Two shop, where not even beginner NPCs would want to work, brazenly is recruiting intermediate professionals, heh!”

“Let’s go, this guy is out of his mind. Let’s not bother with him.”

“I originally thought that since we’re all players, we could help each other out, but you can’t take along an idiot!”

Several professional players walked out of the Sunnyfire Shop cursing and complaining. Makara’s eyes lit up, “So not even Favored Ones want to work in his shop, huh, hahaha, Annie, what else do you have to fight me with?”

Vera watched the players leave with a worried look on her face. After Song Jian had fiddled with something in several forging rooms and came out, he simply told Vera to only recruit intermediate-level professional players. He left without leaving any other instructions. Vera didn’t even know where Song Jian was now. In a sense, she had already become the acting boss of the Sunnyfire Shop;

How could she complete the mission like this? Vera frowned, doubting in her heart;
