Inside a hotel in White River City.
Along with God's Domain's evolution, players understood the importance of rest. If they grinded monsters without rest, not only would their Stamina decrease, but their Concentration would also fall. Hence, after a day of battle, players would now rest at the hotel, having a drink and chatting with each other.
Players discovered that places like restaurants, hotels, and bars allowed them to recover Stamina and Concentration more quickly. After relaxing for two or three hours, they would feel refreshed and filled with energy.
"Did you hear? The Starstreak Trading Firm seems to be undergoing renovations. I heard that they are going to release new products for sale."
"Who doesn't know about this? After I made some inquiries, I found out that the Starstreak Trading Firm has also recruited tons of Potionmakers and Forgers. The trading firm is even hiring Lifestyle players right now. However, no players have dared apply for a position yet, thinking that it wouldn't be a reliable job. I wonder what sort of new items they are going to sell?"
"Aside from the common usage items, what else could an NPC-owned store sell? They can't possibly offer Bronze Equipment or rare potions, right?"
"That sounds about right."
While the players in the hotel conversed, a male player suddenly pushed open the saloon doors, panting.
"Big news...! Starstreak Trading Firm has finished its renovations and has officially opened for business!" the panting Ranger exclaimed to his companions loudly.
"Why are you making a fuss? Aren't they just reopening their business? We don't lack Basic Potions or Common Equipment right now, so we don't need to replenish our stock." As the leader of the party, the Shield Warrior rolled his eyes as he watched this embarrassing companion of his. Others would make fun of them for the Ranger's unsightly appearance.
Indeed, just like the Shield Warrior had feared, the other players in the hotel sent belittling glances, mocking smiles on their faces.
"Leader... listen... to me..." That Ranger excitedly said, "I saw Whetstones inside the shop! There are also Intermediate Recovery Potions and Intermediate Mana Regeneration Potions! Moreover, the Basic Potions are cheaper than anywhere else!"
"What did you say? There are Whetstones?" The Shield Warrior froze, stunned.
The entire hotel fell silent.
"Let's go. Take us there immediately! We have to buy all of them, now!" The Shield Warrior abruptly stood up, casting Charge and arriving at the Ranger's side. Grabbing the Ranger by the arm, he immediately rushed out of the hotel, running towards the Starstreak Trading Firm.
The other players inside the hotel were dumbfounded by this scene.
What?
"Crap, they're going to buy out the Whetstones! We need to hurry as well!"
After entering White River City, players' need for Whetstones had not decreased in the slightest. On the contrary, their need had grown. It was especially true when they faced high-level monsters, as the durability of their weapons reduced at a much faster rate.
As a result, the popularity of Whetstones had exploded. The available supply was far from meeting the demand.
By the time everyone had arrived at the Starstreak Trading Firm, a sea of people had already obliterated the shop's doors.
