◎First Release◎

Within two days, Yan Yu received a message from Cadoline saying that the store location had been determined and the decoration was completed, and she was welcome to move in at any time.

In the past two days, Yan Yu used A-level equipment drawings to forge a lot of new equipment, consuming a total of 2,500 A-level materials, including 800 A-level equipment, 200 S-level equipment, and 15 SS-level equipment, totaling 1,015 pieces, which is another very large number.

It just so happens that some of the A-grade materials can be sold in the Mermaid City.

She now has a total of 1,800 A-level equipment, 666 S-level equipment, 110 SS-level equipment, and 10 SSS-level equipment (including Vulcan Sword*1, Vulcan Crown*1, Vulcan Combat Boots*1, Xutian Robe*1, Black Feather Bows*3, Clone Belts*2 and Baoling Necklace*1).

After getting the store address, Yan Yu immediately clicked on the physical store interface of the Blue Star Equipment Store. The system voice sounded:

Will the second store be located at No. 222, Xinghai Street, No. 74, Player City?

"yes."

Please name the second store.

Yan Yu thought for a few seconds, then said, "Let's call it 'Blue Star Second Equipment Store'."

[Are you sure you want to name the second physical store "Blue Star Second Equipment Store"?]

The next second after she said "OK", a small blue icon of the physical store appeared in her store interface. When she clicked on it, a model of a two-story duplex building with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters immediately appeared in front of her.

The first floor of the model is decorated in the Aegean style, with a complete cash register, shelves, rest area, trial area, warehouse, etc. The second floor is the accommodation area, study and training room, where you can stay occasionally.

Yan Yu was extremely satisfied. He put the thousands of newly forged A-grade weapons on the shelves. After thinking for a while, he tentatively set aside a separate shelf to display the S-grade equipment.

She picked out fifty pieces of S-level equipment as a grand opening promotion.

As for the pricing, it is only slightly more expensive than the price sold to Blue Star players. A-level equipment is priced between 160 and 200 gold coins based on the equipment attributes, while S-level equipment is priced between 860 and 1100 gold coins.

Yan Yu did not intend to sell the SS-level and SSS-level equipment to others. Of course, she had to focus on the members of her own guild to avoid attracting too much covetousness and trouble from the outside world.

After the store level is upgraded to level 4, you can enable system hosting. As long as you set up the program, the hosting assistant can automatically sell, charge, replenish stocks, etc., which is very convenient.

Just as Yan Yu was about to officially open the store, the game system suddenly popped up a reminder:

[I've detected that the physical store is not equipped with a security system. Do you want to spend 100,000 gold coins to install one?]

"Safety protection system?" Yan Yu murmured in surprise, then clicked on the inverted triangle arrow under the six words "Safety Protection System" to check the specific content.

The store's security protection system can effectively prevent theft, robbery, etc. Even if players in the top ten of the level or strength ranking come, they cannot break this protection system, and it will automatically block players who want to cause trouble. It is very practical for stores that use hosting assistants and have no staff.

Although 100,000 gold coins may seem like a lot now, the security protection system can be automatically installed in all physical stores. In other words, no matter how many physical stores Yan Yu opens in the future, the same level of security protection system can be equipped. You spend money once and benefit from it for a lifetime.

The more physical stores she opened, the more valuable the money spent on security systems would be. Yan Yu had a hunch that one day her physical stores might be able to flourish everywhere.

Therefore, Yan Yu did not hesitate: "Install!"

The gold coins used to install the security system were directly deducted from the store balance, leaving about 100,000 gold coins after the deduction.

————————

Mermaid City No. 74 has recently been in a terrible state due to the city war initiated by its own people. Many mermaids have died, even Princess Cadoline, oh no, now Cadoline should be called the Mermaid King.

Even though the Mermaid King immediately started post-disaster reconstruction and various subsidies and condolences after winning the city battle, it still failed to lift everyone's depressed mood.

In order to mobilize the emotions of the tribesmen and at the same time do Yan Yu a favor, Cardolin specially distributed subsidy coupons - any mermaid who purchased equipment within three days before the opening of the second equipment store on Blue Star will receive a 40% equipment subsidy.

In other words, the mermaids only need to spend 60% of the original price to buy new equipment, and the remaining 40% will be paid by Cardolin. The amount of subsidy given is very large.

In response, Yan Yu agreed. After all, the money that would go into her hands would not be less in the end, so she was happy to cooperate.

"Have you heard? The man who saved us from the city battle opened an equipment store right on the bustling Xinghai Street."

"Your news is already out of date. Just a few minutes ago, the Blue Star Second Equipment Store opened. My partner and I were planning to go there for a look."

"I wonder what kind of equipment Master Yanyu sells in his shop? Is it similar to other equipment shops?"

"Well, even if the equipment in her shop is expensive and has poor properties, I will still buy one out of spite. After all, she's our savior, and for that alone, we have to support her. Furthermore, with King Cardolin's subsidy, we won't suffer any loss at all."

"I heard that Master Yan Yu has S-level equipment blueprints. Do you think the store will have S-level equipment for sale?"

"Forget it. Master Yan Yu's talent as an equipment maker is only A-level. How could he possibly forge S-level equipment? I don't think there are many A-level equipment in the shop, let alone S-level. Most of them are probably B or C-level." (When Yan Yu participated in the Grand Prix, he displayed his talent as an A-level equipment maker.)

"Ah, I can still use A-level equipment. B-level and below really have poor attributes, so there's no point in buying them. Forget it, I'll just consider it a way to support my benefactor. I'll pick one out later, even if it gets dusty when I throw it in my storage ring."

At this moment, a hurried mermaid slid past, leaving behind a blue fishtail. She left a few words in the air before going to inform her best friend: "Hey! You still have time to chat here, but if you don't go to Lord Yan Yu's equipment store, everything inside will be snatched up!"

The mermaids chatting: ???

One of the mermaids quickly grabbed the blue-tailed mermaid and asked, "What's going on? Is it because Master Yan Yu's equipment store has too few items on the shelves? Otherwise, how could they be sold out in just a few minutes?"

The blue-tailed mermaid shook his head: "You'll know if you go and see for yourselves. Let me go, I have to go and inform others." After saying that, he broke free from his restraints like a slippery loach, turned around and disappeared in front of the mermaids.

The mermaids looked at each other, and after they realized what was happening, they all rushed to the second equipment store on Blue Star.

When they arrived at Yan Yu's shop, they found that many of their own people were already surrounded outside the shop. They were so anxious that their eyes were red and their necks were thick. They shouted, "Buy two less pieces and save some for us outside!"

"Ahhh, why isn't Master Yan Yu here? Master Yan Yu, please come out and set a purchase limit. Each person can only buy three items at most. Oh no, only one item at most. Otherwise, all the equipment will be snatched up by the group of beasts in front!"

The newly arrived mermen at the end of the line hurriedly asked those in the front, "What's going on?" B- and C-level equipment shouldn't be snatched up like this, right? Why are the people like them going crazy?

Strange, it's so strange.

The merman, who was being dragged around and questioned repeatedly, turned back impatiently. Seeing their puzzled and bewildered faces, he said bluntly, "You must be new here, right? Then you must not know that all the equipment on the shelves of Master Yan Yu's store is A-level equipment, and there are also 50 pieces of S-level equipment! The key is that the attributes of each piece of equipment far exceed the same level equipment in other stores!"

You know, even the Mermaid Warriors and Mermaid Kings who are at the top of the food chain among the Mermaids only have a handful of S-level equipment in their hands, and most of them are only A-level, and some of them can't even get a complete set of A-level equipment.

Take their current Queen Cardolin as an example, she has 4 pieces of S-level equipment and 6 pieces of A-level equipment. The original Prince Shugri had 6 pieces of S-level and 4 pieces of A-level equipment.

S-level equipment is hard to come by not only among the mermaids, but also among other players. Otherwise, Tepes, who possesses S-level forging talent, would not be unanimously supported by the mermaids.

Unfortunately, after knowing that he would be defeated, Prince Shugri turned around and killed Tepes, never giving Tepes another chance to surrender to Cadoline.

Thus, the only S-level blacksmith of the mermaid tribe died.

Just when all the mermaids thought that they would never be able to get their hands on S-level equipment again, a miracle happened again. S-level equipment appeared in the equipment store of their great benefactor, Lord Yan Yu, and there were a total of 50 pieces!

As soon as the news came out, countless mermaids were instantly excited. Even Cadoline, Beulah, Hill and Wilfred rushed to the second equipment store on Blue Star as fast as they could to buy S-level equipment.

"Hahaha, I snatched an S-level lightning whip and an S-level petrification ring! These attributes are simply blinding! Thank you, Master Yan Yu!"

Those who bought it were extremely surprised, while those who didn’t wanted to slap themselves in the face because they were one step late.

"How dare you buy two by yourself? Hand over one and save your life!"

"Wow, an S-rank piece of equipment costs an average of 1,000 gold coins. Even if King Cardolin helps out with 40% of that, that's still around 600 gold coins. How on earth did you, a bunch of animals, manage to scrape together so much gold coins?"

The mermaids, who usually love to eat and drink and don't know how to save gold coins, are in tears.

Without money, they couldn't afford to buy the equipment they wanted even if they came across it. However, even if they couldn't afford S-level equipment, they could still afford one or two A-level equipment.

So, they consciously moved to the shelves of A-level equipment and began to pick them hastily.

The second equipment store on Blue Star was surrounded by crowds of mermaids, and it was even more crowded and lively than during the Spring Festival travel rush on Blue Star. In addition, many mermaids who heard the news joined in.

Almost everyone on Xinghai Street gathered here, and many shop owners even closed their doors and joined the rush to buy.

The high-quality S-class equipment sold at Yanyu Equipment Store is usually the top item at major auctions, and is incredibly hard to come by. Now, it's all appearing in large quantities in a small equipment store, and with a generous subsidy from King Cardolin, how can it not drive people crazy!?

Just as Yan Yu was about to use the store teleportation array to enter the second equipment store on Blue Star to check on the business situation, her friend system suddenly sent a lot of messages, all sent by Cardolin.

Yan Yu was startled, thinking that something had gone wrong with the new store, and quickly clicked on Cadoline's message:

"Master Yan Yu! Do you have any stock left? The shelves at the Second Equipment Store on Blue Star are now empty!"

"I didn't expect there would be so many S-level and A-level equipment in the store. My tribesmen went crazy trying to grab them, and we almost got into a fight."

"Master Yan Yu, do you have any other equipment for sale? Everyone is gathered outside the store and refuses to leave. I can't persuade them to leave!"

What, all sold out?

Yan Yu subconsciously glanced at the time. If she remembered correctly, it seemed that less than ten minutes had passed since the store opened?

In just ten minutes, she sold a total of 1,000 A-level equipment and 50 S-level equipment, earning a total of 240,000 gold coins!

What a terrifying speed!

The corners of Yan Yu's mouth curled up, and she was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.

She knew that the mermaids had strong purchasing power, but she didn't expect it to be so strong. Hiss, but she liked it!
