Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 650: The news spread, and orders exploded
Previously on Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”...
Meanwhile, Qi Bai had entered a state of deep cultivation.
He was on the cusp of the 60th tier, yet this barrier proved exceptionally challenging. Persistent effort in his cultivation was required to break through this bottleneck. Consequently, he frequently entered seclusion, severing all external contact. Only urgent dispatches from the military camp could possibly interrupt his practice.
Qi Bai believed Su Yuan would require an immense duration to finalize the refinement of the thousand Dominator Artifacts. Thus, he saw no need for frequent check-ins. In his estimation, it would be prudent to wait at least a few Yuan Assemblies before re-evaluating.
Currently, a mere seven hundred years had elapsed.
Naturally, Qi Bai remained immersed in his seclusion, yet to emerge.
Over at the Seven Stars Shop.
The influx of customers had also reached an unprecedented volume.
Many were taken aback upon observing the official decree posted on the shop's storefront.
With an official endorsement in place, the shop's legitimacy was virtually assured. And when they noticed that both the initial and subsequent orders had yielded True-Grade items, excitement surged among them.
When Su Yuan concluded Qi Bai's commission and showcased the Dominator-grade artifacts, the onlookers were left utterly speechless.
Su Yuan's renown instantaneously permeated the entirety of the Second Frontline.
Within the Second Frontline's communication channel.
A particular post rapidly ascended into the top hundred listings.
[Title]: (Trending!) A Mysterious Master's Establishment Appears in the Merit Points Mall! Merely Three Transactions Completed Thus Far, Each Yielding True-Grade Treasures!
[Content]: "While perusing the mall, I stumbled upon an extraordinary establishment. This shop only recently commenced operations. After filtering out transaction details below the 30th tier, it reveals only three recorded transactions.
"Two of these entries pertain to private dealings, boasting a one hundred percent success rate in artifact creation! The inaugural transaction utilized two sets of materials, resulting in a single True-Grade artifact. The second transaction involved twelve sets of materials, yielding two True-Grade and nine Supreme-Grade artifacts. Truly astounding!
"Crucially, the third transaction, a bulk order from Qingfeng City, comprising one thousand Dominator Artifacts, has already been fulfilled, manifesting twenty True-Grade artifacts amongst them! This order possesses immense value. It can be deduced that this enigmatic master's success rate for forging True-Grade artifacts stands at a remarkable two percent!
"Artificers of master-level capability, who can consistently produce True-Grade artifacts, are scarce, numbering only about thirty across the entire Second Frontline! The sudden appearance of this Master Seven Stars is profoundly astonishing! One must understand, typically, master-level artificers of such caliber necessitate personal consultations, appointment bookings, and substantial service fees for crafting their treasures.
"Yet, the service fee charged by this mysterious master is remarkably low, presenting an undeniable boon to the vast multitude of cultivators. While the shop's operational guidelines remain unchanged, esteemed patrons, seize this opportunity!"
The post's composition was straightforward, serving purely as a shared discovery.
Numerous individuals, upon reviewing it, navigated directly to the Seven Stars Artifacting Shop. Witnessing the three transaction records displayed on the shop's page and verifying their authenticity, they were unanimously filled with delighted surprise.
They conveyed their gratitude to the original poster for the valuable information, hailing him as a benefactor!
Attempts to contact Su Yuan proved unsuccessful, yielding no responses. Subsequently, upon discovering the shop's automated order placement feature, they all proceeded to place their orders.
Order after order was promptly generated within the shop's system, awaiting Su Yuan's meticulous refinement.
The count escalated swiftly from a single order to a thousand, then rapidly surged to seven hundred thousand.
Cultivators who arrived subsequently, confronted by this substantial backlog of orders, perceived the situation as an unmissable opportunity.
As long as the shop's automated contracting function for orders remained active, they could continue to submit requests. Even with an extended waiting period, it posed no impediment. Chaos Dominators possessed abundant time; they could all patiently endure the wait.
Thus, after the order volume reached seven hundred thousand, it continued its exponential ascent.
When Su Yuan emerged from the special treasury.
He attended to the shop's messages and was utterly bewildered!
"What in the world?"
Su Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
He accessed the shop's administrative panel and was confronted with a staggering statistic.
[Pending Orders]: 33,338,910 items
"33.33 million pending orders? What could possibly have happened?"
Su Yuan was equally astounded. He distinctly recalled that before he had proceeded to claim the special recompense, upon checking the shop's backend, the number of pending orders was precisely zero!
And the interval between his departure to claim the reward and his return spanned merely a few short days. Within such a brief timeframe, the order quantity had ballooned to 33.33 million?
Wait, it's still increasing!
In the span of a single Xi, the order count surged to a staggering 33.34 million!
"Unbelievable!"
Su Yuan exclaimed in disbelief.
Without a moment’s delay, he accessed the backend system and deactivated the automatic order acceptance feature.
The order number finally stabilized at 35 million!
It was an overwhelming and terrifying surge!
This volume completely surpassed Su Yuan's wildest expectations.
Raising his head, Su Yuan gazed into the distance and perceived a monumental influx of True Name threads broadcasting from the enigmatic Nothingness, all converging upon him.
Within his being, nascent True Name Stars materialized spontaneously, bestowing True Name anchor points upon him!
The count instantaneously escalated by tens of millions!
Remarkably, the vast majority were mid-to-high-tier Chaos Dominators residing at or above the 30th tier!
A profound sense of expansion washed over Su Yuan as his personal Chaos True Name Great Dao broadened considerably. The path forward was now utterly clear.
Su Yuan activated his Alliance Token to review the latest dispatches from the Second Frontline.
As anticipated, he discovered news pertaining to himself. The successful fulfillment of his three previous orders had demonstrably validated his artifacting prowess. Coupled with his exceptionally modest service fees, this had incited a massive rush of cultivators eager to seize the lucrative opportunity!
However, Su Yuan suddenly recognized a critical issue!
His aggressive pricing strategy was directly undermining his peers' livelihoods, inevitably sparking widespread resentment!
This could potentially attract unwanted scrutiny from influential figures within the cultivation world.
With this concern in mind, he promptly disseminated a public notice from his shop:
"This is Seven Stars, hereby announcing the immediate conclusion of the shop’s grand opening promotional event! The artificer’s previous refinement fee structure was a limited-time, low-price offer exclusively for our shop’s inaugural launch. Due to unforeseen circumstances and an overwhelming influx of orders, this promotional event has ended immediately. Future fee structures will be communicated separately. Our establishment prioritizes integrity and customer satisfaction above all else. All customers who have already placed orders will still receive the previously agreed-upon promotional benefits. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!"
Upon the dissemination of this message, late-arriving Chaos Dominators were consumed by a deep sense of regret for having missed the exceptional bargain.
Upon witnessing the 35 million orders awaiting fulfillment, they too were taken aback. Such a situation was extraordinarily rare, even unprecedented!
Typically, every master artificer cultivated their reputation and gradually increased their service fees as their strength and standing grew. Once an artificer reached a certain echelon, the entry requirements and associated costs would significantly escalate, often leaving ordinary cultivators in a state of despair.
Yet, Su Yuan, a newly emerged master artificer, possessed formidable artifacting skills and maintained remarkably low service fees. This unique opportunity to acquire such high-quality services at a bargain price was truly unparalleled, thus leading to this astonishing spectacle!
The sheer volume of orders was widely shared across various forums. Combined with Su Yuan's official declaration, the news rapidly ascended to become the top trending topic on the Second Frontline.
This revelation sent shockwaves throughout the entire artifacting community of the Second Frontline, eliciting a diverse array of reactions – astonishment, speechless awe, profound shock, palpable jealousy, and a bewildered sense of amusement. The name Seven Stars instantly became synonymous with prominence across the Second Frontline.
