Chapter 978: Chapter 976 Divine Emperor of Heaven

008 emphasized the final consequence. "In the worst-case scenario, their store would be permanently banned. All existing listings would be confiscated by the system, and they’d lose everything. They would have no choice but to start from scratch if they wanted to open a new store."

Almost excitedly, 008 laid out both the benefits of the branding feature for them and the heavy price that awaited anyone who tried to pry open their products and rebrand them once the system caught on.

"But how will the system know if another merchant tries to rebrand the products?" Kisha asked.

"Well," 008 began, "once a merchant activates the branding feature and lists their products in their stores, the system doesn’t just put the brand on the packaging, it embeds it into every particle of the product itself."

"So, even if another merchant opens the packaging, repackages the items, and tries to sell them as their own, the system will still detect it. The system has encountered cases like this before and has strengthened its product protection accordingly. That’s why so many high-ranking, high-grade store merchants work hard to climb the ranks; they want their products fully protected from being rebranded."

Although 008 was explaining this to Kisha with confidence, in reality, it had just discovered the information itself while reading the new page in the rulebook that appeared alongside the branding feature.

"I see... then let’s ask my mother-in-law for some ideas first," Kisha decided, her excitement growing. "She’s good at almost everything, has a creative mind, and knows how to paint; maybe she can come up with an even better design for our brand."

Since they didn’t have a design yet, Kisha planned to activate the branding feature once it was ready. For now, she focused on polishing her business plan in her mind and reviewing it with 008. The more in sync they were, the smoother the store would run; each of them needed to understand exactly how operations should flow.

"Understood, Host," 008 said, presenting a curated list of items Kisha might be interested in. The first item was an Alchemy Furnace, adorned with a massive golden dragon coiling around the furnace with its five fingers holding an orb.

Embedded around the furnace were gems of different colors, and it wasn’t just for decoration, because each contained an array. There were at least seven large crystal gems of different colors, along with several smaller ones, each with its own unique pattern.

"Actually, Host, your deduction was correct," 008 explained eagerly. "These crystal gems have arrays embedded in them, and each array serves a different function. That’s why I chose this Alchemy Furnace as the first option."

"It doesn’t just increase the success rate; it also preserves the best properties of each ingredient during the process and maintains the spiritual energy imbued in them. Normally, an alchemist would have to constantly replenish high concentrations of spiritual energy while concocting pills, which dissipates under the intense heat of fire, especially when using True Fire or Spiritual Fire. This furnace minimizes that loss, making the process far more efficient."

008’s voice carried excitement, reflecting the effort it had put into searching the market for the best options and creating a list for Kisha to choose from.

Although 008 had its own little scheme, everything it chose was top quality, which naturally came with a high price tag, but it didn’t bother Kisha. Sure, spending so many system points stung a little, and Kisha’s wallet might "bleed" from the purchase.

But at the same time, each point she spent gave 008 a commission, which directly boosted its ranking points. Having done this many times before, 008 knew exactly how to balance utility with its own gains.

Kisha didn’t even want to call it out. Because she was already captivated by the Alchemy Furnace, and she ended up ignoring the other options on the list entirely. Its design alone, the coiling golden dragon, the sparkling embedded gems, was enough to catch her eye. After all, girls liked pretty things, and this furnace was undeniably stunning.

But the price... the price alone was 1 billion system points. Just seeing that number made Kisha feel like she might cough up blood. She had never imagined that an item could be this expensive.

Then she noticed three more dots below the equipment’s list of description. Realizing that the equipment’s introduction and effects were too extensive to be listed neatly, she scrolled down to see the final feature: ’Fire Storage’. That meant she could store her Spiritual Fire in the furnace and simply refill it when it ran out.
