"Finished so quickly?"
Hearing Melancholy Smile's report, Shi Feng was delighted.
Advanced transport carriages were not easy to make. Even with all the materials prepared, issues with certain components could render them substandard, requiring the parts to be replaced and reassembled. It was an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
However, once completed, they would provide tremendous help to the town's development.
Stone Forest Town's reconstruction had already been completed, but without the crucial transport carriages, it simply could not unlock its true potential.
Although they could rent ordinary carriages from NPCs, those carriages could carry far too few players—only three or four at most. Moreover, renting them was rather expensive, while the time saved was limited. Their speed was comparable to ordinary mounts. If players had to spend forty copper coins to save five hours, many ordinary players would likely choose to walk instead. In the end, Shi Feng set the price at thirty copper coins, neither earning nor losing money.
Now, with advanced transport carriages, many problems could be solved. First, they were fast enough to rival Mystic Iron Grade mounts. Second, they could carry twenty people. Transporting players alone would bring in considerable profits, not to mention the truly important cargo.
An advanced transport carriage could carry sixty items that could not fit inside a backpack.
In player towns, the quantity of items wandering merchants sold depended entirely on a town's freight capacity. This was because most goods wandering merchants transported from one town to another were items players' backpacks could not carry.
The more items that could not be stored in spatial backpacks a town could transport, the more rare goods the wandering merchants entering that town would sell. The number of wandering merchants would also increase accordingly. This could be considered hidden information.
