After Shi Feng chose to upgrade the shops, the renovation time for Candlelight Trading Firm's branch stores was very short.
In just ten minutes, the five one-star shops had become two-star shops.
Although the shops' sales volume would not increase, they could accommodate several times more lifestyle players—more than enough for the 1,200 recruits this time.
