Chapter 15 - 3 Fundamental Sources.
Creed finally arrived in front of a massive, intimidating mall, its exterior gleaming with green and gold colors, the unmistakable trademark of Empire Enterprise.
The building itself was a masterpiece, shaped almost like a colossal triangular prism, its edges lined with runic engravings that pulsed faintly with energy.
Each tier of the pyramid was strictly categorized for different levels of customers.
The Ground Floor was for common civilians and low ranked Awakeneds, filled with stalls selling basic weapons, armor, cheap medicines, and low tier cultivation techniques.
It was easily accessible, designed to bring in massive foot traffic and ensure that even the poorest Awakened could spend what little they had.
The Second Floor was for bronze and silver level Awakeneds, offering higher quality weapons, specialized armor, and mid tier cultivation techniques.
Access to this floor required a minimum spending limit, ensuring that only serious customers could enter.
The Third Floor and Above were exclusive floors for the rich and elite, selling rare artifacts, top-tier potions, luxury goods, and high-level techniques.
The only way to reach these floors was either by spending an enormous amount or by having an Empire Enterprise membership card.
The pyramid structure forced customers to move in a specific flow, guiding them through different levels of wealth without overcrowding and ensuring maximum efficiency in transactions.
Even the placement of stalls was carefully planned—cheaper products were placed at the entrance, drawing in as many people as possible, while expensive items were hidden deeper inside, making customers walk further and increasing the chances of impulse purchases.
