My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 273 - 270 We Want to be the Ones Setting the

Tang Yu held his breath and kept silent, only feeling… was this speed of identification a bit fast?

He thought there were only two Rune Masters in the Territory, but now it seemed that Eileen’s expertise had already surpassed his own.

It stung a little.

In no time at all, Eileen had completed the identification of the pieces of equipment.

Her department was responsible for equipment sales and market analysis; she already had the prices of all kinds of equipment at her fingertips.

“Leave this one aside,” Eileen moved the Meteor Hammer to one side and explained, “This type of niche weapon is rarely used by Awakeners, and those who do use it usually hope to customize one that suits them best. The Meteor Hammer is not suitable for mass production, but it can still be displayed on the shelves to increase the variety of weapons we sell.”

“The weapons most popular among Awakeners are battle sabers, followed by spears and longswords; these three categories have the highest sales volume, accounting for over eighty percent of weapon sales. As for armor, Awakeners often purchase full-body Combat Uniforms and battle boots…”

Tang Yu nodded in understanding, “Among these pieces of equipment, the longsword and the battle saber are the most suitable for sale, right?”

“Not exactly,” Eileen unexpectedly shook her head, “What can bring the most profit is that piece of bright silver armor.”

She continued, “Swords, Combat Uniforms, these kinds of equipment, although they are the most popular, at the same time, we have too many of them. Take battle saber equipment, for example, there are fifteen types, including six one-rune battle sabers, eight two-rune battle sabers, and one three-rune battle saber.”

“This wide-bladed battle saber inscribed with three runes, once it’s on the shelves, will indeed be favored by many Awakeners, but such three-rune equipment is priced too high, and few Awakeners can afford it. We can’t lower the price either, so overall, the profit is not high.”

“Other weapons, including the longswords and daggers, because we have too many styles, sometimes Awakeners are overwhelmed by the choices and don’t know which one to pick. They can only keep trying; now, the supermarket’s equipment trial area is crowded every day.”

“On the other hand, the popularity of the armor, although it cannot be compared with Combat Uniforms, we have relatively few styles of armor to begin with, especially no heavy armor models… Holding a shield and wearing heavy armor may not be too convenient, but with the cooperation of teammates, it can decide the key points of a battle. This two-rune armor should be a priority for the Equipment Department to produce, to ensure we have certain stock…”

Eileen slowly articulated her evaluation of each piece of equipment.

Armor, battle saber, dagger, Eileen had already provided a price range. Soon, the Logistics Department staff would take the equipment away, and analyze and determine the specific prices.

The recent week’s equipment prices and sales volumes had been reviewed by Tang Yu, and when he heard what Eileen had to say about the vast variety of weapons causing Awakeners to fall into choice paralysis…

With his left hand propping up his right elbow, and his right hand supporting his chin, he keenly sensed the crux of the problem, “This seems to be troublesome.”

Eileen pondered and furrowed her brow before saying, “Most people don’t understand equipment; they can’t judge the quality of the gear and can only try out different pieces continuously. But sometimes, merely testing the equipment isn’t enough for them to make up their minds.”

In the past, the Demon-slaying Longsword was renowned for its sharpness, and there were no other options, so everyone was eager to buy it.

But now, with more equipment available and prices being higher, the degree of sharpness lacked clear comparison, and the functionality of equipment varied even more.

Which piece was suitable for oneself? These buyers really didn’t know. Source Crystals didn’t just blow in with the wind, so spending had to be done with great caution.

“In the end, it’s because in their minds, there is no price standard for rune equipment, so… we will establish a price standard for them.”

As Tang Yu pondered, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It seemed feasible!

“If we categorize the equipment and rank it, then in the future, even if the Awakeners don’t understand runes or the identification of equipment, as long as they see the equipment’s ranking, they will naturally associate it with a general price range, and when buying equipment, they wouldn’t need to try out each piece, getting confused by the abundant choices.”

Why do the pills and magical treasures in cultivation novels have different levels? It’s clearly to create market standards!

Rune equipment should be the same.

In the past, there were terms like basic equipment and advanced equipment, but in reality, there wasn’t a specific division.

One-rune, two-rune, and three-rune equipment did have clear boundaries, yet the runes engraved on them differentially determined the value of the equipment—a two-rune piece might not necessarily be cheaper than a three-rune one.

After a moment of thought, Tang Yu spoke up, “Perhaps we could start with a simple classification, like ranking the equipment as E-level Basic Rune Equipment, D-level Basic Rune Equipment, C-level Intermediate, B-level Advanced, A-level Top-tier, and so on…”

“For weapons, they could be rated based on their sharpness, along with other special effects.”

“We can even highly detail the levels within each tier, like a standard Demon-slaying Longsword is an E1 level weapon, an enhanced type one Demon-slaying Longsword is E2, and the type two enhancement is E3.”

“With this system, equipment will have a very clear level classification, and we can even provide a recommended range for buyers, such as for dealing with Fourth or Fifth Layer Demonized Beasts, it’s suitable to purchase E3-D1 level weapons.”

This was just a preliminary idea and surely needed improvement.

But the more Tang Yu thought about it, the more excited he became—it wasn’t just a matter of sales volume; he was looking much further ahead.

The Territory couldn’t monopolize the sale of rune equipment forever. Other large sanctuaries are also stepping up their research on rune equipment, with some even acquiring valuable information from secret realms.

In the future, more forces capable of producing rune equipment would emerge.

The Territory simply had a head start over others, although Tang Yu was confident that he could maintain the lead.

However, once this equipment ranking system was widely adopted, no matter how many competitors later arrived, as soon as one mentioned equipment ranking, they would immediately think of the Green Shadow Sanctuary.

This would be the originator of rune equipment.

Thinking of those who set standards before the apocalypse, Tang Yu understood that there were many interests at stake here.
