Chapter 1 System Notification

The system notification sound suddenly rang, immediately startling Shi Feng.

"It's opening so soon?" Shi Feng looked at the system prompt with some surprise.

NPC city auction houses are different from player-built auction houses. Like shops, they can be continuously upgraded, but the upgrade conditions are much more demanding than player shops.

Not only must the auction house meet a certain daily flow of customers, but the requirements for transaction volume are also very high, and it can’t just be achieved once, but must be maintained for a considerable period.

Generally speaking, NPC auction houses will have to wait until players reach level 100 before they can be upgraded.

Because after players reach level 100 and possess the title of the NPC city, they can enter the auction house's noble district.

This noble district of the auction house is very attractive to players and is also the core value of the NPC auction house after entering level 100, making it impossible for the auction houses built by major forces to compare.

The reason for this is that the noble district is a trading platform for noble NPCs, in other words, items consigned by NPCs, not items consigned by players.

It should be known that the items possessed by noble NPCs are extraordinary, much more precious than the items of those NPC wandering merchants, and sometimes even epic-level items are sold. The number and quality of consigned items in the noble district are related to the prosperity of a city. The more prosperous the city, the higher the quality and quantity of consigned items in the noble district.

This is also why the major forces in the previous life wanted to develop NPC cities, especially the major super forces. The more prosperous the NPC city, the higher the revenue of the auction house would naturally be.

For ordinary players, it is also an additional channel to obtain top-quality weapons and equipment and super rare items.

Due to the opening of the noble district, the players in God's Domain have also truly become active, no longer limited to one place, because the items sent out in each NPC auction house are different, it can be said that each has its own characteristics. Perhaps this NPC auction house does not have what you want, but another NPC auction house may have it.

So for players, they want to go to other NPC auction houses as much as possible, and to enter the noble district, they need to have the title of the city, so they have to be active in the city and do quests to increase the city's reputation.

However, the activity of players also caused a real major turmoil in God's Domain.

In order to obtain more benefits, not only was the competition between the major forces more intense, but they also began to frantically develop NPC cities.

The development of NPC cities is divided into two categories.

One is the number of players and the degree of commercial prosperity of the NPC city.

The other is the city development tasks that players can only access after reaching level 100.

Level 100 is a huge watershed. It can be said that before level 100, players have received various preferential treatments, allowing players to have a familiar and understanding process of God's Domain, but after level 100, there will be no such preferential treatment.

This is especially true for the major forces.

When the level 100 city development task is opened, the major forces will desperately do this task in order to develop the NPC cities within their jurisdiction as much as possible and strive for more player population.

However, these tasks to develop the city are all about letting players get various resources, but these resources are not as abundant as imagined. Not only are they all in maps above level 100, but they will also involve the dark forces and the major kingdoms and empires.

It can be said that players are truly starting to influence the major kingdoms and empires.

Because of this, it is normal for some kingdoms and empires to be destroyed, or it can be said that this is what the major forces like to see.

Because only when a kingdom and an empire are overthrown, there will be land for the major forces to establish a kingdom and an empire!

This is why Shi Feng wanted to prepare for level 100 as early as possible.

At that time, God's Domain without many restrictions will tell the major forces a truth, that is, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it.

If the major forces, even the super forces, want to be as comfortable as they are now, then they are simply dreaming. Even the protection of NPC cities may be breached at any time, and all the NPC city advantages accumulated in the early stage will be lost. There are only two ways to resist.

The first is to upgrade the NPC city where you are located.

The second is to improve your own strength.

"Sure enough, the earlier you connect the guild town auction house, the more benefits you get." After Shi Feng pondered for a moment, he smiled and directly chose to unlock it.

Originally, he was still worried that the preparation time was not enough, after all, Star Ring had already entered Dragon Heart Island and had been mixing in the Earth's Core Mountain Range for quite some time.

The resources of Dragon Heart Island and the resources in the Earth's Core Mountain Range are better than the Abyss of No Return in some respects, especially Dragon Heart Island, which is mainly aimed at players after level 100.

But now it's good, the unlocking of the White River City Auction House is earlier than he expected.

Suddenly, a system notification sound rang in Shi Feng's ears again, and an auction house system bar appeared.

System: The advanced functions of the White River City Auction House are unlocked, opening the first layer of advanced functions of the auction house.

There are two first-layer advanced functions that can be opened in the auction house system.

The first is the noble district downgrade function, allowing the noble district, which originally could only be entered at level 100, to now be entered at level 90. To open this function, you need to spend 600,000 gold coins and 100,000 magic crystals.

The second is the auction agency function, which allows a three-star large player shop to have the NPC consignment function, requiring a cost of 1 million gold coins and 150,000 magic crystals.

"Why is the asking price higher than in the previous life?" Shi Feng was speechless when he saw the conditions for opening the function.

Originally, the downgrade function only required 300,000 gold coins and 100,000 magic crystals in the previous life, and the auction agency only needed 500,000 gold and 150,000 magic crystals.

Now it has doubled directly, and even the super forces will probably twitch their eyes at this price.

Although Zero Wing's ability to make money is very strong now, it will take a considerable amount of time to accumulate millions of gold, after all, there are too many places where the development of the guild city needs to spend money. In addition, the number of guild members has soared, and the current gold coins saved by the guild are less than 200,000 gold.

As for magic crystals, it is better. The guild's current inventory is nearly 300,000 magic crystals.

However, Shi Feng thought about it and felt that it was not unacceptable.

After all, the level of mainstream players is still less than level 75, and the advanced functions of the auction house have been opened. This is a huge advantage.

Downgrading can bring a large number of people to the auction house, which will definitely make the White River City Auction House far ahead of other cities' auction houses, and the auction agency is even more needless to say, it simply turns a shop into a small auction house, and it is still consigning NPC items.

Even if the items consigned by the NPCs are just commoners, the attraction to players is very huge, not to mention that it is not just commoners. If the shop is famous enough, nobles will definitely go to consign.

Just this alone can probably get a lot of rare resources, and also allow a shop to master absolute advantages.

"It seems that I have to save gold coins for a while later."

Shi Feng thought for a while and decided to let Aqua Rose slightly reduce some of the guild's expenses, so that it should be able to collect enough in less than ten days, and then the advanced functions of the auction house can be opened.

After finishing the auction house matters, Shi Feng also entered the Candlelight Firm and began to study the Blood Refining Triple Magic Array.

As a forging secret technique created by the God of War, the production process is completely different from the production of ordinary weapons and equipment, but a combination of magic array and forging.

Although ordinary forging masters will also study magic arrays and have a certain degree of learning and research on magic arrays, it is only an auxiliary after all.

Now the first level of the Blood Refining Secret Technique's triple magic array is two or three times more complicated than the intermediate magic array, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Even if Shi Feng has reached the level of advanced magic array, it is not so easy to learn and master.

In the silent meditation room, Shi Feng quietly studied the magic array.

Time passed little by little.

The more Shi Feng studied the Blood Refining Triple Magic Array, the more shocked he was. He didn't expect that magic arrays could be used in this way.

These magic arrays are not ordinary magic arrays. The links and applications in them are vaguely related to the Realm of Truth, and they have simply brought the application of intermediate magic arrays to the extreme.

Shi Feng spent an hour studying the first magic array.

However, when studying the second magic array, the difficulty obviously increased by a large margin. It was more than three times more complicated than a normal advanced magic array, and it was almost close to a master-level magic array.

If those masters who have mastered advanced magic arrays come over, I am afraid it will be impossible to master it, but Shi Feng's thinking has been much faster than before after using the Life Potion to increase brain activity. In addition, Shi Feng has already entered the Realm of Truth, so he can barely learn it.

"Success!" Shi Feng was overjoyed when he saw the successfully drawn magic array.

Immediately, Shi Feng began to make Casting Gold Stones. As for studying the third magic array, don't even think about it without the level of a master-level magic array. Shi Feng naturally gave up.

Although the production of Casting Gold Stones is troublesome, it is very easy for Shi Feng. The only troublesome magic array has been solved. In less than five minutes, Shi Feng used the second magic array he mastered to create a golden stone block, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy, causing the magic density around it to begin to decrease.

"I wonder what the effect will be?"

Shi Feng then took out the Holy Sword Thunder Rend and directly integrated the Casting Gold Stone into it.
