Chapter 1 Central Plaza

In the silent VIP reception room, as Shi Feng finished paying one thousand gold and one hundred thousand magic crystals, a magical barrier formed in the central plaza of Coldwind City, teleporting away all the players who happened to be passing through.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't we enter the central plaza?"

"Surely not!"

"No, really! We can't get in, and we can't even see inside!"

The players standing outside the central plaza looked at the dark magical barrier that had formed, and couldn't help but become curious.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in the ears of all the players in the Coldwind City area.

System Announcement: The Asura Adventurer Team will build a teleportation gate in the central plaza. Players can use the teleportation gate to go to the Border Fortress. Detailed information will be announced on the bulletin board in the central plaza.

The system announcement rang three times in a row, constantly echoing in the ears of all the players in Coldwind City.

"What's going on? A teleportation gate? Does that mean we can teleport directly to other areas?"

"Doesn't seem like it."

"Is anyone at the central plaza? Can someone explain?"

"I just saw it. The Asura Adventurer Team is amazing. The teleportation gate they're building can directly teleport us to maps level 60 and above to level up. And this teleportation gate also leads to the Frozen Wasteland. From now on, we won't have to bother running all the way there to get to the Frozen Wasteland."

"Damn! Doesn't that mean it will be easier for us to level up in the future?"

...

For a time, the free players in Coldwind City were excited. For them, who had lived in Coldwind City for a long time, nothing was more troublesome than running around. Now that there was a teleportation gate, it was equivalent to saving half of their time, which they could use to directly level up and grind monsters. This would make their leveling speed much faster than before.

The free players were overjoyed, but for the major guilds, their expressions were becoming more and more somber.

The authority to become the City Lord's proxy might not be clear to free players, but it was not unfamiliar to the major guilds. They could find out with a little investigation.

Originally, the major guilds felt that there was still a chance to regain the position of proxy City Lord in a month, but now there was no chance at all. The Asura Adventurer Team was already invincible in Coldwind City.

The opening of the teleportation gate meant that the Asura Adventurer Team could start charging teleportation fees, obtain a large amount of funds, and use these funds to build more advanced buildings and obtain more contribution points...

And they would have less and less room to live. Everything in Coldwind City would be decided by the Asura Adventurer Team.

"Vice President, what should we do now?" In the first floor lobby of the Frozen Wasteland, Xuan Cang looked at the system notification and couldn't help but ask Vice President Bloodlight.

The Asura Adventurer Team had established a teleportation gate. Even if they completed those epic contribution quests, it would probably be difficult to compete with the Asura Adventurer Team.

"Interesting, I really underestimated the leader of this Asura Adventurer Team." Bloodlight smiled faintly, "But if this Asura Adventurer Team thinks that getting Coldwind City will allow them to contend with our Hecate, then they are very wrong. Immediately notify Vulture and tell them it is time to act."

"Let Vulture and them act?" Xuan Cang's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll go notify them now."

...

In the VIP reception room of the City Hall, after Shi Feng paid the construction fee, NPC Senior Executive Mo Kehans took out a detailed form about the small teleportation gate for Shi Feng to fill out.

The information on these forms was mainly for Shi Feng to set the price and level of the teleportation gate.

In God's Domain, the smaller the teleportation gate, the higher the cost, and the larger the gate, the lower the cost.

Therefore, the system gave a pricing, such as teleporting to the Frozen Wasteland, the minimum price was one silver and fifty copper coins per person, and the maximum could be set at five silver coins.

Shi Feng directly set it at two silver coins. This price was slightly expensive for ordinary players at the moment, but it was acceptable for elite players, after all, it saved a lot of time running around.

At the same time, he divided the teleportation personnel into three levels. Ordinary level teleportation had no discount, silver level could get a 10% discount, and gold level could get a 20% discount. This was equivalent to only charging one silver and sixty copper coins per person, which was ten copper coins higher than the minimum price.

For example, becoming a member of the Adventurer Alliance, as long as they reached the silver level, they could enjoy the silver treatment. Becoming a contributor recognized by the Adventurer Alliance, such as reaching the gold level, they could enjoy the gold treatment of the teleportation gate. As for the elite members of the Asura Adventurer Team, they could enjoy the silver treatment, and the core members were all gold level.

Once this rule came out, not only would players in Coldwind City want to join the Adventurer Alliance even more, but they would also make more contributions to the Adventurer Alliance. After all, teleportation was too convenient, and they would definitely use it often in the future. Just teleporting to the Frozen Wasteland, which was so close, could save twenty or forty copper coins. Teleporting to the other three fortresses would save even more money. Over time, it would definitely save a lot of money.

By then, it would be difficult for the Adventurer Alliance not to become stronger in Coldwind City.

After finishing the teleportation gate matters, Shi Feng immediately left the City Hall and rushed back to the Asura Residence.

For Shi Feng, building a teleportation gate was just a small matter.

The real big deal was still the purpose of his coming to the Ice Crystal World, which was to collect Soul Fusion Flowers.

Currently, in Coldwind City, he had tried his best and only collected six Soul Fusion Flowers. He was still far from twenty, and he had been in the Ice Crystal World for so long. It could be said that all the players or guilds in Coldwind City who had Soul Fusion Flowers had already exchanged them if they could. Getting Soul Fusion Flowers again was not something that could be done in a short time.

If he wanted to quickly obtain Soul Fusion Flowers and complete the Sage's Hand quest, he could only go to other area cities to collect them.

Returning to the courtyard of the Asura Residence, the entire residence was in an uproar, especially when they saw the leader of the team, Shi Feng, appearing. Everyone was in awe.

"Leader, you're back."

"Greetings, Leader!"

...

Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Shi Feng didn't dare to stay any longer. He could only nod in response and quickly walked into the residence.

"Leader, the people you asked me to gather have already been gathered. In addition to the five hundred experts from our Asura Adventurer Team, the others are all high-level life players selected from the Adventurer Alliance, a total of seven hundred people." Yan Ya pointed to the players standing in rows in the hall, and said with a smile, "This way, even if we go to other NPC cities, we won't lose to those well-known local adventurer teams by much."

It was not easy to gain a foothold in other NPC cities, whether for guilds or adventurer teams, because they had to compete with local guilds and adventurer teams. However, five hundred expert players were enough to compete with those large adventurer teams with two or three thousand people. And in an NPC city, there were very few large adventurer teams. In addition, with the existence of high-level life players, even if they couldn't exchange for existing good equipment from local guilds and adventurer teams, they could also obtain materials by killing monsters and let the life players make them, becoming self-sufficient.

As long as they survived in other cities for a period of time, Coldwind City could send other players there one after another, allowing the Asura Adventurer Team to continue to grow there.

"That's great. Fortunately, my strength has improved a lot recently, and I've exchanged for a Mithril equipment of level 50. This time, I can also go to other cities with the leader to have some fun."

"Who says no? This time, we're going to other cities to develop, and the contribution points we get there can be increased by 50%, and the points we get can also be increased by 15%. By the time other people come over, maybe I can be promoted to the bronze level."

The members of the team were all looking at Shi Feng at this time, discussing among themselves in private.

"Very good! Now that everyone is here, let's set off." Shi Feng glanced at the crowd with some excitement, nodded, and then led the way to the central plaza.
