Chapter 1 The Orc Empire

Orc Empire, Silverwing Town.

After shaking off the pursuit of the dark players, Shi Feng returned directly to the Zero Wing Residence in Silverwing Town to arrange the NPC merchants' freight and purchase issues.

Although the trade route had been opened, charging the NPCs a usage fee required players and NPC guards to work together. In addition, purchasing items sold by NPCs also required players to be present when the NPC merchants displayed their goods. All of this required considerable manpower.

Moreover, to purchase items from the NPC merchants, one had to have some knowledge of these goods, requiring dedicated personnel.

However, as soon as Shi Feng returned to the Guild Residence, he saw the entire place buzzing with excitement, everyone chatting happily and excitedly.

"Guild Leader, you're back! Everyone's been talking about you," Aqua Rose said with slight excitement as she looked at Shi Feng's return. "Because of your performance at the Secret Stone Fortress and your feat of repelling thousands of dark adventurers with a single sword strike, you've been hailed by many as the number one swordsman of the Orc Empire. Although some object, claiming it's undeserved until they've truly fought you, this incident has led to an increasing number of players from the surrounding countries wanting to join our Zero Wing Guild. Furthermore, some well-known experts from other countries want to challenge you, but Fire Dance and the others have taken them on. They're all fighting in the arena right now."

"Well-known experts from other countries challenging me?" Shi Feng couldn't help but chuckle. "That's a good thing."

He hadn't expected his battle at the Secret Stone Fortress to lead to such developments.

Although there were many who wanted to challenge him in Star-Moon Kingdom before, it was limited to Star-Moon Kingdom. Now, players from the surrounding countries wanted to challenge him, indicating that his fame had reached a considerable height in the surrounding countries, or else it wouldn't have attracted the challenges of these well-known experts.

This was a great thing for their Silverwing Town.

"Aqua, starting today, set up a dedicated challenge arena in the arena for those who want to challenge me. However, there should be restrictions on the challenges. Each challenge will cost five gold coins, and winning will earn you twenty gold coins. If they can achieve ten consecutive victories in this challenge arena, I'll accept their challenge. As for who to send, choose from our main force members," Shi Feng said.

"I understand," Aqua Rose's eyes lit up.

This would not only make the arena more popular but also earn more money. It could also train the main force, making it a triple win.

"Smiling, how are the Omniscient Magic Armor and Elven Silver that I asked you to make coming along?" Shi Feng turned to Melancholic Smile and asked.

Before he went to do the trade route mission, he entrusted the matters of the Omniscient Magic Armor and Elven Silver to Melancholic Smile.

The Omniscient Magic Armor was an item he created himself. He could create as many blueprints as he wanted, but the success rate of others making the Omniscient Magic Armor was lower than his as the creator, and the cost was slightly higher, so he didn't have everyone make it.

But now that the forging technology has improved, and with Melancholic Smile, a forging grandmaster, it wasn't impossible to mass-produce the Omniscient Magic Armor.

"Currently, only I have a high success rate in making the Omniscient Magic Armor, so I'm the only one making it. So far, I've made fifty-three pieces, far short of two hundred. However, Frost Cocoa has been promoted to a forging grandmaster in Titan City. If we add her, I believe we can gather two hundred pieces in a day at most. As for the Elven Silver, we've made over two hundred bottles and can send them over at any time," Melancholic Smile reported happily.

"Frost Cocoa has also been promoted to a forging grandmaster?" Shi Feng was also delighted.

Master-level lifestyle classes are favored by major forces everywhere, not to mention one of the three major classes, the blacksmith. Now that Frost Cocoa has been promoted to a forging grandmaster, Candlelight Trading Firm’s strength will be even higher.

Although Candlelight Trading Firm had two forging grandmasters before, he himself was the guild leader, busy all day long and had no time at all. Melancholic Smile had to manage Candlelight Trading Firm, and the time he could make things was also very little, but Frost Cocoa was different. No one needs to manage her, and she can focus on forging.

"Guild Leader, there's more than that. During the time you were doing the mission, a large batch of rare materials was sent from the Ice Crystal World. I left some unique materials here and sold the other materials in batches to the major kingdoms and empires. Some of them were made into goods and sold. Excluding the goods and costs we took to the Ice Crystal World, we made another 53,000 gold," Melancholic Smile said.

"So much?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised when he heard Melancholic Smile's report.

He had only left the Ice Crystal World for a few days. Before he left, he had already bought up all the accumulated materials from the two NPC cities. He didn't expect so much to accumulate so quickly.

It must be said that the wealth earned from obtaining rare materials from other worlds is amazing.

Of course, it was also thanks to the Shura Adventure Team and the established Adventurer Alliance, or else it would not have been so easy to collect a large number of rare materials in the Ice Crystal World.

And this is just the two NPC cities in the Ice Crystal World. If they could occupy the entire Ice Crystal World, the wealth they would obtain would probably be more than the magic crystal mines sold by Tianji Pavilion.

No wonder the major superpowers are fighting like crazy. Third-rate and second-rate guilds can only watch from the sidelines, and first-rate guilds can only drink a little soup.

"Okay, I understand." Shi Feng thought for a while, then said to Aqua Rose on the side, "Aqua, immediately contact Feng Qianyu of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and Undying Battle Heart of War Soul. Tell them that the things they want will arrive tomorrow. If they don't have enough magic crystals, they can use gold coins to pay for part of it."

"I'll go inform them." Aqua Rose nodded.

After arranging these matters, Shi Feng went directly to the Advanced Blacksmith Shop in Silverwing Town.

At this time, the Advanced Blacksmith Shop was crowded with players, most of whom came to disassemble some unwanted equipment, and then use the materials disassembled from these equipment to customize new equipment.

Although the Zero Wing Guild can only extract 10% of the profit, he can earn 10 to 15 copper coins for disassembling a Bronze-rank equipment, 20 to 30 copper coins for Mysterious-Iron equipment, 40 to 50 copper coins for Mithril-rank equipment, 70 to 80 copper coins for Fine-Gold rank, and 1 silver coin to 1 silver and 50 copper coins for Dark-Gold.

It seems that he doesn't earn much, but he can't stand the large number of people and equipment. In addition to the money for repairing equipment, the daily income is more than three or four hundred gold. And this is just the money earned from disassembly and repair. As players get enough materials and money, the profits from customizing weapons and equipment are the biggest. As the player's level increases, the name of the Advanced Blacksmith Shop gradually spreads, and the income of one or two thousand gold a day is not impossible.

Shi Feng just looked at the situation of the Advanced Blacksmith Shop, repaired his weapons and equipment, and then used the City Return Scroll to go from White River City to the Adventurers Association of Star-Moon City.

"Respected Guardian, how can I help you?" The NPC Senior Deacon looked at Shi Feng sitting in the VIP reception room and asked.

"I want to build a Transportation and Trade Firm in Silverwing Town. This is the design drawing. I hope you can build it as soon as possible." Shi Feng put the design drawing of the Trade Firm on the table without saying a word.

Before, because he didn't have money, he could put off the matter of building a Transportation and Trade Firm, but now that he has money, he naturally wants to build a Transportation and Trade Firm as soon as possible.

"There is no problem with this, the construction cost is a total of 20,000 gold," The NPC Senior Deacon nodded after confirming that there was no problem with the design drawing.

Shi Feng immediately took out 20,000 gold and handed it directly to the NPC Senior Deacon.

As the transaction was established, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Shi Feng's ear.
