Chapter 1 The Silver-Tiered Guild

System: Congratulations on becoming the first player to construct a Transportation Trade Firm in God's Domain, rewarded with a Silver-Tiered Twin Lions Commerce Token.

The system notification echoed three times, lingering in Shi Feng's ears, causing him to momentarily freeze.

"A Silver-Tiered Twin Lions Commerce Token?" Shi Feng stared in astonishment at the silver token that appeared in his hand.

The silver token was engraved with a twin lion motif, and its edges were adorned with golden divine runes, exuding an ancient aura, indicating it was quite old.

"Congratulations, Protector, on obtaining this Twin Lions Commerce Token, granting you silver VIP status within the Twin Lions Commerce. As one of the three oldest commerce guilds in God's Domain, becoming their VIP is no easy feat. But once you achieve VIP status, it will greatly aid in the town's future trade and transportation. I hope you take good care of it, Protector, and do not lose it, as lost tokens cannot be replaced," the high-ranking NPC steward instructed, slowly explaining.

However, Shi Feng didn't hear a single word of the NPC's explanation.

He knew the value of the Twin Lions Commerce Token far better than the NPC, and he was intimately familiar with the capabilities and influence of the Twin Lions Commerce.

As one of the oldest commerce guilds, the exact date of the Twin Lions Commerce's founding was unknown. Legend had it that even the War God's Temple, renowned throughout the continent, was initially funded by the Twin Lions Commerce. Although its influence was not as great as the War God's Temple, which spanned the entire God's Domain continent, the strength of the Twin Lions Commerce was still unmatched by ordinary empires, rivaled only by the four great empires of God's Domain.

For guilds, the Twin Lions Commerce was even more important than the four great empires, and perhaps even more so than the War God's Temple.

This was because the Twin Lions Commerce's transportation routes spanned nearly half of God's Domain. If one wanted to transport non-spatial items across countries, using the Twin Lions Commerce's transportation routes was the safest option, far surpassing the benefits of a guild organizing its own transport team.

If it were a guild's own transport team, not only would it be unsafe, but its transportation speed would likely be less than half that of the Twin Lions Commerce.

However, using the Twin Lions Commerce's transportation routes was not easy. First, one had to become a member of the Twin Lions Commerce, which meant obtaining a Twin Lions Commerce Token, only then would one be qualified to use the transportation routes.

Therefore, major guilds and player merchants all wanted to join the Twin Lions Commerce.

Depending on their status within the Twin Lions Commerce, they could receive corresponding benefits and treatment. The higher the status, the greater the discounts, and they could even use some commercial routes that were not open to the public, especially in neutral maps.

In his previous life, the Youying Guild's transport was robbed by NPCs because his level in the Twin Lions Commerce was not high enough at the time, forcing him to lead the team himself. If his level had been high enough, that wouldn't have happened.

Within the Twin Lions Commerce, the token represented one's status, in the following order: Common Token, Bronze Token, Silver Token, Gold Token, and Elder Token.

Although there were only five levels, even a Common Token was very difficult to obtain. On the market, a Common Token of the Twin Lions Commerce was worth around 10,000 gold, and even then, there were no sellers. It was clear how difficult it was to obtain a Common Token. In addition, the Twin Lions Commerce only recognized the token, not the person. There was no promotion without a token. Each type of token had a limited quantity and would drop upon death, so countless players and forces fought over them.

As far as he knew, the upper limit for Common Tokens was ninety-nine, the upper limit for Bronze Tokens was forty-nine, the upper limit for Silver Tokens was twenty-four, the upper limit for Gold Tokens was twelve, and as for the legendary Elder Tokens, he had no information on them, not even the upper limit. But he assumed that it would not exceed ten.

For the vast God's Domain, these tokens were simply not enough to go around, so each one was extremely valuable.

In his previous life, he was lucky enough to obtain a Common Token.

He never expected to obtain a Silver Token in this life.

"Now I don't have to worry about transporting important items in neutral maps," Shi Feng thought, looking at the Twin Lions Token.

Non-spatial items have always been priceless, especially unique non-spatial items transported across countries, the prices were simply outrageous, mainly because transportation was too expensive. However, many important items often required these materials.

The most well-known example was the special wood used for shipbuilding. As players' levels continued to rise, towns would need more and more non-spatial materials for development. In addition, the production of special weapons and props would require more and more of these materials. This was why the Twin Lions Commerce was so sought after by major guilds and merchant players.

Now that he had a Silver Token, he could travel through many neutral maps without any problems, and he could make a fortune by transporting these unique non-spatial materials.

In addition, the Twin Lions Commerce held an auction once a month, and that auction was unlike any auction held by players or empires. It could be said that it was the most top-level auction in the entire God's Domain. Even legendary items had appeared, and fragments of legendary items were not uncommon. Epic items were commonplace.

It could be said that every time such an auction was held, it was a time for major forces to strengthen the combat power of their guild experts.

However, participation was not easy. At the very least, one had to obtain a Common Token. Different tokens allowed different numbers of people to enter. A Common Token only allowed one person to enter, a Bronze Token allowed two, a Silver Token allowed three, and a Gold Token allowed five. As for the Elder Token, no one had ever obtained one, so no one knew what the situation was.

"It seems I can have Aqua Rose organize some manpower and transport the Adamantine Wood that has been stored in the warehouse to the shipyard in the Apocalypse Empire," Shi Feng said with a slight smile, looking at the Twin Lions Commerce's Silver Token.

Before, he had been worried about insufficient strength during transportation, so he had not transported the collected Adamantine Wood. But now that he had a Silver Token, he could use the power of the Twin Lions Commerce to transport it all in one go, as long as he spent a little more money. Although there were no blueprints for bronze-level speedboats, using Adamantine Wood to make advanced speedboats in the shipyard would also improve their attributes to a certain extent.

Then Shi Feng had Aqua Rose send out guild experts to start preparing, while he himself returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm's special forging room to wholeheartedly create Omnipotent Magical Equipment.

Although Frost Cocoa and Melancholic Smile could indeed produce the quantity needed by the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and War Soul Alliance, besides selling to the two major guilds, he also needed it urgently himself, which was to go to the Flame Demon Valley and open the gate to another world as soon as possible.

With the help of the Sage's Hand, the Candlelight Trading Firm's lifestyle players could keep up with the development speed of the Zero Wing Guild. After all, making boats required a large number of engineering masters, and relying on the strength of just two or three people was simply not enough, not to mention making Hell Chariots and Guardian Puppets.

On the other side, in Silverwing Town, the sudden appearance of the Transportation Trade Firm, a building with three floors, as big as a stadium, caused a stir among the players in the town.
