Chapter 1 Airport Construction

As Shi Feng took out the construction order for the airport, the NPC Senior Steward, after confirming it was correct, took out a list of airport design drawings and handed it directly to Shi Feng for review.

Unlike other advanced buildings, airport construction can be done directly as long as there is a construction order, and the scale depends on the player's own capital.

There are three sizes of airports for players to choose from: small, medium, and large.

The larger the scale of the airport, the more airships it can dock, and the better the airships are equipped.

"This is really expensive!" Shi Feng felt like he had instantly become poor after looking at the prices of various airports.

The cheapest on the list was a small airport for 50,000 gold, and the most expensive small airport was as high as 150,000 gold, not to mention the medium and large airports...

Although he already knew that the base price for a small airport was 50,000 gold, he didn't expect the price difference between small airports to be so large.

Of course, the price reflects the quality.

Just a little comparison can show how shabby a 50,000 gold airport is.

A 50,000 gold airport only has four small docking ports, and the airships used are ordinary small airships, while a 150,000 gold small airport has six small docking ports, and the airships are all small Bronze-rank airships. Not only is the speed 30% faster than ordinary small airships, but the loading capacity is also 50% higher, resulting in more than double the revenue.

However, after deducting the cost of the guild's promotion, plus the guild's accumulated gold coins during this period, he only has more than 90,000 gold left. It is obviously unrealistic to buy the best small airport.

And to become a senior administrator of the Mithril Fortress, he needs another 60,000 gold...

Although there are still two days until the deadline for the Mithril Fortress, he can earn a lot of money by selling rare materials and guild town products in the Ice Crystal World during this time, but all the money earned combined is probably just enough to pay for the cheapest airport and the Mithril Fortress.

"It seems I can only choose the cheapest one, and rebuild a better one when I have money in the future." Shi Feng sighed as he looked at the list.

As long as players have the qualification to build an airport in a town, they can build it however they want, but there is one drawback: airports cannot be rebuilt. For example, if you are not satisfied with a small airport and want to change it to a medium airport, the price you pay later is not the normal price of a medium airport minus the price of the small airport. Instead, it's calculated at the normal price of a medium airport, which means tearing down the small airport and rebuilding a medium airport.

Because of this, even super guilds are reluctant to expand their airports casually after they have money.

"Respected Guardian, as the first chosen one in the Star-Moon Kingdom to build an airport, we have two specially recommended small airports and one medium airport. I wonder if you are interested?" the NPC Senior Steward asked with a smile, looking at Shi Feng who was in deep thought.

"Let me take a look first."

Shi Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this. This kind of recommendation is equivalent to a disguised reward, so naturally he had to take a look.

Then the NPC Senior Steward took out another list.

Although there was only one list, and only three types, it was filled with the entire piece of paper. In addition to the specific introduction, there were also some restrictions.

Type 024 Small Airport, priced at 150,000 gold, has five small docking ports and one medium docking port, equipped with five small Bronze-rank airships and one medium Bronze-rank airship. A down payment of 60,000 gold can be paid, and 200,000 gold must be paid within one month. If this amount cannot be paid, the ownership of the airport will be revoked.

Type 039 Small Airport, priced at 180,000 gold, has six small docking ports and one medium docking port, equipped with six small Bronze-rank airships and one medium Bronze-rank airship. A down payment of 80,000 gold can be paid, and 240,000 gold must be paid within one month. If this amount cannot be paid, the ownership of the airport will be revoked.

Shi Feng couldn't help but be moved by the two types of airports.

Not only could they provide a down payment, but they also had a medium docking port and a medium airship, which was only available in medium airports.

The medium airships docked at medium airports are not just bigger. The most important thing is that NPC merchants can transport large and special goods that small airships cannot transport.

Shi Feng instinctively ignored the medium airport recommended by the NPC, because the price of 500,000 gold alone made him give up.

"Respected Guardian, are you satisfied with the airports above?" the NPC Senior Steward asked slowly, looking at Shi Feng. "If you can't decide for the time being, or if you don't have enough funds, we can reserve these three types of airports for you for three days."

"No need, I'll choose the Type 024 airport." Shi Feng made his choice directly without hesitation.

He couldn't afford a medium airport no matter what. As for the Type 085 airport, although it was good, it only cost 30,000 gold more for an extra small docking port and a small Bronze-rank airship. After all, one more position could bring more revenue, and it would also reduce the waiting time for players.

If he could, he would also want to choose the Type 039 airport, but paying 80,000 gold as a down payment would mean emptying his current funds in an instant, and it would be difficult to gather the 60,000 gold for the Mithril Fortress afterwards, so the only option was the Type 024 airport.

As for paying 200,000 gold within a month, although it is not a small pressure for the rapidly developing Zero Wing Guild, it is not impossible to do.

Moreover, with a medium docking port and a medium airship, the airport could probably earn back a lot of money in a month, not to mention the indirect benefits it would bring to Silverwing Town.

"Respected Guardian, the total price of the Type 024 you have chosen is 150,000 gold. Do you want to pay in full or in installments?" the NPC Senior Steward looked at Shi Feng and asked respectfully.

"Let's pay in installments." Shi Feng then took out 60,000 gold from his bag, which immediately emptied the gold coins in his bag by a lot, leaving only a pitiful 30,000 gold.

"Okay." The NPC Senior Steward took the money, and after confirming that there was no problem, he explained, "The 60,000 gold has been confirmed. Afterwards, we will send someone to Silverwing Town immediately to start construction. The estimated completion time is two natural days. If you need to speed up the process, you can choose to pay an additional 6,000 gold, and the completion time can be advanced by one natural day."

"Normal construction is fine." Shi Feng said.

Airport construction takes a lot of time, which he already knew. That's why he chose to come over to build the airport. If the airport construction was really completed one day earlier, he would be in a bit of a dilemma.

After taking care of the airport, Shi Feng returned directly to the Candlelight Trading Firm in White River City. The original plan to take Cola and Aqua Rose to level up was put aside for the time being. He directly asked the two to form a team of six and go to the neutral map Besrolo Hills not far from the Star-Moon Kingdom to level up.

Besrolo Hills is a level 70 neutral map occupied by the undead. Although the monster level is similar to the Flame Demon Valley, the danger level is far worse than the Flame Demon Valley. Moreover, the undead creatures generally have thin blood. With Cola's equipment, he can completely withstand the undead army inside. As long as the others drink the Holy Light Potion, the player's attack will be converted into light attribute damage, and the damage will be doubled directly, making the speed of killing the undead extremely fast.

In his previous life, many major guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom did this to bring new players.

The only disadvantage is that the undead creatures are generally very poor. Even if you kill a large number of undead in Besrolo Hills, the money you earn is probably not enough to buy Holy Light Potions.

After arranging the leveling issues for Cola and Aqua Rose, Shi Feng also came to the special forging room of the Candlelight Trading Firm and took out the Dark-Gold rank sub-occupation design drawing from the task reward from his bag.

Looking at this blank Dark-Gold rank design drawing, Shi Feng was slightly expectant, and then took out the Hell Chariot design drawing.

The Hell Chariot is not something that can be made by a single profession, but an item composed of many things. The forger only makes a part of it.

The most important thing for the forger to make is the power source and the sturdy shell. As a mid-level chariot, the level of both the power source and the shell alone is only Fine-Gold. If one of them can be modified and upgraded to Dark-Gold, it will be a considerable improvement for the Hell Chariot.

Originally, with his level, it was impossible to improve the power source or the shell of the chariot. Even advanced masters may not be able to do it, but now the system has given him a blank Dark-Gold rank design drawing, which can directly forcibly improve the low-level design drawing, thus becoming his creation, making the impossible possible.

Of course, he had never done this before, nor had he heard of anyone else doing it, so he didn't know if it would be successful, but if it was successful, the Hell Chariot would become even more powerful.

"Improving the shell can strengthen the chariot's defense and durability. Improving combat power is the most important thing right now, so let's choose to improve the power source." Shi Feng looked at the Hell Chariot design drawing placed on the table and thought for a while before choosing to improve the power source.

Then Shi Feng clicked on the Dark-Gold rank blank design drawing and selected the Hell Chariot's power source design drawing.

After selecting the design drawing to be improved, the system also displayed an analysis progress bar, which began to slowly increase and analyze.

"It must succeed!" Shi Feng looked at the slowly increasing analysis progress bar and prayed silently in his heart.
