Chapter 2681 Inflated Zero Wing?
"Renovate," Shi Feng said directly upon seeing the prompt.
Currently, Zero Wing was short on funds, but it still had nearly 100,000 Gold Coins and 400,000 Magic Crystals in reserve, specifically for emergencies.
Although renovating the Transportation Trade Firm wouldn't add more functions, it had one significant effect: it allowed more NPC merchants to reside within it.
The more NPC merchants there were, the more quests they would give to players and the more diverse the goods they would sell. It could be said that these things alone were enough to entice many players to stay and develop in the city.
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, all the Gold Coins and Magic Crystals he had taken from the Guild Warehouse instantly decreased by 40,000 Gold and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
Immediately afterward, the Transportation Trade Firm located at the edge of the city transformed into a mass of black mist, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just five or six seconds, it became a cloud the size of four stadiums. After the black mist receded, a five-story Transportation Trade Firm appeared before their eyes.
Just as Shi Feng was quietly examining the Transportation Trade Firm, Youlan suddenly contacted him.
"Guild Leader, the entire Silverwing City has been fully defended, and the entrance fee has been adjusted to ten Silver Coins. We're ready to open Silverwing City to the public at any time," Youlan said excitedly in the video.
The news of Silverwing Town's promotion to Silverwing City had already spread, causing players from the surrounding kingdoms to want to come and take a look. Now that the promotion was complete, the entire city was surrounded by players, with a rough estimate of over two million people.
At this rate, they could earn so much from the entrance fees alone that their hands would cramp.
Previously, Silverwing Town couldn't charge entrance fees. Its main economic income came from shop rentals and the items sold by Candlelight Trading Firm. Now, with the income from entrance fees, they could definitely solve Zero Wing's current financial problems.
"Good, open it," Shi Feng said with a smile, nodding.
With Shi Feng's agreement, Youlan also deactivated the magic array that sealed off the city in the City Lord's Mansion.
Instantly, the magic barrier that enveloped Silverwing City shattered and disappeared, revealing the entire appearance of Silverwing City to everyone.
The sudden opening of Silverwing City stunned everyone waiting outside the city walls.
"Damn! How magnificent! This can rival Stone Forest City!"
"It's not just the exterior. I feel that the concentration of magic power emanating from Silverwing City is not much different from Stone Forest City."
"I just don't know how much the entrance fee is. If it's too expensive, it will be difficult for ordinary players like us to develop in Silverwing City."
…
Apart from astonishment and sighs, the people outside secretly discussed the situation of Silverwing City, full of curiosity.
If it were just another guild city, that would be fine, but Silverwing City was the only guild city located in the Sacred Beast monster activity area. Silverwing Town had previously blocked an army of over four million Sacred Beasts. Now that it had been promoted to a guild city, the Sacred Beast army would probably be helpless against Silverwing City, making it the safest place in the Sacred Beast monster activity area.
For most players, whether ordinary or expert, safety was the top priority.
In this day and age, dying once could make many players feel devastated. Not only was it difficult to level up beyond level 100, but excellent equipment above level 100 was also very precious. Losing a piece could break their hearts, so safety was the most important thing.
Silverwing City could provide safety, even more so than NPC cities. After all, many people had witnessed the power of Tier 4 NPCs. Tier 3 players were like ants in front of a Tier 4 NPC. Trying to cause trouble in the city was simply courting death. In addition, the experience gained from killing Sacred Beasts was far greater than outside, and there were also kingdom quests issued by various kingdoms. There were still many players who wanted to live in the Sacred Beast monster activity area.
When the players lined up at the gate of Silverwing City, they were all stunned.
"Ten Silver Coins for the entrance fee? Is Zero Wing crazy?" The black-robed female summoner looked at the fees demanded by the Tier 3 NPC direct guards, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.
Currently, two Silver Coins was the standard entrance fee for neutral map guild cities. Although Silverwing City was the only guild city in the Sacred Beast monster activity area, charging a few more Silver Coins was normal, but what was with the ten Silver Coins?
That was five times the entrance price of a neutral map guild city!
The level of the map where Silverwing City was located was not high. Even if it had changed due to the Sacred Beasts, it was only level 80 or so. It was not a neutral map above level 100. The only trouble was those Sacred Beasts.
Players still needed to go to the distant level 100 maps to level up. Silverwing City was just a transit point and a place to rest, not a place that players had to enter.
At this time, not only was the black-robed female summoner of Frost Heaven's Sword stunned, but the members of the major forces who wanted to enter Silverwing City were also dumbfounded.
At the price of ten Silver Coins, Zero Wing was simply crazy about money.
The number of players willing to come to the Sacred Beast monster activity area was not large to begin with. With this money, it would be better to go to other level 100 maps to develop. After all, the Sacred Beast monster activity area was only faster in leveling up, but it was far inferior in terms of obtaining Gold Coins and materials, and the danger was several times higher than other non-Sacred Beast monster activity areas.
In addition to the Sacred Beast problem, the price of ten Silver Coins was fine for Tier 3 experts, but for Tier 2 players, it was a huge burden.
At that time, the players who would be willing to develop in Silverwing City would probably be few except for Tier 3 experts.
And how many Tier 3 experts were there in the entire God's Domain?
"Damn! Do they really think we are fools?"
"Zero Wing is really inflated. They charge ten Silver Coins for an entrance fee. Do they really think we have to develop in the Orc Empire?"
A large number of Tier 2 players complained about the entrance fee of Silverwing City, and even felt angry. When it was Silverwing Town, they didn't charge a single cent, so they barely developed in the dangerous Sacred Beast monster activity area. Now, charging ten Silver Coins was simply trying to drive them away.
Outside the gate of Silverwing City, an adventurer team of over a thousand people stood quietly on the side, the atmosphere of the entire team was solemn.
"Vice Captain Ningfeng, the price of ten Silver Coins is too high. After various expenses, the Tier 2 brothers in the team are probably giving all their daily earnings to Zero Wing. So many people mean we should go to other places to develop. We really can't stay in this Silverwing City," said a level 107 Tier 2 Berserker.
"I really didn't expect Zero Wing to be so ruthless in collecting money. If I had known, we should have gone to other kingdoms like other adventurer teams, or developed in the Dark Night Empire," complained a level 113 Tier 3 male Elementalist on the side.
"Ningfeng, this price is indeed a bit high. Even if we can support it now, the team's funds will not be able to withstand it for a long time. Why don't we go to the Dark Night Empire to take a look? I heard that there are guild cities above level 100 there now, and the fees are only ten Silver Coins," Feng Niu Yi Shi also suggested.
Many members of the Blood Alliance's Vow adventurer team nodded in agreement. Compared to being harvested ten Silver Coins by Zero Wing, it would be better to go directly to the level 100 neutral map to develop. The income there was far higher than in the Orc Empire.
"Okay, but Silverwing City has just been promoted, and there are always some tasks that need to be handed over inside." Ningfeng also sighed and then said, "Feng Niu, a few of you come in with me, the others wait outside."
The Blood Alliance's Vow members all expressed their approval.
At this time, not only the Blood Alliance's Vow, but other adventurer teams also made the same choice, letting a few Tier 3 experts enter the city to hand over the tasks, and then planning to leave the Orc Empire, while some were planning to go to other guild towns to develop.
Immediately, only a small number of Tier 3 experts were seen queuing up at the gate of Silverwing City, entering Silverwing City one by one.
