Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1407 Origin Iron Vein
Hearing Gentle Snow’s reminder, Shi Feng nodded, feeling that it was time to start the auction for private residences and shops in Stone Forest Town.
Although Zero Wing’s Auction House was making money at an astonishing rate, it would still take a lot of time to gather enough funds to build the city and cover the various maintenance costs. Moreover, the Zero Wing branch in the Black Dragon Empire and Unyielding Soul, which held shares in the Apocalypse Empire, both needed a lot of funding now.
Not to mention that the era of mounts had arrived, and the rapid popularization of mounts was a must. However, this was a heavy burden for any guild, but the major guilds had to do it, as the rapid popularization of mounts could greatly increase the leveling speed of guild members.
Fortunately, the Zero Wing Guild had a stable, which saved a lot of money compared to other guilds, but facing so many guild members, the Zero Wing Guild’s funds were still a drop in the bucket.
Shi Feng randomly handed over the auction matters to Gentle Snow to handle, while he returned to White River City to prepare for the work of capturing the Source Iron ore vein.
Although the Zero Wing Guild could now earn a lot of gold coins, the resources of magic crystals were quite scarce, especially since Stone Forest Town had three Magic Towers, and he also had a big consumer of magic crystals here, the Ring of Gospel. The magic crystals earned by the Colosseum were simply not enough, not to mention the even more terrifying consumption of magic crystals when the city was built.
In God’s Domain, major guilds wanted to build as many cities as possible. After all, a city represented huge wealth, not only in terms of gold coin income but also credit point revenue.
However, the establishment of guild cities was not as easy as imagined. To put it bluntly, building a city was easy, but maintaining it was difficult. The reason for this was that guild cities consumed an extraordinarily terrifying amount of magic crystals. Therefore, even first-rate guilds in the previous life could only establish a very limited number of guild cities.
Only those super forces that seized various magic crystal-producing ore veins could easily establish many guild cities. Ordinary large guilds could only barely maintain the consumption of a small city.
Now that the city’s construction was almost complete, he naturally had to prepare early.
White River City, Candlelight Trading Firm.
When Shi Feng came to the gate of the Candlelight Trading Firm again, the Candlelight Trading Firm had undergone considerable changes. A large number of lifestyle players were lined up in front of the gate, including some intermediate and advanced professional lifestyle players, with alchemists being the most numerous in the queue.
"The Candlelight Trading Firm’s assessment is so terrifying that even intermediate alchemists are being eliminated!" A level 10 God’s Domain newbie who came to sign up for the assessment looked at the intermediate alchemist who came out and couldn't help but be surprised.
Although intermediate alchemists were not as valued by major guilds as advanced alchemists, any guild would unhesitatingly agree to their joining, as it was not easy to cultivate an intermediate alchemist.
But the Candlelight Trading Firm eliminated them without hesitation…
"Looking at your level, you must have just entered White River City," said a level 28 beginner alchemist next to him with a smile. "It's nothing to eliminate intermediate alchemists. There were even advanced alchemists eliminated before."
"Don't kid me, those are advanced alchemists…" The level 10 lifestyle newbie opened his mouth wide, revealing an expression that said, "You're lying to me."
"Believe it or not, since the Candlelight Trading Firm came out with new benefits for alchemists, the Candlelight Trading Firm is now a sacred place in the hearts of alchemists. You don't know, just being an alchemist who ranks tenth in alchemy techniques at the Candlelight Trading Firm can use mithril-grade alchemy tools. Probably no guild in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom has this, and that's just tenth place."
"If you can reach fourth place in the rankings, you can use a whole set of mithril tools, and the first place can use a whole set of dark-gold alchemy tools."
"This has made alchemists all over the Star-Moon Kingdom, no, it should be alchemists from several surrounding countries, excited. That's why they are all lining up to sign up. The Candlelight Trading Firm's requirements for alchemists are also rising. You should be glad you're not an alchemist, otherwise, as an apprentice, you probably wouldn't even have a chance to pass the first round of assessment."
The level 28 beginner alchemist was full of longing when he talked about the Candlelight Trading Firm, but he also had a lot of helplessness in his heart.
The benefits of the Candlelight Trading Firm for alchemists were good, but it was not easy to meet the requirements of the Candlelight Trading Firm…
"The reward effect of those alchemy tools is really good." Shi Feng smiled faintly as he listened to the conversation between the two. "It seems I need to find an opportunity to get some more advanced forging and engineering tools back."
Lifestyle players were not very important at the moment, but as the level of mainstream players reached level 50, the demand for lifestyle players would be fully revealed. It could be said that whichever guild mastered the top lifestyle players could dominate the trading market of God’s Domain.
Immediately, Shi Feng quietly walked into the Candlelight Trading Firm and went directly into the special forging room that the Candlelight Trading Firm had been leaving empty. He carefully took out the Titan Magic Equipment Design from the Ice King’s hand from his backpack and began to study it carefully.
The island where the Source Iron ore vein in the Sea of Death was located had a very special geographical location. Originally, Shi Feng was planning to wait until all the main force members of the Zero Wing Guild had transferred to Tier 2 before preparing to attack.
But now it was no longer necessary.
The island where the Source Iron ore vein was located was called Garna Island. Not only were there extremely powerful monsters guarding it, but the environment of the island was also very special. It was corroded by the power of darkness everywhere, and the magic density of the entire island was shockingly low. Because of this, no guild had ever attacked Garna Island.
But no one would have thought that this Garna Island, with its extremely low magic density, possessed the Source Iron ore vein that major guilds dreamed of.
When players were in an environment with extremely low magic density, the impact on the players was very significant. This was like players being in a place with high magic density, where combat power fluctuated greatly. However, low-density magic had an even greater impact on players. In an environment like Garna Island, it was good if they could exert two or three-tenths of their combat power.
The monsters on the island were already terrifyingly strong, and the players only had two or three-tenths of their combat power. The chances of success for a Tier 2 expert team were not great, let alone a Tier 1 expert team, which had no chance at all.
However, the Titan Magic Equipment could overcome this point of magic density, making the impossible possible.
"Advanced forging design drawings are really complex. No wonder even master-level players in the previous life didn’t dare to easily try to manufacture them." Shi Feng took a deep breath after carefully reading the contents of the design drawings.
The Titan Magic Equipment was originally an advanced forging design drawing, and the success rate of items produced by advanced design drawings was generally very low. The Titan Magic Equipment was also a design drawing with a higher difficulty level among advanced design drawings, so the success rate was conceivable.
Shi Feng roughly estimated that even if he, an advanced forger, were to manufacture it, the success rate would only be about 10%. In reality, even if he made twenty of them, he might not be able to succeed in making one.
Fortunately, he had the Epic-ranked necklace, Icarus’s Heart, which could forcefully upgrade him to a forging master.
Immediately, Shi Feng used Divine Grace Blessing and sacrificed 500 points of life force at once, extending the duration of Divine Grace Blessing from one hour to two hours.
After obtaining Divine Grace Blessing, Shi Feng did not dare to waste time. He took out the materials and forging books that he had prepared in advance and began to carefully manufacture them.
On the other side, the Zero Wing Auction in Stone Forest Town officially announced its opening.
