Chapter 1444

Shilin Town, Arena.

The arena, nearly a hundred meters tall, stood in Shilin Town, the maximum height achievable by an intermediate town, allowing players standing in any corner of Shilin Town to see it clearly.

Now, this place had become the center of Shilin Town, and almost every player who came to Shilin Town would enter the arena to take a look.

Shi Feng, wearing a black cloak, had just entered the central hall of the arena when he saw three or four hundred players sitting in the waiting area, queuing up to enter the combat rooms. At the payment windows, the long queues were several times the number of people in the waiting area.

Although not as good as its peak, the arena's daily net income was still over a thousand gold, enough to make even first-rate guilds drool.

Of course, first-rate guilds now earned far more than a thousand gold coins per day, but the larger the guild and the more members it had, the more it spent. Especially with guild towns, the investment in developing the town was a bottomless pit. Guilds invested most of their earnings in town development, and very little money was left as working capital each day.

This was because major first-rate guilds had backgrounds and wealthy enterprises behind them, constantly transferring large amounts of gold coins. Otherwise, they would not be able to support the early investment in the town.

The Shilin Town arena, however, could generate a net profit of over a thousand gold coins every day after deducting various expenses for developing the town. This was the envy of all major guilds, so now the guilds' towns were all starting to build arenas.

It was because of the income from the arena, Candlelight Firm, and teleportation hall that Zero Wing Guild dared to develop on multiple fronts, investing in both the Zero Wing branch in the Black Dragon Empire and the controlling stake in Undying Light.

However, once the city was built, another huge bottomless pit needed to be filled. If preparations were not made early, Zero Wing Guild's funds would soon be strained again, although they were already strained.

After observing for a while, Shi Feng went upstairs alone.

"Guild Leader, you've arrived." As soon as Shi Feng entered the top floor hall, a beautiful woman in a light blue dress came over to greet him.

This beautiful woman was Judy, one of the ten high-level management NPCs Shi Feng had hired, with an intelligence of 76 points, higher than that of ordinary Tier 3 mage NPCs. She was definitely a rare and sought-after management NPC in God's Domain.

It was because of such high-level NPCs that the huge arena could be managed in an orderly manner. If players were to do it, they would probably be exhausted.

"Help me get the room layout of the seventh floor. I want to reorganize the room distribution." Shi Feng nodded. Although he was wearing a black cloak, the arena's ten high-level NPCs had signed a contract with him, and they could recognize him even when he was wearing a black cloak.

"Yes." Judy bowed and left.

The efficiency of NPCs was amazing. In just a short while, Shi Feng, who was waiting in the VIP reception room, obtained the configuration map of the entire seventh floor of the arena.

On the seventh floor of the arena, part was a competition venue, and part was private rest rooms. However, after Shilin Town was promoted to an intermediate town, the arena was much larger than before, and there were many vacant private rest rooms. Now they could be used to convert into advanced combat rooms.

The original range covered by the Evil God Stone Tablet was only 50 yards in radius, but after several upgrades, the current coverage radius was 100 yards. As long as the seventh floor was renovated, several combat rooms could be created that were covered by the Evil God Stone Tablet, allowing players to fight against illusory creatures in the combat rooms to improve themselves.

"Guild Leader, if you want to renovate the seventh floor in this way, not only will the project be too large, but it will also waste a lot of space. It will also cost 1,000 gold coins for the renovation. Are you sure you want to do this?" Judy looked at the reorganized configuration map and couldn't help but remind him.

In God's Domain, minor changes to large buildings would not incur any fees, but major changes would require the payment of considerable renovation fees.

"It's okay, just have someone do it." Shi Feng didn't care about the 1,000 gold renovation fee and directly asked Judy to execute it.

Although a lot of space was wasted in order to create advanced combat rooms, it was worth the money to have nine enclosed combat rooms covered by the Evil God Stone Tablet.

In this way, players who came to the nine combat rooms on the seventh floor in the future could all enjoy the fun of fighting against illusory creatures.

Previously, by observing the first floor hall, Shi Feng had discovered that most of the expert players were level 41 or 42, with a set of Mithril or Fine-Gold weapons and equipment. There were few expert players wearing level 40 Dark-Gold weapons and equipment.

This was because the arena had limited attraction for that level of expert, and those experts happened to have a lot of high-level resources in their hands.

Now, the illusory space of the Evil God Stone Tablet was a good opportunity.

Although Shi Feng had thought about using it only to improve guild members, a guild needed not only experts, but also a lot of resources to support its development.

If he could attract experts of that level and get the resources in their hands, it would definitely take the guild's development to the next level.

Before long, the entire Shilin Town was in an uproar.

"Hmm, the seventh floor of the arena is not allowed to enter. What's going on?"

"I don't know. I heard that several experts resting in the arena were suddenly notified to temporarily leave their private rest rooms, saying that the seventh floor of the arena was being renovated."

"Renovating the seventh floor? Are they going to build more combat rooms?"

"That's possible. It didn't used to be necessary to queue up to become a member of the arena, but now even members have to queue up for a while to get an empty combat room. If Zero Wing can build more combat rooms for members, we'll have to queue up less in the future."

The players waiting in the arena were discussing the sudden changes in the arena.

While everyone was quietly discussing, the seventh floor of the arena was also renovated. Renovation was faster than construction, and it was all done by NPCs. From paying the money to finishing, it only took more than ten minutes. The entire seventh floor was brand new, and many curious players ran up to the seventh floor to check it out.

They didn't know until they saw it, and they were shocked when they did.

The renovation of the seventh floor was indeed to build combat rooms, but the number of them stunned everyone.

There were only nine rooms…

The space occupied by these nine combat rooms was equivalent to more than twenty rooms on the sixth floor. It was extremely luxurious.

In addition, there was a new option for combat rooms in the first floor hall, which was advanced combat rooms, and only arena members could rent them. As for the price, it was outrageously high.

Renting an advanced combat room cost two magic crystals for thirty minutes!

Just renting an arena combat room for one hour cost four silver coins, which was enough to make everyone feel heartache. Now it cost two magic crystals for half an hour. The current market price of magic crystals was 25 silver coins each, and it was not easy to collect them. Usually, you had to pay more than 26 silver coins to actually buy them.

"Is Zero Wing Guild trying to rob us?"

"Damn, that's too black! No one would rent such a combat room!"

"Zero Wing Guild is crazy! If I had that money, I would rather go to the Trial Tower of the Gods and Demons Arena!"
