Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 758 City Building
Shi Feng stepped out of the premium carriage, attracting sidelong glances from players on the street, as eye-catching as someone driving a luxury car in the city.
"Wow, that guy's got money!"
"Looks like he's from Zero Wing Guild. No wonder he's so rich!"
"Of course. Zero Wing Guild has so many high-level missions every day. Even ordinary members have a chance to grab one. Unlike our guild, we only have a few high-level missions each day, and they're snatched up by the guild executives. It's hard for even elite players to get one. Although I'm an elite member of the guild, I've only accepted two high-level guild missions so far. It was so great! I made more than ten silver coins in just one day."
"Indeed, a friend of a friend is an elite player in Zero Wing. I heard that they can now get a high-level guild mission every two or three days, and ordinary players can get one every five or six days. They're so lucky."
...
At this time, everyone spoke of Zero Wing Guild with envy.
An ordinary carriage cost one silver coin, but a premium carriage cost three silver coins. For them, taking an ordinary carriage was already a luxury, and taking a premium carriage was simply extravagant.
They would rather run there themselves and save that little bit of time.
Shi Feng couldn't help but shake his head, not expecting to be envied for this.
While mainstream players were still struggling to earn a single silver coin, a gold coin was useless to Shi Feng. Compared to the silver coins spent, he was more concerned about time now.
The towering City Hall was now bustling with activity.
Now that God's Domain had developed to this point, the major guilds had accumulated a certain amount of reputation and gold coins, so more and more people were coming to buy city land.
However, only ordinary land was being bought. Those central and golden plots were not so easy to acquire.
"Sir, how may I help you?" A beautiful staff member asked as she approached.
"I want to go through the procedures for building a city," Shi Feng said.
"Please follow me." The beautiful NPC smiled and led Shi Feng to the VIP reception room.
Whether establishing a town or a city, players needed to complete the relevant procedures in an NPC city.
"Does sir have a City Creation Order?" the beautiful NPC asked.
Shi Feng directly took out the Star-Moon Kingdom City Creation Order given to him by Xia Lian, a single piece of parchment worth over a million gold.
"Very well, sir. May I ask where you plan to build your city, so that I can give you an estimate?" The beautiful NPC took out a magic scroll and spread it directly on the table.
The image displayed in this magic scroll was a map of the Star-Moon Kingdom, more detailed than the system map in the player's hands.
"Witch Hill." Shi Feng pointed to a spot in the southwest of the Star-Moon Kingdom, and the map of Witch Hill immediately appeared.
Witch Hill was a large map for levels 50 to 70. Legend had it that a great witch lived there, so the hills were named Witch Hill. Even after hundreds of years, the territory now belonged to the Star-Moon Kingdom, but the name had not changed.
Witch Hill was a very ordinary leveling map and not a high-resource area.
However, Witch Hill was fought over by the major guilds in the previous life.
There were two reasons for this.
The first was convenient transportation, because near Witch Hill, there were two high-resource maps, the Shadow Forest for levels 80 to 100 and the Sorrowful Ruins for levels 60 to 75.
These two places were a source of rare herbs and a hell-ranked regional dungeon.
The second was the secret of Witch Hill itself.
The secret of Witch Hill was not discovered until the mainstream players reached level 100. Suddenly, all the major guilds wanted to build cities here. Dozens of guilds took action, including the Shadow Guild led by Shi Feng at the time.
However, it was eventually occupied by the powerful Starlight Alliance and Devouring Serpent, and other guilds had no chance at all.
Legend had it that Witch Hill was where a great witch lived, a rumor that had been around for hundreds of years.
None of these rumors were wrong. Even now, that witch still lived on Witch Hill.
That witch was also one of the legendary figures in God's Domain, the Jealous Witch.
In the past, Shi Feng's eyesight was limited, and he thought that the Jealous Witch should be a Tier 5 peak. Now, after thinking about it carefully, Shi Feng was sure that this Jealous Witch was not a Tier 5 peak, but a demigod. Otherwise, how could she have lived so long and not died?
And this Jealous Witch was the guardian of the gate to another world.
This gate to another world could lead to another world, or to another continent of God's Domain, just like the World's Pinnacle that Shi Feng had visited before. So far, no other player had been there except Shi Feng. The gate to another world also led to similar places.
There, players could not only level up faster, but also get equipment much more easily.
The only condition to enter was that players had to reach Tier 2.
In the God's Domain continent, it was difficult to obtain good quality equipment above level 50. It was much easier to go to another world to farm good equipment, so the major guilds frantically seized Witch Hill, because a large number of players would choose to go to another world to level up and farm monsters in order to obtain good equipment, so a considerable number of players gathered in Witch Hill.
Even after ten years, the number of players gathered in Witch Hill was still considerable.
However, now that no one knew this secret, Shi Feng would naturally strike first.
Not to mention that level 50 was not far away for Zero Wing, the hell-ranked regional dungeon alone was a very good choice.
"Sir, the quote for the area you have chosen has been calculated." At this time, the beautiful NPC smiled and handed Shi Feng a list. "Our preliminary estimate is a construction fee of 90,000 gold. If attacked, we will also charge additional fees based on the number and level of monsters killed. In addition, there is a registration fee of 30,000 gold. According to the current city level, a management fee of 30,000 gold will need to be paid every month in the future. How many guards do you want to station?"
Although Shi Feng was mentally prepared, he had only come to ask about the price.
But after hearing it, his heart skipped a beat.
Gold coins were not gold coins, they were paper.
Compared to building a town, building a city directly was more than ten times more expensive. If there were not enough players after the city was built, 30,000 gold would have to be paid every month, which was equivalent to an expense of 1,000 gold every day.
And how many guilds in the entire God's Domain could earn 1,000 gold a day?
Shi Feng had already used all his funds to purchase Frost Grenades and Magic Pulse Cannons. Even if he hadn't bought these things, Shi Feng wouldn't have enough to pay the small change.
"Sir, do you want to establish a city now?" the beautiful NPC asked with a smile.
"No, I need to go back and consider it first." Shi Feng glared at the beautiful NPC.
The initial payment alone was 120,000 gold. If he encountered monster attacks during the construction period, he would have to pay extra money. Shi Feng was an experienced person and knew the tricks involved. When he built the wilderness town at that time, even if he sent the guild to fight against the monster attacks with all their strength, it would cost thousands of gold. If he built a city in the wilderness, it would probably cost tens of thousands of gold.
"Alright, but I have to remind you that sir, you only have one month to use the City Creation Order. If you don't use it within one month, this City Creation Order will be invalid." After the beautiful NPC finished speaking, she left the reception room.
