Chapter 1687 So Fast!

"So fast!"

Yu Luo Chenfu looked at the massive mountain range stretching out before him and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

He could hardly believe it was real.

Although he had felt the strong wind on his cheeks while sitting on the Swift Dragon Speedboat, knowing it was much faster than their fishing boat, he hadn't expected it to be this fast.

In God's Domain, the goblins' favorite saying was that time is money.

This phrase was perfect for adventure teams like them who made their living at sea.

Ordinary players might not understand, but as veteran players who often ventured out to sea, they knew very well the terrifying impact of saving time.

Many islands at sea had very rich resources, surpassing even the high-resource maps on land.

But there was a very serious drawback: it took too much time to travel.

On average, players could only play for about 30 hours a day in God's Domain, and the rest of the time was spent working, studying, and so on in the real world.

Guild players could go to high-resource areas on land to level up, spending perhaps five or six hours traveling, then leveling up for over twenty hours in the high-resource area, before returning to the city to rest and relax. This was something that ordinary players envied because the leveling speed in high-resource areas was much faster than in ordinary areas, making it difficult for ordinary players in God's Domain to catch up with guild players in terms of level.

Even this level of efficiency couldn't compare to spending twenty hours at sea to find a high-resource island, only to level up and fight monsters for ten hours before returning to the city to rest and relax.

This showed how efficient leveling up on a high-resource island was.

On high-resource islands, players were also more likely to obtain various rare materials and good weapons and equipment.

If the travel time at sea could be reduced to just five or six hours, and then over twenty hours were spent leveling up on a high-resource island, then the leveling speed would be two to three times faster than leveling up in a high-resource area on land.

Two to three times faster than guild members leveling up!

Yu Luo Chenfu was thrilled just thinking about it. Beating those leveling maniacs on the Apocalypse Empire's level排行榜 would be a piece of cake.

But he was just thinking about it for now. He knew without a doubt that something like the Swift Dragon Speedboat was too rare for him to ever get his hands on.

"Just who is he?" Yu Luo Chenfu couldn't help but turn his gaze to Shi Feng, swallowing hard.

Even if he were dumber, he could tell that they had encountered a real expert, or how else would he have such an amazing speedboat?

It wasn't just Yu Luo Chenfu who realized this; the other members of the team had also realized it.

"So this is the legendary expert!"

"I always thought those experts were aloof and didn't care about worldly affairs, but I didn't expect an expert to be so approachable. I wonder if he has a girlfriend. I even want to introduce my sister to him."

"What? You have a sister? How come I never knew? You're too unkind! We've known each other for so long, and you never introduced her to a handsome guy like me!"

"Get lost! Even if she's not my biological sister, I can't push her into a fire pit."

"Alright, everyone be serious. The expert is coming over."

Yu Luo Chenfu heard the hushed discussions of the team members and quickly interrupted them. Only then did they realize that Shi Feng had already walked over.

When they looked at Shi Feng now, they suddenly felt that his figure seemed much larger than before, and a sense of oppression faintly emanated from him.

"We've arrived. It was a pleasure chatting with you all along the way, but I have things to do, so let's part ways here," Shi Feng said with a smile, seeing the sudden restraint of the group.

They hadn't encountered any danger along the way. Even when sea monsters attacked, the Swift Dragon Speedboat was fast enough to easily shake them off.

So, their five-hour journey was mainly spent chatting and laughing.

From their conversations, he had learned a lot about the Apocalypse Empire.

What interested him most was the Apocalypse Empire's maritime situation.

In his previous life, he had mainly operated near the Star-Moon Kingdom and didn't know much about the Apocalypse Empire, especially the current situation.

The Apocalypse Empire was a coastal nation, unlike the Star-Moon Kingdom, which had a somewhat limited development, mainly focusing on land-based development, which was quite disadvantageous in the mid-to-late stages of God's Domain.

Because in the mid-to-late stages, competition on land would become increasingly fierce, mainly because there were fewer and fewer high-level maps, and many high-level maps were located on the borderlines between countries, forcing guilds to compete for resources.

With so many guilds competing for a limited number of maps, the resources that each guild could get were limited.

But the sea was different. There were many islands, so there was more than enough to go around. Coastal nations had started developing their maritime power early on, and they could easily possess a large amount of resources and continuously improve their guild strength. How could guilds that were only now realizing this compete with them?

So, developing maritime power early was very important.

However, developing maritime power wasn't something that could be easily done. It required a large amount of manpower and resources, as well as coastal towns.

The Apocalypse Empire had a total of twenty-six coastal towns, three of which were cities and the remaining twenty-three were towns. Wanghai Town was just the most inconspicuous one.

Currently, the three cities were occupied by the three major powers, leaving no room for other guilds to get involved. However, the good thing was that these three major powers didn't pay much attention to the remaining twenty-three towns. Although other large guilds were also vying for control of these towns, it wasn't impossible to get a piece of the pie.

Listening to Yu Luo Chenfu and the others, Shi Feng learned that there were still six towns among the twenty-three towns that were not yet controlled. Shi Feng decided to have his affiliated guild, Undying Light, develop in these towns.

In any case, Undying Light's Dark Sin had not yet officially decided where to develop, so it might as well be a vanguard for Zero Wing.

If the Zero Wing Guild rashly entered these towns, it would definitely attract the attention of the three major powers. At that time, Zero Wing Guild might be strangled in the cradle before it even rose, but Undying Light wouldn't. As a small guild that wasn't even a third-rate guild, whether it entered these towns or not was dispensable to both the local big guilds and the three major powers.

With the current foundation of the Zero Wing Guild, it could definitely allow Undying Light to find an opportunity.

If Undying Light could establish itself in the coastal towns, it would have a huge impact on the future development of the Zero Wing Guild.

Afterwards, Shi Feng added Yu Luo Chenfu and the others as friends, willing to purchase rare materials at high prices, and even exchange them for high-level weapons and equipment, which Yu Luo Chenfu was very grateful for. For free players like them, the most difficult thing to obtain was high-level weapons and equipment.

With these high-level weapons and equipment, it would be much easier for their adventure team to develop in the future.

After parting ways with Yu Luo Chenfu, Shi Feng directly found a hidden place and used the Seven Luminaries Ring's Space Move, instantly arriving in front of a small wooden house by a small lake.

This unremarkable small wooden house was the Golden Sand Exchange, the most famous place in the ancient god's遗迹 in the core area of the Golden Sand Islands.

In his previous life, this place was crowded with people. Almost all the major guilds of the Apocalypse Empire would send people here to wait all day long, just to be able to grab the rare items in the exchange center as soon as possible.

But now, no one could compete with Shi Feng for these rare items. He could exchange them at will.

Just as Shi Feng held the doorknob with one hand, preparing to push open the small wooden door, a system notification sounded in his ear.

System: Congratulations to the player for being the first to discover the Golden Sand Exchange. Is the player willing to pay 10,000 Magic Crystals to become a member of the exchange?
