Chapter 1747 Magic Tower Effect

After Shi Feng clicked on the translucent light blue screen that appeared, 1,500 Magic Crystals instantly disappeared from his bag.

Immediately, the enormous Magic Crystals radiated a light blue glow that shot straight into the sky, spreading out at a height of three to four hundred yards, like an open umbrella, enveloping the entire Stone Forest Town.

The spectacular sight stunned all the players in the town.

"What on earth is that?"

"Could it be a magic barrier set up by Zero Wing?"

...

Everyone couldn't help but discuss the Magic Tower. However, in the short time they were talking, some sensitive expert players suddenly noticed that the magic density around them was slowly increasing.

"Did you feel that? The magic density in the town seems to be higher."

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I really feel much clearer-headed."

"Wait a minute, look at the status bar. There seems to be an additional buff!"

As a few experts exclaimed, more and more players in the town noticed the changes. When someone mentioned the buff in the status bar, they all quickly opened the system bar to check.

Magic Infusion: Player's stamina and mental recovery greatly increased, maintaining a clear mind at all times.

"This status is amazing!"

"Zero Wing is mighty!"

"Hahaha, this is awesome! Now resting in the inn is comparable to resting in a hotel!"

"What an idiot! I just came out of the hotel. Resting in the hotel is even better. Not only is the recovery speed faster, but as long as you rest for five hours, you get a 30% experience bonus within two hours of leaving the Magic Infusion state! If you rest for ten hours, you can get a 30% experience bonus for four hours!"

"No way, is it that good?"

"Just try it and you'll know. I have to work during the day, so I definitely have to rest in the hotel for more than ten hours. Now I don't have to worry about falling too far behind in leveling speed!"

...

After the players in the town realized the effect of the Magic Tower, many of them were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, cheering on the streets as if they had won the lottery.

Most of the players in the town were free players, unlike guild players who had guild residences and could enjoy the benefit of storing double experience while resting. Therefore, free players were generally not as high-level as guild players. However, many free players did not like being bound by the rules of guilds, preferring to level up slower but enjoy the freedom and excitement of adventure in God's Domain.

Now that they could enjoy the experience bonus after resting in the inn, they could enjoy freedom and increase their leveling speed at the same time. How could they not be excited?

Suddenly, the already lively inn became overcrowded, with everyone rushing to the nearest inn to book a room. Originally, everyone was cursing the high prices of the inns in Stone Forest Town, which were two or three times higher than the inns outside, and only transactions using Magic Crystals were at a normal price. Now, everyone felt like they had made a great deal, and even renting a room at two or three times the price was worth it.

After all, resting for ten hours would increase leveling speed by 30% for four hours, so spending some money was nothing.

"Damn, this is a rip-off! Why is the price still three times the normal inn price when I use Magic Crystals to pay?"

"If you can't afford it, hurry up and leave. Can't you see there's a huge line of people behind you wanting to rent rooms?"

"Hahaha, good thing I was smart and rented it for ten days early on. I've made a fortune this time."

All the inns in Stone Forest Town were now crowded with free players renting rooms. Although they were unhappy with Zero Wing's price increase, the 30% experience bonus for four hours was too important, so they had to grit their teeth and rent it. Moreover, each player would rent it for at least ten days, otherwise, if more players rented inns, they might not be able to rent them later.

...

"Guild Leader, this Magic Tower is too amazing! In just a short while, all the inn rooms in Stone Forest Town have been rented out. Now many players are complaining that there are too few inns in Stone Forest Town and are strongly demanding an increase in the number of inns," Hei Zi reported with a smile.

Originally, the normal price for renting an inn room in Stone Forest Town for one day was 50 Copper Coins, but now it was uniformly raised to 1 Silver 50 Copper Coins. This was still when paying with Magic Crystals. If converted to normal currency, it would be 3 Silver Coins per day, which ordinary players would find difficult to afford. After all, there were many other expenses to pay every day, especially repair costs, which only elite players with good strength could barely afford.

However, even so, the many inns built in Stone Forest Town were not enough.

"Let's put the inn matter aside for now and prioritize building a large arena. That's the real money-making thing," Shi Feng shook his head and said.

Seemingly, inns make money, but in reality, they don't make much.

Inns take up too much space in the town, and the income per person per day is only 1 Silver 50 Copper Coins. This still has to deduct the inn's management fees and NPC hiring fees, etc., which is only a profit of 1 Silver 20 Copper Coins. The entire town's inns can currently accommodate 20,000 players, which means a daily profit of 240 Gold Coins. This may be a large sum for ordinary large guilds, but it is nothing for Zero Wing.

Moreover, 20,000 players are less than one-tenth of the total population of Stone Forest Town, and yet the inns have already occupied most of the town's land.

The reason why Shi Feng built so many cheap inns was actually for only one purpose: to exchange for Magic Crystals.

But with the Magic Tower, there is another building that makes money even faster: the arena.

A place where players can PK with each other.

Now, because of the Magic Tower, the magic density of the entire town has increased, which is of great help to players' combat, just like the Trial Tower in the God's Domain Arena.

In the environment of Stone Forest Town, although it is not as good as the Trial Tower with various tests, PK in a very clear-headed state is very helpful for improving players' strength.

In player-built towns, PK between players is prohibited, so the only place where players can PK is the arena.

At that time, the 200,000 to 300,000 players in Stone Forest Town will definitely go to the arena to play and improve through mutual PK. The money earned will far exceed the income brought by the mere 20,000 players in the inns.

"I'll go now!" Hei Zi's eyes lit up after hearing Shi Feng's explanation.

At the same time, the matter of Stone Forest Town gradually spread, directly throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom, making the free players who originally wanted to level up in the Graveyard of the Dead tempted.

The 30% experience bonus for four hours is no joke. If used properly, even if they can't catch up with the guild players, they won't fall too far behind. For the free elite players and free expert players among them, it is an unmissable leveling channel.

...

Star-Moon City, Blackwater Residence.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Zero Wing to have such a move!" Abandoned Wave's face was very ugly after receiving the news. The longer the time dragged on, the more troublesome it would be to deal with Zero Wing. At the same time, he was also extremely jealous, and his desire to obtain Stone Forest Town became even more urgent. He then instructed his subordinates beside him, "Immediately notify Lone Grave, change the original plan, and have everyone take action in advance!"
