Chapter 1 Building a Town on Neutral Territory?

"Build a town on neutral territory?" Beast Emperor was momentarily stunned by the system announcement.

He was no stranger to the concept of building towns, as many guilds had previously established towns within kingdoms and empires.

However, building a town in neutral territory was a different story altogether.

Neutral territories lacked teleportation points, forcing players to rely on their own feet to travel. If a guild established a town there, guild members could use guild teleportation scrolls to travel directly, saving a significant amount of time.

The best part about building a town was the choice of location.

Players could choose the geographical location of the town they built, while occupied towns were in fixed locations.

Neutral territories were incredibly rich in resources. Currently, major forces were only able to occupy fixed towns within these territories, and the benefits they reaped were immense. Being able to occupy a strategically advantageous location was a dream for all major forces.

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Divine Relics within the Orc Empire.

The members of the various forces and adventurer teams preparing to compete for access to the Ancient Divine Relics all looked towards the southwest of the relics, their eyes filled with indescribable amazement.

A town stood on the highlands in the southwest of the Ancient Divine Relics.

Combined with the previous system announcement, even an idiot could tell that this newly emerged town was built by the Zero Wing Guild.

"Am I dreaming?"

"How is this possible?"

"Zero Wing Guild is too awesome! How can they even do something like this?"

Everyone looked at the fully formed town. The various guilds were filled with envy and jealousy, while the adventurers’ eyes shone with excitement.

A town so close to the Ancient Divine Relics was like a dream.

The Ancient Divine Relics were a major resource that the various forces were vying for, even at the cost of significant manpower and resources. The Zero Wing Guild's town, located right next to it, brought too many conveniences for competing for the relics.

First, Zero Wing Guild could easily mobilize a large number of guild members directly to the Ancient Divine Relics without spending a lot of time organizing people to run all the way over.

Second, there was the issue of team rest and recovery. The Ancient Divine Relics were, after all, not a town. Even if there were inns to rest in, the number of inns was very limited, and the prices were ridiculously high. Even large guilds couldn't afford it with a large number of people. If they stayed outside, their mental and physical recovery would be very slow, and they wouldn't be able to quickly level up by killing the surrounding monsters.

But it was different if there was a town. It could accommodate a large number of players to rest. More importantly, there was the issue of weapon repairs. Although there were restaurants and inns in the Ancient Divine Relics, there were no blacksmith shops, so no weapon or equipment repairs could be carried out. After a certain amount of time, players had to return to town for repairs.

With these two advantages, Zero Wing Guild could be invincible and freely compete for the resources in the Ancient Divine Relics.

Such a thing made the various guilds want to go crazy, while the adventurers were very happy.

Adventurer teams were originally far inferior to guilds in the competition for access to the Ancient Divine Relics, but with the town, things became much more convenient. At least they had a place to rest for a long time. Like the members of the various guilds, they could take shifts, and the number of members in the Ancient Divine Relics was always maintained at a certain number, ensuring the steady improvement of the guild members.

This news also reached the headquarters of the various guilds and the various kingdoms and empires as soon as possible.

For a time, Zero Wing Guild became a topic of discussion among the various guilds and players.

"Zero Wing Guild is really going to rise now. Not only does it have advanced combat rooms and a guild city, but now it has even established a town next to the Ancient Divine Relics in neutral territory."

"Yeah! I heard that many free master players have also chosen to join Zero Wing Guild in order to improve themselves better. Not only are there advanced combat rooms to use for improvement, but I heard that learning combat techniques is also much cheaper. I knew I should have gone earlier."

Many free master players in the various kingdoms and empires were moved by this.

Previously, they didn't know much about Zero Wing Guild. Even if they knew about Zero Wing Guild, they weren't very optimistic about it. But now, Zero Wing Guild had become famous in the Ancient Divine Relics, proving to everyone that Zero Wing Guild's strength was very strong. Now, it had a guild town next to the Ancient Divine Relics, which could obtain a large number of resources from the Ancient Divine Relics. Its development momentum was probably unmatched even by those top-tier first-rate guilds, and it was very likely to impact super-first-rate guilds in the future.

Super-first-rate guilds were the longing of many master players. Everyone wanted to become an internal member, so they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in reality. However, there were so many master players in super-first-rate guilds, and there were only so many people who could become internal members. The competition could be said to be very fierce.

But if they could join a force that could become a super-first-rate guild in the future, they would have a very high probability of becoming an internal member with their qualifications and the level of an ordinary master.

Thinking of this, many master players in the kingdoms and empires also took action and went directly to Star-Moon Kingdom.

For a time, the number of players gathered in White River City and Zero Wing City's residence became more and more, once again allowing Zero Wing Guild to absorb a large wave of elites and masters. However, in order to completely turn these people into Zero Wing's true backbone and make these people think that Zero Wing was their home, it still took time to slowly digest.

This made Aqua Rose, who was organizing people, suddenly understand, and her heart was filled with indescribable joy.

With the guild town next to the Ancient Divine Relics, it would be much easier for their Zero Wing Guild to obtain combat techniques and go to the Ancient God's City in the future. The most important point was that the town next to the Ancient Divine Relics could bring a lot of income to their Zero Wing Guild.

Nowadays, there were many players leveling up in the Orc Empire, all from various kingdoms and empires, all of whom were masters and elites with a lot of resources in their hands. However, there were so few towns in the Orc Empire. Gu Yan City, which could accommodate a large number of players to rest before, had become a nest of devils, and there were even fewer places where players could rest well.

Now, with the town next to the Ancient Divine Relics, these master and elite players would definitely flock to it. At that time, it would be no problem to use this to earn various rare resources, which was probably more profitable than Stone Forest Town. Moreover, for Zero Wing members, it was also a good opportunity to go to neutral territory to level up, which was much faster than leveling up in the kingdom.

While Shi Feng in the advanced carriage didn't know that the Zero Wing town that appeared next to the Ancient Divine Relics had alarmed the guilds and a large number of players in the various kingdoms and empires, and even the various guilds had held emergency meetings to specifically discuss this issue.

Shi Feng only heard the system notification that the town had been built and that he could go to check it out.

However, Shi Feng's mind was not on the town at this time, but in his backpack space, counting his gains this time.

Before, because the battle situation was urgent, he didn't have time to carefully check. Now that the matter had been basically resolved, he could naturally sit down and check it out, because his gains in this battle in the Ancient Divine Relics were very many.

Not only did he kill a large number of Blackwater Guild's masters, but there were also two Legendary Evil Beasts, as well as a Tier 4 Legendary NPC, Di Luo.

Not to mention that the Blackwater Guild were all well-equipped masters, killing Yi Xiao Du Zang alone was very rewarding, and he dropped a Dark-Gold ranked longbow, the Skyfall Strike.

Dark-Gold ranked equipment was rarer than Epic ranked weapons, and its power was stronger than Epic ranked weapons, but it was very difficult to control Dark-Gold ranked equipment.

In addition to the Dark-Gold ranked equipment dropped by Yi Xiao Du Zang, the two Legendary Evil Beasts also dropped a growth-type Epic ranked magic robe and a valuable Advanced Alchemy recipe, the Evil Energy Potion, whose main material was the Evil Energy Crystal, which could increase the player's Strength attribute by 15% after drinking it, and had a certain resistance to evil energy. It was a top-quality potion that lasted for two hours.

However, compared to these items, Shi Feng valued the items dropped by the Legendary NPC Di Luo more, because NPCs rarely dropped items, and as long as they dropped them, they must be top-quality, not to mention a Tier 4 Legendary NPC.

Immediately, Shi Feng carefully took out the two items dropped by Di Luo from his backpack and directly used the Eye of Omniscience to check them.
