"Ding! Congratulations on becoming the Lord of Thunder Rain Fortress. You can choose to rename your territory. Do you wish to continue? "
No wonder he had never heard of Thunder Rain Fortress in his previous life. Territories could be renamed!
Zhang Yang was lazy and said, "No need to change it!"
The system did not continue with the Territory tutorial. Instead, it allowed him to enter the Territory option on the interface to check it out.
In his previous life, even the Clear Water Guild had never conquered a territory. Therefore, Zhang Yang had to figure out how to manage a territory.
Of course, the first thing he needed to do was to build a Teleportation Point. This would be convenient for his guild members and also related to the huge economic benefits!
"Ding! You have chosen to build a Teleportation Point. Each Teleportation Point will require a payment of 1,000,000 gold coins. Moreover, each Teleportation Point can only lead to one of the eight main cities in the China region! After the Teleportation Point is built, you can set the fee for using the Teleportation Point. Note that this Teleportation Point can only be used in one direction! "
Zhang Yang immediately paid 1,000,000 gold coins to the system and built a one-way Teleportation Point to Baiyu City.
As for the other seven main cities, he did not have the mood to spend this extra money! This was because the banks and auction houses in the eight main cities were connected. Moreover, the Teleportation Points between the main cities were free to use. Arriving at Baiyu City was equivalent to arriving at the other seven main cities!
Moreover, Zhang Yang had his own selfish motives! This was because only opening the Teleportation Point to Baiyu City meant that there would be a large number of players using the auction houses and banks in Baiyu City. His small shop was just opposite the auction houses. As long as 1% of the players went there …
Hehe! Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. He said in the guild channel, "All members who have reached Level 50 and above, come to Thunder Rain Fortress and bind the Teleportation Point here. In the future, there will be no need to travel back and forth. Arriving at Thunder Rain Fortress is equivalent to arriving at Baiyu City!"
"Wow, hooray!"
"Guild master, I love you so much!"
"Go go go! Let's get on the plane!"
In an instant, all the players above Level 50 rushed to the flight point.
Zhang Yang then notified Xue Qianxun, Wu Tian, and Chi Lianhuo, telling them that the Teleportation Point had been built and that they could use it as they pleased!
He set the teleportation fee to 0 for the members of these four guilds, 1 gold coin for everyone else, and 10 gold coins for the members of the Tyrant, Pride, and Axe Gang.
This Teleportation Portal wasn't something that could be used once and for all after it was built. Every day, a large number of Magic Crystal Ores would be consumed to maintain its operation, and they would need to constantly purchase "energy" from the system. To put it bluntly, they would have to pay taxes. They couldn't let themselves get all the benefits!
The Magic Crystals were ridiculously expensive. One piece cost 10,000,000 gold coins. Fortunately, they could be used for 10 days. So, it was still a good profit! Currently, there were more than 60 million players in the China server. Among them, there were about 5 to 6 million who were above Level 50. If everyone teleported once a day, they would be able to recoup their investment in two days!
In the future, as more people reached Level 50, there would be even more people using the territory's teleportation circle! Of course, more territories would spawn in the future, and the benefits would definitely not be reaped by a single guild!
After settling the teleportation, Zhang Yang turned his attention to the territory's defense!
Taking over the territory didn't mean that they could rest easy! As long as a guild obtained a territory snatching order, they could start a war to take over the territory. Although Desert Dust wasn't afraid of any guild challenging him, in a siege war, the attacking side could buy siege weapons. If they didn't have a corresponding defense, then the defending side would just be waiting to be blasted to smithereens!
So, the necessary defenses had to be in place!
First of all, the weapons of mass destruction were the Magic Cannons! These things were too amazing. They had a range of several hundred meters, and when they exploded, they dealt damage over dozens of square meters. Being hit by them would result in an instant kill. They were extremely powerful defensive weapons!
Of course, these things were also ridiculously expensive! Just in terms of purchase, one Magic Cannon cost 5,000,000 gold coins. Moreover, just the cannons weren't enough. They also needed Energy Crystals as the energy source. One Energy Crystal cost 1,000,000 gold coins, and it could only be fired 10 times!
One shot cost 100,000 gold coins. Tsk tsk tsk, not many people could afford to fire these cannons!
But for the greater benefit, this money had to be paid!
Zhang Yang bought two Magic Cannons and two Energy Crystals. He spent money like water. He couldn't help but think that if Han Yingxue or Wei Yan 'er were in his place, who knew how conflicted these two girls would be!
He had the weapons of mass destruction, but he still needed regular forces to protect the territory's safety. The system wouldn't be so kind as to let him earn money in peace! From time to time, it would send out groups of monsters to harass him. If he only used the Magic Cannons, they were too expensive!
So, Zhang Yang bought an NPC army — a group of 100 Elite Knights. Every month, he had to pay each of them 10,000 gold coins as a salary. Of course, this was actually given to the system.
These NPC soldiers were all Level 65 and could be leveled up, but leveling up required additional money. Moreover, only when players reached Level 70 could they level up to Level 75. Similarly, when players reached Level 80, the NPC soldiers could level up to Level 85.
These NPCs could chase away monsters and maintain order in the territory. They were equivalent to the city guards, just not as strong!
The third was the city's defense!
For example, the city walls and gates were all targets that could be attacked. For example, a Level 1 city gate only had 1,000,000 Health Points, 1,000 Armor Points, and 1,000 Magic Defense Points. However, when it was upgraded to Level 2, it would have 10,000,000 Health Points, 2,500 Armor Points, and 2,500 Magic Defense Points!
The stronger the city's defense, even if the enemy had siege weapons like catapults, the longer it would take to break through the city's defense! Moreover, there was a time limit in territorial battles. The longer they could delay the enemy outside the castle, the higher the chances of the defending side winning!
Unfortunately, upgrading the city's defense required all kinds of ores. The higher the level, the more ores needed, and the more precious the quality. This Level 2 city defense was still far away!
For example, the blacksmiths who repaired equipment and merchants who sold goods, the system didn't provide them for rent. It said that they could only be obtained by completing specific quests. Zhang Yang thought about it. Although it was a little inconvenient, it could allow the players to use the teleportation circle to return to the main city more frequently and increase the teleportation fees!
Zhang Yang first bound his teleportation talisman to the teleportation circle in Thunder Rain Fortress and returned to White Jade City through the teleportation circle. He shouted in the regional channel, "Players, at present, Thunder Rain Fortress in Danira Forest has built a one-way teleportation circle to White Jade City. As long as you bind the teleportation talisman to the teleportation circle there, you won't have to travel so hard in the future! The teleportation fee is super cheap, only 1 gold coin per use! "
After shouting in White Jade City, he teleported to the other seven main cities to promote it.
He believed that no one would dislike such a convenient transportation tool! Therefore, Zhang Yang didn't have to publicize it. As long as people knew about it, used it, and knew that it was convenient, naturally, more and more players would bind the teleportation talisman to Thunder Rain Fortress.
In terms of geographical location, Thunder Rain Fortress was located in a Level 60 map. It was connected to Level 50 and 70 maps above and below it. There were also Level 60 maps on the left and right sides of the map. Crossing 30 levels, it was enough for the players to stay in these three areas for four to five months. It could be said to be the best of the best!
Huge profits!
Before the second territory appeared, this teleportation fee would be terrifyingly huge profits! And even if the second and third territories appeared, it would still be a huge profit, just that it would be a little thinner!
Zhang Yang didn't skimp on gold coins at all in the guild. He spent money like water, making Wei Yan 'er and Han Ying Xue's eyes shine.
Desert Dust's morale soared. Everyone thought that following Zhang Yang was great. This guild boss never mistreated his subordinates. Following him made them feel at ease! Moreover, Desert Dust's dungeon progress was the fastest in the world. Everyone felt a sense of superiority and pride, and the guild's cohesiveness increased.
After Zhang Yang shouted in the eight main cities, many players immediately rushed to Thunder Rain Fortress to bind the teleportation talisman and test out the teleportation formation.
Beep beep beep. Suddenly, Modest Gentleman's call request came through the voice chat.
"Battlecruiser, you've gone too far!" Modest Gentleman's angry voice exploded the moment Zhang Yang picked up the voice chat.
Zhang Yang laughed loudly and said: "How am I going too far?"
"Everyone else's teleportation fee is 1 gold. Why do we have to pay 10 gold?" Modest Gentleman said angrily. Don't look at how 10 gold was 9 gold more than 1 gold. It was a psychological blow to the Tyrant's members. It was a method to drive a wedge between them!
Zhang Yang laughed coldly in his heart. This hypocrite was shameless. Last time, because he didn't expect him to do such a shameful thing, the Tyrant was able to avoid disaster. But the two sides had already formed an irreconcilable grudge. Zhang Yang was someone who had died once. He definitely wouldn't allow a tiger to grow. No matter what, he had to completely destroy the Tyrant!
He said indifferently: "Oh, so you're rich. You think 10 gold is too little? Then, how about 100 gold? "
"You — —" Modest Gentleman was so angry that he couldn't say anything!
When there was competition, the consumer was the king! But when there was a monopoly, the consumer was a fish at the mercy of others!
Although Modest Gentleman really wanted to slap Zhang Yang in the face, the location of Thunder Rain Fortress was too good. It saved him at least three hours of travel time. He really didn't have the confidence to do so!
I'll endure it!
"Fine, you win!" Modest Gentleman hung up the voice communication hatefully.
He definitely couldn't let the members pay the extra 9 gold. Otherwise, it might be fine for eight to ten days, but after a long time, there would definitely be a mutiny in the guild! Although Modest Gentleman had the style of a villain, he still had some brains!
He could only use his own pocket to supplement the extra expenses! Modest Gentleman gritted his teeth and made a decision. But when he thought about the over 10,000 members in the guild, the subsidy would be terrifying! It was impossible to do it once a day. He could only reduce the number of times he returned to the main city. In that case, he would subsidize it once every 10 days!
But once every 10 days, he would have to spend around 300,000 gold a month. Modest Gentleman's face instantly turned green from the heartache!
Why did this Modest Gentleman have to send his face to be stepped on every time? Zhang Yang shook his head. He tore open the teleportation talisman and returned to Thunder Rain Fortress, planning to continue leveling up.
With a huge money-making weapon like a territory, the benefits of potions were nothing. Zhang Yang paid more attention to maintaining his lead in level. If a territory in a Level 80 map appeared in the future, he would strive to be the first to take it! (To be continued.
