"I've finally succeeded."
Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief as he looked at the Green Ebony on the stone platform, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Although he had paid a lot of Magic Crystals, upgrading the ebony into Green Ebony had saved him a lot of time and effort. Otherwise, he really didn't know where he would've obtained so much Green Ebony.
Crafting an Advanced Transport Carriage required a total of 15 pieces of Green Ebony. Even if he sent Hei Zi and the others to grind Trolls, they'd be lucky to obtain even one Green Ebony per day. Not to mention, the abyssal monsters roamed the Crying Ghost Ridge. The danger was simply too high. A single mistake could cost him his life.
Using 30 Magic Crystals and one piece of ebony to trade for a piece of Green Ebony was simply too worth it.
However, Magic Crystals will be a problem if I want to mass-produce Green Ebony. Shifeng could not help his headache as he looked at the Magic Crystals in his bag.
Currently, he had over 40,000 Magic Crystals remaining in his bag. It was more than enough to produce Green Ebony.
However, if a Guild wished to develop, it would need to invest more resources in various aspects. Furthermore, if Zero Wing wished to develop rapidly, it would need to invest even more resources. This was especially true for its elite members. Training in the Divine Colosseum was a must. Hence, Zero Wing didn't have enough resources.
Although he had earned a fortune from the Dark Arena, he had already spent all of it. Moreover, he still owed Feng Qianyu a huge debt of 250,000 Magic Crystals. Moreover, he had to repay the debt within five days …
The majority of the loot he obtained from the Dark Arena was weapons and equipment. If he exchanged these weapons and equipment for Coins and Magic Crystals, he could naturally repay his debt to Feng Qianyu. He would even have a lot of money left over. With that money, he could immediately start constructing his city.
However, the Ling YI Society was currently frantically expanding its recruitment. It urgently needed a large number of top-tier weapons and equipment. Hence, he couldn't afford to exchange these weapons and equipment for Coins and Magic Crystals. If he wanted to repay his debt to Feng Qianyu and raise the money to construct his city, he would have to think of another way. Unless absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to exchange top-tier weapons and equipment.
It seems I'll have to increase Stone Forest Town's fame as soon as possible, Shifeng thought to himself.
Currently, Stone Forest Town was an Intermediate Town. Not only did it occupy a larger area, but Shi Feng had also constructed three Magic Towers. As a result, the town's Mana density had increased significantly. Although Stone Forest Town had only reopened shortly after the war ended, the number of players visiting the town had increased significantly.
However, if he wanted to make a lot of money, attracting players from the Starmoon Kingdom was not enough.
After all, there weren't many players in Starmoon Kingdom who could afford to become members of the Battle Arena. However, there were plenty of players in the neighboring kingdoms and empires. Only, these players either didn't know of Stone Forest Town's existence, or the town's environment wasn't enough to attract them.
With that in mind, the Shifeng quickly strengthened the Ebony in his hand.
If Shi Feng wanted to increase Stone Forest Town's Popularity, he first needed convenient transportation.
Burning Abyss had improved the Advanced Transport Carriage, making such a thing possible.
Stone Forest Town was roughly ten hours away from the nearest teleportation town. If he used a Common Mount, he could save half that time, which would be five hours. However, that was still too long.
The improved Advanced Transport Carriage's basic Movement Speed increased by 150%, the same as a Mysterious-Iron Mount. However, with Mana Burn, the Advanced Transport Carriage's Movement Speed increased by another 15%. This 15% increase wasn't just a 15% increase in Movement Speed. Instead, it was a 15% increase in Movement Speed based on 150% Movement Speed. In other words, the Advanced Transport Carriage's basic Movement Speed was 172.5%, rivaling a Secret-Silver Mount.
Now, the Advanced Transport Carriage only needed three hours to complete a ten-hour journey.
For high-level players who needed five to six hours to travel, this amount of time wasn't unacceptable.
Moreover, aside from this improvement, the Shifeng also intended to increase the rewards for the Battle Arena.
Powerful independent players would not be interested in top-tier weapons and equipment. Hence, if he wanted to increase the number of players participating in the competition, he needed to provide items that would attract independent experts.
Previously, there might not have been such items, but now, there was.
To expert players, as long as they wanted to, they could obtain weapons and equipment. However, improving their combat standards was a different story.
Originally, the Shifeng had intended to use the Secret Sword Technique's slots as a reward. However, now that they had the Secret Spellcasting Technique, they could use the slots as a reward. Although they would lose two slots each month, this reward was more than enough to make any independent expert go crazy.
Time passed quickly. Before they knew it, an entire night had gone by. The Shifeng continued to forge Green Ebony in the forging room.
After one night, they had produced a total of 600 Green Ebony logs. Although they weren't successful every time, spending over 20000 Magic Crystals, they had more than enough materials to produce the Advanced Transport Carriage.
With 600 Green Ebony logs, they could produce 40 Advanced Transport Carriages, which could be used to transport players to and from Stone Forest Town. Including the large number of rental carriages, they had more than enough materials. Now, the only thing left to do was produce the carriages.
Producing the Advanced Transport Carriages was very troublesome. With Burning Abyss as a Master Engineer, he would definitely be slow. Fortunately, he had hired Rodney, who had recently become a Master Engineer. The two of them could produce the Advanced Transport Carriages much faster than before. As for producing the Advanced Speedboats, that would have to wait. After all, the matter of the Diamond Wood had yet to be resolved. How could he possibly build a ship?
Aside from the Green Ebony harvest, Shi Feng's greatest harvest was the Magic Scrolls and Advanced Mana Armor Kits.
The Shifeng had produced a total of two sets of Double Protection Barrier Magic Arrays and two sets of Divine Beast's Descent. If not for their limited materials, they could have produced even more.
As for the Advanced Mana Armor Kits, they had produced over 600 of them, enough for the Guild's normal exchange rate. There was also a small portion that they could sell to attract players and serve as rewards for the Battle Arena's daily matches.
"Time sure flies. However, these Advanced Mana Armor Kits should last us for some time. Now, we just have to let the players of the other kingdoms know about this matter," Shifeng said, smiling in satisfaction.
The Advanced Mana Armor Kits were the best armor kits available at this stage of the game. In addition to the Secret Spellcasting Technique, Shi Feng could already imagine how much of a commotion this would cause.
Independent experts might not care about top-tier weapons and equipment, but the Exclusive Armor Kits and the Secret Spellcasting Technique might not even be available for purchase with money. Even independent experts would most likely be tempted to participate in the Battle Arena's matches.
Just as Shifeng was about to post on the official forums, A Melancholy Smile suddenly contacted him.
"Guild Leader, the Phoenix Pavilion Master has already left the Secret Technique space. She's currently in the top-floor meeting room. She says that she has something she wishes to discuss with you."
"She's already out?" Shifeng could not help his surprise.
