Stone Forest Town, Battle Arena:
The Battle Arena was nearly a hundred meters tall in Stone Forest Town. It was also the maximum height an Intermediate Town could reach. Even players standing in a corner of the town could see the Battle Arena clearly.
Now, the Battle Arena had become the heart of Stone Forest Town. Practically every player that visited Stone Forest Town would visit the Battle Arena.
As soon as the cloaked Shifeng entered the Battle Arena's central hall, he saw nearly four hundred players lined up in the lounge area, waiting to enter the combat rooms. Meanwhile, the queue at the payment counters was several times longer than the lounge area's.
Although the Battle Arena was not as profitable as it had been at its peak, it still earned over 1,000 Gold per day. It was enough to make first-rate Guilds drool.
Of course, first-rate Guilds earned far more than 1,000 Gold per day. However, the larger a Guild was, the more members it had, and the more money it had to spend. This was especially true for Guild towns. To develop a Guild town, a Guild had to invest nearly half of its earnings into the town's development. As a result, there was very little money that could actually be used as liquid funds.
Moreover, the various first-rate Guilds had powerful backgrounds and large corporations supporting them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to sustain the initial investment.
Meanwhile, after deducting the various development costs, Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena earned over 1,000 Gold per day. The various large Guilds envied the Battle Arena. Hence, the various large Guilds had begun to build Battle Arenas in their towns.
It was precisely because of the Battle Arena, Candlelight, and the teleportation house's income that the Ling YI Society dared to develop itself on multiple fronts. On one hand, it invested in the Black Dragon Empire's Ling Yi Branch Guild. On the other, it invested in Immortal Light.
However, once Stone Forest Town was completed, the Ling YI Society would have another bottomless hole to fill. If they did not make preparations now, the Ling YI Society's funds would quickly run out again.
After observing the situation for a short while, the Shifeng made his way upstairs.
"Lord Guild Leader, you're here." As soon as the Shifeng entered the hall on the top floor, a gorgeous woman in a light blue dress walked over to greet them.
This beautiful woman was none other than Judy, one of the ten Advanced Management NPCs that Shifeng had hired. Her Wisdom had reached 76 points, even higher than the average Tier 3 magical class NPC. In God's Domain, she was a management NPC that could only be found through luck.
It was precisely because of these high-level NPCs that the Battle Arena could operate in such an orderly manner. If players were in charge of the Battle Arena, they'd most likely be overworked.
"Can you help me get the layout of the rooms on the seventh floor? I want to rearrange the rooms on the seventh floor." Shifeng nodded. Although he was wearing a Black Cloak, the ten high-level NPCs in the Battle Arena had signed contracts with him. Even if he was wearing a Black Cloak, he would still be recognized.
"Yes." Judy bowed and left.
NPCs were astonishingly efficient. After a short moment, Shifeng, who had been waiting in the VIP reception room, had obtained the layout of the Battle Arena's seventh floor.
The seventh floor of the Battle Arena consisted of a competition venue and private lounges. However, after Stone Forest Town had been promoted to an Intermediate Town, the Battle Arena had grown much larger. As a result, many private lounges had become vacant. Now, they could use these lounges to create advanced combat rooms.
Originally, the Evil God's Tablet only covered a 50-yard radius. However, after several upgrades, it now covered a 100-yard radius. As long as they reconstructed the seventh floor, they could create several combat rooms that could be covered by the Evil God's Tablet. They could then allow players to fight Illusory Creatures in these combat rooms to improve themselves.
"Guild Leader, if you want to reconstruct the seventh floor, not only will it be a massive project, but you'll also waste a lot of space. You'll also have to pay 1,000 Gold for the reconstruction. Are you sure you want to do this?" Judy asked as she looked at the layout Shifeng had reconstructed.
In God's Domain, if one wanted to make minor modifications to a large-scale building, they would not have to pay a fee. However, if they wanted to make large-scale changes, they would have to pay a considerable fee.
"It's fine. Just have someone do it," Shifeng said, not minding the 1,000 Gold reconstruction fee. He immediately had Judy carry out the task.
Although Shi Feng had wasted a lot of space to construct the advanced combat rooms, the Evil God's Tablet just so happened to cover all nine combat rooms within its range. The money he had spent was well worth it.
This way, players could enjoy fighting Illusory Creatures when they visited the nine combat rooms on the seventh floor in the future.
Previously, when Shifeng had observed the first-floor hall, he had discovered that the majority of expert players were Level 41 or 42. They were also fully geared in Secret-Silver or Fine-Gold Weapons and Equipment. Very few experts wore Level 40 Dark-Gold Weapons and Equipment.
This was because the Battle Arena was too attractive to experts of that level. Unfortunately, such experts possessed a large number of advanced resources.
Now that the Evil God's Tablet's illusory space was a good opportunity to do so.
Although Shifeng had considered using the illusory space only to increase the number of Guild members, a Guild needed not only experts but also a large number of resources to support its development.
If he could attract experts of such caliber and obtain the resources in their hands, the Guild's development would reach a whole new level.
Shortly after Shifeng made his arrangements, a commotion broke out in Stone Forest Town.
"Huh? They're not letting anyone enter the Battle Arena's seventh floor? What's going on?"
"I don't know. I've heard that several experts resting in the Battle Arena have been notified to leave their private lounges. They're saying that they're remodeling the Battle Arena's seventh floor."
"Remodeling the seventh floor? Are they planning to build more combat rooms? "
"That might be possible. In the past, the Battle Arena's members didn't even have to wait in line. Now, even members have to wait in line for a while before they can enter a combat room. If Ling Yi can build more combat rooms for members, we'll have fewer lines in the future."
The players waiting in the Battle Arena began to discuss the sudden change.
While everyone was quietly discussing, the Battle Arena's seventh floor's remodeling was completed. Unlike construction, remodeling was much faster. Moreover, NPCs were the ones responsible for the remodeling. From the time they paid for the remodeling to the end, only a dozen or so minutes had passed. Meanwhile, the entire seventh floor looked brand new. Many curious players rushed up to the seventh floor to take a look.
They wouldn't have known if they hadn't taken a look. However, the moment they did, they were shocked.
The remodeling on the seventh floor had indeed included the construction of combat rooms. However, the number of rooms was stupefying.
There were actually only nine of them …
These nine combat rooms occupied the equivalent of over 20 rooms on the sixth floor. It was incomparably extravagant.
In addition, a new type of combat room had appeared in the first-floor hall, and that was the advanced combat room. Moreover, non-members of the Battle Arena couldn't rent one. As for the price, it was ridiculously high.
Renting an advanced combat room cost two Magic Crystals for 30 minutes!
Just renting a combat room in the Battle Arena cost 4 Silver per hour was already a heartache. Now, however, renting a combat room for half an hour cost 2 Magic Crystals. Currently, Magic Crystals were worth 25 Silver per crystal. Normally, one would only be able to purchase one at 26 Silver per crystal.
"Is the Ling YI Society trying to rob us?"
"Crap! This is too much! Only an idiot would rent a combat room like this! "
"The Ling YI Society is insane! If I had that kind of money, I'd rather challenge the Trial Tower in the Divine Colosseum! "
