"A better option?"
Gentle Snow looked at the crimson stone in Shifeng's hand curiously. The stone was about the size of a fist. If not for the faint aura it radiated, she would've mistaken it for an ordinary ruby.
Resource towns were practically necessities for first-rate Guilds. After all, purchasing resources from the outside world was prohibitively expensive. However, Guilds could set up quests and have their members collect them for a much cheaper price.
This way, Guilds could obtain various herbs and ores at a low price. In addition, Guild members would have an additional channel to earn GCPs.
Although the Ling YI Society owned an important town like Stone Forest Town, it did not have a resource town. If other powers monopolized certain important resources, the Ling YI Society would lose its own resource town. Hence, resource towns were necessary.
Although Hidden Fog Town was a good location, it only had one mine. The ore it produced was very limited. Unlike Green Rain Town, which produced a variety of herbs and ores.
"This stone is no ordinary stone. It's made of Red Obsidian," Gentle Snow explained when he saw Gentle Snow's disappointed expression. "I'm sure you know what Red Luminaries Stone is. It is far more valuable than Magic Crystals. At the same time, it is one of the Superconducting Ores that is only second to Seven Luminaries Crystals in terms of value."
"But what does a piece of Red Obsidian have to do with a resource town?" Gentle Snow asked curiously.
"I'm not done yet. This stone is made of Red Obsidian. However, it is incomplete. Originally, the Founding Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire had created a teleportation gate that led to 33 neutral maps located outside the Black Dragon Empire. Due to the resources in these 33 locations, the Black Dragon Empire flourished for a time. However, due to a rebellion, the teleportation gate was destroyed, and the 33 teleportation cores of this gate went missing. The stone in my hand is one of the cores.
"Although this is only a teleportation core, as long as one gathers a bottle of Temporal Sand and 200,000 Magic Crystals, one can construct an unstable teleportation gate in any Guild Town within the Black Dragon Empire and teleport to the designated neutral map recorded in this teleportation core."
Shifeng looked at the teleportation core in his hand and slowly explained.
During the founding of God's Domain, the Black Dragon Empire was an existence that could rival the Four Great Empires. If not for the destruction of the Teleportation Gate during the war, the Black Dragon Empire would've long since become the fifth empire of God's Domain.
In the past, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion had obtained seven of the 33 Teleportation Cores, allowing the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion to amass a vast amount of resources. Afterward, the Pavilion had even been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with veteran Super Guilds.
After killing Crimson Fox, even the Shifeng did not expect that he would be able to obtain one of them.
There were only a total of 33 teleportation cores in the Black Dragon Empire, and they corresponded to 33 resource-rich neutral maps. Due to the various powers and terrain, the neutral maps didn't have teleportation magic arrays. Normally, players would have to travel to a neutral map by themselves. However, if one had the means to teleport to a neutral map, they would undoubtedly gain control over the map. Naturally, the neutral map's resources would fall into their hands.
In other words, one teleportation core could control an entire neutral map.
Shifeng had considered capturing Green Rain Town, but now that they had the teleportation core, the town's resources paled in comparison.
As long as he occupied Hidden Fog Town and constructed a teleportation gate, not only would he be able to focus on developing Hidden Fog Town, but he'd also be able to obtain large quantities of resources. He wouldn't have to compete with other powers for Green Rain Town.
"Teleportation to a neutral map? Guild Leader, you're not lying, right?! "Gentle Snow was indescribably shocked as she looked at the stone in Shifeng's hand.
She had been in God's Domain for some time now, and as one of the Guild's upper managers, she paid close attention to the various information regarding God's Domain. Hence, she was very familiar with neutral maps.
Neutral maps weren't under human control, and they weren't suitable for long-term human habitation. However, these neutral maps shared a common characteristic: they were rich in resources. Kingdoms and empires simply couldn't compare to them.
Rare resources could be found everywhere …
However, these neutral maps were very dangerous. They were also very far from towns and cities. Traveling to and from these neutral maps was quite troublesome. Moreover, it was very difficult for players to stay in these neutral maps for long periods of time.
Meanwhile, a teleportation gate leading to these neutral maps was the equivalent of controlling an entire neutral map. Players could teleport to these neutral maps at any time. Not only was it extremely convenient, but it could also gather a large number of players and resources for a Guild town. One could just imagine how valuable the teleportation core was.
Even five Green Rain Towns wouldn't be a match for the teleportation core, much less one.
With the teleportation core, the Ling YI Society would be able to easily develop in the Black Dragon Empire. After all, resources were king in God's Domain. Otherwise, the various superpowers wouldn't have tried so hard to control resources.
"You'll understand once you see it for yourself," Shifeng said as he sent Gentle Snow an introduction to the teleportation core.
Although the introduction was indeed a teleportation core, it didn't mention where it led to. It only mentioned that it would form a teleportation gate to an unknown location.
After reading the introduction, Gentle Snow searched the Ling YI Society's database and discovered that there were indeed teleportation gates in the Black Dragon Empire that led to 33 neutral maps.
This information rendered Gentle Snow speechless.
She even wondered if Shifeng was a humanoid quantum computer. How could he know such information?
The information she received was very incomplete. If not for Shifeng's detailed introduction, she wouldn't have been able to find anything about the teleportation gate.
However, although the Teleportation Core was excellent, it had a very serious problem — a bottle of Temporal Sand and 200,000 Magic Crystals. Setting aside the 200,000 Magic Crystals, she had never even heard of Temporal Sand before.
Without Temporal Sand, the teleportation core was a useless item.
"Leave the teleportation gate to me. You just need to secure Hidden Fog Town and get promoted to Tier 2 as soon as possible. You've already seen the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2. The sooner you reach Tier 2, the easier it will be for you to level up in the future," Shifeng said as he looked at Gentle Snow.
He was very familiar with the teleportation core's shortcomings.
Just the 200,000 Magic Crystals would be enough to make a first-rate Guild vomit blood. He didn't know how long it would take to accumulate so many Magic Crystals. After all, Magic Crystals were a common resource for the various large Guilds.
Next was the Sands of Time, and a bottle at that. Normally, the Sands of Time were sold by grains.
Meanwhile, this bottle contained 500 grains of Temporal Sand. Every grain of Temporal Sand was incomparably precious. On the market, each grain sold for at least 20 Gold. When the price was high, it could even sell for over 50 Gold.
Not only could Temporal Sand be used to construct Teleportation Gates, but it was also one of the precious materials used to craft various Epic items. The Temporal Sand could increase one's production success rate significantly. In addition, the more Temporal Sand one used, the better the items one crafted would be. Hence, Temporal Sand was highly sought after by the various Lifestyle players of God's Domain.
However, he knew that there were two places in the Black Dragon Empire where he could obtain Temporal Sand, and he was very familiar with one of them.
That was Countess Katie of Lake Heart City. It was exchanged in Green's hands.
