White River City was the fifth most populated city in the Starmoon Kingdom. Although it was much smaller than Blackwing City, it would take at least a few days to explore the city.
The Teleportation Hall was located in the southwest region of White River City, very close to the city gate. Meanwhile, the City Hall was located in the heart of White River City, located in the Trade Area's White River Plaza.
As White River City was a city, its management system was much stricter than a town's. At the same time, it was also much more prosperous. As the central city that governed hundreds of towns, there were many merchants here. Shops, bars, restaurants, fruit shops, cloth shops, leather shops, armor shops, magic shops, alchemy workshops, smithy shops, and so on could be seen on both sides of the streets.
Players were not allowed to set up stalls in the city. If they wished to sell their items, they had to purchase a Shop. However, the Shops in the city were extremely expensive. Ordinary players could not afford them. Moreover, players could not purchase a Shop just because they wanted to. They needed a certain amount of Reputation. Only by reaching a certain level of Reputation would they be able to purchase a Shop in White River City.
However, there were still opportunities for players to sell their items.
The first method was to visit the Auction House. White River City's Auction House was very prosperous. It was connected to the eight nearest cities with a relatively small population. As long as one placed an item for sale in the Auction House, players in the eight cities would be able to see it. However, the processing fee was extraordinarily high. Just the storage fee alone was determined by the value of the item and the length of time it was stored. In addition, after the item was sold, an 8% auction fee would be deducted.
If one sold an item in the Auction House, they would receive a commission of around 15%. It was not worth it at all. Hence, the items in the city's Auction House were very expensive. It was simply not worth it to put some small items up for sale.
The second method was to hold a large-scale market in White River City's plaza every three days. Players only needed to pay a small fee to set up stalls and sell their items in the market. It was very suitable for independent players. Unfortunately, the market was only held once every three days. Moreover, it only began at night, and it lasted for only ten hours.
If one was not interested in grinding monsters and adventuring … If one wished to develop in God's Domain, it was extremely important to purchase a Shop in White River City. After all, only a Shop could operate for 48 hours without interruption. As God's Domain developed, the money one could earn from owning a Shop in White River City was no less than opening a Shop in the real world. Moreover, the trade volume in God's Domain was much higher, so it was easier to earn money.
In his previous life, many players had given up on leveling up. He had spent a lot of effort to buy a shop. Although the location was very remote, the money he earned was enough for him to not have to worry about food and drink in the real world.
Shifeng, he took a carriage to the City Hall.
Compared to the City Hall in a town, White River City's City Hall was much more majestic. The building was ten stories tall, and the area it occupied was the size of a football field. Over twenty Guardian Knights stood before the entrance of the building. These Guardian Knights were all Level 150 Elites, and the Guardian Captain was a Level 160, Tier 2 Knight. They were so strong that they could easily destroy a small town.
Moreover, a major city like White River City had two or three Tier 4 VIPs guarding it. Powerful monsters and dark forces wouldn't dare approach the city.
As soon as the Shifeng entered the city hall, they were greeted by a beautiful woman.
"Dear Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" The beautiful employee blinked her big eyes and asked.
"I wish to meet with Magistrate Weissman. I have a letter of recommendation from Blackbeard," Shifeng said as he revealed his Demon Hunter title.
Ordinary people did not have the qualifications to meet with Magistrate Weissman of White River City. One needed to possess a certain level of status to do so. After all, the Magistrate was equivalent to the mayor. He held all military and political power in White River City. The minimum requirement to meet with Weissman was to be a noble of White River City. However, Shifeng's Reputation in White River City was still far from being a noble. Hence, he had no choice but to reveal his Demon Hunter title.
"So, it is Lord Demon Hunter. Magistrate Weissman is currently handling official business. You will need to wait for some time. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the lounge for a moment. I will immediately notify Magistrate Weissman. " When the beautiful employee saw Shifeng's title, she immediately became respectful. Commoners like them could not afford to offend nobles. Even if she worked for the kingdom.
"Go ahead and notify him, then." Shifeng nodded. He then walked towards the lounge.
Sitting in the empty lounge, Shifeng turned on his system communicator out of boredom.
Beep … Beep … Beep …
Previously, in order not to be disturbed, he had deliberately turned off the system communicator function. That way, nobody would be able to contact him. However, the moment he reactivated his communicator, he discovered that there were hundreds of communication requests. Among these people, Shifeng was familiar with many of them. They were the upper echelons of the various large Guilds in White River City. Some were even the Vice Guild Leaders or Elders.
Naturally, Stabbing Heart and Gentle Snow were also unavoidable. After all, the advantage they had after entering White River City was simply too great. They could casually investigate the leveling area's resource situation, the locations with the fastest leveling speed, the locations with the most mineral resources, and so on. They could also investigate the city's quests, the city's rules, and so on. Before entering White River City, nobody would know of these many secrets.
If a Guild could be the first to learn of these secrets, it would definitely be a massive fortune to a Guild. They could occupy the best leveling spots before others, receive high-level quests before others, purchase daily or weekly limited items before others, and collect resources like ores and herbs before others. This information could allow a Guild to pull ahead of others step by step. It was definitely information that these Guilds wanted to know the most.
It was especially true now that these Guilds were about to reach Level 10 and enter White River City. If they could obtain this information, they would be able to adapt to the new environment and stabilize their leveling speed, collecting resources, and so on. They would not have to waste time collecting information. They could also save a lot of time, pulling ahead of the Guilds developing in other cities.
With so many benefits, these Guilds naturally would not let go of Shifeng. They would definitely think of ways to contact Shifeng. Unfortunately, they were all dumbfounded. They never thought that Shifeng would turn off his communicator. They had no way of contacting him at all.
The only method they could think of was to send a message to Shifeng. As a result, thousands of messages appeared in Shifeng's message box. If he wanted to read through all of them, he would need to spend at least four to five hours.
However, Shifeng had nothing better to do, so he took a look at which Guilds were worth contacting. After all, he was still an independent player. If he did not sell even a little bit of information, he would become the enemy of everyone. With his current strength and influence, doing so would only lead to a miserable ending. Hence, he chose some Guilds. Needless to say, Stabbing Heart and Gentle Snow were his friends. After all, they were already friends. He would definitely sell this information to them at a relatively low price. However, the same could not be said for the other Guilds.
Moreover, Shifeng also needed to carefully consider the information he sold. After all, he knew too much. White River City was practically his own home. He could not possibly sell all of his information. Hence, he needed to consider which information he could sell. He needed to ensure that these Guilds would be extremely interested in this information and be willing to spend a large sum of money to purchase it. However, he also needed to ensure that these Guilds did not receive too many benefits and become a hindrance in the future.
Shifeng had a slight headache when it came to controlling the situation. (To be continued.)
