Cold Wind City's City Hall:
As Shifeng entered the hall, he noticed many Hekati players waiting at the reception desk to accept City Quests. It was obvious that these players had no intention of giving up on Cold Wind City. They had even accepted two of the city's top five Contribution Quests.
There were many Contribution Quests available in Cold Wind City. However, none of these Contribution Quests could be completed by ordinary expert players. As for the top ten Contribution Quests, every one of them was comparable to an Epic Quest. Completing these Contribution Quests would award players with around 50 City Contribution Points. Among them, the top five Contribution Quests rewarded players with over 100 City Contribution Points.
Accepting these Contribution Quests required a sizable deposit. Generally, the top five Contribution Quests required 500 Gold and 5,000 Magic Crystals. If players failed to complete these Contribution Quests, the deposit would not be refunded.
Hekati had accepted two of the top five Contribution Quests. The Gold Coins were a small matter. More importantly, 10,000 Magic Crystals was a significant sum even to first-rate Guilds. This was especially true in an Otherworld like the Ice Crystal World, where Magic Crystals were scarce.
However, Shifeng did not dwell on the matter. He followed the NPC senior administrator to Cold Wind City's Magistrate's office and prepared to take over a portion of Cold Wind City's authority.
Inside a secluded office with a large number of books, a valiant young man in noble attire was scribbling on a document. When he saw Shifeng enter the office, he immediately stopped what he was doing.
This young man was none other than Magistrate Frott of Cold Wind City. He was a Level 180, Tier 4 Sky Knight. It was rare to see someone become a Tier 4 Sky Knight at such a young age in God's Domain.
"Adventurer, you've come," Magistrate Frott said when he saw Shifeng enter the office.
"Greetings! Lord Magistrate, I am here as a representative of the Asura Adventurers. I wish to become the City Lord's representative and manage Cold Wind City as a contribution, "Shifeng said respectfully.
"I've already heard about you. The Asura Adventurers have done well. You've opened up the Snow Ruin, which had been sealed off for many years, and opened a path to other cities. With such strength, I believe that Cold Wind City will be a good choice under your management." Magistrate Frott nodded slightly after carefully examining Shifeng. He then took out a silver token from his desk. The token had an image of an eagle engraved on it. "This is the City Lord's Representative Token. With this token, you will have a portion of Cold Wind City's authority authority. However, I must warn you that if someone more capable than you appear in Cold Wind City, I will withdraw this token. I hope that you will be able to use this token and help Cold Wind and develop!"
Saying so, Frott handed the City Lord's Representative Token to Shi Feng.
Shifeng was overjoyed when he received the token.
He had finally become the ruler of Cold Wind City. With this token, he was the equivalent of half a City Lord. He would have high-level authority over Cold Wind City. He could run Cold Wind City like an iron bucket and turn it into the Asura Adventurers' base of operations.
After becoming the City Lord's Representative, he would gain direct control of several vacant plots of Land on the main street of Cold Wind City's central district. These plots of Land were special privileges for the City Lord's Representative. They could be used to construct Advanced Buildings, such as Advanced Smiths, Advanced Restaurants, Advanced Shops, Advanced Magic Shops, and so on.
Advanced Shops, in particular, could hold large-scale auctions. When the time came, not only would players be able to auction off items, but even NPCs would be able to do so. Only, these auctions would only be held once a week.
Meanwhile, the most amazing aspect of an acting City Lord's Representative was the teleportation array he could construct. He could construct a teleportation plaza on the main street and teleport players to Cold Wind City's border fortresses. These border fortresses were located very far from Cold Wind City, and they were located in Level 60-plus high-resource maps.
These were the true locations of Otherworlds' resources. Many of these resources were unique to Otherworlds. The various large Guilds on the continent of God's Domain vied for these resources. Hence, they had all constructed fortresses to protect these locations. Many Guild wars had broken out in these maps.
If players set out from Cold Wind City to these border fortresses, they would have to pass through Level 90-plus maps. These maps were extremely dangerous and time-consuming. Hence, teleporting to these border fortresses was the best option.
Meanwhile, the City Lord's Representative would be in charge of managing the teleportation array. The City Lord's Representative would decide how much money he could charge and how he could charge. Of course, there was a limit to how much money he could charge. The City Lord's Representative would receive 20% of his income. This was the greatest benefit of becoming a City Lord's Representative.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng immediately made his way to the VIP reception room on the second floor. He then began to discuss the teleportation array's construction with the NPC senior administrator.
The sooner the teleportation array was constructed, the more beneficial it would be to the Asura Adventurers.
"Lord Acting City Lord, here is the information on the teleportation array you requested. It ranges from small teleportation arrays to large teleportation arrays," the NPC senior administrator said as he took out a list of the teleportation array's construction requirements and handed it to Shifeng.
The cost of constructing a teleportation array sure is high! It's no wonder why the Guilds that occupied Otherworlds' NPC cities in the past never constructed one. Shifeng was astonished when he read the list.
Constructing a small teleportation array cost 10,000 Gold and 80,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport a maximum of 50 players to three fortresses.
Constructing a medium teleportation array cost 20,000 Gold and 200,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport a maximum of 100 players to six fortresses. Moreover, the teleportation cost was the same as teleporting a small teleportation array of 50 players. In other words, he could make more money by constructing a medium teleportation array.
Constructing a large teleportation array cost 40,000 Gold and 300,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport a maximum of 200 players to ten fortresses.
Of course, constructing these teleportation gates would be beneficial to Cold Wind City's development. Hence, Shi Feng would also earn a considerable amount of Contribution Points. He wouldn't let anyone else benefit from these teleportation gates.
Moreover, aside from teleportation arrays, players could also earn Contribution Points from constructing certain Advanced Buildings. Because of this, it was very difficult for others to surpass those who became Acting City Lords.
"Lord Acting City Lord, as you are the first Acting City Lord to be selected from among the adventurers, we can construct two teleportation arrays for you at a special price. Here is the information." The NPC senior administrator then took out two lists and handed them to Shifeng. "Once you've made your choice, you may inform me at any time."
The two lists introduced two teleportation arrays. Both were small teleportation arrays. However, compared to the small teleportation arrays, the small teleportation arrays had one additional function.
One teleportation array could be used to teleport four fortresses. However, the teleportation array cost 10,000 Gold and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
The other teleportation array also had three fortresses. However, players could teleport to the Snow Rift's Snow Ruin Hall. The teleportation array cost 10,000 Gold and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
"How ruthless! An additional teleportation array costs an additional 20,000 Magic Crystals! " Shifeng felt that the NPC was quite greedy. However, after giving the matter some thought, he decided that this was a benefit for being the first Acting City Lord. The next Acting City Lord would not receive such treatment. Immediately, he said, "In that case, I'll construct a teleportation array that teleports to the Snow Ruin."
Although it was good to have an additional fortress, compared to the benefits he would receive, teleporting directly to the Snow Ruin was much better. After all, many players would need to travel between the two regions for a relatively long time. This was especially true for Asura Adventurers.
After saying so, Shifeng took out the Magic Crystals he had earned from selling Ice Resistance Gemstones in the Snow Ruin.
