After the Shifeng paid the 10,000 Gold and 100,000 Magic Crystals, a magic barrier appeared in Cold Wind City's central plaza, teleporting players out of the plaza.
"What's going on?"
"Why can't we enter the central plaza?"
"That shouldn't be the case, right?"
"No! We really can't get in! We can't even see what's inside! "
The players standing outside the central plaza grew curious as they looked at the pitch-black magic barrier.
At the same time, the sound of a system notification reached the ears of every player in Cold Wind City.
System Announcement: Asura Adventurers will construct a teleportation gate in the central plaza. Players may use the teleportation gate to travel to the border fortress. Detailed information will be announced on the central plaza's announcement board.
The system announcement repeated three times, echoing in the ears of every player in Cold Wind City.
"What's going on? A teleportation gate? Can we teleport to another region? "
"I don't think so."
"Is there anyone in the central plaza? Can someone explain? "
"I just finished looking at it. The Asura Adventurers are amazing! They've constructed a teleportation gate that can teleport us to a Level 60-plus map! Moreover, this teleportation gate leads to the Snow Ruin! We won't have to run all the way to the Snow Ruin!"
"Crap! Won't we have a much easier time leveling up in the future? "
…
For a time, Cold Wind City's independent players grew excited. As players who had lived in Cold Wind City for a long time, there was nothing more troublesome than traveling. Now that they had access to a teleportation gate, they could use it to grind and level up. This way, they could level up much faster than before.
While the independent players were overjoyed, the various large Guilds' members wore grim expressions.
While independent players might not know the details of the authority to become the City Lord's representative, the various large Guilds were familiar with the matter. They only needed to do a little research to find out.
Originally, the various large Guilds had thought that they had a chance of reclaiming the position of acting City Lord after a month. Now, however, they had lost all hope. The Asura Adventurers were invincible in Cold Wind City.
The activation of the teleportation gate meant that the Asura Adventurers could start collecting teleportation fees. With these funds, the Adventurers could construct more Advanced Buildings and earn more Contribution Points …
Meanwhile, the Asura adventurer team would have less and less space to live in. In Cold Wind City, the Asura adventurer team had the final say.
"Vice Guild Leader, what should we do now?" Vast Heaven asked Carnage as he read the system notifications in the Snow Ruin's first-floor hall.
Now that the Asura Adventurers had built the portal, it would be difficult for them to compete with the Asura Adventurers even if they completed the Epic Contribution Quests.
"Interesting. I've underestimated this leader of the Asura Adventurers." "However, the Asura Adventurers are wrong if they think that they can contend with Hekati just because they have Cold Wind City. Inform Vulture immediately. It's time for them to take action."
"Let Vulture and the others take action?" Xuan Cang's eyes lit up. "Alright, I'll inform them right away."
…
Inside the City Hall's VIP reception room … After the Shifeng paid the construction fees, the NPC Senior Administrator, Mork Hans, took out a detailed form for the Small Teleportation Gate and had the Shifeng fill it out.
The information on the form was mainly for the Shifeng to determine the price and rank of the Small Teleportation Gate.
In God's Domain, the smaller the teleportation gate, the higher the cost, while the larger the gate, the lower the cost.
Hence, the system had set the minimum price for teleporting to the Snow Ruin at 1 Silver, 50 Copper per person, and a maximum of 5 Silver per person.
Shifeng had set the price to 2 Silver per person. This price was slightly expensive for ordinary players, but it was acceptable for elite players. After all, it would save them a lot of travel time.
At the same time, the system had divided the teleportation members into three ranks. There would be no discount for Normal players, 10% for Silver players, and 20% for Gold players. In other words, the system only charged 1 Silver, 60 Copper per person, 10 Copper more than the lowest price.
Take the Adventurer Alliance's members for example. As long as they reached Silver rank, they would receive Silver treatment and become recognized contributors to the Adventurer Alliance. If they reached Gold rank, they would receive Gold treatment. As for the Asura Adventurers' elite members, they would receive Silver treatment, while the core members would receive Gold treatment.
With this new rule, not only would Cold Wind City's players be more interested in joining the Adventurer Alliance in the future, but they would also contribute more to the Adventurer Alliance. After all, the teleportation gate was simply too convenient. They would definitely use it frequently in the future. Just teleporting to a location as close to the Snow Ruin as possible would save them 20 Copper or 40 Copper. If they teleported to the other three fortresses, they would save even more money.
At that time, the Adventurer Alliance would have a hard time growing stronger in Cold Wind City.
After dealing with the Teleportation Gate, the Shifeng left the City Hall and hurried back to Asura's Residence.
To the Shifeng, constructing the Teleportation Gate was a trivial matter.
His true goal in coming to the Ice Crystal World was to collect Soul Dissolving Flowers.
Despite his best efforts, he had only collected six Soul Dissolving Flowers in Cold Wind City. He was still a long way from reaching 20. Moreover, he had been in the Ice Crystal World for quite some time now. Every player or Guild in Cold Wind City that owned a Soul Dissolving Flower should've done so already. Obtaining more Soul Dissolving Flowers wouldn't be possible in a short time.
If he wanted to obtain more Soul Dissolving Flowers quickly and complete the Philosopher's Hand's quest, he would have to travel to other regions' cities to collect them.
When he returned to Asura's Residence's courtyard, he was greeted by a celebratory atmosphere. When the Shifeng's team leader appeared, everyone felt deep respect for him.
"Commander, you're back!"
"Greetings, Commander!"
…
The Shifeng didn't dare linger when he saw the crowd surrounding him. He could only nod in response before hurriedly entering the Residence.
"Commander, I've gathered the people you asked me to. Aside from the 500 experts from the Asura Adventurers, the others are Advanced Lifestyle players from the Adventurer Alliance. In total, we have 700 people," Yan Ya said as she pointed at the rows of people standing in front of her. Yan Ya smiled as she gestured at the rows of players in the hall. "With this, we won't lose to the well-known adventurer teams in other NPC cities."
Establishing a foothold in other NPC cities wasn't an easy task for both Guilds and adventurer teams. After all, they had to compete with the local Guilds and adventurer teams. However, with 500 expert players, Shi Feng's team could easily rival a large-scale adventurer team with two or three thousand members. In NPC cities, however, large-scale adventurer teams were rare. In addition, there were also plenty of Advanced Lifestyle players. Even if Shi Feng couldn't purchase good equipment from the local Guilds and adventurer teams, he could still obtain materials from killing monsters for Lifestyle players to produce.
As long as the Asura Adventurers could survive in other NPC cities for a while, they could send more players to Cold Wind City, allowing the Asura Adventurers to grow stronger.
"Wonderful! Fortunately, I've grown a lot stronger recently. I've also gotten a piece of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. With this, I can travel to other cities with the commander and have some fun."
"I know, right? If we head to the other cities to develop, our Contribution Points will increase by 50%, and our GCPs will increase by 15%. By the time the others arrive, I might even be promoted to Bronze rank."
The team members chatted among themselves as they looked at the Shifeng.
