Frozen City, Central Main Street:
After the Asura Adventurers escaped Hekati's pursuit, Shifeng had his members wear Black Cloaks and enter Frozen City in batches to collect information about the city.
Meanwhile, Shifeng led Yan Ya to Frozen City's City Hall.
"Commander, Frozen City is so prosperous. It can practically look down on the continent of God's Domain's capital cities," Yan Ya exclaimed as she looked out of the carriage's window.
Unlike in Cold Wind City, the majority of these hawkers were Lifestyle players, and they sold all sorts of Level 50 weapons and equipment. Even the weakest of these weapons and equipment was Bronze rank, while the better ones were Secret-Silver rank. Such items were absolutely impossible to find in Cold Wind City. Meanwhile, Shops lined both sides of the street. The prosperity of Cold Wind City's commerce could rival that of a kingdom's capital city.
Moreover, compared to Cold Wind City's players, Frozen City's players were clearly stronger. Practically all of the mainstream players on the streets were Level 52 or above, and most of them were fully geared in Level 50 Mysterious-Iron Equipment. There were also plenty of Level 53 expert players, and most of them wore multiple pieces of Secret-Silver Equipment. Some independent players even wore Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment …
"It is indeed prosperous. The standard of independent Lifestyle players here far surpasses that of a kingdom's capital cities." When Shifeng looked at the Lifestyle players on the streets, he noticed that none of them wore a Guild Emblem. They weren't Guild members, yet they could produce Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. Their standards were much higher than those of God's Domain's Lifestyle players. At the very least, in the Starmoon Kingdom, Candlelight was the only Lifestyle player capable of producing Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment. "By the looks of it, Frozen City should be one of the Ice Crystal World's main cities."
"Main city?" This was the first time Yan Ya had heard of this term.
"That's right, it's a main city. You can think of an Otherworld as a kingdom or empire. Although Otherworlds aren't unified, there are still cities similar to kingdoms and imperial capitals, which are called main cities. These main cities serve as the hub for the surrounding regions. However, Otherworlds have more than one main city. Depending on the size of the Otherworld, there are three to seven main cities. A city as large as Frozen City should be a main city," Shifeng explained.
Based on his previous investigations, Frozen City's player population far exceeded Cold Wind City's, reaching a total of 8,000,000 players. This was not something an ordinary city could achieve. Frozen City's player population was even higher than White River City's. In addition, Frozen City had recently opened up a path to two other cities. At the same time, Frozen City also possessed maps that led to several other regions. These maps proved that Frozen City was the main city of the Ice Crystal World.
Originally, Shifeng had thought that they would arrive in an ordinary city similar to Cold Wind City. He had never imagined that they would arrive in a main city. This was a pleasant surprise for Shifeng.
Compared to the kingdoms and imperial capitals on the continent of God's Domain, Main Cities in Otherworlds were much more important. This was because, in Otherworlds, players had to pass through Main Cities in order to travel to other cities. Unlike kingdoms and empires, players could teleport directly to other cities.
In addition, if players wished to connect to other major regions, they would have to connect to other main cities in the region they were in. Ordinary cities in the region they were in had no way of connecting to other major regions.
Due to this reason, Main Cities in Otherworlds were extremely important. At the same time, it was much more difficult to control a Main City than an ordinary city. However, as long as one could occupy a Main City, they would be able to claim a significant portion of the Otherworld's resources. It was no exaggeration to say that the various large Guilds would fight over these Main Cities.
Now that Shi Feng had arrived at Frozen City before the various large Guilds in the Black Dragon Empire, he had grasped a considerable advantage.
Finally, after riding a horse carriage for over 20 minutes, Shifeng and Yan Ya arrived at Frozen City's City Hall.
At this moment, many merchant players were shopping for Shops in the City Hall. Meanwhile, some players were chatting and laughing in the lounge area.
"You heard? Hekati ambushed an adventurer team in the Snow Rift. In the end, not only did they lose several thousand elite players, but nearly half of the adventurer team's members also escaped. "
"Of course, I've heard about it. I even know that the adventurer team is called Asura. I heard that it's an adventurer team from Cold Wind City, which Hekati is trying to occupy."
"The Asura Adventurers are so powerful. They actually managed to defeat Hekati. Just who are they?"
"I've also heard that the Asura Adventurers' commander is a monster. He's over three meters tall, and his arms are several times thicker than our thighs. He even single-handedly wiped out a Vulture Party. In addition, he also killed several thousand of Hekati's elite players. He killed Tier 2 experts as easily as slaughtering dogs."
"That guy really is a monster. It's no wonder why the Vulture Party was annihilated."
There was nothing new under the sun. Hekati's 40,000-man army had already caused a huge commotion when they ambushed an adventurer team. Now, they had lost several thousand players. This secret could no longer be kept a secret. Very quickly, the incident became a hot topic among players throughout Frozen City.
"Commander, they seem to be talking about you." Yan Ya, who was passing by, could not help but sneak glances at Xiang Shifeng with a smile.
"Am I that big?" Shifeng was speechless when he heard the players' discussions. The more they spread, the more exaggerated they became.
Hekati's operation had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the Asura Adventurers. However, they had also reaped a significant harvest. Now that everyone was talking about this incident, the Asura Adventurers' Reputation in Frozen City had increased significantly.
Following which, Shifeng arrived at the second-floor hall and revealed his City Protector title.
"Lord Protector, may I know how I can help you?" a high-ranking NPC administrator asked as he walked over to Shi Feng.
"I wish to purchase a plot of Land in the city," Shifeng said.
"Very well. These are the available Lands in the city right now." Following which, the senior administrator took out a map of Frozen City. On the map, the Lands marked in green indicated that no one had purchased them yet, while the Lands marked in red indicated that they had already been purchased.
Looking at the city map, Shifeng could not help but smile.
Sure enough, no one has made a move on the Lands on that street. Shifeng looked at the Old Town area in the city's outer area. The streets were marked in green, and no one paid any attention to them.
Since God's Domain's launch, the various large Guilds had long since purchased the important Lands in both the main continent and Otherworlds' NPC cities. There were no good spots left.
However, there was something different in Otherworlds' NPC cities, and that was the Old Town streets of the main cities.
In Otherworlds, only main cities could teleport to other main cities. It was similar to the teleportation between kingdoms on the main continent. Players had to pass through the capital city to teleport to other main cities.
In Otherworlds' main cities, the so-called "connecting to other main cities" did not refer to opening up the road on the map. Instead, it referred to opening up a flight route between the main cities. Flying ships could then travel from one main city to another. Meanwhile, the flight route would be the main city's Old Town area. So long as the flight route was opened, an airport would be constructed in the main city's Old Town area. At that time, the airport would connect players from two main regions.
In the past, the various large Guilds in Otherworlds had not known about the Old Town's Old Town area. Instead, some merchant players had made a fortune by purchasing the Old Town area.
Currently, practically all the Lands near the airport in the Old Town area were empty. This was a massive business opportunity.
"Lord Protector, may I know which plot of Land you wish to purchase? I can provide you with a detailed introduction," the NPC administrator asked when he noticed that Shi Feng hadn't responded even after a long time had passed.
