"An Advanced Smithy?" A Melancholy Smile could not help her surprise when she saw the thick design's Attribute Panel from Shifeng's hands.
She already knew a lot about Advanced Buildings.
Every Advanced Building had capabilities that ordinary buildings could not compare to. Moreover, they all had their own unique features, making them extremely difficult to obtain.
However, the materials and space required for an Advanced Smithy were simply outrageous.
Not only did it require 2,000 pieces of Mana Ore, but it also required 1,000 Advanced Magic Cores and 500 Earthfire Crystals.
Ling YI Society had collected quite a lot of Mana Ore during this time. However, it was still a little difficult to obtain 2,000 of them in one go. As for Advanced Magic Cores, they were even more valuable. They were rare materials that only Bosses in 50-man or more Team Dungeons had a chance of dropping.
Currently, Advanced Magic Cores sold for five Gold each on the market. 1,000 Advanced Magic Cores would cost 5,000 Gold …
As for Earthfire Crystals, they were even more valuable. Dungeons did not drop them, and they could only be obtained in the fields. They were one of the main materials used to produce Advanced Fire Resistance equipment. Each Earthfire Crystal cost around five Gold. However, due to its rarity, it could not be purchased even if one had the money. The Guild could only rely on its members to collect them bit by bit.
Even now, the Guild's stockpile had less than 700 Earthfire Crystals, yet Shi Feng wanted 500 of them.
In addition, the construction of the Advanced Smithy would cost 10,000 Magic Crystals.
After a rough calculation, Shi Feng estimated that he would need around 30,000 Gold to construct the Advanced Smithy …
Currently, Ling YI Society was rapidly developing. It needed money in all aspects. If not for Ling Yi City's existence, the Guild wouldn't even be able to make ends meet. Hence, it was unwise to spend over 30,000 Gold to construct an Advanced Smithy.
However, even if A Melancholy Smile wanted to say something, the Shifeng had already arranged for the construction work. As for the materials, they had long since collected them. Now, they only needed 50 Advanced Architects to construct the Advanced Smithy.
Although some of the Guild's main force members had died in the battle against the two adventurer teams and lost over 20 pieces of equipment, as the victors, they had reaped more rewards.
Both the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw's members were elites among elites. Their equipment was excellent. Only, it was slightly inferior to Ling Yi's.
It was a little lacking, but quantity could make up for quality.
From this battle alone, Ling Yi had obtained over 400 pieces of Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment and 60 pieces of Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment.
After deducting the compensation and rewards, Ling Yi had earned over 10,000 Gold. However, that amount of Gold was hardly enough to purchase so many pieces of top-tier equipment at this stage of the game.
Although these profits couldn't completely cover the cost of building the Advanced Smithy, it was still very useful.
This was because any Advanced Construction could greatly increase a town's prosperity and popularity.
Now that Silverwing Town's basic construction and security measures had been taken care of, the only thing left to do was to increase its popularity and prosperity.
However, constructing an Advanced Smithy wasn't easy. Not only did it require an Advanced Architect, but it also required a player with Advanced Magic Arrays. Constructing an Advanced Smithy required many magic arrays.
For a moment, the Shifeng engraved magic arrays on the walls and floors.
Meanwhile, from the outside, Silverwing Town's outer area had suddenly been fenced off, as if someone was constructing something. This development immediately attracted the attention of many resting players.
Currently, Silverwing Town had become the most lively town in the Ore Empire. Many Guild members who came to the Ore Empire to level up or raid fortresses would rest in Silverwing Town. Even if they were far from the fortress they were raiding, they would still choose to rest in Silverwing Town.
Resting in Silverwing Town would grant players the Double EXP buff, which would be of great help in leveling up. In addition, Silverwing Town also had the Battle Arena.
The Battle Arena's high-Mana environment wasn't a big deal. More importantly, the Orc Empire's players came from various kingdoms and empires to level up. When experts from different places fought and exchanged pointers, it would be of great help to the Orc Empire's players. Moreover, there were plenty of business opportunities.
Silverwing Town had already become the Ore Empire's number one town. If not for the town's limited space, the town's player population would've easily exceeded 1.5 million.
"Hah! Silverwing Town is already crowded enough. Now that we finally have a large empty space, we have to build more houses. "
"That's right! With so many houses being built, the town's capacity is decreasing. I wonder if I'll be able to squeeze in tomorrow. "
The players resting outside the bar frowned as they looked at the gymnasium-sized building.
Due to Silverwing Town's excessive player population, the Ling YI Society had adjusted the rules to ensure the town's normal operation. Aside from the Ling YI Society's members, players on the streets could only stay in Silverwing Town for ten hours. If they did not leave after ten hours, the NPC guards would forcibly escort them out or kill them.
Even so, Silverwing Town was still crowded. In the end, the town's population was limited to 800,000. If players wanted to enter the town, they would have to leave first. However, as the number of buildings in Silverwing Town increased, the limit on the number of people allowed in would decrease.
Time passed quickly. By the time Shifeng finished engraving the final core magic array, it took him eight hours to complete. Meanwhile, the 50 Advanced Architects had only spent four hours to complete the Advanced Smithy.
"It's finally done." Shifeng sighed ruefully as he looked at the three-story, 20-meter-tall smithy.
Compared to the four-meter-tall, single-story smithy, the Advanced Smithy before him was definitely high-end. He could tell this from its appearance alone. As for its interior, it was even more impressive.
As Shi Feng had personally engraved the magic array, he knew a little about the magic array's functions.
Not only could the Advanced Smithy before him be used to repair and customize weapons and equipment, but it also had the ability to disassemble weapons and equipment. Unlike disassembling materials for Enchantments, the Advanced Smithy disassembled a portion of the usable materials for crafting other weapons and equipment. Although the recovery rate wasn't very high, it was still better than selling the materials directly to NPCs.
Once this function was available, countless players would flock to the Advanced Smithy to disassemble materials. Meanwhile, the Advanced Smithy could collect a certain processing fee.
"Alright, let's open it now!" Shifeng clicked on the Advanced Smithy's system menu and chose to open the Advanced Smithy.
As the surrounding magic array disappeared, a 20-meter-tall building appeared before everyone's eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of a system notification reached Shifeng's ears.
System: Silverwing Town's Popularity and Security Level have met the requirements to be promoted to an Intermediate Town. Do you wish to promote it?
"Wonderful! It's just as I guessed! "
