"An Advanced Manager?" Shifeng was ecstatic when he heard Claude's words.
In God's Domain, managers were similar to nobles in towns and cities. They had certain authority over a portion of the town's Shops and could influence the town's development. However, an NPC town had more than one manager. Just like the battle on Thunder Island, many managers could manage the town together.
An Advanced Manager's authority was even higher than an ordinary manager's. They were akin to the town's representative and could manage the town's main buildings, such as the Auction House, Teleportation Hall, Adventurer's Association, and other important buildings.
Although the Advanced Manager's Guild Town and Fortress could not compare to the Guild Town and Fortress he occupied, the Advanced Manager's Guild Town and Fortress was much safer than any other Guild Town and Fortress.
Take the Secret Stone Fortress for example. As long as Level 100 NPCs guarded the Secret Stone Fortress, even the Evil Demon army wouldn't be able to stop them. Unless an event happened that reduced the NPCs' levels, they wouldn't be able to take down the fortress.
"Lord Claude, may I know if I have to pay the 60,000 Gold now?" Shi Feng could not help but ask.
Sixty thousand gold coins was not a small amount, especially now that he had spent most of the gold coins he had on hand. He didn't have much money left.
"Sixty thousand Gold is indeed a large sum. Moreover, the Secret Stone Fortress will require some time to repair," Claude said. "The kingdom's army will take four days to arrive from the kingdom. You just need to gather the 60,000 Gold within four days."
System: "Secret Stone Fortress" Quest triggered. You need to gather 60,000 Gold within four days. If you fail, you will lose the opportunity to become the Secret Stone Fortress's Advanced Manager.
"Thank goodness!" Shifeng breathed out a sigh of relief.
To ordinary first-rate Guilds, gathering 60,000 Gold within four days was extremely difficult. They might even have to sell some Shops and Lands. However, it wasn't difficult for Shi Feng.
He had already reached an agreement with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion and Unyielding Soul. These two super-first-rate Guilds were very interested in the Dark Corrosion Set. In addition, he had already signed a contract with the All-rounded Devices and Elven Silver. When he sold the All-rounded Devices and Elven Silver, he would use a portion of the Coins as payment. The two Guilds would definitely be delighted. In addition, the trade route to Silverwing Town had already been opened.
After speaking with Claude, the Shifeng immediately made his way to Silverwing Town.
Although it wouldn't be difficult to gather 60,000 Gold in four days, he needed far more than that.
After completing the Orc King's Ambition mission, he had obtained the most precious Starmoon Kingdom Port Building Order. He had even obtained the blueprint for a Transportation Firm. These two items were treasures that could not be bought with money.
The Starmoon Kingdom's Port Building Order was equivalent to a certificate of qualification. It gave one the right to open up a flight route. Building a flight port required a large sum of money. Fortunately, a flight port did not require a special design. As long as one had the money, they could build it.
Even so, the construction of a Small Flying Port still cost 50,000 Gold.
As long as he could establish a trade route, not only would NPC merchants have a much easier time transporting goods to Silverwing Town, but even Star-Moon Kingdom's players would have a much easier time traveling to Silverwing Town. Although the trade route wasn't as fast as the teleportation array, it was much faster than using Land Mounts. Moreover, it was much cheaper than using the teleportation array.
In the past, many superpowers had developed their Guild Cities into Advanced Main Cities in neutral maps thanks to the existence of flight ports. Many first-rate Guilds, for example, had only managed to develop their Guild Cities to the standard of an ordinary Main City at most. They had never been able to develop their Guild Cities into Advanced Main Cities.
Only first-rate Guilds that had obtained the right to travel to neutral maps had been able to develop their Guild Cities into Advanced Main Cities.
After all, a Guild Town with and without a flight port was on a completely different level when it came to increasing the Guild Town's Popularity and prosperity.
Not only would a flight port allow NPC merchants to enter Guild Towns and Cities more easily, but it would also allow them to transport goods. It would take one or two days to transport goods on land, but only a few hours with a flight ship. Moreover, some of God's Domain's large NPC merchant groups only developed in towns and cities with flight ports.
There was also the issue of recruiting NPC soldiers. Neutral maps were too far away, and many NPCs were unwilling to travel to them. However, with a flight port, more NPC soldiers would be willing to travel to Silverwing Town. If a large number of NPC soldiers flocked to Silverwing Town, the safety of Guild Towns and Cities would increase significantly.
Because of this, there was a world of difference between the development speed of Silverwing Town and Silverwing Town.
This was also why Shi Feng had been so envious of Silverwing Town's qualifications to construct a flight port.
There was also the matter of the Transportation Firm's construction, which cost 20,000 Gold. The Transportation Firm would be of great help to players in Silverwing Town. When players completed the Transportation Firm's construction, they would be able to activate Transportation Quests in Silverwing Town. Not only would players earn a lot of Coins from completing these Quests, but they could also accumulate Contribution Points for the Transportation Firm.
To players who couldn't raid high-difficulty Dungeons, the Transportation Firm was an opportunity to obtain top-tier equipment and tools. In fact, the Transportation Firm was several times livelier than an Auction House.
The reason for this was because NPC auctions held once a week was already impressive. However, the Transportation Firm had new items available all the time. Moreover, the more prosperous a city was, the better the items available. Hence, in Shi Feng's previous life, any Guild Town with a Transportation Firm had become a holy land for independent players, bustling with activity from morning to night.
The flight port and the Transportation Firm complemented each other perfectly. If Shi Feng could construct these two structures, he might be able to upgrade Silverwing Town into an Advanced Town in less than a month's time.
However, constructing these structures would cost a lot of Coins. Hence, Shi Feng had to act quickly.
Meanwhile, after the Shifeng left the Secret Stone Fortress, the various dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds hiding some distance away from the fortress turned to stare at the Shifeng.
"Commander, should we attack now?" A Level 54 Assassin asked a Level 54, Tier 2 Ranger as he licked his lips. "By the looks of it, the other adventurer teams and Guilds have already made their move."
Now that the battle had ended, the NPCs that had followed the Shifeng had disappeared. This situation made the Dark Players lurking in the vicinity restless.
Although they had seen how powerful Hei Yan was, compared to the bountiful rewards Dark Soul could offer, they were willing to take the risk and choose the latter.
