Orc Empire, Silverwing Town:
After escaping the encirclement of the Dark Players, Shifeng immediately returned to Ling Yi's Residence in Silverwing Town to deal with the NPC merchants' transportation and purchase of goods.
Although the trade route had already been opened, players and NPC soldiers had to work together to collect fees from NPCs. In addition, players had to inspect the NPC merchants' goods before they could purchase the goods. Hence, a considerable amount of manpower was required to complete these tasks.
Moreover, when purchasing items from NPC merchants, players needed to have a certain level of understanding of these products. They also needed specialized personnel to carry out the task.
However, as soon as Shifeng returned to the Guild Residence, he noticed that the Guild Residence was in an uproar. Everyone was happily chatting with each other.
"Guild Leader, you're finally back! Everyone's talking about you right now!" Shiuse Qiangwei said excitedly when he saw Shifeng. "Due to your performance in the Secret Stone Fortress and your battle record of repelling thousands of dark adventurer teams with a single hit, many people have already labeled you as the Orc Empire's number one Swordsman. Although some people have objected to your claim, saying that you don't live up to your reputation and that you'll only know after you fight them, due to this matter, more players from the neighboring kingdoms are trying to join our Ling Yi Society. In addition, some well-known experts from other kingdoms have also tried to challenge you. However, Fire Dance and the others have accepted their challenges.
"Famous experts from other kingdoms are challenging me?" Shifeng could not help but laugh. "This is a good thing."
He had never imagined that he would have such a development after the battle in the Secret Stone Fortress.
Previously, although many people had tried to challenge him in the Starmoon Kingdom, they had only been limited to the Starmoon Kingdom. Now, however, players from other kingdoms wanted to challenge him. This meant that his fame in the neighboring kingdoms had already reached a considerable level. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of so many famous experts.
This was great news for Silverwing Town.
"Aqua, from today onward, set up a challenge arena in the Battle Arena specifically for those who wish to challenge me. However, there is a limit to the challenge. Every challenge will cost 5 Gold. If they win, they'll receive 20 Gold. As long as they can obtain ten consecutive victories in this challenge arena, I'll accept their challenge. As for the people who will face them, choose from the members of our main force," Shifeng said.
"I understand." Shiuse Qiangwei's eyes glowed with excitement.
By doing so, not only would the Battle Arena become more popular, but they would also earn more money. They could also train their main force. This was killing three birds with one stone.
"Smile, how are the All-rounded Devices and Elven Silver coming along?" Shifeng asked A Smile as he turned to look at the Guild leader beside him.
Before he left for the trade route quest, he had left the matter of the All-rounded Device and Elven Silver to Melancholic Smile.
The All-rounded Device was an item he had created himself. He could produce as many of the designs as he wanted. Only, the success rate of others producing the All-rounded Device was lower than his own. In addition, the production cost was slightly higher. Hence, he had not allowed anyone else to produce the device.
However, now that his forging techniques had improved, and he had A Smile as a Master Forger, mass-producing the All-rounded Device was not impossible.
"Currently, only I have a slightly higher success rate in producing the All-rounded Device. So far, I've produced 53 All-rounded Devices. We're still quite a distance away from reaching 200. However, Cocoa has already been promoted to a Master Forger in Titan City. With her help, I believe we can gather 200 All-rounded Devices within a day. As for the Elven Silver, we've already produced over 200 bottles. We can deliver them to you at any time," A Melancholy Smile reported happily.
"Cocoa has been promoted to a Master Forger as well?" Shifeng could not help his joy.
No matter where one went, Master Lifestyle players were highly sought after by the various major powers, not to mention forgers, one of the three main classes. Now that Cream Cocoa had become a Master Forger, the Candlelight Trading Firm's strength would rise to a whole new level.
Although Candlelight had two Master Forgers in the past, as the Guild Leader, he was always busy. He simply did not have the time to do so. Meanwhile, A Melancholy Smile had to manage Candlelight, so he had very little time to produce All-rounded Devices. On the other hand, Cocoa had no one to manage her. She could focus entirely on forging.
"Guild Leader, that's not all. While you were away on your quest, the Ice Crystal World sent us a large batch of rare materials. I kept some of the unique materials and sold the rest to the various kingdoms and empires in batches. A portion of them were sold as merchandise. After deducting the cost of the merchandise we sent to the Ice Crystal World, we've earned over 53,000 Gold," A Melancholy Smile reported.
"So much?" Shifeng was slightly astonished when he heard A Melancholy Smile's report.
He had only been away from the Ice Crystal World for a few days. Before he left, he had emptied the two NPC cities' stockpiles of rare materials. He had never thought that he would accumulate so much more in such a short time.
He had to admit that the wealth he could earn from obtaining rare materials from Otherworlds was truly frightening.
Of course, part of the reason for this was due to the Asura Adventurers and the Adventurer's Alliance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to collect so many rare materials from the Ice Crystal World so easily.
Moreover, these were only two NPC cities in the Ice Crystal World. If they could conquer the entire Ice Crystal World, the wealth they could earn would most likely be far greater than the Secret Pavilion's Magic Crystal vein.
It was no wonder why the various superpowers were fighting so fiercely over the Ice Crystal World, while third-rate and second-rate Guilds could only watch from the sidelines.
"Alright, I understand." After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng turned to Shiuse Qiangwei and said, "Aqua, contact the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Soul's Unyielding Heart immediately. Tell them that the items they requested will arrive by tomorrow. If they don't have enough Magic Crystals, they can pay with Coins."
"I'll notify them right away," Shiuse Qiangwei said, nodding.
After making the necessary arrangements, Shifeng made his way to Silverwing Town's Advanced Smithy.
At this moment, the Advanced Smithy was packed with players. Most of these players were here to disassemble unwanted equipment and use the materials to customize new equipment.
Although the Ling YI Society only received 10% of the profits, disassembling a piece of Bronze Equipment earned him anywhere from 10 Copper to 15 Copper, disassembling a piece of Mysterious-Iron Equipment earned him 20 Copper to 30 Copper, Secret-Silver Equipment earned him 40 Copper to 50 Copper, Fine-Gold Equipment earned him 70 Copper to 80 Copper, and Dark-Gold Equipment earned him between 1 Silver and 1 Silver, 50 Copper.
Although the Advanced Smithy did not earn much, it still earned over 300 Gold per day. Including the cost of repairing the equipment, the Advanced Smithy earned over 400 Gold per day. Moreover, this was only the money they earned from disassembling and repairing the equipment. As players reached higher levels, the reputation of the Advanced Smithy would gradually spread. At that time, it was not impossible for the Advanced Smithy to earn one or two thousand Gold per day.
After inspecting the Advanced Smithy and repairing his equipment, Shifeng used a Return Scroll and left White River City for Star-Moon City's Adventurer's Association.
"Lord Protector, how may I be of service?" the NPC senior administrator asked as he looked at Shifeng, who was seated in a VIP reception room.
"I wish to construct a Transportation Firm in Silverwing Town. Here is the design. I hope that you can have it completed as soon as possible," Shifeng said as he placed the Transportation Firm Design on the NPC's table.
Previously, due to his lack of funds, he had been able to set aside the Transportation Firm's construction. However, now that he had the funds, he naturally had to construct the Transportation Firm as soon as possible.
"That won't be a problem. The total construction cost will be 20,000 Gold," the NPC senior administrator nodded after confirming that there were no problems with the design.
Shifeng then took out 20,000 Gold and handed it to the NPC senior administrator.
