"Get promoted to a 4-star Guild? That won't be a problem. " The senior administrator turned to look at the purple-gold token on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Lord Protector, are you really going to use this Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order?"
"What's wrong with the Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order?" Shifeng asked curiously.
Although Shi Feng noticed that the color of the 4-star Guild Promotion Order in his hand was different from the ones he had obtained in the past, the Attribute Panel displayed was still that of a 4-star Guild Promotion Order. Hence, he did not pay too much attention to it. He assumed that the 4-star Guild Promotion Order would drop slightly different World Bosses.
"Lord Protector, the Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order was created when the Adventurer's Association was established. There are a total of 22 Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders, and they are scattered throughout the continent. They serve as a trial for Adventurer Guilds. The more Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders your Adventurer's Association can collect, the better the Guild's status and treatment will be.
"If your Adventurer's Association collects three Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders, your Adventurer's Association will recognize you as a city-state-level Guild. If you collect seven Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders, your Adventurer's Association will recognize you as a kingdom-level Guild. Lord Protector, you already have one Advanced 4-star Guild. If you collect two more, your Adventurer's Association will recognize you as a city-state-level Guild.
"However, if your Adventurer's Association chooses to promote your Guild now, you will miss this opportunity forever. Are you sure you wish to use this Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order now?"
After listening to the NPC senior administrator's explanation, Shifeng could not help his surprise as he looked at the purple-gold token on the table.
"So, there is such a way to raise a Guild's status in the Adventurer's Association." Shifeng was very familiar with the Adventurer's Association's status. This was something that Guilds would only learn about and value after they became 4-star Guilds.
After a Guild became a 4-star Guild, it would establish a path through the Adventurer's Association and obtain a temporary Residence in every Adventurer's Association on the continent of God's Domain. This way, Guild members would no longer be restricted to a single location and could expand their development across the continent, greatly increasing their members' EXP and income.
To put it bluntly, the so-called 'passageway' referred to obtaining the Adventurer's Association's recognition of a Guild's strength and becoming an official Guild of the Adventurer's Association. However, the Adventurer's Association's Guilds also received different treatment from the Adventurer's Association.
At the start of a 4-star Guild's promotion, a 4-star Guild would only be an ordinary Guild in the Adventurer's Association. If a Guild wished to receive more support from the Adventurer's Association, it would need to raise its status in the Adventurer's Association. The simplest way to do so was to promote the Guild from Common rank to Town rank, City-state rank, Kingdom rank, or Empire rank.
Depending on the Adventurer's Association's recognition of a Guild's strength, the Adventurer's Association would be able to solve certain problems.
The Normal Mode Guild Quests only dealt with the problems of ordinary civilians. At most, they would earn slightly more EXP. Meanwhile, the large-scale Guild Quests that the Association gave were mainly about dealing with the Demonic Beasts that plagued ordinary civilians.
Meanwhile, at Town rank, the Adventurer's Association would consider the Adventurer's Guild capable of dealing with the problems of an entire town. Normally, the Adventurer's Association would only consider the Adventurer's Guild to be capable of dealing with the problems of an entire town. However, the Adventurer's Association's Guild Quests were far more rewarding than the Normal Mode Guild Quests. Moreover, even if the Adventurer's Guild accepted a Normal Mode Guild's Guild Quests, the Adventurer's Association would still consider the Adventurer's Guild Quests more capable of dealing with the problems of an entire town.
As for Town rank, it was obvious that the Adventurer's Association was already capable of dealing with the problems of a large area, such as the Dark Force's Crusade.
Normally, a Guild needed to complete a large number of large-scale Guild Quests in order to get promoted from Common rank to Town rank. The Guild would slowly accumulate Reputation in the Adventurer's Association, but each large-scale Guild Quest only provided three to five points of Reputation. Meanwhile, upgrading a Guild to Town rank required roughly 700 to 1,000 Reputation Points. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to upgrade a Guild to Town rank.
After all, depending on the size of an NPC city, the number of large-scale Guild Quests a Guild could accept would also vary. Hence, the more prosperous an NPC city was, the more Reputation a Guild needed to upgrade.
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng said, "Sorry to trouble you. I choose to upgrade my Guild to 4-star immediately."
The Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order's effects were indeed frightening. With just one Guild Promotion Order, a Guild could become a Town-level Guild. With three, a Guild could become a City-state-level Guild, and with seven, a Guild could become a kingdom-level Guild. If a Guild wanted to upgrade itself normally, it would most likely take several years. This was especially true for City-state-level Guilds. Many large Guilds would never reach that level in their entire lives.
If a Guild wanted to become a City-state-level Guild, it needed to complete a large-scale Promotion Quest. The difficulty of such a quest was enough to drive many large Guilds to despair. Normally, only a small number of second-rate Guilds could complete such a quest. However, now that Shi Feng had collected three Promotion Tokens, he could become a City-state-level Guild. As for becoming a kingdom-level Guild, only a small number of first-rate Guilds could complete such a quest.
However, Shi Feng did not have the time to search for other Advanced 4-star Promotion Tokens. Most importantly, he did not know where he could obtain one. Even if he knew that a World Boss would drop one, he had only managed to kill the Flame Demon King due to luck. If he tried to raid a Mythic World Boss now, he would be suicidal.
"Since Lord Protector has made up your mind, the Residence reconstruction fee and processing fee for your Guild's promotion will be 60,000 Gold! However, as Lord Protector, we can give you a discount of 10,000 Gold. You will only need to pay a total of 50,000 Gold, "the NPC senior administrator said after making some calculations.
"Fifty thousand Gold? Shouldn't the promotion to a 4-star Guild only cost 12,000 Gold? "Shifeng had originally intended to fork out more money. However, he could not help but be shocked by the NPC's price.
If not for his status as a Protector, the promotion fee would have increased by five times. Now, however, it had increased by more than four times …
"As you are using an Advanced 4-star Promotion Order, we have a lot of work to do. We also need to notify the various nobles in the various cities and officially announce the establishment of the Ling YI Society. Hence, the processing fee is higher," the NPC senior administrator explained.
"How ruthless." Shifeng could not help feeling frustrated. However, when he thought about the fact that he could become a City-level Guild, these costs were already relatively cheap. It was the equivalent of using money to buy time. Immediately, he took out 50,000 Gold from his bag and handed it over.
While he had been busy questing, Feng Qianyu and Unyielding Heart had already paid for the materials and the final payment, earning him 120,000 Gold. Otherwise, he would not have had the extra money to pay the promotion fee.
