Stone Forest City's appearance instantly alarmed every player in the Undead Forest.
Originally, Stone Forest Town had occupied only a small portion of the magic barrier. Now, however, Stone Forest City occupied nearly half of the magic barrier.
Although the city's walls were ordinary, they were still over six meters tall and encased the entire Stone Forest City. In addition, the divine runes carved into the walls made it impossible for players to climb over them. Unless players destroyed the walls, they could only enter and leave through the city's main entrance. The city's defensive capabilities were far superior to Guild Towns and Cities.
Moreover, not only did Stone Forest City possess sturdy walls, but even the buildings inside had undergone significant transformations. Ling Yi's Residence, in particular, had become a 60-meter-tall Guild Hall. It was a spectacular sight, and even players several thousand yards away could see it clearly.
Aside from Ling Yi's Guild Hall, Ling Yi's Auction House had received the most improvements.
Originally, Ling Yi's Auction House had been an Advanced Construction. After Stone Forest Town had been upgraded into Stone Forest City, the Auction House had returned to its original appearance.
The Auction House now stood on the main street, its size even surpassing that of an ordinary NPC city's Auction House.
Moreover, the Auction House wasn't the only change. The other buildings on the main street had also received significant improvements.
"Isn't Stone Forest City a little too prosperous?!" Purple Jade couldn't believe her eyes as she gazed at the towering Stone Forest City before her.
Ordinary players might not have seen many Guild Cities in God's Domain, but as a core member of the Secret Pavilion, she had seen plenty of them. She had even personally inspected one herself.
However, compared to the Guild Cities she had seen, Stone Forest City was clearly superior. It was even more spectacular than the Ling YI Society's Ling Yi City. It didn't seem like a new city at all.
Purple Jade wasn't the only one surprised. Even Easy Wind, who had accompanied her on this trip, was stupefied.
A Guild City's development had always been gradual. The information the Secret Pavilion had obtained had proven this fact. However, Stone Forest City didn't follow the rules at all …
"Although I don't know what's going on, the fact that Stone Forest City can reach such a level means that our chances of defending it have increased significantly." Yuan Tiexin hurriedly commanded as he glanced at the various towering buildings. "Notify the headquarters immediately and have them rush over through the temporary teleportation array. We need to finish setting up the defenses in Stone Forest City before the various superpowers arrive."
In God's Domain, the more prosperous a Guild City was, the more NPC soldiers it could hire. Among these factors, the degree of construction a Guild City had could reflect a city's prosperity to a large extent.
This way, Stone Forest City would have an advantage over other new cities when it came to recruiting NPC soldiers. After all, there was a massive difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 NPCs. Tier 2 NPC soldiers' combat power would be affected by the city's prosperity. The more prosperous a city was, the higher their combat standards would be.
Some of the Tier 2 NPCs in the first few Guild Cities to be promoted had combat standards that could even rival late-stage experts at the Trial Tower's fifth floor. In addition, the NPCs' Basic Attributes and levels were higher than Tier 2 NPCs'. Hence, killing Tier 2 experts was child's play for these NPCs.
Stone Forest City might not be as powerful as the older cities, where NPC soldiers could exhibit combat standards at the Trial Tower's fifth floor's late stage, but they should have no problems exhibiting combat standards at the fifth floor's early stage. They might even reach the fifth floor's middle stage.
If Stone Forest City had a group of such Tier 2 NPC soldiers, it could form a frightening combat power.
This was also why the various superpowers were desperately trying to secure Stone Forest City.
Currently, Stone Forest City had just been promoted. Its defenses were at their weakest right now. If they waited until it was fully fledged, they'd have to pay dozens of times the price to capture it.
In response to Yuan Tiexin and the others' curiosity about how Stone Forest City had become so prosperous after being promoted, Shifeng did not bother to explain. Instead, he simply chuckled and entered Stone Forest City through the city's main entrance.
If an ordinary Advanced Town had been promoted to a Basic City, the promotion would've been similar to other Guild Cities. At most, the city would've grown larger and gained a tall wall.
However, Stone Forest City had been promoted through a Gold Promotion Order. Hence, after the promotion, all of the city's buildings would be strengthened. This was one of the hidden benefits of a Gold Promotion Order.
After everyone followed Shifeng into Stone Forest City, the Secret Pavilion's members weren't the only ones stunned. Even the Ling YI Society's members revealed expressions of ecstasy.
Despite the Mana Tower's support, Stone Forest City's Mana density was so high that it was double that of Stone Forest Town's.
In everyone's eyes, Stone Forest Town had already become a cultivation holy land. The town had improved players' five senses by 10%, allowing them to achieve twice the results with half the effort. Now, however, the town had improved players' five senses by more than 15%.
Although it might seem like a 5% increase, the higher a player's five senses were, the more difficult it would be to improve them. At the same time, it would be more helpful to players. A 5% increase could increase their training efficiency by at least 30%.
"If an ordinary player trained here, they'd likely reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor in less than a month." Purple Jade's breathing quickened when she felt the effects of the Mana Tower.
Ordinary players might not know how difficult it was to reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor, nor how much time and effort it would take to reach the fifth floor. However, as a power like the Secret Pavilion, the Secret Pavilion specialized in analyzing data and researching how players could improve themselves.
Normally, even talented players would need two or three months to reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be for ordinary players.
However, in Stone Forest Town, Purple Jade was almost certain that ordinary players could reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor within a month as long as they worked hard enough.
After all, improving one's five senses was the equivalent of lowering one's learning difficulty. Learning college-level knowledge might be difficult for most people, but what about learning high-school knowledge?
One could easily imagine how much of a help this would be to players, not to mention the various powers in God's Domain.
Not only were superpowers wealthy, but they also had excellent training systems and specialized research teams that could nurture an endless stream of experts and improve players' strength.
The various superpowers had spent countless resources to improve their players' strength quickly. However, the results had never been ideal. Moreover, very few players had enjoyed such benefits. However, Stone Forest City was a natural training ground. Not only were its training effects amazing, but it could also accommodate a large number of players.
Even current Super Guilds would shudder at the thought of having an entire Guild filled with experts who had reached the Trial Tower's fifth floor or higher.
While the Secret Pavilion and Ling YI Society's members rejoiced, a massive commotion came from a forest a short distance away from Stone Forest City. The noise echoed throughout half of the forest.
In the next moment, three flaming elephants emerged from the forest, each one over a hundred meters tall. The flames burning on their bodies steamed the air around them. The frightening aura they radiated indicated that they were Mythic monsters.
