"Why is he here?" Shifeng was confused as he looked at Lu Xingluo.
Lu Xingluo was a hedonistic young master. Before joining God's Domain, he most likely hadn't even heard of the virtual gaming world's Super Guilds. He shouldn't have had any dealings with any of them, much less know a Super Guild's Guild Leader.
Shi Feng found it hard to believe that Lu Xingluo was acquainted with Melancholy.
Melancholy was an elusive character. Even the Guild Leaders of Super Guilds had a hard time meeting him, much less Lu Xingluo.
Although Lu Xingluo was the Starline Corporation's heir, he didn't have much authority. On the other hand, Melancholy's Super Guild was a major corporation and had the full support of several major corporations. Lu Xingluo simply couldn't compare to Melancholy.
The two weren't on the same level. It was like the difference between an adult and a child. Even if the child wore luxurious clothes and had a powerful background, at the end of the day, he was still a child.
Meanwhile, Starlink had been developing in the Dark Night Empire's borders, while Thirteen Thrones had been developing in a remote corner of the continent. The two Guilds were extremely far apart.
Yet, now, Lu Xingluo was sitting here and talking to Melancholy.
The moment the Shifeng appeared, the originally calm atmosphere in the room grew tense. Lu Xingluo glared at the Shifeng, shock and anger flashing in his eyes. He also wondered why the Shifeng had appeared here.
In Lu Xingluo's opinion, Shifeng was only Ling Yi's Guild Leader. Even if he was strong, he was only a slightly stronger ant. He was on an entirely different level from the Shifeng.
The Ling YI Society only relied on Stone Forest City to gain the confidence to challenge superpowers. The Guild only had two or three experts, and the Guild's strength wasn't even worth mentioning.
Once the advantage in Stone Forest City wore off, Ling Yi would be nothing more than a grasshopper after autumn.
Yet, Lu Xingluo had appeared here.
"President Hei Yan, please, have a seat." Melancholy was surprised to see Shifeng enter the room. However, he quickly regained his calm and took the initiative to greet the Guild Leader.
"What's going on?" Lu Xingluo was confused when he saw Melancholy taking the initiative to respond to the Shifeng.
Although he was chatting with Li Hen, Li Hen's attitude towards him was neither cold nor warm. However, Li Hen's attitude towards the Shifeng was kind.
"Guild Leader Melancholy, may I know why you have called me here?" Shifeng asked, nodding as he watched Melancholy take the initiative to open the door.
"President Hei Yan is indeed as straightforward as Happy Art said." Smiling, Melancholy pointed to Dragonheart City outside the window and asked, "May I know what President Hei Yan thinks of Dragonheart City?"
"Mystical items are everywhere. It's a holy land for trade," the Shifeng said after some thought.
In the past, Dragonheart City had been one of God's Domain's top trade cities. Every inch of land here was worth its weight in gold. It was one of the main bases for naval players after reaching Tier 3. Dragonheart City was much more prosperous than Thunder Island, a resource-rich land.
This was especially true for Dragonheart City, which was the only large-scale independent NPC city in the Sea of Death.
Unlike the NPC cities on the mainland, Dragonheart City was a place players could claim as their king. Of course, players couldn't conquer the city. Instead, they could purchase the city. Every building in Dragonheart City was different from the NPC cities on the mainland. As long as one could afford it, they could purchase the city's Auction House, City Lord's Mansion, Teleportation Temple, and so on. Players could even construct whatever they wanted in Dragonheart City. Moreover, the buildings in Dragonheart City were much better than those in Advanced Cities. Players could even construct the Teleportation Temple if they could afford it.
Moreover, Dragonheart City also had the famous World Tower in God's Domain.
The World Tower!
The World Tower was a place that all of God's Domain's major powers would set their sights on in the future. Compared to the World Tower, the Otherworld Gate paled in comparison. Many of the super-rare materials required to produce Epic items could be obtained from the World Tower. The World Tower even had the main material required to produce Fragmented Legendary items.
Due to this, Dragonheart City had become one of the top trade cities in God's Domain. At its peak, the city's trade volume had surpassed even that of an empire.
"That's right. This will be a holy land for trade in the future," Melancholy said, nodding. He hadn't expected Shifeng to be so accurate. Smiling, he asked, "May I know if President Hei Yan is interested in opening a Shop here?"
"Opening a Shop here?" Shifeng was confused when he heard Melancholy's words.
He was very interested in doing so. Unlike the Shops in NPC cities on the mainland, Dragonheart City's Shops allowed players to conduct business with the city's foreign NPCs. Meanwhile, Dragonheart City was connected to a large number of foreign races, far more than Thunder Axe City. This was especially true when it came to Epic materials and ancient designs. Throughout God's Domain, very few Shops could compare to Dragonheart City's.
Hence, Shops in Dragonheart City were extremely valuable.
Only, it wasn't easy to open a Shop in Dragonheart City. Even with Ling Yi's current financial strength, she couldn't do so. After all, all transactions in Dragonheart City were conducted using Ancient Gold.
Ancient Gold wasn't the same as Coins. Even expert players would only earn one or two Ancient Silver per day in Dragonheart City. Ordinary Tier 2 players would only earn several dozen Ancient Copper per day. After deducting the necessary expenses, they'd only have a few Copper Coins on hand.
Not only was Ancient Gold extremely difficult to earn, but the exchange rate for Ancient Gold was also a huge problem.
This was because Ancient Copper Coins couldn't be automatically converted into Ancient Silver Coins, and Ancient Silver Coins couldn't be automatically converted into Ancient Gold Coins. Dragonheart Island only accepted fixed currencies, which meant that places that accepted Ancient Silver Coins didn't accept Ancient Copper Coins, no matter how many Ancient Gold Coins there were.
Shops that accepted Ancient Silver could exchange Ancient Gold for Ancient Silver. However, this was only the official exchange rate. One Ancient Gold could be exchanged for 100 Ancient Silver.
As for Ancient Copper, Ancient Silver, and Ancient Gold, each was more useful to players than the last. However, each type was more difficult to obtain than the last. Moreover, the more Ancient Coins players accumulated, the more useful they'd be. Hence, it was extremely difficult to obtain Ancient Copper from players.
Because of this, the value of ancient gold coins was extremely high.
Even after ten years had passed in God's Domain, Ancient Gold was still extremely valuable. It wasn't something that could be measured with Coins.
However, in Dragonheart City, even the cheapest Shop would cost 8,000 Ancient Gold. It wasn't something Ling Yi could obtain at this stage of the game.
"That's right! We'll open a Shop here!" Melancholy said confidently. "Of course, this Shop comes with a price. I'll need to borrow Ling Yi's strength to help us develop a fortress in the Gravity Mountain Range under the World Tower. If we succeed, I'll give you 10,000 Ancient Gold to purchase a Shop in Dragonheart City."
Realization dawned on Shifeng when he heard Melancholy's words.
It was no wonder why Melancholy had offered such an astronomical price. Even the current Super Guilds operating in Dragonheart City couldn't afford 10,000 Ancient Gold. At the very least, they'd need to accumulate enough Ancient Gold for some time.
Meanwhile, not only was the Gravity Mountain Range under the World Tower a treasure trove of resources, but the fortresses in the Gravity Mountain Range were also the main means of earning Ancient Gold. As long as they could secure a fortress in the Gravity Mountain Range, they'd earn a fixed amount of Ancient Gold. Initially, they'd only earn around 2,000 to 3,000 Ancient Gold per day. However, as more fortresses were developed and more foreign races appeared, their income would increase.
However, the Gravity Mountain Range's fortresses weren't easy to capture. Aside from the countless Level 100-plus monsters inside, the Level 100-plus Mythic monsters guarding the fortresses were more than enough to annihilate any current superpower.
Just as Shifeng was about to say something, Lu Xingluo, who stood beside Melancholy, frowned.
