"A passage to the western continent?" Shifeng was stunned when he heard Shi Feng's words.
God's Domain was divided into two continents, the western and eastern continents. Both continents were extremely far from each other. Even with a Flying Mount, it would take players several days to travel between the two continents. There were also plenty of Level 180 and Level 200-plus sea monsters along the way.
It was no exaggeration to say that even after reaching Tier 3, very few players could travel to the other continent.
Generally, players could only rely on teleportation arrays or special passages left behind during ancient times. Starlink, for example, must've controlled an unknown teleportation passage.
However, Shi Feng had never heard of a passage to the western continent in Dragonheart City in the past.
This wasn't because he wasn't well-informed, nor was it because the Guilds in his previous life had been too weak to know about such a passage. Rather, such a thing would've shaken the entire continent. Take the current situation for example. Guilds from the various kingdoms and empires, as well as the various neutral races' powers, had rushed to Dragonheart City.
A passage between the two continents represented unimaginable opportunities and wealth. After all, the civilizations of the two continents were completely different. Moreover, due to the vast distance between the two continents, their development priorities were different. One could easily imagine the business opportunities involved. Otherwise, super-first-rate Guilds like Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor wouldn't have lost to Starlink.
"I don't know the specifics, either. I'm only here with a friend. My friend has already gone to investigate," Melody explained.
"Big Brother Hei Yan, why don't you come with us to take a look? Rain and I have explored many places, but we've never been to the western continent," Blue Bamboo invited the Shifeng.
"That friend of mine has been developing in Dragonheart City all this time. He has plenty of connections and information. I'm sure he'll be able to find out what's going on soon," Melody said, nodding. After all, Shifeng was the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader. She couldn't easily invite him. Since Blue Bamboo had asked, she might as well invite the Shifeng along and use this opportunity to deepen her relationship with the Shifeng.
Ling Yi had been doing very well recently, and because of this, the Death God Workshop had become much more obedient, allowing Ninth Heaven to develop in peace. Since the Shifeng clearly did not know about the passage to the Western Continent, it was a good opportunity to do the Shifeng a favour.
"Alright, but I need to take care of some things first before I can go with you," Shifeng said after some thought.
The Western Continent's passageway was indeed very tempting. If he could go to the Western Continent as soon as possible, he could bring a lot of wealth and resources. Since Melody had invited him, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
"That's not a problem. My friend will take some time to investigate anyway. We're just here to shop since we have nothing better to do." Melody was overjoyed when she heard Shifeng's reply.
Ling Yi's strength was already self-evident, and she might even become a powerhouse in the future. If they could get closer to her now, it would be of great help to Ninth Heaven in the future.
Following which, the Shifeng arranged a meeting place with Melody and the others and headed straight to the Wanderer's Shop.
Many players had gathered on the Wanderer's Shop's deserted street. Due to the Western Continent's passageway, they were all here to gather information.
Although the Western Continent's passageway has surprised me, it has attracted a lot of players. This has saved me a lot of trouble.
Shifeng glanced at these players. These players were all experts. If they weren't members of large Guilds, they were members of well-known adventurer teams. Compared to ordinary experts, they were far more sensitive.
Previously, he had worried that the Wanderer's Shop wouldn't attract enough players to sell the Black Market Teleportation Gate slots for a good price. Now, however, he didn't have to worry about that.
Following which, Shifeng entered the Wanderer's Shop.
The Wanderer's Shop had a total of three floors. Not only was it extremely old, but even ordinary players weren't interested in the items it sold, much less expert players. Only NPCs frequented the shop. The daily turnover was simply too high.
System: Bronze Shop Promotion Order detected. Do you wish to upgrade the Wanderer's Shop?
"Upgrade." Shifeng chose to upgrade the Shop without hesitation.
After Shifeng chose to upgrade the Shop, the Bronze Shop Promotion Order inside Shifeng's bag transformed into a streak of light and disappeared. At the same time, the Wanderer's Shop began to change.
Although the changes weren't noticeable from the outside, the interior had undergone a complete transformation.
Although the first floor was still somewhat dilapidated, the items on display were no longer miscellaneous items. Instead, they were now magical items that could tempt players. There were even Tier 2 Magic Scrolls for sale.
Moreover, among these magical tools, there was an item that surprised Shifeng.
A Spirit Stone!
The Spirit Stone was a special type of ore. It was considered a Consumable and was very rare in God's Domain. When embedded in equipment, players could better perceive Mana.
To non-magical class players, Mana Perception wasn't particularly useful. However, to magical class players, Mana Perception was a priceless treasure. This was because Mana Perception could improve a player's Skill and Spell Completion Rates. After all, unlike other Skills, a Spell's usage depended on a player's control over the Spell. A clearer Mana Perception would make it easier to control the Spell.
If magical class experts found out about the Spirit Stone, they'd most likely go crazy over it.
However, when Shifeng saw the Spirit Stone's price, he couldn't help but sweat.
A single Spirit Magic Stone was worth 400 Ancient Gold!
The Spirit Stone was a Consumable item. Once embedded, it would only last for seven natural days. Meanwhile, Ancient Gold was extremely rare and difficult to earn. Even powerful expert players would need several months to earn that many Ancient Gold.
As expected of the black market. Everything here is so shady. Shifeng suddenly realized that it wouldn't be so easy to make money through the Wanderer's Shop. It wasn't that the Wanderer's Shop lacked good items. Rather, very few players could afford them.
Currently, only 20 Black Market Teleportation Gate slots were available each day, and the minimum price for each slot was 200 Ancient Gold. As the Shop's owner, he'd receive a 10% commission. If he sold all the slots at the lowest price, he'd earn 400 Ancient Gold per day.
An ordinary 2-star grocery store or 2-star forging workshop would be lucky to earn 200 Ancient Gold per day, yet the Wanderer's Shop could earn 400 Ancient Gold per day just by counting the Teleportation Gates. And this was only the beginning. As the Wanderer's Shop's traffic and trade volume increased, the number of Teleportation Gate slots would increase as well. At that time, the Shop's profits would only increase.
It's no wonder why the Wanderer's Shop was said to be a mountain of gold in the past. Even the various superpowers coveted it. It really is a mountain of gold. The Wanderer's Shop's daily profits can rival one-sixth or even one-fifth of the profits of newly developed fortresses.
Shifeng took a look at the Wanderer's Shop's other items. If they sold well, the Wanderer's Shop should earn at least 500 Ancient Gold per day. To the current first-rate powers developing in Dragonheart City, that was most likely the best they could earn in a single day.
As for the World Tower's fortresses, not just anyone could explore them. Not to mention, unlike the fortresses in the outside world, players would need to station a large number of experts to defend these fortresses. This was because these fortresses faced monster hordes every day. The manpower and resources required to maintain these fortresses was no laughing matter. In fact, even ordinary superpowers couldn't afford such a cost.
Meanwhile, the Wanderer's Shop could earn one-sixth or even one-fifth of a fortress's profits in the early stages without any risk.
