Upon hearing the system notification, the Shifeng immediately chose to open the Wanderer's Shop.
Although they could hire better NPCs to manage the Wanderer's Shop after it was upgraded to 2-star status, the Shifeng did not have that much money left.
They had already spent 9,000 Ancient Gold to purchase the Wanderer's Shop, and they only had 1,000 Ancient Gold left.
Everything in Dragonheart City required Ancient Gold. The Coins earned in kingdoms and empires wouldn't work in Dragonheart City at all. In fact, even if one tried to purchase Ancient Gold at a high price, it wouldn't be of much use here. This was because the players that came to Dragonheart City to develop were generally experts, and they didn't lack Coins. Rather, they hoped to purchase items that could help them improve themselves in Dragonheart City. Hence, most players were unwilling to part with Ancient Gold.
Moreover, entering and exiting the World Tower also cost money.
For example, entering the Gravity Mountain Range's first floor cost only 5 Ancient Silver per entry. If players wanted to enter the Gravity Mountain Range's second floor, however, they would have to pay 1 Ancient Gold.
Also, Dragonheart City's food and drinks were very expensive. However, these were all necessities. Not only could the food and drink in Dragonheart City accelerate players' Stamina and Concentration recovery, but most importantly, the food and drink in Dragonheart City could expel the Otherworld's energy from their bodies, allowing players to enter the World Tower more quickly.
This was also one of the reasons why small powers couldn't survive in Dragonheart City. Otherwise, players would've long since crowded such a precious place to level up and obtain resources. Why would they bother leveling up in a map where they had to travel for a long time and get corroded by the Otherworld's energy?
The Shifeng planned to have Ling Yi's members develop in Dragonheart City as well.
Most importantly, the Wanderer's Shop had to pay 3,000 Ancient Gold every ten days. Naturally, the sooner they opened the Shop, the better.
Shortly after the Wanderer's Shop opened to the public, an NPC ran into the Shop to sell an item. Moreover, the item for sale was a Tier 2 Skill Book. Only, the Skill Book was very expensive, costing 60 Ancient Gold.
Not long after the NPC entered, a group of players entered the room.
When these players saw the items displayed on the counter, they couldn't take their eyes off them.
"Crap! Wasn't this a resurrection scroll? Moreover, the death penalty is reduced by half. I've never seen such a thing in the empire's Auction House before. I've only seen it once in an auction, and that item sold for 200 Gold, yet here, it's only selling for 50 Gold! "
"Is it cheap? You need ancient gold coins here. "
Everyone's eyes glowed as they looked at the items in the Wanderer's Shop. However, when they saw the prices, they wilted. Experts from well-known adventurer teams like themselves might be able to scrape together 50 Gold, but they wouldn't be able to afford 50 Ancient Gold even if they sold themselves.
In the Wanderer's Shop, everything was priced in ancient gold coins.
Shifeng could only shake his head and chuckle as he watched these players complain about the Wanderer's Shop's evildoing. He had experienced the same thing in the past. Even as a Guild Leader, he had found the Wanderer's Shop's prices exorbitant, not to mention these adventurer team's members.
Following which, Shifeng left the Shop and hurried to meet up with Melody and the others.
Now that the Wanderer's Shop had opened, it would only be a matter of time before it attracted the attention of Dragonheart City's major powers. Hence, he didn't have to worry about not selling the Black Market slots. At the same time, Shifeng left 500 Ancient Gold in the Shop to purchase Epic materials. He didn't have to worry about purchasing other items for now. After all, he couldn't afford them without money. The only thing he could do now was slowly accumulate Ancient Gold through the Wanderer's Shop.
Inside a bar called the Blue Rose in Dragonheart City's inner region, Shifeng discovered Melody and the others chatting happily with a Level 79 Tigerkin Berserker as soon as he arrived.
Not only was this Tigerkin Berserker very high-level, but he also wore excellent equipment. He wore the Level 75 Fine-Gold Set Equipment, the Furious Punishment Set, and carried a greataxe that radiated an Epic glow effect. Even first-rate Guilds' peak experts wouldn't dare approach the Tigerkin Berserker casually.
Moreover, based on the Tigerkin Berserker's movements, Shi Feng could tell that he was a Refinement Realm expert. He was definitely stronger than Melody.
"Big Brother Hei Yan, are you done with your business?" Blue Bamboo asked when she saw Shifeng approaching.
"Mhm, I'm done," Shifeng said, nodding.
"Good. Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Swimming Dragon. He is the commander of the Dragon Riders adventurer team," Melody said. "This is Hei Yan, the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader."
"So, you're Hei Yan, the Sword King?!" Swimming Dragon was surprised to see Shifeng.
Adventurer teams that operated on Dragonheart Island weren't very familiar with the various Guilds outside of Dragonheart Island, but the top 50 experts on the God's Domain Experts List were a different story.
Shifeng's ranking had risen again recently. In the latest issue, he had ranked 14th. It was difficult not to know about him.
Although the experts' rankings on the God's Domain Experts List didn't reflect a true expert's strength, the fact that Shi Feng could rank so high on the God's Domain Experts List was proof of his strength.
However, at this moment, Shifeng looked like an ordinary person. If not for Melody's introduction, Swimming Dragon would've thought that Shifeng was just an ordinary player. He couldn't sense the aura of a powerhouse from Shifeng at all. In fact, Shifeng's presence was very weak. Unlike the powerhouses he had met in the past, Shifeng didn't seem like a powerhouse at all.
"Hello," Shifeng said, nodding.
After a brief introduction, Swimming Dragon went on to talk about the western continent's teleportation channel. Originally, Dragonheart City didn't have a teleportation channel. Instead, a King-class Sea Monster had been discovered a short distance away from Dragonheart City. According to the information they had received, this King-class Sea Monster might drop a Teleportation Stone that could teleport to the western continent.
The reason the news had spread was that the King-class Sea Monster was simply too powerful. It also had a group of powerful sea monsters protecting it. One or two superpowers couldn't defeat the King-class Sea Monster. They would need to borrow the strength of the various superpowers to take it down.
Therefore, all the forces that had rushed over were to gather at the island closest to the King-class Sea Beast so that they could deal with the King-class Sea Beast together.
Which of Dragonheart City's superpowers didn't operate at sea?
Swimming Dragon planned to make a trip to the island to see if he could get a share of the loot. Blue Bamboo, Melody, and the others also wanted to take a look. Naturally, Shifeng wouldn't object to Swimming Dragon's request. Hence, he followed Swimming Dragon to the island.
"There are so many people!" Blue Bamboo was astonished when she saw the numerous speedboats docking at the port.
Although Dragonheart City already had plenty of speedboats docked at the port, there were over ten times as many speedboats now. It would be extremely difficult to leave the port.
"It'll take too long to get there on our own. Dragonheart City has a transport ship that travels to the island. It'll be more convenient for us to take that ship," Swimming Dragon said. Swimming Dragon said, "I've already asked someone to buy the tickets. We can just board the ship directly."
After saying so, Swimming Dragon led Shifeng and the others to the transport ship.
At this time, the transport ship was overcrowded, and everyone was waiting to board. Shifeng and the others had no choice but to wait in line.
After waiting for half an hour, when it was time for Shifeng and the others to board the ship, two robust Level 79 players approached them. When the surrounding players saw these two players, they instinctively avoided them, not daring to look at them directly. These two players were very powerful experts in Dragonheart City. Ordinary players wouldn't dare provoke them.
"You Long, I heard that you've already bought a ticket. Give it to me." Give it to me, "a Level 78 Shield Warrior said, chuckling as he looked at Swimming Dragon." I'm in a hurry. Rest assured, I won't mistreat you. I'll repay this favor in the future. "
"You're too late, Ironhand. I already have a ticket," Swimming Dragon said, shaking his head.
