The Wanderer's Shop's inventory far exceeded Shifeng's expectations. Even Shifeng fell silent when he saw this number.
It's no wonder why the powers that acquired the Wanderer's Shop developed so quickly in the past. Sure enough, it's a hidden gold mine. Realization dawned on Shifeng.
In the past, there had been plenty of first- and second-rate Guilds operating in God's Domain's free territories. These Guilds hadn't occupied any important resource points, and they hadn't even been able to become overlords in empires and kingdoms, yet they had managed to establish themselves in the various superpowers' neutral territories.
The Wanderer's Shop had most likely contributed to this success.
He had only been in the Tower of Four Gods for a little over 20 days, yet he had already accumulated over 27,000 Ancient Gold. That was the equivalent of earning over 1,000 Ancient Gold per day. Most likely, aside from the Gravity Mountain Range's fortresses, no other Shop in Dragonheart City could surpass this number.
Moreover, this was only a 2-star Wanderer's Shop. Once it became a 3-star Wanderer's Shop, even superpowers would be tempted by the items it sold.
Most importantly, a 3-star Wanderer's Shop would undergo a qualitative transformation. Once it became a 3-star Wanderer's Shop, it would hold a small black market on a regular basis. Although the black market couldn't be compared to the black market, there would be no teleportation restrictions. Anyone who became a member of the Wanderer's Shop could participate in the black market. The Wanderer's Shop's income would increase significantly.
Without hesitation, Shifeng withdrew the 27,000 Ancient Gold and made his way to the City Hall.
Originally, Shifeng had planned to purchase a Guild Residence in Dragonheart City's outermost region to provide a free rest area for his Guild members, but now that he had so many Ancient Gold, he had to change his plans.
Dragonheart City was a neutral free trade city. Aside from the inner and outer regions, it also had a special area.
This special area was close to the World Tower!
Due to its proximity to the World Tower, not only was it convenient to enter and exit the World Tower, but the Mana density in this area was also very high.
There was also a hidden area: World Power's tolerance limit.
The World Tower's Gravity Mountain Range's first underground floor was still visible, but once players reached the second underground floor, they'd feel the malice pervading the underground world. This malice was World Power's rejection and resistance against outsiders.
Although it wasn't like the foreign energy in other neutral maps, not only would players' physiques decrease, but their five senses would also become dulled, which would have a significant impact on players.
Of course, Dragonheart City's special food and drink could alleviate these negative effects. However, the cost of doing so was astronomical. Most likely, ordinary expert players wouldn't be able to save a single Dime just for food and drink alone.
During their long exploration of Dragonheart City, everyone had discovered one thing: if they rested near the World Tower, the World Power's suppression would be reduced. Although the suppression might still affect players, it would be halved.
This way, players could survive in the World Tower without having to pay the exorbitant cost of food and drink.
Due to this, the Shops around the World Tower had become incredibly popular. The various superpowers had even spent a fortune to convert their Shops into hotels. If not for Guild Residences being prohibited from being built around the World Tower, the area around the World Tower would've been filled with Guild Residences in the past.
Even so, the area around the World Tower had become a tourist destination. Every Shop had become a hotel for players to rest in.
In the past, not even first-rate Guilds had gotten a share of these hotels. In fact, many superpowers hadn't even been able to secure one. After all, there were only 34 Shops and Lands around the World Tower. Moreover, the hotel's size had been limited from the very beginning.
Since Dragonheart City's various powers hadn't noticed this yet, Shifeng naturally couldn't miss out on this opportunity.
Previously, he had only had 10,000 Ancient Gold. Even purchasing a Shop in the World Tower's outer region was difficult, let alone the area around the World Tower. Now that he had over 27,000 Ancient Gold, he could, more or less, afford to purchase a Shop in the World Tower's outer region.
After waiting for some time in a VIP room on the City Hall's second floor, Shifeng saw an elven beauty wearing a half-moon emblem enter the room.
Unlike ordinary administrators, this elven beauty was one of the City Hall's senior administrators. She was also an NPC that specialized in selling Shops and Lands around the World Tower. Moreover, she was a Level 180, Tier 4 Great Wizard. Ordinary players would have a hard time conversing with this senior administrator, much less meeting her.
Fortunately, Shifeng was a Bronze Legatee. Hence, he was able to meet with this senior administrator.
"Esteemed Bronze Legatee, this is the information you requested for on the 34 Shops and Lands around the World Tower. May I know which one you wish to purchase?" Senior Administrator Lauren asked Shifeng.
When Shifeng saw the information on the list, he was momentarily speechless.
Although he had known that the Shops and Lands around the World Tower were expensive, he hadn't expected them to be this expensive.
Even an empty plot of Land cost 24,000 Ancient Gold. Moreover, it was a small plot of Land. A medium-sized plot of Land cost 45,000 Ancient Gold, not to mention a Shop that had already been constructed. The cheapest plot of Land was a small 1-star restaurant, which cost 40,000 Ancient Gold. As for a medium-sized 2-star hotel, the price had broken through the roof, costing 128,000 Ancient Gold …
Seeing this, Shifeng suddenly felt that, even if he owned the Wanderer's Shop, he was nothing more than a pauper in Dragonheart City.
"I want this small plot of Land," Shifeng said, gritting his teeth. He then chose the plot of Land closest to the World Tower.
The Shops and Lands around the World Tower were worth a fortune. They were just as rare as the Wanderer's Shop. Not only would he make a fortune if he purchased one, but it would also be of great help to his Guild.
"Alright. The total is 26,500 Ancient Gold," Lawrence and Irene said, nodding.
Speechless, Shifeng paid the Ancient Gold, leaving him with just over 1,000 Ancient Gold. However, Lawrence and Irene didn't care about that. After receiving the Ancient Gold, they took out an ancient contract and handed it to Shifeng.
Shifeng's heart clenched when he read the contract's information.
Even an empty plot of Land would cost 10,000 Ancient Gold per month as a management fee, which was even more expensive than the Wanderer's Shop.
"Forget it. You have to lose something to gain something. At the very least, the various superpowers in the past were willing to spend over a million Ancient Gold just to obtain a plot of Land." After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng felt that he had already made a killing. "Now, I just need another 4,000 Ancient Gold to construct an Advanced Hotel and officially open for business."
Just as Shi Feng was about to leave the City Hall after signing all the contracts, the sound of a voice call entered his ears. The person requesting a call was none other than Gentle Snow. Immediately, Shi Feng clicked accept.
