Gravity Mountain Range, Northern Fortress:
As soon as Shifeng logged into the game, he was greeted by the sight of a bustling street. He could even see a large number of Guild members in Dragonheart City renting the Northern Fortress's hotels as temporary Residences. The Northern Fortress was no less bustling than an ordinary city.
He could already foresee that the Northern Fortress would become the center of the Gravity Mountain Range in the future.
Ling Yi's Residence was even more crowded than before. Many of Dragonheart City's independent players wanted to join Ling Yi's Residence to enjoy the benefits of free rest in the Northern Fortress. As a result, Hei Zi and the others were very busy.
"Guild Leader, you're back." Shiuse Qiangwei, who was in the middle of handling some documents in his office, asked worriedly when he saw Shifeng enter, "How are things with the Fang Family?"
Although she wasn't in Fenglin City, she was aware of the Fang Family's status in the city. Since the Fang Family had come looking for them, they definitely didn't come with good intentions. Meanwhile, Ling Yi had just started out in Fenglin City. If the Fang Family targeted Ling Yi, Ling Yi's bright future in God's Domain would be severely affected.
This was especially true now that practically every major power understood the importance of training centers and dojos. Many Guilds had partnered with well-known training centers and dojos, and some had even opened their own training centers and dojos. Not only did these centers and dojos help their Guilds nurture their own talents, but they could also improve their members' combat standards and increase their Guild's Popularity.
As a result, the various training centers and dojos had close ties with the various large Guilds. As a result, Ling Yi had a very difficult time establishing itself in other cities. Now, it could only rely on the Heaven's Rumble Training Center to nurture new talents for Ling Yi.
"It's fine. They just haven't come to an agreement to purchase Ling Yi," Shifeng said, waving his hand.
"Isn't that terrible?!" Shiuse Qiangwei was speechless when he saw the Shifeng's nonchalant attitude. "The Fang Family controls the Qilin Corporation, and Fenglin City is the Fang Family's main headquarters. If they wanted to take action against us, they'd have a piece of cake. All they needed to do was contact the city's various training centers and dojos to suppress our prices. Once that happened, no one would visit the Heaven's Rumble Training Center."
The Heaven's Rumble Training Center was Ling Yi's main source of talent. If no one joined the training center, the Heaven's Rumble Training Center wouldn't be able to recruit new talents. Moreover, with the Fang Family's financial strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to poach Heaven's Rumble's new recruits.
If that happened, not only would the Heaven's Rumble Training Center be unable to supply Ling Yi with talent, but it would also become a huge burden. After all, operating the Heaven's Rumble Training Center required a significant amount of funds.
"Don't worry. Ling Yi is different now." Shi Feng's lips curled into a faint smile as he said, "If he wants to eat us, we'll have to see if his teeth are good enough! How's the construction of the Shops coming along? "
"It's done. However, I'm afraid that we won't be able to earn much from renting out the Shops in the Northern Fortress. After all, the Northern Fortress is only a Medium Fortress. It can only accommodate a limited number of people," Shi Weiwei said. "So far, very few of the powers that have visited the Northern Fortress have talked about renting out the Shops. Most of them are interested in renting our hotels long-term."
Shops were indeed very attractive to the various powers, but the precondition was that they needed a large population. With the Northern Fortress's population, it would be very difficult to rent out the Shops at a high price. Furthermore, the number of Shops in the Northern Fortress was far fewer than in a Guild City.
In God's Domain, the number of Shops a fortress could accommodate was limited. A Small Fortress could accommodate 100 Shops, while a Medium Fortress could only accommodate 240 Shops. In contrast, a Guild City could easily accommodate 1,000 Shops.
"That's good. Make the necessary preparations and release an announcement," Shi Weiwei said, chuckling. "Announce that the Northern Fortress has begun renting out Shops. Each Shop will be auctioned off for a minimum of five million Credits per month! We'll rent out a total of 200 Shops on a first-come, first-served basis! "
"Guild Leader, you …" Shiuse Qiangwei stared at Shifeng as if he had lost his mind.
Even in Ling Yi City, which currently had the largest population, Ling Yi City, one couldn't rent out a Shop for even one million Credits per month, much less five million Credits. Moreover, the Northern Fortress didn't even have a population of 500,000 right now. Moreover, five million Credits was only the minimum price.
"Go do it for now. You'll understand when the time comes," Shifeng said, not bothering to explain the situation. Instead, he instructed Shiuse Qiangwei to spread the news.
In God's Domain, the most profitable assets weren't Guild Cities. Instead, they were the fortresses located in neutral maps. As many neutral maps' environments prevented the construction of Guild Towns and Cities, these fortresses had become the main gathering and resting spots for players in neutral maps.
Independent players made up the majority of God's Domain's players. If these players had no use for the items they obtained in the fields, they would sell them at their resting spots. Shops, on the other hand, were excellent platforms for purchasing and storing items. This was especially true for storing non-bag space items.
Hence, Shops in fortresses had become one of the main sources of resources in neutral maps.
Moreover, aside from purchasing rare materials and Warehouses, Shops in neutral maps also had a hidden benefit.
This was the right to trade with NPC wandering merchants in neutral maps. This was a trade that could only take place in neutral fortresses with Shops. Without a Shop, players couldn't trade with NPC wandering merchants in neutral maps.
Of course, it wasn't easy to trade with these wandering merchants. First, the fortress had to be sufficiently secure to attract these wandering merchants.
Moreover, the items sold by these wandering merchants in Shops were completely different from those sold by individual players. These items were extremely precious to the various powers.
For example, the Advanced Wanderer Camp could be used as a temporary resting spot in a neutral map. Although it could only be used three times and could only be used for a maximum of one natural day each, it could allow a team to fully recover their Stamina and Concentration.
Aside from the Advanced Wanderer Camp, there were also many other special Magic Scrolls and tools. Every one of these tools could help a team survive better in neutral maps.
Sometimes, players would even sell super-rare Small Mobile Camps. These were permanent tools. Although these Mobile Camps could only accommodate 100-man teams, they could be used indefinitely. All they needed to do was spend some Magic Crystals.
These tools were a guarantee for a team's development in neutral maps.
Meanwhile, Medium Fortresses were the bottom line for attracting these NPC wandering merchants. This was also why the various powers had gone crazy over Medium Fortresses and above in the past.
After all, a Medium Fortress in a neutral map was a true gold mine. Even if Zero Wing had to wage a Guild war, it wouldn't matter.
To develop better in neutral maps, the various powers had spared no expense to rent Shops in Medium Fortresses.
As long as they had a fortress in a neutral map, they wouldn't have to worry about not making money. This was especially true for the Northern Fortress. It was the only place in the Gravity Mountain Range that had Return Scrolls and long-term residences. There were also plenty of ancient ruins that had yet to be explored.
They wouldn't have to worry about not renting out their Shops.
