"I've already asked my men to prepare them, but there are quite a few superpowers selling the western continent's materials right now. We'll sell them for a high price if we wait a little longer," Gentle Snow said, chuckling when she received Shifeng's call.
Although the western continent's rare materials were very precious on the eastern continent, there were still some superpowers that sold the eastern continent's materials. To get a good price for these materials without causing a huge fluctuation in the market, not only did they have to distribute the materials to the various kingdoms and empires' Auction Houses, but they also had to find the right time to sell certain materials that the Auction Houses did not have. Only then would they be able to sell the materials at a high price. However, this wasn't a problem for Zero Wing.
"Let's not wait any longer. Sell a portion now," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought.
"So soon?" Gentle Snow was surprised to see Shifeng's reaction.
There was a massive difference between selling the materials quickly and selling them slowly. After all, the market was saturated, and not everyone could afford the western continent's rare materials. If they sold them quickly, their profits would be limited.
"Mhm. I'm in urgent need of money right now. Sell as many as you can," Shifeng said, nodding.
If possible, he didn't want to sell them, either. However, his plans couldn't keep up with the changes.
He hadn't thought that the Tree of Life's branch would actually be a Divine Artifact. He had only entertained the possibility of the branch being a Legendary item.
However, a Fragmented Divine Artifact like the Tree of Life's Sapling was simply too frightening. Even the Basic Meditation Room, which had the highest Mana density, didn't have enough room to grow it.
Unlike other items, the Tree of Life's Sapling couldn't be stored in his bag for as long as he wanted. The Tree of Life's Sapling could only survive for two to three days. If he couldn't find a suitable place to grow, he'd have to start all over again …
Moreover, ordinary bags couldn't store the Tree of Life's Sapling because it couldn't be stored in space. Fortunately, Shi Feng had an Epic Spatial Bag, so he could store some non-space items. Otherwise, the Tree of Life's Sapling would have to wait for death in the Basic Meditation Room.
Meanwhile, in God's Domain, there were only three ways to increase a city's Mana density.
The first method was to construct a building that could increase a city's Mana density. However, aside from the Mana Tower, players had to search for the rest. Moreover, building designs that could significantly increase a city's Mana density were incomparably precious. They were even worth as much as Fragmented Legendary items. Any power that obtained one definitely wouldn't sell or trade it.
Currently, there were no buildings in Ling Yi that could significantly increase the Mana density of the city, so this method was not feasible.
The second method was just as difficult as the first, and that was to find an energy core and load it into a city's core magic array to strengthen the city's core magic array and increase the city's Mana density.
The third and most commonly used method was to raise the level of the city.
When a city's level was raised, the magic array connected to the city would be upgraded as well. Hence, the city's Mana density would increase as well. Only, a Guild City's promotion required a lot of popularity and time. It wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight. Even so, this was the easiest method out of the three.
In terms of prosperity and defense, Stone Forest City already qualified to become an Intermediate City. Only, it was still lacking in Popularity. It would take some time before it could become an Intermediate City. Of course, there was a way to increase a city's Popularity quickly, and that was by constructing Advanced Buildings.
Not only could an Advanced Building instantly increase a city's Popularity, but it was also one of the criteria for a city's promotion.
Currently, Stone Forest City only needed one Advanced Building to become an Intermediate City. At that time, not only would the city grow larger, but the city's Mana density would also increase significantly.
However, Shi Feng didn't have an Advanced Building Design right now. The only thing he had was the Freedom Hotel Design. Only, constructing a Peak Building required not only various super-rare materials but also a large amount of Coins. Moreover, the Coins required to construct a Peak Building varied according to the size of the building.
As far as Shifeng knew, even the cheapest Peak Building Design required 1,000,000 Gold …
Meanwhile, Shi Feng had already collected all the necessary materials to construct the Freedom Hotel. He only lacked Coins.
Currently, Zero Wing had less than 150,000 Gold on its books. This gap of one million Gold was extraordinarily large. Hence, the only way to make up for this gap was to sell the western continent's materials as quickly as possible. Otherwise, collecting one million Gold in two or three days would be a pipe dream.
"I understand. I'll sell the materials that the various kingdoms and empires lack as soon as possible. If that's still not enough, I'll sell the materials that are already available on the market," Gentle Snow said, nodding when she saw the serious expression on Shifeng's face.
"I'll leave it to you, then."
After saying so, Shifeng left Candlelight and began to personally prepare for the Freedom Hotel's construction.
As one of God's Domain's Peak Buildings, the Freedom Hotel's construction wasn't easy. Not only did it require a large number of Master Architects to construct, but it also required a large number of magic arrays. Moreover, these magic arrays were all Master rank or above. Without a Master Magic Array, one wouldn't even be able to see the Freedom Hotel.
This was why Shi Feng hadn't been in a hurry to construct the Freedom Hotel after obtaining the design.
While Shifeng was busy selecting locations for the Freedom Hotel and assigning construction manpower, the various superpowers' members, who had been observing Ling Yi in Stone Forest City, were stupefied.
"What is Ling Yi trying to do? The Dark World's Dark Players are clearly about to arrive, yet instead of preparing for battle, he's running around with a group of architects. Is he scared out of his wits? "
"He probably knows that he can't stop the Dark World's Dark Players, so he's trying to build more defensive structures to increase the confidence of Stone Forest City's players. I've heard that Stone Forest City's income has decreased by at least 50% because of this incident. Even if the Dark World's players don't come, the cost of maintaining Stone Forest City alone will likely overwhelm Ling Yi."
"If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place. Does he really think that he can stop the Dark World's Dark Players by building more defensive structures? We're talking about the Dark World's Dark Players. Even five superpowers' Guild Cities won't be able to stop the Dark World's Dark Players, let alone his Guild City. "
…
The various superpowers inwardly laughed at Shifeng's foolishness. Now that the Dark World's Dark World had invaded Stone Forest City, it would be foolish not to try to rope in the various superpowers.
Due to the Dark World's invasion, Stone Forest City's players were in danger. On the surface, Stone Forest City looked prosperous, but players' income had decreased by more than half. Upgrading the city's defensive structures was pointless. It would be much better to mobilize more Guild members to protect the city.
Ling Yi's internal members were also panicking.
They had been confident in Stone Forest City's defense because no power had ever breached the Stone Forest City's defenses. Now, however, they weren't facing a single power, but an entire Otherworld. Whether or not they could defend Stone Forest City was uncertain.
While Ling Yi was panicking, Gentle Snow, who was in charge of the materials auction in the Black Dragon Empire, wore an excited expression.
System: The Demonheart Flower (1 stack) you sold at the Auction House has been sold. After deducting the processing fee, a total of 20 Gold, 27 Silver has been sent to your bag space.
System: The Magically Refined Iron (1 stack) you sold at the Auction House has been sold. After deducting the processing fee, a total of 55 Gold, 21 Silver has been sent to your bag space.
System: The Crimson Gold Log you sold at the Auction House has been sold. After deducting the processing fee, a total of 89 Gold, 76 Silver has been sent to your bag space.
…
In just a few dozen minutes, not only had she sold the items, but she had already earned 350,000 Gold Coins. She had only sold half of the items she had expected to sell for 400,000 Gold Coins, yet she had already earned 350,000 Gold Coins. The results were far better than she had anticipated.
What Gentle Snow didn't know was that while some of the various superpowers sold the western continent's materials, most of them were for their own use. Moreover, traveling to and from the western continent wasn't an easy task. Hence, they only sold a small number of materials. To individual players or independent adventurer teams, these materials were meaningless. Hence, it would be better if they didn't buy them.
Not only were the materials Gentle Snow sold rare, but they could also be used to produce Level 100 weapons, equipment, and Master Potions, but they were also available in large quantities. To the various large Guilds, which urgently needed to explore Level 100 maps, these materials were highly sought after.
For a time, the various large Guilds fought over the Crimson Gold Log in the Auction House.
In less than half a day, Gentle Snow had sold off half of the materials she wanted to sell, earning over 4,000,000 Gold Coins. This was nearly double of the 2,000,000 Gold Coins she had expected to earn …
Shifeng was astonished by this outcome.
It's no wonder why first-rate powers, which traveled between the two main continents, developed into superpowers in the end! Shifeng could not help his rueful sigh when he saw the 4,110,000 Gold that Gentle Snow's subordinates had delivered.
In his opinion, earning four or five times the initial price was already an exaggeration. After all, ordinary players couldn't afford these materials. Only the various major powers could afford them, yet Gentle Snow had earned more than ten times the initial price. If she could do this a few more times, she might be able to crush some superpowers with her money.
However, despite his rueful sigh, Shifeng did not stop working. Inside a sealed area of Stone Forest City, he took out a thick, ancient tome. This ancient tome was none other than the Freedom Hotel Design.
System: You have all the construction materials and land required. Do you wish to begin construction of the Freedom Hotel?
