According to Shiuse Qiangwei, a Baron could purchase a private plot of land in White River City. In addition, a Baron could also recruit ten NPCs to protect their private plot of land.
Meanwhile, Baron was only the lowest rank of nobility.
Only after becoming a Viscount would one be considered a great noble of a city.
Not only could a Baron purchase a private plot of land, but he could also recruit forty-eight Personal Guards and two Personal Guards.
Personal Guards were a privilege only great nobles had.
Personal Guards were different from Personal Guards. Personal Guards could not grow, but Personal Guards could. In other words, no matter how much time passed, their levels would not change. On the other hand, Personal Guards could level up. In addition, Personal Guards would also receive bonus Attributes. They were much stronger than Personal Guards. The difference between Personal Guards and Normal Guards was similar to the difference between Normal monsters and Bosses.
With such Personal Guards protecting a Guild Residence, a Guild would be absolutely safe at this stage of the game. They could even participate in field SS battles. Although their levels would be suppressed, they would still be much stronger than ordinary players. When it came to field SS battles, they would have a greater advantage than other Guilds.
Thinking up to this point, Shiuse Qiangwei's beautiful eyes continued to size up Shifeng.
"Guild Leader, I really can't see through you. Not only have you obtained such a good Guild Residence, but you are also a Viscount of White River City. If other Guilds were to find out about this, they would go crazy," Shiuse Qiangwei giggled as she blinked her sparkling eyes.
"Indeed. They will definitely hunt me down like crazy," Shifeng laughed.
When a Guild possessed a Residence, it meant that it had roots. It was no longer a boundless river.
Only by taking root could it sprout and grow into a towering tree.
Someone had once joked about this.
A Guild without a Guild Residence was a mountain bandit. Meanwhile, a Guild with a Guild Residence was a feudal lord.
Due to the existence of a Guild Residence, Guilds could enjoy many benefits. This was especially true for Guild Quests. At this stage of the game, Guilds did not have a Residence. NPCs in cities could not issue Personal Quests to Guilds. Meanwhile, players could only accept Daily Quests from the Adventurer's Association to earn Guild Honor Points.
Compared to the Guild Quests issued by NPCs, Personal Quests awarded slightly more Guild Honor Points. If a Guild was sufficiently powerful, it could even offer individual quests that rewarded Epic items in the Guild Residence. Moreover, unlike the Adventurer's Association's quests, the Guild Residence's quests wouldn't be limited to two or three per day, and once completed, the quests would disappear.
As long as a Guild was strong enough, a Guild Residence could receive hundreds or even thousands of Guild Quests every day.
There were so many missions. Whether it was leveling up or upgrading equipment, it was much faster than simply leveling up by killing monsters. In fact, experts had even calculated the speed at which players could earn money.
The difference between a Guild with a Guild Residence and a Guild without a Guild Residence was at least two to three times.
Moreover, with a Guild Residence, the Guild would have an official source of funds. This was because every Guild member who completed a Guild Quest would receive a 15% processing fee as Guild funds, which would be deposited in the Guild Bank.
This was why Guild Residences were so important.
Moreover, the location of the Guild Encampment was also very important as it was related to the Guild Quest. The Guild Residence had just been established, so it was unknown in White River City. Or rather, it was unknown among the NPCs in White River City. Hence, these NPCs would not easily come to a Guild Residence to commission quests. However, if a Guild Residence was located in a Trade Area with a high flow of NPCs, it would be easy for NPCs to discover it.
This way, the number of quests a Guild Residence would receive would increase. When a Guild completed more quests, its fame among NPCs would increase, and more NPCs would come to issue quests.
Such a snowball's development speed was unstoppable.
If the Guilds of White River City found out about this, they would definitely hate the Shifeng to the core. However, the Ling YI Society had already grown its wings. Ordinary Guilds did not dare to make an enemy out of the Ling YI Society. Only third-rate Guilds and above could threaten Ling Yi.
However, after the Guild Residence was opened to the public … Even third-rate Guilds would not dare to make an enemy out of Ling Yi.
Just as the Shifeng and Shiuse Qiangwei were chatting, they arrived at the Purple Sun Mansion.
It had been more than a decade since anyone had lived here. Dust covered the entire place. There were even weeds growing inside the house. The interior of the house was extremely dilapidated, and it looked as if it would collapse at any moment. Not to mention people living here, even rats would not visit the house.
"It seems we'll have to tear it down and rebuild it," Shifeng said with some heartache after taking a rough look at the house.
After obtaining a private territory, players would have to pay for all of their own expenses. Ordinary people would not be able to afford even an ordinary house, not to mention a Guild Hall that could support an entire Guild. Only large Guilds with sufficient capital could afford such a price.
"Guild Leader, you're the richest man in White River City, yet you're still complaining about being poor?" Shiuse Qiangwei rolled her eyes at Shifeng. She knew that Shifeng had spent over a hundred Gold to purchase the Arclight Shield Forging Design without batting an eye.
Shifeng could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Shiuse Qiangwei did not know that the construction of the most ordinary Guild Hall would cost 200 Gold Coins to accommodate 500 players. If it were to accommodate 1,000 players, it would cost 500 Gold Coins.
With the size of the Purple Sun Mansion, they could construct an Advanced Guild Hall that could accommodate 3,000 players. That would cost 3,000 Gold …
To any Guild, 3,000 Gold was an astronomical figure. Even if Shifeng could afford it, he still had the pressure of 30,000 Gold. He did not dare to waste his money recklessly. The reason why he had spent over a hundred Gold to purchase the Arclight Shield Forging Design was because he could earn it back. However, the Guild Hall was a complete loss. It would take a long time for him to earn it back.
Just as Shifeng and the others reached a flight of stairs, Shifeng suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blow past his face. A faint voice then entered his ears, as if calling him down.
Instantly, Shifeng unsheathed the Abyssal Blade and Demonslayer. All the hairs on his body stood on end. He pushed his five senses to their limits as if he were facing a great enemy.
Meanwhile, Shiuse Qiangwei and Fire Dance were only a step behind Shi Feng. They also unsheathed their weapons and stared at the stairs.
However, there was nothing at the entrance of the stairs. Only the cold wind blew past, causing the weeds to flutter.
"We are inside the house. How can there be wind?" Fire Dance was confused. God's Domain's virtual reality was very close to reality. They were in the heart of the mansion, and it was airtight. How could a cold wind blow past them?
Hearing Fire Dance's words, Shifeng could not help but feel strange as well.
However, as far as Shifeng knew, the Purple Sun Mansion was indeed very strange. The people of White River City called it a Haunted Mansion. It was not unreasonable for the owners to disappear one after another.
Even Weissman, a Tier 4 Great Wizard, could not figure out the reason. He could only send a garrison to guard the mansion, preventing anyone from entering.
However, Shifeng did not know how to solve this problem. Hence, he had no choice but to solve it himself.
Only, he had never imagined that he would feel such immense pressure just by standing at the entrance of the stairs. He felt as if he had encountered a ferocious beast.
Moreover, Shifeng felt a sense of deja vu from this pressure. However, he could not recall where he had felt it before.
