Fire Dragon Empire, Flame Dragon City:
In a VIP room on the 33rd floor of the Raging Flame Restaurant on Flame Dragon City's central street, Cold Shadow, who had just logged into the game, noticed a tall and beautiful woman standing in the room. When this woman saw Cold Shadow appear, her expression turned indescribably gloomy.
This woman was none other than White Feather, who had recently logged into the game.
"Did something happen?" Cold Shadow looked at White Feather, a trace of astonishment flashing through her silver eyes.
"I just received news that Ling Yi's Silverwing Town has begun its promotion into a city. Many of the Orc Empire's neighboring powers have sent representatives to Silverwing Town, intending to form a long-term partnership with Ling Yi. Some superpowers have even expressed interest in partnering with Ling Yi," White Feather reported softly.
"Silverwing Town has been promoted to a city?" Cold Shadow was a little surprised to hear this. However, realization quickly dawned on her. She then smiled and said, "Could it be that she rejected my offer without hesitation? She does have some capital to back it up."
"Vice Guild Leader, now that Silverwing Town has been promoted to a city, if those superpowers truly work together to protect Ling Yi, we'll have a much harder time obtaining the Spiritualization Method. Why don't we notify Saint's Hand and have it warn those superpowers?" White Feather asked worriedly.
Their superiors had only given them one mission, and that was to obtain the Spiritualization Method. If several superpowers worked together to protect Ling Yi in the real world, the other superpowers wouldn't have an easy time dealing with Ling Yi.
"That won't be necessary. So what if those superpowers work together to protect him?" Cold Shadow said, smiling faintly as she read the report White Feather sent her. "Now that Hei Yan's identity has been exposed, Starlink definitely won't let go of this opportunity to kill Ling Yi. Before I entered God's Domain, I received news that the old man behind Lu Xingluo has finally decided to take action and eliminate all of Ling Yi's new forces in Fenglin City. With Ling Yi's current forces, he should be able to hold off Lu Xingluo for a while. When the time comes, we'll reap the benefits."
Lu Xingluo himself wasn't particularly capable. This was especially true for Starlink, which he had organized. One could say that the old man behind Lu Xingluo had played a large part in Starlink's development.
Even if the various superpowers worked together, they wouldn't be able to stop that old man. Only a handful of Mythology's experts were capable of going up against him.
"I understand. In that case, I'll have my subordinates keep a close eye on him," White Feather said, nodding.
While Cold Shadow and Shi Feng chatted, Silverwing Town in the distant Ore Empire had finally completed its upgrade. A magnificent city now stood atop a sand dune. Compared to Silverwing Town, this new city was significantly larger and more robust. In fact, just by looking at it from the outside, Shi Feng could already feel the Mana gathering around the city.
"What a frightening amount of Mana!" Shifeng was astonished when he saw the Mana gathering outside the city.
He had to admit that after Silverwing Town had been upgraded to Silverwing City, the city's core magic array had received a significant upgrade. With the addition of the five Magic Towers, Silverwing Town's Mana density rivaled that of Stone Forest City's.
Although the Freedom Hotel wasn't as good as Stone Forest City's Freedom Hotel, it was still a sacred place for current players to rest and get twice the results with half the effort.
Moreover, Silverwing Town was located in the Faux Saint monster's territory. As a result, many maps had been transformed into Level 100-plus neutral maps. However, due to the thin Mana in these Level 100-plus neutral maps, as well as the fact that players couldn't use Flying Mounts or Return Scrolls, very few players were willing to travel in these maps.
Now that Silverwing City had been established, it had saved them a lot of trouble. At the very least, they wouldn't have to worry about returning to NPC cities to recover from their injuries. Moreover, resting in Silverwing City would allow them to recover faster.
However, what truly excited Shifeng was the airport's transformation.
Originally, the airport had only been the size of a sports stadium. However, due to Silverwing Town's promotion, the airport had received a significant upgrade as well. Now, not only was it the size of three sports stadiums, but the number of platforms capable of docking Airships had also increased by several times. This was one of the benefits of a town's promotion.
"Now that Silverwing Town has been upgraded to Silverwing City, we only need to spend some Coins to open up a channel to the various kingdoms' capital cities. With that, players from the neighboring kingdoms can travel directly to Silverwing City. At that time, just the transportation fees alone will likely rival the Freedom Hotel's," Shifeng said excitedly as he gazed at the distant airport.
In the past, the airport had been one of the main sources of income for the various large Guild Cities. After all, not every player had a Flying Mount, nor did every player own a private house in the various Guild Cities. Hence, the airport's Air Transport Ships had become the main means of transportation.
Previously, as Silverwing Town's airport had only been constructed in Silverwing Town, it had only been able to open up a single channel. However, after Silverwing Town's promotion to a city, it now had a total of five channels. As the airport and town's development progressed, the number of channels available would increase as well.
In the past, five channels might not have been a big deal for the various major powers' Main Cities, but in the current God's Domain, five channels were beyond the imagination of the various major powers. Not to mention, in the desolate Ore Empire, where one could count money until one's hands cramped.
However, before Shifeng could recover from his surprise, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: Congratulations! Silverwing Town has been upgraded to Silverwing City. The Transportation Firm has met the requirements to be promoted to Bronze rank. Do you wish to upgrade the Transportation Firm?
"It's Bronze rank already?" Shifeng was stunned when he saw the system notification.
He wasn't making a fuss over nothing. The Transportation Firm was a very special building. This was because the building itself represented a Chamber of Commerce's system. Its promotion system was completely different from that of ordinary buildings.
One couldn't simply upgrade a Transportation Firm with money or a Promotion Order. Instead, a series of conditions had to be met before one could upgrade a Transportation Firm.
In the past, any power that had owned a Transportation Firm had, at the very least, promoted its Guild City to Intermediate rank. Normally, a Power would only upgrade its Transportation Firm to Bronze rank after it became an Advanced City.
Now, however, Silverwing Town had only been promoted to a Basic City, yet the Transportation Firm had already been promoted. Why wouldn't he be surprised?
Once a Transportation Firm reached Bronze rank, a Guild City would gain the ability to conduct business and trade.
After all, a Transportation Firm that reached Bronze rank would no longer be limited to a single region or country. Instead, it would serve as a transportation hub that connected neighboring kingdoms and empires. Even NPCs from neutral powers would visit the Transportation Firm.
In other words, not only could the Transportation Firm provide goods for various countries and neutral powers, but it could also serve as a hub for NPC merchants.
As long as a Guild City had a Bronze Transportation Firm, not only would it be able to promote the Guild City to Main City level, but it would also provide a significant boost to the Guild's members' income.
After reading the system notification for a while, Shifeng chose to upgrade the Transportation Firm without hesitation.
