System: The Transportation Firm can be modified once for promotion. The modification will cost 40000 Gold and 100000 Magic Crystals. Do you wish to modify it? (Notice: You can still promote without modification.)
"Modify it," Shifeng said when he saw the system notification.
Currently, Ling Yi was in dire need of money. However, he still had nearly 100,000 Gold and 400,000 Magic Crystals in reserve, just in case he needed them.
Although the Transportation Firm's modification wouldn't add any additional functions, it would have a huge effect: more NPC merchants would be stationed in the Transportation Firm.
The more NPC merchants a city had, the more quests players could receive. More products would also be available for sale. These benefits alone would be more than enough to attract a large number of players to develop in the city.
As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, the Coins and Magic Crystals that Shifeng had withdrawn from the Guild Warehouse decreased by 40,000 Gold and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
Shortly after, the Transportation and Trade Firm located at the edge of the city turned into a cloud of black mist, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just five to six seconds, it had turned into a cloud of black mist the size of four stadiums. After the black mist receded, a five-story Transportation and Trade Firm appeared before everyone's eyes.
While Shifeng quietly observed the Transportation Firm, Youlan contacted him.
"Guild Leader, Silverwing City's defenses are complete. The entrance fee has also been adjusted to 10 Silver. We can open Silverwing City to the public at any time," Youlan reported excitedly through the video call.
Previously, when news of Silverwing Town's promotion had spread, players from the neighboring kingdoms had already rushed to the city to take a look. Now that the promotion was complete, the city's entrance was filled with players. Based on a rough estimate, Shi Feng estimated that there were over two million players gathered outside the city.
With this, Silverwing City's income from the city's entrance fee alone was enough to make Shi Feng's hands go soft.
Previously, Silverwing Town hadn't been able to collect entrance fees. The town's main source of income came from renting Shops and selling Candlelight's items. Now that Silverwing City had an income from the entrance fee, it would definitely solve Ling Yi's financial problems.
"Alright, let's open it," Shifeng said, nodding with a smile.
After Shifeng nodded in agreement, Youlan deactivated the magic array that sealed off the city from the outside world.
In the next moment, the magic barrier enveloping Silverwing City shattered and disappeared, revealing Silverwing City's appearance to everyone in the city.
The sudden opening of Silverwing City stupefied the crowd waiting outside the city walls.
"F * ck! How spectacular! This is comparable to Stone Forest City! "
"It's not just the exterior. I can feel that the Mana overflowing from Silverwing City is no less dense than that of Stone Forest City."
"I wonder how much the entrance fee will cost? If it's too expensive, ordinary players like us will have a hard time developing in Silverwing City."
…
Aside from exclaiming in shock and awe at the appearance of Silverwing City, the players in the outside world also secretly discussed the city. They were all very curious about the current situation in Silverwing City.
If it were any other Guild City, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, Silverwing City was the only Guild City in the Faux Saint monster's territory. Previously, Silverwing Town alone had been able to stop over four million Faux Saint monsters. Now that it had been upgraded to a Guild City, the Faux Saint army would most likely be helpless against Silverwing City.
For the majority of players, be it ordinary players or expert players, safety was their number one priority.
Nowadays, many players would have a mental breakdown if they died. After all, not only was it difficult to level up after reaching Level 100, but Level 100-plus Excellent Equipment was also extremely valuable. If they lost even a single piece of Excellent Equipment, they would most likely die. Hence, safety was of utmost importance.
In fact, Silverwing City was even safer than NPC cities. After all, many players had already witnessed the strength of Tier 4 NPCs. Tier 3 players were no different from ants before Tier 4 NPCs. Trying to cause trouble in Silverwing City was no different from suicide. In addition, the Faux Saint monsters in Silverwing City provided far more EXP than in the outside world. There were also the various kingdoms that issued Kingdom Quests. Hence, there were still plenty of players who wished to live in the Faux Saint monster's territory.
Meanwhile, when the players queued up before Silverwing City's entrance, they were all stupefied.
"Ten silver coins to enter the city? Has Ling Yi lost his mind? " The female Summoner stared at the fees the Tier 3 NPC Personal Guard demanded, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
Currently, 2 Silver was the basic entrance fee for a Guild City in a neutral map. Although Silverwing City was the only Guild City in the Faux Saint monster's territory, it was normal for the entrance fee to Silverwing City to be higher. However, what the heck was 10 Silver?
That was five times the entrance fee for a Guild City in a neutral map!
Silverwing City was located in a low-level map. Even though the Faux Saint monsters had changed the map's layout, it was still only around Level 80. It was not a Level 100-plus neutral map. The only problem was the Faux Saint monsters.
If players wished to level up, they still had to travel to distant Level 100-plus maps. Meanwhile, Silverwing City was only a transit point and resting place. It was not a place players had to enter.
At this moment, aside from Frost Heaven's female Summoner, even the various major powers' members who wished to enter Silverwing City were dumbfounded.
At the price of 10 Silver Coins, Zero Wing was practically going crazy over money.
After all, very few players were willing to come to the Faux Saint monster's territory. With the money he had, he might as well develop in other Level 100-plus maps. After all, the Faux Saint monster's territory only provided him with a slightly faster leveling speed. The Coins and materials he could obtain from the Faux Saint monster's territory were far inferior. Moreover, the danger of the Faux Saint monster's territory was several times higher than other non-Faux Saint monster territories.
Moreover, aside from the Faux Saint monsters, the 10 Silver entrance fee might not be a problem for Tier 3 experts, but it was a huge burden for Tier 2 players.
At that time, aside from Tier 3 experts, very few Tier 2 experts would be willing to develop in Silverwing City.
Furthermore, how many Tier 3 experts were there in God's Domain?
"Crap! Does he think we're fools? "
"Ling Yi is really getting ahead of himself. He's charging 10 Silver just to enter the city? Does he really think we have to develop in the Ore Empire?"
A large number of Tier 2 players complained about Silverwing City's entrance fee. Some were even furious. Previously, when Silverwing Town was still in Silverwing Town, the city didn't charge them a single cent. Hence, they reluctantly chose to develop in the dangerous Faux Saint monster territory. Now, however, Shi Feng charged them a fee of 10 Silver to enter the city.
At this time, an adventurer team with over a thousand members stood quietly outside Silverwing City's entrance. The atmosphere in the team was heavy.
"Vice Commander Wind, the 10 Silver entrance fee is simply too high. After deducting our various expenses, most of our Tier 2 brothers' daily earnings have already gone to Ling Yi. Hence, many people want us to develop elsewhere. We really can't stay in Silverwing City any longer," a Level 107, Tier 2 Berserker said.
"I never thought that Ling Yi would be so ruthless. If we had known, we would've joined the other adventurer teams and headed to another kingdom or the Dark Night Empire," a Level 113, Tier 3 male Elementalist grumbled.
"Wind, this price is indeed a little high. Even if we can afford it now, we won't be able to afford it in the long run. Why don't we head to the Dark Night Empire and take a look? I've heard that there are already Level 100-plus Guild Cities there, and the entrance fee is only 10 Silver," Crazed Bull suggested.
Many of the Blood Pact adventurer team's members nodded in agreement with Crazed Bull's suggestion. Rather than waiting for Ling Yi to charge them 10 Silver, they would rather develop in a Level 100-plus neutral map. The profits they could earn there would be far higher than in the Ore Empire.
"Alright, then. However, Silverwing City has just completed its promotion. There are bound to be some quests that need to be handed over," Cold Wind said, sighing. Solid Wind sighed. She then said, "Crazy Bull, you guys come with me. Everyone else, wait outside."
After saying so, Blood Pact's other members expressed their agreement.
At this time, aside from Blood Pact, the other adventurer teams also made the same decision. After having their Tier 3 experts complete their quests in the city, they planned to leave the Ore Empire. Some even planned to develop in other Guild Cities and Towns.
Following which, a small number of Tier 3 experts lined up before Silverwing City's entrance and entered the city.
