The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Night had already fallen in God's Domain. ←,.
As the number one city in the Starmoon Kingdom, Star-Moon City was currently brightly lit. Magic lamps littered the streets, illuminating the city as if it were daytime.
"As expected of Star-Moon City. Its population is not something a border city like White River City can compare to." Shifeng could not help but sigh as he walked through the crowded streets.
Currently, players' levels were not low. Many players could afford the teleportation fees between cities.
Star-Moon City had a player population of nearly 5,000,000, which was more than 2,000,000 more than White River City. If Shi Feng could control Star-Moon City, the benefits it could bring to a Guild's development would be significant. It would far surpass the benefits of controlling four or five major cities.
In addition, Star-Moon City's surroundings had plenty of resources. Hence, the powers within the city were a mixed bag. Aside from the three first-rate Guilds, there were also first-rate Guilds from other kingdoms and empires. There were also plenty of second-rate Guilds that had taken root and developed in the city. The competition here was extremely intense. White River City could not compare to the competition here. Even the average level of ordinary players here was much higher than in White River City.
A short moment later, Shifeng arrived at Star-Moon City's City Hall on a horse carriage.
An awe-inspiring man with a stocky build stood by the entrance of the City Hall. This man was none other than Lifeless Blade, the Ghost of the Raid Guide.
At this moment, Lifeless Blade had already reached Level 26. He was not the least bit inferior to Shifeng.
When Lifeless Blade saw Shifeng, he was momentarily stunned. Following which, he revealed a bitter smile.
Although Shifeng's appearance had not changed at all, the difference between their innards was like heaven and earth. The last time Lifeless Blade met Shifeng, he felt that they were very ordinary. Now, however, every one of their actions gave off an indescribable feeling of naturalness. The pressure Lifeless Blade gave off felt as if he were facing a Lord ranked monster.
The last time Lifeless Blade met Shifeng, he had learned a lot from their discussion about combat techniques. Moreover, Shifeng had provided him with plenty of quests that could increase his Reputation, instantly raising his Reputation to the level of a noble. This had greatly facilitated the development of his team. Hence, Lifeless Blade was very grateful to Shifeng.
During this period, he had raided quite a few Team Dungeons. He had even raided Hell Mode Team Dungeons. He had also participated in countless PvP battles in the fields. His strength had increased by quite a bit, but compared to the Shifeng, it was like heaven and earth.
"Brother Ye Feng, I've already completed the task you requested," Lifeless Blade said worriedly when he saw Shifeng walking over. Brother Ye Feng, the piece of land you're talking about is too far away from the city's bustling district. Even if you buy it, you'll still suffer a loss. With the same amount of money, you can buy a piece of land in the bustling district. It really isn't a good deal. "
"It's fine. I just want a quiet place." Shifeng smiled.
Star-Moon City was massive, and there were plenty of Lands in the city. However, the prices of the Lands in Star-Moon City were not the least bit cheaper than in White River City. Even the Common Lands in the city had a minimum price of 2,000 Gold. With that amount of money, one could purchase one of the few plots of Land in White River City. Meanwhile, the prices of the central areas were over 6,000 Gold, while the prices of the golden areas were over 14,000 Gold. Compared to White River City, the prices of the central areas were more than double.
It was precisely because of this that the Guilds in the capital city were so worried that their hair would fall off.
There was no point in spending 2,000 Gold to purchase a useless plot of Land. However, it would take a long time to raise 6,000 Gold. Not to mention, the Land in the golden areas. Hence, even now, nobody was interested in the capital city's Lands.
However, the many Guilds in Star-Moon City had overlooked one point.
Since the capital city's Lands were so expensive, wouldn't the Guilds that developed in the capital city suffer a huge loss during the early stages of the game?
Setting aside the high prices of the Lands, there was also the difficulty of earning Reputation. No matter how one looked at it, the capital city's Lands would be detrimental to a Guild's development during the early stages of the game. In reality, however, this was not the case. Only, nobody had a deep understanding of Star-Moon City's commercial Lands.
Only later on did everyone realize that some of the Common Lands in Star-Moon City were actually better than the Lands in the central area. These Lands were the Lands next to some special buildings.
Star-Moon City was the center of the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Many powerful high-tiered NPCs had gathered here. There were also many places that other cities did not have. Although these places were not as popular as the Auction Houses, Banks, and Warehouses, the player traffic in these places far surpassed the many Lands in the central area.
In Shi Feng's previous life, many Guilds and players had managed to make a fortune by selling these Lands.
At this moment, Shifeng wanted to purchase one of these Lands. It was a plot of Land next to the Underground Arena.
Although very few players currently visited the Underground Arena, as the Arena's duels grew in popularity, more and more players would enter the Underground Arena. It was especially true for Star-Moon City. Players from other cities and kingdoms would frequently visit the Underground Arena. The player traffic there was even more frightening.
If possible, Shifeng really wanted to purchase all of the nearby Lands. Unfortunately, he did not have that much money on him right now …
"Do as you wish. In any case, you'll be the one paying for it," Lifeless Blade sighed as he shook his head.
The plot of Land that Shifeng had set his eyes on cost nearly 3,000 Gold, including the transfer fee. They could definitely choose a good plot of Land that was very close to the central area.
Following which, Lifeless Blade led Shifeng into the City Hall to complete the purchase and transfer procedures.
After a dozen or so minutes, Shifeng had obtained the best plot of Land in the Underground Arena. Moreover, they had spent over 1,000 Gold to construct the best Shop there. They had even hired 15 high-tiered NPCs to manage the Shop daily.
Lifeless Blade was dumbfounded when he saw Shifeng spending nearly 4,000 Gold Coins like water. This was the first time he had seen such a prodigal son like Shifeng. Forget about the Land; it was clearly just an ordinary plot of Land. Yet, they still wanted to construct the best Shop there, spending over 1,000 Gold.
Their team could be considered very wealthy in Star-Moon City. Yet, they only had several dozen Gold on hand.
Even first-rate Guilds could not take out 1,000 Gold in one go. Yet, Shifeng had spent so much as if they were buying cabbages …
Lifeless Blade even suspected that the Ling YI Society behind Shifeng was a money-making company. This was simply bullying ordinary players like them.
Shifeng only smiled at Lifeless Blade's thoughts, not bothering to explain.
With the Candlelight Shop constructed on this plot of Land, he would have the foundation to plunder Star-Moon City's resources. As long as he sold the Strengthened Armor Kits in limited quantities here, the players who needed them would have no choice but to purchase them from White River City's Candlelight.
As time passed, he would not have to worry about these players not migrating to White River City to develop.
This way, he could secretly plunder Star-Moon City's player population. As time passed, Star-Moon City's players would eventually become White River City's players.
By the time the Guilds plundering Star-Moon City reacted, it would already be too late.
