Although the inspector's expression darkened at the price of five Magic Crystals, the result displayed was insignificant compared to the Magic Crystals he had lost.
"Is the inspection device broken?" The inspector hurriedly began to inspect the device. An SS rank evaluation had never appeared in White River City's history. In fact, such an evaluation had never existed in the entire Starmoon Kingdom.
"Isn't this result a little too exaggerated?!" Shifeng could not believe his eyes.
As far as he could remember, ever since God's Domain's development began a decade ago, there had never been an SSS rank evaluation. At most, there had been an S rank evaluation. Moreover, those results could be counted on one hand.
After obtaining an A rank evaluation, there was a chance that a Personal Guard could become a Dark-Gold Guard. However, the chances of this happening were extremely small.
Only with an S rank evaluation would one have a much higher chance of becoming a Dark-Gold Guard.
Back then, when an S rank evaluation had appeared, it had shocked the entire God's Domain. Many of God's Domain's apex characters had come to compete for it.
With a Dark-Gold Guard, there was a 100% chance of nurturing a Tier 5 Personal Guard. If one was willing to pay a huge price, there was even a chance of nurturing a Tier 6 God-ranked Personal Guard.
Back then, Tier 5 players were as rare as a phoenix's feather in God's Domain, not to mention Tier 6 God-ranked players.
If a Guild managed to nurture a Tier 5 player, they would celebrate for three days and three nights, not to mention a Tier 5 NPC Personal Guard. A Tier 5 NPC Personal Guard was much stronger than an ordinary Tier 5 player.
What was the reason for this?
It was very simple. Firstly, it was due to the difference in Attributes. Without any equipment, NPCs' Basic Attributes were much higher than players'. Secondly, it was due to equipment.
Personal Guard equipment in God's Domain was different from player equipment. Personal Guards' top-tier equipment could be purchased directly from NPC Shops. There was no lack of Epic Equipment and Set Equipment. If one was lucky, they could even purchase Fragmented Legendary items. In other words, as long as one had the money, they could purchase top-tier equipment for Personal Guards.
As for players?
Even Dark-Gold Equipment would require a lot of effort to obtain, not to mention Epic Equipment and Fragmented Legendary Equipment that suited a player's needs. Which one of these items did not require endless time and effort to obtain?
Hence, as long as a Personal Guard reached Tier 5, their strength would immediately reach the peak of Tier 5. Players, on the other hand, had to take their time to improve. Personal Guards had to obtain weapons, equipment, and other items suitable for their Tier 5 classes.
Meanwhile, if news of this SSS rank were to spread, it would definitely cause a commotion in God's Domain.
"It seems I've struck it rich this time." Shifeng could not help but laugh as he looked at the confused Anna.
The evaluation range he knew was S grade. As for SSS grade, there was no such information. Perhaps it had appeared in his previous life, but if the players themselves did not speak of it, who would know?
Moreover, the majority of powerful guards in the past had not been recruited from ordinary NPCs. Instead, they had been recruited directly from NPCs with classes or high-tiered NPCs.
After all, the fact that an NPC could reach such a high tier was already extraordinary. Naturally, their potential would not be lacking. However, the higher a tier an NPC was, the more difficult it would be to recruit them as a guard. The effort and time required would also increase.
Now that Shifeng saw the SSS rating, he didn't know what Anna's potential was.
However, a Fine-Gold Guard shouldn't be able to escape.
After a while, the inspector confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the instrument and looked at Anna in shock. Aside from shock, there was also a hint of respect in the inspector's eyes.
"Miss Anna, you are the first person in White River City's history to obtain an SSS rank evaluation. According to the Adventurer's Association's regulations, you are now an Honorary Elder of the Association. We will also prepare an Epic Set Equipment and a Tier 1 Class Emblem suitable for you. We will also send a special instructor to guide you. Please wait here for a moment." The inspector was extremely respectful toward Anna, even more humble than he was toward Shifeng.
To NPCs, Shifeng were merely nobles. However, Anna, who had obtained an SSS rank evaluation, would become an absolute powerhouse in the future. She would even become an Honorary Elder of the Adventurer's Association. No matter how one looked at it, her status was much higher than that of Shifeng.
"Lord Viscount. As the person who recommended you, the Adventurer's Association will reward you accordingly. Please wait here for a moment. "After the inspector finished speaking, he immediately left the examination room to contact the Association's upper echelons.
Shifeng and Anna then went to the VIP reception room beside the examination room to wait.
Time passed, little by little.
Batch after batch of players entered and exited the examination room. Very few players left the examination room with smiles on their faces. Even so, there was an endless stream of players who came to recommend Anna.
"It would be great if I could get my hands on a detection device." Shifeng looked at the long line of people waiting in front of him. Envy filled his heart.
Although Candlelight was very profitable, it was nothing compared to the detection device.
However, if he wanted to earn money from the detection device, he first needed to establish an Adventurer's Association.
As for the Adventurer's Association, each city could only establish one. If players wished to establish an Adventurer's Association, they needed to establish a city or town.
"After completing this quest, it's about time to make some preparations." Shifeng could not help but think of establishing a small town.
If a Guild wanted to earn enough money to sustain a large Guild's daily expenses, it needed its own territory.
This territory was not a Guild Residence, but a city.
This was also why so many Guilds in the past had fought each other to the death. Their goal was that player-built cities could bring them unimaginable benefits.
Compared to owning a city, establishing a trading firm was nothing.
Only, establishing a city was extremely difficult. Even if one succeeded, whether or not they could defend it was a big problem.
Although Shi Feng could not establish a city yet, he could start the preparatory work. This way, once the Guild was strong enough, it could quickly establish a small town.
Meanwhile, the biggest problem with constructing a city was the various resources required. The manpower and material resources required could instantly bankrupt a first-rate Guild. Even the current Zero Wing was in such a predicament. Among these resources, the most important were the various designs and magic arrays for the various city buildings.
Without these, even if he had wood, stone, and other materials, he could only look at them.
If he wanted to obtain these designs and magic matrices, he'd have to clear out the dark forces and large-scale Team Dungeons on the continent of God's Domain. From there, he'd have to slowly collect the materials and designs.
Just as Shifeng was thinking of a way to obtain these designs, the reception room's heavy wooden doors opened. Three NPCs then entered the room.
Of these three NPCs, one was the detection officer from before. The other two NPCs were a black-clad old man wearing a black felt hat, and the last was a beautiful upper-class woman in luxurious mage robes.
The black-clad old man was a Level 200, Tier 4 Black Wizard. His strength was almost on par with White River City's Magistrate, Weissman. He was White River City's guardian NPC.
