Very quickly, the Shifeng paid the teleportation fee. Each person cost 80 Silver, and each party cost 4 Gold, 80 Silver. To an ordinary party, this was an astronomical sum.
The Great Forest of Soria was a neutral area located between the Black Dragon Empire and the Starmoon Kingdom.
Current players did not possess the strength to survive in this area.
This was because the Great Forest of Soria was also known as the Forest of Death. Compared to ordinary leveling maps, the Great Forest of Soria was at least three to four times more dangerous. The Level 50 to Level 70 leveling maps were also not the greatest threat to the Great Forest of Soria. The reason why the Great Forest of Soria was because there were no human fortresses or gathering points in the Great Forest of Soria.
The Great Forest of Soria was a Half-orc kingdom, and it posed the greatest threat to players. As the Half-orc race was extremely hostile towards outsiders, players could encounter Half-orc patrol teams at any time. Not only were these patrol teams extremely powerful, but they could also summon their companions to surround and annihilate players. Players would have a very difficult time surviving in the forest.
Using the Teleportation Magic Array, the Shifeng and the others were teleported to Starmoon Kingdom's border city, Starfall City.
Starfall City was the second largest city in Starmoon Kingdom's northern region.
Although Star-Moon City was located at the border of a kingdom, it was the most prosperous city in Star-Moon Kingdom's northern region. Just like White River City, Star-Moon City was the city with the highest level of prosperity. Only, Star-Moon City had seven Tier 4 NPCs guarding it. Star-Moon City's defensive power far surpassed White River City's.
"This place is so prosperous!" Hei Zi could not help but exclaim as she looked at the different scenery on the street.
There were many NPC patrols on the street, at least twice as many as in White River City. Aside from the large number of NPC patrols, there were also many merchants. Carriages carrying goods could be seen traveling the streets.
Aside from NPCs, there were also quite a few player merchants among these merchants. These player merchants drove their carriages all over the city. Many players stopped their carriages at a specific location, constantly hawking their wares and purchasing various items.
"What are they doing?"
Ke Le watched as these player merchants frantically purchased various materials, equipment, and other items from other players. There were even some that directly purchased common items from NPC merchants. Moreover, each purchase cost dozens of Gold. With over a hundred Gold, a small Guild could survive for a very long time.
In White River City, no player would be so crazy as to purchase so many common items from NPC merchants. This would be a massive waste of the liquid funds of ordinary Guilds.
"Those people are just reselling goods. I'm just making a profit from the difference, "Shi Feng explained after taking a look.
"Profit from the difference?" Hei Zi was puzzled. "But the price of the items sold by NPCs is the same throughout the entire Starmoon Kingdom. Only some special items can be resold. However, there are simply too few of them. As soon as they are released, the various large Guilds have already snatched them up for their own use. Just who are they selling them to? "
"Of course we're selling it to the players." The Shifeng laughed. "Although the NPC merchants in the Starmoon Kingdom sell normal items at the same price, the prices in other kingdoms and empires are different. Some items are more expensive in the empires, while some are cheaper than in the Starmoon Kingdom. They profit from the difference and sell the cheaper items in the Starmoon Kingdom to the Black Dragon Empire. Then we buy cheap things from the Black Dragon Empire and sell them here. "
"Isn't there a teleportation array there? Wouldn't it be better to use a teleportation array? "Hei Zi asked curiously." Why use carriages? "
"It's simple. The teleportation array's price is too high. Moreover, only the teleportation array in the kingdom's capital can be used to travel to other kingdoms and empires. Each teleportation costs over 1 Gold Coin. The profits of these goods are not high to begin with. Moreover, players can only carry so few items.
"Meanwhile, carriages can carry a lot of items. The space inside a carriage is over ten times that of a player's. Some of the better carriages can hold up to twenty to thirty times that of a player's. Although it will take some time to travel to the Black Dragon Empire through carriages and there is a chance of danger, overall, one can still make a lot of money. Compared to our Guild's elite players, we can earn much more. "
The Shifeng had some understanding of the merchant subclass. In the past, Guilds had often organized caravans to trade with other countries, earning a lot of Guild funds. Meanwhile, Starfall City had a natural advantage over other countries. This was also the reason why many merchants in the Starmoon Kingdom had come here to develop their businesses.
Everyone listened. They had never imagined that a merchant's international trade would be so profitable.
Ling YI Society's benefits were definitely among the best in the entire Starmoon Kingdom. As for the elite members of Ling Yi, they earned more money every day than the elite members of other Guilds. As Ling Yi was a 2-star Guild, the Guild had more high-level quests and better rewards. In fact, the amount of money they earned every day could even rival that of ordinary expert players.
Meanwhile, these merchant players earned more than their Guild's elite players. In other words, they earned more than ordinary experts in God's Domain.
"Alright, let's split up and search for caravans that are about to set off," the Shifeng instructed.
Starfall City was quite far from the Great Forest of Soria. If players relied on running, they would need over ten hours to reach the Great Forest. However, Shifeng's speed was much faster. After all, they had the Seven Luminaries Ring, so it was very convenient for them to teleport to the Great Forest of Soria.
Meanwhile, from Starfall City to the Black Dragon Empire, players had to pass through the Great Forest of Soria's outermost region.
If players used carriages to travel, they would only need three to four hours to reach the Great Forest of Soria. They were much faster than ordinary Mounts.
Meanwhile, caravans traveling to the Black Dragon Empire were not easy. Normally, they would need to hire guards to accompany them. Some powerful players would often accept such escort quests because these quests were very profitable. They were several times more lucrative than high-level quests. Only, these quests required a lot of time.
After a dozen or so minutes, Shiuse Qiangwei found a caravan that was about to set off.
This caravan did not have many carriages, only a dozen or so. Moreover, the caravan was entirely made up of players. It was much safer than a caravan made up of NPCs.
Once a caravan left a city, it would encounter all sorts of trouble, such as monster attacks or robberies. The worst that Shifeng had ever encountered was a Tier 4 Sword Emperor NPC. That NPC was much more powerful than a player's robberies.
Meanwhile, a caravan made up of NPCs would more or less have some NPC guards. Ordinary players would not dare to rob a caravan. The greatest danger came from monsters. However, it was not the same for a caravan made up of players. There would always be plenty of players who had joined the dark forces.
Of course, risk and opportunity existed side by side. If a player's carriage joined an NPC caravan, their profits would be greatly reduced. A single trade would, at most, earn one-third of the profits of a player's own caravan. Of course, to ordinary players, this was already a significant amount.
In other words, a player's own caravan could earn three times more than an NPC's caravan. Naturally, there would be plenty of courageous and powerful players willing to take the risk.
