Blackwing City's Auction Hall:
The moment the Strengthening Device appeared, the various Guild members in the hall frantically contacted their respective Guilds' upper echelons.
Previously, the Strengthening Device had already become famous in the large Auction House. It had even caused a commotion on God's Domain's forums.
Currently, the monsters in God's Domain were becoming increasingly powerful.
Ordinary players' equipment would be heaven-defying if they only lasted a dozen or so hours in the fields. If they frequently fought Elite monsters or even stronger, their equipment would deplete at a much faster rate. Normally, they would only last seven or eight hours. If it were the elite members of a large Guild, they might be able to last a little longer.
However, the distance between grinding locations was increasing. Just a round trip was no longer easy. One could even say that the time it took to travel was longer than the time it took to grind monsters.
To the elite members and upper echelons of Guilds, time was money.
This was especially true for Guild experts.
To develop their Guilds, not only did these experts need to maintain their lead in Levels, but they also needed to raid Dungeons and grind for equipment. Naturally, these experts could not waste their time traveling.
Normally, these experts would equip themselves with top-tier equipment. However, such a consumption was simply too extravagant for Guilds.
During the Auction House, the various large Guilds had immediately experimented with the Strengthening Device after obtaining it. During the Auction House's duration, the various large Guilds had also calculated the Strengthening Device's effects.
Previously, they had only obtained a rough estimate through the introduction. Now that they had experimented with the Strengthening Device, the various large Guilds were shocked.
Although the Strengthening Device only increased a player's field combat time by three to four times, the better their equipment was, the more effective the enhancement would be. In addition, when players fought, the Strengthening Device's Durability would first deplete the Strengthening Device's Durability. It would not decrease the equipment's Durability.
In other words, as long as players had the Strengthening Device, they could continue to fight in the fields without needing any backup equipment. They also did not need to return to the city to repair their equipment. This would save a lot of time for Guild experts.
When used on ordinary or elite players … Although the Strengthening Device's price of 10 Gold per piece was extravagant, it was not extravagant at all when used on expert players. On the contrary, it was a profit.
Unfortunately, the Strengthening Device was only available in large Auction Houses. Even if one had the money, they could not purchase it. This situation had driven many large Guilds, who had not participated in the Auction House, crazy.
Now that the Strengthening Device was available in the Auction House, why wouldn't the various large Guilds go crazy over it?
In the few minutes after the Strengthening Device went on sale, a single Strengthening Device's price had exceeded 9 Gold. And the price was still soaring.
Even Shifeng did not expect the Strengthening Device to be so popular. As soon as he walked out of the Auction House, he saw groups of players rushing into the Auction House. It was much more lively than before.
"Yes. Why did Feng Qianyu suddenly contact me?" Just as Shifeng was about to leave Blackwing City, he received a call from Feng Qianyu. However, the person who contacted him was not Ye Feng, but Hei Yan.
"President Hei Yan, have you heard? There are players selling Strengthening Devices in the Blackwing Auction House," Feng Qianyu said, smiling.
"Yeah, I just found out too." The Shifeng had already disguised himself as Hei Yan and nodded. "But Phoenix Pavilion Master, what's the matter?"
"I wish to purchase a large number of Strengthening Devices, so I wish to borrow some money from you. Of course, I won't be lending it to you for free. I can give you 30% interest and return it to you in three days. Alternatively, you can purchase a plot of Land in one of the Black Dragon Empire's main cities with high potential. "Feng Qianyu smiled as he proposed an attractive offer.
Originally, she had not wanted to borrow money from Xiang Shifeng. However, now that the Strengthening Device had appeared, in addition to her new understanding of the device, this was a great opportunity for the Phoenix Pavilion to surpass the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.
Level 40 was a watershed. With the Strengthening Device, she could quickly raise a batch of experts to Level 40. At Level 40, even if they only used Common Mounts, their leveling speed would skyrocket. They could also explore new maps before other Guilds.
However, she had already used the money she had on hand to purchase plenty of items. She simply did not have the money to compete for the Strengthening Device, not to mention the money for a Level 40 Mount. Hence, she had offered such generous conditions.
Of course, the main reason she had sought Shifeng out to borrow money was that the Ling YI Society was simply too wealthy.
The Ling YI Society had very few members. The various Guild Departments were also incomplete. Their expenditure was also very low. Yet, not only did the Ling YI Society possess Candlelight, which looked down on the Starmoon Kingdom, but it also possessed the enviable Stone Forest Town. The speed at which the Ling YI Society earned wealth was no less than that of a super-first-rate Guild like herself.
One in, one out.
This made the wealth Ling Yi possessed so much that even she, the Pavilion Master of a super-first-rate Guild, felt envious. Just from Ye Feng's bid in the Auction House, she could tell how wealthy Ling Yi was.
"Alright, but I want to purchase Land in the Black Dragon Empire's Lake Heart City." Shifeng was overjoyed when he heard this. He had not expected Feng Qianyu to be so stingy. "However, let me say this first. I have other uses for the Coins I have on hand. If it's too expensive, I won't buy it."
The potential Lands in the Black Dragon Empire's major cities had long since been plundered. Although Shi Feng had previously purchased some and opened Candlelight, how could they compare to the massive Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion?
At this moment, the various large Guilds had long since purchased most of the potential Lands in the major cities. Even if Ling Yi had the money to purchase them, nobody would be willing to sell them. Now that Feng Qianyu was willing to sell a potential Land, she naturally had to buy it. In the future, the value of these Lands would multiply.
This was especially true for the Black Dragon Empire's Lake Heart City.
Lake Heart City was a small island city in the Black Dragon Empire. This small island was located in the middle of the Fog Lake, the largest lake in the Black Dragon Empire. The island was rich in one item.
That item was Ice Jade.
By itself, Ice Jade could increase a player's Ice Resistance. It could even be processed to produce Ice Resistance Gemstones that could be embedded into equipment, greatly increasing a player's Ice Resistance. During the early stages of the game, Ice Jade was worthless. However, once players reached Level 50, its value would multiply. Demand for Ice Jade could not meet the demand on the market. At the same time, the value of Lake Heart City's Lands would multiply.
Back then, Ling Yi had wanted to purchase a lot of Land. However, she had limited funds. She could only purchase Lands in a limited number of major cities. Although she had the money to purchase them later, the potential Lands in Lake Heart City had long since been sold out. She could not afford the golden Lands, nor did she have the Reputation to do so. Hence, she could only find someone to purchase Common Land.
"Lake Heart City?" After some investigation, Feng Qianyu discovered that she had two potential Lands in Lake Heart City under her name. Moreover, although Lake Heart City was a major city, there were not many players in the city. It was a holy land for casual players. She had never thought that Shifeng would be interested in this city. "Alright. I have a potential Land not far from the Auction House. I'll sell it to you for 6,200 Gold. However, I'll need to borrow another 4,000 Gold. I'll return the 4,000 Gold to you in three days. How about it?"
"Alright." When the Shifeng saw the location map sent by Feng Qianyu, he was immediately overjoyed. With this Land, he would have enough money to construct his city.
