Chapter 1 The Witch's Hill

Star-Moon Kingdom Region System Announcement: A player has triggered the new expansion pack, Otherworld. It will be available at the Witch's Hill in six hours.

Star-Moon Kingdom Region System Announcement: The Gate to Another World has opened. A large amount of energy from Another World is flowing into the Witch's Hill, causing the magic power of the Witch's Hill to fall into a state of chaos. Please be careful when exploring the wilderness.

…

The sudden system announcement caught the players of the Star-Moon Kingdom off guard for a moment, but after a few seconds, all the players in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom were in an uproar.

"What's going on? Another new expansion pack?"

"This new expansion pack is amazing. It opens up the Otherworld. Does that mean we can go to the Otherworld to level up? I heard that the resources in the Otherworld are much richer than in the Shen域 Continent."

"I heard that too. Not only are there more resources in the Otherworld, but even the leveling speed is faster than in the outside world."

"We're going to enter the Otherworld at the Witch's Hill in six hours? Then I have to go and see. The high-resource areas in the wilderness are all occupied by the major guilds. It's difficult for us free players to earn some money to upgrade our equipment. The major guilds don't know what's going on in this Otherworld, so we can just go and make a fortune first."

…

As soon as the new expansion pack came out, the vast majority of free players in the Star-Moon Kingdom chose to rush to the Witch's Hill as soon as possible, and even many adventure teams took action.

Because the resources in the Star-Moon Kingdom are fixed, the opportunities to earn money and upgrade are becoming less and less. Now that a new thing has finally come out, and the major guilds have not fully intervened, it is definitely a great opportunity for them to earn money and upgrade.

After all, as the level increases, everyone feels that money is not enough. Even though everyone's daily income is constantly increasing, the daily expenses are also increasing. For example, weapons and equipment. After reaching level 50, the number of top-quality weapons and equipment drops sharply, and even ordinary weapons and equipment are the same, causing the price of weapons and equipment after level 50 to skyrocket, and the repair costs are also the same.

Moreover, the higher the level, the farther the place, and the more the teleportation fee costs. The environment in high-level places is generally very bad, and you need to buy corresponding potions, props, or weapons and equipment to improve better, and all of these cost money.

In addition, there are more and more services that can be enjoyed in the Shen域 Continent, such as gourmet food, fine wine, and various entertainments. These are essential entertainment for players after adventures. There are also the costs of job transfers and learning magic skills. Especially if you want to have your own home in an NPC city, it always feels like it is not enough no matter how you look at it.

Many players now wish they could split their time in Shen域 in half to use it…

Now that there is finally an opportunity, how could everyone let it go?

At the same time, the major guilds of the Star-Moon Kingdom also held meetings as soon as possible to discuss the newly emerged Gate to Another World.

"Going to the Otherworld? This is an opportunity for our guild. I heard that the guilds in the Black Dragon Empire made a lot of money because of the appearance of the Ice Crystal World. We must seize the important resources inside before other guilds."

"But the Witch's Hill is the territory of the Zero Wing Guild. If we want to act in the Otherworld, I'm afraid…"

"What are you afraid of? Now that the Otherworld appears in the Star-Moon Kingdom, the major guilds of the Star-Moon Kingdom will definitely pour in. How can the Zero Wing Guild manage it? But you reminded me of one thing. From now on, immediately start raising funds and try to build a town in the Witch's Hill."

After receiving the news, the major guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom chose to let the guild's advance troops go and test the waters as soon as possible, while preparing to build a town in the Witch's Hill. After all, every idiot can see that due to the appearance of the Gate to Another World, a large number of players will definitely pour in. So many players are all resources.

If a guild town can be built in the Witch's Hill, it will definitely make a fortune.

It was only ten minutes after the system announcement, and Aqua Rose, who was resting in Zero Wing City, was frightened by the latest Zero Wing City data.

In just over ten minutes, the number of players pouring into Zero Wing City had increased by more than 100,000, increasing Zero Wing City's revenue by hundreds of gold coins, and also received many players who wanted to rent shops in Zero Wing City, as many as hundreds.

You must know that before this, major merchants and merchant players were hesitant about the high-priced shops in Zero Wing City, and very few actually rented them. After all, Zero Wing City's asking price was very high, and without certain skills, it would not be possible to earn it back, but now hundreds of people want to rent.

But this is still not the most surprising thing.

What is really surprising is that dozens of companies and groups have expressed their desire to purchase virtual shops in Zero Wing City, and each one has quoted a high price, which made Aqua Rose very tempted after seeing the quotes.

You must know that the Zero Wing Guild is already very large, but it is still far behind in earning credits. Generally, it can only earn money by selling weapons and equipment or completing high-level commissioned tasks. The ability to earn credits from virtual shops is extremely weak. After all, this thing requires a large number of talents to do, and it is not wise to exchange gold coins and resources for credits.

Therefore, Zero Wing is very weak in its ability to earn credits, even not as good as the level of second-rate guilds.

Because of the lack of credits, the development of the Zero Wing Guild is greatly restricted. If a large amount of funds can be introduced, it will undoubtedly allow the Zero Wing Guild to cultivate more internal members and better manage the guild.

Immediately, Aqua Rose reported this matter to Shi Feng and asked Shi Feng to make a decision.

"So many?" Shi Feng looked at the list of companies and groups willing to purchase virtual shops in Zero Wing City and their asking prices, and couldn't help but smile, "Tell them that the virtual shops in Zero Wing City are only for rent and not for sale. They will be publicly auctioned at the Candlelight Firm in Zero Wing City in two days."

He was not surprised by this. As soon as the Gate to Another World appears, the Witch's Hill will become the center of the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, and the number of players coming over will be very amazing, and tens of millions are just a small number.

Before, Zero Wing City was just located in a small place like the Witch's Hill. In front of major companies and groups, it was very good to be able to gather so many players, but how long could it last?

But the appearance of the Gate to Another World is different. Even if the player's level becomes higher, the Otherworld is very large and can provide players with continuous improvement inside. It is not limited to levels 60 or 70. Players above level 100 can enter to level up, just not as big as Shen域. It can be said that as long as the Gate to Another World is there, the popularity of the Witch's Hill will continue.

Therefore, the temptation for these companies and groups can be imagined.

"Not for sale?" Aqua Rose couldn't help but worry, "But if we do this, they probably won't agree. After all, there are too many variables in renting. Only by buying it can they operate with peace of mind. If we don't take this opportunity to make a fortune now, the major guilds will definitely build a large number of guild towns in the Witch's Hill in the future, and we will be very passive then."

"Don't worry, there will be results in two days." Shi Feng smiled and didn't say anything more.

Just as Aqua Rose said, when the Gate to Another World first appeared, a large number of guilds were building towns in the Witch's Hill, and it can be said that the competition was very fierce.

However, it is not so easy for guild towns to stay in a place like the Witch's Hill for a long time.

Aqua Rose saw that Shi Feng was determined, so she could only helplessly pass on what Shi Feng said to these big groups and big companies without changing a word.
