Chapter 1 The Stockpile

The inventory of the Wanderer's Shop completely exceeded Shi Feng's imagination. Even seeing the number, Shi Feng couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.

"No wonder those forces that obtained the Wanderer's Shops in the previous life developed so quickly. It really is a hidden gold mine." Shi Feng suddenly understood.

In the previous life, there was no shortage of first-rate and second-rate guilds that mixed in the Free Zone. These guilds clearly did not occupy any resource-rich areas and could not dominate the empires and kingdoms, yet they were able to establish themselves in the neutral zone full of super forces, and even become new super forces.

The Wanderer's Shop probably contributed a lot to this.

He had only entered the Four Gods Tower for more than twenty days, and he was able to increase the number of Ancient Gold Coins in the inventory to more than 27,000, which was equivalent to earning more than 1,000 Ancient Gold Coins purely in one day. This amount was probably only surpassed by the fortresses in the Earth's Core Mountains. No shop in Dragonheart City could possibly achieve that.

And this was only a two-star Wanderer's Shop. When it was promoted to a three-star Wanderer's Shop, the items sold in the shop would be tempting even for super forces.

The most important point was that the three-star Wanderer's Shop was a qualitative change. After reaching three stars, the Wanderer's Shop would regularly hold a small black market, which might not be as good as directly teleporting into the black market, but there were no teleportation restrictions. As long as you became a consumer member of the Wanderer's Shop, you could directly participate. By then, the income of the Wanderer's Shop would also increase significantly.

Shi Feng didn't say a word about the more than 27,000 Ancient Gold Coins, took them all out, and rushed to the City Hall.

Originally, Shi Feng planned to buy a guild residence on the outermost periphery of Dragonheart City, so that the guild members would have a free rest area in Dragonheart City, but now that he had so many Ancient Gold Coins, the plan had naturally changed.

Dragonheart City was a neutral free trade metropolis, divided into inner and outer districts, and also a special area.

That was the area near the World Tower!

Because it was close to the World Tower, it was not only convenient to enter and exit the World Tower, but also the concentration of magic power was very high, and there was also a hidden secret.

That was the limit value of the World's Strength.

This could be seen in the Earth's Core Mountains on the first floor of the World Tower, but once you entered the second floor of the underground world, players would feel the malice everywhere in the underground world. Those were the World's Strength repelling and resisting outsiders.

Although it was not like the alien energy in other neutral areas, players in this environment would not only experience a decline in their physique, but even their five senses would become somewhat dull, which had a great impact on players.

Of course, these effects could be improved through the special diet of Dragonheart City, but the cost was really not small. It was likely that an ordinary expert player would not be able to save a penny just on food and drink.

In response, during the long-term exploration of Dragonheart City, everyone discovered one thing: resting in the area around the World Tower would reduce the suppression of the World's Strength after entering the World Tower. Maybe it would still affect the players, but the effect would be reduced by about half.

This way, even without paying high food costs, players could survive in the World Tower.

Because of this, the shops around the World Tower were extremely popular. Even major super forces did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to turn the original shops into hotels. If the area around the World Tower was not forbidden to build guild residences, the area around the World Tower in the previous life would have become a concentration camp full of guild residences.

But even so, the area around the World Tower seemed to have become a tourist attraction, all of which were hotels for players to rest.

In the previous life, these hotels had no share of any first-rate guilds, and even many super forces could not grab them, because there were only thirty-four pieces of land and shops around the World Tower. There were no more, and the size was limited from the beginning, so it could not be expanded.

Now that the major forces in Dragonheart City had not noticed this, Shi Feng certainly could not miss it.

Before, he only had 10,000 Ancient Gold Coins. Not to mention the area around the World Tower, it was difficult to buy a shop even in the outer area. Now that he had more than 27,000 Ancient Gold Coins, he had the confidence to buy in that area.

In the VIP reception room on the second floor of the City Hall, after Shi Feng waited for a while, a beautiful elf with a crescent moon badge walked in.

This beautiful elf was different from ordinary deacons. She was a senior deacon belonging to the City Hall and was also an NPC specializing in selling the land and shops around the World Tower. Moreover, she was a 180-level Tier 4 Great Magister. If ordinary players came, it would be difficult to even say a word to this senior deacon, let alone meet and talk.

It was thanks to Shi Feng being a Bronze Inheritor that he could meet this senior deacon.

"Respected Bronze Inheritor, this is the information on the thirty-four shops and land around the World Tower that you requested. I wonder which one you want to buy?" Senior Deacon Lauren Eileen looked at Shi Feng and asked.

Shi Feng looked at the information on the list, speechless for a long time.

Although he had known that the shops and land here were very expensive, he did not expect them to be so expensive.

Just a piece of land with nothing on it cost 24,000 Ancient Gold Coins, and that was only a small piece of land. A medium-sized piece of land cost a full 45,000 Ancient Gold Coins, not to mention the shops that had already been built. The cheapest was a small one-star restaurant, which cost a full 40,000 Ancient Gold Coins, while the price of a medium-sized two-star hotel broke the sky, reaching 128,000 Ancient Gold Coins...

Seeing this, Shi Feng suddenly felt that even with the Wanderer's Shop, he was just a poor person in the entire Dragonheart City.

"I want this small piece of land." Shi Feng gritted his teeth and chose a piece of land closest to the World Tower.

The shops and land around the World Tower were worth every inch of land. Their rarity was no less than that of the Wanderer's Shop. Buying it would not only be a big profit, but also a great help to the guild.

"Okay, that's a total of 26,500 Ancient Gold Coins." Lauren Eileen nodded.

Shi Feng paid the Ancient Gold Coins speechlessly. In an instant, he had only a little over 1,000 Ancient Gold Coins left. However, Lauren Eileen didn't care about this. After receiving the Ancient Gold Coins, she took out an ancient contract and handed it to Shi Feng.

Seeing the information on the contract, Shi Feng felt a twitch in his heart.

Even a vacant lot with nothing on it required a monthly management fee of 10,000 Ancient Gold Coins, which was even more ruthless than the Wanderer's Shop.

"Forget it, there must be loss before gain. At least those super forces in the previous life were willing to spend millions of Ancient Gold Coins to get a piece of land." Shi Feng thought for a while and felt that he had already made a lot of money. "Next, I only need to get 4,000 Ancient Gold Coins to build a high-level hotel there and start operating officially."

Just as Shi Feng signed all the contracts and was about to leave the City Hall, he suddenly heard a voice call prompt, requesting the call was Bai Qingxue. Then Shi Feng clicked to agree.

"Guild Leader, we've arrived in Dragonheart City." Bai Qingxue said.
