Chapter 1 Awestruck

As the burly man asked his question, the Crimson Emperor Guild members present couldn't help but look at Huan Yu.

The ‘Stone Forest City’ before them was just too shocking. It was hard to imagine that it was only an intermediate city.

Before, they had been active in the level 100 maps surrounding the Ten Saints Empire. They only knew that Stone Forest City was in the Cold Spring Grand Forest. This was their first time in the Cold Spring Grand Forest, and only Huan Yu, who liked to level up everywhere, had actually been to Stone Forest City.

"The coordinates are correct; this should be Stone Forest City." Huan Yu couldn't help but smile wryly at the burly man's question. "Moreover, the information displayed on the city gate over there also says Stone Forest City, so we shouldn't have come to the wrong place."

Before seeing the city information displayed on the city gate, she even had the illusion that she had come to the wrong place.

After all, this was completely different from the Stone Forest City she had seen before, not at all inferior to those NPC major cities. Not to mention the amazing mana, even the mana of Titan Sacred City was probably weaker than here. It didn't seem like a guild city that players could own.

After Huan Yu finished speaking, the Crimson Emperor Guild members present reacted and checked the city information one by one, discovering that everything was indeed as Huan Yu said, a genuine Stone Forest City.

At this time, not only the Crimson Emperor Guild members who dared to come, but also some experts from various major forces who had just run to Stone Forest City to take a look were shocked by the promoted Stone Forest City.

They didn't expect that the upgrade from a beginner guild city to an intermediate one would be such a huge boost.

"Hei Yan's methods are really amazing. With such amazing mana, even with the threat of the Dark World now, players will probably enter Stone Forest City to rest like crazy. Just this wave of city entry fees will probably allow Zero Wing to stop worrying about money." Xinghe Wangxi, the president of the Galaxy Alliance, stood at the gate of Stone Forest City, looking at the magnificent Stone Forest City, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Once upon a time, in Star-Moon Kingdom, their Galaxy Alliance was on par with Zero Wing. Now their Galaxy Alliance was still worrying about the guild's income every day, while Zero Wing could count money until their hands cramped...

Nowadays, the main income of major guilds can be said to come from city entry fees. However, because there are more and more guild cities in neutral maps, major guilds have lowered the entry fees very low in order to compete for players. Stone Forest City, as the only guild city in the level 100 neutral map, basically had a monopoly.

"Earning is certain, and it will be a big profit. You've only just arrived at Stone Forest City, so you probably don't know how crazy this Zero Wing is. Their entry fee is only five silver coins per person, said to be the lowest standard for intermediate cities. You should know that other neutral map guild cities charge at least two silver coins per person, and the conditions are far worse than Stone Forest City. Now many of my friends are planning to develop in Stone Forest City. At that time, the number of players entering Stone Forest City will probably be more than ten times higher than now." A third-order free shield warrior who was also in line nodded in agreement.

"Five silver coins?" Liu Qianqian, a third-order ranger behind Xinghe Wangxi, couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, not daring to believe what the third-order shield warrior said.

Their first-rate guild cities had to lower the price of entry fees because of the many competitors, but Stone Forest City was unique. Not to mention the previous ten silver coins, even twenty silver coins would probably attract a large number of players to develop there. After all, there were too many players in God's Domain, and there were countless expert players alone. Just a Stone Forest City couldn't accommodate so many players.

The number of players a city can accommodate is limited. If they want to make as much money as possible without worrying about players, increasing the entry fee is the most correct approach, but now Zero Wing is not increasing but decreasing, which is simply unbelievable.

At this time, not only the experts from the Galaxy Alliance in line, but even the Crimson Emperor Guild members in line behind were stunned.

If such a resting holy land didn't charge twenty silver coins, they would feel sorry for the city. They even planned to pay thirty silver coins per person. After all, such a rich mana would definitely greatly increase the recovery speed, and the improvement speed of combat practice in Stone Forest City would also be very amazing. For experts like them, spending thirty silver coins was definitely not a loss, but a big profit.

But what was with the five silver coins?

"So this is Hei Yan's trump card. This approach is smart. He knows that the opening of the Dark World's passage won't be too long, so he plans to earn a wave first, so that he can spend time with those people in the Dark World later?" The burly man couldn't help but say after hearing the conversation between Xinghe Wangxi and others.

If the entry fee was raised to twenty or thirty silver coins, Stone Forest City would be overcrowded afterwards, but this would take a lot of time. After all, the players who can afford this money are not ordinary.

On the other hand, an entry fee of five silver coins can be afforded even by ordinary level 100 players, and these players are the most numerous in God's Domain. At that time, Stone Forest City can enter a saturated state in less than two or three days. Even if it's only five silver coins per person, the income is very considerable.

And in this kind of field battle, spending money is like water. Without a certain amount of economy, you can't resist it at all.

"If that's the case, then Flame Light of Demon's Heart will probably have a headache. In just two or three days, this entry fee will allow Zero Wing to earn at least one million gold coins, plus the commercial income brought by the population explosion, at least two million as a base. With so many gold coins, it's enough for Zero Wing to support itself for a long time." Huan Yu smiled.

Originally, she also felt that Zero Wing would have a hard time, but the current Stone Forest City was really beyond her expectations. It would definitely be much more difficult for Demon's Heart to move Zero Wing.

"Although Zero Wing's approach is very wise, unfortunately, it's too late." The burly man glanced at Huan Yu and shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Huan Yu asked strangely.

"I didn't tell you before, but in fact, the Elders have secretly obtained accurate information. Demon's Heart has already taken action. In at most one day, the passage to the Dark World will open, and then the major forces and free experts of the Dark World will flock to the Cold Spring Grand Forest." The burly man looked at Huan Yu and said quietly, "Even if Zero Wing has Stone Forest City to collect money, there won't be enough time."

Stone Forest City is very attractive to players, especially those ordinary players, but it will take a long time for those ordinary players to dare to come after receiving the news. You must know that they spent a lot of teleportation fees. Ordinary players all take airships, and their escape mounts are at least mithril-grade, while ordinary level 100 players only have ordinary mounts.

In one day, coupled with the spread of news, ordinary players will probably not have arrived in Stone Forest City from the major kingdoms and empires before the Cold Spring Grand Forest starts to fight.

Just as the burly man and Huan Yu were chatting quietly, and the major forces were amazed by the new Stone Forest City, Shi Feng also quietly teleported back to White River City alone, preparing to improve the Knight Order.

In God's Domain, expert players are certainly the foundation of a guild, but if you want to gain a foothold in a neutral map above level 100, the Knight Order is also of paramount importance.

Before, because he had no gold coins, he didn't dare to really improve the Knight Order.

Especially now that Stone Forest City is the first to be promoted to an intermediate city in a level 100 map, the first wave will definitely recruit many knights with high potential.

Moreover, with the Western Continent materials sold by Bai Qingxue, plus the entry fee for Stone Forest City, the gold coins in his backpack not only did not decrease, but increased to five million gold coins. It would be a pity if he didn't use them...

Star-Moon Kingdom, White River City Adventurer's Association Hall.

With the news of Stone Forest City breaking out, after Shi Feng came to the Adventurer's Association, the players in the entire hall were discussing the affairs of Stone Forest City. Many free players expressed their desire to develop in Stone Forest City, especially those small adventure teams with their own personal teams, and Shi Feng, wearing a black cloak, also came to the second floor VIP box of the Adventurer's Association alone.

"Respected Bronze Inheritor, is there anything I can do for you?" Lolan, a senior executive of the Adventurer's Association, walked up to Shi Feng and asked with a smile.

"I want to see the current recruitment situation and transfer list of my Knight Order." Shi Feng said with a smile.
