Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1772 Acting City Lord
The City Hall of Cold Wind City.
After Shi Feng entered the hall, he could see many Black Flame players at the front desk accepting city quests. Obviously, they had no intention of giving up Cold Wind City and were preparing for the next competition. They had even accepted two of the top five most difficult contribution quests in Cold Wind City.
There were many contribution quests in Cold Wind City, but the difficulty of any one of them was beyond the capabilities of ordinary expert players. As for the top ten most difficult quests, each one was comparable to an epic quest. Completing these quests would reward about 50 points of city contribution. The top five most difficult quests rewarded over 100 points of city contribution.
Accepting these quests required paying a considerable deposit. The top five quests generally required a deposit of 500 gold coins plus 5,000 Magic Crystals. If the quest could not be completed, these deposits would not be refunded.
Black Flame took two of the top five quests in one go. The gold coins spent were a minor matter, but the 10,000 Magic Crystals were a significant amount even for a first-rate guild, especially in a foreign world like the Ice Crystal World, where Magic Crystals were not abundant.
However, Shi Feng didn't think too much about it and directly followed the NPC Senior Deacon to the office of the magistrate of Cold Wind City, preparing to take over part of the authority of Cold Wind City.
In a quiet office filled with a large number of books, a handsome young man in noble attire was writing documents at his desk. Seeing Shi Feng enter, he immediately stopped his work.
This young man was Frost, the magistrate of Cold Wind City, a Tier 4 Sky Knight at level 180. It was rare to become a Tier 4 Sky Knight at such a young age in God's Domain, and his talent and potential could be said to be very high.
"Adventurer, you've arrived." Magistrate Frost looked at Shi Feng entering and said.
"Greetings! Respected Magistrate, I am here on behalf of the Asura adventurer team to become the city lord's proxy and manage Cold Wind City to make a contribution to Cold Wind City," Shi Feng said respectfully.
"I have heard about your affairs. Your Asura adventurer team is very good. You have opened up the Ice Ruins that have been closed for many years and opened up roads to other cities. With such strength, I think Cold Wind City should be a good choice under your management." Magistrate Frost carefully examined Shi Feng, nodded slightly, and then took out a silver token from his desk. The token was engraved with the image of an eagle. "This is the city lord's proxy token. With this token, you will have part of the authority of Cold Wind City. However, I must say that if someone more capable than you appears in Cold Wind City, I will take back this token. I hope you can make good use of this token and bring better development to Cold Wind City!"
With that, Magistrate Frost handed the city lord's proxy token to Shi Feng.
Shi Feng took the token, feeling delighted.
He had finally become the controller of Cold Wind City. With this city lord's proxy token, he was equivalent to half a city lord, possessing high-level authority over the entire Cold Wind City. He could manage the entire Cold Wind City into an iron barrel, making Cold Wind City the base of the Asura adventurer team.
Because after becoming the city lord's proxy, he could directly control several vacant plots of land on the main street in the central area of Cold Wind City. These plots were special privileges given to the city lord's proxy and could be used to directly build advanced buildings, such as advanced blacksmith shops, advanced restaurants, advanced shops, advanced magic stores, and so on.
In particular, the advanced shops could also hold large-scale auctions, where not only players could put things up for auction, but even NPCs would also put things up for sale, but only once a week.
The truly powerful aspect of the city lord's proxy was the ability to build a teleportation magic array, which could build a teleportation square on the central street to teleport players to the border fortresses of Cold Wind City. These border fortresses were all located very far from Cold Wind City, and the map levels in the areas where they were located were all high-resource maps above level 60.
These places were the true resource locations of the alien world, and the focus of competition for the major guilds of God's Domain. Therefore, fortresses were built in these places to protect them, and many guild wars broke out in these maps.
If players set out from Cold Wind City to these border fortresses, they would pass through maps above level 90 or even 100 along the way, which was very dangerous and took a long time. It could be said that teleporting through the teleportation gate was the best choice.
And this teleportation gate was managed by the city lord's proxy. How much money to charge and how to collect the money was all decided by the city lord's proxy. Of course, there were upper and lower limits on how much to charge, and it was not like you could charge whatever you wanted. The city lord's proxy could get 20% of the income from it, which was also the biggest benefit of becoming a city lord's proxy.
Thinking of this, Shi Feng immediately went to the VIP reception room on the second floor and began to discuss the construction of the teleportation magic array with the NPC Senior Deacon.
The sooner this teleportation magic array was built, the more beneficial it would be for the Asura adventurer team.
"City Lord Proxy, this is the teleportation gate information you requested, from small teleportation gates to large teleportation gates." The NPC Senior Deacon took out a list of teleportation gate construction and handed it directly to Shi Feng.
"The cost of building a teleportation gate is really high! No wonder the guilds that occupied alien NPC cities in the previous life were slow to build them." Shi Feng clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at the costs and materials required on the list.
Just building a small teleportation gate required 10,000 gold coins and 80,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport to three fortresses, with a maximum of fifty people teleporting each time.
A medium teleportation gate required 20,000 gold coins and 200,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport to six fortresses, with a maximum of one hundred people teleporting each time, and the teleportation magic power consumed was the same as teleporting fifty people with a small teleportation gate, which meant it could earn more.
A large teleportation gate required 40,000 gold coins and 300,000 Magic Crystals. It could teleport to ten fortresses, with a maximum of two hundred people teleporting each time.
Of course, building these teleportation gates was very beneficial to the development of Cold Wind City, so you could also get a lot of contribution points. It wouldn't be like building the teleportation gates and letting later arrivals get the benefits.
In addition to building teleportation gates, building some advanced buildings would also have more or less contribution points. Because of this, it was difficult for anyone who became a proxy city lord to be surpassed by others.
"City Lord Proxy, because you are the first proxy city lord selected from adventurers, we can offer two special-priced teleportation gates for construction. This is the information." The NPC Senior Deacon then took out two more lists and handed them to Shi Feng. "If you have made your choice, you can tell me at any time."
These two lists described two teleportation gates, both of which were small teleportation gates, but they had one more function than small teleportation gates.
One was that the number of fortresses that could be teleported to could be increased to four, but the price was 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
The other was that it could still teleport to three fortresses, but it could teleport directly to the Ice Ruins Hall in the Ice Rift Valley, priced at 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 Magic Crystals.
"That's ruthless! Adding one more teleportation point costs 20,000 more Magic Crystals." Shi Feng felt that the NPC was black-hearted when he looked at the list, but after thinking about it, this could be considered a benefit for the first proxy city lord. The next proxy city lord would not have this treatment. Then, he said, "Then I will build the teleportation gate that can teleport to the Ice Ruins."
Being able to go to one more fortress was certainly good, but compared to the benefits it brought him, it was better to teleport directly to the Ice Ruins in the short term, especially for their Asura adventurer team, since many players would need to go back and forth between the two areas for a long time.
As he spoke, Shi Feng took out the Magic Crystals he had obtained from selling Ice Resistance Gems during his time in the Ice Ruins.
During this period, another 16,000 Ice Resistance Gems were sold, and another 110,000 Magic Crystals were obtained. Although the Magic Crystals in his hand were not enough to build a medium-sized teleportation gate, building a small teleportation gate was not a problem at all.
