Chapter 180

Vico, the Tier 3 male steward at Level 180, examined the certification token in Shi Feng's hand meticulously.

"Indeed, this is the Guild Certification Token of the God of War Temple," Vico nodded, his gaze towards Shi Feng becoming more respectful. He slowly said, "Esteemed Guild Leader, your certification token is indeed correct. However, with the level of an ordinary guild, you may not be able to settle in the royal city of the Twin Towers Kingdom. You can only choose other cities in the Twin Towers Kingdom to settle in."

"As expected, it's still not possible to settle in the royal city?" Shi Feng wasn't too surprised by Vico's denial. "In that case, Zero Wing will settle in Tianquan City."

Although it was a guild recognized by the God of War Temple, it was just recognition. He thought there might be a chance in the current state of the Twin Towers Kingdom, especially since the kingdom was plagued by Abyss monsters.

But now it seemed he had underestimated the Twin Towers Kingdom.

On second thought, the Towers of Time and the Secret Covenant of the Twin Towers Kingdom illuminated the entire God's Domain continent in the previous life. Its foundation was unmatched by other kingdoms.

Even if it seemed to be in decline now, after the Great Upgrade, a large number of NPCs would appear in the Twin Towers Kingdom. The reversal of the situation was only a matter of time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed here to settle in early.

"That's no problem. Please come with me, and I will handle the formalities for you." Vico immediately led Shi Feng to the office hall on the third floor.

Along the way, Shi Feng could clearly feel that the number of NPCs in the hall had increased significantly.

Tier 3 classes, which were previously rare, could now be seen everywhere. There were more than a dozen at a glance. The lowest level was Level 140, and the highest reached Level 182, which current Tier 3 players couldn't easily contend with.

It was foreseeable that after a large number of NPCs returned, a large number of Tier 3 NPCs would emerge in the entire Twin Towers Kingdom. With the combat power of these NPCs, it wouldn't be impossible to recover the Twin Towers Kingdom and drive the Abyss monsters back to the Abyss.

And the Tianquan City he chose was the closest large NPC city to the Secret Covenant Tower.

Although the current Tianquan City wasn't even in the top fifteen in the Twin Towers Kingdom, after the Great Upgrade, the Secret Covenant Tower became a better place than the Tower of Time.

Because the Secret Covenant Tower was a sacred place for leveling up and obtaining guild resources.

Before God's Domain opened the Great Upgrade, leveling up was a normal thing for players. But after the system's Great Upgrade, leveling up became a journey of death for players.

Without extremely strong strength, from the moment players left the big NPC cities, they had to be prepared to fight for their lives. Because whether it was NPCs or wild monsters, they all used their own thinking. They wouldn't be like dummies for players to farm.

NPCs and monsters would fight desperately when it came to life and death.

So players going to the wild to kill monsters was no longer a simple and boring task of killing monsters to gain experience points, but a battle of life and death. If the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't very obvious, every battle was very exhausting. Players didn't even dare to deal with monsters that were too high in level.

Of course, with the difficulty of killing monsters greatly increased, the experience points for killing monsters were also incomparable to before. The experience points for each monster were more than ten times higher than before, but the matter of leveling up became more and more laborious.

But the Secret Covenant Tower was different.

Beneath the Secret Covenant Tower were countless monsters suppressed in different dimensions. These monsters were all mad and didn't have any intelligence, only killing intent.

The experience points of the monsters inside were the same as outside. The only difference was that it required the payment of magic crystals to enter. As for these monsters, don't think about dropping money or magic crystals. Even the value of the materials dropped was negligible.

But there was one advantage in the Secret Covenant Tower.

Ancient civilizations were hidden in that different dimension. The deeper the layers, the better the ancient civilization items that could be obtained, such as weapon and equipment design drawings, master-level potion formulas, and complete inheritances of Tier 3 classes from ancient civilizations.

That's right!

Complete inheritances of Tier 3 classes were completely different from the scattered Tier 3 inheritances outside. As long as you got the complete inheritance, the difficulty for players to advance to Tier 3 classes could be reduced by a notch, allowing the guild to have a large number of Tier 3 experts. It could be said that as long as the guild got it, it would become the guild's treasure, a hundred times more precious than fragments of legendary items.

However, the complete Tier 3 inheritance was below the eighteenth floor, which was only opened after the God's Domain system's Great Upgrade. In the early stage, the Secret Covenant Tower was just a place for players to level up before Level 100. It was no longer suitable for players to enter after Level 100.

But after the system's Great Upgrade, the Secret Covenant Tower changed.

Because the complete Tier 3 inheritance could greatly increase the guild's strength.

That's why the major forces in the eastern continent of God's Domain flocked to it, making the Secret Covenant Tower famous throughout God's Domain. The Twin Towers Kingdom became one of the most dazzling kingdoms in God's Domain, and Tianquan City became an NPC main city second only to the royal city.

...

After a while, the steward Vico completed all the formalities for Zero Wing to officially settle in Tianquan City.

"Esteemed Guild Leader of Zero Wing, this is your Tianquan City Guild Token." Vico handed a pale gold token to Shi Feng and slowly explained, "This Tianquan City Guild Token has some authority to manage Tianquan City. However, your guild will also be responsible for the security and development of Tianquan City. As a guild that has officially settled in Tianquan City, Zero Wing will receive 10% of Tianquan City's net income as maintenance and management fees."

"No problem, Zero Wing will manage Tianquan City well and make Tianquan City the best city in the Twin Towers Kingdom," Shi Feng nodded.

Once a guild settled in a city, it couldn't be changed casually. It could be said that the guild and the city shared the same fate. That's why even if they had the qualifications to settle in a city, they had to choose carefully.

But this had nothing to do with Shi Feng.

Tianquan City was destined to become one of the core areas of the eastern continent of God's Domain. In terms of various funds and resources, it could surpass the royal cities of many kingdoms. If it developed well in the future, it might even be able to compete with the imperial capitals of empires.

"I hope you can achieve this wonderful goal." Vico was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Shi Feng to be so confident.

"Now that Zero Wing has officially settled in Tianquan City, can we open the city teleportation to Tianquan City now?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ask.

Obtaining resources after settling in Tianquan City was only one aspect.

What was truly important to Zero Wing was city teleportation. This was why the major superpowers were frantically fighting for seats.

"Of course, but the cost of binding the large teleportation magic array in Tianquan City needs to be borne by your guild," Vico nodded and said happily.

"How much does a large teleportation magic array cost?" Shi Feng couldn't help but ask.

"For one, the material cost is 100,000 gold coins, and 30,000 magic crystals. The labor cost is another 5,000 gold coins." Vico calculated and said, "A total of 105,000 gold coins and 30,000 magic crystals."

"You guys are really ruthless. It's just some ordinary materials, and you actually want 100,000 gold coins." Shi Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.

If it was before, he might not have cared, but after building a teleportation magic array, he knew very well that the basic materials didn't cost much at all, at most a few thousand gold coins.

"No, no, no, the Twin Towers Kingdom uses the best materials. There won't be any problems even after a thousand years." Vico shook his head and said very sincerely.

"Okay, 100,000 it is, but I require it to be completed within two hours." Shi Feng looked at the time and said.

Now, almost a whole day had passed since the Great Upgrade.

And the second day after God's Domain Great Upgrade, which was also the first wave of the NPC population explosion, the darkest moment for the major forces, was about to truly arrive.

"That's no problem. May I ask in which guild city you want to build the teleportation magic array?" Vico said confidently.

"Silverwing City!" Shi Feng thought for a while and said.

Zero Wing's future development and resistance against the Holy Heart Hand mainly relied on Silverwing City, so the development of Silverwing City was imperative.

"Although it's a bit far, as long as you pay the fee, we will start to act immediately." Vico looked at the map and said through gritted teeth.

Shi Feng didn't say anything and took out 105,000 gold coins and 30,000 magic crystals, which made Vico very excited. After receiving the gold coins and magic crystals, he turned and left the reception room, obviously heading to Silverwing City without stopping.

"Next, it depends on how much the first wave of population explosion is." Shi Feng looked at the departing Vico, his gaze also becoming a lot more serious. "Hopefully, the number won't be too large."

Although he rushed as fast as he could, he still caught up, but in the end, it still depended on the degree of the population explosion. If it was too serious, Zero Wing might not be able to handle it, after all, there were too few Tier 3 combatants now.

Because the bottom line for maintaining the security of a guild town was Tier 3 combat power, and Tier 4 combat power could barely control some situations.

At six in the morning, the sun slowly rose from the sky, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the major cities of God's Domain.

A new day symbolizing God's Domain had begun.

PS: Thank you, valou, for the 50,000 reward!

(The first volume is finally finished. Tomorrow, the second volume, "Kingdom Turmoil", will begin, and the world of Tier 4 will be completely opened.)
