Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 173 Governor Wiseman (Second Update)
Baihe City, the fifth most populous city in the Star-Moon Kingdom, was much smaller than Blackwing City, but it would still take several days to walk through it all.
The Teleportation Hall was located in the southwest corner of Baihe City, very close to the city gate, while the City Hall was located in the heart of Baihe City, on Baihe Plaza in the trade district.
As a city, Baihe City had stricter management systems than small towns, and it was also more prosperous. As a central city in charge of hundreds of small towns, there were many merchants here. Along the streets, you could see shops selling various items, bars, restaurants, fruit stores, cloth shops, leather shops, armor shops, magic shops, alchemy workshops, blacksmith shops, and so on.
In the city, players were not allowed to set up stalls privately. If they wanted to sell things, they had to buy a shop. However, the prices of shops in the city were extremely high, and ordinary players simply couldn't afford them. Moreover, you couldn't buy a shop just because you wanted to; you needed to reach a certain reputation level. According to the level of reputation, you could buy a shop in the corresponding location in Baihe City.
But players weren't without opportunities to sell things.
The first method was to go to the auction house. The auction house in Baihe City was very prosperous, connected to the eight nearest cities with smaller populations. As long as you consigned an item there, players in all eight cities could see it. However, the handling fees were also very high. The consignment fee alone was determined by the value of the item and the consignment time. In addition, after the sale, 8% of the auction fee was deducted.
If you sold something at the auction house, you had to pay about 15% in commissions, which could be said to be very uneconomical, so the items in the city's auction house were very expensive, and it was not cost-effective to put some small things up for sale at all.
The second method was that Baihe City held a large market in the square every three days. Players only needed to pay a small amount of money to set up a stall and sell things, which was very suitable for free players. The only pity was that it was held only once every three days, and it only started in the evening, lasting only ten hours.
If you weren't interested in leveling up, fighting monsters, and adventuring, and wanted to develop in God's Domain, it was very important to buy your own shop in Baihe City, because only shops could operate 48 hours a day without interruption. Moreover, with the development of God's Domain, owning a shop in Baihe City could earn you as much money as opening a shop in the real world, and the transaction volume in God's Domain was even larger, making it easier to make money.
In the previous life, many players had given up on leveling up and fighting monsters, and spent all their efforts to buy a shop, although the location was very remote, but the money they earned was enough for him to live a worry-free life in the real world with plenty to spare.
Shi Feng took a carriage to the City Hall.
Compared to the City Hall of a small town, the City Hall of Baihe City was truly majestic and spectacular, with as many as ten floors. The floor area alone was the size of a football field. There were more than twenty guards at the gate. These guards were all level 150 elites, and the captain of the guards was a level 160 Tier 2 Knight. Their strength was so strong that they could easily destroy a small town.
Moreover, large cities like Baihe City were guarded by two or three Tier 4 class bigshots, and powerful monsters and dark forces dared not approach at all.
As soon as Shi Feng walked into the City Hall, a slender beauty walked up to him.
"Respected sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the beautiful clerk asked, blinking her big eyes.
"I want to see Lord Wiseman, the magistrate. I have a letter of introduction from Black Beard here." Shi Feng said, revealing his Demon Hunter title.
Ordinary people were not qualified to see Wiseman, the magistrate of Baihe City. They had to have a certain status. After all, the magistrate was equivalent to the mayor, in charge of all the military and political power of Baihe City. The minimum requirement to meet was to become a noble of Baihe City, but Shi Feng's reputation in Baihe City was still far from being a noble, so he could only reveal his Demon Hunter status.
"So it's Lord Demon Hunter. Lord Wiseman is currently dealing with official business and needs to wait for a while. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait in the lounge for a moment, and I'll immediately notify Lord Wiseman." After seeing Shi Feng's title, the beautiful clerk immediately became respectful. Nobles were the existence they, the common people, could not afford to provoke, even if she worked for the kingdom.
"Then go and notify him." Shi Feng nodded and then walked to the lounge.
Shi Feng sat in the empty lounge, bored, and opened the system communication.
Didi di...
Previously, in order not to be disturbed, he deliberately turned off the system communication function, so that no one could contact him, but as soon as he turned it on, he found more than hundreds of communication requests. Shi Feng was familiar with many of these people. They were all high-level figures from various large guilds in Baihe City, and some were even vice presidents or elders.
Of course, Ci Xin and Bai Qingxue were also indispensable. After all, the advantage of entering Baihe City now was too great. Just a casual investigation of the resource situation in the leveling area, where to level up the fastest, where the most mineral resources are, etc., as well as information on city missions and city rules, etc. Before entering Baihe City, everyone knew nothing about these many secrets.
If they could know it one step earlier, it would definitely be a huge wealth for a guild. They could take the lead in occupying the best leveling spot, take the lead in receiving high-level missions, take the lead in purchasing limited items every day or every week, and take the lead in collecting mineral and herbal resources. Because this information could allow the guild to gradually widen the distance from others, it was definitely the information that these guilds wanted to know most.
Especially now, these guilds were about to reach level 10 and enter Baihe City. If they could master this information, they could immediately adapt to the new environment and steadily upgrade and collect resources without wasting time on collecting information, which could save a lot of time and widen the gap with guilds in other cities.
With so many benefits, these guilds would naturally not let go of Shi Feng and would definitely try to contact Shi Feng, but they were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect Shi Feng to directly turn off the communication, making it impossible to contact him.
The only way was to send messages to Shi Feng, which resulted in thousands of messages in Shi Feng's mailbox. It would take at least four or five hours to read them all.
However, Shi Feng was also idle, so he looked at which guilds were worth contacting. After all, he was still a free player. If he really didn't sell any information, the result would be that everyone would be his enemy. With his current strength and power, the end of doing so would be very miserable, so he would select some. Ci Xin and Bai Qingxue were needless to say, they were friends after all, and this information would definitely be sold to them relatively cheaply, but other guilds were not necessarily.
Moreover, Shi Feng also had to carefully consider the information he sold. After all, he knew too much. Baihe City was like his own home. It was impossible for him to sell all the information, so he had to think about which information could be sold, so that these guilds would be very interested and willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, but would not let these guilds get too much benefit and become an obstacle to him in the future.
Grasping this measure made Shi Feng a little headache.
