Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 570 Black Magician
Although the five Magic Crystals were a painful price for the appraiser, the result was negligible compared to the loss.
“Could the instrument be broken?” The appraiser quickly began to check the instrument.
SSS-rank! This had never happened in the history of White River City, or even the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.
“This result is too exaggerated!” Shi Feng also couldn't believe it.
In his memory, after ten years of *God's Domain*, there had never been an SSS-rank result. At most, there had been an S-rank, and even that was rare.
Getting an A-rank evaluation meant a chance to become a Dark-Gold ranked guard after officially becoming a guard, but the odds were very, very small and could be ignored.
Only an S-rank evaluation greatly increased the possibility of becoming a Dark-Gold ranked guard.
Back then, the appearance of an S-rank evaluation shocked the entire *God's Domain*, and caused the peak figures of *God's Domain* to come and fight for it.
A Dark-Gold ranked guard meant a 100% chance of cultivating a Tier 5 class guard. If one was willing to spend a huge price, there was a slight chance of becoming a Tier 6 God-ranked guard.
In those days, Tier 5 class players in *God's Domain* were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, let alone Tier 6 God-ranked players.
A guild would celebrate for three days and three nights if a Tier 5 player emerged, let alone an extra Tier 5 NPC direct guard, which was much stronger than ordinary Tier 5 players.
What was the reason?
It was simple. First of all, there was the difference in attributes. Without any equipment, the basic attributes of an NPC were much stronger than those of a player. Secondly, there was equipment.
The equipment of *God's Domain* guards was different from that of players. The best equipment for guards could be purchased directly from NPC shops, including Epic ranked equipment and sets. If you were lucky, you could even buy Legendary item fragments. In other words, as long as you had money, NPC guards could buy the best equipment.
But what about the players?
Even Dark-Gold ranked equipment required a lot of hard work to obtain, let alone Epic ranked equipment or even Legendary item fragments suitable for the player. Which one wasn't obtained with endless effort and time?
Therefore, as long as a direct guard became a Tier 5 class, their strength could immediately be raised to the peak of Tier 5, while players still had to take it slow, improve step by step, and obtain weapons and equipment suitable for their own Tier 5 class.
And now, the SSS-rank evaluation, if the news was released, it would definitely cause a sensation in *God's Domain*.
“It seems I've really made a fortune this time." Shi Feng looked at Anna, who was looking bewildered, and couldn't help laughing.
The evaluation range he knew was only up to S-rank. As for SSS-rank, there was never such information. Maybe it appeared in his previous life, but if the player didn't say it, who would know?
Moreover, most of the powerful guards in the previous life were not recruited from ordinary NPCs, but directly recruited professional NPCs or high-level NPCs.
After all, those who could reach that level were extraordinary, and their potential would naturally not be bad. However, the higher the level of the NPC, the more difficult it was to recruit as a guard, and the more effort and time it would take.
Now that Shi Feng saw the SSS-rank evaluation, although he didn't know what level Anna's specific potential could reach.
However, a Fine-Gold ranked guard should be guaranteed.
After a while, the appraiser confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the instrument, and looked at Anna in shock. In the appraiser's eyes, in addition to shock, there was also a bit of awe.
"Miss Anna, you are the first person in the history of White River City to receive an SSS-rank evaluation. According to the regulations of the Adventurer's Association, you are an honorary elder of our Adventurer's Association. We will prepare an Epic ranked set suitable for you and a Tier 1 class badge, and we will also send a special tutor from the association to guide you. Please wait here for a moment." At this time, the appraiser was extremely respectful to Anna, even more humble than to Shi Feng.
For NPCs, Shi Feng was just a great noble, but Anna, who received an SSS-rank evaluation, was definitely a future powerhouse, a hegemon, and also had the identity of an honorary elder of the Adventurer's Association, which was much higher than Shi Feng's status.
"Lord Viscount, as the recommender, our Adventurer's Association will also send out a special reward. Please wait a moment." After the appraiser finished speaking, he immediately left the testing room to contact the high-level officials of the association.
Shi Feng and Anna went to the VIP reception room next to the testing room to wait.
Time passed bit by bit.
Players came in and out of the testing room one after another. It could be said that very few players came out with smiles, but there was still a constant stream of players who came to recommend.
"If only I could get a testing instrument." Shi Feng looked at the long waiting queue and couldn't help but feel envious.
Although the Candlelight Trading Firm was very profitable, it was nothing compared to making money from testing.
However, if you want to earn money from testing, you must first open an Adventurer's Association.
And an Adventurer's Association, only one can be established in a city. If players want to establish an Adventurer's Association, they must establish a city or town.
"After completing this mission, it's almost time to start preparing." Shi Feng couldn't help but have the idea of building a small town in his mind.
For a guild to really make money, enough for a large guild to use, it must have its own territory.
This territory is not the guild's residence, but the constructed city.
This is why so many guilds fought to the death in the previous life, fighting over and over again. The purpose was that the city established by the players could bring unimaginable benefits.
Opening a trading firm or something was completely weak compared to owning your own city.
It's just that it's very difficult to build a city. Even if it's built, whether it can be defended is a big problem.
Although he can't build a city yet, he can start preparing, so that when the guild is strong enough, he can quickly build a small town.
And the biggest problem in building a city is all kinds of resources, the manpower and material resources required, which can instantly bankrupt a first-class guild, even the current Zero Wing. The most important resources are the design drawings of various city buildings and magic matrixes, etc.
Without these things, even if there are wood and stone, you can only watch.
If you want to get these design drawings and various magic matrixes, you must clear the dark forces and large team dungeons on the *God's Domain* continent, so as to slowly collect materials and design drawings and so on.
Just as Shi Feng was thinking about how to get those design drawings, the heavy wooden door of the reception room opened, and three NPCs walked in from outside.
Among these three NPCs, one was the previous appraiser, and the other two were an old man in black with a black felt hat and a noblewoman in a gorgeous robe with a proud appearance.
The old man in black was a Tier 4 Black Magister of level 200, almost as strong as Whiteman, the administrator of White River City, and was the guardian NPC of White River City.
The noblewoman was a Tier 3 class Illusion Spiritualist, a Summoner of level 180.
