Chapter 1 Stone Forest Town Upgrades

Yuan Tiexin couldn't help but stare blankly after seeing the information.

An intermediate town!

Their Tianji Pavilion had occupied quite a few towns, but they were still far from an intermediate town.

"Uncle Yuan, what's wrong?" Zi Qiong, who was beside him, looked at Yuan Tiexin, who had been silent for a long time, with surprise.

Only then did Yuan Tiexin react and shifted his gaze back to Shi Feng.

Looking at Shi Feng at this time, Yuan Tiexin's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of confusion. He suddenly felt that he knew nothing about the Zero Wing Guild.

Did the Zero Wing Guild really have no background or backer as he imagined?

Yuan Tiexin didn't respond to Zi Qiong. Instead, he looked at Shi Feng with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Guild Leader Black Flame, for not only defeating the Blackwater Guild but also successfully upgrading Stone Forest Town to an intermediate town."

Although he was smiling, Yuan Tiexin was extremely depressed.

Faced with the Zero Wing Guild, which already possessed an intermediate town, he had to treat it with caution.

The area occupied by an intermediate town was much larger than that of a beginner town, and its functions were also more complete.

If Stone Forest Town as a beginner town was a gold mine, then Stone Forest Town as an intermediate town was simply a diamond mine.

Not to mention that Stone Forest Town was very close to the Stoneclaw Mountains, which would be convenient for players to visit, the arena alone would be enough for Zero Wing to make a lot of money, not to mention that many companies would be willing to open virtual shops there.

Previously, a beginner Stone Forest Town could be worth four or five beginner towns, which made many companies interested. Unfortunately, Zero Wing's asking price was too high, which made many companies flinch. But now that Stone Forest Town had become an intermediate town, even a fool could see its value. The previous conditions would definitely no longer be conditions, and there would definitely be a large number of companies willing to pay the price to settle in Stone Forest Town.

Not lacking gold coins, not lacking funds, not lacking players, and with enough prestige, the future of the Zero Wing Guild was already visible.

And the conditions he had offered before were probably not very useful to the current Zero Wing Guild.

"Thank you." Shi Feng responded politely, then said with a smile, "If you're still here to buy the Magic Tower design, then I'm really sorry, we at Zero Wing have no intention of selling it."

"Guild Leader Black Flame is joking. Our Tianji Pavilion also intends to give up on the design. However, we can help Candlelight Firm open up business routes in major cities in other kingdoms. How about one Magic Tower in exchange for five potential plots of land in cities with a million people?" Yuan Tiexin thought for a while and retreated to second best.

But Zi Qiong was shocked when she heard this.

How precious were the potential plots of land in big cities?

Now these plots of land had already been taken over by the major guilds and could not be bought at all. To exchange them for five potential plots of land in one go, the price was too high.

"This condition is indeed tempting, but I still have to refuse." Shi Feng shook his head.

Five potential plots of land in big cities would now cost at least thirty to forty thousand gold coins, and the price would be even higher in the future as time went on. Even if he didn't use them, he could rent them out to make a lot of money.

However, the design in his hand could only be used to build twice more. One of them had to be used in the Starting Town. Buying five potential plots of land in big cities with the remaining one would not bring much benefit to Candlelight Firm.

Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong were slightly stunned when they heard Shi Feng's straightforward refusal.

Five potential plots of land were equivalent to providing five million player customers. Even the president of a super guild would probably hesitate, but Shi Feng didn't even blink an eye...

Zi Qiong suspected that Shi Feng didn't understand the meaning of the five potential plots of land, otherwise, how could he be so straightforward.

"I wonder how much Guild Leader Black Flame wants?" Yuan Tiexin gritted his teeth and said.

Their Tianji Pavilion was determined to get the Magic Tower, and this was what the president had repeatedly instructed.

"I want the land in these towns, a total of twenty places. I think your Tianji Pavilion should be able to do it."

Shi Feng then took out a list, which was full of the land of some NPC small towns. The number of players in the city was generally less than 100,000, and some even had only 30,000 to 40,000 players. These small towns were distributed very widely, covering eleven kingdoms and two empires.

"This..." Yuan Tiexin originally wanted to scold Shi Feng for being a lion when he heard about the twenty pieces of land, but he was dumbfounded when he saw that they were all small cities.

The number of players in the twenty pieces of land added up was less than two million, and there was not much potential for the land here in the future. He didn't understand what Shi Feng was thinking at all.

But this was also a good thing for Tianji Pavilion.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, is this all you want?" Yuan Tiexin didn't think Shi Feng was so kind, so he asked.

"Of course, it's more than that. I also need 20,000 gold coins for construction fees." Shi Feng looked at Yuan Tiexin's suspicious eyes and had no choice but to expose another relatively 'reasonable' price.

To be honest, his asking price was not low, and even Shi Feng himself felt that it was too dark.

The twenty small city lands given out may not be expensive, but they were very, very useful. Even if he wanted to buy them, he couldn't buy them, because these lands must have been occupied by other small guilds or big guilds. Only Tianji Pavilion could buy them.

In his previous life, these twenty small cities were known as the Golden Cities.

The reason why they were called the Golden Cities was because the advanced maps near these twenty small cities produced Vajra Wood.

Vajra Wood was a rare wood in God's Domain, specializing in making high-end boats. Even if it was only used to make the most common speedboats, it could make ordinary speedboats have a level close to bronze-level speedboats, so it was very popular among major guilds and maritime adventure groups.

It was just that Vajra Wood was very rare, and many kingdoms and empires did not even have such wood, including Star-Moon Kingdom.

Now that he already had his own intermediate shipyard, he naturally had to make some plans early.

He had no chance before, but now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he let it go?

You must know that in his previous life, the land in these small cities was sold at sky-high prices, and no one could buy a piece of land for less than 50,000 gold coins.

The wood for manufacturing boats was not like ordinary props, which could be directly stored in the space backpack. These woods could not be stored in the space backpack. If you wanted to transport them, players could only carry them personally. Even if they were transported to the NPC town, it would be quite troublesome to transport the wood to the place where it was used.

Of course, you could use a teleportation magic array to transport it, but the price of transporting a piece of wood would definitely be much more expensive than teleporting a player. The most common method was to use a transport carriage to transport it, but it was impossible for a carriage to transport only one piece at a time, so you needed to hoard it first, and then transport it all at once.

However, NPC towns and cities did not allow items to be piled up on the streets at will. If you dared to pile them up, they would be confiscated directly.

Because of this, major guilds needed a warehouse to store wood.

To put it bluntly, 50,000 gold coins was to buy a warehouse for storage.
