Chapter 2326: 2326

Chapter 2326 – 1-star Lord

System: You have completed the Crusade Quest for the Ice Dragon, Heathwaite . Rewarding Lord’s Token, Level +1, Star-Moon Kingdom Reputation +300, Guild Popularity +10,000

System: Congratulations! You are the first player to become a Lord in God’s Domain . Rewarding Lord Popularity +100 . System: Congratulations! For acquiring 100 Lord Popularity Points, you have been promoted to a 1-star Lord .

The system notification repeated three times while Shi Feng rose to Level 102 .

The system promoted me to a 1-star Lord just for being the first player to become one? Shi Feng couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at the system notifications .

The concept of a Lord was still likely foreign to most players, not to mention Lord Popularity .

When players became a Lord in God’s Domain, they’d gain the ability to recruit NPCs to form their own Knight Division . However, the process was similar to searching for Personal Guards, so it had its challenges . Furthermore, a Knight Division had 5,000 slots . It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to fill these slots with high-quality NPCs .

The only method to ease the process was to increase one’s Lord Popularity .

The higher a Lord’s Popularity was in God’s Domain, the easier it would be to persuade and recruit NPCs with high Growth Potential . Unfortunately, increasing one’s Lord Popularity was incredibly difficult, only possible by completing special quests . Moreover, one would only gain a handful of Popularity Points with each quest .

Accumulating 100 Lord Popularity normally required a lot of time and effort .

Meanwhile, every 100-point increment was a turning point . The first 100 points would elevate one to a 1-star Lord, at which point players wouldn’t have to run around NPC cities in search of appropriate NPCs . They could simply start a draft though the Adventurer’s Association .

These drafted NPCs might not be uniformly powerful, but there would be quite a few with high Growth Potential . If one were lucky enough, they might even recruit a Secret-Silver Guard .

Of course, with more Lord Popularity, the standard of their drafted NPCs would increase .

The problem of increasing his Lord Popularity to 100 points had troubled Shi Feng . Without a solution, he’d have to spend several months finding capable NPCs to fill his 5,000 Knight slots . Fortunately, God’s Domain solved that problem for him .

“Administrator Lorrain, I wish to draft members for my Knight Division through the Association,” Shi Feng declared as he showed the Lord’s Token to the Elven administrator .

Very well . However, the fee will depend on the scale of the draft you wish to implement . Generally, a draft in a town costs 10 Gold per week, 100 Gold per week in a city, 300 Gold per week in a kingdom’s capital, and 1,000 Gold per week in an imperial capital . Where would you like to implement your draft?” Lorrain asked .

How expensive . It’s no wonder why the Adventurer’s Association is the fourth wealthiest power in God’s Domain . Shi Feng was speechless after hearing the prices .

Second- and third-rate Guilds had no hope of obtaining a Lord’s position in the past . The various superpowers and top-ranked first-rate Guilds had monopolized this benefit .

Hence, Shi Feng hadn’t actually known how much it would cost to implement a draft . He certainly hadn’t expected it to cost this much to form a Knight Division .

The results of a draft depended on one’s luck . NPCs would not simply respond to a draft because the Adventurer’s Association had issued it . According to Shi Feng’s calculations, he would need to implement a draft in several hundred cities to recruit 5,000 Knights with relatively high Growth Potential in a short time .

“I’d like to implement the draft in these countries’ cities,” Shi Feng decided . After giving the matter some thought, he felt it would be best to recruit from cities in flourishing kingdoms and empires . In the end, he paid 44,500 Gold to implement his draft in more than 400 cities . It was a large enough expenditure to put a first-rate Guild’s finances in the red . God’s Domain’s Guilds were pushing their experts to reach Level 100 right now, and as a result, it was only natural that their expenses would rise .

Fortunately, Zero Wing had the Candlelight Trading Firm and multiple Guild Towns and Cities to generate income . The Guild earned just as much profit as an ordinary superpower .

However, Zero Wing still needed to support its main headquarters in the real world and the Heaven’s Rumble Training Center . The Guild wasn’t particularly wealthy at the moment .

It seems I’ll have to find ways to increase the Guild’s profits . With how much Zero Wing has right now, financing 5,000 Knights is impossible . After paying for the drafting fee, Shi Feng mentally calculated how much he’d need to spend on his future Knight Division .

A 5,000-man Knight Division would definitely be an amazing asset, but it would be expensive to maintain . Unlike the NPC soldiers one could recruit to defend Guild Towns and Cities, Knights weren’t affiliated with a kingdom or empire . Rather, they were considered a Lord’s personal combat power . Hence, players would not receive subsidies from a kingdom or empire, relying on their own funds to pay their Knights’ salaries . Affording a Knight Division wasn’t easy, and to make matters worse, each Knight’s salary would depend on the NPC’s Growth Potential .

To hire and nurture a Bronze ranked, Tier 2 Knight, one would have to spend 50 Gold per week . Multiplied by 5,000, a Division of Bronze, Tier 2 Knights would cost 250,000 Gold per week . Moreover, this cost didn’t include the price of weapons and equipment for these Knights…

For a moment, Shi Feng couldn’t help but admire the first-rate Guilds that had ruled their own territories in the past .

Once he had taken care of the draft order, Shi Feng left the Adventurer’s Association and made his way to the Candlelight Trading Firm . He intended to start the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship’s production immediately .

After reaching Level 100, the various powers would prioritize their aerial development . Whoever controlled the sky would become an overlord in God’s Domain . Level 100-plus maps were very far from civilization, after all, and the ability to travel through the sky would give players a huge advantage when grinding for resources . Moreover, this advantage would become more prominent as time passed .

If he wanted to bolster Zero Wing’s development, he had to arm the Guild with Flying Ships .
