Chapter 755: 755
Chapter 755 - City Promoted
Horse carriages rattled up and down White River City’s streets .
As Shi Feng rode comfortably in one such carriage, he could feel the tremendous changes that had swept through the city .
More horse carriages moved along the streets than before . Moreover, there were more varieties of carriages now .
God’s Domain evolved over time . Similarly, NPC cities also changed as time passed . Nothing would stay the same forever .
Ordinary players might not think much of the number or variety of horse carriages, but to Shi Feng, who had played God’s Domain for over a decade, these changes symbolized the city’s prosperity .
How could one determine how prosperous a city was?
The most basic criterion was the city’s horse carriages . It was similar to the cars in a city in reality .
In small cities, not only were there fewer cars, but high-class cars were also very rare . In big cities, however, traffic jams were common . One would also see high-class luxury cars all over the city .
God’s Domain’s cities were similar in this aspect .
When an NPC city’s player population increased, to satisfy the players’ needs, the Main God System automatically increased the number of horse carriages within the city, allowing more convenient travel .
Meanwhile, as players consumed more in a city, the system would also release advanced horse carriages . These advanced horse carriages charged more but were much faster . This would allow players to save time when traveling . After all, an NPC city was very large . It was very normal to spend several hours walking from one place to another .
Currently, advanced horse carriages had only appeared in five cities in Star-Moon Kingdom . The city with the most carriages was none other than White-River City . One could say that White River City had become Star-Moon Kingdom’s most prosperous city .
Unlocking the advanced horse carriage feature was only one of a thriving city’s basic settings . As time passed, various new facilities would open, such as flying tools and the flying transportation feature, which could allow players to reach destinations where teleportation arrays could not . As a result, these features would subtly improve a player’s leveling speed .
This was also one of the main reasons that empire players were much higher leveled than kingdom players .
Now that White River City has unlocked the advanced horse carriages, with the number of carriages present, the city should not be that far from unlocking the luxury horse carriages . When the city unlocks the luxury horse carriages, players will be able to take the Flying Ship to the Eclipse Gate to level up . It seems I’ll need to prepare for that . Shi Feng could not help but recall the Eclipse Gate, which had been the most famous leveling area that White River City had to offer in his previous life .
In the past, by the time White River City had activated the Flying Ship feature, the average player in God’s Domain had closed in on Level 50 . Many had even been promoted to their Tier 2 classes .
From that moment onwards, players’ Levels in White River City had exploded .
This was because White River City’s Flying Ships could access the Eclipse Gate . Of course, White River City wasn’t the only city whose Flying Ships passed through the Eclipse Gate . Every city in Star-Moon Kingdom’s eastern region had Flying Ships that could reach the Eclipse Gate .
Four countries would gather at the Eclipse Gate: the Star-Moon Kingdom, the Rhine Kingdom, the Ice Field Kingdom, and the East Spring Empire . It was considered a neutral zone, and the various countries had garrisoned their armies there to prevent the creatures within the Eclipse Gate from invading God’s Domain . Hence, there were plenty of high-level and Army Quests there . A player’s leveling speed at the Eclipse Gate would be roughly double than in other leveling maps of the same Level . Moreover, the Eclipse Gate was a colossal Level 40 to Level 70 map . One could also find plenty of rare herbs and ores in the area, which were all necessary resources to produce high-level potions and equipment .
More importantly, the Eclipse Gate was a source for Energy Essence, a resource required to tame Mounts .
Taming a Guild Mount required resources . The higher the quality and quantity of resources one had, the quicker one could tame a Mount . At the same time, one could use these resources to hasten a Guild Mount’s growth .
Energy Essence was one of the advanced materials required to tame a Mount .
Precisely because of this, players coveted the Eclipse Gate .
After reaching Level 40, everybody dreamed of having a good Mount . However, they were not that easy to obtain . One had to nurture their Guild Mounts slowly, promoting it as quickly as possible before it could become a part of one’s combat power .
However, although one could level up quickly and obtain plenty of resources at the Eclipse Gate, there was a downside .
The Eclipse Gate’s environment was relatively severe . If one did not possess a certain amount of Fire and Ice Resistance, even expert players would lose their lives . Hence, after the Eclipse Gate opened, whether it was in Star-Moon Kingdom or the three surrounding countries, the demand for equipment with Ice Resistance and Fire Resistance Attributes grew .
Aside from Ice and Fire Resistance equipment, tools that increased one’s Ice and Fire Resistance were also extraordinarily popular .
Although there was still quite a long time before the Flying Ship feature would unlock, Shi Feng felt that he could already begin the necessary preparations .
Although Ice Resistance and Fire Resistance equipment sold for a relatively high price right now, once everyone reached the Eclipse Gate, such equipment would double in price . Tools would also sell for far more .
Whether it was for improving the leveling speed of Zero Wing’s Guild members or making money by reselling items, now was the perfect time to stockpile these items .
I recall Campbell Volcano drops plenty of Fire Resistance equipment and tools . It might not be a bad idea to bring Aqua and the others there to grind . Shi Feng could recall quite a few maps in Star-Moon Kingdom that were a great source for Fire and Ice Resistance equipment . Among them, Campbell Volcano had the highest drop-rates for Fire Resistance equipment .
Campbell Volcano was a Level 40 to Level 50 map . However, due to its extreme environment, very few players were willing to venture there . However, after the Eclipse Gate had appeared, Campbell Volcano became one of the most popular locations in Star-Moon Kingdom .
No one had visited that map yet . This was a good chance for him to lead the main force members there to develop the map since none of the Bosses had died yet . Bosses killed for the first time would have double their usual drop-rates . Moreover, with the strength of Zero Wing’s main force, they shouldn’t have any issues dealing with a Level 50 Boss . As for the Magic Crystals in the Stoneclaw Mountains, they could rely on the Guild’s elite members to continue that harvest .
Before Shi Feng realized it, the advanced horse carriage he rode in had already arrived at the Library .
The Library’s entrance was the same as usual, with a group of players bunching around the doors, hoping to gain the favor of an NPC noble and gain entry into the Library .
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shi Feng strode into the Library unhampered . When the NPC guards stationed at the entrance saw Shi Feng, they treated him with respect, shocking many of the loitering players .
After entering the Library, as always, Shi Feng headed towards the Star-Moon Hall on the building’s top floor .
When the two Level 300 Tier 3 Red Paladins, who guarded Star-Moon Hall’s doors, saw Shi Feng approach, they stopped him .
Since when did Tier 3 NPCs guard this place? Shi Feng was surprised .
Tier 4 NPCs were already overlords in White River City . Some small cities only had Tier 3 NPCs to safeguard them . Yet, now, two such NPCs guarded the Star-Moon Hall . This was surprising . Normally, only the Palace in Star-Moon City warranted such treatment .
“Without permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter!” the Level 200 Red Paladins said as they blocked Shi Feng’s path with their spears .
Suddenly, however, a clear, crisp voice floated out from the hall .
“Let him in . ”
When the two Level 200 Red Paladins heard this, they immediately retrieved their spears and opened the doors, allowing Shi Feng entry .
