Chapter 957
Chapter 957 - Defense Turret





In God's Domain, many players used Mining and Herb Gathering to get rich .

Ordinary players had very few income options . Generally, players relied on quest rewards as Common monsters rarely dropped Coins . Only Elite rank and higher monsters had any chance of dropping money . Even so, the chances were only around two or three percent . Moreover, they dropped Copper Coins .

As for monsters dropping materials, the chances were even lower…

After first joining God's Domain, players could mostly afford their repair fees with their earnings from grinding Common monsters . However, as their levels increased and the quality of their equipment rose, the money they earned from Common monsters wouldn't be enough to maintain their items . Usually, they had to grind Elite monsters to cover their costs . If they were lucky and obtained a Bronze Weapon or piece of Equipment, not only could they afford a day's worth of repair fees, but they might also have something to save .

Unfortunately, that had only been the case after God's Domain had first launched .

Every time God's Domain evolved, the Main God System lowered weapon and equipment drop-rates . Now that the game had undergone its fourth evolution, even Elite monsters rarely dropped Bronze Weapons and Equipment . One usually had to obtain such items from Field Bosses or Dungeons .

It was precisely this reason that Lifestyle classes had become popular .





Meanwhile, the Lifestyle classes' development relied on various materials .

As players moved through maps, they usually paid attention to their surroundings . However, they were not only doing so to avoid player or monster ambushes, but to find ores and herbs .

A gathering player who was familiar with the environment could earn more money by selling the raw materials they gathered than what Guild elite members could earn from fighting monsters .

In the past, Shi Feng had frequently heard about gathering players obtaining excellent weapons and equipment solely by gathering ores and herbs . Many Guilds and trading firms had signed contracts with expert gathering players . As long as these players fulfilled their monthly quota, not only could they sell their materials at market price, but they would also gain bonus Credits .

Hence, for players in God's Domain, both Mining and Herb Gathering were usually very high-leveled .

If there truly were a Manatite vein beneath this town, they only needed to higher players with high-level Mining Skills . They could certainly earn far more Magic Crystals than Stone Forest Town . After all, Stone Forest Town only earned Magic Crystals from players repair and hotel fees . The town didn't earn nearly as much as players did in the Stoneclaw Mountains .

"My initial plan was to earn a large sum in the Dark Arena . However, Zero Wing's abilities have surpassed my expectations . While I have considered cooperating with Super Guilds before, they are simply too powerful; they might just take the town from Raven . Moreover, even if we form a partnership, with Super Guilds' appetite, Raven won't obtain much .

"Although there are a few more powers aside from Super Guilds that we could approach, these powers cannot provide as many Coins as Zero Wing .





"How about it? By cooperating with Raven, not only would Zero Wing not lack Magic Crystals, but the Candlelight Trading Firm would also have plenty of Manatite Ore . You will certainly earn more than 100,000 Gold . "

Bloodfang believed that the conditions he had proposed were quite generous . There was simply no reason for an upstart Guild like Zero Wing to reject his offer .

Currently, Zero Wing did not have many assets in God's Domain . However, it was extremely difficult to invest in the real estate in other kingdoms and empires . The local Guilds had long since claimed the available Lands . As for kingdom and empire's main cities, although some golden Lands were still available, without sufficient Reputation in those cities, purchasing those lands was impossible .

By the time someone from Zero Wing obtained the required Reputation, others would have claimed those Lands .

In other words, Zero Wing should have a lot of money lying around right now, yet it could not effectively utilize the Coins, spending money to make money .

However, this could not be helped . After all, Zero Wing was merely an upstart Guild . Its income couldn't even compare to a veteran second-rate Guild, much less a super-first rate or Super Guild .

If Zero Wing continued to hold on to its funds, it would eventually depreciate .





This was also why, despite earning boatloads of Gold, Super Guilds had very little liquid funds . This was because these Super Guilds had long since invested the money into something more valuable, particularly various city's Lands with high potential .

If Zero Wing invested its excess Coins into Raven, it could kill two birds with one stone .

"Guild Leader Bloodfang, as I've said before, 100,000 Gold Coins are not 100,000 Copper Coins . Even Super Guilds can't hand over such a large amount, not to mention Zero Wing," Shi Feng said, shaking his head . "And again, you're only offering 20% . It will take ages to earn back our initial investment . God's Domain changes each day . Zero Wing cannot make such a huge gamble . Why don't we change our method of cooperation?"

Bloodfang shook his head, responding, "If you wish to invest manpower, forget it . Current players cannot defend this town . With the number and level of monsters attacking this town, we can only rely on NPCs to defend it; in fact, we need a small army . We also need to construct extremely powerful magical arrays and Defense Turrets before the 15-day protection period is over, all of which requires a large sum of Coins . "

If not for his urgent need for money, he wouldn't have considered cooperating with Zero Wing at all . He very much preferred to have the town's profits to himself .

There was not a single power in God's Domain that would complain about having too much money, not to mention an essential item like the Magic Crystal .

As expected, these monsters must be unusual . Hearing Bloodfang's words, Shi Feng could faintly discern the true reason the town had been destroyed, and he could not help the corners of his lips curing up .

In the past, towns with rare mineral and herb fields nearby were often harassed by the local monsters .

Needless to say, a town with Manatite would be assaulted once every few days .

During God's Domain's early stages, the various large Guilds had headaches over these towns . After all, most of the money the earned had to be spent on the town's defense, with some towns needing additional investment .

As Bloodfang had said, constructing one Tier 3 defensive magic array to defend a town would cost 32,000 Gold . Although the magic array would block any monsters below Tier 4, Level 200, it required a lot of Mana to operate .

As for the Defense Turret, each one cost 7,000 Gold to construct .

Generally, monsters would come from all directions when raiding a town . Even if they placed only one Defense Turret at each of the four cardinal points, they needed at least four Defense Turrets . Moreover, the Turrets' artillery shells were very expensive . At market price, each shell cost 5 Gold, with higher-quality ones costing dozens .

Furthermore, a single Defense Turret at each corner wasn't nearly enough . They would need at least two .

With this, the total cost was around 88,000 Gold .

It was no wonder why Bloodfang wanted a 100,000 Gold investment .

However, players' wisdom was infinite . In the past, after the various large Guilds had experimented countless times, they had finally found a method to not only save on the high construction cost, but also resist against the swarms of invading monsters .
