Chapter 486 - Generous Benefits
Inside the Adventurers Association, Shi Feng was currently applying to establish a Forge inside Zero Wings Guild Residence.
Sir, this is the model list for Smithies. In addition, there is also a list of Blacksmiths; you may choose any of the names listed there, the NPC at the counter smiled as she passed two lists to Shi Feng.
In Gods Domain, buildings were not limited to a single model; there was a large variety of models available for players to choose from. Players could even design their own buildings, though designing one from scratch required a lot of time. If not for highlighting the uniqueness of ones own Guild, most players would choose one of the hundreds of models that were already available.
Promotion of buildings only required a Promotion Order; there was no need to spend any money. However, constructing a new building or reconstruction required a large sum. Depending on the size of the building, the materials required, and the buildings function, the price of construction would vary.
A Guilds Smithy was extremely important. Hence, Shi Feng needed to decide carefully.
Smithies were differentiated by three grades: Ordinary, Refined, and Luxury. Though the price of each Smithy was higher than the last, each grade was also more efficient.
Ordinary Smithies cost between 100 Gold and 200 Gold. Aside from repairing weapons and equipment, Guild members could also sell their unwanted items to the NPCs at the Smithy.
Refined Smithies cost between 300 Gold to 500 Gold. Aside from having all the functions of an Ordinary Smithy, Refined Smithies had a more refined and luxurious appearance. Refined Smithies also had a Weapon Maintenance function. If a player left their weapon in the Smithys care, its Durability consumption rate would drastically reduce for a period. At the same time, one could also hire Intermediate Blacksmiths if they had a Refined Smithy.
One should not underestimate the function of Blacksmiths. These Blacksmith NPCs all possess different capabilities. For example, some Blacksmiths might take less time than others to repair weapons and equipment; other Blacksmiths might produce stronger maintenance effects. Hence, hiring a powerful Blacksmith was of utmost importance.
Lastly, Luxury Smithies cost between 800 Gold and 1,000 Gold. Aside from having all the functions of a Refined Smithy, Luxury Smithies had a Rest Area that allowed Guild members to accumulate the Double EXP buff. However, 48 hours of rest was required to accumulate 20% of the buff. In addition, Luxury Smithies contained Forging Rooms. Moreover, these were Advanced Forging Rooms, which were far more effective than those at the Starstreak Trading Firm. One could also hire Advanced Blacksmiths.
For the Guilds future development, well get the most benefits from the best option. Lets choose this 1,000 Gold model, then. After looking through the model list, Shi Feng chose one of the largest Luxury Smithies available that allowed him to invite up to 10 Blacksmiths. After deciding on the model, he began to choose his Blacksmiths.
Shi Feng had received 700 Gold from the system reward alone. In addition, he also received over 300 Gold for each Dragonscale Set Equipment that sold at the Blackwing Auction House. At this point, he had already sold more than 20 sets. Currently, Shi Feng had more than 8,000 Gold on his person, making him wealthier than any single Guild in Star-Moon Kingdom. Moreover, Gold would continue to fill his bags as more sets of Dragonscale Set Equipment sold. So, he did not mind constructing the best Smithy available.
Following which, Shi Feng chose to hire ten Advanced Blacksmiths. These ten NPCs were the most skilled Blacksmiths one could currently find. Their monthly wages ranged between 3 and 5 Gold.
After Shi Feng finished dealing with the Smithy, he searched for a secluded location to adjust his appearance back to Ye Feng. He then hailed a horse carriage and returned to Zero Wings Guild Residence.
When Shi Feng arrived at the Residence, he discovered a sea of players crowding the entrance, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere.
There were currently two Berserkers in Dragonscale Set Equipment standing guard and maintaining order at the Residences entrance. The Fine-Gold rank glow from the sets thoroughly awed the players who had come to sign up for the Guild.
Is that a Fine-Gold Set Equipment?
Ive seen it on the forums before. I think its the Dragonscale Set Equipment. Currently, a single set costs more than 300 Gold. Zero Wing is just too rich; they actually bought two sets!
Not just two. I hear that Zero Wings Warehouse also has one set available for trade.
As the crowd discussed Zero Wings wealth with astonishment, the newly-constructed Smithy also attracted their attention.
The Smithys construction was not as tedious as the Guild Halls. The Smithy required much less time as it had fewer functions. As long as the Guild paid the construction fees, the Smithy could be completed in less than ten minutes.
Zero Wings Smithy was three stories tall. The Smithys Luxury-grade appearance dazzled the onlookers, and many among the crowd even believed that they had arrived at the capital citys Advanced Smithy. The Smithy was large enough to accommodate several hundred players, and it was even larger than an Ordinary Guild Hall.
This is my first time seeing such an extravagant Smithy!
Zero Wing isnt giving Overwhelming Smile any chance of survival! Zero Wings Smithy is almost the same size as Overwhelming Smiles Guild Hall! Its so much fancier than their Guild Hall, too!
From what I heard from Zero Wings Guild members, this Smithy even has a Weapon Maintenance function that reduces the Durability consumption rate of a weapon for a certain amount of time. With this, who knows how much money we can save when grinding monsters and raiding Dungeons?
For this Guild Smithy alone, Ill do anything it takes to join Zero Wing.
The independent players who had come to participate in Zero Wings test watched the Guilds transformation with reverence, their desire to join Zero Wing intensifying.
Morale among Zero Wings members soared when they saw the growing flood of players coming to join their Guild. Now, whenever they strode down the streets with their six-winged Emblem revealed, they would receive countless envious stares.
Standing a short distance away from the Residences entrance, Thoughtful Rain quickly noticed Shi Fengs arrival. Waving her hand, she shouted, Ye Feng, were over here.
Shi Feng promptly walked over.
Standing beside Thoughtful Rain was the expert who Shi Feng was extremely familiar with, Everlasting War.
However, though Shi Feng knew about Everlasting War in the past, the reverse was not true. The five companions by his side were also outstanding experts. In the past, Shi Feng had lived in an entirely different world from them. He had failed to reach even the upper ranks of Gods Domain, much less the pyramids peak.
Ye Feng, let me introduce you. This man is Everlasting War; he wishes to discuss business with you, Thoughtful Rain slowly introduced Everlasting Wars party to Shi Feng.
At this moment, Everlasting War was shocked after evaluating Shi Feng.
The pressure he felt from Shi Feng was intense!
He had not expected Zero Wing to possess another unfathomable expert besides Black Flame.
Hello, I am Ye Feng, Shi Feng said, smiling faintly at Everlasting War. This place isnt suitable for a discussion. Why dont we head inside to chat?
Saying so, Shi Feng led the group into the Rest Area in the Guild Residences Smithy.
The Rest Area was very elegant. Even having beverages available for Guild members, this Rest Area was no less impressive than the citys restaurants.
Wah! Is this really a Smithy? Trailing after Thoughtful Rain, Blue Bamboos eyes shone brightly as she entered Zero Wings Residence. It was as if she had just stepped into an entirely different realm. Secretly, she said, Rain, look! Thats the Weapon Maintenance Room! There are such high-quality weapons inside! Even the Blacksmiths are the rarely-seen Advanced Blacksmiths! Rain, make sure you say something to Ye Feng later! With such awesome Guild benefits, it would be a huge shame if we didnt join!
