Chapter 203: Tianfeng City!!!
This was an item name Li Xiang had never heard of before.
Furthermore, the quest did not provide any hints.
Li Xiang's gaze fell upon the veteran NPC before him.
Since the quest offered no hints, the hints must lie with this NPC.
"Elder, I have absorbed the contents of this scroll, and it has helped me greatly.
However, I now need an item called the demon warrior heart. Do you know where I can find such an item?"
The veteran NPC listened to Li Xiang's question, furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, and then spoke, "I spent quite a long time with that Demon Warrior.
I heard about this item from him.
It seems that in a mysterious lost kingdom, there is such an item.
But that kingdom has perished, and one City that exists today is a City of our Dragon Flame Empire.
Lord Demon Warrior, if you can reach that City, perhaps you can find its whereabouts."
Saying this, the veteran NPC revealed the name of a City.
Tianfeng City?!
Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Li Xiang immediately opened his quest list.
Then, in the first quest listed, he saw the City name Tianfeng City.
At that time, after the Demon Clan stronghold in Wu Shuang City was destroyed by him, the Lord of the City He Denlong of Wu Shuang City had given him a new quest.
But this new quest required him to go to Tianfeng City and meet the City Lord of Tianfeng City to trigger it.
Now, the two quests could be completed together directly.
Li Xiang bid farewell to the veteran NPC, found the post station directly, and headed to Tianfeng City.
Because it was a City and far away, the post station charged 10 gold coins for a single trip!!!
10 gold coins was already a considerable amount.
One must know that the total player base in the game was incredibly vast.
Every player traveling to a City, or between Cities, required 10 gold coins. With such a massive number of players, the daily travel expenses alone would consume enormous amounts of gold coins.
This was also a way for the game to recover gold coins and control inflation.
...
Tianfeng City.
Li Xiang's figure appeared.
Looking at the incredibly grand and exceptionally majestic giant City before him, Li Xiang was shocked.
These City walls, placed in the era of cold weapons, would be an invincible existence; no army could possibly breach this terrifying defense.
Li Xiang looked up.
On the City walls, a large number of soldiers were stationed.
They wore excellent equipment, and from a distance, they stood extremely tall and straight, their gazes as sharp as eagles, scrutinizing everything outside the City walls, guarding against any possible invading enemies.
Li Xiang's appearance attracted a lot of attention.
At the City gate, a team of well-equipped City defense soldiers looked at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang quickly walked over and handed over the letter given to him by He Denlong.
"I have come from Wu Shuang City, sent by the City Lord of Wu Shuang City, to deliver a letter to the City Lord of your esteemed City."
The soldier Guard took the envelope, examined both sides carefully, and then looked at the royal guard badge on Li Xiang's chest.
"A Royal Guard has arrived, there is no need to look at this letter."
"Please come with me to register."
Li Xiang nodded and, led by the polite soldier, arrived at the registration point.
Unlike the soldiers in Wu Shuang City who would respectfully address Li Xiang as Royal Guard, the soldier Guards in the City only referred to Li Xiang by his title of Imperial Guard, without adding a respectful address.
The badge Li Xiang wore was only a second-tier Imperial Guard badge, which could only provide some convenience in cities below the City level.
In this City, this second-tier Imperial Guard badge lost most of its function.
Half a minute later, a system prompt appeared.
【Ding! You are the first player to register a household in Tianfeng City, you have obtained the title "First Citizen of Tianfeng City"!】
Obtained a new title!!!
First Citizen of Tianfeng City!!!
This title was different from the titles obtained previously; it had an effect.
Li Xiang took a look: Tianfeng City NPC basic favorability +5.
This meant that all citizens of Tianfeng City would have a natural favorability bonus when facing Li Xiang.
This effect was neither big nor small, and could lead to unexpected gains in some areas.
After completing the registration, Li Xiang was led into the City.
Inside the City, it was also very different from Wu Shuang City.
The first feeling Li Xiang had was that it was big.
Very big!!!
No wonder Wu Shuang City was expanding, clearing out the surrounding monster areas, and rebuilding the City walls.
A City was indeed much larger than a second-tier main City!!!
And Li Xiang looked around at the shops in the City, most of which were still in a semi-open state.
This was because no players had entered yet, so the game set them to semi-open to save computing resources.
As Li Xiang entered, a large number of shops began doing business, NPCs started coming and going, and the streets instantly became lively.
A City, just like that, 'came alive'!!!
While walking, Li Xiang saw some empty shops and curiously asked the soldier leading the way, "Why are these shops empty?"
The soldier glanced at those shops and casually said, "Those were specially set aside by the City Lord's Mansion for sale."
For sale?!
Li Xiang's eyes lit up!!!
The game wouldn't just leave these shops idle; these shops could be sold.
Then, the buyers must be players!!!
This meant that players could buy these shops!!!
"Then... what is the approximate price of these shops?"
The soldier seemed to know quite a bit about this and answered Li Xiang's questions, "The price isn't fixed. Places with poor locations are probably a few hundred thousand gold coins, while places with good locations are expensive, ranging from a few hundred thousand to even tens of millions of gold coins."
Hearing the values reported by the soldier, Li Xiang secretly clicked his tongue.
As expected of a City, the second-highest level main City in the game!!!
Coming to a City by seizing the opportunity, these ownerless shops were his chance!!!
If he could buy all these shops before a large number of players reached level 50.
Then when a large number of players came to the City, just renting them out would allow him to make a fortune.
Not to mention, if all of them were branded with the Gods name, with such a solid foundation as backing, the Gods Guild's position in China would be unshakable!!!
Must take them all down!!!
Li Xiang immediately sent the situation here to Qing Shui Ya.
As the Vice President and strategist of the Gods Guild, she would have a way to maximize the use of these shops!!!
...
A few minutes later, led by the soldier, Li Xiang arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
After being announced by the Guards of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord read the letter and allowed Li Xiang to enter.
Li Xiang entered the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was also very large, making Li Xiang almost dizzy from the winding paths, but he finally met the City Lord.
