Next to the potion shop, I opened the purchase window. Very good, we won!
[Health Potion 1] Quantity: 2000
[Health Potion 2] Quantity: 2000
[Health Potion 3] Quantity: 2000
[Health Potion 4] Quantity: 2000
[Health Potion 5] Quantity: 2000
… …
I had 2000 high-rank potions each, and the potion shop in the territory refreshed every 10 minutes. Basically, I had enough. This was a huge profit!
The price of potions could be adjusted. Of course, only the lord had the right to do so.
I pondered for a moment and decided to set the price of Rank 1 potions at 2 RMB, Rank 2 potions at 5 RMB, Rank 3 potions at 15 RMB, Rank 4 potions at 30 RMB, and Rank 5 potions at 50 RMB. It was basically the same price as the potions in White Cloud City, but it would definitely be much cheaper than the temporary camps in the Government of Chaos.
Territory maintenance was a huge expense, and 80% of the income would be taken back by the system. Only 20% would be given to the city lord, and this 20% was enough to make me rich. Of course, I could only take 10% at most. The remaining 10% had to be given to the guild as a subsidy.
Also, I lowered the price of potions and equipment repair for the members of the Snow Moon Alliance and Dream of Returning to Snow Moon to 50%. This way, everyone's burden would be less burdensome.
I didn't change the price of the normal potions, and the super health potions were still 2000 gold each. Let them do as they please.
… …
At this time, Ling Xue, Ling Yue, and the other girls walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Scholar, this territory is located pretty well. It's pretty close to the Outlands, Despair Ice Fields, and S2 and S3 dungeons. It'll definitely be the first choice for players to set up camp in the future."
Ling Yue flipped through the map and praised with a smile, "I can't believe we've kept a group of NPC guards. This way, we won't have to worry about people causing trouble."
I asked, "Ling Yue, do you think we should announce the location of the King's City to all players in White Cloud City?"
"Why not?"
Ling Yue smiled slyly. "Don't forget that the upper echelons of White Cloud City have fallen apart, so we don't have to worry about being attacked at all. Snow Moon is absolutely safe, so go ahead and announce it. We'll use this opportunity to recruit some high-level players. This is our best chance!"
"En!"
I sucked in a deep breath and spent 5000 RMB to send a system announcement. After a long moment of deliberation, I finally sent it out. A system announcement reverberated throughout the skies of White Cloud City —
Ding ~!
System Announcement (Player Frivolous Scholar Shout): Friends, please take note, the Snow Moon Alliance's City of Kings has been relocated to the Dew Forest. The specific coordinates are (72, 621,11928), and the territory is fully equipped. The price of potions is one-third of the current NPC price, and the repair price is also far lower than the system price. The East Border Outland and the North Border Instance Dungeons S2 and S3 are the choices for players who want to level up. The city is equipped with powerful NPCs, and the Snow Moon Alliance will provide protection for you. Welcome to the city. At the same time, the Snow Moon Guild is recruiting experts of all classes to join.
…
After a system shout was sent out, he immediately received a pile of information —
Solitary Grave: "Holy shit!
Weren't all the territories flattened?
Why is the Snow Moon's City of Kings still there? Are you having an affair with the daughter of Eternal Moon's CEO? "
Hellfire: "Fuck!
Fuck!
Fuck! "
Shadow Follower: "The territory is safe now?
Wahahaha, that's great! "
Flying Fire: "Okay, I'll take the brothers of the Snow Moon Alliance there right away!"
… …
I replied to them one by one. Then, I noticed that people were coming from all over the map. It looked like the golden age of Snow Moon was about to return, so I arranged for a couple of trustworthy players to recruit people at the four entrances of the territory. Unfortunately, it was still a Rank 1 territory, and it was too small to fit more than a hundred thousand players. It looked like it wasn't practical to rely on a Rank 1 territory to make money.
In the Reign of Chaos, the alliance between the humans and the elves was instantly broken. Every human city had fallen, and the remaining armies were fighting for themselves. For a time, the power of darkness was unstoppable.
A quest window appeared on the King's City UI, and I was surprised to find a dozen or so small quests. Some were solo quests, and some were party quests. Almost all of them were about city construction, and the highest difficulty was over 7000. It was a good way to earn experience and Reputation.
These were all daily quests, and they would refresh once a day.
I couldn't help but be tempted. My previous experience proved that Holy Domain players wouldn't get experience if they killed mobs that were 50 levels higher than them. But if it was a quest mob, then I could still get experience even if the mob was Level 1000.
Right now, more than half of the NPCs in White Cloud City had gone missing, and it was even more difficult to get a quest. That being said, the daily guild quests were definitely worth doing. After all, they were all about grinding and earning equipment.
So, I sent a message in the party channel and summoned all the girls to me.
Ling Xue shouted, "What's Scholar doing again?
I'm only halfway there, and I still need to grind the Spring of Pain … "
I smiled. "Grinding low-level dungeons is so boring. Why don't you do the territory's daily quests with me?"
"Oh?
What daily quests? "
I shared the quest list with everyone, and the girls were immediately overjoyed. "Wow!
There's a dozen or so quests, enough for us to do for an entire day … "
"Mn, and completing these quests will help speed up the territory's construction."
I thought for a moment before saying, "Leave the highest-level quests to me and Ling Xue. You can split the rest among yourselves!"
"Okay!"
I chose the quest at the top, and the name was red. It had a difficulty of 7500, and it was a shared quest with a maximum of 3 people. Ling Xue and I could do it together.
I teamed up with Ling Xue alone, and after accepting the quest, I received a notification: Go chat with the territory's master blacksmith!
Master blacksmiths were actually the best blacksmiths in the King's City, so I walked over with Ling Xue. In the distance, I saw the blacksmith forging with bare arms.
He seemed to have received the notification as well. The moment Ling Xue and I arrived, he wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said in a thunderous voice, "Dammit, a lot of the weapons in the village have been destroyed recently, and we can't even gather enough iron to forge. However, a group of evil centaurs appeared to the west of the village. They have Centaur Spears made of refined iron, and they killed many of our warriors. If you can wipe out these centaurs and bring me 100 Centaur Spears to forge, that would be great."
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your party has accepted the quest [Centaur Spear]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 7500)
Description: Head to the Centaur Lake to the west of the village, kill 1000 centaurs, and collect 100 Centaur Spears to bring to Master Blacksmith Mag.
… …
"Looks like the quest is easy. Kill the centaurs and steal their weapons?" Ling Xue asked with a smile.
I nodded. "Yes, let's go!"
I summoned the Blazing Warhorse, pulled the little beauty onto it, and galloped out of the first-rank territory.
On the map, a curved freshwater lake appeared at the edge of Rain Dew Forest. This was undoubtedly the Centaur Lake, and the empty space next to the lake was the centaur camp. It was a sea of red, and it was obvious that there were a lot of monsters there, and their levels were definitely not low.
The Blazing Warhorse wasn't slow. Although it wasn't as fast as a giant dragon, it was still an Immortal Rank mount. In this era where top-tier mounts were rare, the Blazing Warhorse was undoubtedly pretty awesome. At the very least, it could be used as a means of transportation.
In less than half an hour, we crossed the lake shore and arrived at the Centaur Camp. In the middle of the dense forest, there was a spacious open ground. Centaurs were cruising on the open ground. They were humanoid monsters with furry lower bodies and war horses. Their upper bodies were humanoid with a mane on top of their heads. They looked ferocious and carried a shining spear in their hands. It was made of fine steel. It was exactly what we needed.
[Berserk Centaur] (Warsong Rank)
Level: 259
Attack: 240000 - 325000
Defense: 220000
HP: 3200000
Skills: [Lunge], [Plunder], [Centaur Rage]
Introduction: Guardian of the Centaur Camp
… …
Damn, so it was a Level 259 Warsong Rank monster. No wonder the difficulty of this quest was over 7500. Normal players couldn't tank a monster with such high Attack. If you wanted to clear this quest, you needed to be at least a S1 player with godly equipment and a powerful healer.
But we didn't need a healer. Even without a healer, Ling Xue and I could solo this place. At the very least, it was a piece of cake for me.
"Xiao Xue, do you dare to solo this place?" I asked with a smile.
Ling Xue blinked her beautiful big eyes. "I wouldn't dare."
"Oh, okay. I'll protect you …"
Ling Xue was speechless. Clang! She pulled out her Startling Rainbow sword and smiled. "Move aside. Let me see if I can solo this place. Maybe I can."
As she spoke, Ling Xue waved her snow-white fingers in the air, and the Wind Spirit Beast, Xixi, appeared.
In the next moment, Xixi let out a chirp. The little beauty feinted and split her sword into two. It was the pet's Duplicate skill!
One of Ling Xue charged forward and lured a centaur over. The centaur immediately went into a defensive stance and raised its shield high in the air, holding its ground!
The other Ling Xue took the opportunity to charge forward. Her Startling Rainbow created a ripple of ice and snow, and the centaur was frozen. The little beauty danced wildly and escaped after a couple of slashes. She used a false doppelganger to bait the centaur again. Six seconds later, she arrived again and Startling Rainbow whistled through the air. The centaur fell to the ground with a painful groan.
It was a perfect kill, and I only lost half of the doppelganger's HP.
"Hehe, it looks like soloing it won't be a problem."
Ling Xue smiled and made a provocative gesture at me, "Young man, don't look down on low-level players!"
I nodded to show that I understood the lesson. Then, I raised my sword and charged forward. With my defense, I could easily kill him. My powerful attack absorbed 10% of the damage dealt and turned it into my own health. The 10% lifesteal effect of the Bone Spirit Ring was extremely important to me. More importantly, this ring was given to me by Ice Tea. That girl was extremely stingy and never gave anything to anyone. This made the Bone Spirit Ring even more precious.
The silver moonlight rippled in the forest. Two diligent figures walked through every corner of the forest, determined not to let go of a single centaur warrior. I had two life-saving skills, [Holy Heal] and [Shadow Evasion]. Ling Xue had two life-saving skills, [Frozen Slash] and [Wrath of the Sword and Shield]. Basically, even if I accidentally lured too many monsters, I wouldn't be killed. At most, I would be in a bit of a mess.
"Cha!"
The tip of my sword slashed across the centaur's neck, leaving a shallow wound. The centaur howled and fell to the ground. The spear in its hand flew out of its hand. A quest item dropped!
I picked it up and asked in the party channel, "Xiao Xue, how many Centaur Spears did you get?"
"7. What about you?"
"16."
"Oh, it's still early. Take it slow. There's a lot of experience, hehe!"
"Yeah, take it slow!"
A ray of golden light later, I reached Level 200. I had regained the level I had lost in the King's City. Ling Xue had leveled up twice. As expected, with the damage of the Startling Rainbow Sword, leveling up was just too fast.
At this rate, Ling Xue should be able to level up 7 to 10 after completing this quest, and I should be able to level up at least 3. Very good. Let's get to Holy Domain Level 255 and fight to be the first!
We grinded until 10 pm. Finally, we had gathered 100 Centaur Spears and put them all in my bag. It was time to return to the territory and turn in the quest!
Territory quests could only be done by core members. Without a doubt, the girls of Xue Yue Studio and Brave Heart were added to the list. Moreover, the four peak experts of Snow Moon, the Shadow Follower, Bing Zhiyi, Melancholy and Magic Cube of Fate, were also added to the list. We were doing quests together to ensure the territory's construction speed.
When Ling Xue and I arrived at the territory, it had changed a lot. The bamboo fences surrounding the city walls were taller. This was proof that the defense of the city had increased. Moreover, there were many people coming and going. It didn't matter if they were Snow Moon players or not, they all got along well.
I found a blacksmith and handed him a bundle of Centaur Spears. The blacksmith shed tears of excitement. "This is great! This way, I can forge a batch of excellent weapons!
Thank you, this is your reward! "
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has completed the quest [Centaur Spear]. You have been rewarded with 10000 iron-grade materials of the King's City, Smelting Skill + 1. You have gained a lot of experience, 500,000 gold, and 70000 Reputation!
… …
Swhoosh!
I leveled up again and was now Level 204. I surpassed Brave Heart and returned to the first place on the Heavenly Ranking!
Ling Xue had also reached Level 112. This leveling speed was terrifying. In the near future, it was not impossible for her to surpass The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze and Seven-star Lamp.
I checked the quest list. As expected, everyone adds firewood. We had already completed the quest!
I couldn't help but sigh. "These guys are so efficient. They didn't even leave us a high-level quest. How ungrateful …"
Ling Xue smiled. "This is a good thing. It will speed up the construction of the city. Plus, everyone wants to level up as soon as possible!"
"Mn!"
But at this time, the Shadow Follower's low voice came from the guild channel. "I have good news for everyone."
Flying Fire asked, "What news?
Is your wife about to give birth? "
"I don't have a wife right now."
The Shadow Follower was very calm. "I triggered a Holy Domain quest a few seconds ago."
"What?!!"
Everyone in the guild was shocked.
