Chapter 1041 - Medium Shipyard
When Shi Feng entered the Town Hall, there were only a few other players in the building. They were all independent players, not Guild players.
The Lands in God's Domain's NPC cities were very expensive. Generally, only Guilds could afford them. It was practically impossible to find a lone player who could afford these Lands as well.
However, it was a different story for NPC towns. The Lands here were many times cheaper.
Take Ocean Viewing Town for example. Its normal Lands only cost 200 to 300 Gold, while the Lands around the town center cost 500 to 600 Gold. Even the most expensive Land, which had an excellent view of the ocean, cost around 900 Gold. Generally, expert players of considerable skill could afford these Lands after their Tier 2 promotion.
In the past, many players who could not afford houses in NPC cities would build their houses on Lands in towns with a good view or in prosperous towns.
As a port town, even without access to the Savage Wildland, Ocean Viewing Town's Lands were a valuable investment. After all, as players reached higher levels, players would unlock more in-game systems in God's Domain.
For example, the Maritime Merchant System.
In God's Domain, one could earn money from other players as well as NPCs. Helping NPC merchants transport their goods was one way to do so, earning a sizable income. If one managed themselves properly, obtaining their own fleet of ships and gaining Popularity among NPCs, they could make far more than expert players. This was precisely the reason that port towns had become so popular among independent players, particularly merchant players, in the past.
Due to such systems, even players who were weak in battle could make a living in God's Domain. Sometimes, if one were lucky and encountered some miracle, one could obtain weapons and equipment that even expert players would envy.
Currently, independent players capable of purchasing Ocean Viewing Town's lands were either merchants with some achievement or representatives from small-scale Workshops that planned to invest.
When the several cloaked players, who were choosing Lands, noticed Shi Feng enter the building, they all turned with cautious expressions. They looked at Shi Feng as if he had come to steal their prey.
Suddenly, an NPC administrator in a suit and tie approached Shi Feng. The NPC administratorthen asked respectfully, "Lord Protector, how many I serve you today?"
"I want to purchase a Shipyard," Shi Feng said.
"Alright. Please follow me to the second floor. The information regarding the available Shipyards will be brought to you right away." Upon hearing Shi Feng's request, the administrator led Shi Feng to the second floor's lounge, showing Shi Feng as much respect as the town's Mayor.
The several merchant players who had been wary of Shi Feng were stupefied.
"Who is that?"
"Why is Administrator Joseph showing so much respect?"
"Is he already a Baron in Ocean Viewing Town?"
"That can't be, right? Joseph wouldn't even treat a town's Baron like that."
To win over Senior Administrator Joseph, they had tried all sorts of methods to raise his Favorability of them. They had done so to persuade the Senior Administrator to show them more Lands.
