Chapter 1823: Opening a Commercial Road
"Do you want to open a business route?" Senior Deacon Elke looked at the black iron token in Shi Feng's hand in surprise, and couldn't help reminding, "Master Guardian, although you have a caravan guard token, you are qualified to open a town's token. Commercial routes, but I would like to remind you that opening a commercial route is not trivial, and the cost of it is not trivial. Moreover, you are coming to Xingyue King City to open a commercial route. Not only is the price extremely high, but the risks involved are also extremely high. The token is void."
"I understand, but I have the confidence to open a business route to Silver Wing Town." Shi Feng nodded.
Regarding the opening of the business route, he was incomprehensible, and he had done it many times in his previous life.
In God’s Domain, if any guild town wants to quickly introduce NPC merchants and make the guild town develop rapidly, it needs to open a trade route, and there is a huge benefit after opening a trade route, that is, the rare items delivered by NPC merchants are preferentially purchased rights and royalties.
It seems that this is nothing, but it is true that a neutral town is the main source of wealth before it is promoted to a city, and it is not one of them.
As the town's popularity increases, more NPC merchants will go to the town. Even if it's not an NPC merchant, even if it's just an ordinary NPC, if you enter the town after using this trade route, you will still need to pay a usage fee, because this The business road is a safe road, and there are high-level NPC escorts. Even if the player reaches level 100, they will not dare to rob the road.
Although the price of the usage fee is not high, each NPC only charges 80 copper, and the number of NPCs is far less than the number of players, but if there are 100,000 NPCs coming and going on this trade route a day, you can earn 800 gold a day, and this It's still just a trade route. A city's income from and to the town, the more trade routes it introduces, the more the town earns.
However, such things as trade routes are only available from towns on neutral maps that are promoted to intermediate towns, and do not exist in kingdoms and empires.
In addition, the number of NPCs going to and from the town has a lot to do with the NPC cities connected to the trade route. The more prosperous the NPCs are, the more NPCs come to and from the town. For example, the trade route to the King City can generally be guaranteed every day. The traffic of 100,000 to 200,000 NPCs generally ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 in ordinary NPC cities, but the more prosperous the NPC cities that are opened, the more difficult it is to open.
In addition to making money, opening a trade route is also one of the ways to obtain rare materials.
Not all items shipped by NPC merchants will be sold to players. A considerable part of them are sold to NPCs. These items cannot be purchased by ordinary players. With the right of first refusal, not only can they buy items sold to players first. , even items sold to NPCs.
Among the items sold to NPCs,
There are many materials that are difficult to buy on the market, and there are even magic crystals that can be purchased, but the asking price is higher than the market price among players, each costing forty silver coins, but this is very valuable to the guild, after all It is easy to exchange magic crystals for gold coins, but it is difficult to exchange gold coins for magic crystals, especially when a large number of magic crystals are exchanged.
Unlike players, NPCs are much easier to obtain magic crystals than players, because most of the mines in the kingdom and empire that can produce magic crystals are occupied by NPCs, so NPC merchants who sell magic crystals sometimes sell 5,000. It is normal to reach 10,000 magic crystals, but it is extremely difficult to acquire 5,000 to 10,000 magic crystals from players.
In addition, these NPC merchants will occasionally sell some rare high-level design drawings. The price is much higher than that of players, but they are expensive and rare, and players can't easily get them. Sometimes they even sell legendary items. Fragment Clues and Legendary Item Fragments.
Although such a situation is rare in the entire God's Domain, according to the statistics, the more NPC merchants who travel to and from the town, the higher the possibility of obtaining Legendary Item Fragments and Legendary Item Fragments clues.
Fragments of legendary items, even clues, are invaluable.
Since there is a possibility of obtaining it, Shi Feng certainly can't let it go. After all, there are not many ways he knows about obtaining fragments of legendary items, because even if most players get fragments of legendary items, they will not casually say how they came from, even He doesn't want to reveal that he has Legendary Item Fragments. All he can know is the well-known Legendary Item Fragments, and the methods of obtaining them are very strict, and most of them cannot be obtained now.
"Since the Guardian understands, it would be even better. If the Guardian wants to open up the business road to Silver Wing Town, according to this journey, the basic cost is 10,000 gold, and the number of magic crystals is 5,000, because the guardian What the adults have is an ordinary caravan guard order, you are only allowed to recruit and form a group of 100 at most, and the team also needs to bring at least one senior magician to engrave a special magic circle on the road to ensure that the road can drive away monsters." Senior Deacon Ai Erke said, "I don't know if Lord Guardian needs me to introduce mercenaries to go with you?"
"Of course." Shi Feng nodded.
The Caravan Guard Token itself is like a special mission to open a business route. This mission can be completed by all players, or by hiring mercenaries from the Adventurers Association.
Compared with players, mercenaries are definitely more powerful at this stage, so players who have obtained tokens are willing to hire mercenaries to do tasks together, but the price is very high, and some guilds feel that they are strong in order to save money. Well, let the players do it.
Although the main group of Zero Wing is very strong, the level of the trade route to the Orc Empire is not low. The monsters that appear along the way are generally more than 15 levels higher than the map level. The monster level in many parts of the Orc Empire is above level 60. The level of the interfering monsters is at least level 75, which is too high for the current Zero Wing Guild main force and is not suitable for this task.
"Okay, this is the list of mercenaries who are willing to follow Lord Guardian." Elk immediately took out a list and gave it to Shi Feng.
The task of opening a business route is very special and dangerous. It is not about hiring any kind of mercenary, but also according to the player's own status in the Adventurer's Association. The higher the status, the more willing to participate in the action. The more mercenaries, the better.
"It's amazing, the salary equivalent to the vice president is really helpful for opening the business route." Shi Feng looked at the employment list and was slightly stunned.
In his last life, he opened a trade route, and the strongest he could hire was only a three-star second-tier NPC. It is very difficult to open a trade route, but on the hiring list, let alone a three-star second-tier NPC, even a two-star third-tier NPC. Everyone came to participate, and I have to say that the advanced title has brought great help to the players.
Shi Feng spent more than 15,000 gold in one breath, and spent seventy-seven-eighty-eight of the money on hand to hire ninety-seven mercenaries. These mercenaries are at least level 80, and the weakest are 80-level three-star. The second-order NPC, the strongest is the 83-level two-star third-order NPC, and the entire team has as many as fifteen third-order NPCs, which can be said to be extremely powerful.
After Shi Feng completed all the formalities and learned to describe the special high-level magic circle, Shi Feng summoned the 85-level Anna and the 83-level Kate, driving a Mithril-level transporter with the other ninety Seven NPCs headed to Silver Wing Town.
The Mithril-level transport vehicle can be said to be ostentatious when driving on the street, because the mount pulling the transport vehicle is a Thunder Horn Earth Dragon with a height of more than five meters, and it has the strength of a great lord. It is a giant beast, and the number of transport vehicles to the room is full, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
"What's going on? Is there something big going on in the city?"
"No! You see that the person driving the transport vehicle seems to be a player. Could it be that this player triggered some event?"
"The guild emblem that the player is wearing seems to be the six-wing emblem of the Zero Wing Guild!"
"Zero Wing Guild is too good! To be able to make such a powerful transport vehicle, I rely on even more than ten Tier 3 NPCs, this is simply against the sky!"
