"You think it's that easy to build a city." Xia Chiyu frowned and retorted, "Not to mention that it takes a lot of money to build a city, it also needs a considerable reputation to attract popularity, and at the same time, it requires the whole city to collect the resources needed to build a city, without the fame of a princely general, it is not so simple." ”

"Well said." Reis explained, "The problem of money, the four of us can solve it, right?" It may be a bit immodest to say this, but the four of us can complete a lot of difficult tasks and definitely make a lot of money. ”

Immediately, Gu Qinyan also patted the awakened shoulder and said: "Popularity is not a problem, with this Shadow Demon King here, it should be able to pull a lot of people from this city, starting with the first-level fortress and slowly expanding." ”

"But it's a big problem to upgrade supplies." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "These materials can't be bought with money, they can only be collected from all corners of this world at the beginning of the construction of the city, without these materials, the buildings in the city can't be built." ”

"That's a real problem." Su Xing held his chin and muttered, "I can only rely on the efforts of the guild members, and the four of them can't be busy no matter how much they collect." How strong is your guild? ”

When this question was spoken, the crowd fell silent.

"Well...... Anyway, a few of us haven't been back to the guild for a few days, let's go back first, and by the way, talk to the people in the guild about the Su family and the fortress. After all, it's not our meeting, and it's not easy for us to call the shots. Xia Chiyu hesitated, they asked Zhang Zinuo to wait for news in Tai'an City, and then the teleportation array teleported back to the guild located in the fourteenth district.

Now it's different from the past, after the previous announcement of the purification event of the Demon Forest by Xia Chiyu and the three of them, you can see the announcement of new players entering the guild every day, and occasionally some people will withdraw from the club, but the guild members are still increasing.

"This is really lively...... Looking at the once deserted treehouse bar, now there are constantly players coming in and out, Xia Chiyu suddenly has a feeling of being in a different world, as if a long time has passed since the deserted day.

Xia Chiyu took the three of them to the door of the treehouse, and a wave of sound came from the treehouse bar, and the players piled up the treehouse, or chatted with each other, or checked the commissions of the shops in front of the mission message board.

In that crowd, Xia Chiyu saw Liu Yiyu, Xiao You, and Pepe, who were chatting with other players in front of the bar. Liu Yiyu was facing them, and he immediately discovered them.

"Ah, eat fish!" Liu Yiyu called happily, bypassing the player in front of him and rushing over to Xia Chiyu's side.

"And Lacey and Xiao Gu, are you back? I haven't seen you for a few days, they're already level fifty-five, and Xiao Gu and Reis are also fifty-seven......" Liu Yiyu said, looking curiously at the awakening behind Xia Chiyu, "Hey, there's a level fifty-eight player here, who is a new member?" Welcome to join us. ”

"Oh, there are so many girls...... "Su Xing looked around and sighed, then turned to Liu Yiyu, and said with a smile: "Ah, thank you, thank you, anyway, isn't the guild quite lively?" This should be no problem with materials, right? ”

Xia Chiyu said hello to Xiao You and Pepe, who waved to them at the bar, and then turned to Liu Yiyu and said, "By the way, Xiaoyu, you haven't decided on the purpose of the land in the Forest of Ancient Trees, have you?" ”

"No, several guilds have come to talk to us about this in the past few days, saying that they want to acquire that piece of land, that is, they want our guild to be their affiliate, and I don't understand this aspect of the market, so I just said to think about it, and then wait for you to come back." Liu Yiyu said with some embarrassment, "But some of them are really ...... Truculent. ”

"Normal, for those princely generals, a neutral area that can build a city is no different from a cash cow, how much does it cost?" Gu Qinyan sat down at the bar and asked with a somewhat tired sigh.

"It's quite high, there is a guild that offers a price of 50,000 star coins." Liu Yiyu held his chin and said.

"Silly girl...... But it's good that you waited until we got back. Xia Chiyu rubbed Liu Yiyu's brain, and Gu Qinyan took a glass of wine from Pepe's hand on the side, and said disdainfully, "At this price, adding zero is too little." ”

"Huh!? So is it worth the money? 500,000 Star Coins is also 500,000 in reality! Xiao You suddenly leaned over from the side and asked.

"There is income in building a city, and as long as there are players in the city, the income will be endless. Players who trade in it will be automatically deducted by the system with a 5% handling fee for city management fees, which is actually a reward for the people who built the city. Reis explained.

This amount of money will slowly increase as the number of players joining the city increases, and the amount will become very considerable, with the current popularity of AO, it is not a problem to be popular for another ten years, if it can reach the scale of the current thirty-four districts, for example, 500,000 star coins can basically be earned back in one or two years.

Liu Yiyu asked curiously: "But I remember that you said that the princes will collect additional taxes for them?" ”

"Who's going to have a lot of money, right?" Su Xing also sat down at the bar and smiled at Pepe: "Although I am a newcomer, can you bring me a drink, beauty?" ”

The benefits of building a city are very numerous, in addition to making money, you can also build a special stronghold for your guild, and if you own a city, you can create some fortifications in the city to deal with enemies inside and outside the city.

These fortifications are operated by the player, but do not require a player level, so even if there are no powerful players in the city, they can easily resist the attacks of some high-level monsters and players.

In a big city like District 34, the fortifications are also very strong, and it is impossible to defeat them without an army of thousands of people, not to mention the guilds of princely generals and the high-level players led by them in the city.

"Build a city?" Liu Yiyu held her chin and pondered, looking cute and cute.

However, at this time, a large group of people suddenly squeezed in from the gate of the guild, and the leaders were Zhang Zhiwei, Cheng Ming, and a strange sixty-sixth-level player, this sixty-sixth-level player is a real-name player, named Wu Tianlun, who is a knight, and they are followed by a group of fifty-two and three-level players, who seem to have just returned from playing a dungeon.

"Yo, Six-Six, we're back." Wu Tianlun greeted Liu Yiyu warmly, and Liu Yiyu also smiled and waved his hand to him: "Aaron, has the copy been opened?" ”

Looking at their appearance, it seems that they have known each other for a long time, seeing that Xia Chiyu was a little puzzled, Xiao You explained on the side: "Aaron He is also a friend we know in reality, not as good as the relationship between the five of us, and the contact in reality is not very frequent." He was in other guilds before, but he came back to our guild the day before yesterday and said that he wanted to develop with us. ”

I didn't want to develop together before, but now that I'm famous, I suddenly want to. Xia Chiyu muttered in his heart.

"Hmph, I didn't want to develop together before, but when the Guild Purification Demon Forest became famous, I wanted to develop together? It's so hypocritical that it makes me sick. Gu Qinyan whispered beside him.

"It's not good for you to do that." Reis smiled bitterly on the side, woke up and took a sip of wine and said, "Although it is the truth." ”

"Oh? You're back eating fish, huh? After Cheng Ming saw Xia Chiyu, a hint of joy flashed on his face: "We just finished playing a level 50 dungeon, although it is a bit hanging, but in the end, all the staff are safe." ”

"How can I attrition with me, I'm sixty-six." Wu Tianlun patted Cheng Ming's shoulder and said with a smile.

"President, I'm here to tell you about the land in the Forest of Ancient Trees." Xia Chiyu said, briefly explaining to him the situation in Tai'an City and some of the benefits of building a fortress.

"No problem, let's start building." Zhang Zhiwei patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Anyway, that place was also fought down by the three of you, not to mention that the number of guilds has exceeded two hundred now, and it is indeed going to be expanded, this small guild is a little unbearable." ”

"I'll change the announcement in the guild later, inform the guild members of this matter, and we'll go and set the basic scale in a while!" Cheng Ming nodded vigorously and said,

"Liuliu, did you go to the restaurant I mentioned yesterday?" Wu Tianlun sat down in front of the bar and asked Liu Yiyu.

"I ate it, it's really good, but Xiaoyou doesn't like it very much, I think it's too spicy......" Liu Yiyu said with a smile, and Cheng Ming's gang immediately talked about topics in life.

Seeing this, Xia Chiyu picked up the wine glass and sat in the corner of the bar.

"I understand." Su Xing sat down next to Xia Chiyu and said with a smile: "Seeing them chatting about topics that are so intimate that they can't interject at all, it feels like saying, 'We don't have a place for you to intervene here', right?" ”

"That's how it is to come back after two years away." Xia Chiyu held his chin and sighed and said, "The old friends are gone, the new friends have old friends, and they are a group of people I know in reality...... Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the next steps. For the 'four of us'. ”

Gu Qinyan held his chin and said: "Finding upgrade materials is a matter of manpower and time, and the four of us can't help much, so let's start with money." ”

"That makes sense, but it's still slow to make money if you only rely on tasks and selling materials." Wake up stirred the cocktail in the cup and said, "Let's just say that the materials dropped from the Blood Holy Land this time are worth a few thousand star coins, right?" ”

"Yes, making money in this game depends either on luck or on the accumulation of time." Xia Chiyu took a sip of wine and said, "However, there is a place where you can combine 'luck' and 'strength' to make money, but it's a bit dangerous." ”

"You mean to go to the gladiatorial arena and bet on yourself to win?" Gu Qinyan asked with a flat face, "This is a good idea, so let's raise the level to sixty first." ”
