"Ding! Congratulations on becoming the lord of Thunderstorm Castle. You can choose to rename the name of the territory. Do you want to continue?"
No wonder I had never heard of the name of Leiyu Castle in my previous life. It turns out that the territory can be renamed!
Zhang Yang was lazy, so he said, "No need to change it!"
Afterwards, the system did not continue with the territory tutorial, but instead allowed him to directly enter the territory option on the operation interface to view it.
In the previous life, even the Qingshui Guild had never conquered any territory, so Zhang Yang was completely in the dark about how to manage the territory and needed to figure it out bit by bit.
Of course, the first thing is to build a teleportation array, which will not only facilitate the members of the guild, but also involve huge economic benefits!
"Ding! You chose to build a teleportation array. Each teleportation array needs to pay 1 million gold coins, and each teleportation array can only point to one of the eight main cities in the Chinese region! After the teleportation array is established, you can set the fee for using the teleportation array. Note that this teleportation array can only be used for one-way transmission!"
Zhang Yang immediately paid 1 million gold coins to the system and established a one-way teleportation array directly to Baiyu City.
As for the other seven main cities, he didn't want to spend the spare money! Because, at present, the banks and auction houses in the eight main cities have realized intercommunication, and the teleportation arrays between the main cities are free to use. When you arrive in Baiyu City, it is equivalent to arriving in the other seven main cities!
Besides, Zhang Yang also had his own selfish motives! Because, if he only opened the teleportation array to Baiyu City, there would definitely be a large number of extra players using the auction house and bank in Baiyu City, and his store was right across from the auction house. As long as 1% of the players stopped by to take a look...
Hehe! Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh, and said in the guild channel: "All members who have reached level 50 or above should come to Thunder Rain Castle and bind the teleportation talisman to the teleportation array here. In the future, you don't have to run back and forth. Arriving at Thunder Rain Castle is equivalent to arriving at White Jade City!"
"Wow, hooray!"
"President, I love you so much!"
"Go, go, go, hurry up and get on the plane!"
All of a sudden, all players above level 50 rushed to the flight point.
Zhang Yang also notified Xue Qianxun, Wu Tian and Chi Lianhuo, telling them that the teleportation talisman had been created and they could use it at will!
He set the teleportation fee for the members of these four guilds to 0, and for the others it was 1 gold coin. As for the members of the Overlord, Proud World, and Axe Gang, it was 10 gold coins, it was up to you to use it or not!
This teleportation array is not a one-time thing after it is built. It consumes a large amount of magic crystals every day to maintain its operation, and it needs to constantly purchase "energy" from the system. To put it bluntly, you have to pay taxes, and the benefits cannot be all taken by you alone!
This magic crystal is ridiculously expensive, one piece is 10 million gold coins, but fortunately, it can be used for 10 days, so it is still a big profit! There are more than 60 million players in China, and 5 to 6 million of them have reached level 50 or above. If each person teleports once a day, the cost can be recovered in two days!
As more people reach level 50, more people will use the territory teleportation array! Of course, more territories will be refreshed in the future, and the advantage is that no one guild will make all the money!
After completing the teleportation, Zhang Yang turned his attention to the defense of the territory!
Taking over a territory does not mean you can sit back and relax! As long as a guild gets a territory seizure order, it can launch a war to seize the territory. Although Damo Guyan is not afraid of the challenge of any guild, in a siege war, the attacker can buy siege weapons. If there is no corresponding defense force, then the defender will be bombarded into ashes!
Therefore, necessary defensive facilities are a must!
First of all, the weapon of mass destruction is the magic cannon! This thing is so awesome, with a range of hundreds of meters, and a piece of blast damage covers dozens of square meters, and it kills instantly if it touches someone. It is a very powerful defensive weapon!
Of course, this thing is ridiculously expensive! Just to buy it, a magic cannon costs 5 million gold coins. Moreover, the cannon alone is not enough, it also needs energy crystals as the energy source. An energy crystal costs 1 million gold coins, and it can only be fired 10 times!
One shot costs 100,000 gold coins. Wow, not many people can afford to fire this cannon!
But for the greater good, this money has to be paid!
Zhang Yang bought two magic cannons and two energy crystal sources, spending money like water. He couldn't help but wonder, if it was Han Yingxue or Wei Yaner, who knows what would happen to these two girls!
Weapons of mass destruction are available, but conventional forces are also needed to protect the security of the territory, because the system will not be so kind as to let you make money in peace! From time to time, groups of monsters will be sent to harass you. If you only use magic cannons, this thing is too expensive!
Therefore, Zhang Yang purchased an NPC army - a cavalry regiment of 100 elite members, and paid each of them 10,000 gold coins as salary every month. Of course, this was actually paid to the system.
These NPC soldiers are all level 65 and can be upgraded, but the upgrade requires extra money. Moreover, only when a player reaches level 70 can they be upgraded to level 75. Similarly, when a player reaches level 80, the NPC soldiers can be upgraded to level 85.
These NPCs can not only drive away monsters, but also maintain law and order in the territory. They are equivalent to the guards in the main city, but they are not as powerful!
Third, it’s city defense!
Things like city walls and gates are targets that can be attacked. For example, a level one city gate only has 1 million health points, 1000 armor points, and 1000 magic defense points. But when it is upgraded to level two, it has 10 million health points, 2500 armor points, and 2500 magic defense points!
The stronger the city defenses, the longer it will take for the enemy to break through the city defenses even if they have siege weapons such as catapults! Territory seizure wars are time-limited, and the longer you can keep the enemy outside the castle, the greater the chances of victory for the defenders!
Unfortunately, upgrading the city defense requires various ores. The higher the level, the more ores are needed and the more precious the quality is. This second-level city defense is still a long way off!
For example, blacksmiths who repair equipment and merchants who sell goods, this NPC system does not provide rental or sale, saying that they can only be obtained by completing specific tasks. Zhang Yang thought about it, although it is a bit inconvenient, it can allow players to use the teleportation array to return to the main city more frequently, increasing the teleportation fee!
Almost everything was ready. Zhang Yang first bound his teleportation talisman to the teleportation array of Thunder Rain Castle, and then returned to White Jade City through the teleportation array. He shouted on the regional channel: "Dear players, Thunder Rain Castle in Danila Forest has now established a one-way teleportation array to White Jade City. As long as you bind the teleportation talisman to the teleportation array there, you will never have to travel so hard again! The teleportation fee is super cheap, only 1 gold coin per time!"
After shouting in Baiyu City, he was teleported to the other seven major cities to spread the word.
I believe that no one would dislike such a convenient means of transportation! So Zhang Yang does not need to publicize it. As long as people know about it, use it, and find it convenient, more and more players will naturally bind the teleportation talisman to the Thunderstorm Castle.
In terms of geographical location, Thunderstorm Castle is located in a level 60 map, bordering level 50 and level 70 maps above and below, and level 60 maps on the left and right, spanning 30 levels. It is enough for players to stay in these three areas for four to five months. It can be said to be a prime location among prime locations!
Huge profits!
Before the second territory appeared, the transfer fee would be a terrifying profit! Even with the second and third territories, it would still be a huge profit, but it would be a little thinner!
Zhang Yang rewarded people according to their merits in the guild, and he was not stingy with gold coins at all. He spent money like water, which made Wei Yan'er and Han Yingxue's eyes sparkle.
The morale of the Desert Guyan team was greatly boosted. Everyone thought that it was cool to follow Zhang Yang. This guild boss never treated his subordinates unfairly. Following him made them feel comfortable! Moreover, the Desert Guyan team was already the world's number one in dungeon progress. Everyone had a sense of superiority and pride, and the cohesion of the guild was further enhanced.
After Zhang Yang shouted in the eight main cities, many players immediately rushed to Thunderstorm Castle to bind the teleportation talisman and try out the effect of the teleportation array.
Beep, beep, beep. Suddenly the voice communicator emitted the sound of a gentleman requesting to talk.
"Zhan Yu, you are going too far!" The angry voice of the gentleman burst out the moment Zhang Yang answered the call.
Zhang Yang laughed loudly and said, "How can I be so shameless as to bully others?"
"Other people's teleportation fee is 1 gold coin, why do we need 10 gold coins?" The gentleman said angrily. Although 10 gold coins is only 9 gold coins more than 1 gold, it is a psychological destruction to the members of Tyrant, which is equivalent to a means of alienation!
Zhang Yang sneered in his heart, this hypocrite is shameless. Last time, he let Tyrant escape because he didn't expect him to actually do such a shameful thing. But the two sides have already formed an irreconcilable hatred. Zhang Yang has died once and will never keep a tiger to harm him. He must completely destroy Tyrant!
He said calmly, "Oh, so you are rich and powerful, and you think 10 gold coins are too little? Then, how about 100 gold coins?"
"You—" The modest gentleman was so angry that he was speechless!
When there is competition, consumers are king! But when a monopoly is formed, consumers are fish at the mercy of others!
Although the gentleman wanted to slap Zhang Yang in the face, the location of Leiyu Fort was too good. It saved at least three hours of travel time. He really didn't have the courage to do so!
Bear it!
"You are so cruel!" The gentleman hung up the voice call angrily.
Members must not be asked to pay the extra 9 gold coins. Otherwise, it might be fine for eight or ten days, but after a long time, the guild will definitely mutiny! Although the modest gentleman has a mean style, he still has some brains!
I can only pay for this extra expense out of my own pocket! The gentleman gritted his teeth and made the decision, but when he thought about the more than 10,000 members in the club, how horrible this subsidy would be! Once a day is impossible, I can only reduce the number of times I go back to the main city, so I can subsidize it once every 10 days!
But if it’s done once every 10 days, it would cost about 300,000 gold a month. The humble gentleman suddenly felt so distressed that his face turned green!
Why does this modest gentleman always offer his face to him to be stepped on? Zhang Yang shook his head, tore open the teleportation talisman and returned to Thunderstorm Castle, intending to continue leveling up.
With the territory as a money-making weapon, the profits from potions became child's play. Zhang Yang paid more attention to maintaining his leading advantage in level. If a territory with a level 80 map is refreshed in the future, he will strive to be the first to take it!
