"Do you open a trade route?" Senior Deacon Elke looked at the black iron token in Shi Feng's hand in surprise, and couldn't help but reminded, "Guardian, although you have a caravan guard token, you are eligible to open a town. Trade route, but I want to remind you that opening a trade route is not trivial, and the cost is also not trivial. Moreover, you are here to open a trade route in the Star-Moon King City. Not only the price is extremely high, but the risk is also great. If you give up halfway, this caravan will protect you. The token is invalid."
"I understand, but I have the confidence to open a business route to Silver Wing Town." Shi Feng nodded.
Regarding the opening of trade routes, he was unable to understand things, and he had done it many times in his previous life.
In God's Domain, any guild town that wants to quickly introduce NPC merchants and make the guild town develop quickly, it needs to open trade routes, and there is a huge advantage after opening trade routes, that is, the rare items delivered by NPC merchants will be purchased first. Rights and royalties.
This seems to be nothing, but it is true that a neutral town is the main source of wealth before being promoted to a city, and there is no one.
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, entering the town after using this trade route will also need to pay a usage fee, because of this The business road is a safe road, and there are more advanced NPC escorts, even if the player reaches the 100th level, he dare not 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 traveling on this trade road a day, you can earn 800 gold in a day, and this It is still just a trade route. The income from a city to and from a small town, the more trade routes it introduces, the more the town earns.
However, such things as trade roads are only available when towns on neutral maps are promoted to intermediate towns, and they do not exist in kingdoms and empires.
In addition, the number of NPCs traveling to and from the town has a lot to do with the NPC cities that connect to the trade road. The more prosperous the NPC, the more NPCs going to and from the town. For example, the opening of the trade road in the royal city can be guaranteed every day. The traffic of 100,000 to 200,000 NPCs generally ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 for ordinary NPC cities, but the more prosperous the opened NPC city, the more difficult it is to open.
In addition to making money, opening a business route is also one of the ways to obtain rare materials.
Not all items in the goods shipped by NPC merchants will be sold to players. A considerable part of them are sold to NPCs. Ordinary players cannot buy these items. With the right of first-hand purchase, not only items sold to players can be purchased first. , Even items sold to NPCs are also available.
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 one costs 40 silver coins, but this is for the guild. It is very precious, after all, it is easy to change magic crystals into gold coins, but it is difficult to change gold coins into magic crystals, especially when it is replaced with a large number of magic crystals.
NPCs are different from players. It is much easier to obtain magic crystals than players. Because most of the mineral veins in the kingdom and empire that can produce magic crystals are occupied by NPCs, NPC merchants who sell magic crystals sometimes sell five thousand It is normal to reach 10,000 magic crystals, but it is extremely difficult to acquire 5,000 to 10,000 magic crystals from the player.
In addition, these NPC merchants will occasionally sell some rare high-level design drawings, the price is much higher than the sales between players, but the price is rare, players can not easily get them, and sometimes even sell legendary items. Clues to fragments and fragments of legendary items.
Although such a situation is rare in the entire Gods Realm, this probability is based on statistics. The more NPC merchants going to and from the town, the higher the possibility of getting legendary item fragments and clues to legendary item fragments.
Fragments of legendary items, even clues are very precious.
Since there is a possibility of obtaining them, Shi Feng of course can't let it go. After all, he knows few ways to obtain the fragments of legendary items, because most players will not tell how they came from even if they get the fragments of legendary items. He didn't want to reveal that he had fragments of legendary items. All he could know were fragments of well-known legendary items. The methods of obtaining them were very demanding, and most of them could not be obtained now.
"Since the guardian understands, it would be great. If the guardian wants to open up the business route to Silver Wing Town, according to this road, the basic cost is 10,000 gold and the number of magic crystals is 5,000, because the guardian The adults have a general caravan guard order. You are only allowed to recruit at most one hundred regiments. You also need to bring at least one senior magician to engrave a special magic circle on the road to ensure that monsters can be driven away on the road." Senior Deacon Ai Erke said, "I wonder if the guardian needs me to introduce mercenaries to go with you?"
"Of course." Shi Feng nodded.
The caravan guard token itself is like a special task to open a trade route. This task can be completed by all players, or it can be completed by hiring mercenaries from the Adventurer Association.
Compared with players, at this stage, mercenaries are definitely stronger, so players who get tokens are willing to hire mercenaries to do tasks together, but the price is high. Some guilds feel that they are strong in order to save money. Yes, it will let players do it.
Although the main force of Zero Wing is very strong, the level of the trade route to the Orc Empire is not low. Monsters appearing along the way are generally 15 levels higher than the map level. Monsters in many parts of the Orc Empire are level 60 or higher. 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 the guardian." Elke took out a list and handed it to Shi Feng.
The task of opening a trade route is very special and dangerous. It is not just that you can hire any kind of mercenary if you want to hire, but also according to the player's own status in the Adventurer Association. The higher the status, the more willing to take part in the action. The more mercenaries there, the better.
"It's amazing. The treatment equivalent to the vice chairman really helps to open up a business route." Shi Feng looked at the employment list and was a little speechless.
In the previous life, he opened a trade route, and the strongest one could hire was a three-star level 2 NPC. It is very difficult to open a trade route, but on the hire list, let alone a three-star level 2 NPC, even a two-star level 3 NPC. All came to participate, I have to say that the senior title has brought a lot of help to the players.
Shi Feng spent another fifteen thousand gold in one breath, spent seven or eighty-eight with the money on his hand, and hired 97 mercenaries. The lowest level of these mercenaries was 80, and the weakest were all 80 three-stars. The second-tier NPC, the strongest is the 83 second-star third-tier NPC, the entire team has as many as fifteen third-tier NPCs, which can be said to be extremely powerful.
After Shi Feng completed all the procedures and learned to portray the special advanced magic circle, Shi Feng summoned the 85-level Anna and 83-level Kate, and drove a Mythril-class transporter with the other ninety. Seven NPCs headed to Silver Wing Town in a mighty manner.
A Mithril-class transporter can be said to be arrogant when driving on the street, because the mount that pulls the transporter is a thunderhorn earth dragon with a height of more than five meters. It has the strength of a high lord itself, and walking on the street is like It's a behemoth, and the number of transport vehicles going to the house is ten, and the scene is extremely magnificent.
"What's the situation? Is there a big event going to happen in the city?"
"No! You see that the person driving the transporter seems to be a player. Could it be that this player triggered what event?"
"The guild emblem worn by that player seems to be the six-wing emblem of the Zero Wing guild!"
"Zero Wing Guild is too awesome! I can make such a powerful transporter. I rely on more than a dozen Tier 3 NPCs. This is simply going against the sky!" 89
