Chapter 759 - Harvest of the War
Shi Feng could not help his bitter smile as he heard the NPC receptionist’s words.
Sure enough, it isn’t that easy to establish a city. Shi Feng had thought it strange that Sharlyn had so kind-heartedly given him a City Building Order in exchange for only 10,000 Immortal Souls. This reward was much too extravagant for an Epic Quest. Sure enough, there is another test to this.
God’s Domain was currently still in its early stages.
Even a first-rate Guild would have to spend a relatively long time just to collect several thousand Gold. After all, for a Guild to develop, expand, and improve itself, it would have to spend an exorbitant amount of money. Normally, having even 1,000 Gold lying around was considered a luxury for a first-rate Guild.
Only Zero Wing, which had the Candlelight Trading Firm, Stone Forest Town, and a large number of Guild Quests, had a daily income of several thousand Gold. However, after expanding the Guild, they had a wider variety of expenditures. After deducting operating costs and salaries, Zero Wing raked in a clean profit of roughly 1,000 Gold each day. After a month, the Guild would make around 30,000 Gold.
The other Guilds could only dream of such wealth.
However, Shi Feng understood that, in reality, he was still just a poor bastard.
This was only a fraction of what he needed to establish his city.
The basic construction fee alone cost 120,000 Gold. After including the cost of dealing with monster attacks, it was practically impossible for him to earn what he needed to construct the city. He also had to think of the necessary building construction that he would need after the city itself was complete.
Shi Feng thought back to when Shadow had constructed a Mana Tower in its first city.
The Mana Tower’s required raw materials had cost close to 10,000 Gold. The Guild had also hired a bunch of NPCs to deal with the construction. Overall, the Mana Tower had cost Shadow 35,000 Gold.
The Black Market, on the other hand, had been somewhat cheaper. Even so, its construction still cost over 20,000 Gold.
If one added all the costs together, they would discover that the initial construction fee was only the first step to constructing a city.
Even so, a large Guild would willingly sacrifice everything it had, seeking sponsors and selling small portions of the Guild’s shares, to build a functioning city. Once the city was built, however, it would be a money magnet.
In the past, to construct its first city, Shadow had sought out over a dozen sponsors. It was also then that Shadow split its shares between many financial groups and corporations.
If Zero Wing did not wish to rely on external powers to construct a Guild City, then it needed to earn a lot more money.
When Shi Feng thought about the need to multiply his current income by several times, he felt his head throb.
When Shadow had constructed its first city, there were far more people playing God’s Domain, and it had been much easier to earn money. Currently, the majority of the players in God’s Domain had yet to reach Level 30. Hence, the challenge of earning more than 100,000 Gold was significantly more difficult than it had been.
Moreover, the Candlelight Trading Firm’s daily income was nearly at its max. It would be very difficult to increase it.
As for Stone Forest Town, the town’s income mainly came in the form of Magic Crystals. Moreover, it was also impossible to increase the town’s income within a short time. As for the income from Guild Quests, it could not even begin to compete with the income of the Candlelight Trading Firm and Stone Forest Town.
