Chapter 1855 – Town-level Guild
“Promotion to a 4-star Guild? That won’t be a problem,” the NPC senior administrator said as he turned his eyes towards the purple-golden token on the table . Once he saw the token, however, a look of surprise flashed across his face as he asked, “Lord Protector, do you really intend to use this Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order?”
“Is something wrong with it?” Shi Feng asked .
Although he had noticed that the 4-star Guild Promotion Order he had acquired was a different color than those he had seen in his previous life, it was a 4-star Guild Promotion Order . He hadn’t paid it much attention, assuming that the Promotion Order was slightly different since it had dropped from a World Boss .
“Lord Protector, Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders were produced when the Adventurer’s Association had first established . There are only 22 of these Advanced Promotion Orders in existence scattered across God’s Domain’s continent . They are considered a trial for Adventurer Guilds, and the more Advanced Promotion Orders an Adventurer Guild collects, the higher its status will be, enjoying greater treatment, in the Adventurer Association once it becomes a 4-star Guild .
“If an Adventurer Guild collects three Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders, it will be treated as a City-state-level Guild .
If an Adventurer Guild collects seven Advanced Promotion Orders, it’ll be treated as a Kingdom-level Guild . Currently, you already have one Advanced Promotion Order . If you collect another two, the Adventurer’s Association will recognize your Guild as a City-state, Lord Protector .
“However, if you promote your Guild now, you will lose the opportunity and will have to climb the ranks slowly, starting as a Town-level Guild . Are you sure that you want to use this Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order now?”
After listening to the senior administrator’s explanation, Shi Feng looked at the purple-gold token on the table, a little surprised .
So, the Adventurer’s Association has this kind of method to elevate a Guild’s status . Shi Feng understood what the statuses the senior administrator had mentioned represented . Other Guilds would only come to learn and value the information after they were promoted to 4-star status .
Once Guilds reached 4-star status, they’d open a ‘path’ in the Adventurer’s Association, gaining a temporary residence in every Adventurer’s Association across the continent of God’s Domain . From then on, members of 4-star Guilds’ base of operations wouldn’t be limited to one or a few locations . They could expand their development across the entire continent and use the opportunity to increase the EXP and income they earned .
This so-called ‘path’ meant recognition from the Adventurer’s Association as an official Guild . Official Guilds would then be able to engage in Adventurer Guild work . However, even after becoming an official Guild, Guilds would receive varying benefits from the Adventurer’s Association .
When a Guild first became a 4-star Guild, it would be treated as an Ordinary-level Guild . If the Guild wished to receive more support from the Association, it would have to raise its status . The simplest method of doing so involved upgrading the Guild’s status from Ordinary- to Town-level, City-state level, Kingdom-level, and finally, Empire-level .
Depending on the Guild’s rank in the Adventurer’s Association, the Guild would have access to different degrees of problems .
At the Ordinary-level, Guilds would be commissioned to solve civilian problems . Generally, these problems were similar to large-scale Guild Quests that required Guilds to wipe out some Demonic Beasts harassing the civilian population . Only, they might reward more EXP than ordinary large-scale Guild Quests .
After an Adventurer Guild reached the Town-level, the Adventurer’s Association would acknowledge the Guild’s ability to solve a town’s problems . Normally, Town-level Guilds would receive commissions from town nobles, and the rewards would be much better than Ordinary-level commissions . Even when a Town-level Guild accepted a civilian commission, the quest would reward more than what an Ordinary-level Guild would receive . After all, a Town-level Guild was much stronger than an Ordinary-level Guild .
When a Guild reached City-state Level, it proved to the Adventurer’s Association that it was strong enough to solve issues that plagued an entire region . Commissions City-state-level Guilds generally received involved crusades against the dark forces in a particular area .
Normally, to rise from Ordinary-level to City-state-level, a Guild had to complete a significant number of large-scale Guild Quests, slowly accumulating Prestige in the Adventurer’s Association . Large-scale Guild Quests only awarded three to five Prestige points, but becoming a Town-level Guild required 700 to 1,000 Prestige, depending on where the Guild’s main headquarters was located .
The number and quality of large-scale Guild Quests would differ depending on the size of its NPC city, so the more prosperous the city was, the more Prestige a Guild needed to increase its rank .
“Thank you for the advice, but I have decided to go through with the promotion,” Shi Feng said after giving the matter some thought
The revelation was indeed surprising . After all, just one Advanced Promotion Order was enough to promote a Guild to Town-level . Normally, it would take a large Guild several years to achieve such a feat . As for reaching the City-state-levels, not many large Guilds would rise so high within their lifetimes .
This was because promotion to the City-state-level required a Guild to complete a large-scale Promotion Quest in addition to earning enough Prestige . This Promotion quest was despairingly difficult . In the past, only a small number of second-rate Guilds had completed the quest, yet a Guild only needed three Advanced Promotion Orders to become a City-state-level Guild . As for Kingdom-level, only a small number of first-rate Guilds had reached that rank in the past .
However, Shi Feng didn’t have the time to search for more Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Orders . Most importantly, he didn’t have a clear idea of where to obtain them . Even if he knew that World Bosses dropped them, he wasn’t strong enough to hunt those Bosses yet . He had only slain the Flame Demon King thanks to his quest . If he tried to raid a Mythic ranked World Boss, he’d only be asking for a beating .
“Since Lord Protector has decided, the processing fees and Guild Residence reconstruction fees come to a total of 60,000 Gold . However, due to your status, we can offer you a discount of 10,000 Gold, dropping your total to 50,000 Gold,” the senior administrator said after making some calculations .
“Fifty thousand? Doesn’t a normal promotion to 4-star status only cost 12,000 Gold?” Shi Feng had already begun to retrieve the money from his bag, but after hearing the total cost, he froze with shock .
“As you are using the Advanced 4-star Guild Promotion Order, the promotion will require more work than usual . We also have to notify the various cities’ nobles and announce the officialization of the Zero Wing Guild . Hence, the procedural fees are slightly higher,” the senior administrator said .
How fraudulent . The senior administrator’s statement rendered Shi Feng speechless . However, when he thought about how Zero Wing would instantly become a Town-level Guild, he considered the cost relatively low . This was basically spending money to save time . Following which, he obediently took out 50,000 Gold and handed it to the NPC .
While he had seen to his quest, Phoenix Rain and Unyielding Heart had paid off the materials they had purchased, earning him another 120,000 Gold . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to afford the promotion fees .
Once the NPC confirmed Shi Feng’s payment, a series of system notifications reached Shi Feng’s ears .
