Chapter 756 - Fief
Compared to Shi Feng’s previous visit, a new, large collection of ancient books filled the Star-Moon Hall .  Some of these books even radiated Mana that could rival Tier 4 Magic Scrolls . 
Tier 4 Magic Scrolls were almost as rare as Legendary items in God’s Domain . 
Tier 4 Magic Scrolls had survived since the ancient era .  Shi Feng had yet to hear of anyone who could produce Tier 4 Magic Scrolls . 
If a book could exude so much Mana that it rivaled a Tier 4 Magic Scroll, one could easily tell that these books were extraordinary . 
Meanwhile, Sharlyn, who sat high above the hall, had also changed significantly . 
Although her Level, statistics, and clothing had not undergone any transformations, the pressure she gave off had changed tremendously .  She did not have the usual, oppressive aura of a powerhouse .  Instead, she felt like the all-encompassing sky .  Her presence could be felt from anywhere within the room . 
Before Shi Feng had approached Sharlyn, he felt his mind clear far more than ever before .  He also noticed that the endless streams of Mana in the room were actually moving towards Sharlyn .  It was as if Sharlyn were God’s Domain’s heart . 
This… How could this be possible! Shi Feng was shocked when he arrived before Sharlyn . 
Shi Feng had discovered something that shook him to the core . 
After reaching the Void Realm, he felt his environment as clearly as the palm of his hand .  He could sense everything within a fixed radius of himself to an astonishingly accurate degree .  Previously, as Sharlyn had still been outside his range, he had not thought much about not noticing Sharlyn’s energy .  Yet, despite standing so close to the woman, he couldn’t feel her at all . 
Before, the two Tier 3 Paladins had clearly been able to feel her presence .  Shi Feng doubted that his sense had failed him . 
“Has something happened that has led you to find me so urgently?” Sharlyn, who had been reading a book, asked with great interest as her beautiful eyes turned towards Shi Feng . 
“Lady Sharlyn, I’ve collected the Immortal Souls you requested . ” Shi Feng displayed the Spirit Seal imprinted on the back of his right hand .  Immortal Souls filled the Seal to the brim . 
“Oh? Good job .  With this many Immortal Souls, I’ll be able to repair the Immortal Crown quickly . ” Sharlyn nodded and tapped her finger in the air .  Suddenly, golden divine runes began circling Shi Feng’s right hand .  Countless golden threads flowed out of the Spirit Seal, gathering into a ball before flying into Sharlyn’s hand .  “Since you have completed your quest, I will fulfill my promise as well .  Here, this is for you . ”
Sharlyn waved her hand .  In the next moment, a leaf of lambskin parchment appeared in her hand .  The parchment then flew towards Shi Feng . 
The lambskin parchment looked quite ordinary .  However, the words on the parchment could tempt any Guild in God’s Domain . 
Star-Moon Kingdom City Building Order!
As long as it was within Star-Moon Kingdom’s jurisdiction, one could construct their own city with this City Building Order .
To a Guild, even a Legendary item was not worth as much as this single piece of parchment . 
                            
Cities were different from towns .  In God’s Domain, cities could be built, whereas towns could not .  Meanwhile, captured towns’ locations were fixed, but built cities could be chosen casually .  One could even build a city in the middle of monsters’ territory . 
A town’s maximum population usually ranged between 30,000 to 50,000 .  On the other hand, even the smallest city could hold 200,000 players .  
This was why, after obtaining their own towns, Guilds would focus all of their efforts on developing the town in the hopes of promoting it into a city as soon as possible . 
Moreover, as a city demanded a sufficiently large plot of land, one could construct a Mana Tower in the city .  With the Mana Tower, any player residing in the city would enjoy increased Stamina and Concentration recovery rates .  They could even accumulate the Double EXP buff .  Although the accumulation rate was not as generous as a Guild Residence’s, one could still accumulate 10%’s worth of Double EXP buff after 48 hours of rest . 
Once players reached higher levels, the needed EXP to level up increased tremendously .  Currently, Level 30 ordinary players required roughly three or four days to reach the next level .  Hence, even a 10% Double EXP buff would significantly reduce the time players needed to grind . 
Aside from improving one’s Stamina and Concentration recovery rates, hotels would also offer the Guild Residence effect, allowing players to accumulate 20%’s worth of Double EXP buff after 48 hours of rest . 
Meanwhile, the Guild that controlled the city would also see some benefits .  When Guild members rested in the Guild Residence, they would accumulate 30%’s worth of Double EXP buff after 48 hours . 
In addition to receiving this Double EXP perk, a player-established city would also receive a Specialty Product .
Aside from being able to construct a Mana Tower, one could also construct a Black Market Auction House in the city .  This Auction House would function like the Auction House in Blackwing City .  It would offer a large stock of products once every three days .  Sometimes, even Epic items were available for bidding .  
Because of these benefits, many Guilds in God’s Domain desperately wanted to establish their own cities, regardless of the price .  
                            
A player-owned town could only make travel more convenient for players .  A city, on the other hand, made it easier for players to level up . 
The size of a Guild Residence and the number of members it could house were limited .  Not every Guild member could enjoy the Double EXP buff .  However, it was a different story if a Guild owned a city .  With a city, every Guild member could enjoy the Double EXP buff . 
A city was also a great source of income for a Guild . 
As a player city had various benefits that an NPC city did not, many players wanted access to a player city .  Unless a Guild offered Private Housing within the city, all players were required to pay an entry fee .  
The entry fee was an important source of income for a player city .  In comparison, a Guild would only earn pennies from the opening a shop .  A Shop could never compete with a city regarding profits . 
When Shi Feng gazed down at the City Building Order in his hands, he nearly drooled .  Despite having been the Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild in his previous life, the Guild having owned ten city-states, he struggled to maintain his calm now that he knew he would have his own . 
His very own city!
In the past, something like this could only happen in his dreams!
Yet, now, he held this dream in his hands . 
While every other Guild competed over the golden Lands in NPC cities, nobody had any clue that Shi Feng would no longer compete on the same stage .  Because from now on, Shi Feng would begin the competition for the kingdom’s Territories . 
Calm! I need to stay calm! This is only the beginning! Shi Feng continuously advised himself . 
In God’s Domain, like NPC cities’ golden Lands and ordinary Lands, there were poor Territories and Territories with excellent resources in every kingdom and empire .  The sooner one constructed their own city, the sooner they could occupy these resource-rich Territories . 
What counted as a resource-rich Territory?
First, it was in an easily accessible location .  As players reached higher levels, they would have to venture further from NPC cities .  If a city were close to these high-level maps, it would save players a lot of travel time .  It was a similar concept to capturing certain towns . 
However, most towns were still quite far away from the truly excellent leveling areas . 
Meanwhile, a city that was close to multiple high-level maps would attract large amounts of players . 
Second, it was an area that was near consumable resources .  This would provide convenience for players who needed to farm materials .  After all, rare herbs and ores were necessary for players, regardless of Level . 
Third, the Territory needed to be close to high-level Regional dungeons .  Most Regional Dungeons were particularly far from NPC towns and cities .  Furthermore, Regional Dungeons had their own specialty products such as the Stoneclaw Mountains’ Magic Crystals .  Even after reaching Level 200, Magic Crystals were still must-have items . 
…
Where should I construct the city? Shi Feng grew troubled as he stared at the City Building Order .
