Chapter 945 - Holy Land of Players
The Holy City of Titan was not like other cities . As soon as Shi Feng and the others emerged from the Teleportation Hall, they were stunned by what they saw .
Buildings that were hundreds of meters tall had been erected all over the city, looking very much like a modern city .
Various Lifestyle NPCs roamed about the streets . In God's Domain's NPC cities, players did not often encounter Master Lifestyle NPCs . Here, however, it was hard not to .
Yet, the Mana density was the most shocking aspect of the city .
Just by standing on the street, everyone felt an indescribable serenity . Their minds were astonishingly clear .
"This is a fantastic place to rest . This is a perfect place to relax and unwind after an exhausting day in the real world," Aqua Rose muttered to herself as she inhaled the pleasant air .
Even a Dark Player like Bloodsucker found himself nodding in agreement .
"Alright, snap out of it . Let's investigate the Lifestyle Association first," Shi Feng said, chuckling at his companions' reactions .
In the past, many people had dreamed of vacationing in Titan City . Unfortunately, very few could afford such a luxury .
Following which, the team rode an advanced horse carriage and headed for Titan City's Lifestyle Association .
There were three buildings that stood out in Titan City, and one was the Lifestyle Association's floating island . Titan City's ten saints had created this special island and suspended it above the city's western area . Players could take the floating elevator in the spire to reach the island .
When Youlan and the others saw the massive island above the 400-meter tall spire, they fell silent .
Youlan had initially assumed that the Lifestyle Association in Titan City would only be slightly better than those in kingdoms and empires' capital cities . Now, however, it would seem that there were more differences than she had thought . Calling this Lifestyle Association the 'Holy Land' for Lifestyle players was an exaggeration .
Shi Feng could not help but smile at Youlan's shock .
In the past, even Grandmaster Lifestyle players had dreamed of visiting the Holy City of Titan, and not without reason .
Upon entering the spire, Youlan immediately approached an NPC to inquire about this place .
"Hello, miss . How may I help you today?" the metal robot, which stood over three meters tall, asked from behind the front desk .
"I wish to rent a Workshop . Can you give me an introduction?" Youlan asked .
Immediately, the front desk robot began to explain the various Workshops available .
However, the NPC robot's introduction was very brief . It conveyed far less information than what Shi Feng knew . Even so, it was shocking enough the first time players heard it .
The Lifestyle Association was divided into three areas, namely the lower layer, the middle layer, and the upper layer .
The lower layer referred to the spire area . Workshops ranging from Basic to Special rank were found there . However, unlike the Workshops in other NPC cities, the Mana density in these was much higher . The Special Workshop here was even superior to the Basic Meditation Room in 3-star Shops .
Of course, its rental was very expensive .
Renting an Advanced Workshop for one day cost 10 Gold, while Special Workshops cost 25 Gold per day . This was an astronomical amount to ordinary Lifestyle players .
Meanwhile, the middle layer referred to the ordinary buildings on the floating island . The island had various Research Rooms, ranging from Basic to Advanced rank, but not limited .
Research Rooms were different from Workshops in which they stored large amounts of data that players could use to research and invent their own designs .
It was commonly known that, to reach the rank of Master, Lifestyle players needed to create their own items . Moreover, they needed to create relatively high-ranking items . This was far more difficult than producing an item from an existing design .
With these Research Room, Advanced Lifestyle players would have a much higher chance of becoming a Master Lifestyle player .
It was also precisely this reason that the Holy City of Titan had been known as the Holy Land for Lifestyle players . In the past, countless Lifestyle players had spent spend hundreds of Gold to get a slot into the Holy City . However, no Guild would be foolish enough to sell their slots . Only those top-class adventurer teams would sell entrance tokens . However, the various Guilds normally bought these tokens . Independent Lifestyle players had no hope of obtaining their own .
Of course, with such high benefits, the Research Rooms' rent wasn't cheap .
A Basic Research Room alone cost 200 Gold per day, though players of any status could rent one .
As for the Intermediate Research Rooms, each cost 500 Gold per day . Moreover, one needed to be an Honorary Citizen to rent these rooms . Furthermore, loaning the room to others was forbidden .
At Advanced rank, the Research Room cost 1,200 Gold per day . Only Titan City's nobles were allowed access to these rooms . This was one of the reasons that Shi Feng had been os desperate for the Holy City's Reputation Points . Without sufficient Reputation, he couldn't rent an Advanced Research Room regardless of how much money he had .
In reality, even without the Reputation requirement, the rental cost was enough to deter most Guilds at this stage of the game . However, if one calculated the cost carefully, they would realize how inexpensive the rooms were . If a Guild nurtured a Master Lifestyle player as a result of renting one of these extortionate Research Rooms, that player could bring the Guild far more profit than the rental costs .
Above the middle layer area was the Sacred Tower in the island's center . Only players who were major nobles in Titan City were allowed to entry the tower . As far as Shi Feng knew, the players that had access to the Sacred Tower had been as rare as a phoenix's feather in the past; most of them had been Grandmaster Lifestyle players, standing at the peak of God's Domain's Lifestyle players .
As for what the Sacred Tower contained, even Shi Feng didn't know .
As the NPC robot introduced the Lifestyle Association's various benefits, everyone, except for Shi Feng, gasped .
"NPCs are really skilled thieves!" Even Bloodsucker and White Night, people who had paid no attention to Lifestyle classes, were shocked by the Research Room's prices .
Renting an Advanced Research Room for a day cost as much as an Epic item . Even Super Guilds couldn't afford this .
Youlan paled upon hearing the NPC robot's explanation .
Even the Workshops' rent was astonishing .
If she calculated the cost of nurturing twenty Lifestyle players, each person could spend six days in Titan City . If she allowed all twenty to use Special Workshops, the rent alone would cost 3,000 Gold . After factoring in the material costs, the total would even endanger a first-rate Guild . Furthermore, she would have to use her own money, and there was still no guarantee that all twenty players would reach Advanced rank within those six days .
