Chapter 1016: Natasha’s Shock

Star Falls City, Vanguard Guild Residence

At the current moment, the guild residence was being swarmed by many players who wished to obtain a town token.

"Please lower the price slightly! I only have 8 silver coins."

"Yes, please offer some discount. I’ll make sure to refer to my other friends to go to your town."

Players crowded the residence, but most of them were pleading for the town token fee to be lowered or be discounted. The attraction of the combat experience increase was too fatal for anyone to ignore or disregard.

This was especially true when the Vanguard Guild had personally confirmed the post to be true.

To put the cherry on the topping, the Vanguard Guild even stated that if anyone didn’t have their combat experience increase, there would be a 100% refund and 50% discount on all facilities within the town.

With such a bold statement, it naturally made many players eager to go to the town to check it over.

However, that didn’t mean everyone could afford the staggering price of 10 silver coins.

"Apologies, but the town token price is set in stone. If you cannot afford it, then please come back next time." Tracy, the NPC whom Xu Feng had hired, announced loudly.

By placing an NPC to be the person in charge had numerous benefits.

And the most important benefit had to be their ability to remain completely firm and steady in their stance.

Once an NPC received order from the players who hired them, then they would definitely follow it through without any alteration.

It didn’t even matter what type of situation occurred to them. Nothing would change their mind unless the player who hired them made a change of mind.

Of course, the order must be in compliance with the Divine World’s laws and make sense. Otherwise, the order would be nullified and it might even risk the player being blacklisted by the system from hiring an NPC ever again depending on the severity.

While the crowd was disappointed that they had to talk with an NPC, at the teleport platform, a woman appeared.

She was none other than Natasha, who had come to the city in a hurry after hearing Ten Ghost’s report.

’Star Falls City sure is bustling.’ Natasha glanced at the city and felt its prosperity was worth noting down. If possible, she wanted to create a branch here after eradicating the Overlord.

Star Falls City’s Overlord was none other than the Vanguard Guild.

Natasha knew that this particular guild posed a significant danger and obstacle to Illuminati. Hence, she was determined to eliminate them before they grew far too dangerous. Letting a dangerous tumor to fester was equivalent to asking for death.

Sometime later, Natasha arrived at the bustling guild residence.

"This NPC woman is impossible to convince."

"I have 8 silver coins, so does anyone want to lend me 2 silver coins? I’ll gladly add you as a friend and let you know about the combat experience."

"Scram! Who wants to add an ugly man as a friend?"

While some players were scrambling to get 10 silver coins, Natasha ignored them and walked straight to the person in charge.

"Hi, can I purchase a town token?" Natasha asked nicely.

"Sure, it’s 10 silver coins." Tracy responded.

Without hesitation, Natasha retrieved 10 silver coins and received the town token.

"You can now activate the town token to be teleported to Haven Wind Town. But keep in mind that it’s a one-time usage. Once you leave the town, you would need another town token." Tracy explained.

It sounded simple on the surface, but Natasha was left speechless by the arrangement.

She glanced at the town token in her hand and realized the Vanguard Guild was even more exorbitant than she had imagined. The Reave Town that she commanded behind the scene allowed players to return to the town as long as the day hadn’t passed.

Yet the Vanguard Guild was blatantly charging players the entry fee again as soon as one were to leave the town, even if it was by accident.

’The town is located at Twilight Glades, so do they expect players to travel a long time to another city or town?’ Natasha was a bit shocked.

"What happens if one were to accidentally leave the town? How are we supposed to return to the city?" She then raised the question. She had no intention of wasting so much time in the wilderness just in case she had a foot outside the town’s gate.

Upon hearing the question, Tracy’s eyes lit up. It was about time someone decided to ask this particular question rather than requesting for a discount or lower pricing.

"Rest assured, the town has anticipated some careless players might do that. In such cases, the player could re-purchase another town token at 50% discount. If they lack the necessary fund, then they are free to undertake some of the missions posted in the Town’s Adventure Guild to earn money."

"What if I just want to use the teleport platform function to return to the city and not actually enter the town for its facility."

"Then at 2 silver coins price, a Town Guard would guide the player to the teleport platform and ensure they are safely teleported to a city they desired. Keep in mind though, the teleport fee would be paid by the players if they wanted to teleport to cities other than Star Falls City."

With the series of questions that Natasha raised, the players that were crowding behind turned silent. They began contemplating the explanation Tracy offered.

In the meantime, Natasha’s face had turned somewhat strange. For some reason, she was starting to get goosebumps at such a method.

No matter the circumstances, the Vanguard Guild seemed to be ready for it. But what made her frightened was their subtle means to earn money from numerous channels.

’Is Guild Leader Lin Feng confident in their town to surpass Reave Town?’ Natasha tightened her grip on the town token. The overall method would only work if the town’s attractiveness was worth it. Otherwise, it would become a laughingstock among others.
