Chapter 155 Okoron City

These level 100 Black Lions were no match for Yarop, the level 180 elite Berserker. With his bare hands, Yarop knocked them to the ground one after another. Before long, the ground was littered with Black Lion corpses.

"That guy is fierce. If he were equipped with a set of super gear, it would be something else," Brilliant Knife Light and Smoky Water Chestnut couldn't help but exclaim. Even though they were Divine Swordsman and Holy Swordsman, with such a level difference, they were no match for Yarop.

Yarop was brave and skilled in battle, with very rich combat experience, not inferior to a top-tier class.

Nie Yan thought that if Yarop could independently advance to a top-tier class, his strength would definitely increase many times over, becoming even more powerful. NPCs could also advance to top-tier classes like players, but advancing to a top-tier class was a very dangerous thing. If Yarop died during the process, he would not be able to be resurrected. So, he had to think about it carefully.

After about twenty minutes, the team from the Niu Ren Tribe arrived one after another. They formed small teams of ten people each and began to clear out the monsters.

Yarop put on the equipment that Nie Yan had asked someone to bring from the Niu Ren Tribe, a set of metal armor. The best was level 160 Dark Gold equipment, and the rest were at least level 150 or higher. They were all items that Nie Yan had found while opening treasure chests with his flying mount, and they had been stored in the Niu Ren Tribe's guild warehouse without being used.

Nie Yan and the others cleared the area around them. He took out a huge crystal ball from his backpack. The blue crystal ball emitted waves of light blue energy.

This was the City Energy Keystone that Nie Yan had bought from the NPC store for one million gold coins.

He placed the City Energy Keystone on an open space, and a powerful energy shockwave swept across, instantly leveling the area within a radius of thousands of yards, forming a huge rune array.

This would be the foundation for building the city.

Building a city in Faith was not as troublesome as in the real world. As long as you had enough money, you could build it quickly. In fact, the most important thing was the qualification to build a city. Without the qualification to build a city, illegally building a city in the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire would be regarded as treason, and the two empires would quickly send troops to suppress it.

This proved that illegal buildings would be forcibly demolished.

Since this was Nie Yan's territory, Nie Yan had control, so he could build whatever he wanted.

Next was the time to spend a lot of money. Nie Yan glanced at the list. To upgrade a low-level city, he needed to build elementary city walls, a small municipal hall, a Sacred Hall-level church hall, a Mercenary Hall, and other buildings. The most basic construction costs would cost millions. Ordinary guilds simply couldn't support such a huge expense. Perhaps only Nie Yan could afford to invest in it. However, once a city was successfully built and the population reached a certain number, the income would be considerable. Just renting out shops and collecting taxes would be enough for Nie Yan to make a huge profit.

Soon, buildings rose from the ground, and money flowed out of Nie Yan's backpack like water. Nie Yan's goal was not just to develop a low-level city, so the things he built were of a very high standard, which could be slowly upgraded later.

The city stood in the center of the grassland, magnificent and grand, covering a very large area. An elementary city could accommodate at least five to six hundred thousand people, and even millions after advancing to a medium or large city.

Nie Yan asked Guo Huai, Smoky Water Chestnut, and others to help formulate laws. As the outline of the city slowly took shape, a system notification sounded.

System: Please name this city.

Nie Yan thought for a while. Based on his understanding of the language of Faith, he thought of a name, Okoron City. In the ancient common language of Faith, Okoron meant glory, so Okoron City was also called the City of Glory.

The things Nie Yan had done, including advancing to Great Prophet and acquiring a player territory, were unprecedented. Even in his previous life, no one had achieved them. The Niu Ren Tribe's achievements could be considered glorious. Nie Yan was full of confidence that the Niu Ren Tribe's future would be even more glorious.

Nie Yan built guild halls and other buildings in Okoron City and set up residential areas specifically for the players of the Niu Ren Tribe. For players, owning a residence in the city was a very luxurious thing. Residences had many uses. They could be used as gathering places and were ready-made warehouses. The most ordinary residences could provide players with 20,000 slots of super-large warehouse space. In addition, players could set their return points in their residences and return directly to their residences after using a Return Scroll, so they could become transit stations for leveling up.

From now on, all players of the Niu Ren Tribe and its various branch guilds could obtain a residence in Okoron City for free!

Nie Yan asked Guo Huai to submit an application to the Greenland Empire's Elder Council to move the Niu Ren Tribe's guild headquarters from Cripps Fortress in Carol City to Okoron.

Okoron would become a main city, which was not comparable to a medium-level fortress. In addition, the laws of Okoron City were formulated by Nie Yan and others themselves, which gave the Niu Ren Tribe a great advantage.

If the Niu Ren Tribe's guild headquarters were moved here, they could just avoid Qin Han's skeleton army's frenzied attack.

Qin Han's skeleton army was eyeing Cripps Fortress. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, Cripps Fortress would suffer a great disaster. If they could avoid Qin Han's attention and quietly transfer the guild headquarters to Okoron City, it would be equivalent to escaping unscathed.

Nie Yan sent a message to Guo Huai: "After our guild headquarters is transferred, temporarily block the news and don't release it within the guild."

"How can this be done!" Guo Huai frowned. The guild headquarters had been transferred, and it was almost impossible to completely hide the news within the guild without letting the players below know.

Nie Yan thought for a while and said, "After applying to transfer the guild headquarters, there is still one last step that requires my personal confirmation. I can delay it for about a month before confirming. Let's quietly transfer all the guild assets from Cripps to Okoron first. If Cripps Fortress can't be defended, I'll go and confirm the transfer of the guild headquarters."

"Confirming the transfer of the guild headquarters takes at least a day or so, so if you want to confirm the transfer of the guild headquarters, you'd better prepare in advance," Guo Huai said.

"I understand," Nie Yan nodded.

Guo Huai went to arrange it. Transferring guild assets was not a troublesome thing. A few hundred trusted subordinates could quietly complete it.

Okoron City had been built almost completely. Nie Yan looked at his backpack and had used about seven million gold coins, leaving more than nine million gold coins in his backpack.

"How much money did you spend?" Brilliant Knife Light asked.

"About seven million," Nie Yan said. "Upgrading to a medium-level city requires at least fifteen million gold coins. I don't have enough money, so I won't continue upgrading for now. I guess I'll have to wait a few days to accumulate some funds."

Brilliant Knife Light and the others were shocked to hear this. In such a short time, seven million gold coins had been spent, and so much more would have to be invested in the future.

"Can the money that's been invested be recovered?" Smoky Water Chestnut asked. If the money couldn't be recovered, it would be a huge loss.

"Don't worry, if it's built into a medium-level city, just the shops and land alone can be sold for more than twenty million gold coins, and the daily tax revenue can reach more than one million gold coins," Nie Yan said with a smile.

Brilliant Knife Light and the others didn't know much about the Niu Ren Tribe's operations. Although they knew that the Niu Ren Tribe had obtained a lot of income by monopolizing the potion market, they were still very surprised to suddenly hear such large numbers.

The Niu Ren Tribe's guild strength had been steadily improving, which was considered relatively fast. In terms of economy, Nie Yan used his rebirth experience to build a huge business empire, which was completely ahead of its time and could meet any needs of the Niu Ren Tribe.

As the main construction of Okoron City was completed, the teleportation arrays were also opened. More and more players from the Niu Ren Tribe and its subordinate branch guilds entered Okoron City, and the popularity of Okoron City increased. There were many players walking on the streets.

Ordinary fortresses could only open one or two teleportation arrays, while Okoron City had as many as six, connecting all the cities of the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire. The teleportation fee from Okoron City to the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire was about one hundred gold coins. Nie Yan could receive half of the income from the teleportation arrays. If the popularity of the Abernathy Grassland increased in the future, the fees from the teleportation arrays alone would be a huge income. The only thing that Nie Yan was not satisfied with was that the teleportation fee in Okoron was relatively high, which was not conducive to the development of Okoron.

Nie Yan planned to capture some flying mounts and build a flying point in the center of Okoron, which would make it more convenient to travel from Okoron to other cities.

The news of the establishment of Okoron City quickly spread on the forums.

This was the first city established by players, and it immediately attracted the attention of all players. Many people wanted to go to Okoron City to see it, but the teleportation fee was a bit high, which was an obstacle for ordinary players. It was too far to ride a horse to Okoron City, and it was easy to encounter danger along the way.

The players of the Niu Ren Tribe were very excited to learn about the establishment of Okoron City. Soon, they received a message that each of them had obtained a residence in Okoron City, which was a very generous benefit for ordinary players.

It should be known that only the Niu Ren Tribe's players in the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire had received such benefits.

The Niu Ren Tribe's players in various places who received the news were excited and wanted to go to Okoron City to see it.

"The boss said he's preparing to build a flying point. When the time comes, we can go to Okoron City for free."

"That's great. Leader Nie Yan is so awesome. I hope the flying point will be built soon."
