Chapter 1 The Players Arrive

The players who came to Okoron City either had flying mounts or usually leveled up in the Abernathy Grassland. After entering Okoron City, they walked and looked around, full of curiosity about this place.

Although Okoron City was much smaller than the big cities of the Greenland Empire like Carol City, it was already very good as a player city. Looking at the neat streets and rows of buildings here, the players were amazed one by one. How much money would it cost to build such a city!

Nie Yan built a mercenary guild in the city center and began to recruit NPCs with high salaries to form his own NPC army. The announcement had been sent out, and it would take a long time for the NPCs to come to Okoron City one after another.

Nie Yan was thinking about how to develop the commerce of Okoron City. After the players came here, a developed commerce could keep them. While he was planning, Guo Huai sent him a message that many merchants had begun to contact him, wanting to settle in Okoron City. Although Okoron City had just started, they keenly felt the future business opportunities of Okoron City.

The Abernathy Grassland would become a transit station between the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire, and the goods and commodities of the two countries would circulate here. This superior geographical location destined it to become a prosperous commercial center. How could those discerning merchants not take action!

They contacted Guo Huai eagerly, which solved a big problem for Nie Yan.

"How many people have contacted you so far? What kind of backgrounds are they?" Nie Yan asked. He had to review the qualifications of the merchants who would be stationed in Okoron City in the future.

"There are a total of two hundred and twelve merchants, of which about 40% are from the Satreen Empire. Some very famous merchants, including the Red Moon Merchant Guild, which currently occupies 60% of the scroll market in the Satreen Empire, have also decided to send caravans over. They are all complaining that the teleportation fees are too expensive. When will your flying point be completed? What scale are you planning to make it?"

"Don't worry about this. It's easy to set up a flying point. We can temporarily buy some giant bats from the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire. We can use giant bats within the three-month protection period, but there will be some problems after three months. We have to get some powerful flying mounts to form a flying mount transport team, otherwise it will be easily targeted by other forces," Nie Yan said. Giant bats have no attack ability and can only be used for transportation. Within the three-month protection period, guilds like Angel Faction would not dare to attack their giant bats, but after the protection period, it would be a bit dangerous to use giant bats again.

"How much does a giant bat cost?" Guo Huai asked, he didn't know much about this market.

"About ten thousand gold coins, not very expensive."

"How many are you planning to buy?"

"It's definitely not enough if the number is too small. I estimate that at least six hundred giant bats will be enough to cope with the traffic in Okoron City," Nie Yan said.

"Six hundred?" Guo Huai gasped. It would cost six million gold coins to buy six hundred giant bats. This was too terrifying. "Can we earn back the six million gold coins we spend?"

"Giant bats must be equipped. We will establish a flying point in the cities of the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire closest to the Abernathy Grassland, with Okoron City as a transit station. A giant bat can only run about five trips to the Greenland Empire or the Satreen Empire every day, and the daily transportation volume is only three thousand people, which is far from enough for a city. We will only buy six hundred giant bats for the time being, and we will continue to supplement them in the future. Although we can't earn back the money by relying on the flying point, if Okoron City prospers, our income will be far more than that."

"Okay, I'm convinced," Guo Huai said. Although he felt sorry for the six million gold coins, he thought that the Niu Ren Tribe was not short of that much money now, and Nie Yan's Starry Night Potion Shop would earn it back in one day.

Giant bats were only a temporary measure. Within three months, he still had to get more attack-type flying mounts as much as possible, otherwise, guilds like Angel Faction would definitely intercept the Niu Ren Tribe from the air, Nie Yan thought. He would go to the Gryphon Lair a few more times another day.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. After about five or six hours, Okoron City welcomed its first batch of NPCs to settle in. They were nomads from the nearby grasslands. Their lives were very difficult, so they came in to take a look.

Although they were not warriors, but just ordinary residents, it was a good sign for Nie Yan.

Nie Yan provided them with some food purchased from the Greenland Empire NPC store, and then arranged jobs for them, so that they could settle down in Okoron City.

"Respected Prophet Nirvana, thank you for your kindness, for giving us a place to live," an NPC elder with white hair and beard kowtowed on the ground, gratefully.

"Respected elder, please stand up quickly. In Okoron, you don't have to use such etiquette."

The entry of NPCs could make Okoron City richer.

From the mouths of these NPCs, Nie Yan got some messy news. The Correns tribe of humans and the Sordan tribe of orcs in the northern Abernathy Grassland had a war over territory, and some refugees were pouring towards this side. On a grassland about ten minutes away from Okoron, a terrible ape king appeared. It came down from the Morocco Mountains. It was a level 180 Lord and had already slaughtered two small nomadic tribes.

So on and so forth. With the arrival of these NPCs, Nie Yan's information became more well-informed. Because Nie Yan was very approachable and treated these NPCs well, he was quickly embraced by these NPCs.

The players of the Niu Ren Tribe purchased giant bats from major cities, and then landed in Okoron City carrying large bags of food.

Nie Yan was preparing to absorb more NPCs.

"A level 180 Lord, if he continues to come this way, he will threaten our city. Are you interested in taking a trip together?" Nie Yan looked at Brilliant Knife Light and others and asked. He hadn't teamed up with Brilliant Knife Light and others to kill monsters for a long time.

"No problem, you arrange it," Brilliant Knife Light said.

As soon as they heard that Nie Yan was going to lead a team to kill a Lord, everyone became excited, and the target was a level 180 Lord, which was still a bit difficult.

Nie Yan began to arrange things. Ordinary players were not qualified to deal with a level 180 Lord, because they could not cause damage to a level 180 Lord at all, so only top professional players were qualified to go.

"Is it just the 12 of us?" Desire Touches Youth asked.

"Everyone else can't go. It should be okay for the 12 of us plus Yarop. If it doesn't work, we will retreat," Nie Yan said. It didn't matter if they went to take a look first. Xie Yao, Lei Su and others were rushing here from all over. They didn't care about the teleportation fees, so it was relatively convenient to come to Okoron City.

While everyone was discussing, Immortal Undead hurriedly sent a message to Nie Yan, saying, "Boss, I heard from Desire that you are going to team up to kill a Lord, add me."

"Have you been promoted to Archmage?" Nie Yan was slightly taken aback when he saw the message from Immortal Undead.

"Just came out of the class transfer mission map," Immortal Undead said with a smile.

"Good, very good," Nie Yan said with joy. Before, many top players of the Niu Ren Tribe had failed their class transfer, so Nie Yan was really surprised that Immortal Undead could successfully transfer classes. With Immortal Undead, the Niu Ren Tribe already had thirteen top professional players.

After such a long time, three more top professions had appeared in the Greenland Empire and the Satreen Empire, but they were all solo players, and Nie Yan didn't know where they came from. It was said that guilds like Angel Faction and Godsfall had tried to find them, but they couldn't find them. Although there were some more top professions outside, they still couldn't threaten the Niu Ren Tribe. Now that there was another Immortal Undead, they had four Archmages.

With the addition of another Archmage to the team, they had a better chance of dealing with that ape king.

Nie Yan and others gathered in Okoron City. After a while, Immortal Undead was the last to appear, looking a little out of breath.

Desire Touches Youth walked over and patted Immortal Undead on the shoulder, and said, "Why are you so late? Everyone has been waiting for five or six minutes."

"I fiddled with my equipment before I came, and added some gems to a few pieces of equipment, so I was late, sorry, sorry," Immortal Undead said apologetically with a smile. He understood that every minute of the twelve people here was very precious.

Nie Yan looked at Immortal Undead. Many of the equipment on this guy's body had been replaced. He was wearing a silver-gray mage robe with a golden eagle pattern embroidered on the chest. The magic fluctuations coming from the mage robe could be felt. It was a legendary piece of equipment. Nie Yan had seen many pictures of legendary equipment before, but he had never seen such a mage robe.

"How was your harvest during the class transfer mission?" Nie Yan smiled and said.

"This mage robe was obtained in the class transfer mission map, the Mannix Golden Eagle Robe, a legendary upgradable equipment," Immortal Undead said very excitedly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this equipment.

Mannix Golden Eagle Robe? Nie Yan frowned. He suddenly remembered who Mannix was. More than two hundred years ago, Mannix and twelve powerful archmages formed the Golden Eagle Organization, which could be said to be very powerful in the Greenland Empire. Due to his outstanding magical talent, he was known as a magical genius, but he was later assassinated by the people of the Undead Empire. However, Mannix's strength was beyond doubt, and the equipment he left behind was naturally extraordinary.

"Not bad, it's a good thing," Nie Yan nodded with a smile.
