After giving them brief instructions, Xu Feng finally arrived at the Teleport Platform.
Waiting on the lines designated for contestants, it was soon his turn, in which the guard asked for the destination. "Where do you wish to go?"
"Star Falls City." Xu Feng flatly responded.
Astonished, the guard took a quick glance at Xu Feng before explaining the circumstances. "If you wish to teleport there, then you'll need to wait unless you have so connection there."
Dumbfounded, Xu Feng wasn't surprised by the waiting ti in a specific city when they are overcrowded, but they were talking about Star Falls City here.
"Co again?" Xu Feng asked, wanting to confirm whether he had heard him wrong or if the guard had misheard the city he spoke of.
Not a bit surprised by the confusion, the guard respectfully replied, "The traffic to Star Falls City is extrely crowded at the mont. We received news that many people are rushing over there, and it's not a surprise, considering one of the contestants ranked number two hailed from there."
"You an the player Lin Feng?"
"Who else but him?"
"Well… I'm Lin Feng." Xu Feng smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, the guard twitched his brows and narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the young man in front of him. He then warned solemnly, "Young man, there have been many imposters lately stating they are—"
Before the guard could continue, Xu Feng showed his credentials with a deadpan expression.
What imposter?
Lin Feng itself was an alias or a ga userna, to begin with anyway.
"Ah, so it really is you." The guard started laughing awkwardly and quickly shifted his tone. "The teleportation will be ready for you, but I'll need to contact the guards at Star Falls City to let them know in advance."
Nodding his head, Xu Feng naturally understood that the teleporting procedure was quite tedious when the popularity of a city had soared imnsely.
Soti later, the guard returned and replied, "The teleport platform is ready for you."
"Thank you."
After entering the teleport, Xu Feng expected the mana concentration to be sluggish due to the difference between the cities.
However, to his surprise, he didn't have a sense of nausea or discomfort upon appearing on the teleport platform of Star Falls City.
'The mana concentration has been raised?' Astonished, he quickly glanced at his status screen. The buff wasn't as high as Paradise Plains, but with its current standard, it could be considered the average of what a normal city should be like.
While he was checking the new surroundings, he noticed there was indeed a swarm of people, NPCs, and players alike rushing out of the platform.
"Quickly, I've heard the Vanguard Hotel rooms are limited. If we're late, then we can only make do with Tavern."
"Damn, there's so many people. I don't even think the Tavern has rooms."
Once he got out of the platform, Xu Feng was nearly pushed aside multiple tis by players rushing ahead in hopes of getting a room in his hotel.
Not offended by their frantic behavior one bit, he continued to walk around the streets.
A smile started appearing on his face when he saw there were actually new NPC faces that had set up a stall, all shouting and happily trying to get custors to patronize their business.
The previous lifeless scenery was no more, replaced with a scenery full of vibrant life and a happy atmosphere.
"Now this is what I called a proper city to be like." He mumbled, gazing at the highest standing point of the city, which he had gone when unsealing the Mirage Pendant.
Despite its high vantage point, there were practically zero people when he went. However, it was currently crowded, and even from afar, he could spot nurous people enjoying the view with their companions.
At this mont, Xu Feng suddenly received a private ssage from Carn.
Lunar Wraith: Guild Leader, our city is currently trending in the ga forum. Almost all the players who had co over here because of your post to visit were astonished by the city's environnt.
Having finished reading it, Xu Feng felt sowhat proud of himself.
In his past tiline, the changes in the city were done by soone else, but in this tiline, he was the cause.
To be the pioneer in a figurative and literal term was not sothing everyone could copy.
Shortly after, he found a sowhat discreet place to put on his mask and went to the backdoor of the hotel.
As soon as he entered, he grabbed a nearby employee and told them to relay his appearance to Tracy.
Employee's Lounge
"You're finally back, Boss!" Tracy smiled excitedly upon seeing Xu Feng sitting on a couch.
"Hoh, what got our Tracy so excited?" Xu Feng mused upon seeing her losing her usual composure. In the anti, he was browsing the hotel record of getting overbooked despite the exorbitant fee.
"Our city has finally revitalized a bit, and our hotel is experiencing a boom in business." Tracy's smile was so warm and bright that it could easily lt one's heart from a single glance.
"Additionally, the revenue of the other Vanguard businesses had their value increased exponentially." She continued and showed Xu Feng the overall inco they had gained.
Still a bit amazed by her cheerfulness, Xu Feng glanced at the docunt without much thought until he saw the numbers.
'Holy macaroni!' Inwardly startled, Xu Feng was stupefied by the number.
"3000 gold coins?"
He gazed at Tracy with a disbelief expression. "How did we earn that many gold coins in a little bit over 2 days?" Find your next read at empire
No matter how popular Star Falls City had beco, Xu Feng refused to believe they would make so much money in such a short span of ti.
anwhile, Tracy held a confused look.
"Um Sir, it's been more than a month and not 2 days. Of course, the profit would add up." She responded very naturally.
"W-wait a minute… a month?" Xu Feng stood up and asked, "Are you saying I have been gone for a month?"
