Chapter 725: Taihao Town
Ying Wenzheng spoke up: "There are three conditions for establishing a town. The third condition we can fulfill ourselves. As for territory, if we don't ask for much, there are some remote unclaimed islands available. But how do we assess combat power?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian said, "Let me give it a try!"
He clicked on the town chief application prompt.
The token emitted a ray of light that enveloped him.
Then a prompt appeared.
[Combat power requirement met. You are now a candidate town chief. Please confirm your territory and military forces.]
Seeing this, Zhan Tian smiled. "I meet the town chief requirements. Accept my military invitation!"
Zhan Tian sent the two of them an invitation to join the temporary town's military.
Both readily agreed.
Thus, two of the three conditions were now satisfied."Next is to determine the territory for the town!"
Zhan Tian looked toward the distant Chaos Island. "That place is quite remote, in an unclaimed area with no resources. Why don't we set up the town there?"
"No problem!"
Neither Ying Wenzheng nor Xie Tingfeng had any objections.
So the three people and one eagle left the current town and headed toward the inconspicuous island in the distance.
Some people in the town noticed their departure, glanced at them briefly, and when they saw them traveling farther and farther away, they paid no further attention.
Zhan Tian and the others arrived at a very small Chaos Island.
Then Zhan Tian summoned his token and shot a beam of light that enveloped the entire island.
[Confirm setting the current territory as town territory?]
"Confirm!" Zhan Tian affirmed.
The next moment, a mark belonging to the Chaos Alliance materialized in the center of the territory, condensing into a small town seal.
Zhan Tian grasped the seal, and at that moment, he became a town chief.
[Ding, congratulations, Chief Zhan Tian! You have successfully established a small town. Please name your town!]
Zhan Tian looked at the two and asked, "Any ideas for the town name?"
"Just call it Zhan Tian Town!" Xie Tingfeng said casually.
Ying Wenzheng nodded. "Good idea."
"Forget it, let's call it Taihao Town!" Zhan Tian declared.
"That works too."
[Ding, Taihao Town has been confirmed. It will soon appear on the Chaos Alliance territorial map!]
Zhan Tian immediately saw a map interface. Within the vast First Frontline, only one small town had been established so far—his Taihao Town!
The tiny town was just a minuscule glowing dot on the map, yet it was extremely eye-catching.
[Ding, congratulations on successfully establishing a town! Reward: 10,000 mixed-void units!]
[Ding, as town chief, you may receive an annual salary of 0.0001 mixed-void units.]
Zhan Tian immediately noticed that his Merit Points had suddenly increased by 10,000 mixed-void units. This was a huge sum—enough to buy even ten Void Mixed Spirit Pills. The reward was certainly not small.
At the same time, Zhan Tian also activated the mission interface.
[Mission]: Upgrade to county seat!
[Requirements]: Combat power increased to 85th rank, population increased to 10,000, military force reaching 1,000.
[Reward]: 100 million mixed-void units, county magistrate authority, special discounts.
Zhan Tian also checked other missions. For example, increasing the population by one rewarded 10 mixed-void units, repeatable indefinitely. This mission had already been completed three times, so he could claim 30 mixed-void units directly.
Similarly, killing Nothingness Monsters or hostile cultivators would earn Merit Points. If townsfolk did the killing, not only would they earn Merit Points themselves, but the town chief would also receive Merit Points simultaneously.
The town chief had extremely high authority. Up to three deputy town leaders could be appointed below them, and they also enjoyed many benefits.
Zhan Tian promptly appointed Ying Wenzheng and Xie Tingfeng as deputy town leaders.
"Now, how do we develop the town?" Zhan Tian looked at the two.
Ying Wenzheng mused, "The town appears on the Alliance's map. Nearby Alliance members might come when they see it. Alternatively, we could take the initiative to attract people to settle here. That neighboring Redleaf Town is a good source of population."
Zhan Tian was surprised. "Redleaf Town? That's an established town. How could we attract them to come and settle here permanently?"
"It's simple—resources!" Xie Tingfeng laughed. "Our biggest advantage isn't the resources within our territory, but the Alliance's Merit Points Mall!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Tian nodded in realization. "You mean the discount? I can buy items at a 10% discount and resell them!"
Ying Wenzheng nodded. "We can go the commercial route. The Merit Points Malls can exchange goods with each other. Aside from a small handling fee, compared to the transportation costs others incur, it's practically negligible."
As the three talked, they also determined the town's future development path.
After the conversation, Zhan Tian opened the map again and saw that dozens of town markers had already appeared within the entire First Frontline. In such a short time, others had established towns as well.
These towns must have specialty products in their vicinity, and trade channels could be established between them.
Zhan Tian had just checked, and the transaction fees between towns also enjoyed the town chief's discount, being 10% lower than the normal fee.
It was easy to foresee a bright future.
Time passed, and a year went by.
On this Chaos Island, Zhan Tian and the other two had built a simple cluster of structures, including a basic array barrier.
It was more like a rural mountain village than a town.
One day, a small team from Redleaf Town happened to pass by here.
The five-person team was an exploration squad, specifically going to the nearby mountain ranges to train and search for treasures. They usually passed by this island without stopping.
But this time, the five of them saw the cluster of buildings and immediately halted.
"Oh? When did some buildings appear here?" a Chaos Dominator asked curiously.
Seeing this, the team leader waved his hand. "Come on, let's go check it out!"
The five approached Taihao Town and saw a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Taihao Town."
The five exchanged glances, all wearing expressions that were a mix of amusement and disbelief.
"There's actually a town here?"
"In such a desolate place—no mineral deposits, low origin concentration—isn't building a town here a joke?"
The team leader said, "Let's go inside and take a look!"
The five cautiously entered the town and easily spotted a shop that was open for business.
The team leader walked in with surprise and saw a wide variety of items on display, an extremely rich assortment.
Xie Tingfeng stepped forward. "Welcome, honored guests, to Taihao Town's Taihao Department Store. Everything here is very cheap. Whatever you need, you can find it here!"
The team leader casually asked, "Do you have rank 74 Return Origin Pills?"
"Yes, one bottle of six pills, just 10 mixed-void units."
Xie Tingfeng said with a smile.
"Mixed-void units?"
"One mixed-void unit equals 1,000 trillion kalpa units!" Xie Tingfeng explained.
"Oh? Your prices are quite cheap!" The team leader immediately looked surprised.
One of the teammates beside him remarked, "In our town, one pill costs two mixed-void units. This price is much cheaper."
