Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 922: Automatic Payment

Both Gentle Wind and Iceheart were rendered speechless by the way Xu Feng operated.

Who the hell would encourage and even advise them that they were allowed to cheat others?

Despite being informed they were allowed, Gentle Wind actually held such an intention, to begin with. Besides being an ally of Xu Fengʼs guild, she naturally had her own connection channel as well.

The same applied to Iceheart, who could easily capitalize on their authority and position further from their other allied guilds.

”I take it that there is no more question regarding the town tokens, right?” Xu Feng asked to confirm that everything was alright. He was a busy man, so there was no way he would be handing over town tokens to every member.

This kind of duty could easily be left for Tracy who was now in charge of the Town Hallʼs Administration.

Although Tracy was an NPC, she was definitely more competent and trustworthy than most players in Xu Fengʼs eyes.

Since nobody raised any opinion after a few seconds, Xu Feng activated his town token and teleported away.

The action was soon followed by Veronica and Carmen.

Gentle Wind hesitated only for a second before activating her town token. Of course, it wasnʼt extremely fast because there was a system prompt asking her to pay the fee.

To make things more convenient, there was also an empty box that could be checkmarked which would enable her to automatically pay the next time she was to activate the town token.

ʼThis Lin Feng really knows how to make money.ʼ Gentle Wind twitched her mouth and checkmarked it for automatic payment.

There wouldnʼt be any accidental activation for the town token unless one was too distracted or just plain dumb in general.

In addition, not checking the box for automatic payment, meant a constant delay depending on how fast one could do the payment.

And if they were in a sticky situation such as being chased by monsters or players, that delay of a moment could mean life and death.

After paying the fee, Gentle Wind vanished from the tavern.

Iceheart, on the other hand, took a little while because she needed a subordinate of hers to transfer some money to her.

”Iʼll pay you back double when we return to the guild.” Iceheart glanced at Flame Bird and said.

”T-Thereʼs no need to repay me,” Flame Bird trembled slightly and quickly rejected the notion. She had realized that her words from earlier had embarrassed her Guild Commander. It was already decent enough that Iceheart didnʼt fault her.

How could she possibly dare to receive a repayment?

It was the equivalent of a regular employee trying to get the money owed by the higher-ups.

”You either take the repayment or you can be sent to do many extreme tasks for the guild. Make your choice.”

”I will gladly receive the repayment twofold.”

Flame Birdʼs expression turned solemn as she absolutely refused to undergo the extreme tasks that Iceheart talked about. The extreme tasks were dedicated to only the elitists of the elite in the Phoenix Guild.

When it first started, many believed they were capable and could handle the challenges.

However, not even half an hour later, many surrendered and begged to quit.

Since then, the Phoenix Guild made it a tradition to anyone who wanted to achieve a rank above Guild Captain must undergo extreme tasks. This included Iceheart, who had to participate in it to be promoted despite her contribution.

Of course, not many could persist, prompting them to be just regular ”elders” with the Guild Captain rank.

”Itʼs good that you decided fast.” Satisfied, Iceheart also checkmarked for automatic payment and vanished from the tavern.

The remaining members also followed and checkmarked the automatic payment. Not a single person opted out of checkmarking it.

Twilight Glades, Haven Wind Town

Streaks of lights flashed by in the Teleport Platform which was placed strategically in many vital businesses.

Vital businesses such as Adventure Association, Mercenary Association, Blacksmith, Auction House, etc.

Of course, the Adventure Association and Mercenary Association was currently inactive, as well as the Auction House. The town needed to reach certain criteria and standards to have them active.

The Adventure Association and Mercenary Association were relatively easy to obtain permission.

The problematic one was the Auction House. The process was complicated and expensive. It was expensive because of the share profit being 80-20.

The Auction House would take 80% of the commission, leaving only 20% to them. To make things even worse, most of the operation and cost required the town to cover.

Since they were now able to enter the town, Xu Feng had to explain to them that most of the vital businesses were yet to be activated.

”So they arenʼt active at all?” Gentle Wind raised an eyebrow and wondered how the town was going to generate revenue. It canʼt be that he was solely relying on the entrance fee, right?

”Yes and no.”

”What do you mean?”

”At the moment, only the blacksmith operated by our guild is active. But the Adventure and Mercenary Association isnʼt active yet. The town is still listed as private after all.”

Nodding, Gentle Wind understood that they were granted an early entry. A beta version or a sneak peek in advance was what it could be called for their situation.

”Then what about the Auction House?” Gentle Wind pointed at the grand building. Out of every building around the perimeter, only the Auction House was extremely grand and eye-catching.

”Oh, that, it would take a while to create a deal with the nobles from the Aetheria Empire. But fret not, we will launch the first auction of the town conducted by us when the town officially opens to the public.” Xu Feng explained.

When a town becomes public, it wouldnʼt just be players who would be attracted. Even NPCs, most notably merchant NPCs, who could sniff out a fortune from a long distance would come to check their town out.

ʼIf I can rope them in and establish a trade connection. Letʼs see if you people still dare to bargain with me for an 80-20 split profit.ʼ Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
