The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 244: I’m Embarrassed to Call You Out

Just then, more and more players walked in.

With smiles on their faces, they quickly occupied all the windows.

The players who arrived later had to line up.

Thus, the Iron Black Pot, still pretending to calculate Silver Coins, immediately drew dissatisfaction from other players, "Hey, Brother Guo, I've been watching you for a while. You've counted that bag of Silver Coins three times already. Don't overdo it, huh."

A player immediately added, "Isn't it possible that before you got in line behind him, he'd already counted it a bunch of times?"

"Probably more than three times, I was too embarrassed to expose what he's up to."

"Cough cough." Iron Black Pot smiled awkwardly, cleared his throat slightly, and then stood up and reluctantly walked away.

After leaving the bank, he glanced at the two beautiful Merfolk at the bank entrance, then rolled his eyes and headed towards the Array of the Sound of the Cyan Wood.

He planned to exchange his remaining Silver Coins for another Silver Token and experience the currency exchange service of the Merfolk ladies.

...

After the bank establishment officially opened, it ushered in a wave of exchange frenzy.

Compared to virtual currency transactions, players preferred this tangible currency.

This gave players a sense of reality and achievement because the money earned before was completely invisible and untouchable.

And now, all that money has turned into visible and tangible Gold Coins and Silver Coins, which are quite attractive.

With these Silver Coins and Gold Coins in their pockets, they felt like they genuinely had wealth.

This motivated players to work harder, as they all set themselves small goals to save up a hundred Silver Coins, exchange them for a Silver Token, and experience the Merfolk ladies' exchange service.

And Lord Fang Ka, seeing all this, couldn't help but feel satisfied as it seemed to have achieved the initial goal.

He then turned his attention to the Underground City.

No need to consider Kain Island for now, as it's the birthplace and gathering place for newbie players.

Currently, the various income streams on Kain Island, though Fang Ka had started to intentionally improve them, players still didn't have high-income sources.

Fang Ka planned to wait until the Magic Potion Planting Base on the Merfolk Islands matured completely, then thoroughly increase the income for newbie players on Kain Island.

Because that way, there's no worry about newbie players developing too fast, leading to a shortage of Enhancing Potions.

But currently, the Magic Potion Planting Base on the Merfolk Islands is just getting started, with not even the first wave of Magic Potions planted yet, so there's no rush for now.

Next up is the Underground City.

The Underground City has a Magic Crystal Vein, which is a stable source of high income.

So Fang Ka felt it was necessary to establish a bank there too, as a branch of the main bank, allowing players staying in the Underground City to exchange Gold Coins and Silver Coins, gaining tangible currency.

Otherwise, if only the Merfolk Islands have bank institutions, it would act like a funnel, attracting all the High Tier players from the Underground City to the Merfolk Islands.

Fang Ka temporarily did not want this to happen.

Moreover, since it's a bank institution, it will eventually need to be distributed in all territories under his control.

It obviously can't exist in only one place.

Therefore, establishing a bank in the Underground City is very necessary.

As for the currency source for the Underground City's bank, it can be transported from the Merfolk Islands.

The transportation is simple; just assign a transport task to players who can fly, asking them to move boxes loaded with Gold Coins and Silver Coins to the bank in the Underground City.

Once he issues this task, he can command the players with a Soul Contract not to touch these transported Gold Coins and Silver Coins.

The players will simply think it's a system restriction, which seems very reasonable.

Since the implementation on the Merfolk Islands has already proved to be very popular with players, Fang Ka decided not to continue observing.

So, he immediately used the Array of the Sound of Cyan Wood to contact Tina in the Underground City.

Upon receiving Fang Ka's message, Tina promptly and respectfully asked, "Lord Fang Ka, may I know why you seek me?"

Fang Ka immediately responded, "It's like this: I've established a bank on the Merfolk Islands, and I plan to establish one here in the Underground City as well, as a branch of the bank there."

Upon hearing this, Tina was taken aback.

Taking a moment to process, she finally asked with curiosity, "A bank?"

She couldn't quite understand why Fang Ka wanted to establish a bank.

Fang Ka immediately explained what he had told Sadek before, though using different wording, to Tina.

After speaking, Fang Ka continued, "You don't need to ask further, just follow my instructions."

Upon hearing this, Tina didn't press further and promptly replied, "Okay, Mage Fang Ka, rest assured, I will arrange everything satisfactorily."

Fang Ka nodded slightly, continuing, "Then here's what we do: before noon today, choose a location for establishing the bank."

"Prepare the building materials accordingly, and I will dispatch my subordinates to handle the construction. Is there any problem?"

Upon hearing Fang Ka's words, Tina hesitated briefly before asking, "Lord Fang Ka, regarding the location choice for the bank, do you prefer the first underground level? Or the second? Or perhaps the third underground level?"

"I hope you can provide some guidance."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka immediately replied, "Let's go with the second underground level."

The bank's main purpose is to serve the players.

Players primarily work on the third underground level, which is filled with factories crafted by goblins, making it unsuitable for a bank.

The second underground level is a good choice.

Moreover, once the bank is constructed, the land on the second underground level might appreciate in value.

As for why not the first underground level, it's simple.

Though the buildings on the first underground level aren't precisely exquisite, they're still quite decent.

Establishing on the first underground level requires demolishing existing structures to clear a space.

Fang Ka feels this isn't ideal, as it's somewhat wasteful.

Moreover, the first underground level is occupied entirely by the original slaves of the Underground City.

If the bank is established on the first underground level, players frequenting the bank would constantly disturb those slaves.

Thus, the second underground level is the best choice.
