A city completely under their own control!
For Zero Wing, that was nothing less than a dream come true.
Shi Feng had once commanded Shadow Studio's ten great city-states, so he knew very well just how precious—and advantageous—it was to own a city.
Although Zero Wing was developing quite well now, its lack of a stable Credit Point income was a major weakness.
Other first- and second-rate guilds had wealthy corporations and financial groups backing them. These groups could continuously provide funds to the guilds, allowing them to develop steadily without worrying about Credit Points.
Although Shi Feng could obtain Gold Coins in God's Domain through many means, using Gold Coins to support a guild and help it establish deep roots was no easy task. Moreover, as the guild developed and its membership grew, its demand for Gold Coins would only increase. Exchanging massive amounts of Gold Coins for Credit Points was not a sustainable long-term strategy for a guild's development.
However, having their own city was an entirely different matter.
Why were so many financial groups willing to spend so many Credit Points investing in these guilds? Wasn't it to make money?
But how would they make money?
The answer was player-built autonomous cities.
As long as they had an autonomous city, they could attract investments in the real world, lease or sell shops, and earn vast amounts of Credit Points and Gold Coins, solving more than half of the guild's future development problems.

"Respected Lady Xia Lian, I accept your conditions," Shi Feng agreed after a brief silence.
"Good. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Since you have agreed, our contract
