As the system notification appeared, Shi Feng stood on the airfield's flight platform watching the NPCs begin their work. He then pulled up the airfield's system control panel and clicked to open the airfield.
Instantly, the pitch-black magic barrier that had shrouded the entire airfield shattered into countless fragments. An enormous airport—over a hundred meters tall and covering an area the size of a fifty-thousand-seat stadium—revealed itself before everyone.
On the top-level flight platform, six airships hovered in the air, parked quietly beside their docking berths. In an instant, the airport became the most iconic landmark in Silver Wing Town.
"Holy crap! Are those airships?!"
"No way! How does Silver Wing Town have airships? Those are only supposed to exist in promoted NPC cities!"
"What's going on? Did Zero Wing Guild build an airport in Silver Wing Town?"
...
The airport's appearance sent shockwaves through every player in Silver Wing Town. Not that it would have been easy to miss—the six airships hovering in midair were far too conspicuous. One only had to look up anywhere in town to see them, especially the medium-sized airship, which was no smaller than a large passenger plane, practically resembling an aerial warship…
Just as the crowd was whispering among themselves, a system announcement suddenly blared.
Beastman Empire Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Silver Wing Town for establishing the Beastman Empire's first airport! Silver Wing Town's fame has increased by 30,000 points. Silver Wing Town has obtained a City Transit Permit.
The system repeated the announcement three times. The players in Silver Wing Town who had been skeptical were now fully convinced—Silver Wing Town had really built an airport.
"You've got to be kidding me! This is an airport, and Zero Wing actually just built one?"
"If Silver Wing Town has an airport, doesn't that mean we won't have to run all the way here anymore? We can just take an airship directly?"
"Obviously! What else would an airport be for? I just wonder which NPC city we can fly in from."
The players in town couldn't contain their excitement.
They might not know exactly what the airport could do, but they knew one thing—its appearance would make life dramatically easier for free players like them. No more tedious trekking; they could simply board an airship at an NPC city and fly straight to Silver Wing Town in the Beastman Empire. Just thinking about it was enough to make them giddy.
This news also caught the attention of players leveling in the Beastman Empire.
They had long despised the grueling travel, especially in the dangerous neutral territory of the Beastman Empire. Being able to fly directly here by airship was like a dream come true. And with such convenience, they could travel back and forth regularly—after all, repairing equipment in the Beastman Empire was absurdly expensive.
Meanwhile, in a rocky hillside not far from Silver Wing Town, a large group of dark players were locked in combat with Zero Wing Guild members. The system announcement stunned them all.
"Shuise, the guild master is incredible—she even managed to get an airport built! Now it'll be so much easier for us in the Beastman Empire. With the airport, all those players who couldn't be bothered to come here before can now fly directly to Silver Wing Town on an airship. With so many players around, those dark players won't be able to move freely near Silver Wing Town anymore. And with so many free players, the Black Water Guild won't be able to blockade Silver Wing Town either!" Banjiu exclaimed excitedly as the dark players who had been closing in suddenly froze in their tracks.
As the dark players grew increasingly brazen, appearing more and more often in the surrounding areas of Silver Wing Town, even their main raid team had been forced to take action.
