As soon as Shifeng returned to White River City, he discovered that the number of Guild members teleporting to White River City had increased.
At a glance, these Guild members all had extraordinary levels. They were all Level 39 at the very least, and the team leaders were all Level 40 experts at the very least.
This situation confused Shifeng. However, Shifeng did not think too much about it. Right now, recruiting NPC managers was the most important matter. To avoid attracting attention, he immediately boarded an advanced carriage and headed to the Adventurer's Association.
Shortly after Shi Feng left, a 20-man team appeared in the Teleportation Hall. Every member of this 20-man team wore a blood-red flame emblem. Moreover, these players were all Level 40, and every one of them radiated the glow effect unique to Dark-Gold Equipment. They had no intention of hiding their strength.
Among these players, a white-haired man was even a Level 41 Guardian Knight. He carried a diamond-shaped shield on his back, and a blood-red longsword was sheathed within the shield. This longsword was clearly a one-handed sword. The sword's hilt was wider than a player's shoulder, and its length was comparable to a two-handed greatsword. It was nearly as tall as a person.
From a distance, this white-haired man looked as if he carried a blood-red cross on his back. He was exceptionally eye-catching as he stood in the Teleportation Hall.
Although this team was exceptionally eye-catching, everyone who saw this team would unconsciously shift their gazes away, not daring to look at them for too long.
This was because these people belonged to Crimson Emperor, a veteran first-rate Guild in the Dark Night Empire. It was also the Dark Night Empire's overlord. In the Dark Night Empire, not a single Guild dared to make an enemy out of Crimson Emperor.
The Guardian Knight leading this team was even more amazing. He was one of the top five Guardian Knights in Crimson Emperor. He was also known as the Iron Wall Giant. He was a veteran who had witnessed Crimson Emperor's growth into a first-rate Guild.
"Uncle Cuttlefish, we were raiding a large-scale Hell Mode Team Dungeon. Why did you suddenly summon us here?" a middle-aged man asked as he looked at the leading Guardian Knight, Cuttlefish.
"I just received instructions from the Guild. I heard that an ancient ruin has been discovered in the Twin Towers Kingdom. Now that the various large Guilds have received the news, they have already sent their members over. Naturally, Crimson Emperor cannot miss this opportunity." Although Cuttlefish was an old man in his sixties, his tone was filled with vigor. He sounded like a young man.
"Ancient ruin?" "Could there be something special about that ruin? Why would they need us, the main force members, to take action?" the graceful female Elementalist asked curiously.
"That's right. The ancient ruin is like a maze. It is extremely large, and only 20-man teams are allowed to enter. Once a team enters, they will be teleported to an area. The monsters they kill inside will obtain a type of tablet fragment. As long as you collect a set of tablet fragments, you can exchange them for a Mount inside the maze. Among the known Mounts available for exchange, there are Mysterious-Iron Mounts. Moreover, this is only the outer region. Right now, the various large Guilds are going crazy over these Mounts. However, it is extremely difficult to enter the various ancient ruins. The requirements for individual strength are extremely high. To maximize efficiency, the Guild Leader has sent us to explore the ruins first," Cuttlefish explained.
When the rest of the team heard this, their jaws dropped.
Needless to say, Mounts were extremely important to a Guild. Just the number of Bronze Mounts the Guild obtained was not enough to split among the Guild's experts, not to mention Mysterious-Iron Mounts. Now, however, they could obtain Mysterious-Iron Mounts in the outer region. How could the Guild's upper echelons not go crazy over this?
"However, before we head to the ancient ruin, we need to establish a foothold in White River City. Poison, when the time comes, I'll have you head to Ling Yi's Residence to discuss the matter. According to our investigations, Ling Yi Society has purchased several plots of Land near the teleportation house. Crimson Emperor will be purchasing one. Everyone else, purchase some potions and scrolls," Cuttlefish instructed his team members.
"Uncle Cuttlefish, it is just a newly established Guild. Is there a need for Poison to make a trip there? We are Crimson Emperor. If we want to purchase a plot of Land, won't we be able to do so with a single word? "a Level 40 Assassin asked in annoyance.
Crimson Emperor was a veteran first-rate Guild. Everyone in the virtual gaming world knew about it. The Guilds in the Dark Night Empire trembled with fear. Yet, Cuttlefish was actually sending Crimson Emperor's main force members to purchase a plot of Land. He was simply making a mountain out of a molehill.
"If it really was a simple matter, I wouldn't have sent Poison," Cuttlefish said bitterly. Smiling bitterly, Cuttlefish said, "Alright, Poison. Remember to pay attention to your attitude when you talk to them. If you can't buy it, there's no need to force it. God's Domain is different from any other virtual reality game. I'm sure you've all sensed that the waters are very deep. Naturally, Zero Wing has its reasons for becoming Star-Moon Kingdom's number one Guild."
The female Elementalist named Poison nodded silently. Inwardly, she more or less believed that Cuttlefish was trying to boost others' morale.
…
In front of the Adventurer's Association, Shifeng immediately called out his Spirit Slayer title and walked up to the receptionist. Upon seeing this, the blonde receptionist became incomparably respectful, her gaze filled with deep admiration as she looked at the Shifeng.
"Lord Spirit Slayer, how may I be of service?" the NP receptionist respectfully asked.
"I wish to recruit some Shop Senior Managers," Shifeng said.
"Very well. My lord, please head to the VIP room on the second floor and wait for a moment. We will immediately send over the information," the NP receptionist bowed slightly. She then led Shifeng to the second floor.
This scene stupefied the players who had come to accept the quest.
"Who is that person? He's so amazing! He actually got the receptionist to lead the way! Even a Viscount doesn't get to enjoy such treatment! "
"That person is definitely a top-tier expert. It would be great if I could get to know him."
The players in the hall were envious as they watched Shifeng walk up the stairs.
When Shifeng arrived at the VIP room on the second floor, the NP receptionist quickly handed over a set of information to Shifeng.
Four-star treatment really is amazing! Shifeng was shocked when he saw the first page of the information.
In God's Domain, there were both high and low NPCs. Their intellect also varied greatly. The higher the intellect of an NP manager, the more effective they would be in management. Some NPCs were even better than players with relatively good management capabilities.
Take Anna for example. Her intellect was ridiculously high. She could easily manage the Starstreak Trading Firm in an orderly manner. However, a manager of this caliber could only be found by chance. Shi Feng would only encounter such a manager due to quests.
Generally speaking, a manager with an Intelligence of 50 points or more was considered quite good. An NP with an Intelligence of 60 points was already quite extraordinary. Only Tier 2 Mages had an Intelligence of 70 points.
In the past, among the managers Shifeng had met, the highest Intelligence had only been 73 points. Moreover, that NP had been an elderly man. Back then, he had been overjoyed. Just this elderly man alone had been able to manage an entire Auction House in an orderly manner.
Now, when he looked at the information on the first page, out of the 30 NPCs, over ten had an Intelligence of 60 points or more. One of them had even reached 71 points. Moreover, this was only the first page. There were over a hundred pages of information on him.
