The sudden system notification stunned the Shifeng for a long time.
Just by reconstructing an Intermediate Town, the Guild's Guild Popularity had soared by 200,000 points …
It should be known that a 1-star Guild's promotion to a 2-star Guild only required 30,000 Popularity, while a 2-star Guild's promotion to a 3-star Guild required 100,000 Popularity.
The higher a guild's Popularity was, the slower it would be to earn it.
When a Guild was still a 1-star Guild, as long as the Guild members completed the Guild's normal quests, they would have a high chance of gaining Guild Popularity. With the number of members in the various large Guilds, the number of Guild Quests they completed every day was extremely high. Hence, it would not take long for them to accumulate 30,000 Guild Popularity. The most difficult part about becoming a 2-star Guild was the Guild Promotion Order.
However, after a Guild reached 2-star, its members would not gain Guild Popularity from completing the Guild's Basic Quests. They would only gain Guild Popularity if they completed high-ranking Quests. However, high-ranking Quests were extremely rare. Hence, it was extremely difficult for a 2-star Guild to reach 100,000 Guild Popularity.
Even Super Guilds would need a considerable amount of time to do so.
Due to various reasons, Ling YI Society's speed of accumulating Guild Popularity was in no way inferior to that of Super Guilds. According to Shifeng's estimates, it would take another month or so for Ling YI Society to accumulate Guild Popularity.
Now that Zero Wing's Popularity had increased by 200,000, it had fulfilled the 100,000 Popularity requirement to become a 3-star Guild.
"A Bronze Guild Promotion Order?" Shifeng looked at the bronze diamond-shaped token that had suddenly appeared in his bag. The token was emitting a faint golden glow. It was of a much higher grade than the Silver Guild Residence Promotion Order he had obtained previously.
[Bronze Guild Promotion Order] When the required Popularity is met, the Guild can be promoted to a 4-star Guild.
"What an amazing Guild Promotion Order!" Shifeng exclaimed.
As far as Shifeng knew, Guild Promotion Orders were categorized into different ranks. Different Guild Promotion Orders could be used to promote a Guild to a different star rank. For example, a 1-star Guild needed a 2-star Guild Promotion Order to become a 2-star Guild, while a 3-star Guild needed a 3-star Guild Promotion Order. However, a Bronze Guild Promotion Order could allow a 1-star Guild to become a 2-star Guild by one rank.
Looking at the Bronze Guild Promotion Order, the Shifeng were thinking of using it when their Guild was promoted from 3-star to 4-star.
In God's Domain, the Guild Promotion Order was not easy to obtain. Aside from a very small number of Guild Promotion Orders that could be obtained from adventuring in the fields or opening Treasure Chests, the Promotion Order could only be obtained by obtaining the First Clear of a certain large-scale Team Dungeon. Afterward, the chances of a Guild obtaining the Promotion Order from that Dungeon were less than 1% …
This was also one of the reasons why the various large Guilds were so determined to compete for the First Clear of large-scale Team Dungeons.
Aside from increasing a Guild's Influence and Popularity, obtaining the First Clear could also increase the Guild's star-rating. If other Guilds obtained the First Clear, it would be much more difficult to obtain the First Clear.
This was especially true for the 3-star Guild Promotion Order.
To obtain the First Clear of a Level 50 Hell Mode large-scale Team Dungeon, one would need to obtain the First Clear of a Level 50 Hell Mode large-scale Team Dungeon. Moreover, a Level 50 large-scale Team Dungeon was different from a 2-star Guild Promotion Order. Every major city had one. After reaching 3-star, only a dozen or so cities in the vicinity would have such a Dungeon. If a Guild obtained the First Clear of a Hell Mode large-scale Team Dungeon, the neighboring cities would have no choice but to raid that Dungeon …
Hence, the 3-star Guild Promotion Order caused the competition between Guilds to become even more intense. The competition between Guilds had also extended to the competition between cities. It was no longer just a competition between Guilds within a city.
As for the 4-star Guild Promotion Order, it was even more frightening. A kingdom would only have one or two large-scale Team Dungeons that dropped it. Empires might have slightly more, but even so, it was still very limited.
"Hello, I wish to promote the Ling YI Society!" After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng took out the Bronze Guild Promotion Order and handed it to the association administrator.
The reason why Guilds were called Guilds was because Guilds possessed benefits that independent players envied. These benefits allowed Guild members to level up and increase their strength more easily. Hence, the faster a Guild could be promoted, the better.
"Lord Protector, may I know which Guild Residence you wish to promote to a 3-star Residence?" the association administrator asked after receiving the Promotion Order.
"White River City's Guild Residence!" Shifeng replied straightforwardly.
White River City was the Ling YI Society's main headquarters. It was extremely safe in a major NPC city. Moreover, it would not be long before White River City would be promoted to a 3-star Guild Residence as well. As for Stone Forest Town, Lake Heart City, and other places, they would have to wait. "Alright.
However, to promote a 2-star Guild Residence to a 3-star Guild Residence, you'll need a 5,000-gold modification fee, "the association administrator said. "As Lord Protector, the association can give you a 20% discount. You only need to pay 4,000 Gold."
Without hesitation, Shifeng handed over another 4,000 Gold.
After the tall and handsome association administrator confirmed the price, a series of system announcements suddenly rang out in Shifeng's ears.
Starmoon Kingdom Region Announcement: Congratulations to Ling YI Society for becoming the first to own a 3-star Guild Residence. Rewarding Guild Emblem upgraded to Bronze rank, one set of Basic Guild Defensive Magic Array, 1,500 Gold in Guild Funds, and one Guild Employment Center Construction Order.
White River City Region Announcement: Congratulations to Ling YI Society for becoming the first to own a 3-star Guild Residence. Rewarding Guild Training Room Promotion Order.
The system announcements rang out three times, echoing in everyone's ears.
"What's going on?"
"A 3-star Residence?"
"That's impossible, right? Many Guilds have only just gotten promoted to 2-star Residences. How did Ling YI Society get promoted to a 3-star Residence?"
"Ling Yi is too amazing! As expected of Starmoon Kingdom's number one Guild! The benefits of a 3-star Guild are simply too awesome!"
…
Every player in Starmoon Kingdom was shocked by the system announcement. It was especially true for the members of the various large Guilds. They were so envious of the Ling YI Society that they nearly died.
The Guild Emblem had been upgraded to Bronze rank!
A Guild Emblem was not just a symbol of a Guild. At the same time, it was like the emblem of a Lifestyle class. It possessed some functions. Only, a normal Guild Emblem did not possess any functions. However, once a Guild Emblem reached Bronze rank, it would possess some functions.
A Bronze Guild Emblem possessed two functions.
The first function was the teleportation function. Even without a Guild Transfer Scroll, one could teleport directly to any Guild Residence. There was no need to purchase a Guild Transfer Scroll from a Guild Residence. Moreover, only one scroll could be purchased at a time, which was extremely inconvenient.
The second function was the Attributes increase of Guild members. As long as there were more than 20 Guild members within a 100-yard radius, the Guild members wearing the Guild Emblem would have their maximum HP increased by 3% and their Attack Power increased by 1%. This could be said to be the greatest benefit a Guild member could receive.
Although the increase to HP and Attack Power might not be significant, once a player's Attributes reached a certain level, even a 1% increase would be a significant increase. This would be a huge advantage when raiding Team Dungeons.
Less than a minute after the system announcement ended, news of Ling YI Society's promotion to a 3-star Guild spread like wildfire. In less than ten minutes, both the Starmoon Kingdom and the Guilds in the neighboring kingdoms and empires held an emergency Guild Meeting.
Meanwhile, the various large Guilds that were exchanging rare items in the Dark Auction also received a notification.
