The three SSS-rank quests were crucial to Starmoon Kingdom's development.
If Starmoon Kingdom became an empire, Ling Yi's status as Starmoon Kingdom's number one Guild would rise as well. This would be much easier than competing in other Guilds' territories.
Moreover, there were many benefits to becoming an empire.
One of these benefits was the neutral maps bordering the kingdom.
God's Domain's neutral maps were larger than all of the kingdoms and empires combined. Every one of these maps was a high-level map, and many of them were high-resource areas. Hence, after players reached Level 50, they would gradually shift their leveling grounds to these neutral maps.
Level 100-plus maps were extremely rare in kingdoms and empires. Hence, it was only a matter of time before players shifted their development to neutral maps. When a kingdom became an empire, it would annex these neutral maps and place them under the new empire's banner. At that time, players would have a much easier time leveling in these neutral maps.
This was especially true for NPC cities established in neutral maps. In the past, every one of these cities had a player population of over 3,000,000. Among them, Shallow Hills, a neutral map occupied by the Golden Sands Empire, had a player population of over 10,000,000. The Epic adventurer's Guild, which had completed an SSS-rank quest, had made a fortune from the city.
Newly established NPC cities' Lands weren't easy to purchase. Players needed to have a certain amount of Reputation in the kingdom to purchase them. Otherwise, they'd have to be a great noble in the new NPC city. Hence, foreign Guilds had no chance of acquiring the city's Lands.
Compared to competing for the low-level maps of the original kingdoms and empires, a NPC city was much more valuable.
This was something that Shifeng had planned for when he had first joined God's Domain.
"Lord Protector, the quests here are very complicated. If you don't know which one to choose, I can choose a suitable quest for you based on your preferences and requirements," the senior administrator offered after seeing that Shi Feng still hadn't decided on a quest after a long time.
"Thank you, but I've already decided. I'll choose this Ancient Orc Empire," Shifeng said as he pointed at the quest on the list.
In the past, although Starmoon Kingdom's players had known about the three SSS-rank commission quests, very few people had known about their specific content.
He had carefully read through the quest's contents.
The Ancient Orc Kingdom quest could be said to be the easiest quest to complete out of the three. As for the remaining two, it was impossible for him to complete them with his current situation.
The Fallen's revenge was to kill the Fallen hidden in Star-Moon Kingdom. There were as many as five of them.
The Fallen hidden in Starmoon Kingdom weren't as easy to deal with as Berenwoka. Every Fallen possessed the strength to destroy an entire city. Moreover, these Fallen were hidden throughout Starmoon Kingdom. Finding them was extremely difficult. It was no wonder why no one had been able to complete the quest's quest in the past.... the Fallen's Resurrection quest...
Similarly, he needed three super-rare items: the Book of the Undead, the White Bone Scepter, and the Ancient Contract. Of these three items, he had only heard of the Book of the Undead. However, the Book of the Undead could be found in the Level 80 neutral map, Eternal Tomb. Undead creatures gathered there, and the Skeleton King, a Tier 4 Mythic monster, guarded the map. He had no chance of finding the Book of the Undead. As for the remaining two items, he had never even heard of them before.
He didn't even know where to start. The Ancient Orc Empire was located in the Mourning Battlefield, a Level 75 neutral map located between Starmoon Kingdom and Purple Thorns Kingdom. The Mourning Battlefield had once been the ancient capital of the powerful Orc Empire. However, after numerous wars, the ancient capital had long since become a battlefield. Countless powerful Orcs had gathered there, seeking to restore their former glory and rule over the several neighboring kingdoms. The Orc Empire had long since become a major threat to the neighboring kingdoms.
This quest required him to destroy the alliance between the various Orc Tribes. If he wanted to destroy this alliance, he needed to find the Disintegration Axe, the weapon used by the Orc Empire's founding emperor. He couldn't let the Orcs get their hands on the Disintegration Axe and reunite the scattered Orcs throughout God's Domain. If that happened, the neighboring kingdoms and empires would be in trouble.
Fortunately, the Disintegration Axe had been extremely famous in the past. Shifeng also knew the weapon's whereabouts. Otherwise, he would've had no choice but to choose the Undead Revival quest.
"Lord Protector, if you choose this quest, you will have to pay 6,000 Gold. However, as you are an Epic Adventurer, you will only have to pay half of the deposit, which is 3,000 Gold. Are you sure you wish to choose this quest?" the senior administrator asked.
Following which, Shi Feng took out 3,000 Gold Coins. However, the Gold Coins in his bag were nearly empty.
Although he had earned quite a bit from Stone Forest Town during this period, he had spent most of it on the town's development with the Guild and the Diamond Wood he had collected. He didn't have much left.
Moreover, he would have to spend a lot of money to construct the Four Towers of Elements.
After killing so many Demonic Beasts in the Moon God's Space, he had collected a total of 989 Seven Luminaries Shards. Although he wanted to grind for more, the more Seven Luminaries Shards he grinded, the lower the shard's drop-rate. Fortunately, he had enough to synthesize 40 units of Seven Luminaries Crystal. He could definitely construct the Four Towers of Elements. Then, the newly constructed city would be as stable as a mountain. However, the cost of constructing a high-end building like the Four Towers of Elements was frightening. It wasn't as easy as constructing the Mana Towers. Based on Shi Feng's rough estimates, the cost of constructing the Four Towers of Elements was around 80,000 to 90,000 Gold …
Just as Shifeng was about to head to Candlelight after accepting the quest, Hei Zi contacted him.
"What's wrong on your side?" Shifeng asked curiously when he saw Hei Zi's pale expression.
"Guild Leader, we lost again …" Hei Zi said softly after some time.
"What? Even Aqua and Summer lost?" Shifeng was a little surprised.
He had already sent Shiuse Qiangwei and the others to the Battle Arena.
He was very familiar with Shiuse Qiangwei and Alluring Summer's strength. They were both high-leveled and fully geared in top-tier equipment. When it came to combat techniques, Shiuse Qiangwei and Alluring Summer had grown much stronger after entering the Legacy space. Not only were they Refinement Realm experts, but they had also grasped a portion of the Secret Spellcasting Technique.
With Shiuse Qiangwei and Alluring Summer's strength, aside from the various superpowers' peak experts, no one in the entire Starmoon Kingdom would be a match for Shiuse Qiangwei and Alluring Summer. Reclaiming the Ling YI Society's reputation should be a piece of cake.
"That's not the case. The other side suddenly changed the competition rules. They now only want hand-to-hand combat. No Skills, Spells, or tools are allowed. Ke Le, Jian Ying, Flying Shadow, and the others have all lost. Moreover, Evil Fire, the leader of the team, hasn't even taken action yet …" Hei Zi explained. "The Battle Arena is going to be turned upside down. Everyone is saying that Ling Yi has no one capable. Many other Guilds have also snuck in to take advantage of the situation. If we don't stop them, I'm afraid that the prestige we've worked so hard to establish will …"
"Guild Leader, I suggest that we have Big Sis Fire Dance come over. With her skills, she can definitely defeat those bastards."
"This is interesting. Even Ke Le and Flying Shadow aren't a match for her in terms of techniques?" Shifeng's lips curled up slightly. He could not help but grow interested.
First, Shi Feng had publicly challenged him, the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader, during the friendly competition. Then, Shi Feng had gone to Stone Forest Town the day before the scheduled match. With this, even if he, the Guild Leader, had no choice but to accept Shi Feng's challenge.
"Guild Leader, should we have Big Sis Fire Dance come over now?" Hei Zi asked anxiously.
Fire Dance had been dealing with important matters all this time. Moreover, Shifeng had said that Fire Dance was not to be disturbed without his permission. Now that they were in a pinch, if they did not have Fire Dance, the Guild's second-ranked melee expert, come and face Shi Feng, they couldn't possibly send Shifeng's Guild Leader, right?
If they allowed their Guild Leader to face an unknown player, Ling Yi's members would be utterly humiliated. After all, the Ling YI Society was no longer the small Guild it had been in the past. It was now the number one Guild in Starmoon Kingdom.
