Shortly after Shifeng's announcement, an uproar erupted on the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums.
"What?! The Ling YI Society is going to sell Stone Forest Town's private houses again?!"
"Previously, there were people willing to spend 1,000 Gold to purchase them, but none of them were willing to sell. Now, the Ling YI Society is finally going to sell their private houses again. This time, they might let this opportunity slip by. I must fight for it!"
"With this, Stone Forest Town will likely become even more popular. I've heard that the adventurer teams that previously purchased Stone Forest Town's private houses have grown significantly stronger. These adventurer teams have also snatched up quite a few of the town's rare tools."
"This is great! We didn't get the chance to go to the Auction House last time. This time, our adventurer team must buy one!"
"Stone Forest Town's private houses will definitely be snatched up like crazy. I never thought that the Ling YI Society would be so amazing to activate the Private House Promotion System so quickly. I really don't know how the Ling YI Society did it."
"I've also just looked into it. Currently, Stone Forest Town's private houses are only 1-star. As long as they upgrade to 1-star, they'll be able to bind up to ten players, allowing them to teleport directly to the private houses. Although the Cooldown is relatively long, and they'll only be able to teleport to the private houses once a day, unlike the private houses' owners, who can teleport whenever they want. This is simply awesome."
"Then, if we buy Stone Forest Town's private houses, won't we be able to send a party of players back and forth to Stone Forest Town easily?"
"No! I'll have to borrow money if I want to buy one!"
Initially, everyone had been overjoyed by Ling Yi's decision to sell Stone Forest Town's private houses. However, as they gradually learned about the Private House Promotion System, many adventurer team members' eyes glowed with greed when they looked at Stone Forest Town's private houses.
After activating the Private House Promotion System, Stone Forest Town's private houses were practically tailor-made for the various adventurer teams. Not only could these houses allow teams to explore the wilderness, but they could also allow teams to return to Stone Forest Town immediately and enjoy the town's various benefits.
Compared to the Sky Burial Society's Red Iron Town, Stone Forest Town's private houses were not the slightest bit inferior.
Ever since the Sky Burial Society had garrisoned in Evernight City, it had set Evernight City's teleportation array in Red Iron Town, a short distance away from a high-level, high-resource map. In addition, now that Guilds in Evernight City had garrisoned Evernight City, players would have a much easier time entering Evernight City. As long as they completed a few quests, they could travel to and fro between Evernight City and Red Town's Town and City.....
Players wouldn't have to travel for long periods of time to reach high-leveled and resource-rich maps. It was incredibly convenient for players to level up.
Town 'Town's Red City's town's Town to town's to Red Iron Town.. town's Town.'s Town Town's.'s Town's, Town's...
. Even so, Red Iron Town's development continued to improve. Currently, there were already wandering merchants visiting Red Iron Town. The Sky Burial Society had also begun selling private houses at a much lower price than Stone Forest Town's. This situation tempted many independent experts and adventurer teams.
As long as they purchased a house in Red Iron Town, the Sky Burial Society's development would continue in the future.
The Sky Burial Society would also set up more teleportation arrays in other towns. Using Evernight City as a hub, players could freely teleport to the Sky Burial Society's various towns.
It was a very convenient location.
Many players had already considered purchasing Red Iron Town's Town.
However, now that Stone Forest Town had made such a move, it went without saying that the various adventurer teams in the Starmoon Kingdom would choose Stone Forest Town. After all, Stone Forest Town was much, much stronger than Red Iron Town.
For a time, aside from the various adventurer teams in the Starmoon Kingdom, even the adventurer teams in the neighboring kingdoms and empires began to consider purchasing Stone Forest Town.
These adventurer teams began to raise funds in secret.
…
Currently, inside a secluded bar in the Apocalypse Empire's imperial capital, there were only two players in this serene and elegant bar, a man and a woman. The man had a dignified appearance. Although he looked very young and had fair skin, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes made it clear that he was no longer young. As for the woman, she was even more peerless. Her long black hair fell to her slender waist, and her every movement was captivating.
Two cups of purplish-red wine sat before the two players. Even though the two cups were just sitting there, the surrounding Mana continuously gathered around the two cups, releasing a faint, blood-red glow. The wine looked extremely tempting. Meanwhile, the fragrance it exuded was enough to make one salivate, tempting them to drink it.
If a Shifeng were here, he would definitely be shocked to see this wine.
This was because these two cups of wine were none other than Tears of Purgatory, one of the Apocalypse Empire's Five Great Wines. Not just anyone could drink the Tears of Purgatory. One had to obtain the key to the Purgatory Stage and clear the stage as a reward. Although the Tears of Purgatory were not as effective as the Soul Water, it was not far off.
Some players who loved to collect wine were even willing to spend 1,000 Gold to purchase the Tears of Purgatory.
However, compared to the Tears of Purgatory, the Shifeng would be more surprised by the woman sitting beside him. This woman was none other than the Midnight Tea Party's vice commander, Endless Scars.
"Old Ghost Heartless, when did you find the time to visit me?" Endless Scars looked at the fair-skinned man in his early thirties before her. Smiling faintly, she asked, "Or has your disciple already lost?"
"Little girl, why do you keep calling me an old ghost? Am I that old?" Jian Wuxian rolled his eyes at Endless Scars.
"How about it? I was right, right? That Ling YI Society is not to be trifled with, "Endless Scars ignored Jian Wuxian's complaints. Minding her own business, she continued, "Since your disciple Evil Fire has lost, according to our agreement, I should be able to invite Hei Yan to join our operation, right?"
"That doesn't count. The one who defeated my disciple is Ye Feng, not Hei Yan," Jian Wuxian said, shaking his head.
"You old ghost, do you really think your disciple can defeat Hei Yan, Starmoon Kingdom's publicly acknowledged number one?" Endless Scars could not help but laugh. "Or do you think one defeat isn't enough for your disciple?"
Jian Wuxian's complexion paled. He had already watched the video of the battle. The gap between the two sides was simply massive. Even if Hei Yan was not as strong as Ye Feng, he was most likely not far behind.
"Forget it, I won't argue with a little girl like you. I can agree to your request, but I'm not the only one who has the final say on this quest. The others might not agree." Jian Wuxian waved his hand and helplessly agreed to Endless Scars' request.
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as you agree, the others won't have any problems," Endless Scars said, chuckling. She then drank the Tears of Purgatory and left the room.
…
Meanwhile, in Heaven's Burial's Residence in Starmoon City, an uproar had erupted.
"That despicable Ling YI Society! How dare they ruin my plans!" Singular Burial could not help but frown as he read the report his subordinate had just received. His eyes burned with rage.
Originally, he could've made a fortune by selling the houses in Red Iron Town, relieving the financial burden of the Guild's development. Now, however, the Ling YI Society had ruined his plans. Originally, over 400 players had expressed interest in purchasing the houses. Now, less than 5% remained …
"Guild Leader, should I lower the price a little?" Daybreak Fog, who stood beside Singular Burial, suggested.
Currently, they were selling the houses for between 300 Gold to 400 Gold. If they lowered the price to 200 Gold to 300 Gold, many people should be willing to purchase them. After all, the houses in Stone Forest Town had long since sold for over 1,000 Gold.
