In God's Domain, there were as many independent adventurer teams as there were carps in a river.
Aside from solo players, other independent players with similar interests would form their own adventurer teams. They were not bound by Guilds.
Some of these top adventurer teams were even as strong as large Guilds.
The Midnight Tea Party, for example, loved to explore the various dangerous locations of God's Domain and challenge all sorts of limits. The Midnight Tea Party was a group of crazy players. This was also why these adventurer teams had gathered together, and even Super Guilds feared them.
There was also Owl. Owl was just as famous as the Midnight Tea Party. Although they had many members, they were not as belligerent as the Midnight Tea Party. Owl was a group of players who loved to complete all sorts of difficult quests. Owl had completed many quests that not even Super Guilds could complete.
It was precisely because of these top adventurer teams that the Guild Towns they garrisoned became famous overnight, becoming a gathering place for countless similarly passionate players.
Only, aside from the Midnight Tea Party, the Guild Towns did not have any strongholds. Moreover, the whereabouts of the adventurer team's members remained a mystery.
Meanwhile, if a large number of adventurer teams garrisoned in a Guild Town, not only would the Guild profit significantly in the long run, but the adventurer teams would also help defend the town during siege battles.
For example, when other Guilds attacked a Guild Town that had multiple top adventurer teams garrisoned in it, they would do their best to avoid attacking it.
If they did so, not only would they have to deal with the Guild Town, but they would also have to deal with all of the adventurer teams in the town.
Hence, adventurer teams garrisoned in a Guild Town was a good thing for any Guild.
"They sure came quickly." Shifeng was slightly surprised when he saw the various adventurer team representatives waiting outside the Guild Residence.
He had assumed that these adventurer teams would take some time before they took action.
After all, the battle in Stone Forest Town had just ended. To these adventurer teams, this was an important decision that would affect their future development. At the very least, they needed to consider their options carefully.
"When I saw them earlier, I thought that some Guild had secretly sent experts to steal the Town Token," Shi Jiangwei said, chuckling. Shiuse Qiangwei chuckled. "However, from what I've heard from them, they were already interested in Stone Forest Town. They were only hesitant because they were worried about Stone Forest Town's safety. Now that they've seen our Ling YI Society's foundation, they've all rushed over."
After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng said, "Tell them that Stone Forest Town still needs to be renovated. We won't be selling adventurer's Residences for now. Once the town is fully renovated, we'll construct five adventurer's Residences in Stone Forest Town. When the time comes, we'll auction them off in Candlelight. The highest bidder will win!"
"This …" Shiuse Qiangwei looked at Shifeng's serious expression and didn't know what to say.
Other Guilds hoped to attract as many adventurer teams as possible. That way, their Guild Towns and Cities would grow stronger. Some large Guilds were even willing to sell their Adventurer's Houses at a low price to attract adventurer teams.
Yet, Shifeng was actually planning to sell a limited number of Adventurer's Houses to the highest bidder. This only served to drive the adventurer teams out of Stone Forest Town.
"Just relay the message. A town's development has never depended on the number of adventurer teams it has. As long as the town is strong enough, two or three adventurer teams will be enough to garrison it," Shifeng said.
A town's land was extremely limited. Meanwhile, the Adventurer's Residences required far more land than private houses. One Adventurer's Residences could accommodate more than 20 private houses. Rather than relying on adventurer teams to stabilize the town's income and security, it would be better to let independent players rest and enjoy themselves.
"I understand. I'll reply to them right away." Shiuse Qiangwei could not help but sigh.
Although she, too, understood this logic, the more powerful an adventurer team was, the more likely it would be unwilling to pay such a high price to garrison a Guild Town. After all, all large Guilds would beg for an adventurer team to garrison a Guild Town. It was the equivalent of a free and powerful guard.
Although Stone Forest Town had excellent conditions in all aspects, it wasn't particularly attractive to powerful adventurer teams. At most, they would purchase one or two private houses.
Meanwhile, after Shiuse Qiangwei replied to the various adventurer teams, a commotion broke out among the various adventurer teams.
News of this matter quickly spread to the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums, and the well-known adventurer teams that had originally considered garrisoning in Stone Forest Town immediately dismissed the idea.
"Limited the purchase of five Adventurer's Residences? Are they trying to get us to spend a lot of money and become the town's bodyguards? "
"The Ling YI Society must be dreaming! There are plenty of Guild Towns that want our adventurer teams to garrison. Only an idiot would be willing to compete for this quota. At most, we'll just buy a private house and use it. "
"The Ling YI Society is too arrogant! Does it really think that adventurer teams like us need to garrison Stone Forest Town? "
…
To ordinary players, Ling Yi's announcement had only shocked them. They had never thought that the Ling YI Society would make such a bold claim. As for garrisoning in Stone Forest Town, ordinary players had never even considered such a thing. Owning a private house in Stone Forest Town was already a dream, not to mention an adventurer's Residence.
However, to the various well-known adventurer teams in the Starmoon Kingdom, the Ling YI Society was simply trying to use this war to sell their Adventurer's Residences for a high price. They were specifically looking for spendthrifts.
Meanwhile, in an ancient ruin in the distant Apocalypse Empire, a 20-man team rested in a shrine. Corpses of Level 55-plus monsters littered the shrine. The weakest of these corpses was a Chieftain, while the strongest was a Great Lord. These monsters could easily annihilate a 20-man elite team.
Yet, before these players, they couldn't even kill a single one of these monsters.
"Hahaha! This Hei Yan sure is interesting!" Endless Scars could not help but laugh when she received a message from the Ling YI Society.
"Big Sis Endless?" Cloud Yarn, the female Cleric beside Endless Scars, was confused when she saw the smile on Endless Scars' face.
Cloud Yarn wasn't the only one surprised. Even the rest of the team turned to look at Endless Scars.
Endless Scars had actually smiled. Ever since they had joined the team, the number of times such a thing had happened could be counted on one hand.
"It's nothing. The Ling YI Society wants to auction off their Adventurer's Residences. Moreover, they've limited the number of people they can purchase," Endless Scars explained.
"What kind of powerful adventurer team would be willing to take advantage of Stone Forest Town?" Everyone was shocked by Ling Yi's actions.
Even if Stone Forest Town was an excellent town, the Regional Dungeon in the Stoneclaw Mountains was only Level 50. Many powerful adventurer teams had already begun to purchase Mounts. It wouldn't be long before everyone exceeded Level 50. Moreover, Stone Forest Town didn't have any high-level or high-resource maps nearby. Even if the town's Mana density was frighteningly high, powerful adventurer teams prioritized leveling up and upgrading their weapons and equipment. Everything else was secondary.
Why would they pay such a huge price to garrison in Stone Forest Town?
"A sucker?" Endless Scars' interest in the Ling YI Society deepened as she read the report on Stone Forest Town's war.
After all, Zero Wing's decision to abandon a powerful Guild Town and do the exact opposite was incomprehensible.
While Starmoon Kingdom's various major powers discussed this matter, the instigator of the Shifeng incident had quietly returned to White River City. After exiting the Teleportation Hall, he hailed an advanced carriage and headed to the War God's Temple.
"Hahaha! This Hei Yan sure is interesting!" Endless Scars could not help but laugh when she read the report she had just received from the Ling YI Society.
"Big Sis Endless?" Cloud Yarn, the female Cleric beside Endless Scars, stared at the smiling Endless Scars in astonishment.
Cloud Yarn wasn't the only one surprised. The rest of the team could not help but turn to look at Endless Scars.
Endless Scars had actually smiled. Ever since they had joined the team, the number of times such a thing had happened could be counted on one hand.
"It's nothing. Ling YI Society wants to auction off their Adventurer's Residences. Moreover, they've limited the number of people they can purchase," Endless Scars explained.
"What kind of powerful adventurer team would be willing to be a sucker in Stone Forest Town?" Everyone was shocked by Ling Yi's decision.
No matter how good Stone Forest Town was, the Regional Dungeon in the Stoneclaw Mountains was only Level 50. Now that many powerful adventurer teams had begun purchasing Mounts, it wouldn't be long before everyone exceeded Level 50. Moreover, there weren't any high-level or high-resource maps around Stone Forest Town. Even though the town's Mana density was frighteningly high, to powerful adventurer teams, leveling up and upgrading their weapons and equipment was their top priority.
Why would the Guild pay such a huge price to garrison in Stone Forest Town?
"A sucker?" Endless Scars' interest in the Ling YI Society deepened as she read the report on Stone Forest Town's war.
After all, Zero Wing's decision to abandon a powerful Guild Town and do the exact opposite was incomprehensible.
