Starmoon Kingdom, Starmoon City:
After the battle in Stone Forest Town ended, many merchant players from the neighboring kingdoms and empires began to gather in the Teleportation Hall. Among the players teleported through the Teleportation Hall, only two or three out of ten were low-level and equipped with ordinary equipment. Normally, such a scene could only be found in imperial capitals.
The first thing these merchant players did upon arriving was teleport to the NPC town closest to Stone Forest Town. The long line of merchant players stupefied the passing players.
"So many merchant players are heading to Stone Forest Town? It's just a Guild Town! There's no need to go this far, right? "
"Don't you know? When the Ling YI Society announced the auction for the Adventurer's Home, it also announced that it would sell all sorts of Shops to the public. Now, these merchant players are all heading to Stone Forest Town to scout out the town's situation. Shops in NPC cities are simply too expensive. Not only do they have to pay a high deed tax every month, but they also have to compete with the various large Guilds. How many ordinary merchant players can afford such a price?
"However, Shops in Guild towns are much cheaper. They also have to pay a lower deed tax every month. Most importantly, Stone Forest Town's player population is no lower than an NPC city's. Moreover, due to the Battle Arena, many expert players have gathered there. How can expert players lack precious resources? At that time, it'll be much more convenient for them to collect good items and sell them. In addition, Stone Forest Town is so safe right now. Naturally, these merchant players can't wait to visit. "
"Won't we have an even better time developing in Stone Forest Town now?!"
…
The merchant players preparing to develop in Stone Forest Town could not help but grow excited.
The Candlelight Trading Firm's support in Stone Forest Town had been a good thing. However, the Candlelight Trading Firm's products were simply too limited. The variety of products available in NPC cities was far inferior to the variety of products available in NPC cities. Now that so many merchant players had visited Stone Forest Town, many of them from other kingdoms and empires, the town would definitely sell their products.
At that time, Stone Forest Town's products would most likely rival Star-Moon City's. It might even surpass Star-Moon City's.
After all, Shops in Guild towns were different from Shops in NPC cities. Any player who purchased a Shop in a Guild town could install a simple teleportation array inside the Shop to teleport back to the Shop.
Unlike the Shops in NPC towns and cities, the Shops in Guild towns and cities were much more convenient. There was no need to go through Star-Moon City's Teleportation Hall and spend several hours traveling by horse carriage to the Shops in Stone Forest Town.
In the conference room of the Sky Burial Society's headquarters, the higher-ups of the Sky Burial Society gathered together.
At this moment, all of them were silent. Singular Burial's expression was especially gloomy.
Although the Ling YI Society was courting death by forcing some well-known adventurer teams to give up on Stone Forest Town, with a large number of merchant players moving to Stone Forest Town, Stone Forest Town would attract even more independent players. At that time, whether it was Stone Forest Town or the Ling YI Society, as time passed, the difference in strength between the two would only continue to grow.
"Right now, we can only take down The Frozen King as quickly as possible. With The Frozen King's reward, although it won't be as helpful to the Ling YI Society as Stone Forest Town, it should be enough to contend with them," Singular Burial said helplessly.
Not only had Abandoned Wave failed to inflict any losses on the Ling YI Society, but Stone Forest Town had also become famous. If Singular Burial had known this would happen, he definitely wouldn't have allowed Abandoned Wave to take action so soon. Now, Abandoned Wave was definitely finished. Currently, no Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom could stop Ling Yi from becoming the overlord of the kingdom.
"Guild Leader, I just received a piece of good news," Daybreak Fog suddenly said.
"Good news?" Singular Burial asked curiously. "What kind of good news is this?"
"Previously, Hei Yan killed Flame Blood. Meanwhile, Broken Flow, who failed his quest, has resurrected Flame Blood. Although Flame Blood suffered heavy losses, he met Beast Emperor, Abandoned Wave's guide. Beast Emperor even secretly added Flame Blood as a friend," Daybreak Fog said. "Now, Beast Emperor has taken the initiative to contact Flame Blood, saying that he wishes to speak with you personally. He also says that he is willing to help the Sky Burial Society eliminate Ling Yi!"
"Abandoned Wave's guide?" Singular Burial laughed. "Good. Send a reply to Flame Blood. Tell him that I am willing to speak with him."
Following which, Daybreak Fog relayed Singular Burial's reply to Flame Blood and had him relay the message.
Meanwhile, Shifeng alighted from an advanced carriage in front of White River City's War God's Temple.
As a teleportation portal to the Abyss Battlefield, the War God's Temple had far more players entering and exiting than the Adventurer's Association. It was one of the places players visited every day.
If the Adventurer's Association was a good place to earn money, then the War God's Temple was a good place to level up and improve one's strength.
If not for the fact that players only had one life per day in the Abyss Battlefield, most players would've stayed in the Abyss Battlefield for as long as they could.
After all, although monsters in the Abyss Battlefield did not drop Coins, they dropped weapons, equipment, and Honor Points. As long as players had enough Honor Points, they could purchase various tools and top-tier weapons and equipment from the War God's Temple.
Only, it was very difficult to survive in the Abyss Battlefield. Moreover, the higher one's level, the more difficult it would be to survive in the Abyss Battlefield. Before Level 50, expert players could easily earn Honor Points by staying in the Abyss Battlefield for an entire day as long as they did not venture into extremely dangerous locations. Unfortunately, they could accumulate enough Honor Points to purchase a decent weapon or equipment after a few days. Only, these weapons and equipment were more suitable for PvP.
However, the Abyss Battlefield was a paradise for many solo players.
After Level 50, however, even expert players would have a hard time surviving in the Abyss Battlefield. Moreover, weapons and equipment after Level 50 required a lot of Honor Points. As a result, the Abyss Battlefield had become a training ground for expert players, while ordinary players came here to grind for the Double EXP Potion.
"Sir, how may I help you?" A Level 150, Tier 3 Great Mage asked as Shifeng approached the War God's Temple's third-floor hall.
Shifeng glanced at the Great Mage and noticed that it was Roland, the War God's Temple's senior administrator.
"I've captured an Evil God Apostle, so I'm here to claim the bounty."
The War God's Temple's first-floor hall dealt with all matters related to the Abyss Battlefield, while the second floor was the temple's quest area. If players completed the quest, they could earn War God's Temple Contribution Points, which could be used to purchase various weapons, equipment, and tools.
Players could enter and leave the War God's Temple freely on the first two floors. However, the third floor was a different story. It dealt with the dark forces, and players weren't allowed to set foot on the third floor unless they needed to.
"An Evil God Apostle?!" Roland's wrinkled face twitched involuntarily as he stared at Shifeng in astonishment. "May I confirm this?"
"Sure," Shifeng said as he took out the Mobile Prison and showed it to Roland.
After accepting the Mobile Prison, Roland chanted an incantation and clicked on the Mobile Prison.
Immediately, an image appeared on the Mobile Prison. In the image, Abandoned Wave attacked his surroundings in a pitch-black space. Dense Evil Energy radiated from his body, and his eyes were blood-red. It was obvious that he had lost his mind.
