"What's going on?"
As soon as Shifeng logged into the game and opened his eyes, he was shocked by the scene before him.
What had once been a lush forest had become a barren wasteland. Large craters littered the ground, and yellow sand danced in the air. The Mana density here was also considerably low.
If not for the Abyssal Blade absorbing the ambient Mana, his combat power would've decreased significantly.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi's members, who had just logged into the game, were similarly stupefied by the scene before them.
"Quick, look at the sky! What's that?" someone among the crowd suddenly shouted as he pointed to the sky.
A pitch-black spaceship hovered in the dark sky, surrounded by dark-gray Spells. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice it at all.
"A Magic Strategic Airship?" Shifeng could not help his surprise. "That emblem should be the royal family's symbol. Why is it here?"
The Magic Strategic Airship was a true strategic weapon. It was also one of Starmoon Kingdom's trump cards. The Starmoon Kingdom wouldn't even use it during ordinary wars between kingdoms.
A Magic Strategic Airship was akin to a war fortress. It could cast Tier 5 Spells and annihilate an entire town with a single hit. Meanwhile, the royal family's Magic Strategic Airship was even stronger. It could even cast Tier 5 Curses. It was a weapon that the Starmoon Kingdom would only use during an abyssal invasion.
Yet, the royal family's Magic Strategic Airship was patrolling this area. It was simply unbelievable.
"Has the Orc Empire's invasion already reached such a severe state?" Shifeng could not help but wonder. He then had Shiuse Qiangwei send someone to investigate the matter.
Every time a new expansion pack was released, the various cities in the relevant regions would receive relevant information. Players could also inquire about this information through the NPCs in those cities. This way, players wouldn't be completely clueless about the new expansion pack.
At this moment, Starmoon Kingdom wasn't the only country that was in an uproar. The Orc Empire's neighboring countries were in an uproar as well. This was because the Starmoon Kingdom wasn't the only country affected. The neighboring countries, including the two empires, had also mobilized their trump cards to organize the Orc Empire's frenzied invasion.
It didn't take long for Shiuse Qiangwei's guild members to gather the latest information.
"Guild Leader, according to the information we've just received, the Orcs seem to be frantically searching for something. They are constantly waging war against the neighboring kingdoms and empires. Moreover, many powerful Mutated Orcs have appeared among the Orcs. These Mutated Orcs have given the nearby kingdoms and empires a headache.
"In addition, several kingdoms and two empires have reached an agreement to temporarily cancel the border teleportation fees. The teleportation fees in these countries will be calculated according to the normal city teleportation fees. At the same time, several kingdoms and two empires are also recruiting warriors to fight against the Orc Empire. Many new items have appeared in the Contribution Points exchange."
"Level 40 and above Warrior's Set Equipment has appeared for individual players, ranging from Bronze rank to Dark-Gold rank. However, these items are bound to the player and cannot be traded."
"There's also a Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate among the items available for exchange."
When Shiuse Qiangwei summarized the information he had received so far, he was also surprised by the system update's effects. This would undoubtedly reshuffle the balance of power among the current Guilds.
Without the teleportation fees between kingdoms, players could move between kingdoms more easily. At the same time, the same applied to Guilds. Without this barrier, the competition between Guilds in the various kingdoms would become even more intense.
"A Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate?" Shifeng's eyes glowed when he heard Shiuse Qiangwei mention this term.
The Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate was a relatively convenient system for Guilds. It was an item that players could only obtain by raiding designated super-large-scale Team Dungeons in a kingdom. It was proof of a Guild's strength.
After obtaining a Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate, Guild players could rent a Guild Magic Car from their Guild Residence. Unlike the Advanced Transport Vehicles, which could only travel between towns and cities, the Guild Magic Car could travel wherever it wished. It was like a mobile camp.
Not only could players use the Magic Car as a means of transportation, but it could also allow players to rest. It was a godsend for teams that preferred to level up in remote locations.
"Guild Leader, is there a problem?" Shiuse Qiangwei asked curiously when he saw Shifeng's confused expression.
"How many GCPs does a Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate cost?" Shifeng asked.
If they could obtain a Guild Magic Car Rental Certificate now, they would have a much easier time traveling to the Boneless Land.
Whether it was the construction of Advanced Restaurants or Advanced Buildings like the Magic Workshop, they all required Mana Ore. However, Mana Ore was not easy to obtain. Players would only obtain it when mining rare ores. Moreover, the chances of obtaining Mana Ore were very low.
However, there were still plenty of Mana Ore on the market. With so many players in the kingdom, every time they ventured out to level up, they would mine the rare ores they came across to earn some pocket money. This way, they could accumulate a lot of Mana Ore. However, it was very difficult to obtain Mana Ore.
Due to the incident in the Orc Empire, the various large Guilds and players were all focused on obtaining Mana Amulets. As a result, the market for Mana Ore had been swept clean as soon as it appeared. The various large Guilds had even purchased Mana Ore from other kingdoms and empires. Obtaining a large quantity of Mana Ore was practically impossible.
However, Shifeng knew of a way to obtain a large quantity of Mana Ore.
It was the Boneless Land, a very remote neutral map. There were quite a few rare ore veins scattered around the map. In the past, the map had been famous for its Mana Ore production.
Only, the map wasn't a place current players could visit. On their way to the Boneless Land, they had to pass through over a dozen high-level maps. The lowest-level maps were Level 100, while the highest-level maps were Level 130.
As the map had been a neutral map, there had been no towns for players to rest in. Normally, the various large Guilds had established Guild Towns in these neutral maps and developed their way to the Boneless Land.
However, that was obviously impossible right now.
However, things would be different with the Guild Magic Car. A Guild Magic Car was the equivalent of a hotel. Although only 20 players could rest in a Guild Magic Car, the Magic Car's effects were the same. Players could recover their Stamina and Concentration at their best.
The Boneless Land's level wasn't particularly high, only between Level 60 and Level 80.
As long as he used the Spatial Gate to send a large number of players to the Boneless Land and had the Guild Magic Car as a temporary rest stop, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain Mana Ore. The only cost would be the high rental fee and Magic Crystals. Even so, the Guild Magic Car was much easier than purchasing Mana Ore on the market.
"The Guild Magic Car rental fee is 200,000 Merit Points and one three-star Merit Point," Shiuse Qiangwei said.
Sure enough, the system won't let Guilds obtain it so easily. Shifeng could not help but smile bitterly.
Even a Super Guild would need a very long time to collect 200,000 Merit Points. As for obtaining Merit Points, that was even more difficult. It was just like a Kingdom Quest. Players would need to obtain a significant victory in a war between kingdoms in order to obtain Merit Points. Merit Points were not only a symbol of glory, but also a symbol of the kingdom's influence. Even though the 3-star Merit Point was the lowest rank of Merit Points, it was still much more difficult than an Epic Main Storyline Quest.
The Guild Magic Car's difficulty wasn't any lower than raiding a super-large-scale Team Dungeon. At best, he could give the various large Guilds an opportunity to get their hands on the Guild Magic Car as soon as possible.
"Forget it. I'll find Seliora and deal with the Disintegration Armor first."
