As soon as Youlan and the others entered the dazzling Ling Yi Residence, they were immediately attracted by the sight before them.
From the outside, Ling Yi's Residence definitely couldn't compare to superpowers' main headquarters. However, the interior was like an entirely different space. It was much larger than it appeared from the outside.
The reception hall on the first floor was the size of a football field. Guild members could rest and chat here. Quite a few of them had rented private rooms to rest in. Beside the reception hall was an even more spacious Quest Hall. At this moment, many Guild members were in the midst of accepting quests. High-ranking quests and high-ranking team quests were displayed on the large screen hanging from the ceiling. The number of quests was so high that it was dazzling.
"So, this is a 3-star Guild?" Youlan revealed a bitter smile as she looked at the large screen hanging above the Quest Hall.
Underworld had desperately tried to increase the Guild's Popularity, yet it had only managed to increase the number of high-ranking quests available in the Guild Residence to 500 to 600 per day. There were also over 100 team quests available. Many of the Guild's core members struggled to obtain high-ranking quests, yet the Ling Yi Society was different.
There were over 2,200 high-ranking quests and over 400 team quests. Even the Guild's elite members had a chance to obtain high-ranking quests.
The Guild's ordinary quests rewarded Coins, but high-ranking quests were a different story. There was a certain chance of obtaining rare items. Moreover, the rewards for completing these quests were even greater. They could also increase the Guild's Popularity.
With so many high-ranking quests and team quests available, Ling Yi could allow more Guild members to develop. If this continued, the gap between the Guild's members would only continue to grow.
"This is the place to go through the registration procedures. All you need to do is register here." Shifeng led Youlan and the others to the Guild's registration counter. "As for your rank, you'll need to accumulate a certain number of GCPs and pass the corresponding test before you can be promoted. However, since I'm the one who invited you to join, you can forget about the GCPs. You'll be promoted as long as you pass the corresponding test.
"Currently, to become an elite member of Ling Yi, you'll need to reach the early stage of the Trial Tower's fifth floor. As for becoming a core member, you'll need to reach the middle stage of the Trial Tower's sixth floor."
When Youlan and the others heard, they could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
In the eyes of ordinary players, reaching the Trial Tower's fourth floor would make one an expert. Reaching the Trial Tower's fifth floor would make one publicly acknowledged as an expert. Meanwhile, the Ling YI Society required players to reach the Trial Tower's fifth floor in order to become an elite member. Core members were even more frightening. As for reaching the Trial Tower's sixth floor's middle stage …
At this stage of the game, even the main force members of first-rate Guilds in God's Domain were only at this level. A Guild's main force members were experts handpicked from among its core members. Meanwhile, this standard was only the minimum requirement to become a core member of the Ling YI Society.
Dark Eye and the others blushed with shame.
Among the dozen or so experts present, only Dark Eye and Youlan had reached this standard. The others were still a bit lacking, with the best only reaching the later stage of the Trial Tower's fifth floor.
"President Hei Yan, what about us Lifestyle players?" the dozen or so Lifestyle players behind Youlan asked nervously.
They were Life Players and were good at subclasses, but not combat.
"Relax. After you join the Guild, there will be a test for Lifestyle players as well. However, this test will take place in Candlelight," Shifeng explained.
Hearing Shifeng's words, the dozen or so Lifestyle players relaxed slightly. They were all Advanced Lifestyle players that Youlan had nurtured. While they might not be good at combat, they were definitely top-notch when it came to Lifestyle standards.
However, Shifeng's next words nearly made them vomit blood.
"For subclasses, reaching the Advanced standard will allow you to become an official member of Candlelight. If you wish to become a core member, you'll need to have an actual success rate of 30% when producing Advanced items."
It was common knowledge in God's Domain that even Advanced Lifestyle players only had a success rate of 35% when producing Advanced items. Their actual success rate would be much lower. They'd be fortunate to have an actual success rate of 25%. After that, every 1% increase in success rate would significantly improve their production standards. Now, however, there was a 5% increase …
Youlan could not help her surprise when she heard Shifeng's words.
She felt that this was a little too exaggerated.
She was no stranger to subclasses. After all, she had been managing Underworld's trading companies, so she had a relatively good understanding of God's Domain's subclasses. The dozen or so Lifestyle players following her were definitely among the upper echelons of Underworld's Lifestyle players. They were not far from Underworld's top Lifestyle players. Yet, when it came to Ling Yi, they actually failed to even reach the standard of a core member.
"Right, today is the day of the Alchemist's test. If any of you are an Alchemist, feel free to participate. I'll lead you to the test in a moment. As long as you rank among the top ten, not only will you become a core member, but you'll also be able to use a full set of Dark-Gold alchemy tools. In addition, the Chief Alchemist will also have the right to use the Basic Meditation Room for extended periods of time. When you attempt to become a Master, you'll also be able to travel to Titan City," Shifeng said.
When the Lifestyle players present heard this, they could not help but feel envious. They all regretted that they were not Alchemists. If they were, they could definitely compete for the position.
"This is interesting. May I know if this old man can participate as well?" an old man with white eyebrows asked, smiling at Xiang Shifeng as he stepped forward.
"Master Fu Jiuzhong, you want to participate?" Youlan was confused as she looked at the white-browed old man.
Fu Jiuzhong was very famous in the virtual gaming world. Back when he was still in the Starmoon Kingdom, he had created the Fire Dragon Potion as an Intermediate Alchemist. This potion had allowed Overwhelming Smile to compete with Candlelight. Now, Fu Jiuzhong had long since become an Advanced Alchemist. He was only a step away from becoming a Master Alchemist.
Fu Jiuzhong had never been interested in competing with others. Hence, the fact that he had taken the initiative to propose this was truly surprising.
"Mhm. Although we've received Ling Yi's protection, we can't let Ling Yi's people look down on us," Fu Jiuzhong nodded and whispered to Youlan.
"Of course, that won't be a problem. Once we're done here, we can head over."
Shifeng glanced at Fu Jiuzhong. He had heard of Fu Jiuzhong's name before. Although Fu Jiuzhong had not been very famous during God's Domain's early stages, almost everyone had heard of him a decade later. He was a Master Alchemist who was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster Alchemist.
Fu Jiuzhong was the man who had created the Master Potion, God's Blood, that even Grandmaster Alchemists admired!
Fu Jiuzhong had named God's Blood himself. It was an extremely powerful Master Berserk Potion. Moreover, this potion could stack with a Berserk Skill without any side effects. Hence, Fu Jiuzhong had named it God's Blood.
Back then, even Super Guilds had offered astronomical prices to purchase the potion's recipe. However, due to Fu Jiuzhong's strange personality, he had only sold one potion. Moreover, he had used it to exchange for alchemy tools and materials.
Following which, after Youlan and the others displayed the Trial Tower's system results, Shifeng led Youlan and Fu Jiuzhong's group to Candlelight. As for Dark Eye and the other experts, Shifeng left them to a 100-man expert team led by Jian Ying and Turtledove to raid Level 45, 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons to upgrade their equipment.
In less than ten minutes, Shifeng and Youlan's group arrived before Candlelight's main building.
Compared to Ling Yi's Residence, Candlelight's building was much larger. It was the tallest player-owned Shop in White River City. Since the teleportation array's barrier had been removed, the number of players visiting Candlelight's Residence had reached an unprecedented level. The Candlelight's Residence could already rival the capital's Auction House.
