Outside of the Epic Shrine in the World Summit, space suddenly shattered. Immediately, a black figure jumped out of the shattered space and landed outside the shrine's entrance.
"Three times is the limit?" Shifeng smiled bitterly as he looked at the Epic Shrine's entrance. "The World Summit sure is stingy."
Originally, he had thought that, as long as he had enough time, he could enter as many Shrines as he wanted. Now, however, it would seem that wasn't the case. Even if he still had plenty of time, he was only allowed to enter three Epic Shrines each time he visited the World Summit.
Moreover, after he used up all three Epic Shrines, he would have to wait ten days for his next visit to the World Summit.
However, after giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng found the situation reasonable.
The World Summit was a treasure trove with plenty of Epic items and even Fragmented Legendary items. As players reached higher levels, their strength would continue to increase, and they would have more time to enter the World Summit. If he allowed players to freely exchange for Epic items, chaos would ensue. Hence, it was normal for the World Summit to impose some restrictions, especially on players with special items.
Take Moloch's Ring for example. Other Demon players had to complete a large number of quests before they could visit the World Summit. Meanwhile, Shi Feng could visit the World Summit directly through the Teleportation Gate. Obtaining Moloch's Ring was undoubtedly much easier.
Forget it. In any case, I've already achieved my goal. I can return now. Shifeng looked at the three Shenjing Pills in his bag. He then took out a White River City Return Scroll and activated it.
Although he still had plenty of time and could visit a few more Dark-Gold Shrines, he had already spent a lot of time on this trip to the World Summit to obtain the Bloodline and Shenjing Pills. Now that he had achieved his goal, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Completing the Disintegration Armor quest was his top priority. Otherwise, he would be targeted by the Mutated Orcs once he returned to the fields. If that happened, his future plans would be severely affected.
With a flash of white light, Shifeng disappeared from the World Summit's entrance.
Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
When Shifeng opened his eyes again, he was already in White River City's Teleportation Hall.
At a glance, Shi Feng discovered that more players were visiting White River City than a few days ago. Among them, the number of merchant players visiting the city had increased significantly. Moreover, the number of well-known adventurer teams visiting White River City had also increased.
Although Shi Feng had only been away from White River City for a few days, due to the Mounts gradually becoming more common, the levels of the players on the streets had increased significantly. Level 45 players were no longer in the minority. Shi Feng even spotted quite a few Level 46 and 47 independent players.
Originally, only expert players owned Mounts. Now, however, many elite players owned Mounts as well. The streets were bustling with activity.
However, as the number of players increased, Shifeng also noticed many cloaked players. These cloaked players were clearly very interested in the Ling YI Society's Emblem, and they radiated a faint killing intent. Moreover, the Ling YI Society's members also appeared very vigilant, as if they were ready to fight at any moment.
Just as Shifeng was wondering about the strange atmosphere on the streets, Shiuse Qiangwei contacted him.
"Guild Leader, you're finally out," Shiuse Qiangwei said excitedly as he looked at Shifeng.
"Did something happen in White River City? Why do I feel so much killing intent in the city? " Shifeng asked as he glanced at the players on the streets. He discovered a considerable number of cloaked players, and they all looked as if they were searching for prey.
"This … It's all because of the Blackwater Consortium and the Sky Burial Society. Just a dozen or so hours ago, they suddenly increased the bounty on our Guild members. Now, all the bounties on our Guild members have doubled. Many Dark Players and independent experts from other kingdoms and empires have been tempted to hunt our Guild members. They're even looking for opportunities to take action in White River City. Currently, they've already killed dozens of our core members …" Shiuse Qiangwei said helplessly.
During this time, the war with the Sky Burial Society and the construction of Ling Yi City had cost the Guild a lot of money. Practically all of the money earned from Candlelight, Stone Forest Town, and Ling Yi City had been invested.
Moreover, it was already difficult for the Guild to maintain its current state. After all, the Blackwater Consortium was constantly dispatching more experts to the Guild. In addition, the Sky Burial Society's experts had also arrived. Ling Yi's Guild could only defend itself.
If they increased their bounties like Blackwater and Heaven's Burial, the Ling YI Society's daily income wouldn't be enough to support the Guild members.
"Blackwater and Heaven's Burial sure are generous!" Shifeng was astonished when he heard this.
With the bounty doubled, they could earn 40 Silver for killing a normal member, 2 Gold for killing an elite member, and 20 Gold for killing a core member.
Twenty Gold!
Many experts in God's Domain couldn't even earn 20 Gold after working hard for a day. Now, however, not only could they earn 20 Gold by killing a core member of the Ling YI Society, but they could also obtain a piece of equipment from the Ling YI Society's core member.
This was especially true for Dark Players.
It was no wonder why the Dark Players of other kingdoms and empires had set their sights on White River City. After all, White River City had the most members of Ling Yi. If it were Stone Forest Town or Ling Yi City, they wouldn't even have a chance to take action.
In Guild Towns and Cities, players couldn't enter while wearing Black Cloaks unless they had the Guild's permission. If they were discovered, they could kill these players inside the Guild Town. Naturally, these players could only take action in White River City and the fields. Meanwhile, White River City had the most members of Ling Yi.
Although the risk was high, the rewards were equally high. Hence, plenty of Dark Players and independent experts were willing to take the risk.
"Guild Leader, the Guild doesn't have much funds left. We also don't have much top-tier equipment left. Many of the Guild's members are frustrated by this situation. Doing this in the long term isn't a solution. Why don't we redirect the Guild's development and have more members develop in the Black Dragon Empire and Apocalypse Empire?" Shiuse Qiangwei suggested.
Although the Ling YI Society earned a lot of Coins from Stone Forest Town and Ling Yi City, the amount of top-tier equipment they could exchange for was limited. Not to mention, they had been constantly fighting Heaven's Burial and Blackwater. Their ability to obtain top-tier equipment and materials from Team Dungeons was growing weaker. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before Heaven's Burial and Blackwater destroyed the Guild.
"No! Since Heaven's Burial and Blackwater want to increase their bounties, we'll increase our bounties as well! Let's see who can outlast the other! " Shifeng shook his head. "Right, have Melancholic Smile help me prepare these materials at Candlelight. Also, gather all the Advanced Forgers."
"But we don't have much funds left. If we increase our bounties, I'm afraid we'll run out very quickly," Shiuse Qiangwei said worriedly.
Currently, all of Zero Wing's emergency funds, including the rental fees for merchant players in Zero Wing City, amounted to only 22,000 Gold. If he increased the bounty on Zero Wing's head, he didn't even know if this amount of Coins would last him a day. After all, if the bounty on Zero Wing's head increased, the number of players willing to hunt Zero Wing would skyrocket.
If the Ling Yi Society couldn't afford the bounties, it would deal a severe blow to the Ling YI Society's reputation.
