After Shifeng gave his instructions, Shiuse Qiangwei was speechless as he watched the video call end.
Although increasing the Sky Burial Society's bounty sounded easy, the cost involved was not something several tens of thousands of Gold could easily cover.
Ling Yi City was indeed very profitable. Currently, the city's entrance fee alone reached over 5,000 Gold.
However, the current competition with Heaven's Burial had left the Ling YI Society struggling to maintain its current status. Without the support of over 100,000 Gold, increasing the bounty would be impossible.
But now, where were they going to get more than a hundred thousand gold?
"Big Sis Aqua, are we really going to increase the bounty?" Yaya asked carefully as she looked at Shiuse Qiangwei.
Currently, the Ling YI Society had over 20,000 Gold left as emergency funds. If they used this funds, the Guild might fall into despair.
"Announce it to the public." Shiuse Qiangwei took a deep breath. Somewhat helplessly, he said, "Even if we don't increase the bounty, the remaining top-tier equipment in our Guild Warehouse won't last much longer. If we don't increase the bounty, we'll only consume our top-tier equipment even faster. Might as well fight it out with Heaven's Burial and Blackwater!"
Following which, Yaya posted the news on the Starmoon Kingdom's official forums.
The moment the news went public, it immediately attracted the attention of every player in the Starmoon Kingdom. In the blink of an eye, the post had over a million views.
"Is the Ling YI Society trying to fight the Sky Burial Society? They're actually doubling their bounty just like the Sky Burial Society's! "
"It seems the Ling YI Society is getting serious!"
"Not only does the Sky Burial Society have the Blackwater Consortium's help, but how is the Ling YI Society so rich as well?"
"Maybe it's a last-ditch effort to scare the Sky Burial Society. I've heard that not only did the Blackwater Consortium dispatch experts to help the Sky Burial Society, but they've also contributed 200,000 Gold. Including the income from Ancient Rock City, the most popular city among the neighboring kingdoms, how can the Ling YI Society win with just Ling Yi City?"
"Indeed. I've heard that Ancient Rock City's player population has already exceeded six million. Although there's no entrance fee, the Sky Burial Society's repair fees are extraordinarily high. There's also the city's accommodation fees. Even if the Guild can only collect a portion of the fees, the income is no laughing matter."
"Let's place a bounty on each other. The higher the better. Now I'll have money for my mount!"
…
None of them were optimistic about Zero Wing's chances against Heaven's Burial. However, they were inwardly ecstatic. After all, opportunities to make a fortune like this didn't come around every day.
Orc Empire, Ancient Rock City, Sky Burial's Residence:
"Guild Leader Singular, it seems the Ling YI Society has plenty of funds. Are you sure you don't have any problems?" Lei Jingyang could not help but frown when he read the Ling YI Society's latest announcement.
To deplete the Ling YI Society's funds as quickly as possible, they had doubled their bounty. As a result, their expenditure had increased severalfold. Lei Jingyang estimated that they had to spend around 50,000 to 60,000 Gold a day, which was practically equal to Ancient Rock City's daily income. The situation was not as simple as it seemed.
"Rest assured, Young Master Lei. I know what the Ling YI Society is capable of. Based on the spies I've sent, the Ling YI Society doesn't have much money left. Just maintaining the current situation is already difficult. This is merely their final struggle," Singular Burial said nonchalantly. "Besides, I've already reached an agreement with the Blackwater Consortium. Not only have they invested 200,000 Gold, but they will invest another 300,000 Gold in the future. With 500,000 Gold, we'll have more than enough to whittle down the Ling YI Society. Not to mention, the Orc Empire has opened a new mine. That mine contains a Magic Iron vein, which has a certain chance of producing Magic Crystals. So long as we secure that mine, even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, which supports the Ling YI Society, won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Demonic Iron veins were one of the few veins in God's Domain capable of producing Magic Crystals, and the Demonic Iron vein was only a dozen or so hours away from Ancient Rock City. Ancient Rock City was the closest city to the Demonic Iron vein. Although the other superpowers had discovered the vein as well, they were too far away from it.
There was no way they could compete with the Sky Burial Society.
"I guess you're right. However, just in case, we should act quickly. The other superpowers are very interested in this mine. Although we have a geographical advantage, it won't be easy to secure it," Lei Jingyang said, nodding. He felt that he had overestimated the Ling YI Society.
No matter how powerful the Ling YI Society was, it did not have the support of any major corporation. It had relied on itself.
Although the Ling YI Society had a close relationship with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Feng Qianyu, Feng Qianyu did not represent the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Ling Yi was still ten years too early to compete with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
Meanwhile, in White River City's Candlelight, as soon as Shifeng entered the top-floor Special Forging Room, A Melancholy Smile and nearly 100 Advanced Forgers were already waiting for him.
"Guild Leader, I've brought all the materials you requested from the warehouse. In addition, I've also instructed Candlelight to purchase them in bulk." A Melancholy Smile approached Shifeng and gestured to the various materials stacked in the Special Forging Room.
The materials in the Special Forging Room were precisely what Shi Feng needed to forge the Conqueror's Armor.
The Conqueror's Armor's production process was very complex. The most time-consuming process was smelting and purifying the materials. Even a forger who had not learned how to forge the Conqueror's Armor could do the job. However, after considering the purity of the materials, Shi Feng decided that it would be better to have an Advanced Forger do the job. This way, he only needed to forge the Conqueror's Armor directly.
This would save him a lot of time.
"Good! From now on, don't do anything else. I just need you to finish smelting these materials. " Shifeng nodded. He then asked, "Right, how are the Lunar Potions on the market?"
"The Lunar Potion?" A Melancholy Smile said, shaking his head. "Although the Lunar Potion is a common potion, more players are exploring ruins. Demand for the potion has skyrocketed. However, the Lunar Potion's main material, the Moon Soul Flower, is very rare. Hence, the Moon Soul Flower is extremely expensive. Each flower costs 6 Silver, while the Lunar Potion sells for 12 Silver. Although we've purchased some Moon Soul Flowers to produce the Lunar Potion, we only have a little over 2,000 bottles."
Currently, the various large Guilds in God's Domain desperately needed the Lunar Potion. However, the Moon Spirit Flower was extremely rare. Obtaining it in bulk was extremely difficult. Just the fact that the Candlelight Trading Firm had over 2,000 bottles was already frightening.
"It's finally starting." Shifeng smiled. The price of the Moon Soul Flower was much higher than he had expected. He then took out the Space-time Herb Garden and Epic Spatial Bag from his bag and traded them to A Melancholy Smile. "Let's turn these Moon Soul Flowers into Lunar Potions and sell them. Give the money we earn to Aqua to deal with the current situation."
Ever since he had obtained the Space-time Herb Garden, he had continuously used it to plant Moon Soul Flowers. Including the Herb Garden's increased survival rate, the Moon Soul Flower's survival rate had risen to 25%.
With each harvest, he could harvest over 15,000 Moon Soul Flowers. Thus far, he had accumulated over 350,000 Moon Soul Flowers. With 100 flowers per stack, he had a total of 3,521 stacks of Moon Soul Flowers.
When A Melancholy Smile saw the stacks of Moon Soul Flowers in her bag, her jaw dropped.
It was extremely difficult to obtain several dozen stacks of Moon Soul Flowers on the market, yet Shifeng had over 3,000 stacks. Her bag was nearly full …
