The moment Ling Yi City's teleportation function was revealed, not only had it attracted the attention of the various major powers, but a large number of merchant players had also expressed interest in setting up shop in Ling Yi City. Some Guilds in the neighboring kingdoms and empires had even expressed interest in reaching a private agreement with the Ling YI Society.
Shiuse Qiangwei had never expected this situation.
These Guilds were all willing to sell their current Level 45 top-tier equipment to the Ling YI Society at a price lower than the market price, allowing them to establish a temporary Guild Residence in Ling Yi City. As for the 40% discount on the teleportation fees to Ling Yi City, these Guilds would pay with a portion of Magic Crystals.
Although the mainstream players of God's Domain had already surpassed Level 40, they were still quite a distance away from Level 45. Even the elites of large Guilds were only around Level 45. Hence, Fine-Gold Equipment of Level 45 and above was still extremely rare. Although such equipment was available on the market, its price was very high. Moreover, there were very few Fine-Gold Equipment available. Even if one were willing to spend money to purchase such equipment, they wouldn't be able to purchase much.
However, the fact that these large Guilds were willing to trade their Level 45 top-tier equipment had exceeded Shiuse Qiangwei's expectations. Not only would this solve their financial problems, but it would also solve their Guild Warehouse's equipment problem. After all, with a 20% discount on the teleportation fees, they could still make a significant profit.
"Guild Leader, three first-rate Guilds and 11 second-rate Guilds have expressed their willingness to cooperate. If we sign a contract with them, the Guild's supply of equipment will no longer be a problem," Shiuse Qiangwei said excitedly as he looked at the report in his hands.
Currently, the most critical factor in the war against the Sky Burial Society was not funds, but equipment. Every time a player died, they would lose a piece of equipment. Sometimes, the Sky Burial Society's members would resort to underhanded means, resulting in even more losses. As a result, Guilds would compensate these losses with GCPs. Meanwhile, Guild members would use these GCPs to exchange for weapons and equipment in the Guild Warehouse. Hence, the Guild Warehouse's supply of weapons and equipment was considerably depleted.
If the Guild Warehouse ran out of weapons and equipment to exchange, the Guild's GCPs would become meaningless. It was only a matter of time before the Guild collapsed.
If she could replenish her equipment, she was fully confident that she could continue the war against the Sky Burial Society.
"So many large Guilds?" Shifeng was slightly surprised when he read Shiuse Qiangwei's report. He hadn't expected the Four Towers of Elements to be so effective. "Alright, but they have to pay at least a quarter of the teleportation fee. Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation!"
Although the Four Towers of Elements' teleportation function was excellent, it consumed Magic Crystals. If these Guilds wanted to teleport a large number of players, nine Mana Crystals wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. Moreover, he didn't have that many Magic Crystals to spend. Hence, by paying one-fourth of the Four Towers of Elements' teleportation fee, he could offset the Magic Crystal consumption.
"I got it. I'll go talk to them." When Shiuse Qiangwei saw that Shifeng had agreed, he immediately hung up and contacted the guild leaders of these guilds.
Meanwhile, in the Ling YI Society, due to the sudden rise of Ling Yi City, the originally gloomy atmosphere in the Guild lightened. The Guild's members also grew more confident that the Ling YI Society could defeat the Sky Burial Society. After all, they could already imagine the future of Ling Yi City. It definitely wouldn't lose to the Sky Burial Society's Ancient Rock City by much.
Currently, the various kingdoms' Guilds and players desperately wanted to travel to the Ore Empire to earn a large number of Contribution Points. However, due to the long journey, they had no choice but to give up on the idea. Ling Yi City, on the other hand, could solve this problem.
All it would cost was some money. However, compared to the money spent, the Contribution Points and leveling speed would be much faster. After factoring in the matter of the Ore Empire, the neighboring kingdoms and empires had formed a strategic alliance. They had long since eliminated the exorbitant teleportation fees, making it much easier to travel to Ling Yi City.
Suddenly, everyone in the Starmoon Kingdom, who originally didn't have high hopes for the Ling YI Society, felt some hope for Ling Yi City.
Meanwhile, while Shiuse Qiangwei and the various Guild Leaders competed over the contract conditions, Shifeng had finally learned how to draw a new Advanced Magic Array and began to forge the Conqueror's Armor.
Although the Ling YI Society had secured both money and equipment, defeating the Sky Burial Society wasn't an easy task. Not to mention, the Sky Burial Society also had the Blackwater Consortium's help.
Shi Feng didn't think that the Ling YI Society could do much to Heaven's Burial and Blackwater with its current strength. After all, the difference in the number of experts between the two Guilds was simply too massive. As for the financial strength of the two Guilds, it was needless to say.
This was an unchanging truth in God's Domain!
Otherwise, the various large Guilds wouldn't have placed so much emphasis on nurturing their experts.
Now that I've grasped the magic array, the next step is to increase my success rate. Although it's a little wasteful, it's still necessary to improve the Blacksteel Insignia. After checking his Conqueror's Armor's success rate, Shifeng made his way to White River City's Bank.
The Conqueror's Armor's Level 50 Fine-Gold ranked equipment was slightly more difficult to forge than Level 50 Dark-Gold Equipment. Even as a Master Forger, Shi Feng's success rate was only 18%. Even with the assistance of various other factors, he could only raise his success rate to 27% or 28%.
Although the Conqueror's Armor's success rate seemed high, in reality, he'd be fortunate to succeed in forging even one out of five pieces. The Conqueror's Armor's forging process was extremely complex, and the materials required to forge the armor were not cheap. The total cost was roughly 50 Gold. With that amount of money, he could purchase high-quality Level 45 Fine-Gold Equipment on the market.
In addition, he needed some rare materials to forge the Conqueror's Armor, so the number of pieces he could forge was considerably limited.
With such a low success rate, Shi Feng didn't want to take the risk.
If he really wanted to forge the armor, he'd have to raise his success rate to 30% at the very least.
His only option was to use the Holy Grail's Power of Evolution. The Holy Grail's Power of Evolution could only be used once every ten days.
Very quickly, Shifeng entered the Bank's Advanced Warehouse and carefully retrieved the Holy Grail, the Ling YI Society's greatest secret weapon.
Originally, Shifeng had intended to keep the Holy Grail as a precaution, using it to upgrade certain items with special abilities to Epic rank. However, he couldn't care less now. Immediately, he retrieved the Blacksteel Insignia and scanned it with the Holy Grail.
As a purple mist flowed out of the Holy Grail and enveloped the Blacksteel Insignia, the sound of a system notification reached Shi Feng.
System: Do you wish to permanently lose 1,000 HP to evolve the Blacksteel Insignia?
"It can't be, right? Even this requires 1,000 HP?" Shi Feng was slightly astonished.
The Blacksteel Insignia was only Fine-Gold rank. Even if it evolved, it would only reach Dark-Gold rank. However, the HP it would lose was the same as the Holy City's Insignia.
Meanwhile, losing 1,000 HP was no laughing matter. It was the equivalent of losing 50 points of Endurance permanently. Even Tier 2 players would have to increase their levels to make up for this loss. Moreover, the success rate wasn't 100%. There was a considerable chance of failure.
However, Shifeng did not hesitate to agree to evolve the Blacksteel Insignia.
In the past, he might have hesitated, but not now. After all, he had already obtained the Dark Iron Bloodline. Every time he leveled up, his Basic Attributes would increase slightly more than players of the same tier. Moreover, the higher his level, the greater the increase. He could quickly make up for the 50 points of Endurance he lost.
Following which, Shifeng clicked "Agree."
Purple mist emerged from the Holy Grail and enveloped Shi Feng's body. Immediately, Shi Feng's HP permanently decreased by 1,000 points. Meanwhile, the Holy Grail released a purple glow as strands of purple mist flowed into the Blacksteel Insignia.
Suddenly, the Blacksteel Insignia released a dazzling golden glow that enveloped the entire Private Warehouse.
