After Shifeng gave Shiuse Qiangwei his instructions and disconnected the call, Shifeng contacted A Melancholy Smile.
He had A Melancholy Smile post an announcement about the Ling YI Society on the official forums, increasing the bounty on the Sky Burial Society once more.
Originally, the bounty for killing a normal member of the Sky Burial Society would be 40 Silver. Now, the bounty for killing an elite member would be increased from 2 Gold to 4 Gold, while the bounty for an expert member would be increased from 20 Gold to 40 Gold.
Moreover, the bounty had to be updated with a title.
Does the Sky Burial Society dare to challenge us?
As long as players killed one of the Sky Burial Society's experts, they could immediately purchase a Mount from an NPC. Even if they already had a Mount, they could use the Mount to purchase Level 45 Fine-Gold Equipment in the Auction House.
This reward was extremely tempting even for expert players. After all, no matter how hard an expert worked, they wouldn't earn even half of the bounty. Moreover, even if they died, as long as they could kill one of the Sky Burial Society's experts, they wouldn't suffer a loss.
"Guild Leader, have you lost your mind?" A Melancholy Smile's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he saw Shifeng's latest bounty. "Our Guild doesn't have that much money!"
This was no longer a bounty game. They were practically gambling with their lives!
As long as this bounty was released, a large number of expert players would definitely try to kill the Sky Burial Society's members. At that time, the bounty would be no laughing matter. With the income the Ling YI Society currently had, it simply couldn't afford the bounty. It would be suicidal and become a laughingstock for other Guilds and players.
"Relax. I'll think of a way to deal with the money. If we really can't afford it, we can sell all the equipment the Dark Gods Party dropped or pay an equivalent amount of the bounty," Shifeng said.
The current bounty was indeed quite a burden for the Ling YI Society, but it wasn't much of a burden for the Sky Burial Society. If this continued, it would only become more and more disadvantageous for them.
However, it was obviously not enough to rely on the Dark Gods Squad to hunt. After all, the Dark Gods Squad had too few members, and the funds they had were not on the same level. If they wanted to really hurt the Sky Burial Society, they would have to inflict 1000 damage to themselves and 800 damage to the enemy.
Fortunately, the Dark Gods' party had reaped a bountiful harvest from the Sky Burial Society. They had obtained over 400 pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment, over 700 pieces of Level 45 Fine-Gold Equipment, and over 2,000 pieces of Level 45 Secret-Silver Equipment. Not only had they obtained plenty of good equipment for Heaven's Burial's experts and elites, but the weapons and equipment they had dropped were also enough to sustain the Ling YI Society for some time.
Moreover, he had already dispatched the Dark Gods Party. With a large number of other players hunting the members of the Sky Burial Society, it would be easier for the Dark Gods Party to hunt the members of the Sky Burial Society.
Aside from these benefits, Mana Ore would also be a major source of income in the future.
Currently, the various large Guilds were in dire need of Mana Ore. The price of one piece had already reached a staggering 1 Gold, 20 Silver. Originally, one piece of Mana Ore only sold for 30 to 40 Silver. Meanwhile, the Boneless Land was a rich source of Mana Ore. It would not be difficult to obtain a large quantity of Mana Ore.
"I understand." A Melancholy Smile could only nod helplessly. Although she trusted the Shifeng Party very much, she still felt that this was a little too crazy.
Following which, A Melancholy Smile sent out a message.
Immediately, the players throughout the Starmoon Kingdom fell silent. A moment later, they went crazy and exclaimed in shock.
"All hail Ling Yi!"
"So rich! So, this is the Ling YI Society's foundation? "
"Crap! Is the Ling YI Society trying to go all out? Killing a Heaven's Burial expert is worth 40 Gold. I wonder if the Sky Burial Society's experts will kill themselves first, then claim the bounty from the Ling YI Society. "
"Crazy! The Ling YI Society is really going crazy this time! Many top-tier experts will be tempted by this price. "
"This won't do! I want to form a party and grind Heaven's Burial! Does anyone want to form a party? "
"Amazing! The Ling YI Society dares to do this! Even the Sky Burial Society will suffer a great loss this time."
"The Sky Burial Society has gone overboard this time. Even if they destroy the Ling YI Society, they won't have an easy time, either."
When everyone heard the Ling YI Society's sudden doubling of the bounty, they all sympathized with the Sky Burial Society. At the same time, they were also shocked by the Ling YI Society's generosity.
Nobody had expected the Ling YI Society to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
This was simply a madman's behavior!
Orc Empire, Ancient Rock City:
As the only player-operated city in the Orc Empire's inner region, an endless stream of players visited the city every day. Even the NPC cities within the kingdom's borders could not compare to the city's player population.
Although the city was bustling with activity, the meeting room in the Sky Burial Society's Residence was deathly silent. The large hall was filled with the Society's upper echelons, and every one of them wore gloomy expressions as they looked at Singular Burial, who sat in the Guild Leader's seat. They all felt the pressure bearing down on them.
Due to the hunting war, they had lost a lot of equipment. Even many of their expert players had died. It would be impossible for them to recover their levels in a short time.
However, this was not the worst of it.
They had gathered here because of the Ling YI Society's announcement.
Due to this announcement, the Sky Burial Society's death toll began to soar at an unprecedented rate …
"Lunatics! This Ling YI Society is a lunatic! "Singular Burial's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the latest death toll.
In less than half an hour since the Ling YI Society's announcement, the Sky Burial Society's death toll had exceeded 4,000. This number was much higher than the Ling YI Society's …
The indirect losses they had suffered were as high as 8,000 Gold. Of course, the Ling YI Society wasn't faring too well, either. They had to pay at least 10,000 Gold. In less than a day, the Sky Burial Society's expenditure would likely reach as high as 60,000 Gold, or even 70,000 Gold.
Even with the Blackwater Consortium's investment and the income from Ancient Rock City, Singular Burial Society's expenditure wouldn't be enough.
"Guild Leader, I've already investigated the situation. One of the reasons we've suffered so many casualties is that the Dark Gods parties have begun to move in the Orc Empire. Although we've tried our best to capture them, they're too fast. We haven't been able to catch them. On the contrary, we've lost quite a few people because of them," Daybreak Fog said. "In addition, our Guild's morale is very low right now. Some of our elite members have even withdrawn from the Guild …"
"Ling YI Society, huh?! Hei Yan, huh?! " Singular Burial gnashed his teeth as he read the report in his hands. "Since that's the case, let's see who can last longer!"
He had never thought that the situation would develop to this extent.
With the Ling YI Society's actions, the Sky Burial Society had no choice but to increase the bounty on the Orc Empire's head. Once the bounty increased, the Sky Burial Society would earn another large sum of money. Now, the funds they had planned to use to develop Ancient Rock City were gone …
However, he was confident that the Sky Burial Society's foundations weren't something the Ling YI Society could compare to. With the Blackwater Consortium's continuous investment, Ancient Rock City's player population, and Blackwater's support, he refused to believe that the Sky Burial Society couldn't defeat the Ling YI Society.
Elsewhere, the Shifeng had finally arrived at the Boneless Land with Ling Yi's internal members and the White Tiger Dojo's disciples.
As soon as the team arrived, they felt the power of darkness envelop them. Immediately, a heavy pressure weighed down on them. It felt as if a thick layer of fog had enveloped their souls. Moreover, their surroundings gave them an indescribable sense of danger. They felt as if they would die if they took the wrong step.
Faintly, a town with towering walls loomed in the middle of the thick fog.
"What's going on? Why is there a town here? "The Shifeng stared at the faintly discernible town in confusion.
