Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City:
The central street of Dark Night City was bustling with activity, and the Shops lining the street were overcrowded. Players from other cities and kingdoms visited Dark Night City to purchase items.
Compared to the neighboring kingdoms, the Dark Night Empire's business standards were far superior. Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment, which was extremely rare in other kingdoms, was common in Dark Night City. There were even Level 50 Fine-Gold Equipment available here. Only, its exorbitant prices deterred players.
Due to Dark Night City's prosperity, many players from neighboring kingdoms were willing to sell their treasures here, creating a snowball effect. Some large Guilds from neighboring kingdoms had even stationed their members in Dark Night City to purchase materials. The city's liveliness far surpassed that of a kingdom's capital.
Meanwhile, a towering Guild Residence stood in the middle of Dark Night City's central street. It was the size of a 10,000-seat sports stadium. Not only did one have to possess sufficient status to purchase this plot of Land, but the price was also frighteningly high, costing 50,000 Gold. It was one of the few large plots of Land in Dark Night City's central district.
"This Guild Residence is so luxurious! They're actually willing to spend so much money to construct a five-story restaurant! "
"That's true. I've heard that constructing a restaurant in a Guild Residence isn't cheap. Such a large restaurant would cost at least 10,000 Gold, right?"
"Over 10,000 Gold? You're underestimating Starlink. Starlink is a large Guild established by the Starline Corporation. The Guild spent 20,000 Gold to construct this Guild Restaurant and furnishings. Aside from the restaurant, Starlink has also constructed a training room. I've heard that the training room is enhanced by a magic array, and the Mana density inside is much higher than outside. Training in the training room will be far more effective than outside. It's a pity that only Starlink's members can enjoy such benefits. "
"Can we join Starlink, then?"
"Join? You newbies? Starlink is one of the Dark Night Empire's three up-and-coming Guilds. It's just as strong as super-first-rate Guilds Crimson Emperor and Unyielding Soul. Even if Starlink is frantically recruiting new members, it won't let any newbies join. "
…
While the players on the street discussed Starlink, a 100-man team wearing luxurious uniforms and mounted on cheetahs entered Starlink's Residence. The team's imposing aura made many of the expert players on the street envious, and they all wished they could join the team.
This team was none other than Starlink's main force. Not long ago, it had raided the fourth Boss of a Level 50, 100-man Team Dungeon. Now, it only needed to defeat the Final Boss before it could raid Level 50, 100-man Team Dungeons. At this stage of the game, Starlink was on par with the other two super-first-rate Guilds.
Meanwhile, three people stood in the Guild Leader's office on the top floor of Starlink's Guild Hall, looking at Starlink's main force members.
"Guild Leader, with this, our Guild's progress has caught up to Unyielding Soul's. It is only a matter of time before we surpass Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor." A Level 55, Tier 2 Shield Warrior carrying a silver cross shield said, smiling as he looked at Lu Xingluo.
Now that Starlink had secured an ore vein, it earned a large number of Magic Crystals every day. This allowed the Guild to maintain the magic array in the Guild's training room, allowing the Guild's experts to train and improve themselves.
More experts would eventually reach the Tier 2 Promotion Requirement. As long as Starlink had enough Tier 2 players, it was only a matter of time before Starlink obtained the First Clear of a Level 50, 100-man Team Dungeon.
Now that Starlink didn't have to worry about Magic Crystals, the Guild's expert nurturing speed was much faster than before. In just one or two months, Starlink might have more experts than Crimson Emperor and Unyielding Soul and become the Dark Night Empire's number one Guild.
"That's right. The struggle for control of Thorns Fortress is about to begin. Use all of the Magic Crystals you obtain to nurture Tier 2 players. Nurture as many Tier 2 players as you can. Once we secure control of Thorns Fortress, I want to see how Crimson Emperor and Unyielding Soul will compete with Starlink," Lu Xingluo said, chuckling.
"Understood. Please rest assured, Guild Leader. Before the contest for Thorny Fortress begins, Starlink will have more Tier 2 experts than Crimson Emperor and Unyielding Soul," the Shield Warrior with the silver cross shield promised.
While Lu Xingluo was discussing the contest for Thorny Fortress with his two subordinates, the sound of a message reached his ears.
"News about Dark Soul?" When Lu Xingluo saw the name of the sender, he clicked to read the message. Immediately, his expression darkened. "Has Dark Soul lost his mind over money? It's actually tripling its price to deal with a measly Ling YI Society! "
"Guild Leader, we've just received a report as well. Dark Soul's members seem to have encircled and annihilated the Ling YI Society's main force at the Eclipse Gate. However, Dark Soul suffered a crushing defeat and lost over half of its members. It must be related to this matter, "Dawn Web, a beautiful Level 55, Tier 2 female Elementalist, explained when she saw Lu Xingluo's rage.
"You're saying that Dark Soul encircled and annihilated the Ling YI Society's main force?" Lu Xingluo asked incredulously. "How is that possible?"
"It's true. Someone even uploaded a video of the battle to the Eclipse Gate's official forums. Right now, every player in the Eclipse Gate is talking about it," Dawn Web said as she sent a video of the battle to Lu Xingluo.
"I see." Lu Xingluo frowned as he watched the video. "It's no wonder why Dark Soul dared to oppose me."
"Guild Leader, are we still going to deal with the Ling YI Society?" Dawn Web asked.
"Of course!" Lu Xingluo said confidently. "They've only repelled a little over 2,000 of Dark Soul's members. To Dark Soul, this is only a scratch, yet they're asking for triple the price. Moreover, Dark Soul's strength is nothing compared to Starlink's. However, before we deal with Ling Yi, we need to secure Thorn Fortress first. Inform Dark Soul that they can forget about tripling the resources. However, I can change my conditions. As long as they annihilate the Ling YI Society, I'll give them an additional 5% of Thorn Fortress's shares.
"Also, tell Tiger Breaker that the Ling YI Society is nothing more than a Guild that started from scratch without any backing. The fact that it has become so powerful means that it must have a huge secret. If he doesn't want it, Starlink will take it from him personally. Don't let them get greedy!"
Lu Xingluo was very clear about the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw's standards in Dark Soul. They were only the fourth and fifth ranked adventurer teams in Dark Soul. Their defeat this time was mainly due to a misinformation and insufficient preparation. Meanwhile, Tiger Breaker wanted to use this opportunity to raise the price.
"I understand." Dawn Web nodded. She then contacted Dark Soul.
While Starlink discussed this matter, the various superpowers learned about the battle at the Eclipse Gate, one after another. As a result, Zero Wing's fame skyrocketed. At the same time, however, it also attracted the attention of quite a few observant players. They all suspected that Zero Wing's combat power was abnormal, especially the number of Tier 2 players it had.
For a time, the various superpowers no longer viewed Ling Yi as an ant. Instead, they viewed the Guild as a juicy piece of meat.
"Relay my orders! Find out the secret behind the Ling YI Society's strength!"
Many superpowers immediately issued this command after watching the battle video.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng had just finished their rest and arrived in Silverwing Town.
"Guild Leader, I've brought the 50 Advanced Architects you asked me to find," A Melancholy Smile reported as he looked at the Shifeng, who stood in an empty field.
The 50 Advanced Architects that had followed A Melancholy Smile to Shi Feng looked at the Shifeng nervously. They couldn't understand why the Shifeng Guild Leader had suddenly summoned them and so many Advanced Architects. With so many Advanced Architects, they could construct an entire town.
