"Trial Emblems?"
"Why can that NPC trade with us all of a sudden? Didn't she say we couldn't trade with them? "
…
Lu Xingluo and the others were stunned when they heard the Elven beauty's words.
They had spoken with the Elven Temple's NPCs, and after asking around, they had confirmed that only 300 players were allowed to apply for the promotion every two hours.
Even the NPC Elven beauty, who acted as the exchange agent, had ignored them. She had only said that she was only dealing with nobles and above, yet this Elven beauty was treating the Shifeng with respect and taking the initiative to recommend them …
"So, there's actually such a method!"
Unyielding Heart and the others' eyes glowed when they saw the Shifeng purchase the Trial Emblems. They had never thought that the Shifeng would have such a method to complete their promotion.
"So, that's Ling Yi's Sword King, Hei Yan?"
Illusory Words, who stood beside the Shifeng, was inwardly shocked.
Currently, only the three Guilds in the Dark Night Empire possessed the keys to open the Sea of Trees. Nobody in the Dark Night Empire was more familiar with the Sea of Trees than they were, yet the Shifeng's performance made it clear that they were more familiar with the Sea of Trees than they were. They even held a special position in the Sea of Trees.
Under everyone's gaze, the Shifeng spent 450 Gold to purchase nine Trial Emblems and handed them to the nine Ling Yi members that had accompanied them.
Compared to directly registering for the promotion, purchasing the Trial Emblems was the equivalent of saving 10 Gold per player. At the same time, the players would have an additional choice of difficulty for their promotion, which was Normal and Hard. Normal Difficulty was equivalent to the normal promotion, while Hard Difficulty was an additional test.
Of the two, the Hard Difficulty Promotion Quest did not affect the 20 promotion slots available. There was no limit to the number of slots available. As long as one obtained the Trial Emblems, any player could challenge the Tier 2 Traveling Bard class. This was also what the Shifeng had planned from the very beginning.
After all, only after completing the Hard Difficulty Promotion Quest could one become a true Traveling Bard. Only by completing the Hard Difficulty Promotion Quest could one obtain the complete Traveling Bard Legacy left behind by the Elf King. If one chose to become a Traveling Bard during the Normal Difficulty Promotion Quest, they would only obtain a portion of the Legacy.
However, the Hard Promotion Quest was much more difficult than the normal Tier 2 Promotion Quest. It was the equivalent of Hell Mode, and if one attempted it without a certain standard and equipment, they would only fail the Tier 2 Promotion Quest. If they failed, they would have to wait a long time before they could attempt the Hell Tier 2 Promotion.
Hence, Shiuse Qiangwei had selected all of the Guild's experts who had reached the Trial Tower's seventh floor. All nine of them had grasped Intermediate Magic Arrays, and five of them had been extremely famous Tier 4 experts in the past. However, as independent players, the resources they had access to were very limited. Even if they joined a well-known adventurer team, they did not have enough resources to reach the peak of Tier 5.
As for the remaining four, they were all experts who had intended to join the various first-rate Guilds. Even the weakest among them had reached Tier 4, while the strongest had been Happy Wind, who had been a Tier 5 Traveling Bard in the past. However, after receiving an invitation from the Ling YI Society, they had all chosen to join the Ling YI Society.
Originally, with their current standards, it should have been impossible for them to clear the Hard Promotion Quest. However, all nine of them had obtained Primordial Souls, which could improve their physiques while they completed the quest. This would greatly increase their chances of success.
After the Shifeng handed the Trial Emblems to the nine players, Unyielding Heart and the others approached them.
"President Hei Yan, may I know if you can help us purchase the Trial Emblems? Unyielding Soul is willing to purchase them for 50% more. Of course, if that's not enough, we're willing to pay more," Unyielding Heart said, a little embarrassed as he looked at the Shifeng.
Originally, the Shifeng had been the one to compete with them for the Traveling Bard Promotion slots, but now, they had to purchase the slots from the Shifeng to increase the pressure on the Ling YI Society. Unyielding Heart was at a loss for words.
Long Soul and Hunting Blade, who stood beside Unyielding Heart, also felt ashamed of their previous attitude toward the Ling YI Society.
They had thought that the Ling YI Society had taken advantage of Unyielding Soul, but now, it would seem that it was thanks to the Ling YI Society that they could compete with Starlink …
"Sure enough, it really is President Hei Yan. Hello, I am Illusory Words of Crimson Emperor. On behalf of Crimson Emperor, I am also willing to purchase the Trial Emblems for double the price. May I know if you can help us, President Hei Yan?" Illusory Words asked softly as she approached Unyielding Heart.
When the Vice Guild Leaders of two super-first-rate Guilds simultaneously made a request to Xiang Shifeng, everyone present gasped. If players in the outside world learned of this, they'd definitely be shocked.
"Our Guild Leader is amazing! Now, two superpowers are asking for his help! "
"Of course! He's our Ling YI Society's Guild Leader!"
"Quick, look! Starlink's members are stupefied!"
The nine people who had obtained the Trial Emblems discussed among themselves, admiration filling their eyes as they looked at Shifeng.
Before they had joined the Ling YI Society, first-rate Guilds had been massive existences to them, not to mention super-first-rate Guilds. These were the virtual gaming world's overlords, yet two super-first-rate Guilds needed the Ling YI Society's help. No one would believe such a thing, yet it was happening right before their eyes.
"Since the two Vice Guild Leaders have spoken, I have no problems purchasing the Trial Emblems. As for the price increase, forget about it. I only hope that your Guilds can help me with one thing," Shifeng said, chuckling as he looked at Unyielding Heart and Crimson Emperor's Vice Guild Leaders.
"Help?" Unyielding Heart and Illusory Words were confused when they saw Shifeng's request.
Quite a lot of players wanted to take part in the class-change challenge. The two Guilds should have at least 1,000 players in total. Even if they only charged an additional 50%, the total would be over 25,000 Gold. To a first-rate Guild, this was a huge sum of money. If they charged a little more, they could even construct a town with that much money.
Yet, Shi Feng only wanted their help with one thing?
"That's right. I need your Guilds to help me with something. You can purchase as many Trial Emblems as you want," Shifeng said, nodding.
There was no limit to the number of Trial Emblems one could purchase. It was only a privilege for the Sea of Trees' nobles. It was the equivalent of not having to wait in line and getting a discount when applying for the Promotion Quest. There was nothing special about it. Moreover, even if the two Guilds purchased the Trial Emblems, it wouldn't pose any competitive pressure to the Ling YI Society. After all, the two Guilds weren't competing for the same item.
"May I know what you need our help with, President Hei Yan?" Illusory Words asked.
There were both big and small requests for help. Although the Traveling Bard class was important, Shifeng's request threatened the Guild's foundation. Naturally, she couldn't help him.
