"Compensation?" Shifeng could not help but chuckle when he heard Gentle Snow's words. "These Guilds sure reacted quickly."
Now that the Ling Yi Society had gained recognition for its strength, it was the perfect time for Ling Yi to develop in the Black Dragon Empire. However, resources were always limited. To obtain more resources, Ling Yi naturally had to occupy some of the other Guilds' resources.
Moreover, many Guilds in the Black Dragon Empire had previously provoked Ling Yi. It was perfectly justifiable for Ling Yi to take care of these Guilds. Nobody would say anything.
Now that these Guilds knew that Ling Yi had the ability to do so, although Ling Yi couldn't eliminate every Guild that provoked Ling Yi, on the off chance that Ling Yi offended one of these Guilds, the Guild would be doomed. Hence, these Guilds had come to establish good relations with Ling Yi.
"Should we have them come, then?"
Gentle Snow understood Shifeng's intentions. Although Ling Yi's Reputation had risen, it would take a long time for the Guild to develop. Moreover, it would require a large amount of funds. Rather than expending resources to annihilate one or two large Guilds, why not use this opportunity to earn some money and resources for the Guild's development?
"There's no need for them to come. Just tell them that second-rate Guilds will compensate them with 30,000 Magic Crystals, 50,000 Gold of rare materials, or the equivalent value of Land in major NPC cities. Third-rate Guilds will compensate them with 15,000 Magic Crystals, 30,000 Gold of rare materials, or the equivalent value of Land!" Shifeng said, smiling faintly. "If they don't, they'll have to bear the consequences!"
Although Ling Yi had won the battle against the Miracle Society with relative ease, he knew that this victory had been a close call.
At the end of the day, a war in God's Domain was a contest between experts and capital. Once the war began, it would be a waste of money. Ling Yi's victory this time was also due to the large amount of Magic Crystals and resources they had expended.
The Magicbreaking Crossbows were not so bad. They only had a limit on the number of times they could be used. However, it was a different story for the Basic Combat Devices. Once they were used, they would be gone. Meanwhile, Shi Feng had spent over 80,000 Magic Crystals to produce the Basic Combat Devices and Magicbreaking Crossbows. There was also the compensation for the Guild members' deaths.
In just a few days of entanglement with the Miracle Society, Ling Yi's pockets were emptied …
Fortunately, they had obtained the Manatite vein. Otherwise, the Black Dragon Empire would've been done for. It was just that the Miracle Society didn't know about this. If they knew how expensive the production of Basic Combat Devices and Magicbreaking Crossbows were, they would've attacked without hesitation.
"This price?" Gentle Snow asked worriedly when she heard Shifeng's offer. "Isn't this a little too high?"
At this stage of the game, most second-rate Guilds only occupied a few NPC cities. Even the more powerful ones only occupied a dozen or so NPC cities. Their influence was also limited. 50,000 Gold in resources and Land wasn't a big deal. Even a second-rate Guild would feel the pinch if they spent so much. However, 30,000 Magic Crystals was practically half of a second-rate Guild's stockpile.
Although Shi Feng now had many ways to obtain Magic Crystals, he also needed to spend Magic Crystals. This was especially true now that the survivors had returned. Magic Crystals would become even more important.
"It's fine. We just need to notify them," Shifeng said, chuckling. He did not elaborate further.
Although half of the Guild's Magic Crystal resources wasn't a small sum, it wasn't enough to stop the Guild from operating normally.
Moreover, he urgently needed Magic Crystals right now. Naturally, he wouldn't hold back.
Following which, Gentle Snow sent Shifeng's offer to the various large Guilds.
Immediately, the various large Guilds were enraged. Rare resources weren't a big deal. After all, every Guild had accumulated a significant amount of resources over the years. However, Magic Crystals were an important resource for a Guild's development.
"Damn that Ling Yi! Isn't his asking price a little too ruthless?! Why doesn't he just rob us?! "
"Guild Leader, what should we do?"
"Give it to him! There's no need for us to stand out. Although the Miracle Society isn't going to deal with them, the Orc Empire's Blackwater and Beast Emperor are still eyeing them. They definitely won't be as indifferent as the Miracle Society. "
When the various large Guilds received the notice, they were furious. After all, they hadn't earned any resources or money from the Resource Lands, yet they had to compensate so much. It was no exaggeration to say that they had suffered a huge loss from this transaction with the Miracle Society.
However, due to the Ling YI Society's current power, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and swallow this bitter fruit.
In less than three hours, the various large Guilds dispatched their representatives to deliver the resources Shifeng had requested to Ling Yi's Residence in Lake Heart City. Meanwhile, when Gentle Snow and the other upper echelons received these resources, they were ecstatic.
"Snow, our Guild is rich now!" Zhao Yueru exclaimed as she looked at the Magic Crystals and various resources in the Guild Warehouse.
This was compensation from over a dozen Guilds!
Among them, five were second-rate Guilds, and eight were third-rate Guilds. In total, the Guild had collected 270,000 Magic Crystals. Even to a superpower, that was a significant amount of wealth. Not to mention, the various resources and Lands they had collected added up to 490,000 Gold. Shi Feng had struck gold!
With so many resources, the Black Dragon Empire could recruit tens of thousands of new players. They could also use the resources to strengthen the Guild Town's defenses and upgrade Hidden Fog Town to an Intermediate Town.
With this, not only had they offset their previous losses, but they had also made a fortune.
"I thought it would take a few days to gather 200,000 Magic Crystals, but we've done it in one go." Shifeng could not help his excitement as he looked at the small mountain of Magic Crystals in the Guild Warehouse.
He didn't dare be careless about the Inferior Legendary Quest the Jealous Witch had given him. If he failed to complete the quest, the punishment would be no laughing matter.
Moreover, he was determined to get his hands on the Void Field magic array.
Domain Magic Arrays were extremely rare in God's Domain. As far as he knew, the Witch's Hill was his only chance to obtain one. If he wanted to obtain one elsewhere, he'd have to rely on luck.
The reason Advanced Domain Magic Arrays were so rare wasn't just because they could be used in Guild wars, but also because they were a powerful tool to plunder resources.
Once players reached Level 65, however, the various powers' resource acquisition speed would slow down significantly. The reason for this was that the monsters in the various resource maps would become increasingly dangerous. This wasn't because of the monsters' Basic Attributes but because their combat standards had improved. The more resource-rich a map was, the more obvious this change would be. Unlike before, when the monsters in every map were roughly the same, with only slight differences in Basic Attributes.
After Level 65, the monsters' combat standards in maps would increase according to the resource's rarity. At that time, the weakest monsters in the maps would be at the early stage of the Trial Tower's third floor, while the stronger ones could reach the early stage of the Trial Tower's fifth floor. These monsters would have powerful Basic Attributes and high combat standards. Most importantly, they would come in large numbers.
It was easy to imagine how the various large Guilds would react when faced with such a situation.
Moreover, Guild experts' Basic Attributes were significantly weaker than these monsters' Basic Attributes. If a battle broke out, it was easy to imagine the outcome.
Because of this, even if the various superpowers hadn't claimed Level 65 and above resource maps in the past, the various large Guilds wouldn't have had the strength to grind in those maps.
Hence, Domain Magic Arrays had become extraordinarily important. Whether it was for leveling up or grinding for resources, Domain Magic Arrays provided a massive advantage, not to mention Advanced Domain Magic Arrays.
