Starmoon Kingdom, Ling Yi City:
In a seven-story, high-class restaurant not far from Ling Yi's Residence, three cloaked players sat in a private room, quietly looking out the window at Ling Yi's Residence.
"Commander Cloud, the results of the battle between Miracle Society and Ling YI Society are out. This is the information I purchased from the Secret Pavilion regarding the Ling YI Society," the Half-elf said. He then sent the information to the tiger-man before him. "The battle in the Black Dragon Empire has ended with Miracle's withdrawal from the Black Dragon Empire."
"What? The Miracle Society lost? "Chopped Axe, the tiger-woman, was stunned." How is that possible? That's the Miracle Society we're talking about! The current Miracle Society is even stronger than the Miracle Society at its peak! How could they have lost? "
As a famous member of the Death God Workshop in the virtual gaming world, Chopped Axe had a deep understanding of the various superpowers. He had especially investigated the various superpowers' current strength and distribution.
Among them, the Miracle Society was one of the Death God Workshop's targets.
Not only had the Miracle Society rapidly expanded in God's Domain, but it had also recruited many famous experts in the virtual gaming world. The most famous example was the Witch of the West, who had greatly increased the Miracle Society's strength. Afterward, the Miracle Society had even secured a resource hub on the western continent. Currently, the Miracle Society lacked an opportunity to become a recognized Super Guild.
Moreover, as long as the Miracle Society became a Super Guild, it would rank in the middle of the Super Guild's strength.
Chopped Axe found it hard to believe that such a Guild had lost to Ling Yi.
"They have indeed lost. News of this matter has already spread throughout the Black Dragon Empire," Half-Elf Frost said. "The reason the Miracle Society retreated is that the Ling YI Society suddenly dispatched 200 experts with combat power close to peak experts. These experts are more than capable of contending with the Miracle Society. This caught the Miracle Society off guard. Knowing that continuing the battle would only be a waste of time and resources, the Miracle Society gave up."
"Two hundred experts whose combat strength is close to the peak? You must be lying! "Chopped Axe's first reaction was disbelief.
Two hundred top-notch experts, what kind of power was this?!
Ordinary super-first-rate Guilds could only reach this standard if they included monsters and peak experts. Moreover, they would only be able to reach this number if they included the help of monsters and peak experts.
"It's not a lie. It's true." At this moment, Light White Cloud, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "According to our reports, the Ling YI Society used the Basic Combat Devices to accomplish this feat. However, these Basic Combat Devices don't last very long. Moreover, the Ling YI Society has the even more frightening Magicbreaking Crossbow. With a dozen or so of these crossbows, even a Tier 2 Refinement Realm expert would be killed instantly. With enough crossbows, they might even be able to kill peak experts instantly."
"So, that's how it is. I was wondering how a Guild that suddenly appeared in God's Domain could possibly possess such power," Chopped Axe said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
If Zero Wing really had so many experts, it wouldn't be difficult for the Guild to deal with the Death God Workshop. Only, it would take some time. So long as the Death God Workshop didn't go overboard, the various superpowers wouldn't bother to deal with it.
"Even if the Dao has a time limit, this kind of power is still no small matter," Light White Cloud said, rolling his eyes at Chopped Axe. "Alright! We can return and report to the chief commander now. As for how we'll deal with Ling Yi in the Fairy Country, we'll leave that to the chief commander. "
After saying so, Light White Cloud took out a Return Scroll from his bag. He had no intention of lingering in Ling Yi City. Frost Rain and Chopped Axe nodded in agreement. They had never thought that Ninth Heaven would have such a powerful backer.
Meanwhile, after Shifeng returned to Ling Yi City, he immediately stored the various rare materials he had obtained from the Black Dragon Empire in Candlelight's warehouse. He then instructed A Melancholy Smile to recruit more Lifestyle players and expand Candlelight's operations.
Although Candlelight's development was progressing well, due to its limited materials, it could only nurture a limited number of Lifestyle players. Hence, the Guild hadn't been able to recruit as many Lifestyle players as it wanted.
However, after the battle in the Ice Jade Forest, Ling Yi had obtained over 400,000 Gold worth of rare materials. With this, Candlelight could easily recruit several thousand more Lifestyle players. Moreover, if Candlelight wanted to develop in the Black Dragon Empire and the Fairy Country, it would need a lot of manpower.
As long as he could develop the Candlelight Trading Firm in these two locations, the Candlelight Trading Firm's daily income would, at the very least, double. After all, the player population in the Black Dragon Empire and the Fairy Country far exceeded that in Star-Moon Kingdom. Meanwhile, the higher the player population, the higher the demand for the Candlelight Trading Firm. Even if the Candlelight Trading Firm couldn't become the number one trading firm in Star-Moon Kingdom, it could still earn a considerable amount of money.
As for the Guild's competitiveness, Shifeng wasn't worried at all.
Thanks to the Philosopher's Hand, despite A Melancholy Smile secretly using it, Candlelight had managed to nurture five Master Alchemists. Among them, two were Master Forgers, two were Master Engineers, and one was a Master Alchemist. Moreover, what surprised Shifeng the most was that, with the help of Titan City and the Philosopher's Hand, Silent Wonder had managed to create an Advanced Alchemy Recipe.
As long as she could create another Advanced Alchemy Recipe, she could become an Intermediate Master Alchemist!
Intermediate Master Alchemists were just as important as Intermediate Master Forgers. In fact, Intermediate Master Alchemists were even more important in Team Dungeons. After all, Intermediate Master Alchemists were already qualified to produce Master Potions. Unlike Basic Master Alchemists, their success rates weren't as low.
If a Basic Master Alchemist could produce Master Defensive Potions or Magic Resistance Potions, they would be of great help in Team Dungeons and Field Team Quests.
"Guild Leader, the virtual shop auction has ended, but not a single company or corporation is willing to rent it. On the other hand, the virtual shops in the other two towns are selling like hotcakes …" A Melancholy Smile said worriedly as he looked at Shifeng. "Although we've earned some Credits from selling equipment to cover the expenses of the training center, it won't be a long-term solution."
"No one is willing to rent it?" Shifeng was a little surprised when he saw the information A Melancholy Smile had provided him. "Aren't these two towns' development momentum a little too fast? Over 40 companies and corporations are already willing to purchase them. At this rate, they'll become Intermediate Towns in less than ten days."
The development speed of the two towns had far exceeded Shi Feng's expectations. The defensive structures the two towns had invested in could already rival those of an Intermediate Town. Moreover, the most surprising thing was that both towns had defensive magic arrays. These defensive magic arrays were the reason why the towns had been able to survive the invasion of monsters in the fields. These defensive magic arrays were also the reason why the various corporations and corporations were so confident in their development.
"Guild Leader, you're still in the mood to joke? We've only just entered the training center, and we're spending a lot of money. The Credits we earn from the Guild's equipment will only last us five or six days at most," A Melancholy Smile said, exasperated.
She had already seen Liang Jing's financial report, and it was frightening.
She wasn't spending Credits at all. She was practically spending paper.
"The expenditure is that high?" Shifeng was astonished when he saw the daily expenditure. He had never thought that Ouroboros's expenditure would be so frightening. Ouroboros's current expenditure was roughly the same as Shadow's in the past. Moreover, Ouroboros had only just begun to develop. They would have to recruit more internal members in the future, and their expenditure would only continue to increase. Smiling faintly, he said, "Since that's the case, let's see who can outlast the other."
Following which, Shifeng had A Melancholy Smile sell some of the Level 50 Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Equipment he had crafted. At the very least, they should be able to last for a while.
Although the Primordial Energy had spread throughout the Witch's Hill, strengthening the monsters in the fields and reducing the combat power of players, it still took time for monsters to evolve. They wouldn't complete their evolution in one go. As time passed, they'd only grow stronger.
After dealing with these matters, Shifeng used the Seven Luminaries Ring to teleport to the Million Forest's teleportation array. He then used a Magic Crystal to teleport to the Otherworld Gate.
As soon as Shifeng appeared, the Jealous Witch appeared as well. She hovered in the air, quietly looking down at Shifeng.
"Young adventurer, why have you returned so soon?" the Jealous Witch asked as she looked at Shifeng.
"Esteemed Lady Witch, I have completed the quest you gave me. Here are the 200,000 Magic Crystals you requested." After saying so, Shifeng took out all 200,000 Magic Crystals from his bag space. Instantly, a small mountain of Magic Crystals appeared before him.
After Shifeng handed over the 200,000 Magic Crystals, the Jealous Witch waved her hand, and the Magic Crystals disappeared without a trace. At the same time, the gigantic Otherworld Gate released a dazzling glow, and the Primordial Aura poured out of it like a flood.
