As soon as the Jealous Witch finished speaking, the sound of a system notification flooded Shifeng's mind.
System: Congratulations! You have accepted the Inferior Legendary Quest, "Witch's Original Sins." Quest content: Collect 100,000 Primordial Crystals in 30 days. Quest reward: Runic Armor Design.
After the system notification repeated three times, the Jealous Witch vanished from Shifeng's sight as if she had never been there. Now, Shifeng stood alone before the Otherworld Gate.
"Collect 100,000 Primordial Crystals in 30 days?" Shifeng frowned as he fell into deep thought.
He had never thought that this Inferior Legendary Quest would be so ruthless!
Although it was possible to obtain Primordial Crystals in the Witch's Hill, the chances of monsters dropping Primordial Crystal Fragments were very low. Moreover, only Chieftain ranked monsters and above had a chance of dropping Primordial Crystal Fragments.
Even so, a Chieftain ranked monster's drop-rate was less than 3%. Furthermore, he needed ten Primordial Crystal Fragments to synthesize one Primordial Crystal. In other words, he'd have to collect one million Primordial Crystal Fragments …
It would've been fine if there hadn't been a time limit, but there was still a time limit.
With less than 100,000 Guild members in Ling Yi City, collecting 100,000 Primordial Crystals in 30 days was a pipe dream.
It seems I have no choice but to gather the Guild's strength and give it a try. After giving the matter some thought, Shifeng decided to increase the number of Guild members in Ling Yi City.
Fortunately, there was no penalty for failure. This meant that even if he failed the quest, the penalty wouldn't be severe. It would be a pity if he gave up on the quest.
Even if Epic Equipment was standard equipment, Dark-Gold Equipment couldn't compare to it.
God's Domain's standard Epic Equipment was vastly different from standard Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold Equipment. In terms of Attributes, standard Epic Equipment wasn't the slightest bit inferior to standard Epic Equipment. The only difference between standard Epic Equipment and standard Epic Equipment was the Additional Skills it carried. In terms of Additional Skills, standard Epic Equipment was far inferior to standard Epic Equipment.
Even so, Epic Equipment was extraordinarily valuable to the various major powers. This was especially true now that Epic Equipment was so rare. Epic Equipment Forging Designs were even more valuable.
If it were a genuine Epic Equipment Design, it would be impossible to mass-produce the design. Secondly, it would be extremely difficult to produce. Even an Intermediate Master Forger would only have a small chance of success. However, the amount of materials wasted was not something first-rate Guilds could afford. Only superpowers could afford to do so.
Standardized equipment, on the other hand, was a different story. The design of standardized equipment was designed to be mass-produced. Hence, the requirements for materials were not particularly high. Most importantly, the difficulty of producing standardized equipment was much lower than that of ordinary Epic Equipment. Even a first-rate Guild could afford to produce standardized equipment with just the success rate of an Intermediate Master Forger, not to mention Ling Yi.
Following which, the Shifeng took out a Guild Transfer Scroll, intending to return to Ling Yi City to begin their preparations.
At this time, players from all over the Starmoon Kingdom had flocked to Ling Yi City, causing the city's player population to skyrocket. Every player on the city's streets was in a state of excitement as they waited for the Primordial Heart to descend. Many adventurer teams had even begun purchasing Magic Scrolls, potions, and various field supplies. Once the Witch's Hill changed, these adventurer teams would scramble for the opportunity to obtain the new expansion pack.
For a time, Ling Yi City was incomparably lively.
"Guild Leader, good news! Due to the new expansion pack, Ling Yi City's player population has exceeded 10,000,000!" Shiuse Qiangwei excitedly reported when he saw the Shifeng return. "Because of this, God's Domain's Seventh Street's Chamber of Commerce has contacted us and invited us to join its Chamber of Commerce Alliance."
In God's Domain, aside from Combat Guilds, there were also Lifestyle Guilds. However, unlike Combat Guilds, Lifestyle Guilds focused on nurturing Lifestyle players, improving their standards, and producing various products and tools. Some large Lifestyle Guilds had even established their own Chambers of Commerce.
Meanwhile, these Chambers of Commerce were also existences that could not be underestimated. Only, these Chambers of Commerce had never interfered with the affairs of Combat Guilds, so not many players knew about them. Even so, their influence in God's Domain was significant. Some Chambers of Commerce could even influence the economies of kingdoms and empires.
Among these Chambers of Commerce, the top Chambers of Commerce's influence spanned across a dozen kingdoms and empires. They even held more wealth than some superpowers. Many up-and-coming superpowers relied on these Chambers of Commerce for funding and resources.
Among the various Chambers of Commerce, Seventh Street was one of the top Chambers of Commerce.
It was extremely difficult to join an alliance formed by these Chambers of Commerce. Normally, only superpowers or large Guilds with abundant resources qualified to join. Ordinary first-rate Guilds didn't qualify at all.
"What are their conditions?" the Shifeng could not help but ask.
Shi Feng was very familiar with God's Domain's large Chambers of Commerce. If one wished to join one, they needed to pay a certain price.
"They want us to provide access to at least five Shops and two virtual Shops in each Guild Town. These seven Shops must be scattered throughout the Guild Town. In addition, they want us to sell 30% of the Otherworld Gate's unique resources to the Chamber of Commerce at market price," Shiuse Qiangwei said.
"That's a little high." Shifeng shook his head. "Tell them that Ling Yi will provide a maximum of three Shops and one virtual Shop in each Guild Town. As for the Otherworld Gate's unique resources, we'll sell them 20% at most. Moreover, the price must be 30% above market price. Otherwise, there's no room for negotiation!"
To secure the Chamber of Commerce's resources, one needed to pay a certain price. However, the price would vary. It would depend on whether or not the price was worth it.
Setting aside the fact that Zero Wing currently ruled over Star-Moon Kingdom and possessed a Guild City like Zero Wing City, just the Otherworld Gate's unique resources alone was a bountiful source of income for Zero Wing. Moreover, the Otherworld Gate's unique resources were very difficult to purchase on the market, and Zero Wing City was located in the Witch's Hill. No other Guild in the Witch's Hill could compete with Zero Wing in terms of access to the Otherworld Gate's resources.
Ling Yi's 30% share of the Otherworld Gate's resources was no laughing matter, not to mention selling them at market price.
"This …" Shiuse Qiangwei hesitated.
Joining Seventh Street was an extremely rare opportunity. After all, the Chamber of Commerce's influence spanned over a dozen kingdoms and three empires. If he could join the Chamber of Commerce, Candlelight's income would rise to a whole new level.
Yet, Seventh Street's offer was so low …
However, seeing Shifeng's firm attitude, Shiuse Qiangwei had no choice but to reply to Shifeng's offer.
Elsewhere, Shifeng had instructed Shiuse Qiangwei to start recruiting members in Ling Yi City. Meanwhile, he returned to Candlelight's Special Forging Room and carefully retrieved the Void Field the Jealous Witch had given him.
