Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
"It's so lively here!"
Shifeng exited the Teleportation Hall. The streets were packed with players and merchants hawking their wares. There were also all sorts of independent teams recruiting for Team Dungeons.
These independent teams were all very strong. Most of them were Level 56 or above, and there were even several Tier 2 players leading them. At this stage of the game, independent teams were very powerful. In other cities, independent teams were led by Tier 1 experts; very few had Tier 2 experts. However, outside the Teleportation Hall, the majority of independent teams were led by Tier 2 experts.
Moreover, aside from independent teams, Shifeng also saw quite a few adventurer teams recruiting. These adventurer teams were also very strong. On average, each team had ten or more Tier 2 experts. There were even well-known adventurer teams from other kingdoms recruiting in White River City.
Aside from the various adventurer teams, the players walking the streets were also very strong. Level 57 expert players could be seen everywhere. There were even several independent players geared in Level 50 Secret-Silver Equipment.
White River City's prosperity even surpassed Starmoon City's. It was nothing like an ordinary NPC city. The development of White River City had far exceeded Shifeng's expectations.
"The Ling YI Society is amazing. Not only did it manage to resist Miracle's assault in the Black Dragon Empire, but I've also heard that it recently joined the Secret Chamber of Commerce. Ling Yi is recruiting a large number of members this time. I must join the Ling YI Society!"
"That's right. I've also heard that many well-known adventurer teams have come to White River City to join the Ling YI Society. Even if they can't, they'll most likely find a way to become Ling Yi's subordinate adventurer teams. Recently, more and more players have been coming to White River City because of this matter."
"I know, right? Although the resources around White River City are mediocre, you can head directly to the Eclipse Gate from White River City. The resources you can obtain there are considerably good. Even if you can't join the Ling YI Society now, this is still the Ling YI Society's headquarters. They might even recruit more members in the future. If you level up and develop here, you'll have a better chance of joining the Ling Yi Society!"
…
As I walked down the street, the players on the street were all excitedly discussing the Ling YI Society.
In the past, although the Ling YI Society had been somewhat powerful, it hadn't had any background or funds. It had relied on itself to support itself. Many players and adventurer teams hadn't had confidence in the Secret Chamber of Commerce, but now, not only had the Ling YI Society displayed its strength, but it had also joined the Secret Chamber of Commerce.
This way, even without the support of a major corporation, the Ling YI Society wouldn't have to worry about funding for its future development. In fact, the Ling YI Society might even become the next super-first-rate Guild in the future. This was a massive opportunity for many adventurer teams and players.
After all, the positions of the various super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds had already been fixed. Climbing to the top was simply too difficult. Even geniuses would need a long time to do so. After all, the various super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds never lacked geniuses.
However, it was a different story for the Ling YI Society. The Guild had yet to stabilize, and its foundation was still lacking. It was also sorely lacking in talent. On the other hand, the Ling YI Society already had a glimmer of hope for its future. As long as they performed well after joining the Ling YI Society, they might even become one of the Guild's upper echelons in the future.
This way, they would have a much faster chance of becoming one of the upper echelons of a super-first-rate Guild than slowly climbing up the ranks.
How could any player or adventurer team with some strength possibly pass up on such an opportunity?
White River City instantly became the focal point of the entire Starmoon Kingdom. A large number of independent experts and well-known adventurer teams swarmed to the city. In the blink of an eye, White River City had become an NPC city with a player population of over ten million. The quality of White River City's player population was simply incomparable to that of other kingdoms' capital cities.
When Shi Feng returned to the Candlelight Trading Firm in White River City, he discovered that Zero Wing's Residence wasn't the only place bustling with activity. The Candlelight Trading Firm was also bustling with activity. At this moment, Liang Jing was currently reviewing the long line of Lifestyle players before the entrance.
This line stretched from one end of the street to the other. Moreover, every one of these Lifestyle players was quite impressive. Even the weakest among them was a Basic Forger, Basic Alchemist, and so on. There wasn't even a single Apprentice among them. Among them, there were even Advanced Lifestyle players that first-rate Guilds valued. The independent players that had come to White River City to develop themselves were stupefied. As for the other Guilds, their eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
To recruit an Advanced Lifestyle player, the various large Guilds would offer all sorts of generous conditions. However, very few would actually turn up. Now, however, Candlelight had already chased away over a hundred Advanced Lifestyle players …
"The news spread really fast!" Shifeng was astonished when he saw the thousands of Lifestyle players lining up and the Lifestyle players hurrying to the Candlelight Trading Firm.
He had to admit that joining a large Chamber of Commerce had many benefits. He had also never thought that the Secret Chamber of Commerce's name would be so useful.
Despite Candlelight not officially linking up with the Secret Chamber of Commerce, so many Lifestyle players were already willing to join Candlelight. Once the Chamber of Commerce officially linked up with Candlelight, Candlelight's products would begin selling through Secret's channels. At that time, the number of Lifestyle players seeking to join Candlelight would most likely multiply by several times.
However, Shifeng could understand why Candlelight was doing this.
In the past, although Candlelight had a rich foundation and was very capable of nurturing talents, it had very few channels to sell its products. Meanwhile, Lifestyle players relied on the commission from Candlelight's products to earn money. As a result, the number of Lifestyle players that could support Candlelight was limited. However, things were different now.
Not only did the Candlelight Trading Firm possess a solid foundation, but it also had a wide network of connections. This network was not something a first-rate Guild could hope to compete with. It was no exaggeration to say that even some super-first-rate Guilds' connections couldn't compare to Zero Wing's. In the eyes of Lifestyle players, joining the Candlelight Trading Firm was naturally the best choice.
Following which, Shifeng entered Candlelight's Special Workshop by himself and handed the Resurrection Potion Recipe he had obtained to Silent Wonder. As the Chief Alchemist of Candlelight, she would select a suitable person to learn the potion's recipe. Afterward, he began to craft the Void Field Sets.
After spending a little over an hour, Shifeng had crafted another five sets of Void Field Sets. These five sets would be enough to last many of Ling Yi's elite and expert players for quite some time. Once the Void Field Sets were gone, the Witch's Hill's forbidden land's outer area would be cleared. At that time, ordinary Tier 2 experts would be able to help other Tier 1 players level up.
Once he was done with his task, Shifeng returned to Ling Yi's Residence.
Hei Zi and the others were already seated in the second-floor hall of Ling Yi's Residence. They had been waiting for quite some time now, and every one of them was looking forward to the special stamina training session.
After all, one's combat standards were the foundation of everything. Moreover, the more they fought against experts, the more they realized this was the case.
In the past, they could rely on their Basic Attributes to suppress their opponents, but as they reached higher levels, the gap between them and their opponents would shrink.
"Commander, we're really lucky this time! We've just joined the Guild's main force, yet we've already received the Guild's internal training. I wonder what kind of guidance the Guild Leader will give us?" Seven Light, a young Tier 2 Swordsman, excitedly asked the scholarly middle-aged man beside him.
"I already said that I'm no longer Unbounded's commander. You can just call me Big Brother Stubborn Bone from now on," Stubborn Bone said, shaking his head. "However, we really are lucky this time. To think that the Sword King, Black Flame, would personally lead a team to train us. He probably wants us to learn some kind of special footwork or movement technique, right?" Stubborn Bones asked, speechless.
Every large Guild had its own internal training, such as secret combat techniques or lectures. In Stubborn Bone's opinion, learning a combat technique was more likely than not. After all, the Ling YI Society was famous for its abundance of combat techniques.
Currently, aside from Unbounded, Stubborn Bone and the other well-known adventurer teams that had joined the Ling YI Society a long time ago, such as Remnant Cloud and Graceful Moon, Firecloud Fox's commander and vice commander, were among the group. They were all curious to see what kind of training the Shifeng would give them.
"Guild Leader, everyone's here," Shiuse Qiangwei reported.
