Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
After the Archangel Vatra sent Shi Feng back to White River City, he discovered that the city had undergone massive changes since his departure.
Although only a dozen or so days had passed since his return, he could already see experts from well-known adventurer teams on the streets. Even the weakest among these experts was Level 63, Tier 2, and they all wore Level 60 Secret-Silver Equipment. It was as if Level 60 Secret-Silver Equipment had become commonplace, unnoticeable by players.
Even Bronze Mounts were a common sight on the streets. Occasionally, he could even see players riding Mysterious-Iron Mounts. White River City was no less prosperous than the imperial capitals of empires.
The changes were so drastic that even Shifeng had trouble recognizing the city.
Moreover, most of the Guilds operating in White River City had been based in the Starmoon Kingdom. Now, however, the city was filled with Guilds from outside the Starmoon Kingdom. Among these Guilds, there was no lack of first-rate Guilds. Even first-rate Guilds' peak experts, who were rarely seen by ordinary players, could be found on the city's streets.
"So cool! That person must be wearing the Berserker's Dawn Light Set! "
"Look at that Elementalist! Amazing! He's wearing the Wind Spirit Set, a Level 60 Fine-Gold Set Equipment! I heard that only Level 60, 100-man Hell Mode Team Dungeons have a chance of dropping it! "
"So, this is White River City? Aren't the equipment here a little too good?! Even in the Black Dragon Empire's Black Dragon City, I've only seen a handful of players wearing Level 60 Fine-Gold Set Equipment. Why are there so many people here? "
The surrounding players looked at these first-time players in White River City as if they were country bumpkins. However, they had long since grown accustomed to this phenomenon.
After all, White River City's development was simply too fast. It could be described as changing with each passing day.
The city's rapid development was due to the activation of the Auction Arena System. As the only city in the neighboring kingdoms with an Auction House, White River City instantly became the center of the neighboring kingdoms. The various major powers flocked to White River City, vying for control of the city. Hence, the number of experts gathered in White River City exceeded one's expectations.
Aside from the various major powers' experts, the Auction Arena System also provided merchant players and many other experts with new development opportunities. Hence, many of them had rushed to White River City. As a result, White River City had become a super-large-scale NPC city with a player population of over 20 million. At the same time, the city had become the home of the various major powers in the neighboring kingdoms. Even second-rate Guilds couldn't rank in White River City.
As for weapons and equipment, even Level 60 Secret-Silver Equipment, which was extremely rare in other cities, was a common sight in White River City. Even Level 60 Fine-Gold Equipment, which was considered godly to many expert players, was not worth much in White River City. Only Level 60 Dark-Gold Equipment was worth a few extra glances in White River City.
. the city's Level 60, Level, White River City City, and players, City City's City City's City.
"The contest for White River City will officially begin in two days. Independent players like us will be in for a treat."
"I've heard that there are as many as four superpowers vying for White River City. I wonder if Ling YI Society will be able to defend the city? If they fail, the Ling YI Society's efforts in White River City will go to waste. "" Isn't that obvious?
Ling Yi definitely won't be able to defend the city. In the end, only one of the four superpowers will be able to claim White River City. After all, the contest for the Auction House is different from field battles. Players can't rely on external items. Only experts and external resources can be relied on. Ling Yi's accumulation in this regard is still too little. It's especially true when it comes to the number of peak experts. Ling Yi can't compete with any of the current superpowers. "
"That's true. If given another year or so, Ling YI Society might be able to contend with the other superpowers in terms of experts and resources. It's a pity that White River City's development speed is too fast. It's actually one of the first cities to get promoted. If it were a second or third city, Ling Yi wouldn't have any problems defending the city."
Currently, there was nothing in Star-Moon Kingdom that attracted more attention than the competition in White River City. Not only did this matter concern the control of White River City, but more importantly, this was also the first time the various major powers would truly compete against each other. Normally, they would pay attention to well-known experts, as well as the various emerging experts in God's Domain, as well as a platform for them to display their skills.
Normally, these superpowers could only determine the standards and rankings of expert players through small skirmishes or fights between a small number of experts. Such rankings were unfair. However, now that all the experts had gathered in one place, this was the perfect opportunity to determine the difference between the two superpowers.
At the same time, this was also an opportunity for countless independent experts to display their strength. After all, there were far too many experts in God's Domain who didn't have the opportunity to display their strength. Through the contest for White River City, these independent experts could display their strength to the various superpowers and use this opportunity to reach the pinnacle of their lives.
Although this might seem laughable, it was the best way to become famous overnight.
Currently, God's Domain's influence in the real world continued to grow. More capital was pouring into God's Domain. Hence, the demand for talents was increasing. If one could perform outstandingly in the contest for White River City, it wasn't impossible for the various superpowers to extend an olive branch to them.
As expected of an NPC city that got promoted to an Auction House in the early stages of the game. Its development speed and competitiveness are truly frightening. Shifeng was inwardly astonished as he looked at the players wearing Guild Emblems on the streets.
Along the way, he had already seen over 30 second-rate Guilds and as many as 10 first-rate Guilds. Even the imperial capitals of empires didn't have that many Guilds, yet these were only the ones he had seen. Who knew how many other powers were eyeing White River City?
In the past, Shadow hadn't had a chance to compete for an NPC city in the early stages of the contest for White River City. After all, just surviving the struggle between the various superpowers had been extremely difficult. Leveling up and upgrading equipment had already taken a lot of effort. How could they have had the strength to compete with others?
At most, he had listened to others talk about how powerful these superpowers were and how intense the competition was. He had also guessed which superpower would be able to capture the city.
Now that he had truly participated in the contest, Shifeng could not help but sigh ruefully.
Following which, Shifeng returned to Ling Yi's Residence, preparing to dispose of the materials he had obtained during this period.
However, when Shifeng entered the Residence's main hall, he suddenly discovered that the atmosphere inside the Residence was very strange. The atmosphere was heavy and gloomy. Moreover, many of the expert players present had disappeared.
"Youlan, did something happen to the Guild? Why does the atmosphere feel so strange? "Shifeng could not help but ask Youlan, who was organizing the Guild's information, curiously.
"Guild Leader, you're back!" Youlan rejoiced when she saw Shifeng's return. However, her expression quickly darkened as she continued, "Recently, Twilight Echo in the Storm Empire has encountered a crisis. Vice Guild Leader Shiuse Qiangwei doesn't wish to see the destruction of the Guild his family established. However, he also doesn't wish to implicate Ling Yi. Hence, he has temporarily resigned from his position as Vice Guild Leader and is helping Twilight Echo in his own name. Many of Twilight Echo's original members have followed him. I originally wanted to contact you, but I couldn't reach you."
"Twilight Echo is facing a crisis?" Shifeng could not help but ask when he heard Youlan's words. "What's going on?"
"I heard that Nature Hall is trying to devour the Storm Empire and turn all of the empire's Guilds into subsidiary Guilds. Twilight Echo doesn't want to accept this and is planning to leave the Storm Empire to develop. However, Nature Hall isn't willing to accept this, either. It has declared that Twilight Echo will disappear from God's Domain completely, which is why Twilight Echo is on the brink of destruction," Youlan explained.
"I see." Shifeng understood the gist of the situation. Smiling bitterly, he asked, "Is our Ling Yi really that unreliable?"
Twilight Echo was the foundation of Shiuse Qiangwei's family. Although Shiuse Qiangwei had left the family and was developing independently, if Twilight Echo fell, Shiuse Qiangwei's family would fall as well. However, the current Nature Hall was no longer the first-rate Guild it had been in the past. After receiving the support of a major corporation, it had chased the original super-first-rate Guilds out of the Storm Empire. After such a long period of development, it was easy to imagine how strong the Nature Hall had become.
Currently, Ling Yi had plenty of problems to deal with. If Shiuse Qiangwei visited the Storm Empire as Ling Yi Society's Vice Guild Leader, it would incur Nature Hall's wrath against Ling Yi. It would also cause unnecessary trouble for the Ling Yi Society.
"Guild Leader, should we send someone over?" Youlan asked.
