Black Dragon Empire, Black Dragon City:
A 60-meter-tall mansion stood at the side of the bustling central street. One could say that it was a landmark building in the vicinity. It also symbolized the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's position in the Black Dragon Empire.
More than 10,000 players passed through the Pavilion, and even the lowest-leveled player lining up outside the entrance was Level 64. Most of them were geared in Level 60 Secret-Silver Equipment, while many were Level 65-plus experts in Level 65 Secret-Silver Equipment.
If such an expert were placed in a first-rate Guild, they'd be eager to recruit him as a core member. However, in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, he'd have to depend on luck to join the Pavilion and become an elite member.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's Guild Leader's office on the top floor of the Pavilion, an indescribable silence hung over the place.
"Damn it! Ling Yi actually has her own Chamber of Commerce! With this, not even Starlink can compete with Ling Yi financially! "Nine Dragons Emperor, who had reached Level 68, paled when he read the news he had just received.
His competition with Phoenix Rain had reached a critical juncture, and he hadn't expected such a situation.
He had planned to deal with Phoenix Rain from Ling Yi's side. If Ling Yi was in danger, Phoenix Rain couldn't help diverting some of her attention. However, not only had Ling Yi grown stronger, but Phoenix Rain would benefit as well.
Nine Dragons Emperor knew that Phoenix Rain had a share in Ling Yi's Candlelight.
Over a hundred Guilds had formed the Chamber of Commerce. Just the Chamber of Commerce's distribution channels had already surpassed those of ordinary superpowers. In addition, Candlelight had plenty of Master Players. One could easily imagine how much profit Candlelight would make in the future.
"Pavilion Master, both of us are frantically raising funds to secure Dragonheart Island's Shipyards and Land. If Phoenix Rain suddenly receives more income than the Candlelight Trading Firm, I'm afraid we'll be in danger," Martial Dragon said solemnly.
"I'm well aware of this. I never thought that an ant would develop to such an extent," Nine Dragons Emperor said, frowning as he looked at Ling Yi's profile.
Had he known that Ling Yi would develop to such an extent, he would've done everything in his power to strangle Ling Yi in the cradle. That way, Ling Yi wouldn't have become an obstacle in his competition with Phoenix Rain for the position of Great Pavilion Master.
"Candlelight has only signed a contract with the Chamber of Commerce. We haven't fully implemented yet. Why don't we take action and show those small Guilds the consequences of working with Yi?" Martial Dragon's Martial Dragon Pavilion pavilion pavilion pavilion, "he said, gesturing for Shi Feng to die.
"That's already useless. Even if we take out those small Guilds' main forces, they'll just move to the Bottomless Abyss. Not even Starlink can reach the Bottomless Abyss. Killing those small Guilds' elite and ordinary members won't be a problem at all," Nine Dragons Emperor said, shaking his head.
Small Guilds were different from large Guilds. They had very little protection. This was especially true for their ordinary and elite members. It was no exaggeration to say that Guilds did not care about them at all. They only provided these players with some Guild benefits. Even if these players were killed, they would not receive much compensation. The burden on the Guild was minimal.
As long as a small Guild could ensure the survival of its main force and core members, it could survive. This was why small Guilds were both difficult and easy to deal with.
Now that Ling Yi could rely on Stone Forest City to ensure the development of these small Guilds' main forces and core members, these small Guilds would have a much harder time dealing with them.
The only way to deal with these small Guilds was to engage in a war of attrition. Not only would that take up a lot of time, but it would also cost a lot of money.
"Is there really nothing we can do?" Martial Dragon asked.
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. God's Domain has suddenly gained a new Chamber of Commerce, and the pie is only so big. Now that there's another player to split the pie, many Chambers of Commerce won't sit still. Moreover, Starlink won't give up so easily. After all, this matter concerns Starlink's development in the Dark Night Empire," Nine Dragons Emperor said, sneering. Sneering, Nine Dragons Emperor continued, "Previously, Starlink was arrogant and refused to talk to anyone. Now, make a trip to Dark Night City and have a good talk with Lu Xingluo. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Starlink will be more than happy to help us."
Starlink was famous in God's Domain for its wealth. Originally, he only had a 4: 6 chance of defeating Phoenix Rain, but with Starlink's help, he had a 70% or even 80% chance of victory.
"Pavilion Master, you're amazing. You managed to bring the dead back to life. If Phoenix Rain and Black Flame find out about this, they'll probably go mad." Martial Dragon laughed. "I'll head to Dark Night City for a private discussion."
Following which, Martial Dragon left the Guild Leader's office and made his way to Dark Night City.
Meanwhile, in Stone Forest City, Shifeng had finally finished dealing with all of the Stone Forest City's matters. Now, he had A Melancholy Smile take over the city's management. Now, he just had to wait for a large number of players to swarm into Stone Forest City.
After dealing with these matters, Shifeng didn't waste any time. He immediately made his way to Candlelight's Forging Room to produce the Crystal Light Set and Advanced Mana Armor Kits.
Both the Crystal Light Set and Advanced Mana Armor Kits were items that Ling Yi and the various large Guilds desperately needed. However, the Crystal Light Set was simply too difficult to produce. Currently, he was the only one capable of producing the set. Even if he had Cream Cocoa or a Basic Master Forger make the set, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
Following which, Shifeng spent more than four days forging 26 Crystal Light Sets and over 1,300 Advanced Mana Armor Kits. Not only did Shifeng accumulate a large number of Forging Proficiency Points, but he had also leveled up to Level 77. His leveling speed was even faster than grinding monsters and questing in the fields.
Meanwhile, during these four days, Stone Forest City's player population had also increased to over 3,000,000. After deducting Stone Forest City's costs, Ling Yi's net income was roughly 100,000 Gold. Compared to Ling Yi's City and Silverwing Town, Ling Yi's income was much higher. Even if he paid off all of his debts, he would still have a surplus.
However, compared to Ling Yi's income, Ling Yi Society's core members leveled much faster.
Perhaps it was due to the God Mode Regional Dungeon, but most of the core members had already reached Level 68. Some of them had even reached Level 70. Not even the various superpowers' peak experts had reached Level 70.
Of course, Ling Yi's core members weren't just leveling up rapidly in God's Domain. Due to the Refinement Realm Legacies they had received in the real world, as well as their constant training, their leveling speed was incredibly fast. Although Fierce Snake was the only core member who had reached the Half-step Refinement Realm, more than a dozen core members had reached the Half-step Refinement Realm.
While Shifeng was instructing his core members in one of the Forging Room's Forging Room, Liang Jing approached him anxiously, a worried expression on her face.
