Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City, Starlink's Residence:
As soon as Lu Xingluo entered the quiet Guild Leader's office, he noticed someone already seated inside. Bright Dawn, who followed behind Lu Xingluo, was surprised. Hurriedly, he stepped in front of Lu Xingluo.
Starlink's Residence was heavily guarded, and its rules were strict. Nobody dared enter the Guild Leader's office without the Guild Leader's permission. Not even Bright Dawn, one of Starlink's Vice Guild Leaders, was allowed to trespass.
Yet, there was someone sitting inside the Guild Leader's office.
Most importantly, this person didn't wear Starlink's Guild Emblem. Moreover, if Bright Dawn hadn't seen this person with his own eyes, he wouldn't have sensed this person's presence.
After all was said and done, he was a Void Realm expert. His five senses had already reached the pinnacle. He could even sense the presence of a fly, let alone a living person. Yet, when he looked at the silver-armored youth before him, he couldn't sense anything at all. It was as if the youth before him was a black hole.
Bright Dawn felt cold sweat drench his back as he looked at the youth before him. Yet, he couldn't sense any danger from the man.
Just as Bright Dawn was at a loss, Lu Xingluo spoke up.
"Chenhui, you can leave now," Lu Xingluo instructed when he saw the young man.
"Understood!"
Bright Dawn immediately realized that this person was someone Lu Xingluo knew. As he left the Guild Leader's office, he couldn't help but glance at the thin youth seated on the sofa.
After Bright Dawn left the Guild Leader's office, Lu Xingluo approached the youth and took a seat.
"Blue Mask, why are you here?" Lu Xingluo asked coldly as he glanced at the youth.
"I'm here to confirm the task that lord assigned to you, of course," the youth replied calmly, ignoring Lu Xingluo's indifference.
"Rest assured. Everything is going smoothly. I'll report back to you personally. Don't worry," Lu Xingluo said.
"Good, then." The youth nodded. Smiling, he continued, "However, I've heard that Ling Yi defeated Starlink. This is quite interesting."
"I'm just letting them live a little longer." Lu Xingluo's expression turned cold. "Once this matter is settled, I'll let them know what despair is!"
To preserve his trump card, he had no choice but to admit defeat. He definitely wouldn't let Shi Feng and the others off the hook. At that time, not to mention Zero Wing, even Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor in the Dark Night Empire would be finished.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm only talking about Ling Yi's Guild. Despite the fact that the Guild doesn't have any background, it has developed so quickly and has nurtured so many experts. Even now, the Guild is capable of defeating your subordinates. This is very interesting," the youth said, waving his hand.
At this stage of the game, every superpower had invested a lot of money and resources to develop its current strength. This was especially true when it came to nurturing experts.
However, Ling Yi clearly didn't invest anything, yet she was able to show amazing growth time and time again. Even a ghost wouldn't believe that Ling Yi didn't have any secrets.
"Why? Are you interested?"
Lu Xingluo was a little surprised to hear the youth's words. After all, Blue Assassin had never paid attention to outside affairs. He wasn't interested in anything.
"I'm not the one interested. That person is," Blue Assassin said, chuckling. "It's very likely that that person will have a chat with them."
"That person is interested?" Lu Xingluo was surprised.
Although he was the Starline Corporation's heir and had extraordinary status and influence, compared to that person, he was like the difference between heaven and earth. He had never thought that that person would be interested in a small fry like Ling Yi.
"That's right. So, don't act recklessly for now. Wait until after the discussion," Blue Assassin said.
"I understand." Lu Xingluo nodded.
Since that person wanted to take action, he naturally couldn't say anything about it. It would be fine if the discussion went well, but if it didn't, Shifeng's group would most likely be doomed even if he didn't take action.
While the Dark Night Empire's players were discussing the battle between Starlink and Ling Yi, Shifeng had arrived on Dragonheart Island in the Sea of Death.
Dragonheart City was bustling with activity. As Shifeng strolled through the city's streets, he could clearly sense the city's prosperity. It was much more prosperous than even the imperial capitals of empires.
As the only large-scale independent NPC city in the Sea of Death, many major powers had gathered here. Even the rarely seen neutral powers and naval powers had gathered here.
Neutral powers, in particular, were incredibly strong. Even superpowers wouldn't dare casually oppose them at sea.
The neutral forces were made up of non-human players. Not only were their racial talents superior to those of humans, but when they reincarnated into other races, the quests they completed were incredibly difficult. Only experts would be able to complete the quests. Hence, it was easy to imagine how strong a neutral force like this would be. Moreover, unlike on land, the sea didn't restrict non-human players in any way.
Whether it was their leveling speed or their improvement in strength, non-human players were much faster than human players. The only downside was that their Promotion Quests were far more difficult than human players.
Naval powers were even worse off. Ships spoke louder than words. Players' individual strength wouldn't be of much use here.
Because of this, Dragonheart Island was filled with all sorts of people. It was extremely difficult to establish a foothold on this island.
In the past, Shifeng hadn't had a chance to establish a foothold on this island. At most, he had led a team to challenge the World Tower. His Guild hadn't even had a temporary Residence.
However, in this life, Shifeng had arrived on Dragonheart Island much earlier than he had expected.
I missed the best time to prepare for my Tier 3 Promotion Quest in the past, but I won't miss it this time, Shifeng thought, suppressing his ecstasy as he gazed at a City Hall that was over a dozen stories tall.
The Promotion Quest to Tier 3 was extremely difficult. Not only did players need to reach a certain standard, but they also needed external items to do so.
Wondrous items abounded in Dragonheart City. As long as one could purchase a Shop in the city, they could purchase plenty of good items from the NPCs there. Dragonheart City was a stable source of income. Of course, the quality of the items one purchased depended on the Shop's location and rank.
In the past, many powers hadn't possessed a Shop in Dragonheart City. As a result, there had been a significant gap when it came to Tier 3 Promotion Quests. Naturally, Shifeng couldn't miss out on this opportunity.
Very quickly, Shifeng entered the City Hall. Under the guidance of an NPC, he arrived in an elegant reception room. The NPC administrator then took out a list of Dragonheart City's Shops for Shifeng to inspect.
For Shifeng, purchasing a high-star Shop was the most important thing right now. However, considering the amount of Ancient Gold he had on hand, his options were limited. If he wanted to purchase a 2-star Shop, he could only go to a grocery store. Shops like the Alchemy Workshop and Forging Workshop were out of the question.
Sure enough, the grocery store in the city district is the only one I can purchase. After browsing through the list for a moment, Shifeng suddenly realized how poor he was.
At a glance, practically every 2-star Shop sold for over 10,000 Gold. The more expensive ones even sold for over 30,000 Gold. No one would buy a 2-star Shop like this.
However, just as Shifeng was about to purchase a grocery store in the city district, he noticed the gray word "1-star Shop" at the bottom of the list. Immediately, Shifeng was stunned.
