Star Valley, Starlight Fortress:
As Shifeng and the others returned to the Starlight Fortress to rest, they were surprised to see the fortress's bustling streets.
The Starlight Fortress's streets, which had been sparsely populated, were now packed with players. Moreover, some of these players hadn't even reached Level 100 yet. These players hawked their wares, selling all sorts of Magic Resistance Potions and Resistance Equipment. There were even players selling Level 100-plus Secret-Silver Weapons and Equipment. It was hard to believe that this was a Small Fortress that had been operating for less than a week. Instead, it looked more like a Medium Fortress that had been operating for several months.
"Why are there so many players here?" Thunderbeast was stunned and confused when he saw the flood of players on the streets.
He clearly remembered that, before they had left the Starlight Fortress, aside from Divine Tribe's members, there hadn't been many players in the Starlight Fortress. After all, the Starlight Fortress's entrance fee and the fortress's living expenses were exorbitant.
Just staying in the Starlight Fortress for an additional day cost one Magic Crystal. Even expert players couldn't afford such a price, much less ordinary players.
In Thunderbeast's opinion, Shifeng would be lucky if the Starlight Fortress could maintain its daily operating expenses.
Yet, when he looked at the players on the streets, he realized that they were practically overflowing with wealth. Moreover, all of them were Magic Crystals. This was even more profitable than mining a third-tier ore.
At this moment, let alone Thunderbeast, even Hellscream was flabbergasted.
Even if the Demon God's Palace's activation attracted a lot of players to Star Valley, it shouldn't have allowed the Starlight Fortress to develop so quickly. Just what is going on here? Hellscream was confused as he observed the players on the streets.
He had long since expected that the Starlight Fortress would rise to prominence in Star Valley. After all, when the Demon God's Legacy in the Demon God's Palace became available, very few players on the western continent wouldn't be tempted. To obtain the Legacy, players naturally had to develop in Star Valley.
The Starlight Fortress was the best place for players to rest. Although it was expensive and required Magic Crystals, it was nothing compared to the Demon God's Legacy.
However, the system announcement had only been announced for less than half an hour. How could so many players have gathered in such a short time?
"Commander, the Mana here seems to have changed. Not only do I feel that my affinity with the Mana here has improved slightly, but I also feel that …" "I can even feel the Three Supreme Elements in the ambient Mana here …" a Tier 3 Elementalist asked Hellscream.
"Three supreme elements? Doesn't that mean the environment here is starting to resemble that of ancient times? "Hell Rush couldn't help but grow excited when he heard Shi Feng's words." Is that true? "
Ordinary players might not know what effects the ancient Mana environment had on players, but as the commander of the Infernal Legion, Shi Feng's understanding of God's Domain was top-tier.
If things were as simple as they had been in ancient times, they would have a much easier time unlocking their Mana Bodies. After all, players' Mana Bodies were composed of the seven main elements. Without the Three Supreme Elements, unlocking their Mana Bodies would be several times more difficult.
"Guild Leader, what did you do? Isn't this a little too amazing? So many players have come to the Starlight Fortress. You're probably earning over 200,000 Magic Crystals a day, right? " Shiuse Qiangwei asked Xiang Shifeng as he looked at the crowded street. "With so many Magic Crystals, we won't have to worry about crafting the Dark Demon Set anymore."
The Dark Demon Set was a Dark-Gold Set Equipment, and it required a lot of rare materials. Aside from these rare materials, it also required Magic Crystals …
Crafting a single Dark Demon Set Equipment cost roughly 10,000 Magic Crystals. Including the rare materials, which normally cost Magic Crystals to purchase, crafting a single Dark Demon Set Equipment cost at least 20,000 Magic Crystals. Ordinary powers couldn't even dream of crafting such a set equipment.
Previously, Zero Wing had purchased a large number of materials and fought a series of battles with Divine Tribe, which had cost a lot of money. In fact, Zero Wing had already exhausted all of its Magic Crystals. Developing the Starlight Fortress in the future would be very difficult.
After all, the Starlight Fortress was a massive Magic Crystal devouring machine. Aside from the Magic Crystals needed to maintain the Summoning Tower and fortress prison, the fortress's magic array was a massive drain on Magic Crystals.
They had to invest at least 30,000 Magic Crystals a day just to maintain the Starlight Fortress's magic array and maintain the fortress's Mana and defenses.
For this reason, they had even borrowed some Magic Crystals from Divine Tribe. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have enough Magic Crystals to maintain the fortress's operations.
Now, however, the Starlight Fortress definitely had over 200,000 players. That was the equivalent of earning over 200,000 Magic Crystals a day. After deducting the various expenses, they could earn over 100,000 Magic Crystals a day.
That was 100,000 Magic Crystals a day!
Even Ling Yi couldn't earn 100,000 Magic Crystals a day by relying on Stone Forest City, Ling Yi City, and the ore vein.
"I didn't do anything. It's just that there are more astute players these days," Shifeng said, chuckling when he saw Shiuse Qiangwei's excited expression.
As an ancient fortress, the Starlight Fortress could slowly absorb the Three Supreme Elements from the outside world once it was officially operational, restoring the fortress's environment to its ancient state. Although this process would take a long time, it was still very valuable to God's Domain's players.
Not only would the fortress be useful to players who hadn't fully unlocked their Mana Bodies, but it would also be useful to players who wished to reach higher tiers.
After reaching higher tiers, one's understanding and control of the seven Supreme Elements would become the most basic requirement. Otherwise, even after reaching a higher tier, one would remain at the bottom of their peers.
As for the Dark Demon Set, Shi Feng had indeed worried about it.
Producing a few sets wouldn't be a big deal, but mass-producing them would cost enough Magic Crystals to make even the various superpowers vomit blood.
Fortunately, the Starlight Fortress was developing well. Otherwise, he would only be able to look at the Dark Demon Set.
Of course, having the materials was one thing. If he wanted to produce the Dark Demon Set by himself, he would need at least two Advanced Master Forgers to guarantee his success rate. Otherwise, the cost of producing a single set would be enough to cripple a first-rate Guild.
While Shifeng was speaking, a beautiful figure led a party of Level 106-plus peak experts to Shifeng's side.
This beautiful figure was none other than Fithalia, the commander of the Divine Hymn Legion.
However, Fithalia had actually lost one level. She had fallen from Level 107 to Level 106. Moreover, a faint aura of death still lingered around her. She was currently in a Weakened state.
Shifeng and the others were stupefied when they saw this.
"President Hei Yan, I've finally found you," Fithalia said solemnly as she looked at Shifeng.
"Did something happen?" Shifeng asked curiously when he saw Fithalia's solemn expression.
Many areas in the Star Tomb were isolated from the outside world. Only players in those areas could communicate with each other. However, in Shi Feng's opinion, with a superpower like Divine Tribe guarding the Starlight Fortress and the Divine Dragon's protection, there shouldn't be any problems. Hence, he hadn't left anyone in the Starlight Fortress.
"Mythology's people have come. Not only do they want Divine Tribe to hand over our temporary Residence, but they also want Ling Yi to hand over 51% of the Starlight Fortress's shares," Fithalia said.
"What's your level, then?" Shifeng wasn't surprised that a Super Guild like Mythology had set its sights on the Starlight Fortress. However, he was more surprised that Fithalia had lost a level.
"It's nothing. I fought with their people and lost," Fithalia said. "That's exactly what I wanted to say. I don't know what kind of power Mythology has obtained, but those people are actually capable of completely concealing their auras. Even when they're fighting inside the fortress, the Divine Dragon can't detect them for some time. If they cause trouble inside the fortress, I'm afraid the entire Starlight Fortress will fall into chaos …"
"Even you aren't a match for them?" Hellscream was momentarily stunned when he heard this.
Shi Feng was well aware of Fithalia's strength. She was definitely on par with him. Even Mythology's old monsters wouldn't have an easy time killing Fithalia. Not to mention, Fithalia had guards following her at all times. Logically speaking, it should be impossible to kill her.
"A method to completely hide one's aura?" Shifeng could not help but fall into deep thought.
He knew plenty of methods to hide one's aura, but he couldn't think of any that could escape the Divine Dragon's detection for a short time.
"Mythology's people also want me to pass on a message. They will return after the Demon God's Palace opens. They hope that Ling Yi will consider the offer seriously. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Fithalia felt a headache coming on. Not only were Mythology's people frighteningly strong, but they were also capable of hiding their auras. If a fight broke out, the Starlight Fortress would suffer unimaginable damage.
