Shifeng couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the gray-robed elder.
A Tier 4 player!
This was a bona fide powerhouse that stood at the apex of God's Domain!
While Shifeng was in a daze, Shiuse Qiangwei quickly noticed the Tier 4 Great Wizard. Surprise flashed in his eyes, but a hint of disappointment quickly replaced it.
This was due to none other than the gray-robed elder's potential.
"What a pity." Shiuse Qiangwei could not help but sigh. "While Tier 4 classes are indeed powerful, it's a pity that a Secret-Silver NPC's potential won't allow him to go far in the future."
Normally, Bronze and Mysterious-Iron NPCs would reach their limit after reaching Tier 3. As for Secret-Silver NPCs, although they had much more potential than Bronze and Mysterious-Iron NPCs, they could only reach Tier 4 at most. Their chances of reaching Tier 5 were extremely slim.
Now that Tier 3 classes were becoming more common, it wouldn't be long before the various superpowers' peak experts began challenging their Tier 4 classes. At that time, Tier 4 NPCs wouldn't be able to do much, not to mention Secret-Silver NPCs. In terms of combat power, a Tier 4 Secret-Silver NPC could only rival a fully-equipped Tier 4 peak expert. Even if a Tier 4 Secret-Silver NPC was strong, it would be limited.
"Is it a pity?" Shifeng inwardly chuckled when he heard Shiuse Qiangwei's words.
"Guild Leader, we're really lucky this time. We actually have two Dark-Gold Personal Guards. Moreover, one is a Guardian Knight, while the other is a Cleric. With these two Personal Guards, we can form a raid party and raid high-level Field Bosses with peace of mind," Shiuse Qiangwei said, overjoyed.
Shifeng was a Count in White River City, and he had the authority to recruit up to four Personal Guards. He could easily recruit two Dark-Gold Personal Guards. After all, Dark-Gold Personal Guards were simply too rare. They were so rare that the various superpowers didn't even have one. Even if they did, it was only in a few superpowers.
"I'll pass on the two Dark Gold guards. I'll leave them to you and Qingxue to train. Both of you are now Counts, so you should have extra personal guard slots." The Shifeng shook his head. "As for me, I'll just choose the grey-robed old man."
Dark-Gold Guards were incredibly helpful to players, especially when players weren't afraid of death. If they could form a standard, four-man raid party, they'd be a dream.
However, Shi Feng normally operated by himself. Rather than having him lead the way, it would be better to have Shiuse Qiangwei and Gentle Snow lead the way. After all, both of them operated as a team. With two Dark-Gold Guards by their side, they would be able to provide the most assistance to both themselves and the team.
"Guild Leader, that gray-robed man only has the potential to be a Secret-Silver …" Shiuse Qiangwei could not help his shock when he heard Shi Feng's words.
As the Guild Leader of a Guild, he was the role model and face of the entire Guild. Even if he didn't bring a Dark-Gold Guard, he should at least bring a Fine-Gold Guard. If he brought a Secret-Silver Guard, even if it was a Tier 4 Great Wizard, he would most likely become a laughingstock.
"A Secret-Silver Guard's potential is already quite high." Shifeng could not help but chuckle when he heard Shiuse Qiangwei's words. "Not to mention, he's a Tier 4 Great Wizard. In a kingdom or empire, he'd be a Magistrate of a Main City. He's a true powerhouse."
Currently, Ling Yi already had over 30 Fine-Gold Guards. Hence, she acted as if Secret-Silver Guards were worthless. After all, most of the various superpowers only had two or three Fine-Gold Guards. Some even had fewer.
Normally, once a Secret-Silver Guard reached the Growth Potential, the various superpowers would treat them like their ancestors, not to mention a Secret-Silver Guard that had already reached Tier 4.
After all, Secret-Silver Guards only had a chance of reaching Tier 4. They weren't guaranteed to reach Tier 4. After all, the Tier 4 Promotion Quest was a massive turning point for both players and NPCs. It was extremely difficult for Secret-Silver Guards to complete the Promotion Quest.
Meanwhile, Fine-Gold Guards only had a higher chance of reaching Tier 4 than Secret-Silver Guards. This was also why many Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Guards had yet to reach Tier 3 even after reaching Level 100, much less reach Tier 4.
Fine-Gold Guards only had a 30% chance of getting promoted to Tier 4, while Dark-Gold Guards had a 40% chance of getting promoted to Tier 4. Of course, players had to expend a lot of resources and challenge their Tier 4 Promotion Quests again and again.
However, both players and NPCs needed a lot of time to reach Tier 4. If they failed their Promotion Quest, they would have to wait a month before they could challenge the Promotion Quest again. One could just imagine how long it would take for a Tier 4 NPC to reach Tier 4.
A ready-made Tier 4 NPC was simply unthinkable.
Unlike Tier 3 experts, a Tier 4 NPC would be considered a true powerhouse. In fact, Shi Feng had never heard of anyone obtaining a Tier 4 NPC in the past. At most, he had obtained a Tier 3 NPC.
Not only would this situation be embarrassing, but the various superpowers would also die of jealousy.
Of course, even the weakest Personal Guard he had recruited was Dark-Gold rank, so the Personal Guard's Growth Potential was slightly lower. However, it was still possible for him to improve it. After all, he had plenty of items that could increase an NPC's Growth Potential. Moreover, the gray-robed man before him already had a decent Growth Potential as a Secret-Silver Guard.
Following which, Shifeng recruited the old man as his Personal Guard.
[Versailles] (Ye Feng's Personal Guard) Gender: Male Age: 76 Loyalty: 75 Growth Potential: 74 Level 112 Tier: Tier 4 Great Wizard
When Shiuse Qiangwei saw Versailles' statistics, he was even more speechless. The other Tier 3 NPC Personal Guards he had recruited were all around Level 120. The Dark-Gold Guardian Knight she had recruited was even Level 121, yet Versailles was only Level 112.
Versailles wasn't even close to reaching Level 120, which was required for the Tier 4 Promotion Quest. He was far weaker than most mainstream Personal Guards.
"It's about time. The Lost Town's transfer should be complete by now. Gather the members of our main force immediately. Also, summon the newcomers and core members who have signed contracts with us. Our main development area will be in the Lost Town," Shifeng said after taking a look at the time.
"Guild Leader, are we only going to gather these members? What about the Lost Town's garrison? "Shiuse Qiangwei asked worriedly.
Most of the various superpowers' main force members had already reached Level 110, not to mention Ling Yi. The Cold Spring Forest was indeed no longer suitable for development. Moving to the Demonwolf Mountain Range's inner region was a better option.
The Demonwolf Mountain Range's inner region was far more dangerous than the Cold Spring Forest's Level 100-plus buffer zone. It would be far more difficult to station a town there than a city.
Yet, Shifeng had only summoned the core members and core members who had signed contracts with them. To put it simply, they had only recruited a little over 5,000 players.
While the Lost Town had indeed attracted far more players than before, the town had only been in a Level 100-plus neutral map. With the town's NPCs and Guild members' high levels, they could easily repel the monster tide. However, they had no advantage in the Demonwolf Mountain Range.
Setting aside the Levels and combat power of these 5,000 players, their numbers weren't even a fraction of the monster tide's army. They also didn't have the town's NPC guards. How were they supposed to fight the monster tide with hammers?
"It was indeed troublesome before, but don't we have him now?" Shifeng said as he pointed at Versailles. "That won't be a problem anymore."
"But he's only Level 112. Moreover, he has Secret-Silver Potential …" Shiuse Qiangwei said worriedly.
"Relax. He's more than enough." Shifeng didn't bother to explain. Instead, he said confidently, "Relay the message."
"Alright, I'll notify them right away …" Shiuse Qiangwei didn't know what to say when he saw how confident Shifeng was. He had no choice but to notify the Guild's core members and newcomers to prepare for the Lost Town.
Half an hour later, all of Ling Yi's contracted core members and newcomers teleported to the Lost Town in a snowy world using Guild Transfer Scrolls.
