"Complete Tier 3 Legacies of the various major classes?"
Both Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart were stupefied when they heard this. They all stared at Xiang Shifeng in disbelief.
Blue Gown, one of Crimson Emperor's genius newcomers, especially, felt that Shifeng was simply spouting nonsense.
Throughout God's Domain, the various kingdoms and empires had sealed off all Tier 3 Legacies, treating them like treasures. The outside world had no way of probing them. Players like herself could only obtain Tier 3 Legacies from a small number of Legacies in neutral maps.
Now, however, Shifeng was telling her that she could obtain a complete Tier 3 Legacy. How could she possibly believe this?
"President Hei Yan, are you telling the truth?" Illusory Words could not help asking.
If it were something else, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, in God's Domain, tiers were everything. Levels were secondary.
Setting aside Tier 4 players, the various superpowers' current predicament was the difficulty of completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests. In fact, the various superpowers even used the number of Tier 3 players they had to determine their strength and foundation.
If what Shifeng said was true, and there were complete Tier 3 Legacies inside the Secret Covenant Tower …
If that was the case, then this matter was simply too shocking!
If news of this spread, it would most likely cause a commotion throughout God's Domain.
Even though many players had already reached Level 100-plus, very few had actually completed their Tier 3 Promotion Quests at this stage of the game.
If they could obtain a complete Tier 3 Legacy, the difficulty of completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests would decrease significantly. This was also why NPCs had a much easier time completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests than players.
If the difficulty of players' Promotion Quests decreased, the number of Tier 3 players completing their Tier 3 Promotion Quests would definitely skyrocket.
"You can verify it yourselves later," Shifeng said, chuckling. "However, before that, we need to confirm whether or not we're willing to cooperate."
"Unyielding Soul will do it!" Unyielding Heart said without hesitation.
"Naturally, Crimson Emperor won't miss this opportunity," Illusory Words said, nodding. Somewhat worriedly, she continued, "Even if we work together, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to seal off Sky Spring City, not to mention the Secret Covenant Tower's true secret."
Sealing off an NPC city wasn't an easy task. After all, players could freely teleport into NPC cities. Players like herself couldn't stop these players from doing so. At most, she could stop the players inside the city from leaving and kill any that dared to do so.
However, players could also use other methods to leave the city. The simplest method was to use Teleportation Scrolls, just like Shifeng. If they used Teleportation Scrolls, they wouldn't be able to find them.
The second reason was the complete Tier 3 Legacies in the Secret Covenant Tower. If their two Guilds dispatched a large number of people to collect the Tier 3 Legacies, the various superpowers' spies would most likely discover their presence very quickly.
At that time, it would be even more difficult for them to seal off Sky Spring City. In other words, it would be impossible.
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as you agree to cooperate, the rest will be much easier." Shifeng chuckled. He then took out a faint-gold token and explained, "This is Sky Spring City's Guild Token. Our Guild, Ling Yi, has already garrisoned Sky Spring City and obtained a portion of the city's management authority."
"A portion of the city's management authority?" Illusory Words's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the Guild Token.
NPCs managed NPC cities in kingdoms and empires. This was also why the various superpowers could compete with each other for control of the city. However, if one possessed the city's management authority, even if it was only a portion of the city's management authority, other powers could forget about snatching it away.
In other words, Sky Spring City had already become Ling Yi's property.
"So, this is the privilege of an official Guild garrisoning a city?" Envy flashed in Unyielding Heart's eyes.
He had to admit that this privilege was truly amazing.
With the passage of time, it was only a matter of time before Sky Spring City surpassed the other Guilds.
Although a Guild City's development potential and future value were extremely high, NPC cities still dominated God's Domain at this stage of the game. This was because NPC cities were simply too convenient to travel between. Moreover, NPC cities also had all sorts of Shops and Auction Houses. Players and the various superpowers simply couldn't do without these things.
Occupying an NPC city was the equivalent of obtaining an endless gold mine. Moreover, one wouldn't need to manage the city to generate massive profits. This was something superpowers like Unyielding Heart dreamed of.
"That's right. This is the privilege of a Guild officially recognized by the War God's Temple," Shifu said, not hiding anything. "With this token, I can activate Sky Spring City's magic restriction, preventing all teleportation tools from being used within the city. This way, players will have to walk out of Sky Spring City when they leave the city."
"In addition, for the sake of keeping the complete Tier 3 Legacies in the Secret Covenant Tower a secret, our three Guilds will only need to send their main forces to collect them. In reality, it's pointless to send a large number of players. Ordinary Tier 3 teams simply can't survive in the depths of the Secret Covenant Tower, much less search for complete Tier 3 Legacies.
"Of course, we can't keep this secret forever. However, let's keep it a secret for as long as we can for now."
Both Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart nodded in agreement. They felt that this was their only option.
As long as their two Guilds obtained the complete Tier 3 Legacies before the other superpowers, they'd have a huge lead over the other superpowers. The longer they could keep this secret, the more advantageous it would be for them.
"Let's sign a contract, then," Shifeng said as he took out two Guild Contracts.
Originally, he had intended to invite the Secret Pavilion to help him. However, the Secret Pavilion was a Guild that focused on business. It had always been aloof from worldly affairs. If the Secret Pavilion suddenly sealed off an NPC city, it would cause too much of a commotion.
Hence, Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor were more suitable for this task. After all, these two Guilds were currently weak. It was normal for them to work together and seal off an NPC city to compete for resources. Even if they found out that the two Guilds were doing this for the Secret Covenant Tower, they would, at most, think that leveling in the tower would be faster.
As for sealing off Sky Spring City permanently, Shi Feng had never considered such a thing.
After all, Ling Yi desperately needed money. Sealing off Sky Spring City to gain a Guild advantage was one thing, but if the lockdown continued, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to make money.
Meanwhile, although he couldn't earn money from other players and powers by sealing off Sky Spring City, he could still earn a lot from Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor. In fact, he could earn even more if he invited the Secret Pavilion …
Unyielding Soul, Crimson Emperor, and the Secret Pavilion all had Guild Residences in Silverwing City. Compared to teleporting from other NPC cities to Sky Spring City, teleporting from Silverwing City was much cheaper. Each teleportation cost only a little over 1 Gold. Moreover, Ling Yi would earn half of the teleportation fee.
If he teleported from NPC cities in other kingdoms or empires, he would have to pay at least 3 or 4 Gold.
At that time, Ling Yi could take advantage of the opportunity to earn a large sum of money from Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor. After all, many of the two Guilds' players would be heading to the Secret Covenant Tower to level up. Ling Yi wouldn't have to worry about not being able to make up for the loss of NPC income.
Only, continuously transferring money to the two Guilds wasn't a long-term solution. After all, the two Guilds had a limited number of players and Coins.
Following which, Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart represented their Guilds and signed a cooperation contract with Shifeng.
The contract was very simple. Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor would completely seal off Sky Spring City from the outside. Aside from the two Guilds' main force members, no other members of the two Guilds were allowed to enter the Secret Covenant Tower's 30th floor or below until the tower's secret was discovered.
At the same time, Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor would share the cost of the Magic Crystals required to activate Sky Spring City's magic array.
This condition was very disadvantageous for Zero Wing and Unyielding Heart. They would have to contribute both manpower and manpower. However, Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart, the two Vice Guild Leaders of Zero Wing, had no objections. After all, Shi Feng had given them an opportunity to surpass the other superpowers. Even without their two Guilds, Zero Wing could still seek cooperation with other superpowers.
Meanwhile, the only one they could cooperate with was Ling Yi.
After the three parties signed the contract, Illusory Words and Unyielding Heart immediately returned to their Guilds to discuss the matter of sealing off Sky Spring City with their Guild upper echelons. They also needed to make arrangements for the Secret Covenant Tower.
As this matter was of great importance, the two Guilds had no choice but to act cautiously. They would still need some time to seal off Sky Spring City.
After instructing Fire Dance, Youlan, and the others to prepare for the Secret Covenant Tower, Shifeng decided to log out of the game and rest after seeing that he had nothing else to do.
Although staying online for more than 24 hours did not affect Shifeng's current strength, it was still necessary for him to train his body every day.
Ling Yi's headquarters, top-floor lounge:
As the virtual gaming cabin slowly turned on, the sunlight outside had long since illuminated the room. It was already noon, the hottest time of the day.
"Guild Leader, you're out," Liang Jing suddenly called out. Joyfully, she said, "Miss Muxin has been waiting in the reception room for some time now. She said that she's going to hand over everything we agreed on today. Moreover, she's going to inject 300 million into Ling Yi for free."
300 million!
Even without Coins to sell, this amount of Credits was enough to sustain Ling Yi for some time.
"She sure came quickly." Shifeng was slightly surprised by the news.
Originally, Shi Feng thought that he would have to wait a few more days. After all, Frost Heaven's contribution this time wasn't simple. Setting aside the three Upper Zone reserve slots, just the remaining 50 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids weren't easy for Frost Heaven to obtain.
"Do you want to meet her now?" Liang Jing asked.
"Of course." Shifeng nodded. "I'll pack up and head over immediately."
