In response to Divine Shadow's question, Yu Luo simply smiled faintly and nodded.
"Mhm. Thanks to President Hei Yan's help, I managed to get promoted."
However, Divine Shadow still couldn't believe his ears when he heard Yu Luo's affirmation. However, the life aura Yu Luo radiated couldn't be faked. This difference in Life Rating wasn't something Basic Attributes could make up for.
"Team Leader Yu Luo, you're too amazing!" Cleansing Flame, who stood beside Yu Luo, was similarly stunned. After recovering from her shock, she exclaimed, "Currently, Autumn Plant is the only Tier 4 player on Dragonheart Island. If you get promoted to Tier 4, you'll become the second Tier 4 player on Dragonheart Island! If the commander finds out about this, he'll definitely be overjoyed!"
In the current era, Tier 3 players were no longer experts who could rule the world. Instead, Tier 4 players ruled the world.
If a power gained a Tier 4 player, its status and authority would skyrocket. In fact, it might even become a local overlord. At that time, even NPC powers wouldn't dare provoke it casually.
When Yu Luo saw that Divine Shadow was still in a daze, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Vice Commander Divine Shadow, can I go with President Hei Yan now?"
"You're already a Tier 4 player. Naturally, I can't stop you. Moreover, there's indeed no need to stop you," Divine Shadow said, sighing. He never thought that Yu Luo would grow into an existence he had to look up to in the short time he hadn't seen her. He then continued, "However, I'll go with you. Due to the system's major update, Dragonheart Island is no longer the same. With me leading the way, you'll have less trouble."
"In that case, I'll go with you, Vice Commander Shadow. Aside from the commander, I hold the highest position in Dragonheart City. I'm sure those NPCs won't make things too difficult for me," Cleansing Flame said, taking the initiative.
"Status? Make things difficult for me? "Yu Luo was confused. She couldn't understand what Cleansing Flame was talking about.
Since when did players need to have a certain status to enter Dragonheart City?
However, Shifeng, who stood beside Yu Luo, understood what Yu Luo meant.
After the system's major update, while NPCs had become mainstream in God's Domain, NPCs had also become more realistic.
This was especially true for NPC forces. Although these NPC forces were very powerful, they were all subordinate to the various kingdoms and empires or Great Lords of neutral cities like Dragonheart City.
On the surface, these NPCs no longer dared to act recklessly in NPC cities. However, they could still use their position to make the various player forces suffer. Just the simplest task of entering and exiting a city could cause players to waste half a day, preventing them from entering and exiting the city as they pleased, not to mention other matters.
Hence, the status of players in NPC cities had become incredibly important.
This position wasn't the same as the noble titles players obtained. Instead, it was an actual position in an NPC city. To put it simply, it was a position with real authority.
As for the players of the past, even if they had the status of a great noble, it was only a title in the present day. It was more like a title that players obtained, and they would receive certain benefits.
For example, the privilege of recruiting guards and so on. However, to NPCs after the major system upgrade, these were meaningless. The only thing that was useful was the ability to recruit powerful NPCs that could protect players …
Just like when Shi Feng had visited the Twin Towers Kingdom, the senior administrator in the City Hall had addressed him differently.
The senior administrator no longer addressed him as Bronze Legatee or Lord Count. Instead, he only addressed him as "Mister." Only when Shi Feng showed the War God's Temple's proof did the senior administrator address him as "Lord Guild Leader." This was because Shi Feng was a Guild Leader recognized by the War God's Temple.
Moreover, in an NPC city, his status was equivalent to that of a Vice City Lord.
Otherwise, before this senior administrator, Shi Feng would be nothing more than an insignificant character.
Of course, if he revealed his Tier 4 status, he would receive different treatment. Only, he wouldn't receive the same treatment as players with real authority. After all, no Tier 4 player would dare to take action in an NPC city unless they were tired of living. Hence, as long as these NPCs weren't adventurers, they wouldn't fear a Tier 4 player.
"Alright, you'll come with us," Divine Shadow said helplessly as he glanced at Cleansing Flame. However, Cleansing Flame was right.
If not for Cleansing Flame being a party leader in Dragonheart City's Dragonheart Knight Legion, they wouldn't even be able to leave Dragonheart City, let alone escape Dragonheart Island.
Following which, Divine Shadow led Shifeng and the others toward Dragonheart City. As for Heaven's Blade's other members, they used this opportunity to leave Dragonheart Island to avoid being hunted down by the Secret Hand Association.
Dragonheart Island, Dragonheart City:
Due to the major system upgrade, Dragonheart City had become extraordinarily lively. Not only were NPCs of different races and races all over the city's harbor, but Tier 3 NPCs, which had been rare in the past, could be found everywhere.
Every one of these Tier 3 NPCs was at Level 130 at the very minimum, with some even reaching Level 150. They were not much weaker than Dragonheart City's Tier 3 NPC soldiers.
Dragonheart City's player population had also increased, especially the large number of independent Tier 3 experts. At least 20% to 30% of the Tier 3 experts in the several sea regions around Dragonheart Island had come to Dragonheart City.
The first reason was that Dragonheart City's trade had become more prosperous. Players could now purchase items that couldn't be found in the outside world. For example, Epic Weapons and Equipment were now available for sale in Dragonheart City's Auction House. Only, these items cost Ancient Gold, not Coins in the outside world.
The second reason was that the World Tower's fourth underground floor offered opportunities for players to reach Tier 4.
In fact, independent Tier 3 experts weren't the only ones who had come to Dragonheart Island to develop. The various superpowers had also dispatched quite a few experts to Dragonheart City. The number of Tier 3 experts in Dragonheart City was most likely the highest in God's Domain's various major cities.
This was also why Shifeng had made a personal trip to Dragonheart Island.
However, before Shi Feng's group could enter Dragonheart City, they noticed that Ink Feather and the others had already been waiting for them. Several hundred players stood before the city's entrance, carefully inspecting the players entering and leaving the city.
Aside from Ink Feather, Blood Oath, who was rarely seen, was also standing beside a black-robed man dressed in silver-gray knight armor. The man was quietly watching the crowd.
However, Blood Oath's appearance had attracted quite a few players' attention.
"What's going on? Why has Blood Oath come here? "
"I heard that someone has killed one of War Blood's upper echelons in the sea region around Dragonheart Island. That's probably why Blood Oath is here."
"Crap! Who's so daring as to kill War Blood's members? "
Everyone discussed among themselves as they looked at Blood Oath, who stood quietly atop the city's walls. They couldn't help but admire the person who had dared to kill War Blood's upper echelons.
On Dragonheart Island, even the various superpowers had to lower their heads and obey War Blood's whims. Otherwise, they'd suffer a miserable fate. Now that War Blood was at its peak, this person had dared to kill one of the adventurer team's upper echelons. This wasn't something that could be resolved with a simple death.
"Shh! Keep your voices down! Don't you see the man beside Blood Oath?" A Level 122, Tier 3 Ranger reprimanded his Guild members when he saw them whispering among themselves. "That's Sabrid, a Tier 4 NPC from the Secret Hand Association. He's also one of the vice commanders of the City Defense Knight Legion. If he targets you, you'll be locked up for several days!"
Upon hearing this Tier 3 Ranger's words, none of the party members dared to utter a word.
After all, they had all heard of Sabrid's name before. Back when the various superpowers had tried to garrison Dragonheart City, this NPC had caused them to suffer heavy losses. The various Guilds' Tier 3 experts had all been locked up in Dragonheart City's prison for three days straight. The reason for this was simple: these Tier 3 experts had provoked the vice commander of the City Defense Knight Legion.
None of the various superpowers had dared to complain about this situation.
"Damn it! Blood Oath is too fast! He actually summoned Sabrid so quickly! With this, we'll have a much harder time entering Dragonheart City! " Divine Shadow's expression darkened when he saw the black-robed Knight standing atop the city's walls. "With Sabrid around, he'll make things difficult for us and prevent us from entering the city. If we speak in the slightest provocation, he'll use his authority to order the city guards to arrest us."
However, before Divine Shadow could finish speaking, Blood Oath noticed the Shifeng's group from atop the city's walls, and a rare, sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Lord Sabrid, I've discovered those troublemakers," Blood Oath said as he approached the black-robed Knight. Blood Oath walked up to the black-robed Knight and pointed at Shi Feng's group, saying coldly, "It's those people! The man leading them even let Heaven's Remnant escape! They've completely disrupted War Blood's expansion plans!"
"Is that so?" Sabrid, the 40-year-old Black Robed Knight, narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction Blood Oath pointed at. He then turned to the personal guards beside him and said, "Go and bring them to me. If they dare resist, you know what to do, right?"
"Vice Commander, rest assured! Leave it to us!"
The Level 150, Tier 3 Guard nodded, smiling. He then led his party of a dozen or so players toward Shi Feng's group with smiles on their faces.
