Time passed quickly. Before they knew it, the Shifeng had been waiting in the bar for over an hour.
Although the Shifeng had not done anything, they had gained a lot.
The bar was a place where players frequently chatted and exchanged information. Hence, it was easy for them to collect a lot of information, especially regarding District Five.
After collecting some information, the Shifeng only needed to organize the information to finally understand what kind of place District Five was.
He had to admit that this place was more like a real world.
To put it simply, District Five was a simple Shelter. It allowed players to get closer to high-level monsters without wasting a lot of time traveling.
As there were no teleportation arrays here, players had to rely on their own two feet to move around.
The monsters here were ferocious and numerous. When players ventured out, they usually formed parties. Nobody dared to act alone. Any player that dared to act alone was an expert among experts. They were known as Solo Players, and it was proof of their strength. Hence, they were worshipped by many.
In addition, the Shelter could effectively fend off monster attacks as the night here was extremely frightening.
Just how frightening was the night?
Monsters would ambush players in groups. Even a 100-man elite team would not survive outside the Shelter.
Even inside the Shelter, players had to face attacks from monsters as large as seawater. As a result, players had no choice but to work together to fend off these monsters.
If a Shelter was breached, players' range of activity would be limited. They would have no choice but to retreat to low-level areas. In the future, if players wanted to kill high-level monsters, they would have to travel a long distance from low-level areas to high-level areas.
Meanwhile, the night here was longer than the day. In other words, out of the 48 hours in God's Domain, 30 of them were night, and only 18 were day. There was not much time for players to level up.
This highlighted the importance of sanctuaries.
Otherwise, players would have to spend eight to nine hours traveling back and forth to level up. If they traveled further, it might even take up to ten hours. How were they supposed to level up?
Currently, District 5 was one of the Shelters in the high-leveled area.
Players here did not have to spend a lot of time traveling. They could easily encounter high-level monsters, raid high-level Dungeons, accept high-level Quests, and so on.
However, it was also because of this reason that the players here were generally high-leveled.
This was because they had to face an army of monsters at night every day. Not only would killing these monsters provide a large amount of EXP, but they could also complete high-level quests and earn a lot of money and equipment.
The most precious item in a Shelter was the Soul Crystal, which could enhance the power of a Shelter's magic arrays. When monsters attacked, they would be significantly weakened, making it easier for players to repel them. Meanwhile, if players submitted Soul Crystals to the Shelter, they could earn a large number of Contribution Points. These Contribution Points were the equivalent of Coins in the Shelter, and they could be used to purchase certain items to increase players' strength.
For example, the Tier 1 Curse used by the Cursemancer of the Ironwrist Party was one of the good items that could be exchanged for with Contribution Points.
Hence, the players here were extremely thirsty for Soul Crystals.
However, this thing was useless to the Shifeng. He would not stay here to live. He was just a passerby who was here to complete his mission.
Although the Soul Crystals are useless to me, I can use them to exchange for Gemstones. Shi Feng looked at the three Soul Crystals in his bag. He could not help but think of a good money-making idea.
It was easier to obtain gems here than outside.
Because during the monster attack at night. Chieftain ranked monsters and above had a high chance of dropping Gemstones. Lords even dropped Tier 2 Gemstones. Hence, the production of Gemstones here was much higher.
Outside of the Shelter, players rarely socketed Gemstones. However, it was very common here. Many players had socketed Gemstones, and their Basic Attributes were much higher than players outside of the Shelter.
Meanwhile, Gemstones here were much cheaper than outside of the Shelter.
In the outside world, a Tier 1 Gemstone sold for 10 Silver Coins, but here, it only cost 5 Silver Coins. Tier 2 Gemstones sold for 90 Silver Coins to 1 Gold Coin in the outside world, but here, they only sold for 40 Silver Coins.
Here, however, a single Soul Crystal sold for 40 Gold Coins. Even so, there were still people fighting over Soul Crystals. This was because the drop-rate of Soul Crystals was extremely low. Only Level 40-plus Chieftains had a relatively high drop-rate. This was why the Ironwrist Party had constantly hunted Level 40-plus Chieftains.
After Shifeng finished sorting out the information he had received … Ironwrist arrived at the bar with a silver-armored Knight.
The moment this knight with a full beard and thick eyebrows walked into the bar, the bar fell silent. Everyone turned to look at this silver-armored knight.
"Why is the leader of Third Party, Discipline Paradise, here?"
"Is Discipline Paradise here to replenish his team members?"
"How is that possible? That's our District Five's third-ranked party. Even if he is here to replenish his team members, he will still be selected from the selection process. They will also choose from the candidates. Why would they come to a bar? "
"I heard that the six official members of Third Party have all learned Tier 1 Curses and Taboo Skills. Even at night, they can level up and grind as they wish."
"That's right. Right now, Third Party's strength is the closest to First Party. In the next ranking battle, Discipline Paradise might become Second Party's leader."
Everyone cast envious and respectful gazes at the silver-armored knight who walked in.
In the Shelter, the higher the ranking of a team, the more resources they would receive and the more authority they would have in the Shelter. They would be able to purchase items that ordinary teams would not be able to get their hands on. This way, the team would be able to grow stronger faster.
Following which, Discipline Paradise and Ironwrist walked up to Shifeng, who sat in a corner of the bar.
"Brother Expert, let me introduce you. This is the leader of our District Five's Third Party, Discipline Paradise. He knows quite a bit about the Dark Den," Ironwrist introduced, smiling.
"Hello. You can just call me Discipline," Discipline Paradise said, smiling.
Although Discipline Paradise was a powerhouse of District Five, he did not show any arrogance. On the contrary, he was very kind and straightforward.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Discipline Paradise, the leader of Third Party, and Ironwrist, the leader of Seventh Party, take the initiative to greet a Swordsman they had never seen before.
"Just who is that person? Why haven't I seen that person before? "
"Could that person be one of the top ten party leaders of another District?"
"I'm afraid it's not just the top ten. Didn't you hear Ironwrist call that person an expert? He might be one of the top three parties. Otherwise, why would Discipline Paradise come here?"
Everyone made their own guesses about the Shifeng's identity.
However, Discipline Paradise's words instantly shocked everyone.
