"The Flower of Seven Sins?"
Shifeng's expression turned grim when he saw this name.
He had never imagined that Exemplary Willow would be so ruthless.
Initially, she had hired a large number of Red Names and Workshops to harass Ling Yi. At most, they would cause some trouble for Ling Yi. However, hiring the Flower of Seven Sins was a different story.
At most, the Flower of Seven Sins was a mysterious assassin organization in the virtual gaming world. The Flower of Seven Sins could be found in almost every virtual reality game. In God's Domain, the Flower of Seven Sins had reached its apex.
As long as one could afford the price, the Flower of Seven Sins could even kill the Guild Leader of a Tier 1 Guild, much less a first-rate Guild.
In the past, five large Guilds had worked together to pressure the Flower of Seven Sins. They had demanded that the organization not accept missions to kill the upper echelons of Tier 1 Guilds. Unfortunately, it had been useless. In less than ten days, the five large Guilds had given up on the Flower of Seven Sins. They had killed all of their upper echelons, including many God-ranked experts. From then on, the various large Guilds no longer bothered with the Flower of Seven Sins.
Back then, the Flower of Seven Sins had shocked the entire God's Domain.
However, the Flower of Seven Sins required an exorbitant price to take action. Even OSC would feel the pinch.
"Exemplary Willow must have hired the Flower of Seven Sins to deal with the Guild's upper echelons. If she wants to deal with the entire Guild, OSC definitely won't be willing to pay the price." Shifeng could not help but fall into deep thought.
The best way to deal with the Flower of Seven Sins was to kill all of Ling Yi's upper echelons to Level 0. This would definitely cause the Ling YI Society to collapse, and the Guild's prestige would vanish.
As for the possibility of the Flower of Seven Sins failing …
Ever since the organization had been established, it had never failed a mission. Its strength was like a bottomless pit.
Even Shi Feng did not have much confidence in stopping the Flower of Seven Sins' assassinations, not to mention the other members of the Guild.
"If I recall correctly, the Flower of Seven Sins needs quite some time to take action. They first investigate the target's strength before taking action. In the past, the Flower of Seven Sins needed five to ten days to gather information. If Exemplary Willow had hired the Flower of Seven Sins, she should've had around four days left.
"If the target is much stronger than the initial estimate, the Flower of Seven Sins will ask the Flower of Seven for the Flower of Seven Sins. The Flower of Seven Sins will make a new offer to the employer and will only take action after the employer agrees. "
"Our best option right now is to increase the strength of our Guild's upper echelons by a large margin within the next four days. We'll then have the Flower of Seven Sins make a new offer. Thus, the mission will be canceled. "
Shifeng had some understanding of the Flower of Seven Sins' rules and prices in his previous life.
The lowest price for killing a system-recognized third-rate expert in God's Domain was 500,000 Credits. The higher the price, the higher the price. Moreover, this was only the price for a single kill.
The lowest price for a second-rate expert was three million Credits.
The lowest price for a first-rate expert was ten million Credits.
The lowest price for a top-tier expert was 100 million Credits.
Needless to say, apex experts were worth as much as 500 million Credits. Ordinary people simply could not afford to hire the Flower of Seven Sins. Only large Guilds and corporations could afford to do so.
However, rather than spending so much money to kill the other party, he might as well send his own men to do the job. Only when he had no other choice but to eliminate the other party would he hire the Flower of Seven Sins.
Exemplary Willow was currently in such a situation. Even the Star Alliance could not do anything to Ling Yi, not to mention Twilight Echo, which had no home ground advantage.
If he wanted to eliminate all of Ling Yi's upper echelons, the cost would be astronomical. Only the Open Source Corporation could afford such a price.
Currently, the Flower of Seven Sins' evaluation of their strength was still incomplete. According to Shifeng's estimates, the number of experts capable of reaching the Trial Tower's fifth floor should be at least 500,000, the sixth floor should be at least three million, the seventh floor should be at least ten million, and the eighth floor should be at least 100 million.
Currently, Ling Yi had over 20 upper echelons. The majority of them were on the sixth floor. Currently, only Fire Dance and Violet Cloud were on the seventh floor. If they could increase their strength, the cost would definitely increase by several times. Even the Open Source Corporation would have to reevaluate the cost.
Following which, Shifeng contacted Shiuse Qiangwei, instructing the Guild's upper echelons to frantically improve their strength during this period. As for the Hundred Berry Wine, they also opened it to the public. They also instructed the upper echelons of the Trial Tower as much as possible.
Although Shiuse Qiangwei did not understand why, since Shifeng had made such arrangements, Shiuse Qiangwei had no choice but to comply.
For a time, Ling Yi's upper echelons stopped grinding monsters in the Stoneclaw Mountains. Instead, they focused all of their efforts on improving the Trial Tower.
As for Gentle Snow's message, it was to inform Shifeng that the Open Source Corporation had become a major shareholder of the Star Alliance and intended to deal with Ling Yi. Gentle Snow warned Shifeng to be careful of the Star Alliance.
Naturally, Shifeng made the necessary adjustments.
On the same day, the news shocked all of Star-Moon City.
Stone Forest Town was no longer open to the Star Alliance's members. Any Guild connected to the Star Alliance was also forbidden from entering the town.
Immediately, the news attracted the attention of every player in Star-Moon City.
Nobody understood why Ling YI Society had suddenly declared war on the Star Alliance.
The Stoneclaw Mountains had long since become Star-Moon City's symbol. Meanwhile, Stone Forest Town was an indispensable resting place.
Without this resting place, the Star Alliance's progress in the Stoneclaw Mountains would fall behind the other Guilds by a large margin. Of course, the Star Alliance could also send someone to repair their equipment in Stone Forest Town. However, Ling Yi had long since prepared for this.
There was a limit to the number of pieces of equipment that could be repaired per person per day.
In other words, including their own equipment, they could only repair one set of equipment for another person once. Moreover, there was also a limit to players' levels, requiring them to be at least Level 10.
This greatly restricted the Star Alliance's ability to repair equipment in Stone Forest Town.
"Can someone tell me what's going on?!" Galaxy Past nearly jumped up in anger when he saw this message.
Even Galaxy Past did not understand what was going on.
Why would Ling Yi Society suddenly do something like this?
Clearly, the Star Alliance only intended to deal with Ling Yi. However, before they had even put their plans into action, the Star Alliance had already publicly slapped them in the face.
Currently, the Star Alliance had already deployed the majority of its forces to the Stoneclaw Mountains. Without a place to rest in Stone Forest Town, how was the Star Alliance supposed to compete with the other Guilds?
Silence filled the meeting room. This was the first time everyone had seen Galaxy Past so angry.
"Guild Leader, is Ling Yi doing this because he sees us as too great of a threat?" Purple Eye was similarly confused. Why would the Ling Yi Society do something like this? Clearly, everything had been fine before.
"Ling Yi must have found out that the Star Alliance has received OSC's investment," Red Feather said.
"Even with OSC's investment, Ling Yi shouldn't be so decisive. Ling Yi clearly views us as his greatest enemy," Purple Eye said, shaking her head.
"Go. Contact Hei Yan immediately." Galaxy Past agreed with Purple Eye's opinion. They needed to meet with Hei Yan and have a good chat.
