"I'll give up five slots at most. I can't give up any more than that," Youlan said resolutely after taking a deep breath.
According to her investigation, the Holy City of Titan was an excellent place to nurture Lifestyle players.
Nowadays, the influence of Lifestyle classes on players was growing.
The various large Guilds had increased their investment in Lifestyle players, hoping to nurture more powerful Lifestyle players. It was especially true for Lifestyle players that specialized in forging and alchemy.
In addition, there were also Enchanting, Tailoring, Jewelry Processing, Engineering, and many other professions.
Hence, nurturing a group of high-level Lifestyle players was extremely important. In the future, they would be able to earn large amounts of Coins. Hence, every slot was important. At that time, they would be able to gain a firm foothold in the organization.
"I believe that Miss Youlan has already challenged it once, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come looking for me. I believe that Miss Youlan is very clear about the difficulty of the challenge. It is not a problem that can be easily solved with a few more experts. If you fail all three challenges, the entry pass will automatically become invalid. At that time, not to mention 50 slots, I'm afraid you won't even have half a slot." Shifeng had no intentions of changing his mind.
The slots to enter the Holy City of Titan were similarly important to Candlelight. Moreover, they needed to nurture even more members. A mere 35 slots were not enough. At worst, they could have the Dark Gods Legion and main force raid more 100-man Team Dungeons in the future.
In God's Domain's NP cities, even imperial capitals, the only place that could increase one's production success rate was Workshops. However, the Holy City of Titan was different. Aside from Workshops, there were also Research Rooms for various Lifestyle classes. Not only could these Research Rooms help players improve faster, but they could also increase their production success rate.
As long as they could nurture a large number of Advanced Forgers and Advanced Alchemists, they could produce even more rare goods. This was especially true for the Strengthening Devices and various items that increased Fire and Ice Resistance.
Ever since Shi Feng had left Blackwing City, the price of the Strengthening Devices sold in the Blackwing Auction House had skyrocketed. As long as the Strengthening Devices appeared in the Auction House, people would immediately purchase them.
Previously, he had thought that the 2,000 Strengthening Devices should've been enough for the market to digest most of his profits. However, it would seem that the 3,000 Strengthening Devices he had sold later were still insufficient. Even before he had sold all 3,000 Strengthening Devices, he had already accumulated over 30,000 Gold's worth of wealth. This was far more than he had expected.
At this moment, Shifeng couldn't help but wish that he could produce more Strengthening Devices. Obtaining the design wasn't a big deal. At most, he would need to grind more Level 50-plus Great Lords. With Divine Providence's godly Skill, he would be able to obtain a copy of the design no matter how many Great Lords he killed. However, Candlelight did not have that many Advanced Forgers.
"Could it be that President Hei Yan has absolute confidence in passing the trial?" Youlan frowned. She did not expect the Shifeng to have such an understanding of the trial.
The Holy City of Titan's entrance trial was much more difficult than a 100-man Team Dungeon. Otherwise, she would not have sought Shifeng's help. She would've long since monopolized all of the entry slots for herself.
"I can't say that I have absolute confidence, but I have more than a 70% chance of passing," Shifeng said, chuckling.
He had visited the Holy City of Titan several times in the past, so he was very familiar with the trial. The trial's difficulty was based on a player's level. Overall, the trial's difficulty was the same for all players. It all depended on a team's overall strength.
With the current Ling YI Society and his understanding of the trial, his chances of passing through the Holy City of Titan were far more than 70%.
Youlan fell silent when she heard Shi Feng's words.
Even Underworld's full strength could not guarantee a 70% success rate. If she tried to raid the trial with her own team, their chances of success would, at most, be 20%. However, there were only three chances to enter the trial. She had already failed once. There were only two chances left. If she tried to raid the trial by herself, it would be impossible for her team to pass.
Just as Shifeng had said, if she failed to pass the trial, the pass would be worthless.
Moreover, judging by Shifeng's behavior, he did not seem to be boasting. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so calmly.
In the current market, there was an increasing demand for high-level Lifestyle players. The sooner she could nurture high-level Lifestyle players, the greater her advantage would be in the future. She could not afford to wait.
"Alright, then. As long as you can pass the entrance trial, the 50 slots will be yours. However, I have a condition. You must pass the entrance trial within three days," Youlan could not help but sigh. In the end, she still agreed.
"Alright. I'll make some preparations first. I'll contact you when the time comes." Shifeng's thoughts were the same as Youlan's. The sooner they entered the Holy City of Titan, the better.
Moreover, one could obtain quite a few rare designs in the Holy City of Titan, which could not be found anywhere else.
Following which, the two signed a contract.
Shortly after Shifeng left, a young Assassin entered the room.
The young Assassin wore silver-gray leather armor, and he looked to be in his teens. However, his level was extremely high, reaching Level 38. He was not a Level that ordinary experts could reach.
"Big Sis Youlan, giving away 50 slots for no reason is letting Ling Yi off too easily. 50 slots means 50 Advanced Lifestyle players. Who knows how much money we'll have to spend to nurture so many Advanced Lifestyle players? We might as well seek help from the Sky Burial Society or the Star Alliance. These two Guilds' strength is not any weaker than Ling Yi's. Moreover, we won't have to pay such a high price," the young Assassin said angrily when he heard Shifeng's condition.
"The Star Alliance and Heaven's Burial both have some connections with Underworld. When the time comes, there is a high chance that news of our trip to Titan City will reach the ears of other Guilds in Underworld. However, Ling Yi won't have such a problem," Youlan said, shaking her head. "Moreover, Ling Yi has plenty of experts. His chances of passing the entrance trial are much higher. Although the price is somewhat high, entering Titan City is the most important thing."
Although the young Assassin did not say anything, he was very unwilling to accept Youlan's condition.
When they had first entered the entrance trial, they had been extremely confident.
They had thought that a mere entrance trial was a piece of cake.
However, only after experiencing the trial did they realize that they had been too naive.
The entrance trial was nothing like a 100-man team trial. The two were on completely different levels. Even if an expert like Ling Yi entered the trial, the outcome would be the same.

White River City's Library:
After entering the library, Shifeng made his way to the top floor of the building.
Compared to the last time he had been here, the security on the top floor of the building was much tighter. Tier 3 Knights were everywhere. Even Demon Hunters were not allowed to enter the building. If not for Shifeng's status as a Count, he could only stand by the entrance of the building.
Upon entering the building, Youlan saw Xia Lian, dressed in white sacred robes, sitting before a desk, quietly looking down at a floating crystal ball. Various magic arrays revolved around the crystal ball, and the powerful aura radiating from the crystal ball prevented even Shifeng from moving in the slightest.
"A fourfold magic array?" Shifeng revealed an expression of disbelief. If it were only a Domain cast by an NPC, it would have been fine. However, Xia Lian had not used any Domain. The aura radiating from the crystal ball was simply a result of the magic array's condensation of Mana. "Just what kind of magic is this? It's actually so powerful! "
At this moment, the crystal ball displayed the scene of the Blackwing Auction House's space being frozen.
The crystal ball had completely locked onto the mysterious youth's appearance and aura. His every action was recorded in the crystal ball.
However, when the mysterious youth had completely disappeared from Blackwing City, the crystal ball abruptly shattered into countless pieces. In the end, the shattered crystal ball emitted a silver flame before disintegrating into nothingness.
