"I should be able to evolve it, right?"
Shifeng chose to evolve the Holy City's Emblem. However, he was still somewhat uncertain. After all, the Holy City's Emblem was not categorized by quality. Unlike weapons and equipment, which could be categorized as Bronze or Mysterious-Iron.
In the next moment, a trace of purple mist flowed out of the azure Holy Grail. The mist slowly enveloped the silver Holy City's Emblem in Shifeng's hand as if it were scanning an item.
Three seconds later, Shifeng heard the sound of a system notification.
System: Do you wish to permanently lose 100 HP to evolve the Holy City's Emblem?
"Sure enough, a Legendary item is amazing!" Shifeng could not help but reveal an excited expression.
Although losing 100 HP permanently was a little harsh — 600 HP more than Icarus's Heart when it was evolved to Dark-Gold rank — it was the equivalent of losing a little more Stamina, but it was all worth it. As long as the Holy City's Emblem was successfully evolved, it would be far more valuable than an Epic item.
Following which, Shifeng chose to evolve the Holy City's Emblem.
Suddenly, Shi Feng's HP decreased by 10 points, dropping from 260 points to 250 points.
However, even after losing 10 HP, Shifeng's HP was still higher than Ke Le's. If Shifeng activated the Seven Luminaries Ring's Aura of Earth, he would become an MT with even more resistance than Ke Le …
As Shifeng's HP decreased, streams of emerald liquid flowed into the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail's purple glow also began to emit a dazzling glow that slowly merged with the Holy City's Emblem.
Suddenly, the Holy City's Emblem released a dazzling golden glow that enveloped the entire warehouse.
"Did it work?" Shifeng stared at the Holy City's Emblem in his hand, his expression extremely nervous.
If the Holy City's Emblem succeeded, it meant that Candlelight's future development would be limitless.
While other Guilds were still feeling the pinch over the resources they had to spend to nurture Advanced Lifestyle players, he could easily nurture batches of Advanced Lifestyle players, giving Candlelight an absolute advantage.
At that time, even if Candlelight did not have enough Shops, it could easily surpass the other trading firms in terms of quantity of advanced products. In addition, advanced products were the mainstream items that players purchased. Candlelight would not have to worry about competition.
If he could nurture a Master Level player, he would earn so much money that his hands would cramp up.
If he failed, he would have to wait another ten days. At that time, he would have to spend another 10,000 HP. Just thinking about it made him depressed. However, even if he was depressed, he had to continue. After all, the Holy City of Titan was crucial to the Candlelight Trading Firm's future.
After the golden light dissipated, the originally silver Holy City Emblem had turned pale gold. Moreover, there were small divine runes engraved on the emblem, causing the mana around the emblem to condense involuntarily. It made the Holy City Emblem look like it was wrapped in a faint cloud, adding a bit of mystery to it.
Shifeng then checked the emblem of the Holy City.
[Holy City Emblem] Opens the Teleportation Gate to the Holy City of Titan. A maximum of 20 people can enter the Holy City of Titan. Cooldown: 7 days. Every time a holder of this emblem enters the Holy City of Titan, they can extend their stay by two days.
After reading the emblem's introduction, Shifeng was ecstatic.
Although the Holy City Emblem did not extend players' stay like he had imagined, the number of people allowed to enter the Holy City had doubled from 10 to 20. Moreover, holders of the emblem could stay in the Holy City for two days longer than others. To Shifeng, this was practically an unlimited residence permit in the Holy City of Titan.
Normally, players could only stay in the Holy City for three days, while Honorary Citizens could extend their stay by five days. In addition, the Holy City Emblem's effects could extend their stay by two days. In total, players could stay in the Holy City for seven days, which was also the Holy City Emblem's Cooldown.
With this emblem, Shifeng could continue to stay in the Holy City of Titan even if he did not raise his Reputation. With the Holy City's environment, whether it was Lifestyle players or combat players, it was heaven.
"This isn't bad. Even if I go to Titan City to do quests, I won't have to worry about running out of time." Shifeng smiled as he looked at the faint golden emblem in his hand.
The Holy City of Titan wasn't just a holy land for Lifestyle players. It was also a holy land for combat players. Only, the slots to enter the Holy City were incomparably precious. Even if the various large Guilds obtained a slot, they would only use it on Lifestyle players. None of them were willing to waste it on combat players.
However, as the number of players entering the Holy City increased, combat players gradually discovered the benefits of staying in the Holy City. In reality, the benefits of staying in the Holy City were no less than those of Lifestyle players. Only, the various large Guilds had discovered this too late. At their current levels and combat standards, the benefits of staying in the Holy City were no longer of much use.
…
Star-Moon City, Ouroboros's Guild Residence:
Due to the Blackwater Corporation's appearance, the entire Guild had fallen into chaos. At this moment, many of the players inside the Guild Hall were no longer in the mood to level up outside. Instead, they were all discussing the Guild's affairs.
Moreover, the Guild Hall was currently in a heated argument.
"Are you companies really going to stand on the Blackwater Consortium's side? Have you considered that Blackwater's actions are simply a ploy to seize the entire Ouroboros and make it Blackwater's private property? At that time, Ouroboros will most likely have nothing to do with you! " Zhao Yueru frowned as she glared at the several Grand Elders beside her. Angrily, she said, "Are you not going to reconsider?"
Meanwhile, the Grand Elders, who were not representatives of the various companies, nodded in agreement with Zhao Yueru's words.
The Blackwater Consortium's group of people were ruthless. Before they had even taken over Ouroboros, they had already forced the current Guild Leader to step down and take over Ouroboros's management. It was easy to predict what they would do next.
At that time, even Ouroboros's name would disappear from the virtual gaming world.
Afterward, the Blackwater Consortium, which owned 90% of Ouroboros's shares, would seize the remaining 10% of Ouroboros's shares and swallow it whole. At that time, aside from receiving some compensation, these companies would have no choice but to starve.
Currently, God's Domain was becoming increasingly popular. It was even more so due to the appearance of the Mind Space System.
Even a fool knew what God's Domain's future would be like. Otherwise, there would be no need for so many large companies to invest in God's Domain and establish their own Guilds or invest in large Guilds.
As a first-rate Guild, Ouroboros already possessed a considerable advantage. It had also accumulated a lot of Lands. If Blackwater really took away these Lands, in the future, if these companies wished to establish their own Guilds, even if they spent tens of times more money than they did now, they would not be able to reach their current standards.
Blackwater would only be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
"As for the capital issue you mentioned, I have already used the materials in the Guild's warehouse to raise funds. In addition to the funds I have, according to my estimates, the companies behind you should be able to resist the Blackwater Consortium's suppression for a short time.
"Our Ouroboros can also use this time to capture a few towns. Once we have captured a few towns, with the profits from those towns, the entire Guild will be able to maintain its basic operations. At that time, there will be no need to purchase Coins from the outside world or hire money-farming teams. Moreover, you will also be able to retain your current shares of Ouroboros. What do you all think?"
Gentle Snow's beautiful eyes shifted to the several senior executives representing the companies. She calmly proposed her own plan.
Although this plan was very risky, or rather, it was cutting off all means of retreat.
However, this was currently the best choice Ouroboros could make.
