Chapter 1 Demon Woman's Hill, Zero Wing City

The entire city saw an increase in merchant players and free players because Zero Wing had captured Man Hammer Town. The streets were filled with shouts of vendors and calls for party members. Experts of Tier 2 classes were now a common sight. Even Star-Moon City and White River City couldn't compare to the bustling scene.

Because of Zero Wing Guild's battle, the major guilds of Star-Moon Kingdom had also sent teams to Zero Wing City to gather information about Zero Wing, making the bars and restaurants on the streets unusually lively.

In front of a high-end bar on Zero Wing City's commercial street, several players wearing black cloaks to hide their identities cautiously looked around. After confirming that there were no problems, they went straight into the bar.

The high-end bar was now full of players, including many wearing black cloaks.

If there were players here who possessed skills to see through the cloaks' concealing abilities, they would discover that these players were not free players at all, but players from various major guilds. Moreover, each of them had extraordinary strength, with the weakest being a Tier 2 class of Level 58.

In God's Domain, small guilds that wanted to survive, even if they didn't form direct alliances like the Starlight Alliance, would secretly join forces to prevent being swallowed by larger guilds. At the same time, they would exchange information for better development, which became inevitable.

This high-end bar was the central location for various guilds to exchange information about Zero Wing.

The reasons for coming to such a place were to protect their identities and to conduct private item transactions.

The group of players who entered the bar went straight to a corner and sat down at a stone table occupied by only one person.

"How's the investigation going? Have you figured out how Zero Wing captured Man Hammer Town?" A Tier 2 female elementalist with snow-white skin, who was the leader, asked the tattooed assassin who was sitting at the stone table drinking a small amount of alcohol.

This assassin was different from the others present, not hiding his identity at all. He was a completely free player, but none of the guild players present dared to underestimate him, because this free player was the person in charge of this intelligence exchange, a middleman specializing in the acquisition and sale of information about Zero Wing.

The reason why the guild players allowed this assassin to be the middleman was because he was a free player, and also because this assassin player was a member of the Azure Eye, a top-tier adventure team in God's Domain.

The Azure Eye adventure team was different from other adventure teams. They were an adventure team specializing in intelligence gathering. The members of the team were not only strong, but also had extensive connections. They never sold any false information, so they were highly trusted by the major guilds.

Of course, because Azure Eye's manpower was limited, they didn't collect information from just any guild. They only targeted first-rate guilds or above. Second-rate guilds simply weren't qualified.

"We've found out, but we only accept gold coins or magic crystals for this information. If you pay with magic crystals, we can give you a 10% discount based on the market price," the tattooed Tier 2 assassin said calmly, glancing at the Tier 2 female elementalist.

"How many gold coins?" the female elementalist asked immediately.

For adventure teams like Azure Eye, they used gold coins or magic crystals to pay for very important information. After all, strength was the foundation for doing anything. For the development of the adventure team, gold coins and magic crystals were the first choice. Only with the guarantee of strength could there be a continuous stream of credit points.

"Five hundred gold!" the assassin said.

"Five hundred gold? That's too high!" Several players standing behind the female knight were unwilling to accept this price.

Five hundred gold was an astronomical figure for current expert players. After all, an expert player could usually only sell weapons and equipment for a few gold or a dozen gold at most. Weapons, equipment, or props above that level were not easily obtained by individual players.

For a guild, five hundred gold was also a considerable expense. Just selling a piece of information cost five hundred gold, which was no different from robbery.

"Not high. This is an internal message that we managed to get our hands on. We spent a lot to get this information, and it also includes the latest news about Zero Wing," the Tier 2 assassin said indifferently.

"Alright! I'll buy it for five hundred gold," the Tier 2 female elementalist said through gritted teeth.

"Vice-Leader, we've only just started developing in the Star-Moon Kingdom, and we have a shortage of funds in all aspects. Isn't this too high? Why don't we discuss it with the Leader?" A Tier 2 Berserker next to her quickly advised.

They were different from the other guilds present. The other guilds present were originally local guilds of the Star-Moon Kingdom, but they were not. They were guilds from other places who had no choice but to come to the Star-Moon Kingdom to develop.

The guild players present didn't show any surprise at the Tier 2 Berserker's sudden move and words, and were still doing their own thing.

Because such things were too normal in the virtual gaming world, especially in the extremely popular God's Domain. Every day, a large number of guilds disappeared from God's Domain, and every day, a large number of guilds were established in God's Domain. It was no longer a novelty for guilds to move to other places if they couldn't do well in one place.

However, if everyone present saw the guild emblem worn by the female elementalist, they would definitely be shocked, because the female elementalist wore the guild emblem of the first-rate guild, Hundred Flowers Palace. For the guilds present, Hundred Flowers Palace was a behemoth, a true major guild, an absolute overlord-level existence in a kingdom.

It was just that this guild emblem was currently covered by the black cloak. Unless someone had an advanced skill that could see through the concealment ability of the black cloak, they could only judge the basic profession and a vague appearance.

"There's no need. I'll pay for this five hundred gold myself. There's no need to use the guild's funds," the Tier 2 female elementalist shook her head, and then took out five hundred gold and directly traded it to the assassin in front of her.

"Here's all the current information about Zero Wing. Take a look for yourself," the assassin said after receiving the five hundred gold, and then took out a crystal ball and directly traded it to the female elementalist.

The crystal ball recorded all the information about Zero Wing, and even had more than a dozen combat videos of Zero Wing in Man Hammer Town, including many videos of the battle with the Giant players. In addition, it also included the sudden appearance of Zero Wing's Giant players in Gold Stream Town, but this video was very short, only about ten seconds long.

"Is Zero Wing Guild crazy? They're actually attacking the heavily defended Gold Stream Town now?" After reading the information in her hand, the Tier 2 female elementalist looked very surprised.

Gold Stream Town could be said to be the last town of the Starlight Alliance. The Starlight Alliance would definitely invest unimaginable defenses. Zero Wing Guild had only just finished attacking Man Hammer Town, destabilizing the Man Hammer Town they had obtained, and then turned around to attack Gold Stream Town. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a joke.

"Vice-Leader, what should we do next? Should we leave the Star-Moon Kingdom to develop in other kingdoms, or should we stay in the Star-Moon Kingdom?" The other higher-ups of Hundred Flowers Palace couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The reason why they, Hundred Flowers Palace, originally came to the Star-Moon Kingdom was because they saw that the Starlight Alliance was fighting with Zero Wing, and the major guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom were also eager to make a move. This made them, who had left the Dark Night Empire, feel that coming to the Star-Moon Kingdom was a good opportunity. Although the various resources of the Star-Moon Kingdom were not as good as the Dark Night Empire, it was also an extremely well-developed kingdom.

If they could take the opportunity to stabilize in the Star-Moon Kingdom, it wouldn't be impossible to return to the peak in the future.

Just as Mu Yun, the Vice-Leader of Hundred Flowers Palace, was thinking about what to do next, the atmosphere in the entire high-end bar suddenly changed, giving people an indescribable sense of solemnity and dullness.

"What happened?" Mu Yun and the others looked at everyone present strangely.

"Didn't your guild receive the news just now?" The assassin looked at Mu Yun in surprise and said, "Just now, all the guild members of the entire Hundred Battles Empire received the news that Gold Stream Town has fallen!"
