Chapter 1 Shilin City's Magic

The high density of magic in Shilin City surprised not only the representatives of the major guilds present but also the main force members of Zero Wing, such as Aqua Rose and Bai Qingsnow.

They were no strangers to high-density magic environments; in fact, they could be said to be used to them.

However, the magic density of Shilin City was even higher than that of Titan City, and this magic was completely different from what they had felt before. It was full of violent energy, but this violent energy did not make them restless. Instead, it gave them an unspeakable warmth, making them feel inexplicably close to the surrounding environment.

This sense of closeness made them feel as if they had a new understanding of the surrounding environment, a feeling they had never had before, as if they had come to a new world.

Logically speaking, this was something that could not be achieved simply by having high magic density. After all, they had seen magic materialize into mist, but it did not have this effect at all.

However, such a thing was indeed unrelated to magic. It was entirely due to a special hidden effect attached to the Dark Tower.

While this sense of closeness was completely unfamiliar to Aqua Rose, Bai Qingsnow, and others, it was extremely familiar to Yanyun Shiliu Meng and Chi You, who were present. In fact, they were even a little horrified.

This sense of closeness to the environment was very similar to the feeling of reaching the Void Realm (zhenkong zhi jing), although not as strong. It felt about 10% of the Void Realm.

In the major super forces, any expert who could reach this level was a high-level member of the super force, a backbone of the guild, and a star-like existence.

In Shilin City, it could bring players such a feeling, even if it was only about 10%. This was of great help to expert players, and even of considerable help to those at the Subtle Realm (ruwei), allowing them to better feel and find this feeling.

As long as they grasped this feeling and could maintain it, the probability of reaching the Void Realm would increase by at least 20% to 30%.

A 20% to 30% chance might be scoffed at by expert players from large guilds, but for Subtle Realm experts from super forces, a 20% to 30% increase was worth going bankrupt for just to study here.

"No wonder so many super forces are fighting for Shilin City. I didn't expect Shilin City to have such benefits." Yanyun Shiliu Meng suddenly understood as she felt the magic here.

It was relatively easy for Subtle Realm experts to reach the Flowing Water Realm (liushui zhi jing), because all they needed to do was carefully observe the enemy's every move and make predictions. Generally speaking, as long as they accumulated enough experience, they could reach it. It was a matter of perseverance.

However, it was very difficult to advance from Flowing Water to Vacuum. It could be said to be a qualitative change, just like staring at one target before, and suddenly staring at hundreds of targets at the same time. This was no longer a level that could be achieved by observation. It required a different perspective to examine it.

Therefore, in the major super guilds, there were many Subtle Realm and Flowing Water Realm experts, but very few who could reach the Void Realm. Even with the resources of a super guild, the probability of a Flowing Water Realm expert reaching the Void Realm was less than 10%.

If they had an environment like Shilin City, they could definitely have a few more top experts in the guild.

A top expert could command and defend one side. Having a few more would allow them to better manage and expand the guild's territory. Moreover, these top experts were the main force in obtaining powerful treasures. After all, monster-level experts were rare in the major super forces, and there were so many precious treasures and dangerous places in God's Domain, so they needed top experts to handle them.

"Yanyun, we must take this temporary residence in Shilin City, no matter the cost!" Chi You said very firmly.

"I understand, don't worry." Yanyun Shiliu Meng nodded, her eyes no longer lazy, and she no longer looked down on Shilin City in the slightest.

Their Hu Yao was different from those first-rate guilds and super guilds because it was newly established. Many experts were poached, but top experts were the absolute core of a guild, and it was too difficult to poach them. This resulted in Hu Yao having many Subtle Realm and Flowing Water Realm experts, but a lack of top experts, so they could only rely on themselves to train them.

However, this was too difficult. Even now, with a pile of resources thrown in, their entire Hu Yao had only trained two top experts. It was unknown how long it would take to produce more top experts.

If they had an environment like Shilin City, it probably wouldn't take long for the guild to have a few more top experts, and their Hu Yao could expand its territory once again.

At this time, not only Yanyun Shiliu Meng and others, but also Unyielding Heart of War on the side, had fiery eyes and were full of desire for the temporary residence in Shilin City.

Their War Soul Alliance was not much different from Star Ring in terms of the number of expert players. The real difference was in the number of experts above the top level. If they could narrow this gap, their War Soul Alliance might be able to fight Star Ring.

Moreover, Shilin City was located in the Abyssal Passage (Wu Di Shen Yuan), which gave them a huge advantage, making it not impossible to compete with Star Ring in the future.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Candlelight Trading Firm in Shilin City in surprise and envy.

Although the Candlelight Trading Firm in Shilin City was not as good as the one in Zero Wing City, it had a full ten floors, like a huge stadium, and could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. It was not comparable to the Candlelight Trading Firm in White River City. However, it was not yet fully open to the public and was still in preparation. After all, the Candlelight Trading Firm had only been promoted along with Shilin City, and many things needed to be reorganized and arranged.

After everyone entered the Candlelight Trading Firm, they were completely shocked when they saw the items displayed on the counters in the lobby on the first floor.

"Level 60 to 80 Dark-Gold eight-piece set! How is this possible?!" Chi You couldn't help shouting as he looked at the equipment displayed in front of the item counter.

Chi You was not the only one who felt incredible. The representatives of the major guilds present were also dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a long time.

They were all from major guilds, whether small or large, even super forces. Currently, the main force members of the guild, in addition to Epic weapons and equipment, at best had Level 65 Dark-Gold equipment. Even so, not all members of the main force in many super forces had Level 65 Dark-Gold equipment.

An expert who could gather a full set of Level 65 Dark-Gold equipment was one of the few in the main force of the major super forces and was considered a god-level equipment for current expert players. They could go to a Level 70 hundred-man team dungeon without any problems.

But now, a whole set of Level 60 to 80 Dark-Gold sets was placed in front of them, and it was still a Dark-Gold eight-piece set. How could they not be shocked?

A Dark-Gold eight-piece set was second only to Epic equipment of the same level. It could be said to be genuine god-level equipment!

However, this was not the most important thing. What was truly impressive was the level of the equipment.

If a player could have such a set of equipment at Level 70, then there would be no pressure to go to a Level 70 hundred-man team dungeon. Moreover, this set was plate armor without class restrictions, which meant that an MT could also wear it...

This also meant that it would be much easier for their major guilds to go to a hundred-man team dungeon at Level 70, and they would definitely be a big step ahead of other guilds in clearing Level 70 team dungeons.
