Chapter 1 Dark Night City

Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City.

The bustling commercial streets were filled with the cries of vendors. The items for sale were all top-quality, including Fine-Gold ranked weapons and equipment above level 60, Tier 2 Skill Books, and a large number of Master-level potions that could save lives at crucial moments, dazzling the new players arriving in Dark Night City, who found it hard to tear themselves away.

"Brother Yuanteng, Dark Night City is amazing. There are so many treasures for sale, and even the super-rare Tier 2 Skill Books are so complete. Back in Ghost Rock City, we were lucky to even have Tier 2 Skill Books for sale. As soon as one appeared, it would be snatched up, leaving no room for choice," a beautiful Elementalist, only level 55, looked at the various Tier 2 magic skill books displayed in the shops, her heart filled with surprise and joy.

In God's Domain, magic classes were simpler to control than melee classes, and their combat power was greatly influenced by skills, unlike melee classes, which were less dependent on skills.

"Of course. This is the imperial capital of the Dark Night Empire. A large number of experts are gathered here, so they naturally obtain a lot of resources. You could say that as long as you have enough gold coins and magic crystals, not to mention level 60 Fine-Gold ranked weapons and equipment, even level 65 Dark-Gold ranked weapons and equipment aren't impossible to buy, as long as you can afford the price. That's something that can't be compared to other cities," a good-natured man carrying a silver shield, who had reached level 62, said with a smile.

"Level 65 Dark-Gold weapons can be bought?" the female Elementalist said incredulously.

Although many players had reached level 60 or higher, due to the settings of God's Domain, the drop rate of monsters above level 50 was greatly reduced, and even the drops from level 60 Bosses were even lower. This led to a scarcity of equipment above level 60, especially Mythic ranked equipment, which could be said to be a symbol of expert and wealthy players.

Ordinary players generally equipped Bronze and Mysterious-Iron ranked equipment. She was able to buy level 55 Mythic equipment for a relatively small amount of money because her level was not high.

Level 65 Mythic weapons and equipment were simply beyond their wildest dreams, let alone level 65 Dark-Gold weapons and equipment, which were like divine equipment.

"Of course, but you need to have some connections with the big guilds," the Guardian Knight named Yuanteng nodded and said proudly. "In the future, Yehua, you will be a member of our Eagle Eye Adventurer Team. Our Eagle Eye Adventurer Team is considered a well-known adventurer team in Dark Night City. We have connections with the higher-ups of several first-rate and second-rate guilds. As long as you pay enough gold coins and magic crystals, it's not difficult to get them. And if you are attacked by guild members in the wild, reporting the name of our Eagle Eye Adventurer Team will get you some face from the members of those first-rate and second-rate guilds."

Just as Yuanteng was speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street. A wide path opened up on the crowded commercial street, and batches of players riding mounts galloped past. No one dared to walk in the middle of the road, as if a king was inspecting his territory.

"How dare these people ride mounts and gallop here?" the beautiful Elementalist Yehua looked at the players galloping past, her face full of disbelief.

Yuanteng had been reminding her all the way that she couldn't ride mounts in Dark Night City and could only walk. And that had been the case all along, but now batch after batch of players were riding mounts and galloping through the commercial street…

"They are an exception," Yuanteng said with great apprehension, looking at the players who had already left.

"Why?" Yehua was even more surprised.

"Because they are members of the Star Ring Guild. Here, they are the rulers. Even the super-first-rate guilds of Crimson Emperor and War Soul Undying are no match for them," Yuanteng said with some awe. "But usually, the members of Star Ring also walk. It's the first time I've seen so many people riding mounts today."

"Star Ring Guild? Are they really that powerful?" Yehua couldn't help but feel a little envious.

In such a prosperous Dark Night City, filled with experts, to experience the feeling of a king's inspection was something that few people wouldn't envy and be jealous of.

It wasn't just Yehua who felt this way at this moment. Many of the players who had just arrived in Dark Night City felt the same way. Some even wanted to join the Star Ring Guild. To have such glory, even once in a lifetime, would be worth it.

"Star Ring is just that powerful. In Dark Night City, you could say that they are the king!" Yuanteng said with some longing.

Just as Yuanteng's eyes flashed with excitement, a masked Ranger, level 65, who was passing by, revealed a trace of disdain.

"King? That's probably a thing of the past," the level 65 Ranger said with a faint smile. "Now, these people from Star Ring are so anxious because the Zero Wing Guild has defended Stone Forest City, greatly threatening Star Ring's fortress in the Land of the Undead. I'm afraid it won't be long before Star Ring's fortress is replaced by Zero Wing's Stone Forest City."

"Star Ring being replaced? How... is that possible..." Yuanteng subconsciously wanted to refute, to mock the Ranger's ignorance, but when he saw the black tiger mark on the white cloak worn by the Ranger, he was immediately shocked. "Tiger Fiends Adventurer Team?"

In the entire Dark Night Empire, there were countless adventurer teams. New adventurer teams were established and old ones disappeared every moment. But the Tiger Fiends Adventurer Team had always existed in the Dark Night Empire, and it was also recognized as one of the top three adventurer teams in the entire Dark Night Empire. Even the presidents of first-rate guilds would give the Tiger Fiends Adventurer Team some respect.

They were not on the same level as the Eagle Eye, an adventurer team that could only barely make connections with first-rate guilds.

"You will naturally know whether it's possible or not in the future. I advise you to make plans early. There will be major changes in the Dark Night Empire in the future." The masked Ranger glanced at Yuanteng and Yehua, then turned and left, not arguing with Yuanteng at all.

"Brother Yuanteng, could what he said be true?" Yehua couldn't help but ask when she saw the respectful expression on Yuanteng's face towards the masked Ranger.

"Rumor has it that the Tiger Fiends Adventurer Team is a top adventurer team that many super-first-rate guilds have extended olive branches to. The members of the team also know many people from super-first-rate guilds, so their news is much better than ours. I think it shouldn't be false," Yuanteng said slowly, looking at the departing masked Ranger.

"Zero Wing? Brother Yuanteng, what kind of guild is that? To make Star Ring so flustered, is it a super-first-rate guild?" Yehua asked with curiosity.

She knew nothing about the virtual gaming world. It was only because God's Domain was so popular in reality that she couldn't help but want to play it, and once she started, she couldn't stop…

"This..." Yuanteng said uncertainly, "I remember that Zero Wing seems to be a new guild comparable to a first-rate guild."

"A new guild? Then do we have a chance to join?" Yehua asked excitedly.

"Probably..." Yuanteng was speechless when he heard that.

He had finally managed to pull Yehua into the Eagle Eye Adventurer Team!

While everyone on the streets of Dark Night City was quietly discussing this matter, the guild residences and strongholds of various forces throughout the Dark Night Empire were completely boiling.

Because not long ago, Zero Wing defeated the allied forces of the major super forces, wiped out more than ten thousand experts, and completely stabilized Stone Forest City in the Abyssal Passage!
