Chapter 1 The News

As soon as Shi Feng gave the order, Liang Jing immediately released the news that Shilin City's private residences were available for rent.

The news detonated the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.

Everyone already knew the situation in Shilin City very well from the Zero Wing members. It was simply a paradise for leveling up and acquiring resources. Before, everyone could only watch enviously, but now there was a chance to enter Shilin City. How could this not attract everyone's attention?

However, after reading the specific information released by Zero Wing, both the major forces and the free players couldn't help but gasp.

It was true that Shilin City's private residences were for rent, but they were rented by the week, not by the month. Moreover, the starting bid for a week was as high as 30,000 credits, which was comparable to the rental price for a month in the Abyss.

"Zero Wing is too ruthless. They aren't opening Shilin City to the public. Now, unless you rent a private residence, there's no way to enter Shilin City."

"But now we free players have a chance. Since it's a rental of private residences, we can bid on them. As long as we can rent a house, it will be great for leveling up and third-tier class advancement."

"But the starting price is too expensive. 30,000 credits for a week? How can we ordinary players afford it?"

…

Everyone was talking about it, feeling that Zero Wing's asking price was too high. Many free experts who were interested felt unacceptable, but as soon as the news came out, a large number of adventurer teams and guild forces began to sign up at the Candlelight Trading Firm to participate in the auction of private residences, almost crowding the Candlelight Trading Firm.

"These people are crazy. That's 30,000 credits for a week's rent. Only seven days, how much advantage can it bring?" A level 40-plus female player who had just entered God's Domain was deeply puzzled by this scene, feeling that the world was too crazy.

"You haven't been in God's Domain for long, so you naturally don't know the value of the private residences in Shilin City. You have to know that it's a level 100 neutral map. The leveling speed there is two or three times faster than a level 90-plus map. Moreover, you can get level 100 equipment and resources. The teams of the major super forces spend more than ten hours a day just to get there. Now that there are private residences, you can just teleport there with a private residence." A level 93 Spell Caster in the same team looked at the line of people signing up with envy. "And I heard that the private residences can store double the experience points, further speeding up the recovery, and the leveling speed can also be further improved."

If he had that much money, he would definitely sign up for the auction. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to join the Star-Moon Adventurer Alliance and slowly earn points to be promoted to a Silver-level member.

Meanwhile, in a high-end hotel in White River City.

"Elder, Zero Wing has more than twenty third-tier class players. They can walk unhindered in the Cold Spring Forest, a level 100 neutral map. Even Star Ring is probably helpless against Zero Wing." A stern man in black armor asked Lin Xie anxiously, "What should we do about the Vice Guild Leader's instructions?"

The strength that Zero Wing had shown in the Cold Spring Forest was beyond their imagination. With the survival ability of third-tier class players in a level 100 neutral map, it was meaningless to have even a 1,000-man Hellfire Legion, let alone a 10,000-man one.

"We miscalculated this time. Zero Wing does have some strength to be able to promote so many people to the third tier. If it really doesn't work, we'll just buy the private residences in Shilin City first." Lin Xie frowned as he looked at the Zero Wing news in his hand.

They, the Demon Emperor Palace, had only a few more people than Zero Wing who were confident that they could advance to the third tier right now.

"But even if we manage to get some at a cost, this amount..." the stern young man said worriedly.

Their Demon Emperor Palace ruled the entire Demon Imprisonment World and had a large number of experts. The private residences in Shilin City could not satisfy them.

"We don't need to worry. Only a very few people are currently able to advance to the third tier. We should be able to cope with a few hundred private residences for the time being." Lin Xie smiled and said, "But Zero Wing won't be so lucky. A tall tree attracts the wind. First, Star Ring is launching an all-out war, and now they aren't fully opening Shilin City. Even if Zero Wing has more than twenty third-tier experts to suppress the situation, they won't be able to withstand it for long when the experts from the major super forces advance to the third tier one by one. I want to see if Zero Wing will still have the confidence to think that they can take advantage of the situation in the Cold Spring Forest!"

In his opinion, Zero Wing's strength in the level 100 neutral map was only temporary. Compared to the strength of the major super forces, how many experts did Zero Wing have who could quickly advance to the third tier?

The future was the world of third-tier class players. It could be said that whichever side had more third-tier class players had the bigger fist. Zero Wing was inherently deficient in its foundation. If it didn't quickly cling to the thighs of these real giants while it was strong, the end result would be a flash in the pan.

While the major forces were secretly discussing Zero Wing's affairs, Shi Feng had already taken Cola and the others to teleport to a border town in the Ten Saints Empire. Then, they flew all the way to the Demon Wolf Mountain Range, a level 100 neutral map, in the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship.

The Demon Wolf Mountain Range was a forbidden place located in the southernmost part of the Ten Saints Empire. Legend had it that an ancient ferocious beast, the Dark Fighting Wolf, lived here. Even the Ten Saints Empire, one of the four great empires of God's Domain, dared not provoke it, because the strength of this Dark Fighting Wolf was no less than that of a fifth-tier adult Dragon King. It was a terrifying existence that could even fight against a sixth-tier God.

Moreover, the entire mountain range was covered in an aura of destruction. Second-tier class players could not survive for more than three hours, let alone the Dark Wolf clan that lived inside. It could be said that every Dark Wolf inherited the bloodline of the Dark Fighting Wolf, and their strength was no less than that of bloodline creatures of the same tier. This made the major super forces dare not step into this place casually.

"Guild Leader, what are we doing here? I feel that even we third-tier class players will find it difficult to cope with the environment here. We're not going to level up here, are we?" Cola looked at the large pack of wolves below the flying ship, feeling slightly nervous.

Since advancing to the third tier, he felt that facing level 100 Grand Lords should be as easy as playing a game. However, the Three-Eyed Magic Wolves in front of him made him feel a threat of death, especially the Three-Eyed Magic Wolves of the Grand Lord level.

At this time, not only Cola had this feeling. Yan Tianxing and the others present also had this feeling of death lingering in their hearts, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

"Of course, we're not here to level up. The monsters here are all stingy, and they give very little experience. The wolf packs are almost all groups of five or six hundred. Even a normal third-tier hundred-man team would have a hard time, let alone us now." Shi Feng shook his head.

"Guild Leader, then what are we here for?" Yan Tianxing on the side was also a little confused.

Now that Zero Wing had so many third-tier class players, they should be attacking those level 100 team dungeons and taking advantage of the best opportunity to gain an advantage at level 100. Coming here now was letting the accumulated huge advantage slip away little by little.

"We're going to open a teleportation channel to the Western Continent!" Shi Feng said with a smile.

For the major super forces, if they had so many third-tier class players, they would definitely attack level 100 team dungeons as soon as possible, or deal with those wild Bosses to accumulate an advantage in weapons and equipment, so that more people in the guild could advance to the third tier.

However, in his opinion, this kind of accumulation was too slow. After all, Zero Wing was not one of those super forces with countless experts under its command. If they wanted to rise quickly, they could only spend a lot of resources to build up their strength. Going back and forth between the two continents was undoubtedly the fastest shortcut to earn resources.

He didn't have the ability to do so before, but now that Cola and the others had advanced to the third tier, he had some possibility of opening the teleportation channel to the Western Continent. Naturally, he had to try it as soon as possible.
