Chapter 1 The Magic Silver Mine

As Shi Feng and the others departed from the Magic Silver Mine, the entire area fell silent. Everyone was filled with curiosity about the leaving group.

"To be invited personally by the Great Elder of the Divine Intent Tribe, that person is truly extraordinary. It seems the Pang family is set to rise in the upcoming Azure Chamber of Commerce family competition."

The Tier 3 Battle King Elder of the Azure Chamber of Commerce watched Shi Feng and his group leave. He immediately felt that he needed to strengthen his relationship with the Pang family.

In God's Domain, resources are absolutely essential for rapid growth.

Weapons, equipment, skill books, combat techniques, and the like—relying solely on oneself would take too much time. Add to that the need to level up and stay at the forefront, and one would be busy to death. Therefore, all experts need the support of powerful forces. This way, they don't have to be distracted by other matters and can focus on leveling up and improving their combat skills.

That's why free experts find it difficult to compete with experts supported by large forces.

The vast majority of the Azure Chamber of Commerce's resources are controlled by the major families. While the elders also control some resources, they are no match for the major families. After all, those families are the founders of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, possessing absolute shares, so the resources they obtain from the Chamber of Commerce naturally favor their people completely.

The competition among the younger generation of the major families is actually a redistribution of resources. Especially this year, the families are going all out because the impact of the God's Domain virtual reality game on reality is growing. The future benefits are incomparable to previous virtual games.

Now that Miao Wu Yin has the support of a peerless monster like Shi Feng, it's foreseeable that the Pang family will perform well in the family competition and obtain significantly more resources than they do now.

"So what if Hei Yan came to the Western Continent? Miao Wu Yin is doomed to lose in the upcoming family competition!" Yuan Xiao Qian watched the Tier 3 Battle King Elder who wanted to build relationships, her heart full of disdain.

Although Shi Feng's arrival in the Western Continent and his incredibly strong personal strength were beyond her expectations, even if Shi Feng came to the Western Continent, he wouldn't be able to help Miao Wu Yin.

This is because the Chamber of Commerce family competition isn't about alchemy skills or how good one's weapons and equipment are, but about personal combat skills. After all, strength is everything in God's Domain, and the acquisition of weapons, equipment, and other resources is closely related to one's combat skills.

The inheritance and combat in the Western Continent are far more intense than in the Eastern Continent, and the resources for improving combat skills are even better. In particular, the life-and-death battles with the demon armies greatly enhance combat skills. Even if Zero Wing helps Miao Wu Yin with all its might and even comes to the Western Continent to acquire resources, they can't compare to her and other family geniuses who are fighting battles everywhere in the Western Continent.

That's why Pang Xiang Long wanted Miao Wu Yin to come to the Western Continent in the first place. It's ridiculous that Shi Feng thinks his help to Miao Wu Yin will definitely exceed the Azure Chamber of Commerce, which can develop in two continents.

After Shi Feng left, the Azure Chamber of Commerce and the Divine Intent Tribe did not continue to fight. The Vice-Commander of the battle, Maka Frey, was full of questions about the Great Elder's decision, but he had to obey. So he didn't have the heart to command the somewhat chaotic Divine Intent Tribe army and instead ordered everyone to withdraw. He himself took the Scarlet Witch and others directly back to the main camp, Silver Lion City.

He wanted to ask clearly what was going on.

Although Shi Feng is a peerless monster, their Divine Intent Tribe is not comparable to ordinary super forces. Losing so much face would be a laughingstock among the super forces of the Western Continent.

Silvermoon Empire, Silver Lion City.

As rays of light landed in the teleportation hall, Shi Feng, guided by Adolf, the Great Elder of the Divine Intent Tribe, arrived in Silver Lion City, the second largest city in the Silvermoon Empire.

The moment Shi Feng and the others walked out of the teleportation hall, they felt how different this NPC city was from the NPC cities in the Eastern Continent. Even the atmosphere of the entire NPC city was completely different.

"Is this a city in the Western Continent?"

Aqua Rose and the others looked at the scene before them, their hearts filled with surprise.

The NPC cities in the Eastern Continent have a stable atmosphere, but in Silver Lion City, the second-ranked NPC city in the empire, the atmosphere was unusually tense. It was as if everyone, including the NPCs, were in a state of readiness at all times.

What surprised Aqua Rose and the others the most was that there were no patrolling NPC guards in Silver Lion City. Instead, members of the Divine Intent Tribe and NPCs from the Adventurer's Association were maintaining order in the city.

Even the entrance fee was collected by players from the Adventurer's Association. It was as if the entire NPC city was managed by players from the Adventurer's Association, with a degree of freedom far exceeding that of NPC cities in the Eastern Continent.

Walking down the street, Shi Feng and the others could clearly feel that the players in the city had a higher overall combat level, especially in their control of mana, which was far beyond that of the Eastern Continent. This was evident from the magic scrolls sold in the shops on both sides of the street.

In the Eastern Continent, shops in various cities also sell magic scrolls, but the quality of these magic scrolls is generally low, usually at the Tier 1 level. Tier 2 magic scrolls are very rare, let alone Tier 3.

But in Silver Lion City, Tier 2 magic scrolls are common commodities, and Tier 3 magic scrolls are sold, and there are even shops selling intermediate magic barrier scrolls, with prices generally more than half the price of those in the Eastern Continent.

Shi Feng was not surprised by this at all.

The Western Continent has been fighting endless demons since ancient times. The research on magic, especially the application of magic, is much more developed than in the Eastern Continent.

There are even many inheritances that can improve a player's control of mana or teach players how to control mana.

The level of mana control has a great impact on mages. The higher the level of mana control, the easier it is to draw magic arrays. Therefore, there are many more mages in the Western Continent, and he even felt that in the major super forces in the Western Continent, some people have already become magic grandmasters.

With a large number of mages available, there is naturally no shortage of talent in the production of magic scrolls. In addition, killing demons will drop attribute magic cores and various magic materials needed to make magic scrolls, so the price is naturally much cheaper than in the Eastern Continent.

Forces from the Eastern Continent that can come to the Western Continent will almost always buy a large number of magic scrolls to take back to the Eastern Continent. Some can be used for trading, and some can be used by guild members, which both earns money and improves the development speed of guild members, which is incomparable to forces that only develop in the Eastern Continent.

However, after Shi Feng followed the Great Elder all the way to the main street of Silver Lion City, he also felt a hint of surprise.

That is, there are many Tier 3 experts among the free players in Silver Lion City. Although it is still far from matching Stone Forest City, this number is very amazing for the standard of an NPC city. Moreover, among these Tier 3 players, many players have very high life levels.

"Does this place have a large number of channels to obtain special bloodlines?" Shi Feng looked strangely at the Tier 3 free experts coming and going on the street, his heart full of wonder.

Of course, this life level is still not as good as players with bloodlines, but it is higher than ordinary Tier 3 players. Comparing it to monsters, it is like an elite monster among monsters, while players with bloodlines are like boss-level monsters.

In fact, not only these Tier 3 free players, but he also felt it in Maka Frey and others. It's just that Maka Frey and others are all Tier 3 experts of the Divine Intent Tribe, so it's not surprising that they have this special bloodline, but now there are many Tier 3 free experts on the street who have it, which is surprising.

"Guild Leader Hei Yan, it seems you are very curious about why the life levels of those free players are so high." Adolf saw Shi Feng's doubts and said with a smile.

"I am indeed very curious. In theory, permanent items that can increase life level should be very rare. Those who can obtain these items are generally major super forces. Even if free players have the strength, it is difficult to obtain them. But there are many free experts like this here, which is really surprising." Shi Feng nodded, not denying it.

"Actually, this is also the reason why I stopped Maka Frey and invited you, Guild Leader Hei Yan, to come here." Adolf smiled and said, "Our Divine Intent Tribe wants to do a long-term transaction with you, Guild Leader Hei Yan, and this transaction is a special bloodline that can increase a player's life level. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Trading with me? It seems Great Elder Adolf has a certain understanding of me." Shi Feng said with a smile.

"That's right. When Maka Frey sent the news of your appearance back to headquarters as soon as possible, I had already learned about you, Guild Leader Hei Yan, and your guild. After all, there are not many guilds that can make Illusory Myth suffer a small loss." The Great Elder nodded. "I didn't expect that you, Guild Leader Hei Yan, could come to the Western Continent. If Illusory Myth knew about this, they would probably be shocked."

"So you, Great Elder, stopped Maka Frey and the others and came directly to invite me to discuss cooperation?" Shi Feng was also a little surprised by what Great Elder Adolf said. He didn't expect the news from the Eastern Continent to spread to the Western Continent so quickly.

Generally speaking, there is no interaction between the two continents at present, so both sides will not do very detailed investigations on the other side. After all, they are too busy on their own side, so they don't have so much time to care about other things.

"Yes, after all, forces that can cross the two continents are too rare in God's Domain. Our Divine Intent Tribe has always wanted to send people to the Eastern Continent to develop, but we have not found a way to go to the Eastern Continent until now. And those super forces that can cross the two continents charge too harshly." Great Elder Adolf said slowly, "And your appearance is a great thing for our Divine Intent Tribe. I think your Zero Wing also wants to find a powerful force in the Western Continent to cooperate with, otherwise, even if you can provide a large number of resources, there are not enough channels to sell and buy in the Western Continent."

He has clearly understood Zero Wing's situation. It can be said that Zero Wing is superficially infinitely glorious, but in fact, it is full of crises. The guild needs a large number of top experts or Tier 3 experts to hold the line, otherwise, it will be finished sooner or later.

And their Divine Intent Tribe can provide this opportunity.

"You're right. Our Zero Wing does need a strong partner in the Western Continent, and the Divine Intent Tribe is very suitable for this condition. But I have a request." Shi Feng did not deny Adolf's words, but agreed.

Originally, he had thought about cooperating with the Azure Chamber of Commerce, but the Azure Chamber of Commerce originally spanned two continents. Even with Miao Wu Yin, the conditions that could be negotiated were quite limited.

"Request?" Adolf asked curiously, "I wonder what requirements you have, Guild Leader Hei Yan?"

"It's very simple. I need to build a city here in the Western Continent. As long as the Divine Intent Tribe can agree, the Divine Intent Tribe will be our Zero Wing's only partner in the Western Continent." Shi Feng said seriously.
