Chapter 1 Stone Forest City, Candlelight Trading Firm

Under the guidance of an NPC, the two Hidden Ones arrived at the top floor of the Candlelight Trading Firm, in a primary meditation room. Inside, an elegant and quiet space, a woman dressed in a deep blue, ornate mage robe, her whole being exuding a faint magical aura, was focused intently on creating a potion. Her every movement was smooth and flowing, captivating to watch.

In just a short while, a potion radiating a dense magical power formed in her hands.

"A Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potion created so easily?"

"She's probably not far from becoming a Alchemy Grandmaster."

Hidden One and the bald middle-aged man who entered the room couldn't help but be secretly astonished by this scene.

Grandmaster-level Magic Resistance Potions were already very rare and valuable in the market because they allowed players to easily operate in harsh maps above level 100, without having to worry about various adverse magical environments. Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potions were even better. Not only could they allow Tier 2 class players to withstand harsh environments, but their duration could also reach twenty-four hours.

These harsh maps above level 100 all possessed rich resources, especially those above level 110, where the environment was extremely poor. Although Tier 3 classes fared better, it was difficult for Tier 2 class players to endure. However, Tier 3 classes were ultimately a minority in the major powers. The main force relied on Tier 2 classes to collect various resources, while also accelerating their own advancement. Therefore, the market demand for Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potions was extremely high.

However, Grandmaster-level potions were not easy to make, let alone Advanced Magic Resistance Potions. Even if the same Alchemy Grandmaster were to make a Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potion, the success rate would be less than 30%, and the speed would be very slow. Moreover, Alchemy Grandmasters were extremely rare in the major powers, which meant the supply of Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potions was far from meeting demand.

Yet, Miao Wu Yin created a Grandmaster-level Advanced Magic Resistance Potion so easily and leisurely, and the time it took was so short that she could be worth three to five Alchemy Grandmasters. She was probably only a step away from advancing to Alchemy Grandmaster.

However, what surprised them even more than Miao Wu Yin's alchemy level was that her current level had reached 111, one level higher than both of them…

"The outside world has always said that Stone Forest City is a leveling paradise. It seems that it is indeed true." Hidden One looked at the level displayed by Miao Wu Yin and was filled with shock.

Miao Wu Yin was not a purely adventurous player. Even though alchemy could increase experience points, it was still inferior to adventurous players who were always doing quests and grinding monsters in the wild, after all, adventurous players devoted all their energy to leveling up and improving their strength, which was incomparable to lifestyle players.

Yet, even so, Miao Wu Yin was able to surpass them in level, which showed the extraordinary nature of Zero Wing.

"Fifth Uncle, Elder Hidden One, isn't there still some time before the family competition? Why have you suddenly come here?" Miao Wu Yin looked at the two people who entered the room and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The Azure Chamber of Commerce's family competition was held once a year, and the time was almost fixed. There should still be six days left. Even if the family wanted to take her to the West Continent, they should only arrive one day in advance at most. This sudden visit really puzzled her, and even the Elder Hidden One, who was stationed in Demon Stone Town, had come in person. It didn't seem like they were here to take her to participate in the family competition at all.

"There is indeed still some time before the family competition, but we are not here solely for the family competition." The middle-aged bald man looked at Miao Wu Yin and said slowly, "I think you should know that our family can have its current position in the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and the Azure Chamber of Commerce can thrive in the West Continent, mainly because of the support of the Zeus Conglomerate."

"Does the Zeus Conglomerate have something going on?" Miao Wu Yin asked strangely.

The Zeus Conglomerate was one of the top ten conglomerates in the world. The Azure Chamber of Commerce's ability to have its current position and influence in God's Domain was definitely inseparable from the support of the Zeus Conglomerate. Moreover, the Zeus Conglomerate also held a considerable number of shares in the super guild Violet Sword.

Violet Sword was a very old super guild, existing for more than a century. It was considered one of the earliest super guilds and was second only to the five super guilds in everyone's minds. Because of this, the Azure Chamber of Commerce's development in the West Continent was quite smooth.

"That's right. Violet Sword is currently in urgent need of various life masters. The Zeus Conglomerate has decided to let us fully assist Violet Sword. And you are the number one alchemist of the younger generation in our family. Naturally, you will inevitably develop in Violet Sword in the future. So, we are here specifically to take you to Violet Sword." The bald middle-aged man nodded.

"Develop in Violet Sword? But…" Miao Wu Yin was immediately stunned when she heard this.

"I know you want to develop in Zero Wing, after all, Zero Wing has helped you a lot." The bald middle-aged man looked at Miao Wu Yin and said rather helplessly, "But you should also be very clear that our family and the Azure Chamber of Commerce can have what we have today, thanks to the support of the Zeus Conglomerate. Even our Azure Chamber of Commerce can guard the first-tier mineral veins, thanks to the Zeus Conglomerate's help. You are the person that the Zeus Conglomerate has specifically requested. If you don't go, don't even mention whether our family wants to get the support of the Zeus Conglomerate, even the mineral veins that the Azure Chamber of Commerce relies on to survive may not be able to be guarded!"

The Zeus Conglomerate was very wealthy and powerful. It also had strong strength in the West Continent. It could be said that with just a word, not only would their Pang family be unable to gain a foothold in the Azure Chamber of Commerce, but the Azure Chamber of Commerce itself would fall into a major crisis.

"Fifth Uncle, can you let me think about it carefully? I need some time." Miao Wu Yin hesitated for a moment.

"We could ignore what you wanted to do in the past, but now it concerns the future of the family. You can't be willful!" The bald middle-aged man looked at Miao Wu Yin, who was hesitating again and again, and said in a cold voice, "After the family competition, you must go to Violet Sword to develop. Prepare yourself well during this period. As for Zero Wing, we will help you settle it. You don't have to worry about this!"

After saying that, the bald middle-aged man and Hidden One directly left the primary meditation room where Miao Wu Yin was. Only Miao Wu Yin, who couldn't say a word for a long time, sat quietly in the primary meditation room.

After the bald middle-aged man and Hidden One left the Candlelight Trading Firm, they headed towards Zero Wing's residence.

"Wu Shang, aren't you being a little too hasty in doing this? We should at least give Wu Yin some time to adapt." Hidden One said, looking at the bald middle-aged man on the street.

"Adapt? You think I don't want to?" The bald middle-aged man Pang Wu Shang said with a wry smile, "The Zeus Conglomerate has already issued a final notice. Even the Zeus Conglomerate has long ago sent the younger generation of other families to Violet Sword for improvement for this family competition. The purpose is to beat our Pang family."

"But even so, I'm afraid that girl Wu Yin won't be easy to talk to." Hidden One said.

"It's indeed not easy to talk to Wu Yin. Her personality is too stubborn. That's why we need to go to Zero Wing. As long as Zero Wing lets go, that girl Wu Yin will naturally be easy to talk to." Pang Wu Shang said slowly.

"But what if Zero Wing doesn't let go? You have to know that the current Zero Wing is not easy to provoke." Hidden One said worriedly.

"That's why I asked you to come, didn't I?" Pang Wu Shang glared at Hidden One, then turned his gaze to the Zero Wing residence not far away and sneered, "Moreover, this matter is not up to Zero Wing to decide. If they let go, that's fine. If they don't let go, then Zero Wing will be waiting for the Zeus Conglomerate's anger!"
