Chapter 19 The Terrifying Value of Ye Feng

Although Fengyun Wu Hui was not exactly famous, he was still a core member of the Martial Union, and he had been in several big scandals and had an irreconcilable feud with Shi Feng, so he was considered to have some notoriety.

But no one expected Fengyun Wu Hui to apologize in public.

Many people were blinded by this information.

The Martial Union was, after all, a large guild, and for it to yield to a free player was not unheard of in the history of virtual games, but it was extremely rare, especially in a game like God's Domain, which had not been open for long.

Right now, the difference in strength between players was mainly reflected in technique, which could be made up for with numbers, but Fengyun Wu Hui had backed down, which was completely unbelievable.

"Can someone tell me what happened?"

"Wow, is this the rise of the free players?"

"Ye Feng is indeed my idol. So what if you have a guild? You still have to back down."

The official White River City regional forum exploded instantly, like a small stone thrown into a calm pool. The ripples spread as everyone began to express their opinions, especially the free players.

Guild players and free players have always had conflicts in virtual reality games, but this was unavoidable. After all, to surpass others, one needed more resources. Guilds naturally occupy these resources, while free players, being weaker, could only give way, hence the conflict.

Now, Shi Feng, a free player, had made a large guild yield, which undoubtedly resonated with many free players.

However, for the coalition to suppress Shi Feng, it was a bomb, filled with dangerous implications.

Fengyun Wu Hui, who had initially taken the lead in wanting to destroy Shi Feng, had actually withdrawn without saying anything. What power had made Fengyun Wu Hui do this? This made the other guilds in the coalition nervous.

"Brother Zhang, what do we do?" Yan Hu asked in a low voice.

Because of Fengyun Wu Hui's shocking move, the guilds in the coalition were all on edge.

Zhang Luowei pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Ignore it for now. We'll talk after we all enter White River City. But to make someone like Fengyun Wu Hui yield and admit defeat, I really underestimated Ye Feng. Have Lin Feilong find an opportunity to contact Ye Feng and see if we can get Ye Feng to join our Youying. Although Youying is only just starting to develop, we have ample funds. Tell Lin Feilong that as long as Ye Feng agrees, we can offer Ye Feng an honorary elder position, with a million annual salary plus 10% of the shares."

Yan Hu was shocked. He admitted that he was no match for Shi Feng, that Shi Feng was more skilled, but it was not worth making such a big commitment.

An honorary elder was not only laid-back but also had great power. It could be said that besides Lan Ge and Zhang Luowei, he would be the person with the most power in Youying, not to mention the million annual salary plus 10% of the shares. He was only getting a guaranteed monthly salary of twenty thousand.

Yan Hu didn't understand why Shi Feng had so much value to be won over.

But he couldn't say anything and could only do as he was told.

White River City, trade district.

After Shi Feng returned, he first went to the bank warehouse and took out five hundred stacks of Solid Stones to sell off a portion.

Because the price of Solid Stones had risen again, it had reached his estimated 10 Silver coins per stack. Although it would rise later, the increase was almost at the limit that players could bear.

Five hundred stacks of Solid Stones was only a small portion of Shi Feng's personal warehouse because the amount Shi Feng had been acquiring had exceeded ten thousand stacks. This was why the major guilds in White River City couldn't buy them. These were all bought when the Solid Stones were at their cheapest, with a cost of just over thirty gold, but the current price far exceeded that.

"After selling these five hundred stacks, it's about time to have Hei Zi and the others go to the Level 10 team dungeon, Goblin Factory." Shi Feng had already made his plans.

Although Hei Zi and Lonely Snow were high in level, their overall equipment was not very good. The same was true for him, but at least he had the best swordsman set below Level 10, while the equipment of others could be described as terrible.

On the White River City regional level rankings, there were already over five hundred players who had reached Level 10, which meant that the number of players entering White River City exceeded five hundred. The vast majority of these were members of well-known guilds. In addition to doing some quests, their main goal was still dungeons, because dungeons were the main source of equipment. With good equipment, they could level up more efficiently.

So, many guilds were already running dungeons.

White River City was different from small towns. Or rather, when players reached Level 10 and entered the city, the game of God's Domain truly began. The previous small town life was just a process for players to adapt.

There were many Level 10 dungeons throughout the White River City region. There were over 20 small dungeons in the Level 10 to Level 12 category, with varying degrees of difficulty. There were fewer Level 10 team dungeons for 10 players, but there were still twelve. There were three Level 10 large-scale dungeons.

As long as one could clear one of these three major dungeons, one could unlock set equipment exchange. That would be when set equipment was the most valuable.

And after entering White River City, the normal process was to start with small dungeons to improve equipment, then small team dungeons, and finally Level 10 large-scale dungeons. Many guilds had already cleared small dungeons and were constantly improving their equipment. In the end, all the guilds in White River City had only one goal: to get the first clear of the three large-scale team dungeons.

The first clear only counted if it was on hell mode, and the first clear of a large-scale team dungeon was different from the first clear of a small team dungeon. It was an announcement throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom, not just the White River City region. It was definitely the best promotion to increase visibility throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom and a display of the guild's strength.

Therefore, large-scale team dungeons were where the major guilds truly competed.

And frequent battles in dungeons made sharpening stones a strategic resource, which would make these guilds need Solid Stones even more, causing the price of Solid Stones to skyrocket again.

That was why Shi Feng chose this time to sell stones.

Shi Feng was not even considering going to large-scale team dungeons to compete with those well-known guilds. He knew his limits. His goal was only the Level 15 small team dungeon, Demon Castle, but with his current team strength and number of people, he was far from it and still needed to improve.

Arriving at the White River City Auction House, Shi Feng casually found a seat in the corner, opened the auction house system, and chose to sell items in the White River City region. This way, he wouldn't have to pay so many fees, just like selling in the auction house in small towns. Only the auction houses in the small towns of the White River City region could see it.

As for selling to other cities, Shi Feng didn't consider it. The expensive handling fees alone would not be worth it. Besides, other cities were not as scarce as White River City, and the price would definitely be much lower than selling in White River City.

Shi Feng first put up 10 stacks of Solid Stones, with a starting price of 10 Silver coins per stack and a buyout price of 12 Silver coins. He wanted to see the effect. If he put up five hundred stacks at once, it would not only affect the market but also cause the price of Solid Stones to drop. So, he would take it slow, with hunger marketing.

Sure enough, in less than 1 minute, ten stacks of Solid Stones were bought, and all at the buyout price of 12 Silver, without even competing.

"No way." Shi Feng couldn't help but stare blankly after seeing the system prompt from the auction house.

The degree of popularity far exceeded his expectations. Although he knew that Solid Stones were very scarce now, he didn't expect someone to buy them at the buyout price of 12 Silver without saying a word. It was crazy.

Didn't these people know that 1 Silver coin could be exchanged for 107 credits now?

An extra 2 Silver coins was 214 credits, which was one-tenth of the monthly salary of a recent college graduate.
