Chapter 387 The Restored Kate

After Kate became Shi Feng's direct guard, he opened the small crystal bottle and drank the Water of Life in one gulp.

When Aqua Rose saw Kate gulp down the Water of Life, worth three hundred gold, even as a young lady from a rich family, she couldn't help but reveal a pained expression.

The other members of the guild also swallowed hard.

Three hundred gold!

It was enough to fully equip a twenty-man team with mithril-grade equipment, but now it was given to an unremarkable, crippled NPC, making them all feel envious.

Shi Feng didn't care what the others thought.

Back then, Drunken Xiao was famous throughout the game world because of Kate, his direct guard. Countless first-rate and even super guilds offered exorbitant prices to buy Kate, but Drunken Xiao never sold him.

Was there a better deal than buying a future Tier 5 Sword Saint with three hundred gold?

Not long after Kate drank the Water of Life, a verdant light bloomed from his body. This light was the Light of Life, which not only possessed terrifying healing power but also the effect of dispelling all abnormal statuses.

Streams of black smoke were expelled from Kate's body. Before long, Kate's pale complexion became rosy, and his severed arm began to recover at a visible rate.

In just one minute, Kate had fully recovered.

"Guild Leader, he..." Aqua Rose couldn't believe her eyes. She had already developed a keen intuition and immediately noticed the difference in Kate.

Although Kate's clothes were still tattered, he gave off a completely new feeling, like a lion that had been trapped in a cage, now breaking free and roaring to prove to everyone that he had returned.

"This is the real him," Shi Feng said with a smile.

In the previous timeline, Drunken Xiao had gone to great lengths for this Kate, spending countless time, energy, and resources, practically bankrupting himself to finally obtain a drop of the Water of Life to restore Kate.

But in this life, Shi Feng had easily accomplished it, and Kate was only level 30.

In the previous timeline, Drunken Xiao didn't obtain the Water of Life until Kate was over level 100.

With the same growth potential, there was a huge difference between nurturing someone from level 30 and nurturing someone from level 100.

"As expected, his potential is astonishing." Shi Feng looked at Kate's attributes again and couldn't help but be happy.

Kate, Night Blade's direct guard, male, age 39, Loyalty 90, Charm 75, Constitution 95, Intelligence 88, Level 30, Class Tier 1 Swordsman.

Growth Potential: 94.

Strength 348, Agility 364, Stamina 420, Spirit 280, Intelligence 276.

HP 15400, Attack Power 830-960, Defense 4500.

Compared to his previous attributes, it was a world of difference.

"As expected, drinking the Water of Life earlier also has an impact on growth potential." Shi Feng knew that Kate's growth potential in the previous timeline was 92, but now it was a full 2 points higher. The higher the potential value, the harder it was to increase it. After 90 points, even a 1-point increase would make a significant difference in attributes, let alone 2 points. This would be of great help to Kate's future growth.

"Kate, take these equipment for now." Shi Feng took out some level 20 Mysterious-Iron-grade weapons and equipment from his backpack. Although it was a bit shabby for the level 30 Kate, it was all he could offer. After all, Zero Wing Guild had not yet started raiding team dungeons at the level 20 range, and was only doing five-person small dungeons.

As soon as Kate put on the level 20 Mysterious-Iron-grade equipment, he immediately became heroic and extraordinary, and his attributes were greatly improved. His HP instantly broke through 18,000, his base attack power exceeded 1,400, and his defense reached 6,000. His defense was much higher than that of the main MT Cola, making him a completely humanoid Boss.

"Let's go, let's recruit some more people." Shi Feng then led everyone to the Mercenary Alliance.

The Mercenary Alliance was the best place to recruit ordinary guards. The people in the Mercenary Alliance were well-trained, which was much more reliable than recruiting people randomly on the street.

Ordinary guards were different from direct guards. Ordinary guards had to be paid, and the price varied according to their strength. At Shi Feng's level, he could only recruit level 50 Tier 1 NPC guards at most.

Ordinary level 50 guards cost 5 silver coins a day, and were paid every ten days.

Level 50 Tier 1 guards cost 30 silver coins a day, and were paid every ten days.

The difference between ordinary guards and Tier 1 guards was like the difference between ordinary monsters and elite monsters, so Tier 1 guards cost six times as much, and some of the more powerful ones cost even more.

Arriving at the Mercenary Alliance, Shi Feng didn't say a word and directly signed contracts with 48 level 50 Tier 1 NPCs. Among these people, there were melee fighters, ranged attackers, and healers. Six of them were more powerful, reaching the level of advanced Tier 1, costing 50 silver coins a day. Shi Feng also recruited them, and prepaid one month's fee, totaling 468 gold.

This financial strength completely made all the guilds in White River City look up to him.

Having recruited 48 level 50 Tier 1 guards at once, walking on the street was a magnificent and imposing sight. Many players consciously stepped aside, not daring to block their way.

"Damn, so many Tier 1 NPCs, what the hell is going on in White River City?"

"No, look, some of them aren't NPCs, they're players!"

"Isn't that Zero Wing Guild? Where are they going?"

The players on the street quickly discovered the problem. This NPC army was actually with Zero Wing Guild, and they were all level 50 Tier 1 classes. With such an NPC army, who in White River City would dare to be their enemy?

Even if Dark Star had an army of tens of thousands, they wouldn't be enough to face so many level 50 Tier 1 classes. The level suppression alone was enough to make players have no way to deal with these NPCs, not to mention that these Tier 1 classes also possessed many powerful skills.

"This is so cool, Zero Wing Guild is awesome!"

"I heard that Zero Wing Guild is recruiting in three days, I must try it."

More and more players gathered on the street, and many turned on their cameras to film this spectacular scene. An NPC army of nearly 50 people was even more imposing than thousands of troops.

This combat power was not much worse than a player's starting town.

Although people didn't know what the relationship between this NPC army and Zero Wing Guild was, being able to mobilize so many NPCs was enough to amaze people.

And this matter quickly caused a sensation on the official website forum, pushing Zero Wing Guild's reputation to a new peak.

However, Zero Wing's leadership of the NPC army made the faces of the members of Dark Star Guild extremely ugly. They were afraid that Zero Wing would lead this group of NPCs to attack them. They were either hiding in cities and towns, or taking off their guild emblems and quietly grinding monsters.

At the same time, the people of Heroes Alliance were also like frightened birds, not daring to level up in the wild.
