Chapter 1 Star-Moon City

Inside the Star-Moon City's teleportation hall, a flash of light appeared, and a group of players materialized in the bustling hall. As they appeared, many players in the hall turned to look.

The reason was simple: this twenty-person team had impressive levels and equipment. The lowest level among them was 47, and the worst equipment was all Fine-Gold grade of level 45. The leading man and woman were even more powerful, reaching level 49, and their equipment was uniformly Dark-Gold grade of level 45...

Even experts from first-rate guilds were no more than this. However, these people didn't wear any guild emblems, clearly indicating they were free players.

"What a formidable team. Who are they?"

"Didn't you see the Fire Fox insignia on their cloaks? They are the Fire Cloud Fox adventurer team, ranked among the top fifty in the Black Dragon Empire. Look, that Shield Warrior is their leader, Can Yun. He's ranked among the top hundred Shield Warriors in the Black Dragon Empire. I heard several first-rate guilds in the Black Dragon Empire offered him high prices to join, but he refused."

"If they are an adventurer team from the Black Dragon Empire, why are they here in our Star-Moon Kingdom?"

"The Fire Cloud Fox came entirely because of Stone Forest Town. After all, the Colosseum in Stone Forest Town is a good place for experts like them to train and improve. However, I heard recently that Fire Cloud Fox is moving their headquarters to Zero Wing City. Although the Colosseum in Zero Wing City is not as good as the one in Stone Forest Town, the mana density is higher."

The players in the hall, seeing the imposing Fire Cloud Fox team, couldn't help but discuss them. Some adventurer teams even looked at the Fire Cloud Fox with envy. After all, the Fire Cloud Fox was an adventurer team that even first-rate guilds wanted to recruit, a distinction not every adventurer team could achieve.

"It's such a hassle to travel back and forth to the Orc Empire. Guild Leader, can't we level up somewhere else next time?" The Vice Guild Leader, Yue Wange, wasn't interested in the surrounding discussions. She turned to Can Yun and said, "The Orc invasion is getting more and more serious. In just a few days, the number and quality of the Orcs we encounter on the road have increased significantly. If this continues, it will seriously affect our leveling."

"You think too highly of yourself. If we don't go to the Orc Empire to do quests and kill members of the Tianzang Guild, how will our entire team get mounts?" Can Yun said unhappily. "Although it affects our leveling speed, and the road to the Orc Empire is getting harder and harder, these opportunities to earn money are rare. Okay, let's go to Zero Wing City to exchange our bounties now."

"I understand, but you've seen those Orcs. They're getting stronger and stronger. From elites at the beginning to leaders now. Even their combat skills are constantly improving. The next time we go to the Orc Empire, I estimate it will take us several more hours," Yue Wange said with a headache.

It wasn't very far from the teleportation town in the Star-Moon Kingdom to the territory of the Orc Empire, but the Orc patrol squads that appeared along the way were increasing, causing them to spend more and more time on the road. Almost half of their time was spent on the patrolling Orcs.

"Indeed, those Orcs are getting stronger. If the Orcs get stronger again next time, we'll go somewhere else to level up and do quests. Anyway, our adventurer team has earned almost enough now, plus some of our previous savings. It should be enough to buy a private residence in Zero Wing City," Can Yun thought for a moment, feeling that Yue Wange made sense.

Earning money was important, but they couldn't neglect their levels. If the Orcs continued to strengthen, it wouldn't be worth it to level up in the Orc Empire's territory. Like the other average adventurer teams he knew, they had already given up on going to the Orc Empire and chose to level up in other maps. Their leveling speed was even faster than theirs.

Just as Can Yun and the others were preparing to go to Zero Wing City, they suddenly heard some players nearby discussing Zero Wing City.

"Is the Zero Wing Guild lying? Can Zero Wing City really have such ability?"

"It should be fake. Randomly teleporting to the surrounding 4,000,000-yard range? Wouldn't that mean we could immediately reach the area where we want to level up and level up as we please?"

"This is the Zero Wing Guild's announcement. How could it be fake? If it were fake, it would be exposed instantly. And didn't you see the price of the teleportation? It's simply outrageous. We ordinary players can't earn much in a day. If we teleport, all the money we earn in a day will be contributed to Zero Wing."

"Zero Wing is too strong. They can even come up with something like this. No wonder they are the number one guild in our Star-Moon Kingdom!"

…

The players on the street were chatting enthusiastically about the sudden announcement from the Zero Wing Guild, and many adventurer teams on the street were looking at it with shining eyes.

The location of Zero Wing City was already familiar to the players of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

It wasn't far from the front lines of the Star-Moon Kingdom, separated only by a large forest. A teleportation distance of 4,000,000 yards was enough for the players in Zero Wing City to instantly appear on the border of the Star-Moon Kingdom, directly bypassing the Orc patrol squads on the front lines, saving too much time and danger in the process.

The only drawback was that the price was a bit expensive. If there wasn't a discount, it would cost 20 silver coins per person...

However, this price was a sure profit for strong adventurer teams. After all, the Zero Wing Guild was offering bounties for members of the Tianzang Guild. Killing some Tianzang Guild members would earn back the travel expenses, and the resources in the Orc Empire were richer, making the leveling speed even faster. It was just that running there took too much time.

"Guild Leader, it seems we need to save more money to buy a private residence in Zero Wing City," Yue Wange said, looking at Zero Wing's announcement and smiling at Guild Leader Can Yun.

"This Zero Wing Guild really doesn't give us any chance. If only they had sold private residences first!" Can Yun was both happy and pained by this new information.

The original benefits of Zero Wing City were already powerful enough, and now with the appearance of the teleportation function, any adventurer teams and expert players who wanted to go to the Orc Empire would definitely choose Zero Wing City. After all, time was the greatest resource. 20 silver coins was nothing to expert players, and it wasn't a big deal for powerful adventurer teams. As long as they obtained one or two pieces of equipment, they could cover the teleportation fee. Not to mention that becoming a member would give them a 20% discount.

Moreover, it wasn't just players from the Star-Moon Kingdom. Players from other kingdoms and empires would probably also go directly from Zero Wing City to the Orc Empire. After all, the Orcs in each kingdom were getting stronger and stronger. If they really walked all the way there, it would only take more and more time in the future.

While Can Yun was racking his brains about how to buy a private residence in Zero Wing City, many adventurer teams and players resting in Zero Wing City were also in an uproar. Adventurer teams and players who had originally wanted to go to the Orc Empire also changed their minds and went directly to the Four Elements Tower, spending 20 silver coins to teleport to the border of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

As more and more players confirmed that it was true, many adventurer teams and expert players registered as members of Zero Wing. In less than an hour, more than 1,042 people became members of Zero Wing's teleportation array, bringing more than 20,000 magic crystals to the Zero Wing Guild. The speed of earning magic crystals was even faster than the Colosseum.

As for the number of players who teleported out, it was even greater, exceeding 2,000 people. After all, not everyone was willing to pay with magic crystals. And for each player teleported out to the maximum distance, deducting energy consumption and maintenance fees, Zero Wing could directly earn 12 silver coins. Two thousand people immediately earned 240 gold coins.

However, compared to these, the number of players coming to Zero Wing City was the most terrifying. In less than an hour, the number of players in Zero Wing City exceeded two million. Many were members of adventurer teams from other kingdoms and empires. The entrance fee earned them another fortune…
