Chapter 1483 The Price is Too High

In the arena's main hall, everyone complained about the high price of the advanced combat rooms, feeling that Zero Wing's asking price was too high, and only a fool would be willing to rent them.

Not only did the free players think it was too expensive, but even the Zero Wing members gasped when they saw the price.

Two magic crystals for only half an hour.

Even the core members of the guild would feel the pinch with this price, let alone the vast number of ordinary and elite members.

Everyone felt that this price was outrageous and that no one would be willing to pay it.

Fighting in a place with a high concentration of mana does indeed help improve combat skills, but the benefit is limited. Now, two magic crystals for half an hour far exceeded the limit.

Shi Feng smiled as he watched the guild members' discussions in the channel, and then took out a city return scroll from his backpack and began reading it to return to White River City, preparing to go back to White River City first.

His asking price of two magic crystals was indeed shockingly high, and even he thought it was quite expensive.

However, the Trial Tower of the Gods and Demons Arena cost one magic crystal. His virtual space was much better than the Trial Tower. Not only was the mana concentration higher, but he could also fight against virtual creatures that were exactly like himself and had 100% skill completion. It had to be better than the Trial Tower of the Gods and Demons Arena.

That's why he decided to give it a try first. If it didn't work, he could change it to one magic crystal later.

As for the advanced combat rooms, he had already handed over the Evil God's Stone Tablet to Judy for management. When players entered the combat rooms, Judy would naturally activate the virtual space.

Thirty seconds later, a white light flashed in the reception room, and Shi Feng left the arena.

…

In the bustling main hall of the arena on the first floor, a man and a woman suddenly walked in. Both were wearing gorgeous equipment and were at level 43, which was quite eye-catching in the hall, and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Aren't those two Canyun, the leader of the Fire Cloud Fox Adventurer Team from the Black Dragon Empire, and Yue Wange, the vice leader?" A level 41 shield warrior wearing silver armor recognized the two at first glance. "Why are they here?"

"It should be normal. After all, several experts from the Black Dragon Empire have improved in the arena and have achieved good rankings. Some have even entered the top 100 of the professional combat power rankings. Now that they are here, it should be to prepare for the new round of combat power rankings that will begin tomorrow in the Black Dragon Empire," said a level 42 purple-robed elementalist next to him.

"No wonder!" The shield warrior suddenly understood. "I remember that the Fire Cloud Fox Adventurer Team was only one step away from becoming one of the top 50 adventurer teams in the Black Dragon Empire last time. It's a pity that Fire Cloud Fox's strength was ultimately lacking. If Canyun had made it into the top 50 of the professional combat power rankings last time, he might have been able to get the Fire Cloud Fox Adventurer Team on the leaderboards."

"It's probably even more impossible this time. Recently, the major super forces have released the new talents they have been cultivating internally, and they are all preparing to compete for the top ten newcomers in God's Domain. Many geniuses have also emerged from within the first-rate guilds who also want to compete. With such a good opportunity to increase combat experience, how could these newcomers let it go?" The purple-robed elementalist shook his head. "Don't even mention the top 50, even making it into the top 100 would be amazing."

"It's good to develop in the empire. The Tianji Pavilion (Sky Secret Pavilion) holds such professional combat power ranking competitions from time to time in various empires, so there is still a chance to see them in person. Unlike our Star-Moon Kingdom, which has not held one yet," the silver-armored shield warrior said with admiration.

"There's nothing we can do about it. God's Domain is too big, and there are more players than ever before. It's already not easy to count the major empires. Moreover, holding such a competition costs a lot of resources. If you want to count the major kingdoms, the workload is so large that even the Tianji Pavilion would probably be unable to handle it. But maybe there will be one in the future," the purple-robed elementalist sighed, his heart also full of hope.

Only players from the host country have the opportunity to see this kind of competition held by the Tianji Pavilion in person. Players from other kingdoms have no chance at all, because the number of people the stadium can accommodate is limited. The Tianji Pavilion generally only invites well-known players, well-known adventurer teams, and major guilds active in the host empire. Adventurer teams and well-known players from other kingdoms are not included.

However, players participating in the competition are not included. As long as they are active players from the surrounding countries near the empire, they are eligible.

Players from the Star-Moon Kingdom, like them, simply have no chance to see this unprecedented event in person.

"This advanced combat room is so expensive! And it's only for one person. Guild leader, let's just rent a regular combat room," Yue Wange said, clicking her tongue slightly at the price quoted by the NPC.

Although she could afford it, two magic crystals for only half an hour felt like being ripped off.

"Just the advanced combat room. We're only here to try out the mana concentration effect. If we use a regular combat room, we'll probably have to wait a long time. We don't have that much time right now," Canyun shook his head and said to the NPC at the counter, "I'll rent two advanced combat rooms."

"Okay, you need to pay a total of four magic crystals," the beautiful NPC at the counter said with a slight smile.

Canyun then paid four magic crystals, and the beautiful NPC directly gave Canyun two purple crystals, which were special keys to open the corresponding combat room doors.

After Canyun and Yue Wange got the purple crystal keys, they went directly to the distant staircase entrance, without having to wait in line in the resting hall to enter the combat room like other players, which made many players in the resting hall a little envious.

But when they thought that it would cost two magic crystals for half an hour, they shook their heads and gave up one by one.

On the other side, Shi Feng had also returned to White River City. After leaving the teleportation hall, he went straight to the White River City Library.

Due to the sudden situation, the original plan to go to the library to inquire about the Jet-Black Ring was disrupted. Now that the demons disturbing Stone Forest Town had been dealt with, he naturally had to go and ask Xia Lian, because the Jet-Black Ring could not even be detected by the Eye of All-Knowing, so its origin must be extraordinary.

After taking a high-class carriage for more than ten minutes, Shi Feng arrived at the White River City Library.

The library at this time had undergone many changes compared to when Shi Feng last came.

Because White River City had been promoted, the library was even more magnificent than before, and the guards guarding the gate were also much stronger than before, all of them being Tier 2 knights at level 180.

Walking into the library, one could clearly feel that the mana concentration in the library had increased a lot. Studying and training magic here would definitely be much easier than outside, so there were now many more magic-class players coming to the library than before.

Shi Feng did not stay in the lobby on the first floor for long and went straight to the top floor.

Stepping into the hall on the top floor, it was still the same as before, as if his whole body had fallen into a swamp, making people very uncomfortable. Walking into the magnificent palace, Xia Lian was still sitting at her desk as usual, quietly reading the ancient book in her hand, giving people an unspeakable sense of peace and intimacy.

"It seems that your class change went quite smoothly, and you came back so quickly." Xia Lian in the hall looked at Shi Feng who walked in, took a closer look at Shi Feng, and smiled slightly, "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

"Master Xia Lian, I would like to ask you to help me appraise an item." Shi Feng went straight to the point, "This item is very special, and even my Eye of All-Knowing cannot detect it."

"Even your Eye of All-Knowing cannot detect it?" Xia Lian was slightly surprised and put down the ancient book in her hand. "That's interesting, take it out and let me see it."

Shi Feng then took out the Jet-Black Ring obtained from the ancient treasure chest from his backpack.
