Chapter 1 Trade Street in Cold Wind City

"Guild Leader, there are more and more people following us now. I'm afraid the Gais Family has already noticed us. Should we tell Brother Yefeng?" Yan Ya glanced at the players staring at them on the street, feeling worried.

The Gais Family members had just been killed; it was bound to cause an uproar.

Now, they were walking openly on the street as if nothing had happened, which was simply a slap in the face to the Gais Family. When they came, they definitely wouldn't let it go.

Cold Wind City was not like the wilderness. There were thousands of Gais Family members in the city. Killing a player in the city was as easy as playing a game, especially since they were still in a Soul Death state.

Gu Jiuji nodded in agreement.

Knowing the Gais Family's character of exacting revenge for the smallest grievance, he knew they would not hesitate to attack even in the city. Although he believed in Shi Feng's strength, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take advantage against the Gais Family, who had the home-field advantage.

"Brother Yefeng, why don't we go to the library first? If we stay here, the Gais Family will probably gather. It will be very troublesome then," Gu Jiuji whispered to Shi Feng.

"Very troublesome?" Shi Feng asked strangely, "Can this city be completely controlled by players?"

Gu Jiuji had not specified the city management model in the Ice Crystal World before. If the city was completely controlled like the Dark Caverns Sanctuary, with the rules set entirely by players, it would indeed be very troublesome.

"That's not the case. It's just that there are many Gais Family members in Cold Wind City," Gu Jiuji shook his head.

"Then it's fine. This is, after all, an NPC city. But I've almost finished browsing the shops. Let's go to the auction house first." Shi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to the Cold Wind Auction House not far away.

"This..." Gu Jiuji and the others were speechless.

They wondered if Shi Feng really knew what "large numbers" meant. Cold Wind City was the main base of the Gais Family, and they could gather tens of thousands of players in minutes. The only one who could compete with them was the Bai Shi Dynasty.

"Guild Leader, what about us..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just accompany you to the end. I hope Lei Zhentian, the Guild Leader of the Gais Family, can be more calm. This is still inside the city, and there are NPC guards patrolling everywhere. Fighting will not benefit the Gais Family."

Gu Jiuji looked at Shi Feng, who was leisurely strolling around, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't understand what a master like Shi Feng was thinking. But since Shi Feng and the others had saved them once, he couldn't leave alone. He could only pray that the Gais Family wouldn't be too crazy.

Walking into the auction house hall, one could find players shouting to sell items everywhere.

"Level 40 superb Fine-Gold weapons, clearance sale! 10 gold coins each, 5% off for two! Bring your own materials, one gold coin handling fee."

"Selling Meteorite Refined Copper cheaply, three gold coins per stack!"

"Selling Frost Iron Ore, one gold coin per stack!"

...

There were more people selling things in the hall than buying them, and even Shi Feng was surprised by what they were selling.

Level 40 Fine-Gold weapons! In the Divine Domain Continent, any one of them would be worth more than 15 gold coins, but here, Fine-Gold weapons only cost 10 gold coins, and they were made by players...

You could earn a five-gold-coin profit just by reselling them, and the major guilds were in urgent need of them, so there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

As for Meteorite Refined Copper, it was also a rare forging material, worth 30 silver coins on the market, and it was very difficult to obtain. A stack of twenty pieces was six gold coins, but it was only selling for three gold coins here, so you could earn double the profit by reselling it.

Moreover, the prices of all kinds of items for making weapons and equipment in the hall were generally much lower than in the Divine Domain Continent. In addition, forging resources were quite abundant, even surpassing empires known for producing ore.

"This is really a good place, but unfortunately, I can't come and go here freely. I can only buy some rare materials when I leave." Shi Feng looked at the players selling rare ores and various raw materials everywhere, and couldn't help but sigh.

If he could travel freely between the two places, the speed of earning money would probably be faster than in Stone Forest Town. Moreover, he could use a large number of raw materials to cultivate several forging masters. After all, creating new items required various materials for experimentation. With so many rare materials, he could experiment as much as he wanted.

Because of this, the level of forgers in Cold Wind City was generally higher than that of Candlelight Firm, but there were no forging grandmasters to oversee it. And the Ice Crystal World was not just one NPC city.

According to Gu Jiuji, there were clearly other NPC cities in the Ice Crystal World, and there were quite a few of them. Now that players were leveling up, the major guilds were also starting to prepare to challenge the life-forbidden zone, the Ice Snow Great Rift Valley. They would come into contact with cities in other regions by then. That's why the Gais Family wanted to decide the victor with the Bai Shi Dynasty before that happened.

He even suspected that the first place where a forging grandmaster would appear might be the Ice Crystal World.

However, buying a large number of materials required a lot of gold coins, and he didn't bring many gold coins before coming to the Ice Crystal World. The only thing he could do was to sell all the ordinary equipment dropped by the Gais Family at a low price.

Such as Mithril and Fine-Gold weapons and equipment. As for Dark-Gold ones, there were not many, and they were also very valuable to Zero Wing Guild, so Shi Feng kept them. As for the other gold coins, he could only think of another way.

After Shi Feng finished processing the Gais Family's weapons and equipment, he left the auction house and prepared to go directly to the library to look up information.

This made Gu Jiuji and the others breathe a sigh of relief. Shi Feng was finally willing to leave this place of trouble.

But as soon as Shi Feng and the others left the gate of the auction house, they saw a shocking scene.

The bustling street, which was originally full of pedestrians, was now full of players, all staring at them, and these players all wore the Gais Family's guild emblem.

At a glance, the number of players exceeded ten thousand...

At this time, the Gais Family members were all murderous, scaring the surrounding players to the point that they dared not approach the auction house at all, and could only watch from a distance, for fear of being killed by the Gais Family members.

"What's going on?"

"Is the Gais Family going to rob the auction house?"

"What do you know? A master killed a member of the Gais Family before, and now the Gais Family is going to deal with him!"

"Isn't that too much? Is it really necessary to use so many people just to deal with one player?"

...

The crowd on the street was shocked by the majestic scene in front of them. Each player in the Gais Family was above level 43, and their equipment was enviable.

Ten thousand people gathered together was simply suffocating, not to mention that the Gais Family members were not targeting outsiders like them. At this time, they were all staring at Shi Feng and the others who had just come out. The pressure was conceivable.

"This... Has the Gais Family gone crazy?" Gu Jiuji also felt unprecedented pressure from this scene.

Before, he thought that the Gais Family would be willing to send thousands of experts at most, but he did not expect Lei Zhentian to be so ruthless, directly dispatching an army of ten thousand to block and kill.

Even Jing Wuming, the number one expert in Cold Wind City, probably didn't have this treatment.

However, just as the Gais Family members finished gathering, there was a sudden commotion on the street. Another group of players slowly walked over from the other end of the street. Although the number of people was not as large as the Gais Family, there were also two or three thousand people, all wearing the Bai Shi Dynasty's guild emblem.

In an instant, the experts from the two major guilds in Cold Wind City gathered in front of the auction house gate. Then, the guild leaders of the two major guilds walked out of the crowd at the same time.

And both of them looked at Shi Feng, who had just walked out.

"You are the master who killed Di Yufeng?" Lei Zhentian and Ba Dao Changkong asked almost in unison.

The crowd watching the scene was dumbfounded.
