Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 761 Tributes from All Sides
In the spacious, top-tier forging room, Shi Feng carefully retrieved the alchemic treasure, the Sage's Stone, and placed it on the stone table, beginning the alchemic synthesis.
"Hopefully, ten thousand magic crystals will be enough," Shi Feng thought, feeling a pang of regret as he looked at the 50% success rate.
During the great battle in the Stoneclaw Mountains, each shot from the Magic Pulse Cannon consumed a thousand magic crystals.
Aqua Rose had fired no less than twenty or thirty shots at the time.
It was exhilarating, but the majority of Zero Wing's hard-earned magic crystal reserves had been depleted. Now, using another ten thousand of the remaining fifteen thousand was a significant expense for Zero Wing.
As Shi Feng synthesized the magic crystals, Fire Dance sat quietly beside him, watching.
"I wonder when I can truly be of help to the Guild Leader," Fire Dance couldn't help but think about the dangers of the recent battle, feeling somewhat unwilling.
If Shi Feng hadn't single-handedly turned the tide in the battle against the Seven Sins Flowers, she feared that none of their main force would have survived.
Despite having a significant advantage in basic attributes, they couldn't do anything against the Seven Sins Flowers' small squad leaders.
Although they had achieved a great victory, they were still far from comparable to the major forces in God's Domain.
...
Stone Forest Town.
After the great battle between Star River Alliance and Zero Wing, the atmosphere in Stone Forest Town underwent a tremendous change.
Originally, the major guilds had been eyeing Stone Forest Town covetously, waiting for Zero Wing to suffer a defeat and a significant loss of guild members, then launching a joint attack. But all of this faded away with the defeat of Star River Alliance.
Moreover, in this battle, everyone had witnessed Zero Wing's true strength.
In this battle, Star River Alliance suffered over fifty thousand deaths, and the various guilds suffered over fifty thousand deaths, totaling over a hundred thousand elites. In contrast, Zero Wing only lost 4,128 members, and Snake Worship died nearly thirty thousand.
Based on the number of deaths on both sides, one could see Zero Wing's power.
Even an elite army of ten thousand could easily defeat an elite army of tens of thousands, and Zero Wing Guild had more than twenty thousand elite members, equivalent to more than a hundred thousand elite troops.
With such strength, which guild would dare to deal with Zero Wing?
Star River Alliance was the best example.
After Star River Alliance was defeated, more than a thousand people quit the guild at the time. And because the guild's higher-ups had not shown up, even though some guild elders came forward to stabilize the situation, more than thirty thousand players had left Star River Alliance to this day. As time passed, more people would leave the guild.
The major guilds had only made preliminary estimates. Star River Alliance's membership would be reduced by at least two or three percent because of this battle, and it would be difficult to get back on its feet.
Although neither side benefited from the great battle, the virtual game's great battles were different.
Players had more than one life.
Although the number of Zero Wing and Snake Worship casualties seemed to be nearly half, the number of players recruited now far exceeded the number of dead players. Moreover, because of the great victory, they had gained a lot of weapons and equipment, which greatly enriched the guild warehouse. The guild's prestige was even greater than before, and its strength was greater than before.
This made many guilds envious.
In contrast, Star River Alliance went directly from the overlord of Star-Moon Kingdom to being replaced by Snake Worship, becoming the number one guild in Star-Moon Kingdom.
One was the number one guild in Star-Moon Kingdom, and the other was the number one guild in White River City.
With the alliance of the two major guilds, who could do anything to Stone Forest Town?
On the contrary, Zero Wing had cleaned up the main enemies and now had the energy to deal with the other guilds that were plotting against Stone Forest Town.
For a time, the major guilds were in danger.
They didn't know what Zero Wing would do next.
If they directly joined forces with Snake Worship to monopolize the Stoneclaw Mountains, the major guilds would have no way to deal with it.
Now, the Stoneclaw Mountains had become an important source of magic crystals for the major guilds. If they were all driven out of Stone Forest Town, the number of magic crystals they received every day would be greatly reduced, causing the guild's development to stagnate.
Therefore, after the war, the presidents or senior officials of the major guilds ran to Zero Wing's guild residence, wanting to talk to Shi Feng about cooperation.
However, Shi Feng didn't have that much time to waste on negotiations, so he directly handed it over to Aqua Rose.
Inside the Zero Wing residence's reception room, the presidents or senior officials of the major guilds of Star-Moon Kingdom were seated. These guild presidents and senior officials, who were usually rarely seen, were now gathered in one place and had to wait in line to be summoned. Ordinary players would be stunned.
"Next!" Aqua Rose's female assistant, Xiao Zhao, shouted in the reception room.
Immediately, Bai Shi Wushuang, the president of the second-rate guild Heavenly Wheel Gate, stood up and walked into the Zero Wing conference room.
Bai Shi Wushuang was a level 34 Ranger, equipped with level 30 Fine-Gold equipment or above, and a master who had reached the sixth floor of the Trial Tower. Putting this kind of strength in an ordinary NPC city, he was definitely a first-class expert, but this little bit of strength was not worth mentioning in front of Aqua Rose.
Heavenly Wheel Gate occupied two cities as a second-rate guild, and was considered a dominant force in Star-Moon Kingdom. However, Bai Shi Wushuang had to be respectful when he walked into the conference room.
It was true that Heavenly Wheel Gate occupied two cities, but there weren't many players in these two cities. The total number of players added up to less than 400,000, while the number of players in White River City was now about five million. The population was more than ten times that of Heavenly Wheel Gate, and the number of elite players and expert players gathered in White River City was extremely large, which was not comparable to other cities.
"Guild President Bai Shi, let's not waste any time. This is the contract. If you think there is no problem, just sign it." Aqua Rose directly took out a contract and handed it to Bai Shi Wushuang.
The content of the contract was very simple: if you want to stay in Stone Forest Town in the future, you must directly hand over 15% of the guild's magic crystal income, or you will be kicked out of Stone Forest Town.
Stone Forest Town was just a small town after all, and the number of players it could accommodate was limited, unlike a city that could accommodate more than 300,000 players.
In the early stages, there were few people in Stone Forest Town, so it didn't matter if fees were not charged. However, when mainstream players reached level 30, there would be more people going to the Stoneclaw Mountains.
They couldn't let other guilds and players occupy it for free, so they had to charge a certain fee, just like the city entry fee. The purpose of establishing a guild town was not to do charity.
Of course, it was impossible for the town to directly charge an entry fee, but the repair fee and accommodation fee could be adjusted. Guilds that did not sign the contract would have their repair fees and accommodation fees increased by two or three times, but guilds that signed the contract would have the same repair fees and accommodation fees as before.
"You!" Bai Shi Wushuang's face turned green when he saw it. He didn't expect Zero Wing to do this, and they wanted magic crystals so badly, as if they were all working for Zero Wing.
"If there is nothing else, please leave." Aqua Rose pointed to the door of the conference room.
