Chapter 15 Shi Lin Town

Shi Lin Town, Zero Wing Auction House.

"Qi-ge, your luck is too good today! You actually managed to get over twenty Magic Crystals in a row." A level 42 Elementalist said excitedly to the level 44 Shield Warrior as he entered the auction house. "If we could grind like this for two days straight, we wouldn't have to worry about the level 45 Fury Set."

"My luck is indeed pretty good today. I didn't expect to get so many Magic Crystals in a row. Now, I only need to grind for four or five more days to get the complete Fury Set." The level 44 Shield Warrior nodded, his eyes shining as he talked about the Fury Set.

Currently, his equipment was just a mix-and-match set of level 40 equipment, mainly Fine-Gold ranked. The Fury Set was a level 45 Fine-Gold set. To get it, he could only use Magic Crystals to trade privately with those guilds. If he could equip the Fury Set at level 45, his defense, strength, and health would increase significantly, giving him a chance to fight against level 55 Grand Lords.

"Once Qi-ge equips the Fury Set, our team will be set. Then we'll see how Luo Yang can strut in front of us." The level 42 Elementalist said excitedly.

Luo Yang was their classmate. Although they had entered God's Domain in the same batch, Luo Yang had joined a level 50+ team. This team was leveling him up, and the speed at which he was leveling in the neutral maps was extremely fast. He was already level 47 and often flaunted how good the neutral maps were, making them extremely envious.

They could only slowly level up in the Stoneclaw Mountains by farming Magic Crystals.

For a team, the most important thing was the MT (Main Tank). As long as the MT was strong enough, they could go to higher-level maps to level up. So after equipping the Fury Set, their team could also venture into the level 55 neutral maps.

"Don't worry, we're lucky today. Let's take advantage of our luck, replenish our magic scrolls, and then grind another wave. After we get the Fury Set, we'll go to the neutral maps." The level 44 Shield Warrior said with anticipation.

The group then found a place to sit in the hall and opened the auction house's system interface to browse.

"Damn! Why are there so many magic scrolls in the Zero Wing Auction House all of a sudden?" The level 44 Shield Warrior was stunned for a moment.

They usually came to the Zero Wing Auction House to buy Tier 1 magic scrolls, but the quantity was not only scarce but also the types were very limited. Not to mention high-level magic scrolls. After all, mainstream players would not stay in maps below level 50, so naturally, they would not bring the high-level magic scrolls they obtained to the Zero Wing Auction House.

Even though Zero Wing City had many players, traveling between Star-Moon City and Zero Wing City was very convenient. To sell for a better price, they would generally sell their magic scrolls at the Star-Moon City Auction House or set up stalls for sale in Zero Wing City. Very few would sell them in the Zero Wing Auction House in Shi Lin Town, which resulted in a lack of goods in the Shi Lin Town Auction House.

But now, not to mention Tier 1 magic scrolls, even the super rare Tier 3 magic scrolls were available for sale. All kinds of Tier 1 magic scrolls were fully stocked...

"Am I dreaming? Someone is selling level 45 Dark-Gold equipment in the Zero Wing Auction House!" The level 42 Elementalist exclaimed in shock.

The Zero Wing Auction House was, after all, just a guild auction house. Not many players were willing to sell items in a guild auction house. It was difficult to find low-level, high-quality equipment, and the major guilds wouldn't sell high-quality, low-level equipment to outsiders. They would keep it in the guild warehouse for new guild members to exchange. This resulted in very few high-quality, low-level weapons and equipment appearing, even in the NPC auction houses. Whether you could find them depended on luck.

And the places where they usually leveled up were very far from the NPC cities, making it very inconvenient to travel back and forth. So they would only return to an NPC city once in a long while, and the chance of encountering such opportunities wasn't very high.

But now, the Zero Wing Auction House had them for sale. How could he not be surprised?

At this time, it wasn't just them who felt incredible. The players who came to the Zero Wing Auction House were all surprised. The variety of goods in the Zero Wing Auction House was even better than the ordinary NPC city auction houses, with everything they could want.

"With such a complete selection of items, we don't have to go back to Star-Moon City anymore. We can level up in Shi Lin Town all the way to level 50!" The level 44 Shield Warrior said ecstatically. "The leveling speed will definitely be faster than that kid Luo Yang!"

Although the neutral maps gave more experience, traveling back and forth took a lot of time. And they also spent a lot of time going to Star-Moon City to replenish their supplies. If everything they needed was available in Shi Lin Town, the actual leveling speed would definitely not be slower than in the neutral maps.

"Qi-ge, look quickly, there's a level 45 top-grade Dark-Gold shield here. If you equip it at level 45, plus the complete Fury Set, you'll be able to tank that level 50 High Lord!" The level 42 Elementalist shouted quickly.

"It's indeed top-grade! The defense increases by 20% just by equipping it. We can keep using it even when we reach level 50." The level 44 Shield Warrior's breathing became rapid as he looked at the shield.

As the Zero Wing Auction House caused a sensation, the news quickly spread. Players below level 50 who had originally planned to leave Shi Lin Town canceled their plans and decided to stay in Shi Lin Town until they reached level 50 before changing locations to level up.

As for players above level 30 and below level 50 throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom, after receiving the news, they flocked to Shi Lin Town like bees to honey. In an instant, the entire declining Shi Lin Town became crowded, and the players gathered at the Zero Wing Auction House were packed like sardines.

In just half an hour, Shi Feng earned more than 100 gold coins in pure profit. As the number of players increased, the profits also increased.

The auction house in White River City also benefited greatly. Some players who were selling items in the White River City auction house suddenly found that their items were being bought quickly. They all transferred the items they wanted to sell to the White River City auction house.

In an instant, the White River City auction house also became lively. This surprised the major forces in the Star-Moon Kingdom. They didn't understand what the Zero Wing Guild had done to make the White River City auction house so lively, even surpassing the Star-Moon City auction house, which had the support of Starlink.

Seeing all of this happen, the members of the Zero Wing Guild were filled with hope. After all, the prosperity of the White River City auction house represented Zero Wing's income.

Youlan, who was in charge of Zero Wing's finances, was stunned. Just a moment ago, the White River City auction house was half-dead, but now it was extremely popular, with everyone rushing to sell items. The income had more than doubled.

At this rate, the guild could operate normally just based on the income from the White River City auction house and Zero Wing City, without having to worry about expenses.

Although Youlan thought so, Shi Feng believed that this was just the beginning.

"Guild Leader, I've already negotiated the prices with the various forces in the Dark Night Empire. We're just waiting to sign the contract." Aqua Rose said with some worry, "There are a total of forty-five central or potential shops, distributed in the ten major cities of the Dark Night Empire. They cost a total of 1,060,000 gold. We probably can't afford it. Even if we pay in installments over two months, we still can't afford it now. And these forces require us to pay it off within a month..."

"1,060,000 gold? Sign it with them!" Shi Feng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Buying forty-five central and potential shops in the ten major cities for 1,060,000 gold, averaging over 20,000 gold per shop, was a price that would have been impossible if Starlink wasn't cleaning up the various forces.

"Sign it?" Aqua Rose looked at Shi Feng, who didn't hesitate, and could only grit her teeth and take the risk. "Then I'll go do it now."

In less than half an hour, the news that the ownership of forty-five shops in the ten major cities of the Dark Night Empire had been transferred to Zero Wing spread throughout the entire Dark Night Empire.
