Chapter 1827 The Witch's Original Sin

As the Witch of Envy finished speaking, a system notification entered Shi Feng's mind.

System: Congratulations to player for accepting the sub-legendary quest "The Witch's Original Sin." Collect 100,000 Ancient Crystals within thirty natural days. Quest reward: Divine Rune Armor Design.

The notification echoed three times. The Witch of Envy vanished from Shi Feng's sight, as if she had never appeared, leaving Shi Feng alone in front of the gate to the Otherworld.

"Thirty days to collect 100,000 Ancient Crystals?" Shi Feng frowned slightly, lost in thought.

He didn't expect this sub-legendary quest to be so brutal!

Although Ancient Crystals can be obtained in the Witch's Hill, the drop rate of Ancient Crystal Fragments from killing monsters in the Witch's Hill is very low. Only Leader-ranked monsters and above have a chance to drop them. There's no need to even consider the drop rate for monsters below that level.

But even so, the drop rate for Leader-ranked monsters is less than 3%. Not to mention that ten Ancient Crystal Fragments are needed to synthesize one Ancient Crystal, which means collecting one million Ancient Crystal Fragments...

It would be fine if there were no time limit, but the key is that there is a time limit.

With the current number of Zero Wing City guild members being less than 100,000, it's impossible to collect 100,000 Ancient Crystals within thirty days; it's just a pipe dream.

"It seems I can only try to increase the guild's strength." After thinking about it, Shi Feng decided to expand Zero Wing City and absorb more players into the guild.

This quest doesn't specify a failure penalty, which is relatively lucky. This means that even if the quest fails, the penalty won't be too severe. It would be a pity to give up.

Even a standard Epic-rank equipment is incomparable to Dark-Gold rank equipment.

In God's Domain, the Epic-rank standard equipment is very different from the Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold standard equipment. Epic-rank standard equipment is not inferior to other Epic-rank equipment in terms of attributes alone. The only difference is the attached skill effect. The attached skills of standard Epic-rank equipment are far inferior to other normal Epic-rank equipment.

But even so, it is extremely precious to the various forces, especially with the current scarcity of Epic-rank equipment. The design of Epic-rank standard equipment is even more precious.

If it is a true Epic-rank equipment design, first of all, it cannot be mass-produced. Secondly, the crafting difficulty is very high. Even a Intermediate Forging Master only has a small chance of successfully crafting it, but the wasted materials are definitely not something a first-rate guild can afford. Only super forces can grit their teeth and endure it.

And standard equipment is different. It is designed for mass production from the beginning, so the requirements for materials are not high. The most important point is that the crafting difficulty is lower than normal Epic-rank equipment. An Intermediate Forging Master's success rate is enough for a first-rate guild to afford it, let alone the current Zero Wing.

Then, Shi Feng took out the guild's city return scroll, intending to return to Zero Wing City first to start preparations.

At this time, in Zero Wing City, players from all over the Star-Moon Kingdom flocked to Zero Wing City, causing the number of players in Zero Wing City to skyrocket. Every player on the street was in a state of excitement, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Ancient Heart. Many adventure teams had even begun to purchase magic scrolls and potions for field battles, as well as various field supplies, waiting for the Witch's Hill to change so they could rush out to seize the opportunities of the new expansion pack.

For a time, the entire Zero Wing City became very lively.

"Guild Leader, good news! Because of the appearance of the new expansion pack, the number of players in our Zero Wing City has exceeded ten million!" Aqua Rose looked at Shi Feng who had returned, and said excitedly, "Because of this, the Seventh Street Grand Chamber of Commerce in God's Domain has found us and invited us to join the chamber of commerce alliance formed by the Seventh Street Chamber of Commerce."

In God's Domain, in addition to forces like combat guilds, there are also life guilds. Unlike combat guilds, they mainly cultivate life players, focusing on improving the level of life players and making various commodities and props. Some large life guilds have formed chambers of commerce.

And the energy of these chambers of commerce is also an existence not to be underestimated. It's just that they never interfere in the affairs between combat guilds and are not well known by most players, but their influence on God's Domain is not low at all. Even the economy of kingdoms and empires is affected by some chambers of commerce.

Among them, the top chambers of commerce have a wide range of influence, which can involve more than a dozen kingdoms and empires. The wealth of God's Domain they control is even more than some super forces. Like many newly emerging super forces, they obtain funds and resources from these top chambers of commerce.

The Seventh Street is also one of the top chambers of commerce among many chambers of commerce.

It is very difficult to join the alliance formed by these top chambers of commerce. Generally, only super forces are qualified, or large guilds that control abundant resources. Ordinary first-rate guilds are not qualified to join.

"What are their conditions?" Shi Feng couldn't help asking.

He knew very well about the grand chambers of commerce in God's Domain. To join them, in addition to being qualified, a certain amount of payment is required.

"The membership qualifications they proposed to us are to provide shops in the guild's towns. At least five shops and two virtual shops in each town. These seven shops must be scattered in the guild's towns and cannot be concentrated together. In addition, 30% of the special resources in the Otherworld Gate obtained by the guild must be sold to the chamber of commerce at market prices," Aqua Rose said.

"The price is a bit high." Shi Feng shook his head. "Tell them that our Zero Wing can provide up to three shops and one virtual shop in each town. As for the special resources in the Otherworld Gate, we can only sell up to 20%, and it must be 30% higher than the market price, otherwise, forget it!"

If you want to get the resources of the chamber of commerce alliance, it is certain that you have to pay, but the payment is also more or less, depending on whether it is worth it.

Not to mention that Zero Wing now dominates the Star-Moon Kingdom and even has a guild city like Zero Wing City, the special resources in the Otherworld Gate alone are a huge income, and it is difficult to buy the special resources in the Otherworld Gate on the market. And their Zero Wing City is in the Witch's Hill, and no guild can compare to their Zero Wing Guild in obtaining resources in the Otherworld Gate.

Their 30% of the harvest is no joke, let alone selling it to the chamber of commerce at market prices.

"This..." Aqua Rose said with some difficulty.

The opportunity to join the Seventh Street is very rare. After all, the coverage of the Seventh Street is as many as a dozen kingdoms and three empires. If you can join it, you can directly increase the revenue of Candlelight Trading Firm to a large level.

Directly suppressing the conditions proposed by the Seventh Street so much...

But seeing Shi Feng's attitude was very firm, Aqua Rose had no choice but to reply to the Seventh Street with the conditions Shi Feng said.

On the other side, Shi Feng also asked Aqua Rose to start recruiting people in Zero Wing City on a large scale, while he himself returned to the special forging room of Candlelight Trading Firm and carefully took out the Void Domain given by the Witch of Envy from his backpack.

After clicking to learn, he started making the Void Domain.
