Chapter 1 The Beginning

Star-Moon Kingdom, Star-Moon City.

Team after team of players emerged from the Teleportation Hall, all of them experts of at least Level 65. Their equipment was generally Mithril rank or above for Level 60. After teleporting to Star-Moon City, they quickly made their way to the Kingdom Teleportation Magic Array on the other side, soon disappearing from sight. One team after another.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that these player teams were actually from various adventurer teams, including many well-known ones.

The spectacular scene left the players in the Star-Moon City Teleportation Hall dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening, or why so many adventurer teams were coming to the Star-Moon Kingdom from other kingdoms and empires.

While the players in Star-Moon City were filled with curiosity, a man at Level 67 sat quietly watching everything from the top-floor VIP room of a high-end restaurant in the Teleportation Hall, his eyes filled with envy and emotion.

If the players of Star-Moon City saw this man, they would probably be shocked.

This man was none other than Star River Past, the president of the Star River Alliance, a guild as powerful as a king in Star-Moon City.

"With Zero Wing's momentum now, it will be impossible for the various Super Guilds to economically suppress Zero Wing in the Star-Moon Kingdom in the future," Star River Past muttered enviously, gazing at the teams being teleported away from his seat in the Teleportation Hall restaurant.

The news of Shi Feng's victory over the joint forces of the Super Guilds had not yet reached the Star-Moon Kingdom, but as a first-rate guild affiliated with Tianji Pavilion, Star River Alliance had already received the news the moment the Super Guilds' forces retreated.

The result was completely beyond his expectations.

He never thought Zero Wing could hold on!

Zero Wing's defense of Stone Forest City meant they had secured a diamond mine. The guild's funding problems would no longer be an issue. It would definitely be able to easily support the development of Zero Wing's current scale. This meant that Zero Wing's only weakness in the Star-Moon Kingdom was gone. It would be exceedingly difficult and unrewarding for the Super Guilds to take action against Zero Wing again. Few Super Guilds would likely do so.

This was something their first-rate guilds had always pursued, but now a new guild established in God's Domain had achieved it.

Moreover, no one would have imagined that Starlink would try to block Zero Wing's path, only for Zero Wing to strike back immediately, and with such force, completely destroying the fortress of the Ancient Undead Kingdom…

"Guild Leader, even so, Zero Wing will face even more problems. Starlink could afford to ignore Zero Wing before, but now that Stone Forest City is stuck there, it's a mortal enemy for Starlink. Furthermore, Zero Wing has provoked too many Super Guilds this time. I'm afraid they won't have an easy time in the future," Violet Pupil said slowly from the side.

Star River Past didn't refute this.

In his opinion, Zero Wing's counterattack on Starlink's fortress was excellent. After all, they had already torn their faces, so there was no point in worrying about adding new grudges to old ones. However, Zero Wing's final massacre of the Super Guilds' armies was definitely a major blunder.

Perhaps the Super Guilds were helpless against Stone Forest City and Zero Wing now, but the God-ranked Regional Dungeons were not limited to the Death Forest. There were many more vast areas that required very strong experts to conquer.

Moreover, the number and quality of experts in the Super Guilds were beyond Zero Wing's imagination. When Zero Wing's members left the Death Forest, they would suffer greatly.

While the various forces of the Star-Moon Kingdom were discussing this, the adventurer teams gathered at the entrance of Zero Wing's Residence were so numerous that they made it impossible to pass through normally.

Aqua Rose, who was in charge of recruitment, was stunned by this.

She had seen experts before, but it was definitely the first time so many experts had come to join Zero Wing.

She estimated that there were over ten thousand people…

Moreover, among these experts were Half-step Refinement Realm and even Refinement Realm experts, something that was absolutely unimaginable before.

A Half-step Refinement Realm expert would at least be a leader-level figure in the core team of a first-rate guild. A Refinement Realm expert was even more valuable, definitely a core member of a first-rate guild, a truly great expert.

She was only at the Refinement Realm herself.

But now these people were coming to join Zero Wing, starting as elite members at most…

"Guild Leader, what kind of magic did you cast?" Aqua Rose excitedly contacted Shi Feng and said, "Over three hundred well-known adventurer teams have come to our guild alone, and over twenty top-tier adventurer teams. A rough estimate shows that over two hundred Half-step Refinement Realm experts want to join, and over fifteen Refinement Realm experts…"

The total number of Refinement Realm experts in Zero Wing was less than fifteen. Zero Wing's number of Refinement Realm experts was already impressive among the first-rate guilds, but if these experts joined, the Refinement Realm battle power would double.

Ordinary first-rate guilds would no longer be able to compare to Zero Wing. Perhaps only a very few top-tier, long-established first-rate guilds could approach them.

"Over two hundred Half-step Refinement Realm and fifteen or more Refinement Realm experts? It seems the effect of this battle is quite good." Shi Feng smiled faintly, not surprised by this.

After all, the significance of this battle was extraordinary. It wasn't just that he had defeated the joint forces of the Super Guilds, but that Stone Forest City had been defended.

As long as Stone Forest City continued to provide massive amounts of gold coins and resources, it would be troublesome for Super Guilds to deal with such a force. Moreover, money and resources were the foundation for becoming a Super Guild.

Now that Zero Wing had such a foundation, the possibility of becoming a Super Guild in God's Domain in the future was extremely high. Furthermore, it had demonstrated the capital to contend with Super Guilds, so naturally many experts would want to join. After all, it was a chance to gain merit from the very beginning. Zero Wing was short of people in all aspects, and the possibility of rising to the top of Zero Wing in the future was very high, so these Half-step Refinement Realm and Refinement Realm experts were naturally vying to join.

"In addition, some top-tier adventurer teams are willing to join Zero Wing, to fight against our enemies in the Abyssal Passage together in the future," Aqua Rose said hesitantly. "But they want the adventurer residence in Stone Forest City."

Top-tier adventurer teams had many experts, even Refinement Realm experts sitting in charge. Some top-tier adventurer teams could make even Super Guilds wary.

This time, Zero Wing had provoked many Super Guilds, which meant that it was destined to be full of disasters in the Abyssal Passage in the future. It would be difficult for Zero Wing to gain a foothold in other places in the Abyssal Passage by itself, after all, the Death Forest of the Abyssal Passage was only a very small part.

"It's impossible for them to directly want the adventurer residence. Of course, if they are willing to buy it, it's not impossible. 50,000 gold or magic crystals of equal value will do," Shi Feng shook his head and said.

The adventurer residence was equivalent to a temporary residence for the guild, allowing members of the adventurer team to quickly enter and exit Stone Forest City at will. However, the adventurer residence could not be produced indefinitely, but had a limited number.

Because the adventurer residence was a unique building for a guild town that had reached the guild city level, the primary city only had ten places in total. Using one meant one less, unless the guild city was promoted, this number would increase.

"50,000 gold?" Aqua Rose couldn't help but be shocked. "This price…"

50,000 gold could buy a very good piece of land in the imperial capital of an empire. Probably no adventurer team would agree to buy an adventurer residence in a guild city for that price.

"That's right, 50,000 gold. If they don't want to buy it, we won't force them," Shi Feng said very confidently.

"I understand, I'll contact them later." Aqua Rose nodded in agreement when she saw that Shi Feng was determined. As for the problem of finding helpers in the wild, she could only slowly find an opportunity.

After contacting Aqua Rose, Shi Feng went directly to the City Lord's Mansion in Stone Forest City to officially open Stone Forest City.
