Chapter 1 What is He Doing Here?

"What is he doing here?" Shi Feng looked at Lu Xingluo in surprise.

Lu Xingluo was a young master from a wealthy family. Before entering God's Domain, he probably didn't even know which super guilds existed in the virtual gaming world. He had no contact with the major super guilds, let alone knew any of their presidents.

It was hard to imagine how Lu Xingluo would know Li Hen.

Li Hen was the kind of person who rarely showed his face. Even the presidents of those super guilds found it difficult to meet him, let alone Lu Xingluo.

Although Lu Xingluo was the heir to the Xinghang Consortium, he didn't have much power in his hands. Li Hen's super guild was not only a consortium in itself, but it was also fully supported by several large consortia. He was a person who truly wielded power, something Lu Xingluo couldn't compare to.

The two were not on the same level at all. It was like the difference between an adult and a child. Even if the child was dressed in fine clothes and had a strong background, he was still just a child.

Moreover, the Star Ring Guild had been developing around the Dark Night Empire, while the Thirteen Royal Courts were developing in a remote corner of the continent. The two were very far apart, so it could be said that there would be no contact between them.

But Lu Xingluo was sitting here talking with Li Hen, which was really surprising.

At the same time as Shi Feng appeared, the originally calm atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense. Lu Xingluo stared at Shi Feng, his eyes filled with surprise, anger, and curiosity as to why Shi Feng was here.

In his opinion, Shi Feng was just the president of Zero Wing. Even if he was strong, he was just a slightly stronger ant. He and Shi Feng were on completely different levels.

Zero Wing Guild was now relying on Stone Forest City to have the confidence to challenge super forces. The experts in the guild were just a few big cats, and the guild's own strength was not worth mentioning at all.

As soon as Stone Forest City's advantage was over, Zero Wing would be a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump for long.

But now he had appeared at such an occasion.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, please sit down." When Li Hen saw Shi Feng walk in, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and took the initiative to greet him.

"What's going on?" Lu Xingluo looked at Li Hen, who took the initiative to talk to Shi Feng, his heart full of confusion.

Although he was chatting with Li Hen, Li Hen's attitude towards him had always been lukewarm, but his attitude towards Shi Feng was a bit amiable.

"Guild Leader Li Hen, I wonder what you want me to do here?" Shi Feng nodded, looked at Li Hen, and took the initiative to get straight to the point.

"Guild Leader Black Flame is indeed as Yi Yun said, straightforward." Li Hen smiled and pointed to Dragonheart City outside the window, saying, "I wonder what Guild Leader Black Flame thinks of Dragonheart City?"

"A place full of rare items, a trading holy land." Shi Feng thought for a moment and said.

In his previous life, Dragonheart City was one of the top trading cities in God's Domain, a place where every inch of land was worth gold. It could be said that it was one of the main activity areas for sea players after reaching Tier 3, even more prosperous than resource-rich places like Thunder Island.

In particular, Dragonheart City was the only large free NPC city in the Sea of Death.

This free city was not comparable to the NPC cities on land. This was a place where players could become kings, of course, not by conquering it, but by buying it. All the buildings in Dragonheart City, unlike the NPC cities on land, could be bought as long as you could afford it, including auction houses, city lord's mansions, teleportation temples, and so on. You could even build whatever you wanted in the places you bought, and the buildings you built were better than those in advanced cities, including teleportation temples, as long as you could afford to build them.

Moreover, Dragonheart City also had the famous Tower of the World in God's Domain.

Tower of the World!

That was a place that the mainstream forces of God's Domain would be staring at in the future, because compared to the Gate of Another World, it was nothing in comparison. Many ultra-rare materials for making epic items could be obtained from the Tower of the World, and even the main materials for making fragments of legendary items were available.

Because of this, Dragonheart City became the top trading city in God's Domain. At its peak, its trade volume was unmatched even by an empire.

"That's right, this is the trading holy land of the future." Li Hen nodded, not expecting Shi Feng to see it so accurately. He smiled and said, "I wonder if Guild Leader Black Flame is interested in opening a shop here?"

"Opening a shop here?" Shi Feng glanced at Li Hen, feeling very surprised.

He really wanted to do this. The shops in Dragonheart City were not comparable to those in the NPC cities on land. They could trade with the foreign NPCs in Dragonheart City, and there were many foreign races connected to Dragonheart City, far more than Thunder Axe City. In particular, there were materials for making epic items and various ancient design drawings. There were only a handful of places in the entire God's Domain that could compare with Dragonheart City.

So the value of the shops in Dragonheart City was very high.

However, opening a shop in Dragonheart City was not an easy task. Even with Zero Wing's current financial resources, it couldn't be done, because all transactions in Dragonheart City were based on Ancient Gold Coins.

Ancient Gold Coins were not comparable to Gold Coins. Even expert players in Dragonheart City could only earn one or two Ancient Silver Coins a day. Ordinary Tier 2 players could probably only earn dozens of Ancient Bronze Coins. After deducting the necessary expenses, they had almost no coins left, which could be said to be very difficult to earn.

Not to mention that it was very difficult to earn, the exchange of Ancient Gold Coins was also a big problem.

Because Ancient Bronze Coins could not be automatically exchanged into Ancient Silver Coins, and Ancient Silver Coins could not be automatically exchanged into Ancient Gold Coins. The things in Dragonheart Island only accepted fixed currencies. That is to say, places that accepted Ancient Silver Coins would not accept Ancient Bronze Coins, no matter how many there were. The same was true for places that accepted Ancient Gold Coins.

However, places that accepted Ancient Silver Coins could use Ancient Gold Coins to replace them, but that was only the official exchange rate, one Ancient Gold Coin exchanged for one hundred Ancient Silver Coins.

The three currencies, Ancient Bronze Coins, Ancient Silver Coins, and Ancient Gold Coins, were more helpful to players than the last, and more difficult to obtain. The more you accumulated, the more helpful they were to players. It was very difficult to collect them from players.

Because of this, the value of Ancient Gold Coins was extremely high.

Even ten years later in God's Domain, the value of Ancient Gold Coins was still very high, something that Gold Coins could not measure.

But in Dragonheart City, even the cheapest shop was worth 8,000 Ancient Gold Coins, which Zero Wing could not afford right now.

"That's right, opening a shop here!" Li Hen said very certainly, "Of course, there is a price to pay for opening this shop. I need to borrow the power of your Zero Wing to open up a fortress in the Geocentric Mountains under the Tower of the World with us. If we succeed, I will give you 10,000 Ancient Gold Coins to buy a shop here in Dragonheart City."

Shi Feng understood when he heard this.

No wonder Li Hen could offer such a sky-high price. Even the super guilds that had been operating in Dragonheart City could not take out so much as 10,000 Ancient Gold Coins. They would need to accumulate it for a while.

The Geocentric Mountains under the Tower of the World were not only a treasure trove of resources, but the fortresses inside were the main means of earning Ancient Gold Coins. As long as you could get a fortress inside, you would have a large fixed income of Ancient Gold Coins. In the early stages, you might only have a net income of about two or three thousand Ancient Gold Coins per day, but as the fortress improved and more and more foreign races came, this income would increase.

However, the fortresses in the Geocentric Mountains were not so easy to take down. Not to mention that the countless monsters inside were all level 100 monsters, the level 100 mythical monsters guarding the fortresses alone could wipe out any super force right now.

Just as Shi Feng was about to say something, Lu Xingluo, who was next to Li Hen, frowned slightly.

"Guild Leader Li Hen, you think too highly of this Zero Wing Guild. Our two guilds are already sure to take down the fortress this time. It's just letting their Zero Wing help a little. Giving them 10,000 Ancient Gold Coins is too much," Lu Xingluo said.
