Chapter 1 Ice Crystal World

Ice Crystal World, Ice Snow Great Rift.

Shi Feng traveled through the Ice Snow Great Rift, encountering guilds and adventure teams everywhere along the way, all constantly delving deeper into the Ice Snow Great Rift, collecting various rare materials in preparation for conquering the Ice Snow Ruins at the deepest point of the rift.

As long as they could conquer the Ice Snow Ruins, Cold Wind City could open up passages to other areas in one fell swoop, connecting with other cities, accessing more maps, and acquiring more resources.

However, for the major guilds, the most important point was that they could obtain city contribution points, thereby quickly gaining control of the city.

Returning to the Shura Guild Residence in Cold Wind City once more, the line in front of the Shura Guild Residence's gate was even longer, with everyone discussing the Adventurer's Alliance.

"This time, the Shura Guild's establishment of the Shura Hall is amazing! I didn't expect it to have such a good training effect."

"Right? I heard that two expert players used the Shura Hall's training room for a PK duel. After only an hour of training, their combat skills improved significantly. Experts who were previously at their level are now losing more often than winning when fighting them."

"That's nothing. A friend of mine joined the Adventurer's Alliance before and then gritted his teeth to rent a training room, wanting to break through the 79% completion bottleneck. I didn't expect that in that training room, in just one hour, his skill completion could reach up to 84%. After returning outside, he could still stabilize at 81%. Those five silver coins were totally worth it."

"I've also heard that the Shura Hall is now packed with players. I really regret not joining the Adventurer's Alliance sooner, otherwise, I could be training and improving in the training room right now."

"Yeah! The players who have joined the Adventurer's Alliance are all using it. If we don't join and train, we'll be left behind sooner or later. So I specially took out all the magic crystals I had saved. I heard that now the Shura Hall uses magic crystals for payment, which costs only four silver coins an hour and allows you to train for two hours every day."

...

The free players lined up in a long queue were all discussing the Adventurer's Alliance, especially the Shura Hall, which had only been established recently, and had already become the center of discussion.

Shi Feng simply smiled and then walked into the Shura Guild Residence.

Although he had only been away for a few hours, he didn't expect the Shura Hall to start having an effect already.

Back at the Shura Guild Residence, Shi Feng immediately summoned Yan Ya and the other members managing the Adventurer's Alliance.

"Guild Leader, do you need something from us?" Yan Ya asked curiously.

The Adventurer's Alliance was now so busy that people were dying. Just processing the applications for Cold Wind City players to join the Adventurer's Alliance required a lot of manpower, not to mention the exchange of materials and points. Because the prices of various rare materials in the market changed every day, their Adventurer's Alliance had to change the prices of both incoming and outgoing materials every day. The amount of work was many times more troublesome than managing the Shura Adventure Team.

"How is the Adventurer's Alliance doing now?" Shi Feng asked.

"Hehe, because the news of the Shura Hall was revealed, our Adventurer's Alliance is now the number one power in Cold Wind City. The number of players who have joined has already exceeded 300,000, and more players are still joining. I believe that before long, the number of players in our Adventurer's Alliance may reach one million," Yan Ya said with a smile.

The power of the Adventurer's Alliance exceeded their imaginations.

One million players was nearly half of Cold Wind City's player population, exceeding the total number of members of all the guilds in Cold Wind City. With such a powerful force, even if they didn't control Cold Wind City, their Adventurer's Alliance would have the final say in Cold Wind City.

"Already that many?" Shi Feng was also slightly surprised.

He originally thought that it would be good if they could recruit more than 100,000 players now, and it would be very impressive if they could attract 400,000 to 500,000 players. He didn't expect that he had underestimated the value of the Adventurer's Alliance's equipment exchange and the Shura Hall.

"Guild Leader, it's not just that. Many free experts in Cold Wind City want to truly join the Shura Adventure Team, hoping that we will start recruiting people as soon as possible. At the same time, the top-ranked adventure teams in Cold Wind City are also watching, hoping that our Adventurer's Alliance will give these large adventurers some power, so that they will also directly join and fully assist the development of the Adventurer's Alliance." Yan Ya then took out several cooperation proposals sent by the top-ranked adventure teams in Cold Wind City.

For large adventure teams, their own strength was very strong, and they also cultivated powerful lifestyle players, so they were not very interested in joining a loose organization like the Adventurer's Alliance.

As for the Level 50 Fine-Gold ranked equipment or the Magic Light Set that the Adventurer's Alliance could exchange, they could directly let a few of their members join to exchange for it, and they didn't need to fully join.

However, now that the Shura Hall had appeared, the major adventure teams in Cold Wind City were a little restless. Equipment exchange could be done by their subordinates, but the Shura Hall's training had to be done by themselves to be effective. This was not something that could be replaced by someone else.

But these large adventure teams were unwilling to be managed directly by the Shura Adventure Team like those small adventure teams, so they wanted to obtain some power in the Adventurer's Alliance.

"The effect is already this good?" Shi Feng looked at the cooperation proposals in his hand and said with a faint smile, "Alright, even if they don't say it, I originally planned to divide the Adventurer's Alliance into levels. Since they said it, we might as well reclassify the Adventurer's Alliance."

The Adventurer's Alliance was like a huge collection of adventure teams and free players. Although it was very free and had no restrictions, and you could leave whenever you wanted, it also provided some necessary guarantees like a guild. However, because of the large number of people, managing it was also very troublesome, no easier than managing a large guild, so it would be divided into certain levels.

After all, some people contributed more to the Adventurer's Alliance, while others contributed less. It was impossible to treat everyone the same, otherwise, who would be willing to contribute to the Adventurer's Alliance?

Then, Shi Feng divided the Adventurer's Alliance into four levels, each enjoying different powers and treatments in the Adventurer's Alliance. These four levels were Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Epic.

These four levels were completely determined by the contribution and strength of the players and adventure teams to the Adventurer's Alliance. Among them, the Bronze level could enjoy the power to exchange items at a 10% discount in the Adventurer's Alliance, and could also exchange for some advanced items that ordinary members could not exchange. The Silver level enjoyed the power to exchange items at a 20% discount, and also had all the powers of the Bronze level.

The Gold level was also 20%, but the Adventurer's Alliance would allow the Gold-level adventure team to manage a branch of the Adventurer's Alliance. If a player reached the Gold level, they could enjoy fixed resources and credits provided by the Adventurer's Alliance every month. Their treatment was not inferior to the management of those large guilds, and there were no restrictions.

The Epic level was slightly different. The number of adventure teams that could become Epic-level was only twelve. Each time, it was determined according to the ranking of the Gold level, which meant that after reaching the Gold level, the top twelve adventure teams in terms of contribution would become the Epic-level adventure teams of the Adventurer's Alliance and could manage several branches of the Adventurer's Alliance according to their abilities.

There was no limit to the number of Epic-level players. As long as their contribution value to the Adventurer's Alliance was sufficient and they reached a certain level of strength, they could obtain priority resource supply from the Adventurer's Alliance, and their treatment was no lower than that of the vice-chairman of those large guilds.

"Guild Leader, if the major adventure teams and free players know about this news, they will probably go crazy, but if we do this, I am afraid that we will not only need resources, but also a lot of financial support," Yan Ya said. Although she thought the plan was very good, they would also need to spend a lot of money to support adventure teams and players above the Gold level.

"I will solve the financial aspect." Shi Feng waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem, "Next, you just need to notify everyone of this news and make sure that every player in Cold Wind City knows about it."

What he had to do now was to develop rapidly in the Ice Crystal World and occupy and stabilize the Ice Crystal World. If it was too late, the major guilds of the Black Dragon Empire would enter the Ice Crystal World to compete, which would be even more troublesome.

"No problem, I will do it now." Yan Ya then began to sort out the new regulations Shi Feng said and directly published them on the official forum of Cold Wind City.
