Chapter 1 Anxious Relief

As Shi Feng received the golden glowing token, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, thanks to the rare materials sent from the Ice Crystal World, and the increasingly popular Zero Wing City, otherwise the Silverwing Town, with its drastically reduced population and income, wouldn't have been able to scrape together 60,000 gold.

But now, it was all right.

With the high-level administrator status of the Secret Stone Fortress in hand, the Zero Wing Guild could officially enter the Secret Stone Fortress. Although this would attract envy and further actions from the major super forces, as long as his next plan succeeded and he demonstrated Zero Wing Guild's sufficient strength in the Orc Empire, these super forces, after weighing the gains and losses, shouldn't go berserk and launch a full-scale attack on the Zero Wing Guild.

Subsequently, Shi Feng headed towards the office hall of the City Hall.

At this time, there were thousands of players sitting in the office hall, all at least level 55 or higher, wearing level 50 Secret-Silver equipment, and the more powerful ones even had several pieces of level 50 Fine-Gold equipment.

And these people had one thing in common, that was that they were all guild members, sitting there in small teams waiting for the front desk NPC to handle the formalities.

"It's so slow! I hope the captain can get a good mission this time. That mission we took last time was a real pit, requiring our team to collect five hundred Orc weapons, and in the end, we only got three guild contribution points and no rewards."

"What's that? Our mission was even more of a pit! We had to steal three medium-sized rapid-firing heavy crossbows from the Orc Fortress. That Orc Fortress is full of Orcs at the Elite level and above, with quite a few Great Lord Orcs at level 60 or higher. We were wiped out twice along the way. If it weren't for the Intermediate Resurrection spell of our team's healer, which can reduce the death penalty, we would have dropped two levels by now."

……

The various guild teams in the hall were complaining about the contribution missions given by the Secret Stone Fortress. These contribution missions were not only extremely difficult, but the rewards were also not very good. However, they had no choice but to do them, otherwise the guild simply wouldn't be able to enter the Secret Stone Fortress.

Just as the teams were chatting, Shi Feng, wearing a black cloak, came to the exchange counter not far from the mission counter, quickly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Who the hell is that guy? Could he be exchanging contribution points for items?"

"That's impossible, right? Just to open this exchange counter, you need to have 200 personal contribution points and become an Honorary Warrior of the Secret Stone Fortress. We get only 5 to 10 personal contribution points for doing a high-level mission, and each mission takes at least five hours to complete. Even if he doesn't sleep and the missions are non-stop and without queuing, it's impossible for him to reach 200 points by now."

"He's probably asking about exchange issues."

……

The Secret Stone Fortress had only been open for four days, and exchanging items was simply an unattainable dream.

But just as everyone was thinking this, the always indifferent front desk beauty NPC suddenly became respectful when she saw Shi Feng, revealing a smile.

"Respected Guardian, is there anything I can do for you?" the NPC beauty asked respectfully.

"I want to apply for the guild to enter," Shi Feng nodded.

"Okay, please fill out this form here, and then pay a deposit of 500 gold, and you can officially become a guild recognized by the Secret Stone Fortress," the NPC beauty said upon hearing this, then took out a form and explained in detail.

"Okay, here's 500 gold," Shi Feng directly took out 500 gold and started filling out the form.

This action immediately silenced the entire office hall, and everyone stared at Shi Feng in the black cloak with their mouths wide open.

"Who is he? Why is the NPC so respectful to him?"

"Is that person applying for the guild to enter?"

"How is that possible! Didn't they say you need two hundred personal contribution points to open the exchange? How did he manage to apply for the guild to enter?"

……

Everyone from the major guilds present didn't react for a moment, until Shi Feng finished filling out the form, and the NPC beauty confirmed that the Zero Wing Guild had become a recognized guild of the Secret Stone Fortress.

A system notification suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Orc Empire Region System Announcement: Congratulations to the Zero Wing Guild for becoming the first guild to enter the Secret Stone Fortress, rewarding 500 guild contribution points to the Secret Stone Fortress and obtaining the right to rent a large guild residence in the Secret Stone Fortress.

The system prompt rang three times in a row before the members of the major guilds present reacted, this was real.

"Zero Wing Guild?!"

"Damn it! How could the Zero Wing Guild have obtained the right to enter the guild so quickly?"

"There must be a secret! I must report it to the guild executives immediately!"

At this time, all the major guilds present were green with envy.

The Secret Stone Fortress had long become the top priority of their major guilds. They had invested too much manpower and resources in order to win the right for the guild to enter the Secret Stone Fortress, but they had not made any progress so far. However, the Zero Wing Guild directly obtained the right for the guild to enter and also obtained a large guild residence. This was a huge help for the guild to compete for resources in the Orc Empire.

Soon, this news spread to the ears of the major super forces.

"It's just a newly rising guild. Now it has not only built an airport, but also obtained the right to enter the Secret Stone Fortress. Not bad. If our guild could get these, we could basically take half of the rich resources of the Orc Empire. Tell the Zero Wing Guild that our Return of the Kings can invest in Zero Wing and make Zero Wing an affiliated guild of our Return of the Kings."

"Good! Very good! The development speed of this Zero Wing Guild is really amazing. No wonder the Blackwater Guild has always wanted to annex them, and even sent that woman over. Immediately have someone inform Zero Wing, saying that our Scarlet Emperor can help them deal with Blackwater together and defend the existing resources, but they must become an affiliated guild of our Scarlet Emperor."

……

One by one, the super forces acted after receiving this news.

They didn't care much about the Zero Wing Guild before, after all, they weren't on the same level. They didn't care about a mere kingdom region. They had more important things to do, and they simply didn't have so much free time to waste a lot of time and manpower here, because it wasn't worth it.

But now the situation is different. The Orc Empire is a place for major super forces to compete, and now it concerns the future of the entire Orc Empire. Their attitude is not comparable to before.

It is not impossible for them to join forces and destroy their Zero Wing if they really get serious. After all, they can't let others get what they can't get, let alone Zero Wing wants to monopolize it…

Almost at the same time, Aqua Rose, who was organizing manpower in the Star-Moon Kingdom, received invitations or meetings from major super forces. The number had reached as many as seven, which made Aqua Rose's scalp tingle.

Just dealing with the existing Blackwater Guild, which has a relatively weak foundation, in the Orc Empire has already made them overwhelmed. If they offend these super forces, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Guild Leader, more and more super forces are sending people to find me. Should I meet them?" Aqua Rose didn't know what to do for a while, and then contacted Shi Feng.

Even without saying it, they knew what these super forces wanted to do in this meeting. It didn't matter if they offended them in the Star-Moon Kingdom before. After all, they had local advantages. The major super guilds only cared a little, and they had more important things to do. They simply didn't have so much free time to waste a lot of time and manpower here, because it wasn't worth it.

But now the situation is different. The Orc Empire is a place for major super forces to compete, and now it concerns the future of the entire Orc Empire. Their attitude is not comparable to before.

It is not impossible for them to join forces and destroy their Zero Wing if they really get serious. After all, they can't let others get what they can't get, let alone Zero Wing wants to monopolize it…
