Chapter 1 Going to Star-Moon Trading Firm

Going to Star-Moon Trading Firm caused Shi Feng to feel slightly surprised.

After all, this was the second step of an Epic quest, yet instead of having him complete some dangerous task, it was as simple as going to find someone. The difficulty was unbelievably low.

"Could it be that money can make a millstone run, and spending money can lower the difficulty?" Shi Feng couldn't help but think.

Actually, thinking about it, it wasn't impossible.

Right now, a first-rate guild's daily liquid funds might be six or seven gold coins at best. Even with the full support of the first-rate guild Illusory World Shrine, it would be impossible for Thousand Illusions, Myriad Destructions to come up with fifty gold coins and spend it like that. After all, fifty gold coins now was enough to give a large guild a significant boost.

If Shi Feng hadn't been selling sturdy stones, earning over a hundred gold coins a day, he would never have chosen the fifty gold coins for information.

According to the main system's principle of equivalence, the possibility of lowering the difficulty was very high.

Shi Feng didn't lack gold coins now, because he earned over a hundred gold coins a day, almost matching the total liquid funds of all the well-known guilds in White River City. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as being as wealthy as a city.

If spending money could lower the difficulty, that was definitely what Shi Feng wanted most.

Had he known this earlier, he would have waited a few more days and accumulated five or six hundred gold coins. Perhaps he could have immediately gone to the Dark Cave to complete the quest, saving a lot of trouble and time.

"Thank you, respected Xia Lian." Shi Feng took the contract and said respectfully.

"I have high hopes for you. Don't make me wait too long, because the longer the time, the stronger the Great Demon's power will become. By then, I might not even be its match, and you can only become a walking corpse for the rest of your life," Xia Lian warned solemnly.

System: Accepted the second part of the Epic quest 'Darkness Descends', the 'Gospel Plan'. The quest objective is to find Guild Master Henry of the Star-Moon Trading Firm to understand what happened. Reward: Unknown.

Although Shi Feng didn't know the specific details of the quest, he felt it wasn't as simple as he imagined, because he was only finding Henry to understand what happened, not going directly to the Dark Cave.

The Star-Moon Trading Firm was very famous throughout White River City.

Because the Star-Moon Trading Firm's business scope was not only in White River City, but also in the seven surrounding cities. It was a truly large trading firm.

With such a wide business scope, it naturally knew a lot of information.

No wonder Xia Lian wanted him to find Guild Master Henry.

Afterward, Shi Feng bid farewell to Xia Lian. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that the mere twenty or so gold coins in his pocket would all end up in Xia Lian's pocket.

After leaving the library, Shi Feng hailed a carriage on the street and headed to the Star-Moon Trading Firm.

Galloping along the wide street, he could see players who had just entered the city everywhere. With the passage of time, White River City had gained some popularity. Perhaps in a few more days, the entire streets of White River City would be crowded with people.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the Star-Moon Trading Firm's store.

The Star-Moon Trading Firm's store was very luxurious, with six floors. It was definitely one of the tallest buildings here, conspicuously so, and the location was also very good, right in the center of the trade area, next to White River City's bank, and not far from the White River City Auction House.

In such a prime location where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, there were only eight such shops on this street, three of which had the largest area, one being comparable to two or three shops. Moreover, the Star-Moon Trading Firm had such prime locations in the other seven cities, which showed how strong the Star-Moon Trading Firm's foundation was.

In the early stages of God's Domain, countless first-rate guilds wanted to establish a relationship with the Star-Moon Trading Firm and do business, but they couldn't even see Guild Master Henry's shadow. Now he could get in touch with Guild Master Henry through a quest, which was already many steps ahead of other first-rate guilds.

It had to be said that Epic quests were awesome. Although the price for failing this quest was extremely terrifying, equivalent to deleting his account and starting over, the benefits of completing it were unimaginable.

Just like when Shi Feng completed the first part of the Darkness Descends quest, he obtained the Demon Hunter title and the Demon Mask. These two things had helped him immensely during this time.

"I wonder what reward I'll get for completing this part of the quest." Shi Feng felt a little expectant.

At this time, he also understood why Illusory World Shrine would go all out to help Thousand Illusions, Myriad Destructions, because the benefits were too amazing. Even a free player like him had such benefits. What about a guild?

That was why Illusory World Shrine was able to stand out from the crowd in the early stages of the Black Dragon Empire, overpowering other first-rate guilds. Unfortunately, Illusory World Shrine was not doing well in this life, completely ordinary, without any outstanding points, unless Thousand Illusions, Myriad Destructions could encounter another Epic quest, but the probability of that was a bit low.

Shi Feng had played God's Domain for more than ten years, and had only ever taken on one Epic quest, and that was accidentally when he was over level 150. One could imagine how rare Epic quests were.

At this moment, Shi Feng suddenly received a system announcement.

White River City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Serpent Devourer for becoming the first team to clear the Hard Mode Crystal Relics. All players in the team are rewarded with 50,000 experience points and 1 silver coin.

White River City Regional System Announcement: Congratulations to Serpent Devourer for becoming the fastest team to clear the Hard Mode Crystal Relics. All players in the team are rewarded with 50,000 experience points and a first-order random attribute gem.

Undoubtedly, this system announcement once again caused a sensation among the players on the street.

The free players who could come to White River City now had very good skills, and a large part of them were unwilling to join small guilds, and all wanted to join top-tier big guilds.

And how to judge the strength of a guild? It was definitely not enough to just look at its reputation, because every time a new virtual game came out, it represented a reshuffle, and every time there were some unknown guilds that suddenly rose up and became the overlords of this game, while some old guilds disappeared without a trace. Therefore, it was important to look at the team dungeon progress.

This also made system announcements exceptionally important for guilds, because this was an important basis for free players to refer to.

At this time, the players who had previously planned to join the Assassin's Alliance had now changed their minds and wanted to join Serpent Devourer, because Serpent Devourer was not only a first-rate guild, but had also previously cleared a Hell Mode dungeon. Whether it was financial strength, power, or strength, it was much stronger than the Assassin's Alliance. Only an idiot would choose the latter.

This was the difference in foundation...

"As expected of Bai Qingxue, so fast. I just helped the Assassin's Alliance get the first clear of a twenty-man team dungeon, and she got one in the blink of an eye. If she hadn't suddenly stopped playing God's Domain, I'm afraid the Serpent Devourer of the previous life would also have been a super guild," Shi Feng sighed secretly.

If he could bring Bai Qingxue into the guild he was building, that would be great. Add in the Divine Priestess Ziyan Liuyun, the Guardian Knight Tyrant Bear Cola, plus the very skilled Fire Dance, and his rebirth experience, how could the future guild not become a first-rate guild or even a super guild?

Thinking of this, Shi Feng suddenly realized that the team's strength still needed to be improved, because it was not enough to just have a few top-tier experts. He also needed a backbone, preferably digging up some experts who would be very famous and very strong in the future, but were still unknown now.

However, his own guild did not have a deep foundation or fame to do such a thing. Those experts were not stupid, and they probably wouldn't even consider it.

Therefore, Shi Feng's top priority now was to immediately establish a guild with a deep foundation and a promising future, so as to attract those experts who were still unknown now.
