Chapter 1 The Return

Shi Feng's return immediately attracted the attention of all parties in White River City.

When they learned that Shi Feng’s name was blood-red, they knew that the Dark Star Guild’s encirclement had failed.

Dark Star sent out as many as ten thousand people, but in the end, they still failed to wipe out the main force of Zero Wing, which greatly boosted Zero Wing's reputation. Moreover, the Dark Star Guild's president, Wei Wo Dukuang, was killed, which was a major blow to Dark Star.

Excluding the already out-of-the-running Xiong Ba Tianxia, Dark Star's reputation was already at the bottom of the six major guilds in White River City. Many players who originally wanted to join Dark Star had now changed their minds and turned to Zero Wing.

With this ebb and flow, Zero Wing surpassing Dark Star was only a matter of time.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic players, Shi Feng immediately put on a black cloak to cover his face and name and hurried to the Adventurer's Association in White River City.

On the way, Shi Feng contacted Shui Se Qiangwei and asked her to bring more than sixty core members to wait at the Adventurer's Association.

Twenty minutes later, Shui Se Qiangwei appeared at the entrance of the Adventurer's Association with more than sixty people.

The sixty-plus people brought by Shui Se Qiangwei were all equipped with Mysterious-Iron ranked equipment or better, and many of them even had Mithril ranked equipment. Standing at the entrance was an unusually dazzling sight, attracting the admiring gazes of many players, who were filled with envy.

Although Dark Star's sneak attack and the battle with Xiong Ba Tianxia had caused Zero Wing Guild a considerable loss, fortunately, Zero Wing had no shortage of Bronze and Mysterious-Iron ranked equipment. It was just that the levels needed a lot of time to catch up.

And this group of people Shui Se Qiangwei called had been busy running dungeons before and had not had time to participate in the guild war.

"Sister Shui Se, what do you think the guild leader called us here to do?" a female priest named Xue Yan asked curiously.

"That goes without saying, it must be to deal with Dark Star. Dark Star dared to cause trouble for us before, and now that the guild leader has summoned us, he must want to get back at them," a berserker laughed.

"That's great. We couldn't go before because the dungeon was too far away. Now that's settled, I'm going to teach those bad guys in Dark Star a lesson," Xue Yan waved her small fist and said with a grin.

Hearing this, Shui Se Qiangwei couldn't help but laugh, "Xue Yan, you're too belligerent. Although the guild leader didn't say what we're going to do, I think it should be something else. Otherwise, just calling you guys to fight Dark Star wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth. Stop guessing, you'll find out soon enough."

Hearing that it was something else, Xue Yan's interest faded, and the others also seemed a little disappointed.

Just as Shui Se Qiangwei and the others were waiting at the entrance, Shi Feng walked over.

"Guild leader, why are you still wearing a cloak? Could it be that this operation can't be exposed? Should we leave here first and then sneak back?" Shui Se Qiangwei looked at Shi Feng, who was covering his face and acting furtively, as if he were a wanted criminal in White River City, afraid of being discovered, and couldn't help but ask.

"I wouldn't have needed to, but being too famous isn't a good thing. If I took off my cloak, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the Adventurer's Association," Shi Feng said with a wry smile, "Enough said, add me to the party, let's get down to business."

Hearing Shi Feng's explanation, Shui Se Qiangwei could already imagine the hilarious scene, and a sly arc couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth. The dignified guild leader of Zero Wing wasn't afraid of thousands of troops, but he was afraid of the enthusiasm of his fans.

After Shui Se Qiangwei added Shi Feng to the party, she immediately transferred the position of party leader to Shi Feng.

After Shi Feng took the position of party leader, he looked at everyone's levels and felt very proud.

Everyone was uniformly above level 19, and a small half of them were already at level 20. This was unimaginable in other guilds, but it was also normal because the major guilds were all vying for the first clear of the three major dungeons and naturally wouldn't be in a hurry to level up.

In fact, this approach was putting the cart before the horse. Getting the first clear of the three major dungeons was certainly important, but God's Domain wasn't a small game. Being too concerned about the gains and losses in the early stages could easily lead to missing other opportunities.

Just like advancing to a Tier 1 official class, the level 20 dungeon was specially prepared for Tier 1 classes. If it weren't for Huo Wu and Hei Zi having very good equipment, they wouldn't have been able to pass the level 20 dungeon so easily.

Not to mention the fifty-man dungeon and the hundred-man dungeon.

Advancing to a Tier 1 class earlier was the key to getting the first clear of the hundred-man dungeon.

Getting the first clear of the level 10 three major dungeons increased fame, but taking down the level 20 hundred-man dungeon not only increased fame but also brought great opportunities.

"Let's go to the second floor," Shi Feng said in the party chat.

The second-floor hall of the Adventurer's Association was usually deserted.

This was because it didn't receive individual guild players but was specifically for guild teams.

"Sister Shui Se, what do you think the guild leader is here to do?" Xue Yan asked curiously.

"I don't know, but this place is where guilds accept large-scale missions. I wonder what kind of big mission the guild leader is going to accept." Shui Se Qiangwei shook her head. She couldn't see through their guild leader Shi Feng, but it was precisely because of this that she joined Zero Wing.

At this time, Shi Feng was sitting in front of the VIP counter, and the beautiful receptionist asked with a smile, "Lord Viscount, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to accept a guild subjugation mission," Shi Feng said directly.

"Alright, but the Zero Wing Guild is only a three-star guild now. There are only four places where you can carry out subjugation. I don't know which one Lord Viscount wants to choose?"

The counter receptionist listed four locations. These four locations were all remote small towns, which could be described as being in the middle of nowhere. However, these four places were all occupied by four dark forces. If you wanted to take them down, you would need two or three thousand Tier 1 players above level 30. Don't even think about it.

Of course, this was for a normal occupation. If it was a subjugation mission, the difficulty would be greatly reduced, but even so, it would be very difficult. With just a hundred or so level 20 players, it was basically suicide.

"Creek Town it is." Shi Feng was very familiar with the subjugation missions in White River City and chose Creek Town, which was occupied by the Bloodhand Society, without saying a word.

The Bloodhand Society was a very small force among the many dark forces in White River City, completely at the bottom. If he chose the other three places, they would all be controlled by a mid-to-lower-level dark force. Going there would be equivalent to suicide, with no chance at all.

"Alright, a one-star subjugation mission requires a deposit of 30 gold coins. If the mission is not completed within five days, the deposit will not be refunded."

Xue Yan, who was behind Shi Feng, opened her mouth wide when she heard that a deposit of 30 gold coins was required.

What kind of mission was this that even required a deposit, and 30 gold coins at that.

"Sister Shui Se, what exactly is that mission that requires 30 gold coins? Even if you sell me, I wouldn't be able to come up with that much money," Xue Yan said in shock.

Xue Yan's words made everyone sweat.

Shi Feng smiled faintly and readily paid 30 gold coins. Then, he said in the party chat, "This mission is a guild subjugation mission. You can't accept it unless you become a great noble in White River City. 30 gold coins is already very cheap."

Cheap?

Everyone broke out in sweat. 30 gold coins was almost all the liquid funds of a third-rate guild. If the mission wasn't completed, then those 30 gold coins would be gone.
