Chapter 1 The Beginning

The post Shi Feng made under the name Black Flame garnered so much attention in just a few minutes that the number of visits and replies broke ten thousand within moments. It was automatically pinned to the top by the official forum, marked with a bright red character for "War."

This character was extremely eye-catching.

The originally demoralized Zero Wing Guild was fired up by Shi Feng's post, each member eager to fight the Dark Star Guild to the death.

Moreover, the video of Dark Star ambushing Zero Wing was too shocking. It made everyone realize that players could be so formidable. The scene of the Starlight's Descent was like the end of the world, instantly wiping out hundreds of people. Even those outside the damage range were blown far away by the blast.

Seeing the power of this skill, everyone understood why Hei Zi's (Blackie's) level was so high.

While others risked their lives to fight monsters, barely killing one, Blackie only needed people to lure hundreds of monsters, and he could kill them all with one move. How could anyone compare to his leveling speed?

Countless players who watched this video dreamed of having such a skill one day.

This was much more helpful than a top-tier piece of equipment.

"Those Dark Star bastards, just wait! I'm going to kill every last one of those roadblocks."

"That's right, Blackie and Sister Wu are waiting for us. How can we be so embarrassing? So what if they sent six thousand clowns? Even if I die ten times, I'll wipe out Dark Star!"

The members of Zero Wing Guild looked at the Dark Star members blocking their way, their fighting spirit soaring, cheering.

As long as Aqua Rose gave the order now, they would swarm forward.

But as the Zero Wing Guild looked towards their Vice Guild Leader, Aqua Rose, Shi Feng's voice appeared in the guild channel.

"Everyone is clear about what happened today. Dark Star has launched a full-scale war against us, wanting to remove us from White River City. Our Zero Wing Guild is just starting out, and the number of guild members in White River City isn't even worth mentioning. But Dark Star wants to start a war with us, thinking we are easy to bully. What do you all say we should do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

…

"That's right! What is there to fear from a battle! Now, we will let the people of Dark Star know that if they want to swallow our Zero Wing, they should be afraid of breaking their Dark Star teeth."

"Since everyone is fighting so hard, I, as the Guild Leader, naturally won't be stingy. Before the battle, I've already sent people to the guild warehouse to get the combat items. Everyone can go to Guild Leader Aqua Rose to collect them. Anyone who participates in the battle today will receive 10 guild points for each person they kill. Killing ten enemies will earn a Mithril-grade equipment reward, killing fifty enemies will earn a Fine-Gold-grade equipment reward, and killing a hundred enemies will earn a guild-exclusive room. Even if you die, the guild will give 10 guild points as compensation."

Shi Feng's words instantly made the guild members' chests rise and fall sharply, their eyes glowing with excitement.

Zero Wing Guild's management system was very complete. To exchange for anything in the guild, you only needed guild points. But earning guild points was not easy. If you used copper coins to exchange for points, according to the price, one guild point cost about thirty copper coins. To exchange for a level 10 Bronze equipment, you needed 30 points, which was 9 silver coins. Now a level 10 Bronze equipment outside only cost seven or eight silver coins. It was not cost-effective to exchange for equipment in the guild. Many people had opinions about this, and a group of people left because of it.

In fact, this was considered by Shi Feng and Aqua Rose. If the guild's equipment was cheaper than outside, then some people would speculate, exchange the guild's equipment and sell it, then return and exchange the money for points. In order to prevent the outflow of guild equipment and items, the price was set higher.

However, with the appearance of the guild residence, and the guild welfare also included exclusive rooms for guild members, everyone no longer had any opinions, but felt it was very reasonable.

Having their own exclusive room was something that other guilds would not dare to imagine. After all, the land in White River City was super expensive, and how many exclusive rooms could be built? There would definitely be very few. These exclusive rooms would definitely be occupied by the guild's higher-ups, and ordinary members would never be able to enjoy them. But Zero Wing Guild opened some up.

Ordinary guild members could rent them, and it only cost two points a day.

Although it was more expensive than staying in an ordinary hotel for a night, the exclusive room had the effect of double experience storage, which was much stronger than a hotel. It was worth spending more copper coins.

Everyone had heard about the benefits of other guilds. There would definitely be compensation and rewards for killing enemies in battle, but compared to the rewards given by Shi Feng, they were far behind.

10 points was 3 silver coins…

There were as many as three thousand people participating in the battle. If each person killed one person, that would be 9000 silver coins, which converted to 90 gold coins. This was a huge sum of money, and there was also the subsidy after the death of guild members. A rough estimate would be hundreds of gold.

One hundred gold converted into credits was more than one million…

This made everyone once again full of confidence in the Zero Wing Guild's financial resources and foundation. With such good benefits, even more powerful financial resources, and most importantly, such a powerful Guild Leader, why wouldn't such a guild be strong?

"This time, even if I die, I will drag ten people down with me."

"Hmph, you are too unambitious. Didn't you hear the Guild Leader say that killing a hundred people will be rewarded with their own exclusive room?"

"You have to be able to do it, right?"

"Didn't you see that Blackie and Sister Wu did it easily?"

"…"

The guild members were even more motivated to kill enemies. Although the guild only rented out the exclusive rooms and did not sell them at a price, the value of a private exclusive room was conceivable. It could not be bought with a mere 1000 points.

Killing a hundred people was slim, but it was possible to do it. Naturally, they would fight for that glimmer of hope.

"Everyone come here to collect Ice Grenades, two for each person. Small team leaders can collect three and an ordinary attack or defense magic scroll. Regiment Commanders and Vice Regiment Commanders can collect five and a Tier 1 magic scroll." After Shi Feng finished speaking, Aqua Rose had everyone come over to collect combat auxiliary items.

In order to let the entire Star-Moon Kingdom know the power of Zero Wing Guild, Shi Feng this time was bleeding heavily, taking out all the combat auxiliary items stored in the guild warehouse in one go.

After everyone received the combat auxiliary items, they were even more confident in taking down the people of Dark Star. Just one Ice Grenade per person was enough to give Dark Star's six thousand people a hard time. With the added control effect, the success rate of defeating these six thousand people increased by at least 30%.

"Guild Leader Aqua, tell us how to fight, and we will all listen to your command."

"That's right, with this war weapon, watch me kill ten people and make a small fortune."

"A hundred people, a hundred people, here I come! I hope the Dark Star bastards don't run away!"

Everyone was full of confidence in defeating Dark Star, and they all laughed and joked.

"Since everyone is ready, follow me." Aqua Rose nodded, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction of Silverleaf Forest.
