Chapter 1 How Many People Have Gathered?

"How have so many people gathered?" Shi Feng swept his gaze around, unable to suppress his surprise. "They're not thinking of making a move here, are they?"

He wasn't surprised by the hostility of the various fleets, but the presence of so many players in the hall felt off.

By mere estimation, the number of people exceeded two thousand, occupying nearly half of the hall's space.

Although the numbers were large, this was still an NPC city. Unless they were confident in escaping the pursuit of the NPCs, the punishment for getting caught would be terrifying.

"No, it's just following past practices," Jun Wuchang shook his head, explaining. "Every time we come out of the Secret Realm, we re-plan the distribution of resources controlled by the Freedom Alliance based on our performance and gains within the Secret Realm."

"Although this re-planning doesn't redistribute the benefit ratio like the seat ranking competition, it simply readjusts the upgrade resources based on the Secret Realm ranking. For example, our Third Fleet used to only be able to level up in areas like Locke's Graveyard and the Black Marsh Altar. This time, our Third Fleet performed the best, so we might be able to go to the Dark Silent Logging Camp and the Wrathwind Sanctuary to level up."

"The members of the various fleets you see here are actually the captains of those fleets. They're only here to find out the newly allocated upgrade areas for their respective fleets."

Jun Wuchang's eyes shone as he spoke.

This was also why Jun Wuchang had invited Shi Feng, not only because of the inheritance issue but also because of the redistribution of upgrade resources in the future.

It was well known in God's Domain that the resources in an area were limited, not infinite.

Or rather, this was the case in any virtual game. Whether it was a guild or a freedom alliance like theirs, because of the large number of members, it was impossible for all members to level up in the same area. Otherwise, the average resources each member received would decrease. Therefore, it was necessary to plan the upgrade areas for each fleet to avoid wasting resources.

In high-resource maps, not only were there enough Field Bosses, but there were also more high-level and rare quests, as well as treasure chests. This would have a significant impact on their future competition for seats.

Shi Feng suddenly understood, finally realizing why these people were hostile towards them.

It was probably not only because they had scammed a large amount of superb weapons and equipment, but also because the future upgrade areas would undergo significant changes. After all, they had scammed the various fleets quite a bit, so the ranking of the fleets would change greatly compared to the past.

"Is Wrathwind Sanctuary also within the Freedom Alliance's sphere of influence?" Shi Feng suddenly thought of something, asking quietly.

In his previous life, as the president of a second-rate guild, he knew far more information than those top experts. Although he knew much less about places outside the Star-Moon Kingdom, he still knew a lot about the more famous places and events in the various kingdoms and empires.

The Lifestyle classes on the Endless Sea were generally inferior to those in the kingdoms and empires on the mainland, but they were able to catch up later, not only because of the developed sea transport, but also because of the few Lifestyle class small holy lands, which allowed the Lifestyle players on the sea to develop rapidly.

Among these dozen or so small holy lands, the Wrathwind Sanctuary was one of them.

However, in his previous life, the Wrathwind Sanctuary was not within the Freedom Alliance's sphere of influence, but belonged to the Sea Home.

"Yes, the Wrathwind Sanctuary is a new high-resource map occupied by our Freedom Alliance. Previously, the members of the First Fleet were leveling up there. I heard that there are many rare quests there, and you might even be able to get two or three more Bronze Speedboats. Moreover, the number of Field Bosses there is two or three times that of Locke's Graveyard. It's currently the number one leveling map in our Freedom Alliance, and it's much faster to improve the weapons and equipment of fleet members than in Locke's Graveyard," Jun Wuchang nodded excitedly.

"I see," Shi Feng said with a smile. "If Brother Wuchang's fleet is leveling up there, I would like to ask you for some help. I am willing to offer ten thousand gold as thanks."

"Ten thousand gold?" Jun Wuchang was taken aback upon hearing this. "Brother Yefeng, you're not joking with that many gold coins, are you?"

Although he was the leader of the Third Fleet, with tens of thousands of brothers under his command, and a 20% profit sharing from Azurewave City, it was impossible for him to take out ten thousand gold at once. Just the usual maintenance of weapons and equipment for the fleet members and speedboats cost an unknown amount of money, not to mention the compensation fees paid to members for competing with other forces, and the purchase of rare props from other kingdoms for use in Secret Realms and Boss strategies.

His current savings were less than ten thousand gold. Shi Feng's offer of ten thousand gold was simply extravagant and enough for him to buy many more advanced speedboats from players to quickly restore the Third Fleet.

"That's right, it's ten thousand gold, but this matter has to be accomplished first. Before that, I will pay five hundred gold as a deposit," Shi Feng nodded.

"No problem, as long as Brother Yefeng asks, I will do my best to do what I can," Jun Wuchang's eyes flashed with golden light, and his breathing became a little heavy, fearing that Shi Feng would go back on his word.

"It's very simple. If the Wrathwind Sanctuary is under your jurisdiction, I hope to obtain the Wrathwind Emblem of Wrathwind Town," Shi Feng said with a smile.

The regional towns in the Endless Sea are not like those on the mainland. Some are like Thunder Isle, where it depends on the player's status. The higher the status, the higher the authority in the town. However, the Wrathwind Emblem is not like the Thunder Emblem, which only has ten. The Wrathwind Emblem has no quantity limit, but the drop rate is very, very low.

As long as you obtain the Wrathwind Emblem, players in Wrathwind Town can obtain high-level authority and do things that ordinary players cannot do, without having to accumulate contribution points bit by bit to improve their authority.

"Wrathwind Emblem?" Jun Wuchang thought for a moment. Although he hadn't leveled up in the Wrathwind Sanctuary, if he took over the Wrathwind Sanctuary as an upgrade area, according to the alliance agreement, the members of the First Fleet would have to hand over the obtained town emblems to him for management, in order to better manage the town. If he took out one of them, there would be no problem. At worst, they could make up for the vacancy with the emblems they obtained later. "Okay, no problem, I will do this as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Shi Feng signed a new contract with Jun Wuchang and paid five hundred gold in advance.

Time passed. Just as Shi Feng and Jun Wuchang were waiting for the Secret Realm to end and the final announcement of the new upgrade areas for the various fleets, in a small corner of the hall, six players wearing black cloaks were staring intently at Shi Feng.

"Scorpion, he's the person Baiye was talking about, right?" A middle-aged man with two snow-white daggers at his waist and a black-and-white goatee looked to the side where nothing was there, asking quietly.

"That's right, he's the person the leader wants to get rid of. This is his latest information," Scorpion, who was in stealth, looked at the middle-aged man with great reverence.

In the Sacred Hall of Law, the most powerful person was definitely not Uncle Li, but if you asked who was the most skilled assassin in the Sacred Hall of Law, it would be none other than Uncle Li. He was recognized as the number one in the entire Sacred Hall of Law.

Even the president of their Sacred Hall of Law had said that if Uncle Li wanted to assassinate him, the success rate would be 40 to 50 percent.

Don't underestimate 40 to 50 percent, but considering that the target of the assassination was the president of their Sacred Hall of Law, you couldn't find a few people in the entire virtual game world who could have such a high probability.

"What an interesting young man." Uncle Li looked at Shi Feng's combat video, stroking his black-and-white goatee. "It's a pity to fight now. Forget it, Scorpion, go and prepare."

"Yes!" Scorpion nodded repeatedly and left.
