Chapter 1 Silence

Looking at the system notification, Shi Feng was silent for a long time.

He knew it wouldn't be easy to get an equipment set like the Ruined Set, which had been used by legendary figures in God's Domain. However, he hadn't expected it to be *this* difficult.

Repairing it would have been one thing, but reforging it was no different from creating it anew.

Moreover, as long as he possessed the Ruined Armor, he was likely to be attacked by mutated orcs in the wild at any time, which would make his actions rather troublesome.

Most importantly, his current Ruined state caused a severe decline in his basic attributes, and his mental strength was constantly being consumed. If he didn't find a way to solve this quickly, it would be fatal to him, whether it was leveling up or doing quests.

"It seems I have to go find Seluola." Shi Feng sighed helplessly.

Seluola was the only forging grandmaster he was familiar with. As for forging masters, they couldn't even begin to touch a set like the Ruined Set, which had been used by legendary figures of God's Domain. It was simply on a different level than ordinary Legendary sets. It could be said that it was the best of the Legendary equipment. Only a forging grandmaster could help a little.

Just as Shi Feng was arranging for everyone to rest offline, he suddenly noticed a skill prompt in his skill bar.

"There's a special skill reward?" Shi Feng clicked on the skill bar, surprised.

He didn't know when, but a special skill, Ruined Domain, had appeared in his skill bar, a domain skill that could only be used in the Ruined state.

Ruined Domain can dissolve all skill and magic attacks and restriction effects within the domain (magic skills below Tier 2 are nullified, and the effects of magic skills above Tier 2 are weakened by 50%). It suppresses all people within a radius of 50 yards, weakening basic attributes by 30%, constitution by 30%, stamina by 30%, and increases mental and physical consumption by 300%. No cooldown time.

"So there's still some good to it." Shi Feng looked at the Ruined Domain, slightly surprised.

A domain skill without any restrictions was something that only Tier 4 or higher domain skills could achieve.

Moreover, in terms of suppressive power alone, the Ruined Domain was even above the World Projection. After all, the mental and physical strength consumption of players within the domain would be greatly increased, while using the World Projection required five thousand magic crystals. Although the World Projection was only aimed at hostile targets and the Ruined Domain suppressed indiscriminately, it was still very remarkable.

At least with this Ruined Domain, he wouldn't be afraid of group battles.

A player's mental and physical strength weren't as easy to increase as basic attributes. Usually, only when the tier was raised would there be a qualitative change. Without mental or physical strength, even if a player was at full health, they would have no combat power and could only be slaughtered.

Afterwards, Shi Feng sorted out all the dropped items from the orc warlord and the orc general all at once.

Among the hundred or so dropped items, apart from the Ruined Armor that surprised Shi Feng, the other dropped items were very ordinary. The best one was just an Epic-grade cloth armor headpiece, Eye of Chaos, which was a top-quality item for magic players, because the Eye of Chaos could increase spellcasting distance by 20%, and spellcasting completion by 2%. These were attributes that all magic players pursued.

Shi Feng didn't specifically allocate it to anyone. He directly put it in the guild's core warehouse for internal guild auction, with a reserve price of 500,000 points. According to the current guild point price, one point was equal to 32 copper coins, so the total price of 1,600 gold coins was considered very cheap.

In addition to the Epic-grade Eye of Chaos, there were also more than 20 Fine-Gold and Dark-Gold equipment items from level 50 to 55. Among them, there were eight Dark-Gold equipment items, all of which were top-quality equipment that major guilds wanted to obtain. After all, only super-large dungeons above level 50 had a chance to drop Dark-Gold equipment, and the quantity was very scarce.

In addition to the equipment, there were also more than a dozen rare materials, all of which were Epic-grade materials, and seventeen magic scrolls. Although there were no Tier 4 magic scrolls, there were two Tier 3 summoning scrolls and three Tier 3 large-scale destruction magic scrolls, which could be said to be a considerable harvest.

However, compared to these things, the dropped advanced alchemy recipe, Mana Amplification Potion, was truly top-quality.

Unlike the mana potions and mana regeneration potions on the market, it neither increased the player's mana cap nor restored mana, but it could increase the effect of the cast magic by 100% for 20 seconds, and was a burst-type potion with a ten-minute cooldown.

Burst-type potions were not sold on the market at all. They were almost always digested internally by guilds, after all, not every player could learn burst skills.

With this Mana Amplification Potion, the guild's elite team would be able to complete dungeons much more easily, especially for healers. Originally, a single heal could only restore four to five thousand health points, but after using the Mana Amplification Potion, the same healing magic could restore nine thousand to ten thousand, which was a potion that greatly improved the team's survivability.

If it could be manufactured in large quantities, it would undoubtedly allow the guild's elite team to improve significantly in a short period of time.

After sorting out all the dropped items, Shi Feng looked at the time. There were less than three minutes left before he went offline, so he clicked on the system bar and chose to log out of God's Domain to rest.

However, players in the major kingdoms and two empires surrounding the Orc Empire were in chaos, all speculating about what would happen in the new Orc Empire expansion, Orc Riot, and the major guilds were also rushing to prepare for it.

Every expansion was an opportunity, and if handled correctly, they could rise rapidly.

"Because of the last expansion, Empire's Rise, the Heavenly Burial Guild surpassed the top guilds of the surrounding countries in one fell swoop. We, Baihua Palace, can't miss this opportunity. Immediately send people to investigate which force triggered the new expansion." Mu Yun, the vice president of Baihua Palace, who was resting in a high-end restaurant in White River City, also constantly issued orders to her subordinates.

Now, the Orc Empire was the focus of attention for major guilds in the surrounding countries and the two empires. Last time, the Heavenly Burial Guild took advantage of it and took down an easily captured orc town early on, which was now the envy of the major guilds.

Now that a new expansion was released, it would definitely change the situation, which was a good opportunity for these top guilds to break the existing situation.

At this time, it was not only Baihua Palace, but even top guilds such as Heavenly Burial Guild and Xinghe Alliance, and even the super-first-class guild Chidi, which was resting in Star-Moon Kingdom, were also inquiring about which force triggered the new expansion.

After all, being able to trigger a new expansion would give them some advantages in their hands. If they could occupy or cooperate, they could also gain more advantages before the new expansion began.

"Old Yuan, do you have any news?" Xinghe Wangxi asked Yuan Tiexin in the video.

When it came to intelligence, no one's intelligence network was more powerful than Tianji Pavilion's. They were almost distributed throughout God's Domain. There was no news they didn't know. For such a major event as the new expansion that required the system to update offline, they would definitely send people to investigate as soon as possible, which was simply not comparable to top guilds like them.

"There is some news. You should have guessed which guild it is in your heart." Yuan Tiexin stroked his goatee and said slowly.

"Could it really be Zero Wing Guild?" Xinghe Wangxi said in surprise.

It was enough to guard the Lost Forest Town and obtain a lot of guild contribution points, but now they triggered a new expansion. It was simply impossible for others to survive.

Yuan Tiexin nodded and then hung up the communication.

"Uncle Yuan, this Zero Wing Guild is really going to rise. First, they helped Feng Qianyu take control of part of Thunder Island, and they also have a city in Star-Moon Kingdom. Now they have triggered the new expansion of the Orc Empire. As time goes by, it will probably be difficult for Jiulong Huang to deal with him in the future." Zi Qiong looked at the Zero Wing information she had compiled in her hand and smiled slightly.

"Yes! So the president also contacted me and asked us to go to the Zero Wing Guild to have a good talk later. Aren't you going to challenge the Sword Maniac Jiuxiao Longyun next? This time, you can also go to the Zero Wing Guild to compete with their experts." Yuan Tiexin couldn't help but sigh.

Unconsciously, the emerging guild Zero Wing had reached the point where even their Tianji Pavilion had to pay attention to it.
