Chapter 1 God and Demon Arena

White River City, God and Demon Arena.

Ever since the Seven Crimes Flower had targeted Zero Wing, Aqua Rose and the other higher-ups had been staying in the God and Demon Arena, continuously consuming Magic Crystals and Hundred Berry Wine to improve their strength in the Trial Tower and the God and Demon Battlefield.

They broke records on the Trial Tower time and time again, shocking the players of White River City and making them even more awestruck by the Zero Wing Guild.

In the God and Demon Arena, a bald man wearing gray leather armor stared at the trial leaderboard while drinking vodka.

Suddenly, a slender youth wearing a black cloak sat down next to the bald man.

"Zhun Jiu, what's the general situation with Zero Wing's higher-ups?" the slender youth asked quietly, ordering a bottle of Icy Blue Spirits.

"Their strength has been improving rapidly recently. Three of them have already reached the eighth floor of the Trial Tower, and seven have reached the seventh floor. The others probably won't be far behind and might reach the seventh floor soon. It won't be easy to kill them all back to level zero," the bald man named Zhun Jiu said with a smile. "But the stronger they are, the better, so we can earn more."

"Indeed, I just don't know if the Opener Conglomerate is willing to spend the money," the slender youth nodded in agreement.

"I think they will," Zhun Jiu took a Magic Crystal from his hand and gave it to the NPC bartender, buying another bottle of vodka. "Magic Crystals are the lifeline of God's Domain. If the Opener Conglomerate takes Stoneclaw Mountain Range, the money they earn in the future will be far more than what we get."

"Hopefully, the Opener Conglomerate will be willing to spend the money. I haven't taken on any big jobs in a long time. This Zero Wing job is good, a good chance for me to practice," the slender youth downed a mouthful of Icy Blue Spirits and looked at the three names on the eighth floor of the Trial Tower. "Hmm, why isn't Black Flame's name there?"

"Black Flame is a very mysterious person. Until now, I haven't found out the extent of his strength. However, judging from the collected information, he has reached a very high level in the Micro Realm, maybe even your level," Zhun Jiu said seriously, glancing at the slender youth beside him.

"Reached my level, the second layer of Micro Realm? That's interesting. Now that you mention it, I want to give it a try," the slender youth's eyes showed excitement, as if he had found a delightful prey.

"Ang, you're thinking too much. He's already been reserved by Yin. At most, you can choose from the eighth floor of the Trial Tower," Zhun Jiu shook his head and pointed to the names of Ziyan Liuyun, Fire Dance, and Aqua Rose on the trial leaderboard with a smile.

"Yin, why is he suddenly interested in a task of this level?" the slender youth named Ang asked in surprise. "His targets have always been those old monsters, haven't they?"

"Who knows?" Zhun Jiu spread his hands. "But the Opener Conglomerate made a great deal this time. Normally, a master of Yin's level would never handle a task of this level. It depends on whether the Opener Conglomerate is willing to pay the price."

"This guy named Black Flame is really unlucky, to be targeted by Yin. No one in the heavens or on earth can save him." Ang said with slight sympathy.

The Seven Crimes Flower has different levels for tasks, as well as different levels for masters, with one level corresponding to another. A master like him is only at the intermediate level, while Yin is already a top-level master of the Seven Crimes Flower. Dealing with Black Flame is simply a waste of time.

At the same time, the Star River Alliance, a first-rate guild in Star-Moon City, officially launched a full-scale war against Zero Wing, determined to seize Stone Forest Town.

The news spread throughout the entire Star-Moon Kingdom immediately.

The outer region of Stoneclaw Mountain Range.

A 500-man team was annihilating a Kobold settlement.

As a Kobold settlement, there are usually Lord-ranked Kobolds. Powerful Kobold settlements even have three or four Lords, as well as several or more Elite Kobolds.

In this Kobold settlement, there were three Lord-ranked Kobolds and seventeen Elite Kobolds, but they had little power to resist against this 500-man team.

They had been almost completely annihilated, with only one level 38 Lord Kobold stubbornly holding on, but in the end, it died at the hands of a female warrior wearing silver-white armor.

"Qingxue, something big has happened with the Star River Alliance," Zhao Yueru said suddenly, wearing a purple-red robe. "Just now, the Star River Alliance launched a full-scale war against Zero Wing, sending out many elites to deal with Zero Wing."

"The old guard of the Star River Alliance has finally been seduced by the Opener Conglomerate's money," Bai Qingxue said with a light smile. "Although I don't know what trump cards the Star River Alliance has, it's a good opportunity for us to take advantage. Immediately notify everyone that our Ouroboros is also launching a full-scale war against the Star River Alliance."

Soon after, shocking news also spread from Star-Moon City.

The two major first-rate guilds of Star-Moon City were finally going to make a move. This war was not like the small frictions of the past, but a real fight. In the future, anyone from the two guilds who encountered each other in the wild would either die or live, with no third option.

While Star-Moon City was in an uproar, Shi Feng was completely unaware.

System: Congratulations to player for completing the quest Solomon's Treasure, reward 10 million experience points, 20 free mastery points, and one Completely Random Treasure Chest.

After the system notification, Shi Feng's experience bar increased a little, and a wooden treasure chest emitting a purple glow appeared in his bag.

Completely Random Treasure Chest, may bring rewards to the player, or may bring punishment, disappears after opening five times.

"Isn't this a Calamity Treasure Chest?" Shi Feng looked at the shining Completely Random Treasure Chest in his bag and was speechless.

Completely Random Treasure Chest is the system's name, but familiar players prefer to call it by another name, the Calamity Treasure Chest.

Nine out of ten times it is opened, it results in punishment, and the punishment is quite severe, either losing levels or permanently deducting attributes, or being unable to gain any experience points for many days, or having attack power greatly weakened for many days, hence the name Calamity Treasure Chest.

Of course, if you can get a reward, it's a very pleasant thing.

Many people have shown off on the forums before.

Someone opened an Epic item from a Completely Random Treasure Chest, some opened a whole set of Dark-Gold equipment, and some opened a top-quality mount, etc. All the rewards are very tempting.

Reward and punishment, it depends on how the player weighs it.

But this thing is more beneficial than harmful for Shi Feng.

Luck attribute has a greater impact on opening treasure chests. Even if the opening results in a punishment, because of the luck attribute, it may be a very small punishment, but compared to the reward, it is still very worthwhile.

Now that the Seven Crimes Flower is likely to attack Zero Wing, improving strength is imminent, and Shi Feng will naturally not give up the opportunity to improve his strength, especially since his chances are much higher than others.

"Hopefully, I'll open something good."

Shi Feng activated Divine Grace, his luck attribute soared, and he reached out to open the Calamity Treasure Chest.
