Chapter 1 The Gathering

While Shi Feng was silently reaping the players of Yi Xiao Qingcheng all around,

White River City became the focus of the entire Star-Moon Kingdom. Many first-rate and second-rate guild executives came to White River City, instantly making the city lively.

"What's going on? Why are there so many guilds in White River City? I haven't even seen many of them."

"I heard they are all here to discuss cooperation with the Candlelight Trading Firm. Not only the Star-Moon Kingdom, but even guilds from the surrounding kingdoms, and even the Black Dragon Empire, have come."

"Others say that the players of the Empire are stronger than the players of the Kingdom, but it seems that's not the case. In the end, they still actively run to our White River City."

"Isn't the Candlelight Trading Firm awesome? Take a look at the other kingdoms. Which kingdom's shops can sell Intermediate Mana Armor Plates? No one is selling level 25 Dark-Gold equipment right now, and Intermediate Mana Armor Plates are even more powerful than level 25 Dark-Gold equipment. Moreover, this thing can be mass-produced. If a guild's players use it, and another guild doesn't, the difference during dungeon raids and PK battles will be obvious. These big guilds naturally have to pay attention."

The streets and alleys of White River City were all talking about this matter. They felt genuinely proud of the gathering of so many big guilds in White River City. No one would have thought that a lifestyle guild would have such great energy.

"Damn it, why are so many people coming?" Feng Xuanyang looked at the increasing number of large guild representatives entering the Candlelight Trading Firm, his eyes faintly filled with anger.

He had finally sold the Stone of Light at a low price, losing a lot of Credits to get 1,500 Gold. Now that so many big guilds were here, the purpose was obviously the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates.

Needless to say, the number of Intermediate Mana Armor Plates was extremely scarce. Originally, it was a big problem for him to buy 300 by himself, but now a bunch of people had popped up to snatch them, which greatly reduced his chances. How could he not be angry?

Among them, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, which had come all the way from the Black Dragon Empire, was even more remarkable. It was a top-tier first-rate guild closest to becoming a super guild, only its establishment time was shorter than those super guilds, otherwise it would also be one of the super guilds now.

And the power and financial resources behind the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion were definitely not below the Underworld organization. It was now firmly the number one guild in the entire Black Dragon Empire, and simply not comparable to other first-rate guilds.

The representative who came this time was one of the two Pavilion Masters of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, the Dragon Pavilion Master, whose position in the guild was only below the Great Pavilion Master.

The management model of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was different from ordinary guilds. Ordinary guilds generally had a Guild Leader, Vice Guild Leader, Elders, etc., while the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was divided into two pavilions, a Dragon Pavilion and a Phoenix Pavilion, each equivalent to a guild, each developing independently. It could be said that the Pavilion Master was the Guild Leader of a guild, and the strength of one pavilion was equivalent to a top-tier first-rate guild. With two pavilions combined, one could imagine how strong they were.

Both pavilions were managed by the Great Pavilion Master. This Great Pavilion Master was very mysterious. Until now, no one knew the identity of this Great Pavilion Master, but being able to manage two top-tier first-rate guilds, one could imagine the capabilities of this Great Pavilion Master.

"Young Master Feng, we should be happy about this matter." A slightly fat man beside Feng Xuanyang said with a smile.

"Qin Jiu, what do you mean by that?" Feng Xuanyang frowned. "Now that there are so many competitors, how can I possibly buy 300 Intermediate Mana Armor Plates?"

"Young Master Feng, wasn't our initial goal to defeat the Candlelight Trading Firm and establish our own commercial empire in White River City?" Qin Jiu slowly explained, "If the people who come now are just some small fish, it's a good thing for the Candlelight Trading Firm, but now that a bunch of tigers and leopards have come, it's not a good thing for the Candlelight Trading Firm."

"Think about it, the people who come here either want to acquire the Candlelight Trading Firm, or they want to cooperate. But who doesn't want to firmly tie the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates to their own hands, especially the people from the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. The Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion has invested heavily in becoming a super guild, recruiting many experts. Even five of the top ten rookies in the virtual game world last year were recruited by them, not to mention those experts who have been famous for many years."

"Now, the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates are a great help for the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to take a step further. Naturally, they want to hold the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates in their hands. In addition, other guilds are similar."

"But for the Candlelight Trading Firm, Young Master Feng, you have also met that manager. You have personally experienced that personality. She is so strong that even Miss Youlan is helpless about it. One can imagine what kind of end these guilds that have run over here will have. In the end, they will definitely break up unhappily, and the Candlelight Trading Firm will also become enemies with major guilds. Then, we will not only have the opportunity to complete the mission, but also be able to use this to deal with the Candlelight Trading Firm, right?"

After Qin Jiu finished speaking, Feng Xuanyang suddenly understood.

"You're right, we have a good show to watch now." Feng Xuanyang couldn't help but grin.

Beneath this seemingly grand event, there was actually a strong sense of danger.

Offending these guilds, these guilds would definitely do their best to suppress the Candlelight Trading Firm in all aspects. In addition, with their Underworld fanning the flames, who would dare to provide materials to the Candlelight Trading Firm? Who would dare to sell materials to the Candlelight Trading Firm? Any guild or studio that dared to do so could forget about surviving in God's Domain. Even if the Candlelight Trading Firm was just a lifestyle guild, without materials, without design blueprints, and other things, they couldn't expect to buy the current things for a lifetime, right? They would definitely be finished by then.

"Sister Youyu, there are so many guilds in the lobby on the first floor today. I can't even count them all. There are more than 100 guilds just registering to talk about things, and more than ten of them are first-rate guilds. They all look like they have bad intentions. What should we do?" A female assistant with a worried smile said nervously.

This kind of grand occasion was simply like a dream for ordinary players.

The Star-Moon Kingdom only had a few first-rate guilds in total, but all of them had come, not to mention the first-rate and second-rate guilds from other kingdoms and empires. This was simply a super event organized by all the forces of several major kingdoms and empires together.

But the organizer was just an ordinary trading firm. One could imagine how much pressure there was...

"I know, let the NPCs entertain them first. I'll think of a way."

Youyu Wei Xiao also frowned at this time. She really didn't expect the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates to have such a big impact, attracting a large group of hungry wolves and beasts.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have suggested that Shi Feng sell the Intermediate Mana Armor Plates. Even if they were sold, they should have waited until the Candlelight Trading Firm had established a firm foothold in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom first.

Now, it was the same whether she stuck her head out or hid it. It was a dilemma.

After the assistant left, although Youyu Wei Xiao really wanted to solve this big problem herself, she didn't have any way. This time was different from the last time. If she dared to be strong, she would offend all the forces of several major kingdoms and empires. It was simply hitting a stone with an egg, courting death.

In desperation, Youyu Wei Xiao had to contact Shi Feng. She had no way to deal with it now. The only one she could rely on was Shi Feng...
