Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 652 Asura-Rank Dungeon
"President Bai, long time no see. You look rather haggard," Shi Feng said, surprised, as he looked at Bai Qingxue, who looked somewhat weary in the video.
Bai Qingxue was a well-known female powerhouse in the virtual gaming world, and she had many capable people under her command.
It was unbelievable that she could be so tired after only a few days.
Bai Qingxue had been in the virtual gaming world for many years, and she was very good at managing guilds. In addition, most of the old members of噬身之蛇 (Bite of the Serpent) stood on Bai Qingxue's side, so it should be easier to manage now.
"I've been busy with guild affairs recently, so I haven't had a good rest," Bai Qingxue said with a light smile, glossing over the matter. She was somewhat envious of Shi Feng, who was a hands-off manager, entrusting most of the affairs to Shui Se Rose, and only developing in White River City. Unlike Bite of the Serpent, which had a large family and a big business, fighting in dozens of cities of all sizes.
But that was nothing compared to what was happening in Star-Moon City.
Bite of the Serpent and Star River Alliance, two top-tier guilds, had been frantically consolidating their positions in Star-Moon City, coupled with the involvement of other strong second-tier guilds, making things very chaotic.
Especially the three emerging guilds that had recently appeared in the Star-Moon Kingdom:
风烟九霄 (Wind and Cloud Nine Heavens).
光暗之庭 (Court of Light and Darkness).
天葬 (Sky Burial).
Each of these three guilds had an extraordinary background. They had guild residences in the major mainstream cities of the Star-Moon Kingdom, and their rise was as fast as a plague. The biggest impact was on Star-Moon City, followed by White River City.
In particular, the manager of the Sky Burial guild on the Star-Moon Kingdom side, Wu Xia, was even more difficult to deal with than Xinghe Wangxi of the Star River Alliance. They couldn't shake her off. They had dozens of battles, big and small. Although they had the upper hand, Bite of the Serpent wasn't just facing Sky Burial alone. The remaining Wind and Cloud Nine Heavens and Court of Light and Darkness were also eyeing them like wolves and tigers.
Bite of the Serpent's foundation was originally unstable. Cao Chenghua had taken away many of the guild's core members and a large number of elite players. Now that the internal strife had not yet subsided, they were facing so many troubles. How could she not be tired? Even her equipment hadn't been upgraded much.
After a few casual greetings, Bai Qingxue also knew Shi Feng's personality. He was always direct and didn't like beating around the bush, so she went straight to the point and said, "Our Bite of the Serpent has discovered a hidden treasure land near Star-Moon City. It's rich in Magic Crystals, so we want to invite Zero Wing to develop this treasure land together. I wonder if Guild Leader Black Flame is interested?"
Before the opening of the God's Domain Arena, Magic Crystals were of no value at all, but now they were strategic materials that major guilds were frantically vying for.
Although the major guilds had a huge number of members, they could get a lot of them from team dungeons every day, but a team dungeon could only be challenged once every three days. There were only so many team dungeons, which was not worth mentioning compared to the consumption.
Being able to get a large number of Magic Crystals from other places, one didn't have to think to know how great the benefits would be.
"Hidden treasure land?" Shi Feng thought of Stoneclaw Mountains as soon as he heard this.
In his previous life, the emergence of Stoneclaw Mountains caused a scramble among all the guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom. It was the first time a kingdom-level war was launched, with hundreds of large guilds fighting to divide the benefits.
That battle caused heavy losses to all the guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom, and Bite of the Serpent and Star River Alliance also launched a full-scale war. Sky Burial, Court of Light and Darkness, and Wind and Cloud Nine Heavens took the opportunity to rise. The combined strength of the three major guilds could compete with the two top-tier guilds, Bite of the Serpent and Star River Alliance. Finally, some second-tier guilds formed a large alliance and divided the benefits of Stoneclaw Mountains together.
In the future, if other players wanted to enter, they would need to sign a contract and hand over 30% of the Magic Crystals they harvested, in addition to paying a certain fee. These benefits would be distributed to the major guilds.
Stoneclaw Mountains was, to put it bluntly, a regional dungeon, a self-contained space, but not an ordinary dungeon, but an Asura-level dungeon.
Ordinary team dungeons were divided into three difficulties: Normal, Hard, and Hell.
But regional dungeons were divided into five difficulties: Normal, Hard, Hell, Asura, and God.
Stoneclaw Mountains was a regional dungeon with a difficulty level of four, with a dungeon level of 30 to 49. That is to say, only players with a level between 30 and 49 could enter this area. Unlike team dungeons, there was no limit to the number of people, just like White Mist Canyon. Inside, you could get good things that were not available in ordinary maps.
White Mist Canyon could get Starlight Ore, which could improve the success rate of forging. In addition, you could also get the Battlefire Set. Unfortunately, White Mist Canyon was destroyed by Shi Feng, attracting the Level 35 Great Lord Anubis Gatekeeper to patrol White Mist Canyon everywhere, causing no players to go there anymore.
And the difficulty of White Mist Canyon was only Hard level, while Stoneclaw Mountains was Asura level. It was very difficult to survive inside.
However, Magic Crystals were too important, so it was necessary to get them no matter how difficult it was. Even Zero Wing was no exception.
"Now, our major guilds are constantly vying for the ownership of the hidden treasure land. If Zero Wing is willing to help, I can give Zero Wing 50% of the income," Bai Qingxue offered a very tempting price.
Giving away 50% of the profits was also very painful for Bai Qingxue. Stoneclaw Mountains was in the Star-Moon Kingdom region, and it was impossible for Zero Wing to send a large number of people to supervise it frequently, so the supervision was mainly done by them. However, Zero Wing's combat power was extraordinary, and how strong Shi Feng was to this day was still a mystery. The possibility of success for the two guilds joining forces would be greater. As for joining forces with other guilds, it was simply impossible.
"Okay, but I have one condition." Shi Feng thought for a while. Zero Wing was mainly in White River City, and even if the guild had a fighting chance, it could only exert limited combat power if it wanted to take care of Star-Moon City, which was so far away. Moreover, it was unrealistic for one guild to want to take down Stoneclaw Mountains.
"Say it," Bai Qingxue glared at Shi Feng. Her conditions were already very generous, but Shi Feng still had conditions.
"It's not really a condition. I just want Bite of the Serpent to help me get some materials. I'll buy them at a price 20% higher." Shi Feng smiled.
He had too few materials for building the Beast Pen and Magic Teleportation Array. It would probably take a long time for Zero Wing to get them on its own. However, it would be much easier to get them through Bai Qingxue's channels, because many materials could only be obtained by large guilds, and free players simply couldn't get them. However, if you wanted to buy them, others simply wouldn't sell them, unless you knew them well.
"Tell me the materials," Bai Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She thought Shi Feng would make an outrageous demand, but he still had some humanity.
"I'll send them to you now." Shi Feng sent all the materials for building the Beast Pen and Magic Teleportation Array to Bai Qingxue.
"You really dare to ask for these things. Many of these materials are rare materials that only drop in large team dungeons. Our guild can get some, but increasing the price by 20% is too little. 50% is acceptable." Bai Qingxue's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment when she saw the list that Shi Feng had listed. Not to mention that Bite of the Serpent couldn't gather all these materials, even if the Star River Alliance was added, it was impossible. They had to go through some other first-rate guilds to get all of them. The cost alone would be as high as more than 2,000 gold.
"Okay, just get them as soon as possible." Shi Feng didn't care about the money. As long as he got them, making money would be a matter of minutes.
Hearing Shi Feng's nonchalant tone, Bai Qingxue was slightly startled.
Increasing the price by 50% would be more than 3,000 gold, which was a huge amount even for their first-rate guilds, but Shi Feng didn't take it seriously.
After the two parties signed the contract, Shi Feng immediately contacted Shui Se Rose and the others to start gathering people.
The matter of Stoneclaw Mountains should be done as soon as possible. The more advantageous terrain they occupied, the greater the advantage they would have when the war started.
