Chapter 1 Blackwater

Star-Moon Kingdom, Blackwater Guild Residence.

Inside the opulent Guild Leader's office, three people were seated: two men and one woman. The men were Qiyi Tao, the Guild Leader of Blackwater, and Qin Muyun, who had previously managed affairs related to the Black Dragon Empire.

However, these two influential figures in the Blackwater Guild were now staring intently at the man sitting across from them.

This man was cloaked in a black robe, his face wrapped in dense bandages, completely obscuring his features and level. He emanated an ethereal aura, as if he would vanish from sight unless carefully observed.

"Are you saying that the Zero Wing Guild can construct magic towers at will?" Qiyi Tao raised an eyebrow, finding the news hard to believe.

The effects of the magic tower in Stone Forest Town were well-known throughout the Star-Moon Kingdom.

It could be said that the magic tower was responsible for the overflowing crowds in Stone Forest Town.

Seeing so many players entering and exiting Stone Forest Town, Qiyi Tao was filled with envy, as all those players represented money!

Although the Blackwater Consortium had deep pockets, its source of gold coins was limited.

With the current income of Stone Forest Town, Blackwater might already be unable to outlast Zero Wing. If the news was true that Zero Wing could occupy one or two more towns, even Blackwater would be helpless in a financial contest.

"I can assure you that this news is accurate. Furthermore, the Zero Wing Guild has now gained the support of a large, wealthy enterprise. It's likely that the Zero Wing Guild's strength will increase again in a short period," the bandaged man said with certainty. "If they are not eliminated early, the consequences will be endless."

"I understand. I will immediately send people to help the Underworld Guild construct the magic barrier. But how is your preparation going?" Qiyi Tao understood that this matter was urgent. The longer Zero Wing was allowed to exist, the harder it would be to deal with them in the future.

Moreover, Young Master Jing was already becoming impatient with this matter and wanted him to produce results quickly, or else his position as Guild Leader might be replaced.

"Not long now, a day at most. Then, even if Zero Wing Guild sends out all of its elites, they won't be able to do anything," the bandaged man said with a cold laugh. "But don't forget our agreement after it's done, or you know what will happen."

"Don't worry about that. I always keep my word. I will definitely give you what we agreed on," Qiyi Tao said, feeling even more confident after hearing the bandaged man's assurance.

The main force in this campaign against Stone Forest Town was not the Blackwater and Underworld Guilds, but the bandaged man before him.

"Guild Leader, Miss Ling sent a message saying that the Hall of Gods is ready. Now it's just a matter of when we take action," Qin Muyun suddenly reported.

"Good, have you personally lead a team to assist the Underworld Guild. As soon as the magic barrier is completed, immediately start the attack on Stone Forest Town!" Qiyi Tao said, delighted.

Although the conquest of Stone Forest Town was already a sure thing, the Hall of Gods' assistance was just icing on the cake. With the help of the Hall of Gods' experts, the Zero Wing Guild would not have even the slightest chance.

Chapter 2启示帝都

Apocalypse Empire, Imperial City Teleportation Hall.

As soon as Shi Feng teleported in, he discovered that the entire teleportation hall was packed with players, all waiting in line to teleport. The level of congestion was comparable to Stone Forest Town.

"There are really a lot of people!" Shi Feng said, looking around the room.

As one of the oldest empires in God's Domain, the Apocalypse Empire naturally had a large number of players, far more than other ordinary empires.

This was evident from the quality of the players in line.

Among the many players in line, many were high-level free players.

The mainstream players in God's Domain were around Level 35, but these free players were generally Level 37 or higher. There were even Level 40 experts mixed in.

Its prosperity even surpassed that of the Black Dragon Empire.

However, precisely because of this, there were three major forces fighting for control of the Apocalypse Empire: the first-rate guild Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, the super guild War Wolf, and the first-rate guild Miracle. Because of the competition between these three major forces, other first-rate guilds could only stand aside.

With the Apocalypse Empire's population resources, whichever force controlled the imperial capital would see its guild's future development soar.

With more people, the guild could more easily recruit talents and even geniuses.

Until now, the three forces had been fighting endlessly, sending many elite members and experts to develop here. Feng Qianyu was sent here by the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to preside over the overall situation.

This time, Feng Qianyu had also made a firm decision, betting everything on the cooperation with Zero Wing.

It must be said that Feng Qianyu had made the right bet.

If the Town of Beginnings had a magic tower, it would not only be able to amass wealth, but it would also allow the Town of Beginnings to be promoted to an intermediate town faster. Then the Town of Beginnings would truly become the cornerstone for the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to control the Apocalypse Empire.

Compared to the huge amount of funds invested, it was just a drop in the bucket, earning many times more.

However, Feng Qianyu probably did not expect that there would be a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Even without controlling the Town of Beginnings, they could still enjoy the greatest benefits from the Savage Wildlands.

Subsequently, Shi Feng directly teleported to Wanghai Town through the imperial capital's teleportation hall.

Wanghai Town was the closest seaside town to the Savage Wildlands. However, because the Savage Wildlands was in the sea, the usual way for players to get there was to hire a boat and slowly swim over. The sea was more dangerous than land, so one had to be careful when sailing. If the boat was accidentally destroyed, the players would have to rely on their own swimming.

Swimming was more exhausting than running on land, and the speed was slower. If one ran out of stamina midway, the end result would be drowning.

Because of these problems, it normally took nearly 20 hours to reach the Savage Wildlands, which was not very far from Wanghai Town.

When Shi Feng arrived at Wanghai Town, he did not immediately rent a boat, but went to the town's City Hall.

In his previous life, the popularity of the Savage Wildlands had caused many players to flock there, making Wanghai Town prosperous and lively. It even gradually rose from a small town to a city, and the value of land also soared.

But the real money wasn't in land.

Boat rentals were the real goldmine.

Boats were different from ordinary mounts, but they were also a means of transportation. Engineering players could also make them, but the blueprints were extremely rare, or rather, shockingly rare. Ordinary players wanted to make boats using the designs that came with the shipyard, and because of the shipyard, the production speed was quite fast.

There were a total of five shipyards for sale in Wanghai Town.

In his previous life, anyone who bought a shipyard made a fortune.

The boats made by the shipyard were not like the small fishing boats rented from NPCs, which were slow, could carry very few players, and had low durability, making it easy for accidents to happen. Therefore, players would rent boats made by players when going to the Savage Wildlands. The journey of nearly twenty hours could be shortened to ten hours, saving a lot of time and making it safer.

However, it was not easy to buy a shipyard in Wanghai Town. First, one needed to reach a certain level of reputation, or the town chief would not sell it.

By the time the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, which had discovered the Savage Wildlands, noticed the value of the shipyards, they would need to obtain enough reputation to purchase them.

It was impossible to gather enough reputation to reach the rank of Viscount in Wanghai Town in that amount of time.

But Shi Feng was different.

After Shi Feng walked into the City Hall, he directly changed his title to City Guardian. In any human city or town, he would enjoy the treatment of a great noble, which was the treatment of a viscount, and was fully qualified to buy a shipyard.
