Chapter 1 Facing Feng Qianyu's Question

Facing Feng Qianyu's question, Shi Feng shook his head directly, not showing the great interest in Thunder Island that Feng Qianyu had expected.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

If he truly understood the current situation of Thunder Island, he would know how fierce the competition was.

Not to mention top-tier guilds, even super guilds had already made moves, and it wasn't just a small skirmish. They were sending out their elites, all thinking of seizing control of Thunder Island. This would allow them to temporarily establish guild teleportation points, laying a foundation for exploring the Sea of Death in the future.

After all, the journey from the mainland to the Sea of Death wasn't short. Even departing from the nearest coastal town in the Apocalyptic Empire by speedboat would take more than a day to reach the Sea of Death, and it would pass through a dangerous sea area.

As for the basis for contesting Thunder Island, it was impossible without a sufficiently powerful fleet.

Sea monsters were originally stronger than monsters on land, and dealing with sea monster Bosses was even more difficult. Even the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion had sacrificed many elites and experts to kill just one sea monster Boss, losing more than thirty speedboats in the process. Such losses were probably unbearable even for first-rate guilds, and in the end, they could only obtain one or two passes.

For the Zero Wing Guild, which had no maritime foundation at all, the cost of getting a pass, if they really wanted to get involved, would probably be even greater than theirs.

"Give me twenty slots, and I can help you defend two ancient towers. The price is twenty thousand magic crystals, plus a temporary teleportation point on Thunder Island. If I can't do it, I won't take a single crystal, nor do I need any death compensation." After a moment of contemplation, Shi Feng looked at Feng Qianyu and said.

Occupying monster gathering places on Thunder Island was difficult because the strength of these monsters was generally above the Elite level, and depended on the levels of the players entering. Before Tier 2 players appeared, the Boss guarding the gathering places was a High Lord, coupled with the fact that other guilds might come to compete at any time, the difficulty was conceivable.

The most important point was that the defense and magic resistance of these monsters were extremely high, and ordinary strategies were impossible. They needed the blessing of the ancient towers to make it easier.

The more ancient towers occupied, the easier it would be to deal with these monsters.

However, the number of ancient towers on Thunder Island was limited, and major guilds would definitely send people to compete, but the number wouldn't be too large, after all, the monster gathering places were the most important.

Therefore, in order to ensure the preservation of the ancient towers, it generally took fifteen to twenty people to defend one. Generally, they could occupy three or four ancient towers, and with the strength of an expert team, more than a hundred people were enough to take a monster gathering place.

By taking on the defense work of two ancient towers in one go, he could definitely make things a lot easier for Feng Qianyu, saving at least ten people who could then help occupy monster gathering places.

"Ensure two ancient towers?" Feng Qianyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To ensure the stability of the ancient towers, she had previously dispatched twenty people to defend each tower. Three towers would be sixty people. The remaining hundred or so people were more than enough to take a gathering place. This was also her most conservative plan. Ideally, she would try to take two gathering places, but that was too difficult.

If it was as Shi Feng said, and he could hold two ancient towers, she could save twenty people, and if the fleet on Thunder Island worked harder, they might be able to collect two or three more passes before the fight for Thunder Island even started. It was indeed possible to take two gathering places.

It was just that the guild's temporary teleportation point was too difficult to obtain.

Taking a gathering place on Thunder Island only yielded two guild temporary teleportation points, and she had already promised the other teleportation point to another major guild that was assisting them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get so many passes.

In other words, they had to take two monster gathering places for sure.

But there were too many uncertain factors.

Moreover, Feng Qianyu found it hard to imagine when the Zero Wing Guild had so many powerful experts that only twenty people were needed to guard two ancient towers.

"Is there a difficulty?" Shi Feng asked, finding it strange as he watched the silent Feng Qianyu.

"I won't hide it from Guild Leader Black Flame. Taking a monster gathering place only yields two guild temporary teleportation points, one of which I have already promised to the Azure Firmament Guild. Although the Azure Firmament Guild is only a first-rate guild, it started developing its maritime strength early on. Its current maritime strength is stronger than that of many top-tier guilds. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get so many passes." Feng Qianyu slowly explained.

"Azure Firmament Guild?" Shi Feng couldn't help but recall information from his previous life.

In his previous life, the Azure Firmament Guild was indeed a maritime overlord-level guild, because it had occupied two coastal NPC cities with millions of inhabitants early on. This laid the foundation for the Azure Firmament Guild to develop its maritime strength. Moreover, it focused solely on developing its maritime strength. Even though its overall guild strength was much weaker than that of top-tier guilds, maritime combat power didn't just rely on guild experts. The quantity and quality of ships was paramount, so even some super guilds couldn't match the Azure Firmament Guild's maritime combat power.

No wonder the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, which had only started developing its maritime strength recently, had so many passes.

"Pavilion Master Feng, when does the fight for Thunder Island begin?" Shi Feng asked.

"The fight will begin in seven days, but it takes a day to get to Thunder Island, which means there are six days of preparation time." Feng Qianyu looked at Shi Feng strangely, not understanding why he was asking.

"Seven days should be enough." Shi Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at Feng Qianyu and said, "Pavilion Master Feng, how about I change my proposal? Give me sixty slots, and as long as your side can hold three ancient towers, my side can take a monster gathering place. How about giving me 100,000 magic crystals or land of equal value, plus a temporary teleportation point?"

Feng Qianyu and Qing Feng exchanged shocked glances upon hearing Shi Feng's words.

They felt that Shi Feng was crazy.

Paying 100,000 magic crystals was a small matter, but they completely didn't understand where Shi Feng got his confidence to make such bold claims.

Even if they normally occupied three ancient towers, wanting to clear out so many monsters in a monster gathering place, while also being careful of other guilds, even the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion would need at least a hundred people, and that was just a conservative estimate.

How big was the Zero Wing Guild?

Although it was full of experts in the eyes of ordinary players, it seemed laughable in front of super forces. The number of experts who could be put on the table was, at most, only about ten. Where would the remaining fifty come from?

Moreover, even if they conjured up fifty more experts who could be put on the table, it was impossible to take a monster gathering place with just sixty people.

"Pavilion Master Feng, your original idea was just to take one gathering place, right? You also know that the possibility of taking a second gathering place is small. Now, let our Zero Wing Guild strive for the second gathering place. I don't think it will be much of a loss for you. If you're not at ease, I can sign a contract with you. If we can't get a gathering place, our Zero Wing side will compensate you with 100,000 magic crystals. How about that?"
