“It should be able to evolve.”

Shi Feng chose to evolve the Holy City Emblem, but he was still a little uncertain. After all, the Holy City Emblem didn't have quality grades like weapons and equipment, which could be divided into Bronze and Mysterious-Iron.

A wisp of purple mist flowed out from the azure blue Holy Grail, slowly enveloping the silver Holy City Emblem in Shi Feng's hand, as if scanning the item.

After three seconds, a system notification sounded in Shi Feng's ear.

System: Are you willing to permanently lose 1,000 HP to evolve the Holy City Emblem?

"As expected of a Legendary item, it's amazing!" Shi Feng couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement.

Although permanently losing 1,000 HP was a bit too harsh, even more than the 600 HP lost when evolving the Dark-Gold grade Icarus's Heart, equivalent to losing 30 points of Endurance, it was all worth it. As long as he could evolve it successfully, the value it would bring would far exceed that of an Epic item.

Immediately, Shi Feng chose to agree to the evolution.

Instantly, Shi Feng's HP dropped by 1,000 points, from the original 26,300 points to 25,300 points.

However, even with a decrease of 1,000 HP, Shi Feng's HP was still thicker than Cola, who was considered a HP tank. If Shi Feng activated the Earth Ring of the Seven Luminaries Ring, he would become an even more resistant MT than Cola...

As Shi Feng's HP decreased, streams of emerald green liquid flowed into the Holy Grail. The purple halo emanating from the Holy Grail also began to emit a dazzling light, gradually sinking into the Holy City Emblem.

Suddenly, the Holy City Emblem emitted a dazzling golden light, enveloping the entire warehouse.

"Did it succeed?" Shi Feng stared intently at the Holy City Emblem in his hand, his expression extremely tense.

If it succeeded, it would mean that the future development of the Candlelight Trading Firm would become limitless.

While other guilds were still distressed about the resources spent on cultivating advanced Lifestyle players, he could easily cultivate batches of advanced Lifestyle players, allowing the Candlelight Trading Firm to occupy an absolute advantage.

Even if there weren't enough shops, the quantity of high-end goods would easily overwhelm other trading firms. Moreover, since high-end goods were the mainstream items that players bought, he wouldn't have to worry about the Candlelight Trading Firm lacking competitiveness.

If he could cultivate a Master-level player, the money earned every day would be enough to make someone's hands cramp from counting.

If it failed, he would have to wait another ten days, and then spend another 1,000 HP. Just thinking about it made him feel depressed. But even if he was depressed, he would have to continue because Titan City concerned the future of the Candlelight Trading Firm.

After the golden light dissipated, the original silver Holy City Emblem had now turned light gold. Moreover, tiny divine runes were engraved on the emblem, causing the surrounding magic power to involuntarily converge, making the Holy City Emblem seem to be enveloped in a faint mist, adding a touch of mystery.

Then, Shi Feng checked the Holy City Emblem's stats.

Holy City Emblem: Can open the portal to Titan City, allowing up to twenty people to enter. Cooldown time: seven days. The holder of this emblem can extend their stay in Titan City by two days each time they enter.

After reading the description, Shi Feng was overjoyed.

Although it didn't allow him to extend the time players could enter like a city entry token, the number of people who could enter increased from ten to twenty, which was doubled. Moreover, the emblem holder could stay two days longer than others, which for Shi Feng was simply an unlimited residence permit for Titan City.

Normally, after entering the Holy City, players could only stay for three days. Honorary citizens could extend their stay to five days, equivalent to an additional two days. With the Holy City Emblem's effect, they could extend their stay by another two days, adding up to exactly seven days, which was also the Holy City Emblem's cooldown time.

This way, even without increasing any reputation, Shi Feng could continue to live in Titan City. With Titan City's environment, whether it was for Lifestyle players or players who loved adventure and combat, it was like being in paradise.

"This isn't bad. Even if I go to Titan City to do quests in the future, I won't have to worry about running out of time," Shi Feng said with a slight smile as he looked at the light gold emblem in his hand.

Titan City was not only a holy land for Lifestyle players, but also a holy land for adventure and combat players. However, the slots were extremely precious. Even if the major guilds obtained slots, they would only use them for Lifestyle players, unwilling to waste them on adventure and combat players, because that would be more helpful to the guild.

But as the number of players entering the Holy City increased, the adventure and combat players gradually discovered the benefits of staying in Titan City, which were no less than the benefits gained by Lifestyle players. It was just that the major guilds found out about this too late, and it was no longer of great use to their level and combat prowess.

…

Star-Moon City, Serpent's Kiss Guild Residence.

Due to the emergence of the Blackwater Consortium, the entire guild had become chaotic. At this time, many players in the guild hall had no intention of going outside to level up, and were all discussing the guild's affairs.

Moreover, the meeting hall was also filled with endless arguments.

"Are you enterprises really going to stand on the side of the Blackwater Consortium? Have you considered that Blackwater's actions are simply to seize the entire Serpent's Kiss and turn it into Blackwater's private property? At that time, the Serpent's Kiss will probably have nothing to do with you anymore!" Zhao Yueru frowned, looking at the elders on the side, and said angrily, "Aren't you going to think about it?"

The guild elders who were not enterprise representatives also nodded, agreeing with what Zhao Yueru said.

The Blackwater Consortium was a group that ate people without spitting out bones. Before even taking down the Serpent's Kiss guild, they already wanted to force the current guild leader to step down and take over the management of the Serpent's Kiss. The things they would do next could already be foreseen.

At that time, even the name Serpent's Kiss would completely disappear from the virtual game world.

Then, the Blackwater Consortium, which owned 90% of the shares, would seize the remaining 10% of the shares and completely swallow all of Serpent's Kiss. At that time, these enterprises would only receive some compensation and would only be able to drink the northwest wind in the future.

Now, God's Domain was becoming more and more popular, and it had become extremely popular because of the emergence of the Spiritual Space system.

Even fools knew what the future of God's Domain would be like. Otherwise, many large enterprises would not have needed to enter God's Domain one by one to develop their own guilds or invest in large guilds.

Serpent's Kiss, as a first-rate guild, originally had a considerable advantage, and had accumulated a lot of land. If Blackwater really seized it, even if these enterprises wanted to establish their own guilds in the future, even if they spent several times, or even more than ten times the money, they probably would not be able to reach their current level.

Doing so was just killing the goose to get the eggs.

"Regarding the capital chain problem you mentioned, I have already used the guild's inventory materials to raise funds. In addition to the funds I have here, according to my estimates, the enterprises behind you should be able to withstand the suppression of the Blackwater Consortium in a short period of time."

"Our Serpent's Kiss can also use this time to quickly capture towns. After capturing a few towns, with the profits from a few towns, the entire guild will be able to ensure basic independent operation, without having to buy gold coins and hire gold farming groups from the outside world. And you can also keep the existing shares of Serpent's Kiss. What do you think?"

Bai Qingxue's beautiful eyes shifted to the enterprise representatives among the elders, and she calmly put forward her plan.

Although this plan was very aggressive, or rather, a desperate gamble.

But this was the best choice that Serpent's Kiss could make at present.
