Chapter 1193 Blackwater's Actions

The alliance between Blackwater and Tianzang had a huge impact on the players of the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Originally, the Tianzang Guild's influence in Star-Moon City was no less than the first-rate guild, Star River Alliance. Now, joining forces with Blackwater, who had taken over Devouring Serpent, they directly seized Star-Moon City. No one in Star-Moon City dared to compete with the Blackwater and Tianzang Guilds, not even the Star River Alliance.

Almost all the high-resource maps in the Star-Moon City area were occupied by the two major guilds and designated as their private areas. Anyone who dared to go there to level up, mine, gather herbs, or kill wild Bosses would be killed in minutes, making it difficult for other guilds to survive in Star-Moon City.

But for free players, there wasn't much change. It was just a matter of different guilds. They didn't go to high-resource areas anyway, but leveled up and farmed monsters in ordinary areas. And even if the two major guilds, Tianzang and Blackwater, joined forces, they didn't have enough manpower to occupy the ordinary areas.

The reason why the major guilds want to monopolize high-resource areas is because there are more resources, which allows guild members to level up faster, maintain a level advantage, and collect more raw materials. It is meaningless to invade ordinary areas.

Blackwater Guild not only obtained the foundation of Devouring Serpent, but also directly merged with many large guilds.

Almost overnight, nearly thirty NPC cities changed their overlords to the Blackwater Guild.

Shi Feng was taken aback when he received the notice from Aqua Rose. He didn't expect the Blackwater Consortium's actions to be so swift and decisive, and that they could swallow so much at once without being overwhelmed. All aspects of management were still in good order. They were even constantly recruiting guild members in major cities, completely unlike other guilds, which would take a lot of time to slowly digest and consolidate even if they suddenly took over an ordinary NPC city before taking over the next one, just like the Zero Wing Guild.

The Blackwater Consortium's ability to do this showed how terrifying its foundation was.

Aqua Rose was very worried about this.

Zero Wing had finally stabilized its title as the number one guild in the Star-Moon Kingdom and began to develop externally. Now, such a behemoth had appeared in the Star-Moon Kingdom, and even publicly announced that it would start a war with the Zero Wing Guild, a fight to the death.

This was just the beginning. The number of times Zero Wing Guild members fought in the wild every day was several times more than usual. As the Blackwater Consortium continued to grow, the wild battles would definitely become more frequent, seriously affecting the guild members' leveling speed.

But Shi Feng wasn't surprised.

In the previous life, the Blackwater Consortium was only half as strong as it was during its heyday. It was so late before they really focused on God's Domain, and in the end, they still developed the guild he created into a super guild. The reason for this was that their foundation was too strong, and they had advantages that other consortia didn't have.

Now that the Blackwater Consortium was at its peak, it was not surprising that it could perform so well after entering God's Domain aggressively.

While Shi Feng was resting on the top of the steps, Aqua Rose had already urged him.

"Guild Leader, not long ago, the Blackwater Merchant Firm under the Blackwater Guild and the All-Under-Heaven Merchant Firm under the Tianzang Guild began to forcibly lower prices, and even launched two new products with very strong competitiveness, one is the Steel Forged Armor Plating, and the other is the Mana Concoction. Although they don't sell much at the moment, many customers of the Candlelight Firm have gone to these two major merchant firms to buy things." Aqua Rose said worriedly, "Should we also lower the prices of our products first? After all, we have more advanced lifestyle players than these two major merchant firms, and the cost of producing conventional goods is lower than theirs."

In just two days, Aqua Rose was speechless at the Blackwater Consortium.

Their methods came one after another, doing many things regardless of cost, completely crushing the Zero Wing Guild. Now they have started to attack the Candlelight Firm. If the guild's funds are not guaranteed, they will be played to death by the Blackwater Consortium sooner or later if they want to confront the Blackwater Consortium.

It has to be said that a guild with capital is awesome, and a guild with both capital and strength is even more awesome.

Even armor plating and potions can be created by themselves. This is something that even the current advanced lifestyle players of the Candlelight Firm cannot do.

The Steel Forged Armor Plating is much more powerful than the Basic Reinforced Armor Plating. The increase in armor alone is comparable to the Intermediate Magic Energy Armor Plating, with a full 180 points of defense. As for the increase in basic attributes, it is similar to the Basic Reinforced Armor Plating, but there is one place where the Basic Reinforced Armor Plating cannot compare.

Damage Reduction!

As long as a Steel Forged Armor Plating is equipped, the damage taken by the player can be reduced by 1%. A maximum of three pieces can be equipped, which is a 3% reduction in damage.

It seems that 3% damage is not much, but the effect will be very good when dealing with Bosses. You must know that the damage reduction of an MT's ordinary passive skill is generally only 5%, and the MT's passive damage reduction skills on the market are very rare and precious. Any random one costs more than ten gold, and you still can't buy it. The major guilds and studios keep them for themselves, because skills are different from weapons and equipment. They don't become obsolete. Even if you level up to level 200, many skills can still be used, unless you can find more advanced skills to replace them, but how easy is that?

As for the Mana Concoction, it is very good and an indispensable potion for magic classes.

Because the Mana Concoction can increase the player's mana limit by 10% for as long as two hours, with no cooldown time, and is also not stackable.

Mana is the second life of magic players, and the effect of increasing the mana limit by 10% is self-evident, especially for healing classes. With 10% more mana, the total amount of healing can be increased by 10%, which can last longer in dungeons.

As soon as the two major weapons came out, nearly half of the Candlelight Firm's customers ran away...

Lowering the prices of common items is nothing to the Candlelight Firm, but these two major weapons are very harmful to the Candlelight Firm. In addition, the Blackwater Merchant Firm and the All-Under-Heaven Merchant Firm have joined forces, and the range of cities covered is much wider than that of the Candlelight Firm, so the increase in market share is even more terrifying.

"Do you know their selling price?" Shi Feng asked calmly.

These two items also appeared in God's Domain in the previous life, but they didn't appear so early, and they were the two major weapons used by the Tianzang Guild to dominate the Star-Moon Kingdom when it rose to power.

He didn't expect them to come out so quickly in this life.

"The price is very cheap. A Steel Forged Armor Plating sells for 1 gold and 50 silver, and a bottle of Mana Concoction costs 12 silver. It is obvious that they want to seize the market, and these are commodities they created themselves. As more and more people learn how to make them, the number of sales will definitely increase." Aqua Rose said.

"So cheap?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be surprised.

He clearly remembered that the prices of these two items were quite expensive in the previous life, and definitely not such a friendly price.
