Chapter 1 Watching Over

Looking at the Defensive Puppet Design in his hand, Shi Feng carefully examined it again and took a deep breath.

Defensive Puppets could be said to be the exclusive products of the various super forces and a very few large guilds. Each one was a treasure, a symbol of the guild's foundation, and would not be easily sold. Any sale would cause countless forces to scramble for it.

This was because this thing was a lost ancient technology. It was an item that could not be made without a design. Because the Defensive Puppet involved too many fields, it required professions such as alchemy, forging, and engineering, and the minimum threshold for each profession was Grandmaster level. Only a collection of these Grandmaster-level sub-professions could possibly create it.

The cost of the crafting materials alone was rumored to exceed 2,000 gold coins, which was more expensive than some epic equipment with inferior attributes, not to mention the value after it was made.

The reason it was so expensive was because the Defensive Puppet possessed terrifying combat power. Even if an ordinary level 0 player owned one, they could instantly become a monster-like existence. It was absolutely not a war weapon that could be compared to epic items or legendary fragments. It could be said to be a guild treasure.

In the previous life, first-rate guilds dared to challenge those super forces and survive because of the existence of Defensive Puppets.

Ordinary Defensive Puppets generally possessed Tier 3 combat power, while the Defensive Puppet Design in his hand could create Bronze-rank Defensive Puppets. As long as one was created, it would possess Tier 3 peak combat power. Any player could control this kind of power, and unlike those summoned beasts, which would disappear after a period of time, the created Defensive Puppet would not disappear unless it was destroyed like a war weapon.

Tier 3 peak combat power would not be outdated no matter when it was placed, because many players in God's Domain might not be able to advance to Tier 3 professions, let alone Tier 4 professions. Anyone who could advance to Tier 4 professions was a guest of those first-rate guilds. Super forces wanted to recruit them. As for Tier 5 professions, they were well-known in God's Domain, standing at the pinnacle of existence. Only those Tier 6 God-ranked players could overwhelm them, but such Tier 6 God-ranked experts were rare, and encountering one was as difficult as winning the lottery.

"As expected of a Bronze-rank Defensive Puppet. The material cost alone is over 3,000 gold coins, and the success rate for the forger is only 30%. Whether it can be formed in the end is another matter. No wonder the super forces all treat them as treasures." Shi Feng muttered to himself as he looked at the materials required on the design.

But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, it was Tier 3 peak combat power and could be used permanently. If he could create hundreds of them now, he would be invincible. Controlling these Defensive Puppets did not require a level; players only needed to have good technical skills. This was equivalent to creating a batch of Tier 3 peak monster experts.

"It seems necessary to ask Candlelight Trading Firm to step up its efforts." Shi Feng was extremely envious of the Bronze-rank Defensive Puppet in front of him.

Although the materials for making Bronze-rank Defensive Puppets were rare, apart from the main material, Titan Refined Iron Ingot, it was still quite easy to gather a large quantity. The only problem was that it required Grandmasters from various sub-professions, otherwise, there was no possibility of making it.

If a large number of Bronze-rank Defensive Puppets could be created, whether it was a group battle or defending a city, it would become a powerful boost, because the Defensive Puppet's destruction effect on magic arrays and buildings was doubled, and it was many times stronger than those Tier 3 summoned beasts.

Just as Shi Feng was thinking about how to further improve the level of Candlelight Trading Firm's lifestyle players, a system communication suddenly rang, and it was Bai Qingxue who contacted him.

"Guild Leader, I just received good news. Yi Xiao Du Zang and Lei Jingyang of the Heavenly Burial Guild have broken up. The entire Heavenly Burial Guild has been disbanded, but Yi Xiao Du Zang has taken his confidants and guild members to join the Blackwater Guild. They are now taking people to the Ancient God's Ruins, and it seems they want to provide various resources to the Blackwater Guild through the Ancient God's Ruins," Bai Qingxue said with a smile.

The demise of the Heavenly Burial Guild was expected, but it was disbanded so quickly, which was a bit beyond expectations, making them rush to receive the Heavenly Burial Guild's shops in various cities, and many were taken away by other guilds.

However, the sudden disbandment of Heavenly Burial also saved Zero Wing Guild a lot of trouble, at least they didn't have to clean up and acquire the Heavenly Burial Guild's shops in Star-Moon Kingdom through a price war, and they didn't have to send a large army to occupy the Heavenly Burial Guild's towns.

"Giving up the development of Star-Moon Kingdom and preparing to devote all your efforts to the Ancient God's Ruins' Ancient City?" Shi Feng couldn't help but smile faintly, and asked Bai Qingxue in the video, "How is your manpower organized?"

"According to your request, I contacted them individually and asked them to gather secretly in Zero Wing City. There are still dozens of people missing," Bai Qingxue said.

"Okay, let them gather at the Candlelight Trading Firm in Zero Wing City. I'll rush back immediately. It's time to give Beast Emperor and Yi Xiao Du Zang some surprises," Shi Feng nodded, then hung up the communication.

Bai Qingxue was confused at this time, not understanding what Shi Feng was going to do by gathering 1,500 guild experts, but she still notified the arriving experts one by one to gather at the Candlelight Trading Firm in Zero Wing City.

On the other side, Shi Feng directly spent 3,000 gold coins to allow the appearing NPC to build a guild residence in the Lost Town, and at the same time hired one hundred level 150 Tier 2 NPC guards and one thousand level 150 Tier 1 NPC guards to guard around the Lost Town, so there would be no problem dealing with the surrounding monster attacks in a short time.

Then he took out the guild recall scroll and returned to the Zero Wing City guild residence.

After the earth-shattering battle outside Shilin Town, the number of players coming to Zero Wing City every day has skyrocketed, directly exceeding four million, so the pure income of about 22,000 gold coins per day for entering the city can be said to be a rhythm of counting money until your hands are soft.

Previously, because of the reward with the Heavenly Burial Guild, a lot of money was spent, but now there is no such cost, and it is more than enough to simply maintain the expanding guild, not to mention the income from Shilin Town and Candlelight Trading Firm.

Just after deducting guild expansion, various consumption, guild benefits, etc., Zero Wing Guild can save 15,000 gold coins a day. Any first-rate guild would be jealous of this income, because it is not easy for them to keep the huge guild running, and their guild benefits are not as good as Zero Wing. Calculating this way, they would be happy to death if they could save one or two thousand gold coins a day.

It is said that no first-rate guild is richer than Zero Wing.

Returning to the Zero Wing residence, Shi Feng directly took out the team副本 (fùběn - instance dungeon) materials he had harvested during this period from the guild warehouse, as well as the materials he had traded with various first-rate guilds, and then began to make Saint's Hand.

After making two sets in a row, seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Feng directly took out the remaining source of elements from his backpack and integrated it into the Saint's Hand magic array in one breath. Suddenly, the two sets of magic scrolls also began to transform. From the original intermediate magic array, the power that exuded was stronger than the advanced magic array. Then Shi Feng put away the magic scrolls and rushed directly to the Candlelight Trading Firm.

Arriving at the Candlelight Trading Firm in Zero Wing City, Bai Qingxue and others had been waiting for a long time. The entire rest hall on the second floor was full of players, all of whom were curious. What did Vice Guild Leader Bai Qingxue call them here for?

However, when Shi Feng walked in disguised as Hei Yan, the entire rest hall suddenly became silent, and everyone stared at Shi Feng, with unspeakable awe and admiration in their eyes.

"Guild Leader?"

"Why is the Guild Leader here? Could it be that the Guild Leader meant to summon us this time?"

Everyone couldn't help but talk about the appearance of Shi Feng, their expressions excited.

"I think you should have heard before that the brothers stationed in the Ancient God's Ruins were besieged and killed by demons and evil beasts. Even the Beast Emperor, who controlled the demons and evil beasts, announced that Zero Wing Guild members are not allowed to enter the Ancient God's Ruins. Anyone who is seen will be killed without mercy."

"Although that is not our guild's territory, I think we should show something, so I called you over to prepare a surprise for the Beast Emperor and the others, and destroy all the evil beasts and demons near the Ancient God's Ruins! Let the major forces watching us know that our Zero Wing Guild is not easy to bully!"

As Shi Feng finished speaking, the audience was silent for a moment, and took a breath of cold air. Even Bai Qingxue and Aqua Rose on the side looked at Shi Feng in disbelief, feeling that Shi Feng was crazy.

Destroy all the demons and evil beasts near the Ancient God's Ruins?

How could this kind of thing be possible?
