Upon returning to White River City, Shi Feng discovered that the number of players teleporting into the city had increased, particularly the members of other Guilds .
All around, he could see Guild players . Moreover, they were extraordinarily high-leveled, with the lowest being Level 39 and the team leaders being Level 40 experts at the very least .
This situation confused Shi Feng slightly . However, he quickly shook the thought out of his head . Right now, hiring NPC managers for the Battle Arena had utmost importance . To avoid attention, he took an advanced horse carriage to the Adventurer's Association .
Shortly after Shi Feng left the Teleportation Hall, a team of 20 players appeared inside . These players each wore an emblem shaped like a crimson flame . The lowest leveled player among them was Level 40 . The equipment they wore also radiated the glowing effects unique to Dark-Gold Equipment .
The white-haired man standing at the head of the group was even a Level 41 Guardian Knight, whose appearance suggested that he had experienced the vicissitudes of life . The man carried a diamond-shaped shield with a dragon printed on it slung on his back and a blood-red longsword inserted inside the shield . Despite this longsword clearly being a one-handed sword, the width of its guard was wider than the man's shoulders, while the length of its hilt matched a two-handed sword's . Combined with the blade, the sword was nearly as tall as he was .
Seen from afar, the man appeared to wield a bloody cross . As he stood in the spacious Teleportation Hall, he was extremely conspicuous .
Yet, despite the eye-catching composition of this team of 20, everyone who saw this team would almost immediately shift their gazes away, not daring to take a second look .
The reason for such a reaction was these players' emblem, which indicated they belonged to the Dark Night Empire's veteran super-first-rate Guild, Crimson Emperor . Crimson Emperor was also the ruler of the Dark Night Empire; no Guild in the entire empire dared to make an enemy of it .
The Guardian Knight leading the team was even head and shoulders above his team members . He was Crimson Emperor's top five Guardian Knight, Cuttlefish, also known as the Iron Wall, and someone who had witnessed Crimson Emperor's gradual growth from an ordinary Guild into the super-first-rate Guild it was today .
At this time, a middle-aged man on the team looked towards the leading Guardian Knight and asked, "Uncle Cuttlefish, we were in the middle of raiding a Hell Mode large-scale Team Dungeon . Why did you suddenly call us to come all the way over here?"
"I've also just received a notice about this from the Guild . It seems that some ancient ruins were found at the Twin Towers Kingdom . Currently, all Guilds that have received news about it have already dispatched teams . Crimson Emperor naturally cannot let this opportunity pass, either," Cuttlefish replied . Although he was already an old man in his 60s, his voice was just like a young man's, filled with energy .
"Ancient ruins?" An elegant and slim female Elementalist asked curiously, "Is there something special about those ruins? Is there really a need for us main force members to take action as well?"
"That's right . The ancient ruins discovered are like a huge maze . It is massive inside; however, only teams of 20 are allowed . After entering, teams are immediately teleported to an area with monsters that have a chance of dropping a kind of slate fragment . Those who complete a set can exchange for a Mount inside the maze . Based on what we know so far, there are even Mysterious-Iron Mounts available for exchange . Moreover, this was only in the outer area . Currently, the various Guilds are frantically fighting over the monsters inside . It is very difficult to enter the ancient ruins . The requirement for personal strength is extremely high . For efficiency's sake, the Guild Leader is sending us to pioneer the way," Cuttlefish explained .
Everyone else on the team immediately gaped in shock upon hearing this .
The importance of Mounts to a Guild went without saying . Just the number of Bronze Mounts Crimson Emperor obtained was not even enough for the Guild's internal experts, much less Mysterious-Iron Mounts . Yet, now, they could obtain Mysterious-Iron Mounts just by grinding in the outer area of some ancient ruins . Naturally, the upper echelons would freak out over this opportunity .
"However, before we head to the ruins, we need to establish a stronghold in White River City . So, Poisoned, you'll be responsible for visiting Zero Wing's Residence and negotiating with them . Based on our investigations, Zero Wing has purchased the several plots of Land around the teleportation house . Tell them that Crimson Emperor is interested in purchasing one . As for everyone else, split up and purchase some potions and scrolls," Cuttlefish instructed .
"Uncle Cuttlefish, Zero Wing is just an upstart Guild . Is there a need for Poisoned to make a special trip there? We are Crimson Emperor . If we want to buy a worthless plot of Land, won't it be a done deal so long as we say the word?" a Level 40 Assassin asked in a somewhat displeased tone .
Crimson Emperor was a veteran super-first-rate Guild . Nobody in the virtual gaming world did not know about it . The various Guilds in the Dark Night Empire also feared it greatly . Now, their Guild simply wanted to purchase a worthless plot of Land, yet they, members of Crimson Emperor's main force, were actually sent to handle the negotiations . This was making a mountain out of a molehill .
"If things could really be settled with just a word, I wouldn't have Poisoned head over, either . " Cuttlefish could not help but smile bitterly . "Alright, enough . Poisoned, you head over and negotiate with Zero Wing . Make sure to pay attention to your attitude when negotiating with them . If they really won't sell, then there's no need to force the matter . God's Domain is unlike any other virtual reality game that has existed in the past . I believe that you guys have felt it as well . The waters in this game are much deeper than they appear to be . There is naturally a reason for Zero Wing being able to become Star-Moon Kingdom's number one Guild . "
The female Elementalist named Poisoned Wine silently nodded her head . Inwardly, though, she, too, felt that Cuttlefish was making too much of Zero Wing .

Inside the Adventurer's Association…
Shi Feng directly switched to his Spirit Slayer title and walked up to the front counter . Upon seeing Shi Feng, the blond receptionist with green eyes immediately received him with great respect .
"Lord Spirit Slayer, how may I be of service to you today?" the NPC receptionist asked respectfully .
"I wish to hire some advanced managers," Shi Feng replied .
"Alright, then . Please follow me to the VIP room on the second floor . We'll bring the related documents over to you right away . " The NPC receptionist bowed before leading Shi Feng up to the second floor .
This scene immediately stupefied the players who had come to the establishment to receive quests .
"Who is that person? He actually got the receptionist beauty to escort him . Even a Viscount of the city doesn't get to enjoy such treatment!"
"That person is surely a top-tier expert . It would be great if I could get to know him . "
The players inside the main hall watched Shi Feng enviously as he walked upstairs .
Shortly after Shi Feng arrived at the VIP room on the second floor, the NPC receptionist handed a file to him .
The four-star treatment really is fantastic! After taking just a glance at the first page of the file, Shi Feng was shocked .
In God's Domain, players who wanted to hire advanced NPCs could do so only through the Adventurer's Association . However, there were differences between advanced NPCs, with some possessing higher intelligence and some lower . The higher the intelligence an NPC possessed, the more human-like they would be . NPC managers with higher intelligence would be able to manage their tasks more effectively . Some NPCs even possessed management skills that were superior to players' . They were also more professional .
Take Anna for example . Her intelligence was truly extreme . She could easily manage the entire Starstreak Trading Firm all by herself . However, NPC managers on Anna's level could be encountered only with luck . Shi Feng had chanced upon Anna due entirely to a quest . Normally, encountering such an NPC was impossible .
Generally, NPCs with more than 50 Wisdom could already serve as considerably good managers, while NPCs whose Wisdom reached 60 points were quite remarkable already . As for NPCs with 70 Wisdom, only Tier 2 Mages could achieve that standard .
In the past, among the managers Shi Feng had met, even the one with the highest Wisdom had only 73 points in the Attribute . Moreover, that NPC had already been considerably advanced in age . Even so, Shi Feng had been quite excited when he found that old man . Back then, the old man had been able to manage an Auction House single-handedly with perfect order .
Now, however, among the 30 NPCs listed on the first page, Shi Feng could see more than ten with over 60 Wisdom . Among them, there was even one with 71 Wisdom—and this was only the first page . The file the NPC receptionist had handed him had over a hundred pages .
