Shortly after Shi Feng had made his announcement, a commotion erupted on the Star-Moon Kingdom's forums .
"What? Zero Wing is selling private houses again?"
"Even when I offered 1,000 Gold, no one was willing to sell their houses . Now that Zero Wing has finally decided to sell more, I have to get one . "
"Stone Forest Town will most likely become even more popular . I've heard that the adventurer teams with private houses have improved considerably since the purchase . These teams have almost cleared out the rare tools sold in Stone Forest Town . "
"Wonderful! Our adventurer wasn't able to attend the previous auction . This time, we'll get our own private house!"
"Players are going to fight over Stone Forest Town's houses . I hadn't expected Zero Wing to activate the Private House Upgrade System . It really makes you wonder how Zero Wing did it . "
"I've looked it up . Currently, Stone Forest Town's private houses are only 1-star . After one upgrade, each house can register another ten players . These ten players can then teleport to and from the house, although it does have a one-day Cooldown . The house's owner can teleport without a Cooldown . "
"This won't do! I need to go borrow some money right away!"
Initially, everyone was overjoyed to hear that Zero Wing had decided to sell more of Stone Forest Town's houses . However, after gaining a clearer understanding of the Private House Upgrade System, many adventurer teams began to look at the houses as potential gold mines .
After the upgrade system activated, these private houses seemed tailor-made for the various adventurer teams . Now, by owning one of these private houses, an adventurer team could explore further and return an entire team to Stone Forest Town at a moment's notice, enjoying the town's various benefits .
Stone Forest Town wasn't the least bit inferior to Red Iron Town, which Heaven's Burial developed with everything it had .
Ever since Heaven's Burial had gained access to Evernight City, it had established Evernight City's teleportation array in a high-resource map not far from Red Iron Town .
Now that a Guild had gained access to Evernight City, it was much easier for players to venture to the city . Players only needed to complete some corresponding quests to gain access themselves . Later, they could travel between Red Iron Town and Evernight City easily . Players would be able to reach high-level and high-resource maps relatively quickly .
The only downside was that, unless one was a member of Heaven's Burial or owned a private house in Red Iron Town, they could only teleport from Evernight City to Red Iron Town, not the other way around .
Even so, Red Iron Town grew steadily . Wandering merchants had already begun to visit the town . Meanwhile, Heaven's Burial's private houses were much cheaper than Stone Forest Town's . This tempted many independent experts and adventurer teams to invest .
As long as they bought a house in Red Iron Town, their development would be reliant on Heaven's Burial .
Furthermore, Heaven's Burial would undoubtedly construct teleportation arrays connected to Evernight City in other towns in the future . Using Evernight City as a waypoint, players could then freely teleport to any of Heaven's Burial's Guild Towns .
This would be very convenient .
Many players considered purchasing a house in Red Iron Town .
However, after Zero Wing's announcement, the various adventurer teams in Star-Moon Kingdom changed their minds . After all, Stone Forest Town was now far stronger than Red Iron Town .
For a time, even adventuring teams in Star-Moon Kingdom's neighboring kingdoms and empires were tempted as they secretly collected funds .
…
Only two players occupied a secluded bar in the Apocalypse Empire's capital . One was a man, and the other was a woman . The man had a dignified appearance, and although he seemed young and well-groomed, there was a look in his eyes that spoke of a variety of life experiences . He was clearly older than he looked . As for the woman, to put it simply, she was an absolute beauty . She had long, flowing hair that fell to her thin waist, and her every action could easily mesmerize both men and women .
Two glasses of purplish-red wine had been placed before these players . Despite being untouched, Mana constantly gathered around the purplish-red liquid . The liquid also gave off a faint red glow, giving it an attractive appearance . Its aroma could make anyone salivate, tempting them to drink it .
If Shi Feng were present, he'd be shocked to see this wine .
The wine within the two glasses was none other than one of the Apocalypse Empire's Five Great Wines, Tears of Purgatory . Not just anyone could obtain this beverage . It would only be awarded to those who obtained the key to the Purgatory Barrier and cleared it . Although Tears of Purgatory wasn't as effective as Soul Water, it wasn't far off either .
In the past, wine collecting players had even been willing to pay 1,000 Gold to purchase a single bottle .
However, Shi Feng would be more surprised to see the woman at the bar, the Midnight Tea Party's vice commander, Endless Scars .
"Old Ghost Heartless, why did you come looking for me so suddenly?" Endless Scars asked the man looking to be in his thirties across from her . Smiling faintly, she continued, "Or are you here to tell me that your apprentice has lost?"
"Little girl, why do you insist on calling me Old Ghost? Am I really that old?" Heartless Sword rolled his eyes .
"Well? I'm right, aren't I? Zero Wing isn't as simple as you assume . " Endless Scars paid no attention to Heartless Sword's grumbling . "Since your apprentice, Evil Fire, has lost, according to our agreement, I am allowed to invite Black Flame to join our operation, yes?"
"This doesn't count . Ye Feng defeated Evil Fire, not Black Flame," Heartless Sword said, shaking his head .
"Old Ghost, do you really think that your apprentice can defeat Black Flame, Star-Moon Kingdom's publicly-acknowledged, number one expert?" Endless Scars said, chuckling . "Or do you think that one defeat isn't enough?"
Heartless Sword turned pale when he heard Endless Scars's comment . He had seen the battle video himself . The gap between the fighters' strength was incredibly massive . Even if Black Flame weren't as strong as Ye Feng, they couldn't be that different .
"Forget it . I give up . I won't continue to argue with you . I'll agree to your request," Heartless Sword helplessly gave in to Endless Scars's demand . "However, I'm not the only one involved . You'll have to get the others' approval as well . Although, I doubt that they'll agree . "
"You don't have to worry about that . As long as you agree, I can easily convince the others to fall in line," Endless Scars said, smiling . She then finished her Tears of Purgatory before leaving the bar .
…
Meanwhile, in Heaven's Burial's Residence in Star-Moon City, an uproar shook the Guild .
"Damnable Zero Wing! They dare to ruin my good fortune!" Singular Burial cursed as he read the latest statistics report on Red Iron Town .
He could've made a fortune by selling Red Iron Town's private houses . He could then use the money to support the Guild's development . Now, however, Zero Wing had ruined his plans . Initially, he had over 400 interested buyers . Now, less than half remained…
"Guild Leader, should we lower the price a little?" Daybreak Fog suggested .
Currently, they sold the town's houses for between 300 and 400 Gold . If they dropped the price to between 200 and 300 Gold, they should attract more buyers . After all, Stone Forest Town's private houses had already climbed to 1,000 Gold .
"No need! I had intended to let Zero Wing survive for a bit longer, but I've changed my mind! Notify Abandoned Wave immediately! We are going to teach Zero Wing who truly owns Star-Moon Kingdom!"
