Chapter 1560: Competition of Wealth
Chapter 1560 â Competition of Wealth
âTake a look at the Four Towers of Elements?â Aqua Rose gave Shi Feng a confused look.
Although Heavenâs Burial had just placed a bounty on Zero Wing and wouldnât be able to affect the Guildâs development for some time, the consequences would be incredibly severe if they didnât prepare properly. In the best case scenario, the enemy would only weaken the Guild slightly. In the worst case scenario, the Guild would crumble.
Players main goal in joining a Guild was to level quickly and obtain better equipment. Nobody wanted to become prey, spending all of their time avoiding other players.
However, Aqua Rose had no choice but to follow Shi Fengâs orders and trail behind him towards the Four Towers of Elements.
Meanwhile, Star-Moon Kingdomâs official forums were in an uproar.
âSure enough, Heavenâs Burial really took action! What a generous bounty! Heavenâs Burial is actually paying 20 Silver for each normal member! I donât even earn that much in a single day!â
âI know, right? Although it wonât be easy to kill Zero Wingâs core members, itâs a different story for the Guildâs normal and elite members. If I can take advantage of this opportunity, I might earn enough money to get myself a Mount.â
âForming a hunting party! Whoeverâs interested in making some money, contact me quickly!â
âIt seems that Heavenâs Burial is serious this time. I wonder which Guild will rule over Star-Moon Kingdom in the end?â
âIt is definitely going to be Heavenâs Burial. Didnât you see Heavenâs Burialâs background? Now that it has a treasured land like Ancient Rock City, it wonât have any lack of funds.â
âAs expected of the Guild that took down an Orc city. Zero Wing is doomed. Even if Heavenâs Burial does not directly attack, it can easily whittle Zero Wing down until it crumbles.â
Everyone engaged in heated discussions about the bounty Heavenâs Burial placed on Zero Wingâs head. The bounty tempted many powerful players. Meanwhile, the kingdomâs Dark Players immediately set their sights on Zero Wing. Not only could they secure better equipment by killing Zero Wingâs members, but theyâd also earn a significant income by doing so.
Moreover, with so many players targeting Zero Wingâs members, the Guild couldnât direct its anger at a specific group. Hence, they could kill Zero Wingâs members without worry.
Meanwhile, in the Star Allianceâs Guild Residence in White River CityâŠ
âHeavenâs Burial has sure moved quickly, Guild Leader. I wonder how Zero Wing will respond to this. With Ancient Rock Cityâs income, Heavenâs Burial can definitely overwhelm Zero Wing in a battle of attrition,â Purple Eye said as she read the latest report she had received.
The method Heavenâs Burial employed was one of the most troublesome tactics the various large Guilds had to deal with. It was also the method that the various large Guilds avoided using.
Using such a method would require a massive expenditure. Regardless of whether one won or lost the war, theyâd still incur massive losses.
However, Heavenâs Burial did not have to worry about such a problem now.
Once Ancient Rock City opened to the public, Heavenâs Burial would rake in an astronomical number of Coins each day. It wouldnât worry about not outlasting Zero Wing.
âThatâs right. Had Zero Wing agreed to the Secret Pavilionâs acquisition, it wouldâve likely avoided such a perilous situation,â Galaxy Past said, lamenting.
Since the Star Alliance was now one of the Secret Pavilionâs subordinate Guilds, as the Guild Leader, Galaxy Past had learned many of the Secret Pavilionâs internal dealings.
The Secret Pavilionâs offer to Zero Wing even tempted Galaxy Past, yet Zero Wing had rejected the offer without hesitationâŠ
Had Zero Wing accepted the Secret Pavilionâs offer, Heavenâs Burial wouldnât have dared to pull such a stunt. With the Pavilionâs support, Heavenâs Burial would likely burn out long before Zero Wing.
Meanwhile, When Singular burial read the message he had just received in Ancient Rock City, he sneered.
âDaybreak did a magnificent job. I canât wait to see how Zero Wing intends to survive in Star-Moon Kingdom.â Singular Burial was delighted as he read the report Daybreak Fog had sent him.
When Zero Wing had declared that Stone Forest Town would no longer allow entry to merchant players and adventurer teams that visited Red Iron Town, it had caused Heavenâs Burial tremendous losses. Now, he would ensure that Zero Wing would experience the same feeling.
âGuild Leader Singular, you are ruthless. Zero Wing will definitely lose its position as Star-Moon Kingdomâs number one Guild. In the end, it might be forced to leave Star-Moon Kingdom entirely,â Lei Jingyang said, laughing.
âZero Wing only has itself to blame for making an enemy of Heavenâs Burial!â Singular Burial growled. âIt wonât be long before I can eliminate Zero Wing from Star-Moon Kingdom entirely!â
Although it was very costly to place a bounty on every player in Zero Wing, it would be devastating to the Guild.
If Zero Wingâs members had to deal with constant ambushes out in the fields, it would only be a matter of time before they withdrew from the Guild. After all, repeated deaths would impede their progress in Godâs Domain. Similarly, no one would be willing to join the Guild in fear of becoming a target. Not only would Zero Wingâs development stagnate, but it would also have to spend a significant amount of its funding to compensate its Guild membersâ losses.
With a constant drain on Zero Wingâs numbers and funds, Zero Wing would either crumble or be forced out of Star-Moon Kingdom even if heavenâs Burial didnât take any direct action.
While the various large Guilds wondered about how Zero Wing intended to pull itself out of this mess, Shi Feng arrived before one of the Four Towers of Elements.
The Four Towers of Elements occupied the cityâs four corners. Each tower was 100 meters tall, looming like giants as they protected Zero Wing City.
âGuild Leader, a report just came in. Players have begun to ambush many of our members. Based on our initial estimates, weâve already suffered over 4,000 casualtiesâŠâ Aqua Rose frowned as she looked at the report a subordinate had sent.
The Guild would have to play a lot of Coins as compensation with so many casualties. If this situation continued for a long time, not even the profits they earned from the Candlelight Trading Firm would be enough to compensate the Guild members.
Moreover, this was still not the most crucial issue.
The Guildâs prestige was their bigger concern.
âThere sure are a lot of players prioritizing money over their own lives.â Even Shi Feng was a little astonished.
Zero Wingâs recruitment standards were very high. Unless there was an overwhelming difference between the two sidesâ combat power, players would have a very difficult time killing Zero Wing members and would doubtlessly sustain serious damage. And yet after such a short time since Heavenâs Burial announced its bounty, Zero Wing had lost over 4,000 lives. This situation somewhat exceeded Shi Fengâs expectations.
âGuild Leader, what should we do?â Aqua Rose asked.
âSince Heavenâs Burial wants to play, then weâll play,â Shi Feng said, chuckling. âFirst, have our Guild members move in teams from now on. Anyone who refuses will not receive any compensation should they die. Also, announce to the public that anyone who dares to kill Zero Wingâs members will be permanently blacklisted and barred from all of Zero Wingâs towns and cities. In addition, place a bounty on every player in Heavenâs Burial. Not only will this bounty be effective in Star-Moon Kingdom, but it will also be effective in the Orc Empire!â
When the two women heard Shi Fengâs decision, Aqua Rose and Youlan fell silent.
Shi Feng basically wanted to compete with Heavenâs Burial with wealthâŠ
Not only would their Guild suffer tremendous losses by doing so, but if they handled this badly, they could even self-destruct.
âGuild Leader, with our Guildâs current funds, Iâm afraid thatâŠâ Aqua Rose could not help but try to dissuade Shi Feng.
To construct Zero Wing City, develop the Branch Guild in the Black Dragon Empire, and supply their Guild members with Mounts, they spent a massive amount of money each day. Adding yet another significant expenditure would only hamper the Guildâs development.
âDonât worry about our funds. You can only reap the benefits once youâve paid the price. In three hours, weâll open Zero Wing City to the public. Go and make the announcement,â Shi Feng ordered with a shrug. He then walked towards the tower before him.

âThisâŠâ Aqua Rose felt a headache brew when she heard Shi Fengâs commands.
Zero Wing City still lacked much of its infrastructure. To put it simply, the city had very little to attract players right now. Moreover, inviting players into the city now would complicate construction in Zero Wing City. As far as she was concerned, opening the city to the public now wasnât wise.
Unfortunately, since Shi Feng had made his decision, she had no choice but to follow his orders.
Immediately, Aqua Rose made the necessary arrangements and posted Shi Fengâs declaration on the official forums in Zero Wingâs name.
