Chapter 983 – Insane Zero Wing

....
“Long-term entry into the Eternal Realm?” Shi Feng’s words stunned Purgatory Jade momentarily. Then, she excitedly asked, “Have you found a connecting passage?!”

The ability to stay in the Eternal Realm long-term was incredibly tempting to Dragon’s Crown.

Whether it was Zero Wing’s Intermediate Divine Strengthening Scrolls or the Eternal Realm’s Secret Treasures, both had allowed Dragon’s Crown to benefit massively, such as finally killing their homeworld’s previously unkillable Level 245 Bosses. These Bosses had even allowed Dragon’s Crown to obtain plenty of Level 245 weapons and equipment. Unfortunately, due to a lack of powerful secret treasures, Dragon’s Crown couldn’t form a sufficiently strong team to raid Level 245 Taboo Team Dungeons.

If Dragon’s Crown could gain long-term entry into the Eternal Realm, it would have a much easier time obtaining Intermediate Divine Strengthening Scrolls, Secret Treasures, and even Divine Artifacts.

“It’s not exactly a connecting passage,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head. “Although my solution can connect two worlds and let players travel between them, it comes with restrictions similar to your summoning.”

“Similar restrictions? Is there a time limit?” Purgatory Jade grew disappointed at Shi Feng’s answer.

If Shi Feng’s solution only allowed them to travel to the Eternal Realm for a limited duration, it wouldn’t benefit them significantly. At most, they would get another opportunity to trade within a set timeframe.

“Somewhat, but not exactly. Players who use my method to travel between worlds will have their strength eroded by the foreign world’s World Power. Although it isn’t lethal, they will grow weaker over time,” Shi Feng explained. “To get rid of the erosion effect, players simply need to return to their homeworld and rest. Either that, or they can rest in this city!”

Although the Divine Pathstone was heaven-defying, it had a massive flaw: Players using it to travel to a foreign world would be treated as trespassers and receive strong rejection from the foreign world. This rejection would weaken them over time, making it impossible for them to explore the foreign world for long periods.

Fortunately, the Divine Pathstone offered a solution to this problem, granting the town or city it was used in a powerful cleansing effect that helped dissipate World Power. This could be considered a benefit given to the Divine Pathstone’s user. This was also why Shi Feng had chosen to connect with the remnant primordial world.

“It only weakens players?” Purgatory Jade’s eyes brightened at Shi Feng’s explanation.

Dragon’s Crown only sought to obtain secret treasures from the Eternal Realm, so this weakening effect was not a problem. With Dragon’s Crown’s foundations, it could easily establish itself in the Eternal Realm, even if it had to send players in rotation.

Before Purgatory Jade could ask more questions, Kowloon Demon suddenly spoke up.

“Guild Leader Black Flame, what does Dragon Crown need to pay for this access?” Kowloon Demon asked, looking at Shi Feng warily.

The benefits of having near-constant access to the Eternal Realm were massive for Dragon’s Crown. It wasn’t hard to imagine Shi Feng charging an astronomical price for this access.

If Shi Feng’s price touched upon Dragon’s Crown’s foundations, it would become difficult for them to reach an agreement.

“I don’t need Dragon’s Crown to pay anything. Dragon’s Crown only needs to fulfill two of my conditions. Moreover, one of these conditions is highly beneficial for Dragon’s Crown,” Shi Feng said, chuckling as he looked at Kowloon Demon’s wariness. “My first condition is for Dragon’s Crown to lend me some manpower to help me complete a task. My second condition is to set the connection point of the pathway in one of Dragon’s Crown’s super-large-scale Holy Cities accessible by teleportation. Then, I will need you to advertise the pathway in the remnant primordial world and not restrict anyone from traveling between our two worlds.”

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s conditions, Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon couldn’t help but look at Shi Feng in confusion. They couldn’t understand what he was trying to achieve.

Of the two conditions, only the first one made sense. Shi Feng’s second condition was essentially welfare to their homeworld’s players. Although fulfilling this condition would cause Dragon’s Crown to lose many of its advantages, the fact that Dragon’s Crown would gain partial control over the pathway more than made up for this loss. However, it was a different story for Shi Feng. He would lose the initiative to trade with their homeworld’s players and powers by giving everyone free access to the pathway. This would drastically reduce the benefits he could obtain.

“Guild Leader Black Flame, Dragon’s Crown can fulfill both of your conditions,” Purgatory Jade answered after taking a deep breath. “But are you sure you want to do this? The remnant primordial world’s other powers will likely choose to partner with powers other than Zero Wing. Should that happen, the most you’ll get out of them is an entry fee.”

If the remnant primordial world’s various powers could enter the Eternal Realm without restrictions, it went without saying they would make comparisons when choosing powers to partner with. Purgatory Jade more or less knew about Zero Wing’s situation in the Eternal Realm. The Guild was, at best, above average. It definitely wasn’t ranked among the top. Hence, it was likely that the remnant primordial world’s various powers would choose to partner with powers other than Zero Wing. At that time, all Zero Wing could get out of these powers was an entry fee to its city.

“That’s right. The entrance fee is all I want,” Shi Feng said, nodding. “Moreover, once the pathway is established, I will host a monthly auction for this primordial civilization city’s priority entry slots.”

“…” Shi Feng’s response rendered Purgatory Jade speechless. “Guild Leader Black Flame, are you certain of your decision?”

No matter how she thought about it, there was no way Zero Wing could profit more from selling priority entry slots than partnering with the remnant primordial world’s various powers. After all, the biggest hurdle to the cooperation between the Eternal Realm and the remnant primordial world was the lack of a connecting pathway. So long as a pathway existed, the remnant primordial world’s various powers wouldn’t care if they could send a group of players or only one player over; they could still trade with the Eternal Realm’s powers. Even if they needed priority entry into Zero Wing’s city, they only needed to secure one priority slot.

“Mhm. We can sign a God’s Domain Contract right now if you want,” Shi Feng said, nodding firmly. “By the way, when you are advertising the pathway, please mention that Zero Wing’s auction will use God Crystals as the trading currency. The minimum bid for each slot will be one God Crystal. The minimum increment for bids is also one God Crystal. The first auction will only have 10,000 slots.”

A minimum of one God Crystal per slot? And there will even be 10,000 slots? Kowloon Demon stared at Shi Feng in shock.

Even in the remnant primordial world, God Crystals were very rare. They were one of the primary materials to repair Fragmented Legendary items. Yet, Zero Wing intended to sell its city’s priority entry slots for at least one God Crystal each! It even expected to sell 10,000 slots! This was beyond madness!

However, Purgatory Jade and Kowloon Demon didn’t dwell on this matter. Since the pathway belonged to Shi Feng, he could do whatever he wanted. So long as Dragon’s Crown could freely access the Eternal Realm, whether Shi Feng made any profit was none of their business.

…

After establishing a contract with Dragon’s Crown, Shi Feng completed their prior trade agreement, receiving 50 million Undying Souls and 10,000 pieces of Level 235 Taboo Fragmented Legendary Equipment from Purgatory Jade.

When Blackie finally transported the Divine Pathstone to the primordial civilization city, Shi Feng promptly spent 5,000 God Crystals to establish a pathway to the space-time coordinates Purgatory Jade provided. Then, he spent 10 million units of Seven Luminaries Crystal to activate the primordial civilization city’s Teleportation Tower function, using it to link the city with Shadowring Town. When the teleportation link formed, a giant teleportation gate appeared in Shadowring Town’s central plaza, attracting the attention of many players in the town.

“Guild Leader, isn’t the price for the priority entry slots a little too steep?” When Blackie saw the list of city rules and management details Shi Feng had sent him, he couldn’t help rubbing his eyes, wondering if he had read it wrong. “The primordial civilization city has just opened. Although it provides players with a significant leveling advantage, the price of 100 bottles of Life Potion or one God Crystal per slot is… I don’t think many powers can accept such a price…”

When the Tower of the Abyss appeared in Shadowring Town, the town’s priority entry slots had also become incredibly valuable. Even so, the price never reached one God Crystal or 100 bottles of Life Potion. After all, they were only selling priority entry into a city, not selling shops or houses. Even if many powers would like for their members to have easy access to Skeleton Hill, a Level 230 Taboo Map, they weren’t so desperate that they would pay such a steep price for this benefit.

“Don’t worry. It’s not expensive,” Shi Feng said, chuckling at Blackie’s concern.

If the primordial civilization city only offered access to a Level 230 leveling map, its priority entry slots naturally wouldn’t be worth so much. However, it was a different story if the city allowed access to a world that produced Level 245 Taboo Legendary Equipment.

When Blackie saw that he couldn’t persuade Shi Feng, he could only carry out his instructions and publish the details pertaining to Zero Wing’s new city on the Eternal Realm’s official forum.

Shortly after Blackie’s post went live, the entire forum exploded with activity.

“Is Zero Wing insane? One God Crystal for each priority entry slot? Are you sure this isn’t a robbery?”
