"I never really have enough EXP. However, I can only leave it for now. Even if I fall back to Level 0, I won't have enough EXP to upgrade the skill," Shi Feng laughed bitterly as he looked at his own level.
Level 21.
His current level was even lower than before he had returned to White River City. However, his combat power was much higher than any ordinary Level 34 player.
Meanwhile, Turtledove and Shadow Sword were completely stupefied right now.
Within minutes, a Level 34 player had fallen to Level 21. Turtledove and Shadow Sword had even wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them. How could a player's level decrease by itself? Although they both eagerly wanted to ask Shi Feng the about his Level, they felt embarrassed to do so. After all, they had yet to join Zero Wing officially. As the leader of a Guild, how could they presume to ask for Shi Feng's secrets?
Although Shi Feng could discern the doubts filling the minds of the two minds beside him, he did not bother to explain himself. This was his secret. If the matter of the Seven Luminaries Ring were revealed, a calamity would definitely befall him in the future.
At this moment, Shi Feng received another system notification.
System: Guild Crusade Quest completed. Zero Wing's Popularity increased by 30,000 points.
System: Congratulations player for completing a Guild Crusade Quest. Rewarding 70 White River City Reputation Points and 5,000,000 EXP.
Suddenly, Shi Feng's level recovered to Level 22.
"Guild Leader, we've secured all of the treasure in Creek Town. Everyone's Reputation had increased beyond 100 points, and we've become nobles. We won't suffer any consequences if we enter the city as Red Names now. Fire Dance and the others have returned to the city to accept their class change quests," Aqua Rose suddenly reported through the team chat.
"Good. The rest of you should return as well. While you're at it, summon all members of Zero Wing to the Teleportation Hall," Shi Feng said, smiling faintly as he watched the current stalemate on the battlefield.
Today was destined to be an extraordinary night. It was also the night when Zero Wing would fully emerge from the shadows.
"I understand. We'll hurry over immediately," Aqua Rose answered without hesitation before disconnecting the call. At this point, Aqua Rose no longer doubted Shi Feng's decisions.
After the call ended, Shi Feng remained sitting on the rooftop, quietly observing the intense battle below.
After another hour had passed, the number of players still alive on the battlefield had dwindled down from the initial 500,000 to less than 100,000. The brutality of the war far exceeded everyone's imaginations.
Throughout this period, other players would slaughter anyone who dared approach the loot from the Mechanical Slayer regardless of who they were.
Even when a Guild had sent hundreds of members charging forward, the result was the same.
In the end, the situation had devolved into one where it became impossible for one side to steal any of the drops without annihilating everyone else.
However, along with the decrease of players, Guilds' advantages began to reveal themselves. Among the tens of thousands of players remaining, a large majority of them were Guild players. Meanwhile, the number of independent players decreased as some independent players had opted to give up and retreat from the battlefield.
