After receiving Shi Feng's confirmation, Blackie gave his report regarding Zero Wing's recent recruitment.
Despite their plans, Overwhelming Smile's appearance did not negatively affect Zero Wing's recruitment. Instead, Overwhelming Smile had made Zero Wing even more popular than before, driving more players to apply to Zero Wing. Some players from other Guilds even withdrew from their respective Guilds to join Zero Wing.
As a result, the entrance of Zero Wing's Guild Residence was crowded with a sea of players.
Those who did not fully understand the situation even thought that Zero Wing had already become White River City's overlord. Though, those who knew the situation silently ridiculed the players rushing to join Zero Wing.
After two days of chaotic recruitment, Zero Wing had grown from around 5,000 members to having over 10,000. If not for Overwhelming Smile's interruption, Zero Wing would have no problems surpassing the 30,000 member threshold.
Unfortunately, many of the players who had been accepted into Zero Wing then defected to Overwhelming Smile almost immediately. By doing so, they could enjoy triple the benefits of the ordinary members of Overwhelming Smile, which was 12 times the treatment normally offered by other Guilds. How could anyone resist such a tempting offer?
_Zero Wing will only suffer if this continues. I need to think of a plan quickly._ Shi Feng frowned as he listened to Blackie's report.
If the situation continued to evolve like this, Overwhelming Smile would have to waste astronomical sums of money. However, Overwhelming Smile's poaching of Zero Wing's members would also increase its prestige, increasing the Guild's strength in White River City.
Others might not know that Overwhelming Smile had Underworld support from the shadows, but Shi Feng knew. In addition to Maple City, Underworld had also taken control of four more cities surrounding White River City. If Zero Wing and Overwhelming Smile went to war in the future, Zero Wing would be surrounded by enemies.
After Blackie finished his report, he hurried back to Zero Wing's Workshop, whereas Shi Feng started working out.
Now that Shi Feng's body had finished absorbing the S-rank Nutrient Fluids, it was the perfect time to improve his physical fitness further.
However, instead of focusing on strength training like before, Shi Feng now focused more on control over his own body. When noon arrived, Shi Feng called for a take-out. After finishing his meal, he dove back into the world of God's Domain.
Shi Feng had not come up with any good ideas to counter Overwhelming Smile's suppression through wealth. The only thing he could think of right now was increasing his strength.
After logging into the game, Shi Feng continued his hunting operation.
Through his previous two-day search, Shi Feng had grasped the general respawn time for the monsters surrounding the Sword Peak Mountain. As for the location with the highest spawn rate, that would be on the Sword Peak Mountain itself.
However, Shi Feng had not climbed the mountain throughout this period. He doubted that the Legacy Trial of one of the Ten Great Saint Legacies would be so easy to clear. Although the Skeleton Giants and Blade Demons were indeed challenging, a Legacy Trial that was supposed to be as difficult as a Legendary Quest should not be so simple.
In Shi Feng's opinion, the true danger of the Origin Sword Domain waited for him on the Sword Peak Mountain.
Hence, Shi Feng had yet to set foot on the mountain. Instead, he had searched for monsters around the foot of the mountain all this time, silently increasing his strength.
