Currently, Shi Feng carefully scoured one of the dark, quiet tombs in Watch Cemetery's core region.
While he explored, Shi Feng had received news from Aqua Rose about Overwhelming Smile withdrawing from the competition over the Watch Cemetery and shifting its focus to several other Level 20 maps with fewer resources. The members of Overwhelming Smile had also begun to keep a low profile.
With the threat of Overwhelming Smile gone, Shi Feng decided to transverse deep into Watch Cemetery's core.
The tomb he currently explored was unique. It was a resting place for royalty. It was also known as a "King's Tomb."
Locating this particular tomb had not been easy. As it had been built to prevent grave robbers from plundering the valuables buried with the dead, this place had been carefully hidden; it had been built inside a cave under a steep cliff. After its construction, the original path used to travel to this place had been destroyed. After several hundred years, vines had covered the cliff, making it even more difficult to notice the cave.
In the past, a skilled Assassin had accidentally discovered this location. Afterward, that Assassin had led a powerful team to the King's Tomb and successfully plundered the treasure inside. After claiming the treasure, he sold the item for over 1,000 Gold, earning everyone's envy Even so, in the God's Domain of that time, the Assassin had still taken a loss when he sold the item.
Why had it been a loss?
Although the item was utterly worthless to an independent player, to Guilds, it was priceless.
Various large Guilds would willingly spend 2,000 or 3,000 Gold, much less 1,000.
The treasure the Assassin had found was a Guild Residence Promotion Order.
All Guild Residences started out as a 1-star Residence when established. If a Guild wished to upgrade it to a 2-star Residence, they needed to meet two requirements. First, a Guild needed a sufficient amount of Guild Popularity; the second thing they needed was a 2-star Guild Residence Promotion Order.
If a Guild Residence reached 2-star status, the Guild could establish certain facilities that were unavailable to a 1-star Residence. More importantly, a Guild Residence's Private Rooms would change.
Guilds could only establish 1-star Private Rooms in a 1-star Residence, whereas 2-star Private Rooms could be established in a 2-star Residence. By resting for 24 hours in a 1-star Private Room, players could store up to 20% of the Double EXP buff. In a 2-star Private Room, however, players could store up to 25% after 24 hours.
In addition, a Guild could establish a Smithy inside a 2-star Residence, allowing members to have their weapons and equipment repaired. Moreover, the repair fees as the Guild's smithy were 10% cheaper than elsewhere. Repair fees were always expensive. Although there was only a 10% difference, players could still save a significant amount of money.
Currently, Zero Wing's Popularity had exceeded 5,000 points; it had met that requirement for the upgrade. Hence, now was the perfect time for Shi Feng to collect the Promotion Order.
Danger awaited any player inside the King's Tomb as traps had been built throughout the crypt. Unfortunately, none of these traps proved to be useful against Shi Feng.
He destroyed every trap he encountered with a single slash.
"This should be it," Shi Feng muttered as he entered a majestic stone room, focusing on the tightly sealed white jade sarcophagus lined with gold that occupied the center of the room. Wetting his lips, he advanced towards the sarcophagus.
