Chapter 2682 – Madness-inducing Silverwing City

As the various powers’ and adventurer teams’ Tier 3 experts entered Silverwing City, the relatively empty streets of the city grew crowded .

“Sure enough, the city became much bigger after getting promoted . The density of the ambient Mana also increased by a lot . It’s a pity that the entrance fee is too high . If it were five Silver instead, the neighboring kingdoms’ players would most likely pour in,” Crazed Bull sighed as he looked at the streets teeming with NPCs .

If possible, he really wished to continue his development in Silverwing City . Unfortunately, the entrance fee of ten Silver was simply unaffordable for ordinary Tier 2 experts .

After all, many players would most likely enter Silverwing City multiple times a day since Tier 2 players weren’t as resistant to the foreign energies in Level 100-plus neutral maps as Tier 3 players were . They could survive in Level 100-plus neutral maps for only a few hours per trip . Fortunately, Tier 2 players recovered from these foreign energies very quickly, so they generally could make two or three trips to Level 100-plus neutral maps per day . However, each additional trip meant they had to pay another ten Silver Coins to enter Silverwing City .

Originally, earning money was already a difficult task in the Faux Saint monsters’ territory . Paying an additional 20 or 30 Silver per day would be onerous on Tier 2 players’ finances . After all, Tier 2 players had plenty of other expenditures they needed to cover: training, repair fees, lodgings, food, and beverages . Moreover, if a Tier 2 player wished to reach Tier 3, they needed excellent equipment and powerful Tier 2 Skills and Spells .

In order to earn money, some Tier 2 players would even invest a significant portion of their time grinding for materials in lower-leveled maps, which, in turn, caused their levels to lag .

Currently, only Tier 3 experts could afford Silverwing City’s ten-Silver entrance fee . However, how rare were Tier 3 experts? Not to mention, with the abilities of Tier 3 experts, they had their choice of leveling grounds . They didn’t need to remain in the Orc Empire .

The other Tier 3 experts of Blood Pact bobbed their heads in agreement with Crazed Bull’s words . They felt that Zero Wing was basically chasing away players from Silverwing City . With this, the several Guild Towns established in the Orc Empire would flourish while Zero Wing would have only an empty Guild City .

After conversing for some time, Blood Pact’s members made their way to the Transportation Firm to turn in their completed quests .

However, Crazed Bull and the others were stunned to see the massive Transportation Firm, which could easily fit four sports arenas .

“What’s going on?”

“What did Zero Wing do?”

The current Transportation Firm was on a completely different level than the one before . There was also an unbelievably large number of NPCs entering and leaving the building .

Previously, there would usually be only a few dozen NPCs entering and leaving the building at any time . Now, however, not only had this number increased beyond 200, but many of these NPCs were even nobles or people of neutral races . This was a rare sight .

Before Crazed Bull and the others could react to this situation, several teams of Tier 3 experts walked out of the Transportation Firm one after another, every player on these teams wearing ecstatic looks on their faces . Moreover, every one of these teams had either a luxuriously dressed NPC noble or a neutral NPC following behind them . It was obvious that these teams had picked up a quest commissioned by these NPCs .

“Am I dreaming? Why are there so many quests from NPC nobles and neutral NPCs?” Crazed Bull rubbed his eyes in doubt at the scene before him .

Normally, a quest commissioned by an NPC noble or a neutral NPC would appear in the Transportation Firm only once a day or every few days . Meanwhile, every one of these quests could spark a frenzy among the various top adventurer teams and large Guilds .

The reason for this was the minimum difficulty rating for these quests, which was three-star advanced . Not only could players obtain a large amount of Coins and Contribution Points by completing these quests, but they also had a fixed chance of receiving Level 100-plus, top-tier weapons and equipment or Tier 3 Skill and Spell Books .

Moreover, even if players weren’t lucky and didn’t get any of these bonus items, the monetary reward would be enough for players to purchase a piece of relatively good Level 100-plus equipment for themselves . Hence, many adventurer teams secretly fought over these quests .

Now, however, multiple teams had actually managed to pick up such a quest . Crazed Bull couldn’t believe his eyes .

“Quick! We need to hurry inside and take a look!” Solid Wind barked after snapping out of her daze .

Upon hearing Solid Wind’s words, the other Blood Pact members nodded and charged into the building . They wanted to know what exactly had happened to the Transportation Firm for there to be so many three-star advanced quests .

When Solid Wind and the others entered the Transportation Firm, they were stupefied at the scene before them .

Inside the Transportation Firm’s spacious lobby, long queues of NPC merchants snaked in front of the reception desks . At a glance, these NPCs easily numbered more than 5,000 . Moreover, many of these NPCs were even NPC nobles and neutral NPCs .

The gigantic, translucent quest crystal hovering in the center of the lobby actually displayed numerous three-star advanced quests . The top few entries of the list were even four-star quests, something they had never seen before .

…

Delivery to the Black Dragon Empire’s Border Fortress Frett: Difficulty – four-star . Requirement – Tier 3 . Team must have at least one person that has completed 10 three-star advanced quests and 20 three-star quests . All other members must have completed at least 10 three-star quests . Remuneration – 50 Gold and 3,000 Contribution Points . Additional rewards unknown . Recruiting 50 people .

Delivery to the neutral zone Silent City: Difficulty – four-star . Requirement – Tier 3 . Team must have at least one person that has completed 12 three-star advanced quests . All other members must have completed at least 5 three-star quests . Remuneration – 60 Gold, 2,000 Contribution Points, and an Elf’s Gift (15% chance to obtain a Dark-Gold item of the same level, 25% chance to obtain a Fine-Gold item of the same level . Recruiting 100 people .

…

When the eyes of Solid Wind and the other Blood Pact members landed on the rewards of the four-star quests, they wished they could accept these quests immediately .

Setting aside the additional rewards, just the Coins and Contribution Points these quests awarded were more than enough to make Tier 3 experts like themselves go crazy .

“Bull, log out and contact the commander! Have the commander negotiate with the other adventurer teams! We need to secure these four-star quests before the others do!” Solid Wind said urgently .

It was impossible for an individual adventurer team to take on a four-star quest . At least two adventurer teams’ worth of Tier 3 experts would be needed to challenge a four-star quest . However, if they could complete a four-star quest, they would raise Blood Pact’s overall strength by a small margin .

“Alright, logging out now,” Crazed Bull said as he hurriedly clicked the “Log Out” button .

As for Solid Wind and the others, they promptly contacted the other Blood Pact members outside the city and had them come to the Transportation Firm right away . Their excitement was palpable to the other players around them .

However, none of the surrounding players found the reactions of Blood Pact’s members surprising at all . After all, Blood Pact wasn’t the only group aiming for the four-star quests . The members of other adventurer teams and Guilds that had visited the Transportation Firm earlier had reacted in a similar fashion . They all either notified their superiors about the Transportation Firm or had their other companions rush to the Transportation Firm .

For a time, large numbers of the Tier 2 players camped outside Silverwing City thronged to the city’s main gate with bloodshot eyes . In the blink of an eye, the main gate swarmed with players . If not for everyone fearing the Personal Guards stationed by the gate, they would’ve most likely started a fight to enter the city .

Meanwhile, when the black-clad Summoner from Frost Heaven, who had already entered the city, saw the disturbance at the gate, she was stunned .

“What’s going on?”
