Chapter 1538 Zero Wing in the Spotlight

As Gods Domains system update began, players were forcefully logged out of the game.

When the system update began, night had already arrived in Gods Domain. This meant that it was currently daytime in the real world. Hence, the system update did not particularly affect the working class players. On the contrary, they were excited.

Meanwhile, inside one of the White Tiger Dojos secret training rooms, the lid of a virtual gaming cabin abruptly opened. A man with a stalwart body then climbed out of the cabin. As he left his cabin, he was greeted by the sight of a white-clad, middle-aged man on a sofa before him. Despite the lack of movement, the middle-aged man projected a natural dignity and power.

This middle-aged man was none other than Jiang Tianyuan, one of the White Tiger Dojos Branch Hall Masters.

Hall Master, why are you here? the stalwart man asked curiously when he saw Jiang Tianyuan.

For some, unknown reason, the main branch is placing more focus on Gods Domain, hoping that the various branch dojos will produce results. Tian Ji, youve played Gods Domain for a considerable amount of time now. Tell me about your situation in the game, Jiang Tianyuan calmly demanded as he sipped his tea.

Currently, Im developing smoothly in the Purple Thorns Kingdom. Ive already established a Guild and annexed several others. Weve also taken ownership of over ten Shops in NPC cities that have player populations exceeding 500,000, Tian Ji replied. Only, my Guilds foundation is shakey. With our current number of experts, we have no way to contend with the various large Guilds. I will need more time before we can do so.

Havent you hired first-rate Guild experts to train our apprentices? Are those experts not enough? Jiang Tianyuan couldnt help his frown as he listened to this report.

Although we have the help of a first-rate Guild, the first batch of apprentices only began their training a short time ago. Very few have reached the Trial Towers fifth floor thus far. Moreover, with the difference in levels, none of the apprentices can contribute to the Guilds overall combat power yet, Fang Tianji said, smiling bitterly.

He had sorely underestimated Gods Domain. Gods Domain was clearly different from past virtual reality games. Not only was the game extremely realistic, but the complexity of its techniques and combination moves were beyond his expectations. They werent easy to grasp within a short time. Otherwise, the large Guilds with hundreds of thousands of members wouldnt have so few experts.

Although the White Tiger Dojos apprentices had solid foundations, that was all. These foundations merely provided a better starting point than ordinary players and gave the apprentices a higher chance of becoming experts. Only the truly talented apprentices could improve quickly and reach the Trial Towers fifth floor.

However, since they had joined the game so late, they were far behind the mainstream players in levels. Even though the Main God System had made some adjustments, allowing new players to level slightly faster, and they had the help of high-level players, it would be a considerable amount of time before they caught up.

How about this? Visit the Big Dipper Dojo personally and attempt to persuade them again. We can renegotiate on the conditions, Jiang Tianyuan said after giving the matter some thought.

Initially, Jiang Tianyuan had asked for Zero Wings help as a passing thought. He hadnt really viewed the matter as important. However, he hadnt expected Zero Wing to be so capable in Gods Domain.

Understood. Ill see to it right away. Fang Tianji nodded.

When Fang Tianji had joined Gods Domain, he hadnt known much about the games internal situation. He had only realized how impressive Zero Wing truly was after fighting in the game for some time. At the very least, the current first-rate Guilds had no chance against Zero Wing. The Guild even had the sacred training ground for experts: Stone Forest Town.

The first-rate Guild they had allied with frequently brought them to Stone Forest Town, and Fang Tianji had to admit that the Battle Arena was amazing. If ordinary players trained there, they would develop far faster than training in the Divine Colosseums Trial tower.

Following which, Fang Tianji made his way to the Big Dipper Dojo.

Meanwhile, in the Greenwater Villa, Shi Feng used his free time to guide the Guilds internal members as they worked on their combat techniques.

Due to Zero Wings growing fame, more people fought to become internal members. Despite the Guilds strict requirements, they were now nurturing over 300 internal members. Even the massive Greenwater Villa felt a little cramped due to so many people living and training in it.

Guild Leader, the weakest of our new recruits can now reach the Trial Towers fourth floor, and quite a few have already reached the fifth floor. Among the various internal members, You Ziping is improving the fastest. Its no wonder why you had such a high opinion of him. He has already reached the fifth floors late stage. I doubt that itll be long before he reaches the sixth floor, Blackie reported as he watched You Ziping and the others, who were currently training in the main hall. Its a pity that we can only recruit a small number of internal members right now. If we can recruit a few more, we could build an army of experts very quickly.

Zero Wing shone like the midday sun in Star-Moon Kingdom. If they could sustain 1,000 internal members, they could quickly train a 1,000-man expert team. Even without relying on the Guilds main force, they could easily raid Team Dungeons. They could also establish another Branch Guild.

First-rate Guilds maintained their status for so long due to the high number and sufficient strength of the experts they nurtured. After joining Gods Domain, these first-rate Guilds could afford to develop in multiple countries at once, competing for resources in multiple locations. In contrast, Zero Wing wasnt strong enough to do so yet.

Im afraid well have to wait for matters on Gentle Snows side to settle down first. However, unless those companies find another interested party, it shouldnt be long before the negotiations conclude. After all, it is costly to maintain a training ground of that size. Shi Fengs head ached over this issue. He had never thought that hed have to endure such a day. Rather than a Guild limiting their training grounds development, their training ground limited Zero Wings development

As Shi Feng discussed the new training ground with Blackie, Liang Jing contacted him.

Head Instructor Shi, a man named Yuan Tiexin is looking for you. Should I have him wait in the reception room? Liang Jing asked.

Yuan Tiexin? Shi Feng was a little confused. I understand. Have him wait in Reception Room One for me. Ill head there now.

Alright. Liang Jing nodded. She then led Yuan Tiexin and his entourage to Reception Room One.

In the Big Dipper Dojos lobby, the arrival of Yuan Tiexins group had caused a small commotion. However, this commotion wasnt due to the crowd recognizing Yuan Tiexin, but because of his two bodyguards.

Both bodyguards wore black suits with a silver shield logo embossed on the left breast. This was none other than the Guardian Groups logo, a world-class bodyguard company.

Moreover, both were 3-star bodyguards. Normally, it should be impossible to find such high-rank bodyguards in Jin Hai City as not even the citys most powerful corporations qualified to hire them, yet these two had come here.

Big Bro Tianji, dont tell me youre really here to speak with that Shi Feng? The last time I came here, his behavior had been incredibly arrogant. He showed the White Tiger Dojo no respect. Is a partnership with him really necessary for a game?

He truly could not understand why Jiang Tianyuan repeatedly sought cooperation from a Gaming Guild. The White Tiger Dojo was one of the countrys top dojos. They could easily convince any Gaming Guild to cooperate with a word, yet Fang Tianji, one of the dojos instructors, had paid a personal visit to negotiate with Zero Wing. It was inconceivable.

Enough! The Hall Master and I have our reasons. Fang Tianjis displeasure grew as he listened to Xie Qiwen. By chance, he noticed Yuan Tiexins group enter a reception room, and shock gripped his heart. Huh? That isthe Secret Pavilions Yuan Tiexin? Why is he here?

After joining Gods Domain, he had investigated the games major powers thoroughly. Naturally, he had memorized the faces of people like Yuan Tiexin, an upper echelon of a transcendental power like the Secret Pavilion. Since the man hadnt changed his appearance in the game, Fang Tianji easily recognized Yuan Tiexin with a glance.
