"This is an assessment world, an assessment world recognized by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. Only Star-level adventurers taking the assessment may enter. No other mercenaries are permitted inside. Anyone who dares trespass is challenging the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's regulations. If you want to die, go ahead and enter."
While Shen Fei, Luo Feng, and the others wondered why no powerful experts had entered the World-in-World, they had no idea that a considerable number of experts had gathered outside the villa gates in Thunder World. There were dozens of Domain Lords and five or six World Masters, not to mention Cosmic-level experts. Yet all of them had been stopped by a woman.
Although the stopped World Masters were furious, regrettably, none dared force their way in. These were the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's rules. Not even Immortals dared challenge them, much less World Masters. Even those from the other four great factions, such as Ming Yu from the Virtual Universe Company, did not dare barge in. After all, this was Cosmic Mercenary Alliance territory.
It was precisely because of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's obstruction that Shen Fei and the others had time to excavate Cosmic Crystals. If the experts outside had been allowed in, Cosmic-level treasures would never have been theirs. Cosmic Crystals were useful even to Cosmic-level and Domain Lord-level experts. With World Masters, even peak World Masters, among the entrants, the World-in-World's treasures would definitely have nothing to do with Domain Lords or Cosmic-level experts. They would only be able to mine Cosmic Crystals.
"What's going on?" As the standoff continued, more World Masters arrived. This time, the newcomers were anything but ordinary: Hargrave of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and Jiang Tianchen of Three Axe Mountain. Whether in status or strength, neither could be compared to ordinary World Masters.
