Water Rose and Bai Qingxue were left with countless thoughts after hearing Shi Feng's suggestion, feeling both excited and anxious.
"Guild Leader, this method is good. Having these guilds and forces compete for residency slots lets us reap the benefits without lifting a finger. However, some smaller guilds that know they cannot compete may simply give up. Most of the guilds approaching us right now are small guilds. They may be weak individually, but the combined strength of all of them surpasses that of the major guilds," Water Rose promptly pointed out the crux of the issue.

"A twenty-percent discount on the city entry fee probably won't be enough to attract them. After all, small guilds already have few experts, and even fewer capable of opening up the Bottomless Abyss.
