• Shi Feng visited White River City's City Hall to meet the Governor and pursue a connection between the NPC Auction House and a player-built Auction House.

Shi Feng asked City Governor Whiteman for permission to connect White River City's Auction House with Stone Forest Town's, hoping to speed up the development of Zero Wing's Guild town. Whiteman approved the plan and gave Shi Feng the Pseudo-Legendary Quest "Road to Prosperity."

• Shi Feng entered Whiteman's study, a privilege reserved for players who controlled their city's Auction House.
• Shi Feng explained that connecting Auction Houses could help Guild towns advance and make it easier for players to develop on dangerous neutral maps.
• Whiteman warned Shi Feng that linking the Auction House would be difficult and could cost him dearly if he failed.
• Shi Feng chose Stone Forest Town as the town to connect to White River City's Auction House.
• Whiteman granted Shi Feng the right to proceed and gave him the Pseudo-Legendary Quest "Road to Prosperity."

Shi Feng learned that connecting the White River City and Stone Forest Town Auction Houses required a Sub-Legendary quest, and he planned to pursue a Heroic-level Suppression Quest against the Lord of Firefall. When Star Ring attacked Zero Wing by poaching members and undercutting its sales, Shi Feng ordered a counterattack in the Dark Night Empire.

• Shi Feng received the Road to Prosperity quest, which offered a top-tier building blueprint or a Gold-ranked Town Promotion Order for success.
• Shi Feng learned that connecting the Auction Houses required one hundred units of Seven Luminaries Crystal and completion of a Heroic-level Suppression Quest.

• Water Rose warned Shi Feng that Zero Wing could raise only about 35,000 Gold for a price war, but Shi Feng said it would be enough and told her to alert Melancholy Smile and Orchid.

• Players learned that Star Ring was poaching Zero Wing members and squeezing Candlelight Trading Firm through higher material purchase prices and lower selling prices.
• Yiluo Fei told Yan Tianxing that Star Ring had become a senior member of the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce and was pushing to expel Zero Wing; Yan Tianxing decided to return to the Black Dragon Empire.
• Yuan Tiexin informed Shi Feng that the senior alliance meeting had expelled Zero Wing and canceled its transactions with the Chamber, though the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had voted against the decision.
• Melancholy Smile reported that the Stamina Gems and Stamina Secret Potions were ready in Candlelight stores, and Shi Feng ordered the operation to begin.

Zero Wing began an economic contest with Star Ring in the Dark Night Empire, but Star Ring’s ban kept players away from Candlelight Trading Firm. Shi Feng responded by making access to Zero Wing’s sought-after stamina products conditional on trading unique materials.

• Melancholy Smile and Orchid announced that Zero Wing would buy the Dark Night Empire’s unique materials at high prices and sell common goods cheaply.

• Shi Feng told Melancholy Smile to sell Stamina Secret Potions only in exchange for unique materials and require bidders for Stamina Gems to sell a Gold Coin’s worth of those materials to Zero Wing.

Melancholy Smile opened Candlelight Trading Firm counters in Night City to sell Stamina Secret Potions and auction Stamina Gems, triggering a frenzy among players across the Dark Night Empire. The demand drove up prices for the empire’s unique materials and disrupted Night City’s market despite Star Ring’s efforts to contain Zero Wing.

• Melancholy Smile opened counters at Candlelight Trading Firm for Stamina Secret Potions and Stamina Gems, with bids requiring Dark Night Empire-exclusive materials.
• Independent players crowded the Stamina Secret Potion counter, eager to buy the rare stamina-restoring items.
• Players discovered the Stamina Gems and began contacting friends and competing to obtain them, while news of the sale spread across Night City and the Dark Night Empire.
• Adventure groups and major guilds secretly sent representatives to Candlelight Trading Firm to secure the gems and gain an advantage in exploring neutral maps.
• Demand for the auction’s required materials doubled their prices, and groups stopped selling them, throwing Night City’s market into chaos.
• News of Zero Wing’s Stamina Gem sale reached the upper echelons of various superpowers developing new territories.

Zero Wing used Stamina Gems to draw major powers to Candlelight Trading Firm in Night City and drive up demand for materials unique to the Dark Night Empire, cutting into Star Ring’s revenue. Melancholy Smile revealed that Candlelight would continue auctioning Stamina Gems daily, leaving the powers stunned by Zero Wing’s sustained influence.

• Elder Yi learned that Candlelight Trading Firm was selling Stamina Gems for Dark Night Empire materials and hurried to Night City with Snow Scar and their group.
• Star Ring’s material purchases plummeted, so Lu Xingluo ordered Su Luo to raise the purchase price of materials unique to the Star-Moon Kingdom by fifty percent.
• Major powers flocked to Candlelight Trading Firm, ignored Star Ring’s ban, and bid up the first twenty sets of Stamina Gems to nearly 27,000 Gold worth of materials.
• Mu Cheng and other attendees assumed Zero Wing’s influence would end with the auction, but Melancholy Smile announced another auction the following day and a chance for members to buy a Stamina Gem for 200 Gold.
• Elder Yi and the other powers realized that Zero Wing’s continuing supply of Stamina Gems could shift control of the neutral maps surrounding the Dark Night Empire.

News that the Candlelight Trading Firm would continue selling Stamina Gems stirred the Dark Night Empire's major powers, while Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong discussed Zero Wing's strained position and its possible return to the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce. Yuan Tiexin then contacted Shi Feng to offer the Chamber of Commerce's support.

• The Dark Night Empire's major powers began stockpiling special materials so they could compete for Stamina Gems.

• Zi Qiong suggested that Zero Wing could use Stamina Gems to regain entry to the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce and its trade channels.
• Yuan Tiexin agreed and contacted Shi Feng to deliver the offer.

Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong visited Candlelight Trading Firm to negotiate Zero Wing’s return to the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce, offering permanent membership and valuable shop channels in exchange for large quantities of Stamina Gems. Shi Feng rejected the offer as insufficient and demanded senior membership.

• Star Ring’s half-price sales drove customers and lifestyle players away from Candlelight Trading Firm, worsening Zero Wing’s financial troubles.
• Yuan Tiexin and Zi Qiong entered Candlelight Trading Firm, prompting observers to speculate that the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce wanted Zero Wing’s Stamina Gems and might invite Candlelight back.

• Yuan Tiexin offered Zero Wing permanent membership and ten shop channels in major imperial capitals in exchange for large-scale Stamina Gem sales.
• Shi Feng told Yuan Tiexin the terms were not enough and demanded senior membership in the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce.

Shi Feng offered the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce 40% of Stone Forest Town in exchange for Zero Wing becoming a senior member, arguing that he could establish the town inside the Bottomless Abyss. Yuan Tiexin doubted the proposal would be accepted, so Shi Feng instead asked the Chamber to strip Star Ring of its senior membership.

• Yuan Tiexin told Shi Feng that Zero Wing could not earn senior membership with Stamina Gems or even Zero Wing City.
• Shi Feng offered 40% of Stone Forest Town's shares, prompting Yuan Tiexin to dismiss the offer as unserious.
• Shi Feng said Stone Forest Town could be established inside the Bottomless Abyss, and Yuan Tiexin reconsidered the offer.
• Yuan Tiexin said the Chamber's leaders would not approve the deal, so Shi Feng proposed stripping Star Ring of its senior membership.

Shi Feng negotiated with Yuan Tiexin to have the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce revoke Star Ring Guild's senior membership in exchange for a share of Stone Forest Town if it established itself in the Bottomless Abyss. The deal was signed with a ten-day deadline, and Star Ring soon lost its membership as the news spread throughout God's Domain.

• Shi Feng rejected other benefits and asked Yuan Tiexin to strip Star Ring Guild of its senior membership, accepting the risk of an all-out conflict.
• Yuan Tiexin consulted the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's higher-ups, who asked whether Stone Forest Town could establish itself in the Bottomless Abyss.
• Shi Feng offered the chamber 30% of Stone Forest Town's shares if Star Ring's membership was revoked immediately, or 20% if revocation waited until the town was established.
• The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's guild leader approved the immediate-revocation deal, requiring a ten-day deadline and the War Puppet design blueprint as compensation if Shi Feng failed.
• Shi Feng and Yuan Tiexin signed the contract, and the Heavenly Secrets Chamber of Commerce revoked Star Ring Guild's senior membership less than half an hour later.

Yan Tianxing and Yiluo Fei led FFF through a successful hunt on the Ghost Mist Plains before Lotus urged Yan Tianxing to join Dark Soul. Yiluo Fei then reported that Star Ring had lost its Senior Member status, likely because of Zero Wing.

• Yan Tianxing and Yiluo Fei helped FFF defeat over a hundred Corpse Earth Dragons on the Ghost Mist Plains.
• Lotus appeared before Yan Tianxing and asked him to join Dark Soul, arguing that its resources would help him advance.
• Yan Tianxing refused Lotus's offer and said he still believed Zero Wing could survive.
