After Stone Forest Town was devastated, Shi Feng decided to rebuild it as a high-priced holy land for player PK and prepare to promote it to an Intermediate Town. He faced angry members demanding refunds while reviewing construction plans in White River City.

• Shi Feng arranged to meet Heaven's Secrets Pavilion at Candlelight Trading Firm's headquarters and learned that players were demanding refunds because Stone Forest Town's Arena was closed.

• Shi Feng equipped the Epic Furious Tyrant wristguard and admired its powerful Strength bonuses.
• Shi Feng identified a transportation-focused town blueprint among Lancelot's drops and imagined how it could make Stone Forest Town a popular destination.
• The Association president confirmed the blueprint was Grandmaster-level and quoted a construction cost of approximately 30,000 Gold.
• Shi Feng furrowed his brows at the price, which was enough to build a town five times using a master-level blueprint.

As he met with Heavenly Secrets Pavilion representatives, they received news that Stone Forest Town had advanced to an intermediate town.

• Shi Feng sat down as Yuan Tiexin prepared to speak, then received news that Stone Forest Town had advanced to an intermediate town.

He demanded twenty plots in small cities and twenty thousand Gold, using Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to secure locations near Diamondwood-producing maps for Zero Wing’s shipbuilding plans.

• Yuan Tiexin learned that Stone Forest Town had become an intermediate town and congratulated Shi Feng, recognizing how much stronger Zero Wing had become.
• Yuan Tiexin offered five prime plots in major cities in exchange for a Magic Tower design, but Shi Feng refused.
• Shi Feng requested twenty plots in small cities across eleven kingdoms and two empires, and Yuan Tiexin asked whether that was all he wanted.
• Shi Feng added a construction fee of twenty thousand Gold to the trade.
• Shi Feng planned to use the plots to store Diamondwood harvested near the cities, since the rare timber was valuable for building ships and difficult to transport.

Shi Feng struck a deal with Yuan Tiexin to build a Magic Tower in Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Ice Crystal Town in exchange for twenty plots and 20,000 gold. Meanwhile, Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix arrived in prosperous White River City, and Shi Feng prepared to examine a transport carriage design.

• Shi Feng agreed to build a Magic Tower in Ice Crystal Town within two days after Heavenly Secrets Pavilion provided twenty plots of land and 20,000 gold.
• Shi Feng realized Ice Crystal Town’s location beside the Sunset Mountain Range could make it more valuable than Stone Forest Town.
• Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix saw White River City’s thriving trade and high-level players, then Feng Qianyu spotted Yuan Tiexin entering the Teleportation Hall.
• Shi Feng summoned Melancholy Smile to discuss the transport carriage design dropped by Lancelot.

Shi Feng had Candlelight Trading Firm’s advanced forgers and engineers begin work on an Advanced Transport Carriage blueprint, then countered Blackwater and World’s Light Stone price cuts by lowering Candlelight’s price and making Stamina Secret Potions its main product. The potions went on sale at a new counter, drawing a crowd of curious players.

• Shi Feng showed the Advanced Transport Carriage blueprint to Candlelight’s advanced forgers and engineers and told them to start crafting components while he sought Green Ebony Wood.
• Shi Feng asked Melancholy Smile about Blackwater and World, and she reported that their firms had cut Light Stone prices to 30 Copper apiece.
• Shi Feng ordered Candlelight to sell Light Stones for 25 Copper each and make Stamina Secret Potions its main product.
• Melancholy Smile set up a dedicated Stamina Secret Potion counter, attracting a crowd of players who were impressed that the potion restored stamina.

Players flocked to Candlelight Trading Firm after Zero Wing began preselling the Stamina Secret Potion at a low price, and Feng Qianyu confirmed the Dark Arena competition’s schedule to Shi Feng. She also asked to borrow ten people from Zero Wing, leaving her request unresolved.

• Feng Qianyu asked to borrow ten people from Zero Wing.

Feng Qianyu asked Shi Feng to lend ten Zero Wing experts to defend an ancient tower during the struggle for Thunderclap Island, offering a large reward in Magic Crystals. After learning that she held more than twenty passes for the island, Shi Feng appeared interested in joining the competition.

• Feng Qianyu offered Shi Feng 5,000 Magic Crystals if ten Zero Wing members helped defend an ancient tower on Thunderclap Island, with compensation guaranteed even if they failed.
• Feng Qianyu explained that the tower defense would support her forces as they competed to occupy Thunderclap Island's monster gathering grounds.
• Shi Feng recalled that Thunderclap Island was a safe haven in the Sea of Death and that superpowers would eventually share control of it.
• Feng Qianyu explained that passes dropped by sea monster Bosses allowed groups of ten to enter Thunderclap Island during its monthly struggle for authority.
• Shi Feng asked how many passes Feng Qianyu had, and she revealed that she possessed more than twenty and asked whether he wanted a share.

Shi Feng negotiated with Feng Qianyu to help Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion secure monster gathering grounds on Thunderclap Island. He raised his offer from defending two ancient towers to having Zero Wing take a gathering ground, leaving Feng Qianyu to consider an ambitious deal backed by a compensation contract.

• Shi Feng offered to defend two ancient towers with twenty slots in exchange for twenty thousand Magic Crystals and a temporary teleportation point.
• Feng Qianyu explained that she had already promised one of the two teleportation points from a gathering ground to Firmament Guild, whose naval strength had helped her obtain passes.
• Shi Feng learned the Thunderclap Island battle would begin in seven days, with six days available for preparation.
• Shi Feng proposed taking sixty slots and having Zero Wing capture a gathering ground if Feng Qianyu's side held three ancient towers, in return for one hundred thousand Magic Crystals or equivalent land and a teleportation point.
• Feng Qianyu and Azure Phoenix doubted Zero Wing could capture a gathering ground with sixty people, so Shi Feng offered a contract promising one hundred thousand Magic Crystals in compensation if Zero Wing failed.

Feng Qianyu accepted Shi Feng’s risky contract to let Zero Wing capture a monster gathering ground, while Shi Feng assembled a twenty-person team to improve Zero Wing’s combat strength. The team reached Ghost Forest Town and found it occupied by well-equipped independent players who watched them with killing intent.

• Feng Qianyu signed a contract promising Zero Wing one hundred thousand Magic Crystals and a temporary Guild teleportation point if it occupied a monster gathering ground.
• Feng Qianyu told Azure Phoenix she had accepted partly because Zero Wing would share the risk and she wanted to learn why Shi Feng was so confident.
• Water Rose and Bai Qingxue questioned the danger of competing against superpowers, and Shi Feng said he would take a twenty-person team somewhere to improve their strength.
• Shi Feng led ten Asura Team members and others from Bai Qingxue’s side and Half-Summer Allure through White River City to Ghost Forest Town.
• Shi Feng’s team found the border town crowded with high-level, well-equipped independent players who stared at them with killing intent.

Shi Feng led his group to Ghostcry Ridge after encountering the powerful Midnight Tea Party, whose members included the legendary Unending Faint Trace. At the ridge’s entrance, Midnight Tea Party discovered fresh hoofprints and realized Shi Feng’s group had reached the dangerous area ahead of them.

• Shi Feng recognized the twenty-person independent team as the renowned Midnight Tea Party and spotted Unending Faint Trace among its members.
• Shi Feng prepared his group with supplies, then led them to Ghostcry Ridge along a route that avoided monsters.
• At the ridge’s entrance, Shi Feng warned his companions that even ordinary Level 60 monsters fought at the Trial Tower’s third-floor standard and used a Group Stealth Scroll on them.
• Midnight Tea Party arrived at Ghostcry Ridge and discussed how Beast King's Breath had helped them avoid monsters on the way.
• A Ranger from Midnight Tea Party spotted fresh hoofprints at the mountain path, and the team wondered how Shi Feng’s group could have arrived before them.

Midnight Tea Party entered Ghostcry Ridge after finding tracks and a battlefield of slain ogres, while Shi Feng’s group fought waves of trolls to obtain Azure Crow Wood. The battle worsened when three Lord-ranked trolls appeared.

• Clear Breeze Brewing Wine sent Underworld Wanderer to examine the tracks, then led Midnight Tea Party into Ghostcry Ridge on foot.
• Midnight Tea Party found hundreds of dead ogres and concluded that the earlier travelers had killed an ambush before heading toward the Fallen Ark.
• Shi Feng’s group fought troll troops while Kele tanked a troll chieftain and Turtledove and Ye Wumian tried to draw off the Berserkers.
• Shi Feng explained that chieftain-ranked trolls had a better chance of dropping Azure Crow Wood, so he waited for the chieftain to summon more companions.
• Low-Key North Wind spotted three newly arrived Lord-ranked trolls.

Shi Feng and Zero Wing fought the Troll Chieftain and three Level 62 Petrified Trolls, whose coordinated attacks nearly overwhelmed Kele. Shi Feng knocked the trolls back with Cycle of Ice enhanced by Sword Trajectory, while the watching Midnight Tea Party recognized his technique and watched as he prepared to take on two Petrified Trolls himself.

• Three Level 62 Petrified Trolls appeared and joined the Troll Chieftain in attacking Kele.
• Kele used Shield Wall and Last Stand to survive the trolls’ coordinated blows, but fell below 10,000 HP.
