Chapter Summaries

Shi Feng learned that the violet-gold Four-Star Advanced Promotion Token could raise Zero Wing’s standing in the Adventurers’ Association, but he chose to promote the guild immediately rather than wait for more tokens. After paying 50,000 Gold, he began Zero Wing’s promotion to a four-star town-level guild.

• The senior NPC administrator explained that collecting three Four-Star Advanced Promotion Tokens could make a guild city-state-level, while seven could make it kingdom-level.
• Shi Feng considered the benefits and difficulty of raising a guild’s standing, then decided to use his token and promote Zero Wing immediately.
• The senior NPC administrator told Shi Feng that the promotion and residence renovation would cost 60,000 Gold, discounted to 50,000 because he was a Guardian.
• Shi Feng paid the fee using Gold he had earned from Feng Qianyu and Immortal Battle Heart’s settled payments.
• The administrator confirmed the payment, and system announcements sounded to Shi Feng.

Shi Feng chose an installment plan for a Type 024 Air Harbor and arranged for Kele and Half-Summer Allure to level up in Besoro Hills. He then began modifying the Hell Chariot’s power source blueprint with a blank Dark Gold Grade Design Blueprint, leaving the result uncertain as the system analyzed it.

• Shi Feng chose to upgrade the Hell Chariot’s power source rather than its shell and started the system’s blueprint analysis.

• Water Rose ordered the Holy Magic Dragons to attack Ancient Rock City’s defensive magic array.

Water Rose then ordered the dragons to unleash their final strength, and their Breath of Light and Darkness shattered the city's barrier.

• Water Rose sent the three Holy Magic Dragons to strike Ancient Rock City's defensive magic array, rapidly draining its energy.
• Beast Emperor ordered Wind Hunter Soul Chaser to activate the Evil God Temple's offensive magic array, spending 3,000 Contribution Points to fire silver-gray longswords at the dragons.

• Flying Shadow told Water Rose that the wounded dragons could no longer approach the barrier, so Water Rose ordered them to use their final strength.

• Dust Fate inscribed Divine Script and invoked the Evil God, causing the captured players to collapse and a vast spatial rift to appear above the array.

• Dust Fate ordered the evil dragons to destroy the chariots, but their claws barely scratched the chariots’ Titan Iron shells.
• Shi Feng ordered every chariot to target the evil dragons instead of the Dark Witch Tower.
