The Monster is Coming

Chapter 366 A Hundred Flowers Bloom, The Venerable of Destiny (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng's consciousness rapidly scanned the forum information.

Recently, the group activities of pet-focused players have become increasingly prevalent on forums.

Within a week, 23 members of the Divine Artifact Clan were lured to the Emperor's Tomb Mountain area, where they were attacked by players until they were on the verge of death and then turned into controllable pets.

The plan to lure and ambush has not yet shown any flaws in actual use.

Unlike the players in Qi Sheng's eyes, the members of the Divine Artifact Clan are not able to locate their specific positions at any time due to the fact that the clan's higher-ups cannot pinpoint their exact location.

After leaving the Valley of Divine Artifacts, the clansmen entered a state of near-disconnection.

Each member of the artifact race does not specifically return to the race territory to report the situation of each host, which gives players the opportunity to lure and capture them one by one.

At the request of pet-focused players, the God-King's allied forces specially created a follower group for them.

During this period, whenever a player is branded with the Pain Mark, they will go to the Artifact Clan's territory to begin their acting, transforming into the most "suitable" host in the eyes of the Artifact Clan members.

As the number of players who successfully lured the enemy increased.

Many pet-focused players have also seen the benefits of teaming up and have gradually joined the team-up movement.

During this period, a meticulous player who also focused on pet builds created a plugin for pet builds called "All Spirits Contract".

This plugin became a popular download as soon as it was released.

Almost all players who use the pet-based strategy will download and use it.

The above details the existing pet encyclopedia, as well as specific capture locations and capture techniques.

For example, the number 1 pet in the encyclopedia.

【Book Warrior】:
Hunting level: 70-130.

Pet Introduction: A creature created by writing with three matching rules: pen, writing instrument, and writing book. It can be freely edited by consuming sacrificial power to generate any type of life (hunting level remains unchanged).

Location of arrest: Flying Sea Area, Shuyan Domain.

Arrest Techniques: Waiting for the right moment (link to arrest video on the forum).

……

In addition to detailed capture strategies and pet introductions.

The plugin also includes a membership feature.

To become a member, you must participate in at least 5 group activities, and then at least once a month thereafter.

The benefit of becoming a member is that whenever you lure a powerful monster to the vicinity of the "Group Teleportation Array" in the Emperor's Tomb Mountains, other players will come to your aid.

Secondly, this plugin also provides an in-depth analysis of the pet system, and plans the attributes for each pet.

For example, there are 139 attributes, including ocean, flight, fire, darkness, space, and blood types, and more will be added in the future.

It also details the advantages of different "attribute talents" and the environments in which they are suitable for combat.

Secondly, the plugin also has two features that are especially suitable for beginners: pet recommendations and pet pairing recommendations.

For pet recommendations, players only need to enter their preferred combat environment, combat power level, and sacrifice power into this function, and it will recommend 3 suitable pet types based on the player's current situation.

Click to view the detailed introduction and capture plan.

The pet configuration recommendation feature will help players create a complete pet-based team.

Using different pets together can have a complementary effect.

The gradually improving pet-based game ecosystem has attracted many players who were already very interested in pet-based games to join.

Thanks to the "powerful pet capture platform" established by the group, players have the courage to challenge many monsters that they never dared to dream of before.

Riding on this wave of popularity, Qi Sheng also launched a new section in the trading platform: the pet market.

The introduction of this feature has been met with unanimous praise from pet-focused players on the forum.

The biggest challenge with pet farming is the cumbersome trading process.

In addition to prior communication, one of them must travel across space to the agreed location.

Although a 5% transaction fee is not low, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time on transactions in the future.

Most importantly, choosing a pet has become incredibly convenient.

In the old trading model, it wasn't easy to find a suitable pet.

Posting a buy request doesn't guarantee that players who are willing to sell will be able to find it.

Looking at other players' listings for sale, the forum's trading section sees a huge number of new posts every day. Players can only manually flip through pages or rely on keyword searches, making it easy to miss out on pets they like.

The posting-based trading model can only estimate a rough market price.

Prices are not entirely transparent, there are instances of overcharging, and the trading environment is chaotic.

But the situation improved with the advent of the pet market.

The prices of the pets listed above are completely transparent.

Players can also search for specific pet types using keywords.

Once the search is complete, the relevant pets will be listed in the trading house for players to choose from.

Each pet that is listed can be clicked to view its detailed attributes.

For example: hunting level, health strength attribute, spirit strength attribute, etc.

This provides clear indicators for judging the pet trading model.

You can also sort by price to find the lowest price for that type of pet.

This makes it very convenient for pet-focused players to buy or sell pets.

The pet marketplace experienced a surge in transactions as soon as it launched.

Many veteran players are putting their obsolete pets up for sale, while new players are getting an opportunity to upgrade their pets.

However, the newly launched pet market has very chaotic pricing.

There are many instances of low-end pets being priced exorbitantly.

But Qi Sheng didn't care about this problem.

Free markets have the ability to self-regulate; once supply and demand are in balance, prices will tend to become more rational.

The current price discrepancies simply reflect a lack of consensus among market participants.

During this period, many dog-trading players also had the idea of ​​making a comeback, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and their own understanding to make a fortune.

However, Qi Sheng set restrictions in advance this time, allowing only players who had acquired the Soul Control ability to trade in the pet market, while other players were prohibited from participating.

This is done to prevent meaningless stockpiling in the early stages.

Players who genuinely need pets will immediately convert them into production tools that generate sacrificial power after purchasing them, and use them for hunting, dungeons, and other gameplay activities that expand the "faction's pie."

Players who resell pets simply buy them and hoard them, then manipulate the system to increase the value of their pets and profit from other players.

This is a phenomenon that Qi Sheng does not want to see.

He was quite satisfied with the changes brought about by this round of updates.

Many new players improve their combat power by purchasing pets.

While earning transaction taxes, the sacrificial power curve of novice hunters has also been significantly improved.

The emergence of the pet market quickly reversed the popularity of pet-based strategies on forums, once again suppressing the emerging summoning strategy system.

The ease of distribution has also made pet capture a business.

Many players want to capture pets and then list them on the trading market to earn sacrificial power.

The number of pets being replaced and put on the market is still too small to meet the needs of new players recruited in this round.

There are many business opportunities hidden inside.

During this period, some meticulous players compiled a popularity ranking of pet-focused players based on the current pet market situation.

The most popular pet is the Soul Beast.

The lowest price for a single one on the market is over 40, and the exact price depends on the hunting level of the soul beast.

In fact, soul beasts are not uncommon in the Pale Continent. The Soul Return Clan scatters soul beast seeds everywhere, but whether players can encounter them depends entirely on fate.

At present, some players are trying to follow the route that almost resulted in a wipe after the first cohort of hardcore players graduated.

There are traces of soul beasts there, but the exact number of soul beasts is currently unknown.

We are currently in the fundraising stage.

This will also be a route for producing soul beasts in the future.

The second most popular pet is a member of the currently trending Divine Artifact Clan.

The market price of a single member of the Divine Artifact Clan has exceeded 80, with some exceeding one million.

Some pet-focused players are even preparing to imitate the "Spirit Weapon Players" who were very famous on the forum back then, wanting to create their own army of sword spirits by controlling the life spirits.

Like the veteran players in the Honor of Kings video, they unleash a barrage of swords with a wave of their hands.

However, the price of the artifact is too high, and the cost of purchasing it with sacrificial power is too great. At present, no player can afford it.

To build a powerful Blade Spirit array, you need to embark on a grind-heavy journey.

This is destined to be a long and grueling process.

The forums reveal a diverse range of player factions.

Hot posts keep popping up on the forum's homepage, and clicking on any post reveals players' drastically different gaming experiences.

Some players are discussing how to cook delicious food, some are showing off the tools they recently made, some are discussing fishing techniques, some are discussing fighting skills in the Ancient God Arena, some are analyzing speedrun strategies for new dungeons, some are showing off their newly tamed monsters, and some are posting pictures of hunting traps that took them several days to build, with details hidden in every aspect, from the camouflage on the ground to the feedback after triggering.

There are also meticulous players who dissect the information in the library word by word, and the long analysis posts they publish reveal their seriousness about the worldview in every piece of information.

Some players who resold items also shared their auction house results for the day. Although reselling was greatly nerfed after the introduction of the auction mode, some players were still able to profit from the trading house, and the comments were full of emojis asking for help to make money.

There are also adventurous players who travel around, taking pictures of the scenery, such as the sea of ​​clouds at five in the morning or the magnificent rainbow after a rainstorm; every screenshot is as beautiful as a wallpaper.

There are also new players who, with a million questions, post messages seeking help from experienced players.

The player ecosystem has evolved into a lush forest, with unique landscapes growing in every corner.

From initially needing to fake a welfare worker and leverage the popularity of "Darklands" to recruit players to work for him, to now being able to make a fortune every day without doing anything.

The player's efforts brought about a transformation in his life, giving it a new brilliance.

Recalling the tragic situation when our sacrificial power was exhausted and we were out of ammunition and food.

Looking back, Qi Sheng realized that he was already standing in a completely new world.

And he will continue to accompany the development of the player faction.

Witness more players writing their legends in the monster world.

After a moment of reflection, Qi Sheng turned his gaze toward Dream Island.

After a period of hard work, Minghou finally saved up enough start-up capital.

They have begun negotiating with Alan, the head of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, to establish a Destiny Casino on Dream Island, relying on the Gold Coin Merchant Guild's customer traffic to earn rule energy and sacrificial power.

……

Neverland.

The morning light begins to break.

The azure sea stretched out to the horizon, merging with the pale blue sky.

Waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, splashing up fine, silvery foam that was then carried into the air by the sea breeze.

In the distance, several seabirds circled and swooped down, their sharp beaks piercing the water's surface before quickly snatching fish and leaping up, shaking off glistening water droplets as they flapped their wings.

In a corner of this tranquil sea, the pier on Dream Island is bustling with activity.

The wooden pier extends out to sea, and various exotic ships are moored nearby.

Some alien races even built giant cargo ships specifically for trade, to transport resources to Dream Island, and then exchange the gold coins obtained from the sales for resources needed for the development of their tribes, and transport them back to their homeland.

Besides giant cargo ships, there are also mottled small boats used by weaker races at the dock, and even races that rely on sea beasts to transport resources. The sea beasts that dock at the dock are also active sea beasts.

Various modes of transport were densely packed into the berths.

On the shore, staff from the Gold Coin Merchant Guild shouted to the aliens to unload the goods. The heavy wooden crates were carried by the aliens and steadily transported to the dock for unloading, making a dull thud.

The aroma of fish, spiritual plants and fruits, spiritual minerals and crystals... mingled with the salty smell of the sea breeze, permeated the dock.

Several statisticians from the Gold Coin Merchant Guild stood on the shore, spoke with the alien race, opened the boxes to inspect the goods, counted the resources, and then issued gold coin vouchers.

Dream Island is now recognized as a safe zone in the Azure Star Sea.

No force entering Dream Island will provoke trouble.

Even if the two races are enemies, they will never have a direct conflict on the island; at most, they will exchange words.

However, when it comes to trade with the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, many races still try to outsmart each other.

This is especially true for groups that don't know much about the Gold Coin Merchants Association and have only recently joined the partnership.

Take those who had just come into contact with the Rock Shell Clan, for example. The spirit ore that this race transported yesterday was covered with a layer of shiny mineral shell. At first glance, it seemed to be filled with a rich spiritual energy, with a flowing glow. However, after the statistics staff of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild put some of the spirit ore on the interface for sacrificing to the Emperor, they found something was wrong.

They naturally knew the approximate price range for level 2 spirit ore, but the price Emperor Zhao offered was more than a rip-off.

It's practically like recycling scrap.

The problem clearly doesn't lie with Brother Di Zhao.

The statistician, puzzled, tried cracking open the spirit ore to take a look.

Apart from a thin outer shell, the inside is full of dubious mountain rocks.

This is clearly an attempt to exploit the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

The rules of the Gold Coin Merchants Association clearly state that once all resources are tallied on the shore, there will be no second inspection. The Gold Coin Merchants Association will be responsible for any subsequent problems.

Only then would they dare to play tricks like "gold-wrapped stone".

There are also flower fairies who live in the poisonous forest, using illusions to package herbs.

The "Dew Grass" they brought looked crystal clear, with dewdrops rolling on the leaves shimmering with iridescent light. However, the light would quickly dissipate as soon as the plant left the flower demon clan's three-meter radius.

There are many other similar cases.

Such adulteration is undoubtedly a short-sighted approach.

However, most of these groups live on the edges of resource-poor seas, either because the spiritual mineral veins in their territories produce very little, or because they have just experienced tribal wars and their precious resources are almost exhausted.

The decent resources we have are already exhausted.

In their view, the Gold Coin Merchants Guild was a large and powerful organization, and they could probably get away with mixing in counterfeit goods to exchange for survival supplies without anyone noticing.

At least they won't be discovered during the registration phase at the dock. Even if they are discovered once they enter the island, do you think the Gold Coin Merchants Association would break its own rules?

Only small groups would have the idea of ​​exploiting loopholes in the rules.

Large corporations generally consider issues from the perspective of long-term cooperation.

In the eyes of players, this kind of cheating is very naive and simply cannot work.

Although Brother Di Zhao's quotes are stingy, he never cheats. Once you put them on the sacrifice interface, Brother Di Zhao's discerning eyes will see through any falsehoods.

For those races that sell inferior goods, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild will impose a penalty of banning them from trading on the island for three months.

At this time, the coastline is a grand gathering of various ethnic groups.

Once on the island, people of different races can lower their guard and move freely.

Some of the resources they carried could not be converted into gold coins after registration.

For example, living beings brought by certain races.

They are mostly caught by hunting or caught in aquaculture.

For example, the Huitou tribe carries cages containing fluttering birds; the Gold Coin Merchants Association can accept such goods.

They can be slaughtered and listed on the trading house to be sold to players who are skilled chefs.

However, live animals and cooked food have completely different prices.

If a bird is used as food, it can only be sold for 2000 gold coins at most. However, if it is sold as a live animal, its value increases several times over.

The feathered bird sheds its tail feathers once a month, and new feathers grow in its place. The shed feathers are a kind of spiritual material, and each feather can be sold for about 30 gold coins.

Secondly, female finches also lay eggs, which can be used as food.

After hatching, you can get a new feathered sparrow.

Thanks to these subsequent productions, the live animals can be sold at a premium.

The Gold Coin Merchants Association would buy it at the price of ingredients, but the Huitou tribe would not agree to that.

If purchased at the price of live animals, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild would inevitably lose money, since its own players would never buy live cubs for long-term breeding.

The meager yield from aquaculture is less than what you get from hunting.

If the scale of breeding becomes too large, there is also the worry of being suddenly attacked by the descending forces, and all the hard-earned results will become nutrients for the growth of the descending forces.

Players can be resurrected, but the living creatures produced through farming cannot be resurrected.

Players simply won't touch this kind of high-risk, low-profit industry.

Perhaps only a villainous little mage would be willing to pay such a high price.

Therefore, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild and the foreign tribes have completely different standards for judging the value of living goods.

The only option is not to acquire it.

The foreign tribes they brought were allowed to set up stalls and sell their goods in the trading market at the center of the island, and then pay a handling fee after the transaction was completed.

The sounds of haggling, the calls of livestock, and the shouts of unloading... all kinds of sounds intertwine and collide, surging against the backdrop of waves crashing on the shore, weaving a unique and lively scene at Dream Island Wharf.

Amidst the commotion, a figure appeared near the dock of Dream Island on a hoverboard.

The newcomer was none other than the Destiny Throat, the Destiny Lord of the Dragon Sparrow lineage.

He leaped lightly off the hoverboard, his silver robe fluttering gently in the morning breeze, the fabric shimmering with a faint glow, as if he were draped in moonlight.

A gust of wind swirled around his feet, carrying him slowly to the dockside.

At this point, Lifethirst has a completely different appearance compared to when it first entered the game.

He exuded the majesty unique to those in power. His cascading silver hair was no longer loosely draped, but instead tied up with a dark gold hair clip with a dragon and phoenix pattern. A few strands of hair fell beside his cold and handsome profile, adding to his sharp and fierce appearance.

A pair of deep, indifferent silver eyes seemed to see through the fate of all things in the world, yet remained unconcerned about everything before him.

From a human aesthetic point of view, Minghou's appearance and temperament are both perfect.

After landing, he looked around at the bustling scene at the pier, a hint of approval in his eyes, and then walked deeper into the island.

Dream Island has a rule against flying, and as a guest, he should abide by the rules of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

This is also the attitude he should have when he first came into contact with the Gold Coin Merchants Association.

Although the Lunar Eclipse Clan is insignificant in the real world, as the behind-the-scenes force controlling the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, they occupy a pivotal position in the Monster World player camp.

How could these newbie players possibly compare to the established Gold Coin Merchant Guild?

The difference in their influence among players is simply not on the same level.

……

On the island, in a high-rise building near the trading square.

Alan leaned against the rooftop railing, wearing the Gold Coin Merchant Guild's signature robe, with a diamond-shaped gold badge pinned to the collar, engraved with the words "Gold Coin," a badge worn by all guild members.

The creation of this symbol is also intended to enhance cohesion within the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

At this moment, Alan's gaze was sweeping over the bustling trading market below.

Just then, he heard footsteps behind him, but he didn't even lift his eyelids:

"General Yeming, you've come twice this week already."

As she spoke, A-Lan turned around to look.

As he expected, the one who arrived was none other than General Yeming of the Mingwu Clan.

It wore dark-patterned armor, the blood still clinging to the armor plates, as if it had just returned from the smoke of battle.

"President Alan, the war between our clan and the Ascended Clan, and even the Shuyan Clan, has lasted for two months. During this time, war resources have been severely depleted, which is exactly when our clan needs resources the most. Continuing to purchase at market prices will affect our clan's progress in the Ascended Sea." Ye Ming said with a furrowed brow and a solemn tone.

"I know the situation at the front is critical, but my Gold Coin Merchant Guild has always only considered profits in business and never paid attention to anything else. Your request to purchase resources at low prices will undoubtedly damage the profits of my Gold Coin Merchant Guild."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Ming's face darkened, and his long, slender fingers slowly clenched.
"After all, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild operates within the territory under the jurisdiction of my Mingwu Clan. The better my Mingwu Clan develops, the more profits your Gold Coin Merchant Guild can obtain. Suppose my Mingwu Clan is defeated in an external war, causing the Cangxing Sea defense line to fall and a large number of external forces to flood into the Cangxing Sea. Your merchant ships will not be able to sail safely. Wouldn't the interests of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild be damaged?"

"What the general said is true."

Ah Lan straightened up, her tone still relaxed, but her eyes had become sharper:
“General, first you need to understand one thing: our Gold Coin Merchant Guild is not a charity. We can provide the resources you need, including life-restoring potions, but how much we give depends on how many resources you can provide. As for the security issue you mentioned, that does exist.”

"If the Nightshade Clan is defeated due to external wars, my Gold Coin Merchant Guild will inevitably be affected, but this does not mean that the next force to control the Azure Star Sea will be an enemy of my Gold Coin Merchant Guild."

After speaking, A-Lan asked with a smile:
"General Yeming, what do you think the new forces will lack most after taking over this sea area?"

Before Ye Ming could answer, A Lan continued:

"It is a stable supply chain of materials, and an economic system that can make the territory run quickly. My Gold Coin Merchant Guild can provide everything they need. No matter who is in charge of the Azure Star Sea, the outcome will not change much."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's expression darkened with anger, and he clenched his fists even tighter.

"Are you so sure that the new forces will tolerate you?"

"I'm not sure, but it's highly likely." Alan smiled, her tone confident.

This wasn't the first time I'd met Ye Ming.

He was well aware that the Gold Coin Merchant Guild's role was not to serve the development of the Mist Clan.

Once this hole is opened.

In the future, whenever the Mist Clan encounters trouble, they will come to negotiate and demand discounted prices for goods.

Perhaps in Ye Ming's eyes, the development of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild also depends on the support of the Mingwu Clan.

But in his eyes, and in the eyes of the Gold Coin Merchants Guild members.

The future of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild will never be limited to the Mist Clan, so Ye Ming's request is simply impossible for him to agree to.

He leaned against the railing, the sea breeze ruffling his robes.
“General, you must understand that what we provide to the Mist Clan, besides resources, is the trading rules of the Azure Star Sea, and even a unified price standard. Only our Gold Coin Merchant Guild can provide these. Without the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, you can at most enslave other races, but you cannot establish this stable cross-faction settlement system. Therefore, the Mist Clan needs the Gold Coin Merchant Guild more than the Gold Coin Merchant Guild needs the Mist Clan.”

Ye Ming was naturally aware of what A Lan had said.

The core of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild's cross-race trading system is the various valuable goods that the Gold Coin Merchant Guild itself provides.

Pure energy crystals, weapons and equipment of unknown origin, life potions, and a wide variety of spiritual plant seeds... these are the core of circulation and the most needed commodities in trade.

Without the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, cross-sea trade simply could not be established.

The Mist Clan's ability to integrate marine resources in such a short time is indeed inseparable from the mature trading system of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, as well as its subsequent maintenance services.

Having his weakness exposed, Ye Ming's expression softened.

"So, General," Ah Lan's voice softened slightly.

"Instead of worrying about whether we are willing to make concessions, why not think about how to trade with us using the resources you have? For example, the star silver vein that was just discovered on the seabed of Mingwu Island can produce spirit ore, which can be used as a bargaining chip. It doesn't necessarily have to be used for the forging of war weapons, does it?"

Ye Ming suddenly looked up, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes:
"Are you trying to uncover our clan's secrets?"

"I'm showing you the right path." Alan shrugged.
"The entire sea area holds no secrets in the eyes of our Gold Coin Merchant Guild. What the guild wants is profit, not territory. You safeguard the overall situation, and we will revitalize our business. No one should try to get something for nothing. This is the rule for long-term cooperation. Since you have leverage, why do you choose to negotiate and make our Gold Coin Merchant Guild concede? Do you think that's appropriate? Or do you want to discuss this issue with me again from the perspective of strength?"

Ye Ming sat down at this moment, picked up the wine glass on A Lan's table, and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy liquor slid down his throat, and he was about to speak again to try and negotiate some benefits with Alan, the head of the Gold Coin Merchants Association, when a silver-white figure appeared silently on the rooftop.

The newcomer stepped into the swirling black wind, his silver robe fluttering in the breeze, and his dark gold hair shimmering in the sunlight.

What arrived was the life-threatening throat that Ah Lan had arranged to meet beforehand.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar figure arrive, Ye Ming's brows furrowed instantly; his negotiations with the head of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild were at a crucial juncture.

This unexpected intrusion undoubtedly disrupted his rhythm, making him genuinely displeased.

"And who is this?" Ye Ming looked at A Lan, his tone tinged with impatience.

Before A-Lan could speak, Ming-Hou nodded, his silver eyes remaining calm and undisturbed.

"General Yeming, how have you been?"

Ye Ming was taken aback by the greeting from the unfamiliar creature.

What puzzled it was that the other party not only knew its identity, but also spoke with a certain familiarity in his tone. However, it searched its memory but could not recall when it had ever seen this person before.

Neither their appearance nor the life force emanating from them could be found to match.

But since the other party mentioned his name, it seems that they had some connection with him before.

"Who are you?" Ye Ming raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt.

At this moment, Minghou was also somewhat surprised.

I never expected to run into Ye Ming here.

He was quite familiar with this guy.

Back then, according to the outcome of the game, their Fate Clan chose to seal themselves underground.

This guy somehow found out that he could gamble on the future by playing a game of equal value with the Fate Clan, and he took the initiative to come to us.

When faced with a client who wants to gamble, the Destiny Clan naturally won't refuse, and he will take on this gamble together with the Destiny Masters of the other lineages.

Unfortunately, fate was not on their side, and this gamble resulted in heavy losses for them.

However, the Fate Clan has always been willing to accept defeat and gave the other party the chips they deserved.

Time flies, and unexpectedly, I met Ye Ming again, this time as a player.

In response to Ye Ming's question, Ming Hou smiled slightly:
“The Fate Clan, the Dragon Sparrow lineage’s Fate Master: Fate Throat… Do you remember the equivalent game of yesteryear?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, gathering a chilling wind that formed the outline of a silver mask on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

Memories related to the Fate Clan flooded his mind, and the figure before him gradually overlapped with the Venerable figure in his memories.

The other party had clearly used some kind of secret method to conceal the dissipation of their life force.

It was only because the silver mask was removed that it didn't recognize it.

As for the bet from back then, it naturally remembered it clearly.

The Mist Clan's revival in today's era owes much to that particular struggle.

It was this very struggle that allowed it to turn the tide and ultimately defeat the Deathwhisperers.

It didn't know much about the strength of the Fate Clan.

However, it is certain that every Destiny Lord in the Destiny Clan possesses the strength of a demigod, and there is an even stronger Destiny Lord above them.

Their overall strength far surpasses that of the Mist Clan.

Ye Ming decisively put down his wine glass, stood up, suppressed his previous impatience, and looked at Ming Hou with a hint of respect:
"So it is the Dragon Sparrow Lord of the Destiny Clan who has arrived. My apologies for my disrespect."

As it spoke, it placed its hand on its forehead in the manner it remembered from the Fate Clan, as a sign of respect.

At this moment, Ye Ming realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

Even the Dragon Sparrow, who holds the power of destiny, was willing to condescend to visit, which speaks volumes about the significance behind it.
