Chapter 101 How come everyone has full talent?

"Boss, this... do you think those bastards of the tough guy might...?"

'

The top warriors of the Hunting Grounds Guild were completely unable to remain calm at this moment. Before, it was just a guess, but now it was confirmed. There really was something in Holy Stone City!

"Hard to say..." The chairman was unsure at this point. He seemed like a tough guy, honest by all accounts, but Tangyuan from the Beihai Association was known in the industry for his honesty. Wasn't this just turning against him?

"They went into the forest. There might be something there. Shall we follow them and check?"

"The key question is, what about Holy Stone City?" a high-ranking warrior couldn't help but ask.

"Send the logistics team..." the chairman said through gritted teeth.

Several high-level warriors were slightly taken aback, then nodded. The logistics team was also supported by the guild at a high price, and their loyalty was quite good. Moreover, even if they obtained something, it wouldn't be enough to threaten these high-level warriors.

But the problem is... if there really is something in Holy Stone City that can temporarily increase a player's strength, once it's taken over by the majority of casual players outside, their guild's advantage will be completely lost!

Gao Zhan knew this, and so did the guild leader, but... no one mentioned it. Compared to external competitiveness, many guild leaders who had already tasted the benefits cared more about their current control.

On the other hand, the atmosphere within the镖人 (bodyguard/escort) team was also not very good.

The second team that came out looked somewhat apprehensive to the old man and a group of highly skilled warriors.

"Boss, we really didn't find anything, you have to believe me!"

The镖人 remained silent, and several high-level warriors also hesitated. It was hard to say whether the team members had actually benefited, but he didn't believe that all players could obtain the same level of benefits as Tangyuan and his group in Holy Stone City; that was too exaggerated.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Stick to the original plan and send the third team!"

"Boss..." The several high-level warriors were immediately startled.

"Alright..." The镖人 waved his hand, "We didn't find anything; it's just bad luck. If we stop our men from coming in, then we're out of our minds. We can't let the outsiders get all the benefits, can we?"

"This..." Everyone understood this principle, but if... once someone gained enormous benefits from it, the guild's status... would probably be completely overturned.

"Brothers..." The镖人 (bodyguard/escort) looked at the remaining members of the group who hadn't yet entered. "This is the situation now. Do your best, and leave the rest to fate. I don't know what it's like inside, or how many brothers will have this opportunity. I've never wronged any of my brothers. If any of you have this chance, I hope you'll remember the guild's spirit and lend a hand!"

"President..." The third group of people who were about to enter were moved to tears.

"Alright, go on, go on..." the镖人 waved his hand, "Don't waste time, seize the opportunity!"

"yes!"

In the distance, watching the third team of镖人 (bodyguards) arrive at the gate with their chests puffed out, Evil Wolf glanced at the logistics team sent by the Hunting Grounds Guild and laughed, "That镖人 guy, at least he's not completely brainless."

Sending in the logistics team? Only someone with a screw loose would come up with such an ingenious idea.

This is clearly a challenging task; otherwise, why would they give such a big boost before it even starts?

Even if you send in a support team and gain some benefits, how much will that improve your guild's competitiveness? Once other players have the same benefits as Tangyuan, do you really think your guilds can hold onto your current interests?

Take the Hunting Grounds Guild for example. Because they stick together, they monopolize several good hunting spots. They drive away any random players who approach. That's the advantage of having a guild. But once the combat power of outside players surpasses that of your guild, why do you think you can still stand firm?

However, he could also figure out why. Just like all the powerful and wealthy people in history, did the Qing Dynasty not know how powerful other countries were after the Industrial Revolution?

They knew that foreign countries would eventually invade, but they still preferred to continue restricting their own territory, all in order to protect their own interests.

These guild leaders, despite their negligible power, are brimming with the decadent aristocratic mentality.

With the gatekeeper allowing them to pass, the third group of people entered amidst this complicated situation.

"Thank you, Shadow. We were referred by Mr. Bright. We heard that you can increase the success rate of Shadow Potions?"

Megan silently watched the couple outside, her heart filled with complex emotions.

How many groups of people have come here already?

With exceptional fusion aptitude and the ability to adapt to the Shadow Seed almost instantly, they are practically the most perfect human. Such aptitude is hard to find in this era, yet they appear as if they're free in Holy Stone City.

There is a very, very secretive belief among those ancient intelligent races that everything actually originated from humanity, and that humanity... is the origin of all the people of the divine kingdom.

However, only a few people can fully mature the Seed of the Divine Kingdom. Forcibly devouring it will result in deformed creatures or even sudden death. This thing cannot be inherited, cannot be defied, and cannot be changed by external objects, which makes it impossible for the noble system to be maintained in the ancient divine kingdom.

Because the next generation may not necessarily fully inherit the family's superior bloodline.

Humans with the ability to inherit are highly sought-after by the divine kingdom. Originally, I thought it would take me a long time to find such a bloodline, and I would also have to avoid the powerful human empire and nobles and secretly develop my lineage.

After all, it's hard for human nobles, who rely on bloodlines to maintain their family power, to accept that commoners can suddenly acquire noble bloodlines.

It could even lead to a massacre, just like the last upheaval in the divine kingdom, which was due to this situation not being anticipated.

He originally thought that his infiltration this time would likely last at least a century, and the elves' infiltration should be the same, but the reality seems to be different.

Including the two who came today, it seems there are already thirteen.

"Come in."

He symbolically opened the door to the small house, which was distorted by shadows and could not be reached by anyone other than a person with a special physique.

Seeing the couple walk in without any difficulty, he knew they were two more valuable Shadow Citizens.

Is this guy named Bright just lucky or what? Why is it that everyone he introduces has this kind of constitution? On the contrary, Eliza, who has gained control of Holy Stone City, has warriors under her command who believe in her but can't find her own house no matter what.

Why do you believe in the shadow of darkness?

He asked the question again. In ancient times, humans with perfect bloodlines had the right to choose. The Giants' Court, Dragon Valley, Shadow Kingdom, Elf Kingdom, Star Spirit Land, and Chaos Abyss—every power would extend an olive branch. However, it was very difficult for the Shadow Kingdom to invite humans through normal means.

After all, the possibility of someone with a destructive desire, who enjoys chaos, and happens to be a perfect person is very small; the human group tends to favor order.

"Of course, it's because it's powerful enough," the wolf said.

It's a wonder Black Rose was able to find this place; who would have thought that the door to opportunity would be in the hands of a corpse collector?

The old man nodded. The pursuit of power is a characteristic sought after by the Shadow People, and their dislike of being bound by rules is a common trait unique to the Chaotic Faction.

"And you?"

"Because the odds are higher," Black Rose said with a smile. "We've heard about the elves, but we believe that, mechanics-wise, the Shadows are more likely to win."

I've actually heard about elves?

The old man was taken aback. This was even better. The people of perfection could change their bloodline in a short time. What the Shadow faction was most worried about was that after finally winning over a group of people of shadow, they would defect to the other side. After all, the elven bloodline and the elven system were more in line with the needs of many lower-class humans.

"You guys... have great taste."

Megan smiled and told me about your professions.

"I am a berserker fighter," Wolf said first.

"A fighter?" Megan nodded. "You have two choices. One is to use the Shadow Potion to directly fuse with your Berserker Fighter class and become a Shadow Demon. Shadow Demons can devour the shadows of powerful creatures as reserves, converting them into Berserker Energy, allowing you to maintain a higher and longer Berserker Fighter state. The second is to become a Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warriors can defeat opponents and store their shadows as backup for their class. Each shadow can only be used once. You can devour your own Berserker Fighter shadow as a reserve."

The wolf immediately understood: the second option required him to give up the Berserker class, and in compensation, the Shadow Dancer was a class that could infinitely collect the power of others.

"I choose the second one."

Megan immediately smiled with satisfaction. An ordinary human being, who could give up his power without hesitation to pursue a higher limit, was a kind of decisiveness that the Shadow Kingdom desperately needed.

"And what about you?"

Black Rose frowned and said, "I'm a businesswoman."

"A merchant?" Megan's eyes lit up instead of frowning. "That's a good profession. By merging with the shadows, you can become a shadow merchant!"

The power of the Shadow Kingdom, besides martial arts professions, also needs some spokespeople to bring the power of the shadows back to the world little by little, and the most acceptable way for the world to do so is through trade!
