The inheritance trial had awarded a total of 31 Inheritance Skill Points. An ordinary person spending 30 points to learn just two skills would definitely hesitate.
But Shi Feng didn't hesitate for a second. Without a word, he confirmed the purchase, and just like that his Inheritance Skill Points dropped to 1.
For an expert, nothing was more important than a powerful skill.
First-order powerful skills had extremely high freedom of use, and mastering them was far from easy. But if used well, multiplying one's combat power was a given.
As the saying went, ten birds in the forest weren't worth one in hand.
Thirty Inheritance Skill Points could certainly let you learn more skills, but when it came to boosting actual combat strength, they couldn't hold a candle to the Heavenly Wheel Circulating Sword and Blade Release.
And among them, the super-burst skill Blade Release was worth far more than a dozen ordinary first-order skills in a crisis.
After learning the skills, Shi Feng used a Return Scroll to teleport back to White River City.
White River City was buzzing with activity.
Thanks to Smile of the City's aggressive high-salary poaching, White River City's development had been given a serious boost. Lone players from other cities were flocking in, all hoping to become members of Smile of the City's guild.
Everyone in the world chased profit, and everyone in the world thronged toward it.
Compared to Zero Wing's appeal, Smile of the City's generous benefits were on a completely different level.
According to official statistics, White River City's player population had surpassed three million, making it the undisputed largest player city in eastern Star Moon Kingdom and the third most populous city in the entire kingdom.
Seeing this situation, Shi Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had originally wanted to make White River City the hottest city in Star Moon Kingdom — after all, Zero Wing's guild headquarters was located here, giving them absolute home-court advantage. He never expected that Smile of the City, of all enemies, would end up being his biggest helper.
Fate loved to play tricks, and that was putting it mildly.
If Feng Xuanyang, the mastermind behind all this, found out, he would probably explode with rage.
But one had to admit that Feng Xuanyang's reckless money-dumping strategy had produced excellent results. Now Smile of the City was the undisputed number-one guild in White River City, with over eighty thousand members in the city alone — many of them elite players — far surpassing every other guild.
Moreover, during this period Smile of the City had been conquering major dungeons throughout White River City as if running on adrenaline, their clearing speed far exceeding the team led by Bai Qingxue and completely unstoppable. On top of that, they had been buying up intel on reputation quests at premium prices, clearly aiming to be the second guild to claim a headquarters in White River City.
Zero Wing, on the other hand, had been sitting still lately. The guild's member count hovered around twenty thousand — if not for the guild headquarters' high-level quests and double experience bonus, they would probably have been poached dry by Smile of the City long ago.
"Brother Feng, you're finally out! Did you finish the job change?" Barely had Shi Feng returned to White River City when Hei Zi got in touch.
