Mentioning Mist and Rain Commerce, there is certainly a lot to say...
As the first Chamber of the Zero Era, and having just successfully held the Server-wide First Auction, it ranks at the top in both strength and hype.
At this moment, however, a dense crowd of players gathered outside Mist and Rain Commerce. Many of them had even spent a fortune to teleport from other Main Cities, and as long as Mist and Rain Commerce agreed to let them join, they would immediately spend another fortune to handle Account Migration.
This is actually a user-friendly feature implemented by the System to meet the diverse needs of players. When players leave the novice village, they have one free opportunity to choose a Main City. However, once chosen, all game information for that character will be transferred to that Main City.
For example, if a character dies unexpectedly, they will only respawn at that Main City...
Of course, this is not set in stone. Where there is demand, there is a market. As long as players are willing to spend some shiny gold coins, they can migrate their game information out and bind it to a new Main City.
This is what is known as Account Migration.
In fact, such Account Migrations happen almost every day. Some are due to friendships, some because it's hard to get along in their current city, others because they have too many enemies, and some simply because of a sudden infatuation with a certain girl on a specific date...
Thus, the game company happily collects gold coins until their hands cramp...
Meanwhile, inside the Mist and Rain Commerce building, Liu Yuhan looked out the window at the sea of players gathered at the Chamber's entrance with a hint of concern. "Tianchen, do you think we might have gone a bit too far this time?"
"Perhaps we were a little too eager," Yi Tianchen replied. It was rare for him to change into casual clothes; he was currently sitting comfortably in a rosewood chair, leisurely brewing Kung Fu Tea at the tea table... He didn't even know when he had started enjoying drinking Kung Fu Tea, especially in this virtual game.
He used to look down on it...
Maybe it was because drinking tea could bring peace of mind. Yi Tianchen felt that every time he drank tea, his mind remained quite clear. Hearing Liu Yuhan's words now gave him an uneasy feeling; after all, no matter what one does, once it goes too far, it becomes difficult to manage.
"After this incident, the reputation of Mist of Time has certainly been established, but the consequences that follow could be quite serious..."
"Are you talking about combat professions?"
"You must have heard the news about Li Tielong, right? A large number of combat players want to join Mist of Time, but due to our business principles, we can only turn them away. Those who understand will accept it, but those who don't might think that Mist of Time is being arrogant!"
Yi Tianchen remained silent, simply letting out a long sigh.
Liu Yuhan continued, "Thinking we're arrogant isn't the worst part. What I'm worried about is that some ill-intentioned guilds might deliberately organize people to join us, and when they are rejected, they could cause a ruckus, turning what should be a simple matter into a huge scandal. That would be detrimental to our reputation."
Undeniably, this would be a serious issue!
Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan had finally managed to establish the reputation of Mist of Time with great difficulty, but if it were to be toppled right after being built, it would be incredibly challenging to rebuild it.
"Perhaps... it's time for us to cultivate some combat strength."
Liu Yuhan was taken aback and questioned, "Now? The Chamber has just been established, and everything is still not running smoothly. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to form a guild war combat force at this time?"
"Hehe~ I'm only talking about cultivation!"
Yi Tianchen picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea and took a sip, smiling. "Since it's cultivation, there are many ways to go about it. For example, we could cultivate openly or... cultivate in secret!"
Liu Yuhan was stunned.
Yi Tianchen stood up and said no more. Instead, he sent a message to Liu Yuhan. The content of the message wasn't extensive but contained many subtle and profound implications—
"Can I have a private conversation with you and Light Cold Evening Snow, President?"
Liu Yuhan was taken aback for a moment; there was indeed something in this message that required deeper interpretation. Looking at the ID that sent the message, it was quite familiar—
Brotherhood of Loyalty!
"How could it be him?" Liu Yuhan couldn't help but feel surprised. "Our relationship with the Brotherhood Alliance..."
"Perhaps he needs us now, and we actually need him as well..." Yi Tianchen smiled mysteriously. "Come on, let's go meet this President of the Brotherhood Alliance."
Liu Yuhan suddenly smiled brightly. "Your idea might just be right!"

In the System Tavern, VIP Room 17007!
Faced with King's Eternal's passionate rhetoric, even Zeng Jian subtly agreed; as long as one became powerful, what was there to fear?
But the question was, how to become powerful? Was it all just words?
"Go on..."
After receiving Zeng Jian's approval, King's Eternal organized his thoughts and continued, "The current Southern Wilderness City has been stirred up by the Mist of Time, causing many Guilds to be somewhat wary. But the more they are wary, the easier it is for me to use them, after all, we all share the same goal..."
"Are you saying... to break free from the control of the Mist of Time?" Zeng Jian asked.
King's Eternal nodded. "Exactly. Think about it. The power dynamics in Southern Wilderness City are already quite chaotic. Although there are conflicts, at least there is some balance. But now that such a force has suddenly appeared, how do you think everyone will react?"
"There are two possibilities: one is to align with this force, and the other is to distance themselves from it and unite against it..." Overlord Batyen added.
Zeng Jian remained noncommittal, saying, "While that's true, if we want others to align with us, we need to have something to offer them! Don't underestimate those Small Guild Presidents; they're all quite shrewd. It won't be easy to get them on our side."
"Heh, that's not too difficult!"
King's Eternal seemed quite confident and said seriously, "The current situation couldn't be clearer. We just need to analyze it with them in depth, helping them understand the pros and cons. Naturally, they will come to us for cooperation."
"Oh? You seem very confident!" Zeng Jian scoffed.
"President, don't forget that we still hold a trump card!" King's Eternal said with a mysterious smile, a strange glint appearing in his eyes as he looked at the Guild Token tightly gripped in Zeng Jian's hand. "President, this 6.05 million wasn't spent for nothing."
Zeng Jian suddenly stood up. "Damn it, I almost forgot about this thing..."
