Under Liu Ming’s and the Purgatory Nightmare’s attacks, the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s Health Points decreased rapidly.
As time passed, the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s HP quickly decreased below 20%.
Just as it was about to fall below 10%, the Flaming Demonic Vulture suddenly let out a long cry. Immediately afterward, the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s wings vibrated as it tried to break free from Liu Ming’s and the Purgatory Nightmare’s siege.
However, Liu Ming had already been wary of the Flaming Demonic Vulture entering a berserk state to escape when its HP had decreased to about 15%.
How could he let the Flaming Demonic Vulture break free?
Several sword arcs appeared as Liu Ming wielded his large sword and slashed one of the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s wings. The Purgatory Nightmare raised its front hoof and stomped on the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s other wing.
A few damage indicators darted out of the Flaming Demonic Vulture’s head.
-2,031 (Critical Hit)
-2,010 (Critical Hit)
-2,023
…
Although the damage done by Liu Ming’s sword attacks were not high even with the Critical Hits, and the Purgatory Nightmare had only launched normal attacks, it caused the Flaming Demonic Vulture to lose its last chance of escaping.
Also, the successive Critical Hits that Liu Ming achieved with his sword meant that Liu Ming had already activated his final trump card, Blessing Of Lady Luck.
In the end, the Flaming Demonic Vulture collapsed with indignation before Liu Ming’s large sword while its loot dropped all over the ground.

Liu Ming did not care about things like equipment much.
After all, Liu Ming had been killing Lotter City’s three major regional Hegemons repeatedly in the past few days.
Other players would probably still be fighting all-out and risking their lives for one or two pieces of Purple equipment from the lowest-level regional Hegemon. However, Orange equipment did not appear all the time for Liu Ming. The regional Hegemon would definitely drop the Purple Outfit on its body once it was killed. If one was lucky, they might get a few more pieces of loose equipment.
Hence, Liu Ming simply took a few glances at the equipment before shifting his attention to the strange Guild Residence Token.
Ordinary Guild Residence Tokens were considered Purple items, but the one he had now… It not only had the extra word ‘High,’ but it had also turned into an Orange item. However, God Domain’s officials had long announced that the information available on God Domain’s official website was only 5% of the game’s total information.
Hence, Liu Ming did not feel surprised.
High Guild Residence Token (Orange): The residences built using this token will be Level 5. The user will also obtain a random, special building.
…
The High Guild Residence Token’s introduction was rather short, but it showed that it was not simple. Even without the additional special building, the High Guild Residence Token would be worthy of its name.
God Domain’s Guild Residences were divided into 20 levels. Before reaching Level 10, Guild Residences could level up by reaching a certain level of construction when one put in the effort to build it.
If one wanted to continue increasing the Guild Residence’s level beyond Level 10, they would have to complete some difficult quests or hand over some valuable, precious items. The level of a Guild Residence could be increased with proper development before they reached Level 10. However, this was not an easy task either.
Among the guilds that had purchased Guild Residence Tokens from Liu Ming and established Guild Residences up to 20 days in advance, Despising The World was the only guild whose Guild Residence had reached Level 3.
There were even two guilds that established their residences later. Thus, their residences were still at Level 1.
Despising The World managed to increase their Guild Residence’s level to Level 3 with a large amount of money and resources.
According to news from smaller channels, Despising The World Guild’s president, Proud Hero, sent a message in the guild channel saying that he would be a dog if he spent money to increase the Guild Residence’s level again on the night that his Guild Residence advanced to Level 3.
Although Despising The World’s senior executives denied it vehemently, they had indeed stopped purchasing resources in bulk, proving that it was not a groundless rumor.
While this small incident gave the players something to talk about, it also helped them discover how difficult it was to level up Guild Residences.
The High Guild Residence Token could directly give a guild a Level 5 Guild Residence. As for the special buildings that came with a High Guild Residence Token… Although it might be hard to estimate its value, it was worth more than the ordinary Guild Residence Tokens, no matter what.
After looking at the High Guild Residence Token’s information, the first thing that came to Liu Ming’s mind was to sell it for money. Even if Liu Ming wanted to build a guild in the future, he would want to keep it to less than 100 elites in the guild. In that situation, Liu Ming had no need for a Guild Residence at all.
However, Liu Ming soon dismissed this idea.
Liu Ming previously managed to sell the first Residence Token at a sky-high price purely because of various coincidences.
If he were to do it all over again, Liu Ming could not guarantee that he would be able to sell it for such a high price.
Besides, to the guilds that already had a Guild Residence, their own guild’s development would slow down if they spent a large amount of money on buying the High Guild Residence Token. Even if advancing their Guild Residence to Level 5 straight away might save them plenty of time, it was not very cost-effective to them.
As for the guilds that did not have Guild Residences, they obviously wouldn’t spend a large sum of money to purchase the High Guild Residence Token from Liu Ming. After all, they would already have Guild Residences by now if they were willing to spend a lot of money.
Hence, the High Guild Residence Token was destined not to be sold for a high price as the first Guild Residence Token did.
Since it could not fetch a high price and Liu Ming was not in need of hundreds of thousands of yuan now, he decided to keep it with him and observe the game situation for a while before doing anything else.
If it really could not sell for much, he would build his own guild and use the token.
…
When Liu Ming returned to the Guild of Professions, he saw the Knight Mentor talking to a white-bearded old man wearing a grayish-blue robe.
As soon as he saw Liu Ming, the Knight mentor looked at Liu Ming smilingly and said, “Oh, Adventurer Floating Cloud, you’re finally back. You completed the mission very well. Your style of doing things is almost half of mine when I was younger.”
However, before Liu Ming could even speak, the white-bearded old man said in disdain, “Save it! When you were his age, you were still being hunted by Bear Gnomes. You were nothing like this young and promising adventurer, who managed to kill regional Hegemons like the Flaming Demonic Vulture on his own.”
Upon hearing that, the Knight Mentor couldn’t help but mutter, “At least I’m better than you. You’re in your seventies, but you’re still just a leader.”
