Chapter 2056 Youll Regret It
At Shi Fengs words, the reception room fell deathly silent. Both Jing Yang and Aqua Rose were stunned and confused as they stared at Shi Feng.
Why? Jing Yang could not help but ask after taking a deep breath.
Blackwaters conditions were incredibly generous. If Zero Wing accepted the offer, it could grow more powerful than it had ever been. No Guild would consider rejecting such an offer, and this was the perfect opportunity to reconcile with Blackwater. It was always better to have another ally than an extra enemy in Gods Domain.
The Guardian Puppet was a very powerful war weapon, first-rate whether protecting a town or attacking it. Other war weapons couldnt hold a candle to it, but it was only powerful right now. As players reached higher levels and Tier 3, the Guardian Puppet would become obsolete. At most, one could rely on it as a slightly tougher Tier 3 combatant.
In his opinion, Shi Feng should be more than willing to agree with Blackwaters conditions.
It should already be an honor for Zero Wing that Blackwater had paid a personal visit. Other first-rate Guilds couldnt even qualify for the corporations attention, yet Zero Wing was unappreciative of Blackwaters goodwill.
Its nothing major. The price your Guild has offered is just too low, so we dont wish to sell, Shi Feng replied in an extremely calm tone.
Low? Jing Yang was stunned. Softly, he asked, How much do you want, then?
In addition to the Credits, I want 100 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid and 10 high-potential Shops in major NPC cities, Shi Feng said after giving the matter some thought.
Both Aqua Rose and Blackie turned to their Guild Leader in shock, gaping.
One hundred bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid!
Not even the White Tiger Dojo could afford such a price. Even a major corporation like Blackwater would feel a sting if it gave away 100 bottles.
Furthermore, Shi Feng wanted high-potential Shops as well. Not even 10,000 Gold was enough to purchase such things.
Ten Shops would equate more than 100,000 Gold.
Are you insane? Jing Yang demanded. Do you know how much money 100 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid and 10 high- potential Shops are worth?
He wondered if Shi Feng was trying to challenge his bottomline.
He could accept paying 100 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid, but asking for 10 Shops was a joke.
The Guardian Puppets value would decrease as players reached higher levels, but major NPC cities Shops would not. Their value would only increase as time passed. More players joined Gods Domain each day and owning high-potential Shops guaranteed a stable income. Even leasing these Shops to others would generate substantial profits.
To put it simply, the Guardian Puppets value couldnt compare to that of high-potential Shops. Not even four Guardian Puppets were worth a Shop in a major NPC city, let alone a one-on-one trade.
Elder Jing Yang, if you find these conditions unacceptable, you may return to negotiate with your superiors, Shi Feng said, smiling at the enraged man before him.
His asking price was far above average, but at this stage of the game, 10 Guardian Puppets were worth it. With 10 units, the Guardian Puppets could exhibit sufficient combat power, and whoever controlled them could effortlessly capture a Guild Town. They would also be a massive help when establishing a Guild Town in a neutral map.
If he didnt need the S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Credits so desperately, he wouldnt have even considered selling the Guardian Puppets to Blackwater. Constructing 10 Puppets wouldnt be easy, and the materials were quite rare.
Young man, you shouldnt be too greedy. Zero Wing will only benefit in the future if it secures Blackwaters friendship. Forget about the high-potential Shops, Jing Yang said after calming himself down. He then looked at Shi Feng and stated his final price, Seventy bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid, as well as the conditions I mentioned previously.
Take care as you leave! I wont be able to see you off! Shi Feng said.
You... Very good! Youll regret this decision! Jing Yang nearly spat blood when he heard Shi Fengs response. He left the room in a huff, not wanting to linger in Zero Wings headquarters a moment longer.
After Jing Yang left, both Aqua Rose and Liang Jing, who had witnessed the entire conversation from a corner of the room, turned to stare at Shi Feng in befuddlement.
They also could not help but admire Shi Feng.
That was 70 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluid they were talking about!
Yet, despite the temptation of Blackwaters offer or its threats, Shi Feng had remained unfazed.
After Jing Yang left Zero Wings headquarters, he contacted Xuanwu Chisa and updated her on the negotiations outcome.
What an interesting person, Xuanwu Chisa could not help her smile. Even though Zero Wings existence is on the line, he insists on keeping a tight grip on the Guardian Puppets.
In my opinion, Zero Wing is not worthy of your attention, Vice Guild Leader. They have no idea that Starlink isnt the only Guild targeting them and that many other superpowers have set their sights on White River City. They dont realize the lifeline were offering. They will regret their decision today, Jing Yang said, sneering.
In truth, he had visited Zero Wings headquarters for two reasons. The first reason was for business. The second was to determine whether Zero Wing qualified to become one of Blackwaters puppets. However, it would seem that the Guilds members were simply ignorant fools.
Alright, enough. Return for now. We still have much to do, Xuanwu Chisa said before disconnecting the call. She did not bother to comment further on the matter.
Once the negotiations with Blackwater came to an end, Shi Feng received Zero Wings latest status report from Aqua Rose and Blackie.
The Guild continued to develop rapidly, especially regarding member recruitment. Zero Wings elite member count now exceeded 400,000, and more than 4,000 expert members operated in Star-Moon Kingdom. The Guilds growth was frightening.
Shi Feng had to admit that the battles in the Witchs Hill and near Moon Creek Town had elevated Zero Wings fame and reputation. Now, many previously hesitant elite and expert players had finally decided to join Zero wing.
In addition, Fire Dance and Zero Wings other main force members had finished training in the Extraordinary Tower, splitting up into multiple 100-man teams to raid Level 60 Team Dungeons. Their raid progression had also been impressive. Theyd likely obtain the First Clear of Star-Moon Kingdoms various 100-man Team Dungeons in a few more days.
The lack of funds was the only problem now, giving Aqua Rose and Blackie plenty of headaches.
In response, Shi Feng agreed to rent Zero Wing Citys Shops for Credits, reducing the Guilds Coin income.
After Shi Feng had assigned tasks, he returned to his room and logged back into Gods Domain.
