Dafei had seen a lot of hermit crabs in Animal World when he was young. They were very magical and intelligent crabs. Although the hard armor of the crab was basically invincible among creatures of the same size, it could not escape the fate of being eaten by any large fish several times its size. Hence, the crab underwent an epic evolution — living in a dead sea conch and even carrying the sea conch on its back to dig holes in the soil. It developed the concept of multiple layers of defense to the extreme, leaping from invincible to absolutely invincible.
Dafei could already imagine that such a huge hermit crab would be invincible even among sea monsters. Its defense was definitely not just limited to the physical defense of the sea conch. It definitely had all kinds of magic enhancements and modifications to the turrets.
At this time, the mermaid continued to proudly introduce, "In addition to being used for combat, this Deep-sea Citadel's greatest use is to collect resources. It has a resource portal in its body that connects to the Sea God's Temple. It specializes in transporting the collected and devoured resources to the Sea God's Temple. At the same time, its giant pincers also have the ability to dig for minerals and can also go ashore to dig. This is one of the most high-end weapons in the Sea Realm. As long as Warriors accept this mission, Deep-sea Citadel can also assist you in competitions depending on the situation. Are Warriors willing to accept this challenge?"
Dafei's eyebrows twitched as he listened! There was a portal in its stomach, amphibious, able to fight and produce. It was indeed high-end! I don't lack anything that can fly in the sky or dive into the ground, but I lack something that can go underwater to dig for minerals. Not to mention, I am now a commander without an army. I lack a fortress that can stand on the seabed. This is my hope of turning the tables! I want it! I really, really want it.
But, calm down!
This mermaid's cold and arrogant attitude formed a huge contrast to the previous Saint, which made Dafei very unhappy. The 100 million points were even more blinding to Dafei. Dafei knew that when interacting with NPCs, favorability was everything. Needless to say, the Sea God's attitude towards him was that she would flip his ship at any time if there was a chance, not to mention that he had lost a battle.
Would a player with a close Reputation Worship and a player with a hostile Reputation Hate receive the same mission? Therefore, this condition was definitely a scam! As a grandmaster of profiteering and a diplomat with godly leadership skills, how could he be fooled by this NPC who had a bad attitude towards him? He had to negotiate! Let's start with the goods.
In fact, Dafei had seen such a creature before. Back then, when Light City was besieged by the Dragon Slaying Guild, the Dragon Slaying Guild had invited the descendant of the Teleportation Deity God, Astaroth, who was ranked 29th among the 72 Deity Pillar Deities. That creature floated above Light City, opened its mouth, and the Hell's Teleportation Door in its mouth would drop a Demonic Army like a waterfall. (Chapter 504 – The Demon Race's Airdrop into the City of Light)
Therefore, one should not be afraid of not knowing the goods, only afraid of comparing the goods! The Demon God could teleport lifeforms, yet it had been commandeered by the Dragon Slaying Guild in its early days. Although the Dragon Slaying Guild had used the opportunity of angering the Demon King by killing the Magic Eye Warlord, the fact that it had been commandeered was amazing! On the other hand, the crab's Spatial Gate could only transport resources. It was similar to Catalina's Spatial Gate after she merged with the Demon God's Warship. It could only transport resources and nothing else. This was a sign of a low-end Spatial Gate. Every player had 10 units of storage space. So, you really think I don't know what's good for me?
Dafei immediately started to shake his head and haggle. "It's still low-end! This crab's teleportation ability is much lower than the Astar Dragon that I once fought against. This fortress is not worth this price! "
The mermaid's face instantly turned ugly. "You, a mortal, dare to be so arrogant and presumptuous. You will pay the price for your stupidity!"
— System Notification: Your Grandmaster-level 'Bargaining Technique' negotiation has failed. The Trojan Sea God's Observer's bad impression of you has increased further! Warning: Once your reputation in the Sea God's faction drops further, the Sea God's Observer will refuse to sell goods to you.
Dafei spat out a mouthful of saliva! Damn it, refusing to sell goods is equivalent to a red name treatment, alright? Do I have such a bad impression of the Sea God? Alright, I have already flipped the boat of my Merchant Association so many times. It is indeed that bad. Let's talk about mutual benefits.
Dafei changed the topic. "Lord Observer, you have seen it too. My opponents are all generously helped by their Gods. You should also help me. Otherwise, even if I lose, I will only be a mortal. My personal glory is insignificant, but the Lord Sea God will also lose face."
The mermaid said coldly, "A mediocre person who has not done anything will not receive the favor of the Gods. Anyway, it is not the first time that the Sea God has lost to Athena. You don't have to worry about the Lord Sea God's reputation. You should worry about how you will face the wrath of the Sea God! "
What the heck! This Sea God has never won before and has become a wily old fox? It seemed that no matter what he said in this scenario, it would not work. After all, his impression of him was too low. Then he could only accept the ridiculous 100 million points?
No way! Killing a Boss would only give him 100 million points. 100 million points would be enough to wash Troy in blood. Dafei still decided to make one last effort. There was a type of negotiation called the exchange of benefits.
Dafei opened his quest list and showed the two legendary quests that the Mermaid Saint had given him: "Search for the Lost Continent of Atlantis" and "Defeat the Bahamut Dragons". As long as he completed one of these two quests, he could appease the Sea God and remove the curse of the Dragon Knight Association. This was also the only bargaining chip that Dafei could use to exchange benefits with the Sea God.
Dafei said seriously, "Lord Observer, what if I complete these two quests for the Sea God?" That's right. Dafei was very ambitious. When he first accepted the quest, he was very confident about his future. He had the intention to complete both quests. Since he had decided to complete both quests, he might as well use it as a bargaining chip.
The observer shook his head. "This is not my responsibility. My quest is to be the observer of the Troy battlefield."
What the heck! Is this NPC's authority limited to this instance dungeon? Are you trying to make me die in the dungeon from holding my bladder?
Dafei could only pester her endlessly. "This is what the Sea God cares about the most, right? The Sea God cares about this more than the competition, right? Worrying about what the Sea God was worried about and thinking about what the Sea God was thinking, this was what a qualified mermaid should do, right? Now that the opportunity to solve the Sea God's problem is right in front of you, how can you say that this is not your responsibility? "
The mermaid was silent and indifferent.
Perhaps the NPC's authority was really limited. It was too difficult for her to rely on an NPC who sold things to solve this kind of thing. Dafei asked helplessly, "If the Lord Observer can't handle this kind of thing, are there any other important members of the Seafolk here? Other Gods have a few important members on the battlefield. This is such a big sea, there can't be only one observer, right? I'll talk to someone else. "
The mermaid suddenly said, "Talk about what?"
There's a reaction!? Has her intelligence been played by me? Dafei suppressed his excitement and replied, "Of course it's to talk about the preferential terms of this Deep Sea Fortress?"
The mermaid smiled coldly. "If you complete the mission, you can talk about it however you want. If the Sea God is happy, he can directly give you the fortress. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're using two missions that haven't been completed to talk about conditions? "
Dafei was overjoyed. This was a sign that she had been enlightened! As long as they could talk!
Dafei hurriedly said, "My condition is to borrow it! Lord, lend me this Deep Sea Fortress first. Let me win this competition first, and then complete the Sea God's mission, I will need this kind of fortress! There shouldn't be a problem with borrowing it, right? My Sky Ship is actually also borrowed from the Wizard City. Is the Sea God's magnanimity and investment vision inferior to those mortal Gods of the Wizard City? "
The mermaid's eyebrows jumped. "Very well, I can lend you the fortress! The condition is that you must complete the two most important missions of the Sea God within five years, but you still have to pay 100 million points in the first year of the lease. "
— System Notification: You have received the condition to rent the Deep Sea Fortress, complete the legendary mission within five years …
Success? So simple? Five years, the same as the lease period of the Sky Ship!? Dafei's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're really lending it?"
The mermaid laughed. "Anyway, it's something that you said is of a low level, why can't I lend it?" Saying this, the mermaid took out a shining golden sea beast skin. "This is the Sea God's contract. If you agree, come and sign it!"
