"Gongzi You, it's been a while," said Absalom with a smile. He then introduced the man beside him to Ye Ci, "This is the vice leader of Genesis, Silent Hymn. This is Gongzi You from the Eastern Continent, and a big client of our guild. "
After exchanging greetings with Silent Hymn, Ye Ci turned around, and noticed that the Rogue that accompanied her was nowhere to be seen. When did he leave? She did not even notice. Ye Ci smirked, "Your Rogues are pretty good. They're really good at stalking."
"Azure Wolf will be very happy if he knows that Gongzi You has such a high opinion of him." Silent Hymn had been observing Ye Ci's expression ever since she entered the room. Even though she did not express any emotions, Silent Hymn could sense that Gongzi You was a little disappointed that he was not around. He was not sure if he was right.
"Ah, I'm sorry. It was a last minute decision. We've just found your whereabouts, and Fleeting Time isn't around …" Absalom chuckled as he looked at Gongzi You with a teasing smile on his face.
Gongzi You's face darkened, and she pursed her lips, "Is that why you're looking for me? I'll be leaving then … "
Ye Ci turned around to leave, and Silent Hymn glared at Absalom. Does this idiot even know what he's supposed to say? Is this the time for gossip? He immediately called out to Ye Ci, "Gongzi You, I'm not looking for you for something so boring. I have something else to discuss with you."
Ye Ci finally turned around, but her expression did not look any better. Absalom, on the other hand, scratched his head awkwardly.
Why is Genesis looking for Gongzi You? Ye Ci's guess was right, it was indeed because of the Mithril ore vein. Because they wanted to …
"What? You want me to help you defend your city? " Ye Ci's eyes widened in disbelief, "Absalom, are you out of your mind, or am I having trouble hearing things? What are you planning?"
"You heard me right. We're building a city right outside the Mithril ore vein. We've already completed the quest, and have hired the construction workers. We'll be able to start construction as soon as I give the order. However, I'm sure that Golden Era is trying to find out more about the ore vein after the war. I'm sure that Golden Era will be able to find out more about it. I'm sure that they won't let this opportunity … "
Ye Ci shook her head, "Absalom, you're, Genesis is one of the top guilds in Fate. You're is a guild's elite. You're is more than enough to have your elite is is more than enough. I'm a player from an enemy continent … "
"You," Ye Ci, Ye Ci, "You," You, "You,"
Ye Ci stared at Absalom with an expressionless face, as if she knew what he was thinking, "That's impossible." Absalom did not have to wait for long before Ye Ci gave her answer.
Absalom seemed to have expected Ye Ci's answer. He sighed, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
"Say, Absalom, look at my red name. Do you really think that you're asking me to do something like that?" Ye Ci pulled down the hood of her cloak, revealing her face to Absalom, "Besides, we're enemies. Even if I agree to help you take care of Golden Era's smurf, have you ever thought that your own people would be attacked by the Dragon?"
"Of course we have. That's why we don't want you to be stationed near the city walls. We only want you to camp at the map's borders and the teleportation points." Absalom chuckled, "Think about it. Is there a better chance to farm Glory than this? You don't have a Dragon, and I was too embarrassed to ask for it. But now that you have a Dragon, can't you just fly over? "
Ye Ci sneered at Absalom's words, "Say, Absalom, don't you think that you've got it all planned out? You've even thought of something like this? "
"You're too kind." Absalom chuckled innocently, but a scheming glint flashed in his eyes when he turned around, "Actually, if we're talking about scheming, wasn't it part of your scheme when you gave us the location of the Mithril ore vein? I'm sure you know that you won't be able to devour all the Mithril ore veins in the four continents. So, why don't you do me a favor? It'll be good for you, good for me, good for you, good for all of us. Of course, I admit that you're sincere in joining forces with me against Golden Era. After all, we're a big guild, and Golden Era can easily target us. But compared to us, you guys Up Everyday are much easier to deal with. See, I'm right. Golden Era is the only guild in the four continents that has made a move against you guys Up Everyday. Even though you guys Up Everyday are small, you're still a famous guild in Fate. I'm sure you're aware that Golden Era is trying to make an example out of you … "
Ye Ci could not deny the fact that Absalom was right. But even if his analysis was accurate, Ye Ci could not help but feel annoyed. Ye Ci could sense a hint of threat in Absalom's tone. Even though Absalom did not have the power to threaten Ye Ci, Ye Ci was still annoyed by the fact that Absalom had the power to threaten Ye Ci. However, she still frowned and slowly opened her mouth.
"So? You're saying that … "
"So you've made a deal with me before. Why don't we make another one this time?"
A deal? Another deal? But Ye Ci did not like the word "deal" coming out of someone else's mouth. It meant that she no longer had the power to make a deal. She leaned back in her chair and smiled, "Let's see what kind of deal you're talking about. We'll decide if we're going to make a deal or not."
"While we're building the city's defenses, I need you to help us guard the Western Continent's Golden Age event. As long as the city's defenses are complete, we'll be fine. If you're willing to help me, I'll send 1000 elites to Upwards Ho! for one year. " Absalom chuckled, "You know that I'm taking a huge risk by sending a thousand elites to you for a year."
It was a very tempting deal. The 1,000 elites of Genesis were not something that could be compared to the elites of an ordinary guild. Furthermore, it was a year's time. Upwards Ho! would be able to grow to a whole new level in a year's time. It was a deal that Ye Ci, whose ambitions were beginning to grow, could not reject.
But no matter how tempted Ye Ci was, there was no way she would just accept Absalom's offer. No matter what, she had to fight for more benefits.
"You make it sound like a fair deal, but it doesn't sound like it at all." Ye Ci tapped her slender fingers lightly on the thick wooden table. The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were filled with a cunning glint.
"Hmm?" Absalom had a bad feeling when he saw Gongzi You's expression. The last time he saw that smile was when he first met her in the cave with a bonfire. Even though the fire was warm and the light was soft, it could not hide the coldness and cunning look in her eyes. Absalom immediately went on alert when he saw that look in her eyes again. This woman is not easy to deal with. She will not rest until she's done with you.
"You asked me to help you deal with Golden Era. Let's not talk about whether Golden Era will use the same tactic again. Even if they do, I'll be at the edge of the map and at the teleportation point for you. Golden Era will not say anything about Genesis, they will only focus all their firepower on me. Let's not even talk about the fact that you're putting me in danger without asking for help. Just the fact that you're trying to make me hate you … "Ye Ci's smile was plastered on her face, but her words were as sharp as knives, leaving no room for the other party's dignity.
Absalom was embarrassed by Ye Ci's words. He cleared his throat, "I'm not being unkind …"
"Why not? My Dragon is so eye-catching. If you can guess that it's mine, do you think Golden Era's Breeze can't do the same? Since you can guess it, it means that I, Gongzi You, have diverted all the firepower from Genesis to myself. Furthermore, I'm a member of Up Everyday, which means that I've diverted all the firepower from Genesis to myself. Our Up Everyday is not as powerful as Genesis. Our last victory was due to luck. Do you think we'll be lucky every time? Besides, Breeze is from the Eastern Continent. It's much easier for him to find trouble with me than with you. Tell me, if you're not being unkind, then what are you? " Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and laughed coldly, "You're too calculative. You want to exchange a thousand elites for such a huge loss? Do you think I'm so shallow that I'll exchange a thousand of your elites for a guild of Up Everyday? "
Before Absalom could say anything, Silent Hymn spoke up with a faint smile, "I didn't believe it when I heard that Gongzi You is a calculative person. It seems that you're not just an expert in the game, you're also an expert in business."
Ye Ci shifted her gaze to Silent Hymn. She did not respond to his words. Instead, she stared at him silently, waiting for him to continue.
"You're right. If you look at it from this perspective, it's indeed Genesis's fault. But …" Silent Hymn paused for a moment, and continued after seeing Ye Ci's raised eyebrow, "Isn't this all based on Golden Era's strategy of using numbers to overwhelm us? But as you said, Golden Era is such a big guild. They won't be so stupid as to use the same strategy twice. So, if they don't use the same strategy, we'll have to face them head-on in the end. Doesn't that mean you don't have to do anything? All you have to do is stay in the Western Continent for a few days in exchange for a thousand of our elites? Isn't this a good deal? "
Ye Ci stared at Silent Hymn for a long while before a grin appeared on her face, "Say, the leaders of Genesis, are you sure that I'll work with you?" she narrowed her eyes and leaned forward, "Are you sure that I'll work with you?"
"Why don't you cooperate with me? I believe that after the battle with Golden Era, you're more eager than anyone else to bring Upwards Ho! to the next level, and we're here to help you achieve your goal. "Silent Hymn was very confident about their cooperation.
Ye Ci chuckled, "The only reason you're here today is because I've given you the secret of the Mithril ore vein."
"Even if you don't give us the location or the secret, I believe that with Genesis's capabilities, we'll be able to find the Mithril ore vein sooner or later," Silent Hymn did not back down at all.
"But there's a chance that other guilds will find it. The battle between Golden Era and I will still happen if I don't provide it to you. Are the other guilds stupid enough to not look for it? "Ye Ci's smile was unfathomable, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Based on Genesis's capabilities, the chances of that happening are slim," Silent Hymn said confidently. Indeed, they were confident in their capabilities.
Ye Ci's smile suddenly turned eerie when she heard Silent Hymn's words. The eerie smile on her cold and distant face sent chills down anyone's spine. Silent Hymn had never dealt with Ye Ci before, but he knew that it was not easy to deal with her. He had to be careful, or else he would fall into her trap. When he saw Ye Ci's smile, he suddenly felt that he must have forgotten to check the almanac before he left the house. Otherwise, how could he have met Gongzi You?
"How can you be so sure that I've told you all the secrets about the Mithril ore vein?" And as expected, a terrifying sentence was spilled from Ye Ci's lips under her eerie smile …. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
