"The Blackwater Consortium?" Shifeng could not help his surprise when he heard the name. "Why are they here?"
The Blackwater Consortium was an international corporation. Aside from super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds, most wouldn't even spare a glance at it, not to mention Shi Feng and Shi Feng, who had clashed with the Guild many times.
"Guild Leader, our Guild's development in the Ore Empire has been improving rapidly recently. It is very likely that they are here to give us a warning," Shi Feng said after calming down. After calming her thoughts, Hei Zi said, "Let's just ignore them. Even if they are a major corporation, they can't do anything to us on the surface. As long as we prepare ourselves in secret, they won't have an easy time messing with us!"
"You're overthinking things. At the end of the day, Blackwater is a major corporation. They wouldn't bother coming here to give us a warning over a small matter like the Ore Empire. If other major corporations find out about this, they won't be able to afford the humiliation," Shi Feng said, chuckling. He then said, "Forget it. There's no point in us making wild guesses here. Let's go meet them."
Shi Feng knew a little about how major corporations operated.
If they really wanted to do anything to Shi Feng, they wouldn't send their representatives. They could just take action in secret.
Following which, Hei Zi led Shifeng to the top-floor reception room.
When they entered the room, Liang Jing, who had been receiving the Blackwater Consortium's representatives, appeared somewhat nervous. However, when she saw Shifeng, she relaxed slightly. After all, an international corporation was an unreachable existence to her in the past. Now, however, such a major corporation had actually sent representatives to deal with Ling Yi. Why wouldn't she be surprised?
In contrast, Shiuse Qiangwei remained relatively calm. As the Honorary Elder of a first-rate Guild and the Young Miss of a major corporation, he had experienced this kind of situation before.
There were two Blackwater representatives in the reception room. One of them was a middle-aged man in casual clothes. Although the man wasn't particularly tall, his every movement gave off an oppressive aura. The other representative was a tall man in a suit and tie standing behind the middle-aged man. It was obvious that he was the man's bodyguard. Although the man didn't radiate an imposing aura, as if he were a passerby, Shi Feng could tell that this bodyguard wasn't ordinary. In fact, the man even gave off a deadly aura.
"Hello, you must be Ling Yi's Elder Ye Feng, right? Sure enough, you are as young as the rumors say. Your future is limitless. Right, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Blackwater Consortium's Jing Yang. I am currently an Elder of the Blackwater Guild," the middle-aged man said, smiling as he scrutinized the Shifeng.
"Elder Jing Yang, may I know what your Guild wishes to discuss with Ling Yi?" Shifeng asked as he glanced at Jing Yang.
He had some impression of the name Jing Yang.
However, this impression was only in God's Domain, not the Blackwater Consortium in the real world.
The only reason he had an impression of Jing Yang was that he was a Tier 5 Grand Wizard. Although he did not have any combat achievements, a Tier 5 player was still a Tier 5 player, an existence that stood at the peak of God's Domain.
Shi Feng had never thought that the Blackwater Consortium would send such a bigshot over.
"What a straightforward question," Jing Yang said, chuckling. He then nodded and said, "Since that is the case, I'll get straight to the point. I am here as a representative of Blackwater's Xuanwu Chisa. Guild Leader Xuanwu thinks highly of Ling Yi. She is also aware of Ling Yi's financial difficulties. As long as Ling Yi is willing to sell ten Guardian Puppets, not only will we pay you a large sum of Credits, but we will also provide you with 50 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids. With these, you can nurture more experts in a short time."
"Fifty bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids?" Hei Zi's eyes nearly fell from their sockets when he heard this.
He had seen plenty of Credits with Shifeng, but S-rank Nutrient Fluids were a different story.
He was no longer a noob who knew nothing about God's Domain's training. Through the special training he had undergone and the S-rank Nutrient Fluids Shifeng had given him from time to time, he understood just how valuable S-rank Nutrient Fluids were. Not only did S-rank Nutrient Fluids greatly improve one's physique and brain, but they could also help players improve rapidly within a short time.
Moreover, S-rank Nutrient Fluids couldn't be bought with money. It wasn't something one could obtain easily.
The White Tiger Dojo's S-rank Nutrient Fluids had allowed them to improve so quickly. If they had another 50 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids, in addition to Ling Yi's current training environment, especially in the Extraordinary Tower, they could nurture a new batch of Refinement Realm experts within a short time.
"I see." Shifeng finally understood after hearing Jing Yang's suggestion.
Shi Feng had to admit that the Guardian Puppets had become famous after the battle in Moon Creek Town. Even Blackwater had begun eyeing the Guardian Puppets. However, since the Guardian Puppets couldn't be stolen, Blackwater had no choice but to purchase them. It had even gone as far as to offer S-rank Nutrient Fluids.
Chuckling, Jing Yang continued, "Now that the Auction Arena system has been activated, the various NPC cities have begun to compete for White River City's Auction Arena. As the only Promotion City in the region, White River City will naturally become the target of the various major powers. You can just imagine how intense the competition will be. Moreover, we've also heard that Starlink is furious with Zero Wing after the battle in Moon Creek Town. The Guild has already begun to prepare to compete for White River City's Auction House."
"If you are willing to sell ten Guardian Puppets, Vice Guild Leader Xuan Wu can help you secure White River City. What do you think of this proposal?"
Jing Yang's voice was gentle and tempting. He had grasped Ling Yi's weakness. Even Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood beside Ling Yi, felt that this was a worthwhile trade.
Aside from the 50 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids, the contest for White River City's Auction House would be a bitter struggle. Unlike field battles or siege battles, the contest for an NPC city's Auction House was a competition of experts and resources. Starlink had an overwhelming advantage over Zero Wing, which lacked in this regard.
Moreover, Ling Yi was currently in dire need of funds. If Shi Feng could invest a large sum of money into the Ling YI Society, he could nurture a group of Refinement Realm experts with the help of the S-rank Nutrient Fluids. With the help of Xuanwu Chisha, Blackwater's Vice Guild Leader, securing White River City's Auction House would be a cinch.
Seeing the tempted expressions on Shiuse Qiangwei and Hei Zi's faces, Jing Yang wasn't surprised in the slightest. His offer was very generous, and it was exactly what Ling Yi needed right now. Now, all he needed to do was sign a contract.
