Shifeng's words silenced the reception room. Aside from Jing Yang, even Shiuse Qiangwei stared at Shifeng in confusion.
"Why?" Jing Yang could not help but ask after taking a deep breath, "Why?"
Blackwater's offer was extremely generous. As long as Shi Feng accepted it, he would be able to elevate Ling Yi's strength to a whole new level. No other Guild would refuse such an offer. Moreover, it was a good thing for Shi Feng to reconcile with Blackwater. After all, in God's Domain, it was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, not to mention a colossus like Blackwater.
The Guardian Puppet was a powerful war weapon. Whether it was used to defend or attack a city, it was a first-rate war weapon. However, it was only powerful for now. It was only effective against Tier 2 players. However, as players reached Tier 3 and gained better weapons and equipment, the Guardian Puppet would become less effective. At best, the Guardian Puppet would serve as a tanky Tier 3 combatant.
In his opinion, Shifeng should've gladly accepted Shi Feng's offer and signed the contract as soon as possible.
What kind of power was Blackwater? The fact that it had personally visited Ling Yi's headquarters was already giving Ling Yi a lot of face. Other first-rate Guilds didn't even qualify for a personal visit from Blackwater, yet Ling Yi actually dared to refuse such kindness.
"There's no reason. Your Guild's offer is simply too cheap, so we don't wish to sell," Shifeng said calmly.
"Cheap?" Jing Yang was stunned. Whispering, he asked, "How much do you want, then?"
"Aside from the Credits, we want 100 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids and ten high-potential Shops in large NPC cities," Shifeng said after giving the matter some thought.
When Aqua Rose and Blackie heard this, they couldn't help but gape.
One hundred bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids!
Most likely, not even the entire White Tiger Dojo had so many S-rank Nutrient Fluids. Even first-rate Guilds backed by large corporations wouldn't have so many.
Even Blackwater would feel the pinch if it offered so many S-rank Nutrient Fluids.
Needless to say, the high-potential Shops in large NPC cities were extremely valuable right now. Ten high-potential Shops were worth at least 100,000 Gold.
"Are you crazy?" Jing Yang asked the Shifeng. "Do you know how much 100 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids and 10 high-potential Shops in NPC cities cost?"
He felt that Shifeng was challenging his bottom line.
One hundred bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids was one thing, but the Shops in ten large NPC cities with high potential were a joke.
At the end of the day, the Guardian Puppet was a Tier 3 item. As players reached higher levels, its value would decrease. However, the Shops in large NPC cities were different. As players reached higher levels and time passed, their value would only increase. After all, more and more players were playing God's Domain right now. With these high-potential Shops, players could earn a steady income. Even if they didn't rent out their Shops, they could still earn a considerable income.
One could say that Guardian Puppets were on an entirely different level compared to high-potential Shops in large NPC cities. Even three or four Guardian Puppets weren't worth as much as a high-potential Shop in a large NPC city. Not to mention, trading one Guardian Puppet for a high-potential Shop would cost so much.
"Elder Jing Yang must be joking." Shifeng could not help but chuckle when he saw Jing Yang's anger. "If Elder Jing Yang is unable to accept my offer, we can discuss it further."
While Shi Feng had indeed sold the Guardian Puppets at a much higher price than normal, the ten Guardian Puppets were indeed worth the price at this stage of the game. With ten Guardian Puppets, a single Guardian Puppet could not compare to their combat power. Capturing a Guild Town with ten Guardian Puppets would be child's play for the Guardian Puppets. The Guardian Puppets would even be of great help when competing for neutral map towns.
If not for his lack of S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Credits, as well as the fact that he could continue to produce Guardian Puppets, he wouldn't have chosen to sell his Guardian Puppets at this time. After all, producing ten Guardian Puppets wasn't easy. The materials required were all very rare.
"Young man, don't be too greedy. If you gain Blackwater's friendship, Ling Yi's future will be much smoother. As for the high-potential Shops in large NPC cities, don't even think about it. I'll give you 70 bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids in addition to the previous conditions," Jing Yang said after calming himself down. He then looked at Shifeng and made his final offer.
"Take care! I won't be seeing you out!" Shifeng said.
"You … Very good! However, don't regret it when the time comes! Let's go! " Jing Yang nearly coughed up blood when he heard this. He then stood up and left, not wanting to linger in Ling Yi's headquarters for even a moment longer.
After Jing Yang left, both Shiuse Qiangwei and Liang Jing were stupefied.
They only had one word for Shifeng's performance.
Domineering!
Too domineering!
In the face of the Blackwater Consortium's temptations and threats, Shi Feng had remained completely unmoved. Seventy bottles of S-rank Nutrient Fluids!
Elsewhere, after Jing Yang left Ling Yi's headquarters, he contacted Xuanwu Chisha immediately.
"What an interesting person." Xuanwu Chisha could not help but smile when she heard Jing Yang's report. "Ling Yi is still stubbornly holding on to the Guardian Puppet even after such a long time."
"Vice Guild Leader, in my opinion, the Ling Yi Society isn't worthy of your attention. They don't know that Starlink isn't the only Guild targeting them. Many superpowers have been secretly eyeing White River City for a long time now, yet they still want to sell the Guardian Puppet for a high price. Don't they know that I'm giving them a lifeline? They'll regret it when the time comes," Jing Yang said, sneering.
In reality, he had two goals for visiting Ling Yi's headquarters. The first was to discuss the trade, and the second was to see if Ling Yi was worth becoming his puppet. However, it would seem that Ling Yi's members were just a bunch of fools who didn't know what was good for them.
"Alright, return for now. There are still many things you need to do," Xuanwu Chisha said, disconnecting the call.
After the meeting with Blackwater came to an end, the Shifeng listened to Shiuse Qiangwei and Hei Zi's report on Ling Yi's current situation.
Currently, Ling Yi was developing rapidly, especially with the number of players the Guild had recruited. After such a short time, Ling Yi had recruited over 400,000 elite players and over 4,000 expert players in Starmoon Kingdom. The Guild's growth rate was simply frightening.
He had to admit that Ling Yi's fame had spread rapidly after the battle in Witch's Hill and Moon Creek Town. This was why so many elite and expert players, who had been wavering, had decided to join Ling Yi.
In addition, after training in the Extraordinary Tower, Fire Dance, Ke Le, and the others had split up to raid 100-man Team Dungeons. Their raiding speed in Level 60 Team Dungeons was considerably fast, and it would only take a few days for them to secure the First Clear of the various Level 60, 100-man teams in Starmoon Kingdom.
Only, Ling Yi's lack of funds continued to give Shiuse Qiangwei and Hei Zi headaches.
Shifeng had no choice but to rent out Ling Yi's Shops in Starmoon Kingdom using Credits to reduce the inflow of Coins and increase their income to alleviate Ling Yi's lack of Credits.
