Upon hearing Fang Shihan's words, Liang Jing, who stood behind Shifeng, paled.
In God's Domain, just selling Stone Forest City would be more than enough to ruin Ling Yi, not to mention the Divine Transformation Technique.
After all, more than half of Ling Yi's income came from Stone Forest City. Moreover, it was also thanks to the city that so many independent experts wanted to join Ling Yi. It was no exaggeration to say that Stone Forest City had already become an indispensable part of Ling Yi's life. Without Stone Forest City, Ling Yi couldn't even begin to imagine what would become of Ling Yi.
However, if he didn't hand over the Divine Transformation Technique, Ling Yi's situation would be equally troublesome.
While the Divine Transformation Technique wouldn't cause any problems in God's Domain, it would be a piece of cake for the Divine Transformation Technique to take action in Fenglin City.
"President Hei Yan, I know that this isn't an easy decision, but if Ling Yi doesn't have enough S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions, wouldn't it be difficult for him to improve in the future?" Fang Shihan asked, smiling at Shifeng. "As a grandmaster, I believe that you know this better than anyone."
God's Domain was different from other virtual reality games. The development of players' brains in God's Domain was extraordinary. As players reached higher tiers, their brain activity would increase as well. This discovery had excited everyone. However, at the same time, the energy players needed to develop their brains also increased.
Of course, the various superpowers hadn't noticed this in the beginning. However, as the various superpowers' peak experts improved rapidly, the energy expenditure alone gave many superpowers headaches. It wasn't something that ordinary powers could afford, not to mention Ling Yi.
Meanwhile, S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions were extremely rare on the market. If the demand wasn't high enough, one could purchase them with a few Credits. However, if the demand was too high, one wouldn't be able to purchase them even if they had enough Credits.
"You're right. The S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions are what Ling Yi needs the most right now. They are even more troublesome than external harassment or manipulation," Shifeng said, nodding in agreement.
After becoming a grandmaster, ordinary S-rank Nutrient Fluids weren't enough to keep one's body and mind in peak condition. Only Life Potions could do so.
It wouldn't be a big deal if he were alone. However, if Ling Yi's members wished to improve and reach a higher tier, they would need S-rank Nutrient Fluids.
In other words, if Ling Yi couldn't obtain a large supply of S-rank Nutrient Fluids or Life Potions, even if the various superpowers didn't secretly target Ling Yi, they'd surpass him sooner or later. Not to mention, the various superpowers wouldn't be so obedient. Every one of them would want nothing more than to chew Ling Yi's bones and increase their own strength.
"Guild Leader?" Liang Jing's expression changed drastically when she heard Shi Feng's words.
If they sold Stone Forest City now, Ling Yi would suffer a massive loss in God's Domain. After all, Stone Forest City was one of the few Guild Cities in God's Domain located in Level 100 neutral maps. Without it, Ling Yi's members would have a much harder time leveling up.
Matt and White Feather chuckled at Shi Feng's words.
"At least this kid knows what's good for him. Stone Forest City and the Transcendent Realm technique are still very valuable. He can sell them for a good price. Once the various superpowers find out about this, I doubt anyone will want to buy them," Matt whispered to Shifeng.
In Fenglin City, a neutralizing grandmaster was indeed a hegemon, an influential figure.
However, such experts were only effective against ordinary powers. They weren't particularly effective against major corporations. Furthermore, without sufficient S-rank Nutrient Fluids or Life Potions, Ling Yi's peak experts would have a very difficult time getting promoted. After all, maintaining such a high level of brain activity required a lot of energy. A-rank Nutrient Fluids simply couldn't make up for the loss.
Due to this incident, the various superpowers had resorted to various means to compete for S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions. As a result, S-rank Nutrient Fluids had become incredibly difficult to obtain on the market.
"If President Hei Yan has made up your mind, we can sign a contract right now," Fang Shihan said, smiling.
"No, there's no need for a contract," Shifeng said, shaking his head. "I won't sell Stone Forest City and the Transcendent Realm technique."
As soon as Shifeng finished speaking, the room fell silent. Matt and White Feather stared at Shifeng in astonishment.
They felt as if Shifeng had lost his mind.
Did he not know how terrible Ling Yi's current situation was?
"President Hei Yan, you need to think this through. If you miss this opportunity, even if you want to sell Stone Forest City and the Transcendent Realm technique in the future, I'm afraid that we won't offer you the same price again," Fang Shihan said, looking at Shi Feng. Fang Shihan was a little surprised when she heard Shi Feng's words. "At that time, Zero Wing will face far more trouble than you can imagine!"
Mythology was Ling Yi's only hope of survival right now. This was why Fang Shihan was confident that Shifeng wouldn't refuse her offer unless Shifeng wanted to destroy Ling Yi. After all, without a large supply of S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to survive for long.
"Thank you for your concern. If the various superpowers intend to take action in secret, I don't mind teaching them a lesson," Shifeng said calmly.
Ling Yi was no longer the same as before. This was especially true after he had become a grandmaster. Because of this, he no longer cared about exposing his identity. After all, it wasn't easy to deal with a grandmaster in secret.
"Alright, then. Since President Hei Yan has put it this way, we'll take our leave," Fang Shihan said. Seeing Shi Feng's unmoved expression, Fang Shihan stood up and left the reception room without another word.
After leaving the room, Matt couldn't help asking Fang Shihan.
"Vice Guild Leader, are we leaving just like that?"
The old instructor had given them a chance to obtain the Transcendent Realm technique. If they left now, it wouldn't be easy for them to obtain the technique in the future.
"Relax. Ling Yi won't last long. He might think that he's strong enough to protect himself after becoming a grandmaster, but he doesn't know that the various superpowers aren't as simple as he thinks. He also doesn't know how crazy the various superpowers are right now," Fang Shihan said, chuckling. "It won't be long before he comes looking for us. There's no need for us to rush."
"You're right." After giving the matter some thought, Matt nodded and fell silent.
The various corporations backing the various superpowers had invested a lot of resources to secure their own profits in God's Domain. In addition, many of God's Domain's superpowers were already on the brink of elimination. This situation made these superpowers even crazier.
With a piece of fresh meat like Ling Yi before them, it was easy to imagine what these starving superpowers would do.
After Fang Shihan and the others left, only Shifeng and Liang Jing remained in the room.
"What should we do, Guild Leader? Once Fang Shihan returns, news of your identity being exposed will definitely spread to the various superpowers, "Liang Jing asked anxiously as she looked at Shifeng.
Although Ling Yi had managed to protect Stone Forest City, he would have to deal with an even bigger problem in the future.
"It's good that I've been exposed. If they want to spread the news, so be it. What we need to do won't change," Shifeng said calmly.
"What do we need to do?" Liang Jing asked curiously as she looked at Shifeng's calm expression.
"Make money!" Shifeng said, chuckling.
Not only did he need money to develop his Guild in God's Domain, but he also needed to purchase S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions. Without money, everything he said would be pointless.
Currently, it was practically impossible for Ling Yi to obtain S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions from other sources. Fortunately, he had an auction invitation from the Green God Company, which allowed him to participate in the Guild's auction. This was also the only way for Ling Yi to obtain a large number of potions.
However, the highest bidder would win the auction. The various superpowers desperately needed S-rank Nutrient Fluids and Life Potions. Without a large number of Credits, he wouldn't have any chance of obtaining them.
Hence, what he needed to do now was make money.
"Make money?" Liang Jing shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for now. The various superpowers have been suppressing Ling Yi all this time, so we don't have any resources at hand. We have no choice but to rely on ourselves. However, the resources we've obtained are barely enough for our own use. Moreover, due to the various superpowers' sneak attacks, the number of players in Stone Forest City has dwindled. In addition, the Faux Saint army has occupied nearly half of the Starmoon Kingdom.
"Relax. That was in the past," Shifeng said, chuckling.
After saying so, Shifeng had Liang Jing replenish the Nutrient Fluids in his virtual gaming cabin. After stretching his body and eating some food, he logged back into God's Domain without hesitation.
After Shifeng appeared in Silverwing Town, Shifeng called up his system interface and chose to promote Silverwing Town.
Immediately, the sound of a system notification rang out in the ears of every player in Silverwing Town. They were then teleported out of the town one after another.
