Hearing Shi Feng's words, Anna immediately left the President's Office to invite Starstreak Trading Firm's President, Henry.
After watching Anna leave, Shifeng casually flipped through the documents on the table.
These documents contained the Starstreak Trading Firm's business listings, including purchasing and exporting goods. However, Anna had arranged everything in an orderly manner.
An NPC with 91 Wisdom was extremely rare. If such an NPC could be converted into a guard, their potential would be frightening.
Hence, Shifeng wanted to negotiate with Henry.
The quests issued by NPCs were not without leeway. Only, it depended on the player's strength.
Previously, they had agreed to give Shi Feng a Tier 4 Magic Scroll in return, allowing him to easily enter the Dark Den and retrieve the Bible of Darkness.
However, Shifeng still felt that something was amiss.
No matter how he looked at it, managing the Starstreak Trading Firm was only a part of an Epic Quest. Yet, the final reward was only a tool for the next phase. What was the difference between this and no reward at all?
Hence, Shi Feng felt that he could strive for it. There might even be a Mysterious-Rank item among the rewards.
Especially his assistant, Anna.
After the battle with the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, the various large Guilds of God's Domain were all thinking of ways to obtain some powerful guards.
However, how could powerful guards be so easy to find?
Take Anna for example. She was an extremely powerful guard. However, who would have thought that such a weak and young woman would be a guard with such high potential?
If Shifeng had not seen Anna's Attributes by chance, he would never have thought that she was so powerful.
If Anna were to become an Adventurer, with her intelligence, her potential would definitely be frightening. Although she would not be as strong as Kite, she might even become a Fine-Gold Guard.
Dark-Gold Guards were legends throughout God's Domain. As far as Shifeng knew, only a few players had managed to obtain a Dark-Gold Guard. Most players only had Bronze and Mysterious-Iron Guards. Finding a Secret-Silver Guard was already a stroke of luck, not to mention a Fine-Gold Guard.
Although Fine-Gold Guards were not invincible against monsters of the same level and tier, they were still much stronger against monsters of the same tier. Dealing with players of the same level and tier would be a piece of cake. Not to mention, Anna was a magical class.
Most NPCs in God's Domain were physical classes. Magical classes were very rare.
Unlike physical classes, magical classes could not be used to deal with Bosses. They could only be used to support the Boss.
However, to a Guild, magical classes were far more valuable than physical classes.
This was because magic-based NPCs were capable of many AOE Spells and large-scale destruction Spells. In Guild Wars or in the fields, magic-based NPCs were terrifying existences. Hence, the various large Guilds would prioritize magical class NPCs as Personal Guards.
Hence, on the market, a Bronze ranked magical class Guard was worth as much as a Mysterious-Iron ranked physical class Guard.
If Anna was a Fine-Gold Mage, her value wouldn't be below Kite's.
"No matter what, we have to get Anna." Shifeng was excited just thinking about it.
As a Viscount, Shi Feng only had two Personal Guards. One was a Dark-Gold physical-class player, while the other was a Fine-Gold magical-class player. If Shi Feng were to bring his two Personal Guards out in the past, he would definitely be shocked to death.
Just the presence of these two Personal Guards was enough. Defeating a Wild SS of the same level was a piece of cake.
Shifeng only waited for a moment in the magnificent President's office. Then, the dignified and elegant President Henry walked in.
However, a Level 180, Tier 3 Berserker followed behind President Henry.
Shifeng could not help but frown.
Whether it was among players or NPCs, Tier 3 players were considered powerful existences. In White River City, Tier 3 players were overlords.
Although the Starstreak Trading Firm was one of the top trading firms in White River City, it definitely wasn't powerful enough to hire a Level 180 Berserker King as a guard.
"Your Excellency Ye Feng, you have truly surprised me. I never thought that you would actually complete the quest so quickly, "President Henry said with a smile. "Let me introduce you. Beside me is the Berserker King Schneider. He is an expert that our trading firm has specially invited from the Starmoon Kingdom to annihilate the Black Scorpion Corps."
"Greetings, Your Excellency Schneider. I am Adventurer Ye Feng, "Shifeng introduced himself.
However, the Berserker King only glanced at Shifeng, not saying a word. He had no intention of making Shifeng's acquaintance at all.
Shifeng was not angered by the Berserker King's words. In reality, NPCs in God's Domain were no different from real people. NPCs like the Tier 3 Berserker King were all big shots in a city. A Tier 1 player like himself was no different from an ant.
Humans would not talk to ants. Hence, it was normal for Schneider to have such an attitude.
In the past, Shifeng had even been robbed by a Tier 4 NPC while he was at the peak of Tier 3. It could be said that Shifeng had long since grown accustomed to such occurrences.
Of course, if Shifeng were a Tier 3 player right now, Schneider definitely wouldn't treat him with such an attitude.
In previous virtual reality games, NPCs were always separated from players. It felt as if they lived in a different world. However, God's Domain's NPCs were vivid and lifelike. If one really treated these NPCs as stupid and useless things, then these NPCs would let one fully understand what it meant to be laughed at.
"May I know what Your Excellency Ye Feng wishes to discuss with me?" President Henry asked nonchalantly. Instead, he looked at Xiang Shifeng and asked.
"I wish to make a deal with you, President Henry." Shifeng smiled. "During this period, I have been busy managing the Starstreak Trading Firm, and Miss Anna has helped me a lot. Now, I have finally fulfilled my expectations and completed my goal of 30,000 Gold. Hence, I wish to recruit Miss Anna as my assistant. Of course, I am willing to pay a sufficient price.
"Aside from the 30,000 Gold you asked for, I am willing to pay an additional 3,000 Gold. What do you think, President Henry?"
Hearing Shifeng's words, Anna, who stood beside him, was stunned. Her small mouth gaped open as she stared at Shifeng in disbelief. The high-ranking NPCs in the Starstreak Trading Firm only earned a few Gold per month, yet Shifeng actually offered 3,000 Gold to poach her.
Anna wasn't the only one shocked. Even Schneider, who had ignored Shifeng's offer, was stunned.
Even a Tier 3 Berserker King like him, who had been hired to deal with the Black Scorpion Corps, was only offered 1,000 Gold. That was enough for him to purchase an Epic item to increase his strength. Of course, if he could retrieve all the goods he had purchased, he could earn quite a bit more. However, even then, he wouldn't be able to earn 3,000 Gold.
At this moment, Schneider no longer treated Shifeng as an ant. His gaze towards Shifeng had also softened considerably.
President Henry narrowed his eyes, carefully sizing up Shifeng.
After a short moment, President Henry sighed. He then smiled and said, "Your Highness Ye Feng, it is not that I do not wish to let Anna go. Rather, our Starstreak Trading Firm cannot do without Anna. Just like how Your Highness Ye Feng has taken a liking to Anna's talent, it is because of Anna that our Starstreak Trading Firm has its current status. Please forgive me for not agreeing."
"Five thousand Gold!" Without hesitation, Shifeng shouted out a new offer.
To NPCs, this price was an astronomical sum.
It was enough for the Starstreak Trading Firm to hire several hundred high-ranking NPCs.
"This … isn't good, right? Look at how much profit Anna brings to our Starstreak Trading Firm every day. For the sake of the Starstreak Trading Firm, I cannot refuse," President Henry said, appearing to be in a difficult position.
Merchants pursued profits!
Whether it was in the real world or in the virtual world, it was the same.
"Six thousand Gold. I can't go any higher. If it really doesn't work, I can only hire Schneider's husband to snatch Anna's contract," Shifeng said as he glanced at Schneider beside him, grinning. (To be continued.)
