Ever since Shifeng's brain activity had improved, his intuition had also become extraordinarily sharp.
Although the white-robed man before him had concealed himself very well, he was like a calm sea that could contain everything, giving off a comfortable feeling. Before this person, Shifeng couldn't even muster the slightest bit of hostility.
However, it was precisely because of this that Shifeng found this man frightening.
Shi Feng's perception had been honed through countless life-and-death experiences in God's Domain. This was especially true after his brain activity had increased. It would be even more difficult to bypass his perception and put him in a relaxed state.
Yet, the white-robed man's every move could easily break through his senses.
If the white-robed man wanted to attack him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Young man, you're not bad. It's no wonder why you managed to become one of Ling YI Society's upper echelons at such a young age. Ling Yi really has hidden herself well," the white-robed man said in a friendly tone. Looking at Xiang Shifeng, he said kindly, "Right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yuan Tiexin, an Elder of the Secret Pavilion."
"Shifeng, haven't you been playing God's Domain all this time? Uncle Yuan is an expert of the virtual gaming world's older generation. He might not be as skilled as you, but his gaming standards are much better than yours. This is a good opportunity for you to learn from him. " Noticing Shifeng's surprised gaze, Zhao Ruoxi's lips curled into a smile. In the past, Shifeng had always been incredibly calm, always grasping the initiative. Now that she saw Shifeng panic, she couldn't help but feel a little pleased.
Shifeng was speechless as he looked at Zhao Ruoxi's pleased expression.
Yuan Tiexin was a true hidden expert. Whether it was in fighting or gaming, Yuan Tiexin far surpassed him.
Although Shi Feng had played God's Domain for ten years, it wasn't a game where those who had played for a longer time were necessarily stronger than those who had not. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people stuck at Tier 2 and unable to get promoted to Tier 3 even after God's Domain had been launched for ten years. One also had to rely on luck, talent, and hard work.
In the real world, there were plenty of people. Some people lived their entire lives in obscurity, while others only spent a few years to reach heights others could never hope to reach.
It was the same in the God Realm.
The Shifeng was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible in Divine Dominion. He was just using the information he had learned in the past to obtain some opportunities more easily than others.
"Ruoxin, you're praising me too much. I only came here because I heard that Ruoxin would be bringing a decent young man with her today. Moreover, he is one of Zero Wing's upper echelons. That's why I wanted to come and take a look. If you want to give me advice, I'm not that amazing. Just call me Uncle Yuan." Yuan Tiexin shook his head and laughed.
Although Yuan Tiexin spoke casually, the Shifeng did not dare to be careless.
The Secret Pavilion was not a small Guild. Everyone in the virtual gaming world knew about it. The Secret Pavilion was a major power that specialized in reselling and collecting information about various games. One could tell how powerful the Secret Pavilion was just by looking at the God's Domain Experts List.
"Uncle Yuan, you've always said that Shifeng are the higher-ups of Ling YI Society. Is Ling YI Society that powerful?" Zhao Ruoxi asked curiously.
Zhao Jianhua, who sat beside Zhao Ruoxi, was also very interested in this matter.
Yuan Tiexin had spoken about Ling Yi multiple times. He had even praised the Shifeng for their future. This was the first time Zhao Jianhua had seen Yuan Tiexin doing something like this.
Although Zhao Jianhua did not come into contact with virtual reality games, he knew that Yuan Tiexin held a very high position in the virtual gaming world.
After God's Domain became popular, Yuan Tiexin's status had risen even higher. Many international corporations had contacted Yuan Tiexin and even tried to befriend him. Although the Zhao Group had some status and wealth in Jin Hai City, it was nothing compared to these international corporations. The Zhao Group did not even qualify to be acquainted with them. Yet, Yuan Tiexin had been roped in by these people.
Zhao Jianhua was truly surprised that Yuan Tiexin had been invited to Zhao Ruoxi's birthday party today.
He knew that Yuan Tiexin's itinerary today was to meet with the higher-ups of an international corporation. Yet, Yuan Tiexin had come to Jin Hai City.
It was impossible that Yuan Tiexin had specifically come to save face.
The only possibility was Shifeng.
Thinking up to this point, Zhao Jianhua sighed inwardly. However, he was also very happy.
"You guys don't play God's Domain, so you might not know this, but Ling Yi Society is currently a popular Guild in the virtual gaming world. Many parties are paying attention to it. Based on what I know, OSC has set its sights on Ling Yi. They have even offered a high price to invest in Ling Yi. However, Ling Yi rejected their offer," Yuan Tiexin sighed.
"OSC? Is that the OSC that focuses on new energy sources?" Zhao Jianhua couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to confirm if the Open Source Corporation was the same corporation he knew of.
"Mhm. I was shocked when I heard this news. I never thought that youngsters nowadays would be so driven. Many Guilds would dream of receiving OSC's funding. This is the first time I've heard of someone rejecting such an offer," Yuan Tiexin said, nodding. Smiling, Yuan Tiexin nodded and said, "My first reason for coming here is to meet Ruoxin. The second reason is to meet Zero Wing's upper echelon. I hope that I can introduce Zero Wing's incomparably mysterious Guild Leader, Black Flame. May I know if I may have the honor?"
Zhao Jianhua and Zhao Ruoxi were dumbfounded when they heard Yuan Tiexin's words. They then turned to look at the Shifeng beside them.
OSC's funding was already shocking enough. They never thought that Yuan Tiexin would come here just to get a Shifeng's recommendation …
For a time, Zhao Jianhua and Zhao Ruoxi's minds went blank.
However, as the person involved, Shifeng calmly said, "Since Uncle Yuan wishes to meet the Guild Leader, I will do my best to contact the Guild Leader. However, the Guild Leader has always been very busy, so I cannot guarantee that he will meet you. I hope that Uncle Yuan will forgive me."
"Of course. I also have a message that I hope you can pass on to President Hei Yan as soon as possible. The Flower of Seven Sins has already taken action," Yuan Tiexin said confidently. "I believe that President Hei Yan will want to meet with the Flower of Seven Sins once he receives this news."
When Shifeng heard that the Flower of Seven Sins had taken action, his heart shuddered involuntarily, his expression turning grim.
There was no need to doubt the Secret Pavilion's information.
Since the Flower of Seven Sins had already taken action, it meant that Exemplary Willow was willing to pay the Flower of Seven Sins' price.
Shiuse Qiangwei had previously told him that the Guild's upper echelons had grown very quickly. Already, three of them had reached the eighth floor, seven had reached the seventh floor, and the remaining members were only at the late stage of the sixth floor. To convince the Flower of Seven Sins to take action, the price was absolutely unacceptable.
"Has that woman lost her mind?" No matter how Shifeng thought about it, he could not believe that this was a good deal. "Unless …"
