Despite Shifeng's long explanation, Sinned Heart remained silent, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
"Is the initial funding not enough?" Shifeng could not help but ask when he saw Sinned Heart's hesitation.
He did not particularly care about funding.
Although he was currently short on money, with this Bronze Engineering Locomotive Design, he would have a much easier time earning money. The only problem was that he needed a large number of Advanced Lifestyle players.
Producing a Bronze Engineering Locomotive was not easy. Not only was the production process complicated, but it was also different from forging weapons and equipment. It required the cooperation of many people. Aside from a large number of engineers, forgers and alchemists were also required to produce the various components. It required a professional team.
For the current Candlelight, it would be very difficult to mass-produce Engineering Locomotives unless they stopped doing anything else and focused solely on producing Engineering Locomotives.
Perhaps it was because Sinned Heart had seen through this that he refused to sell the design.
In the past, the Twin Towers Kingdom had not been invaded by abyssal monsters. At the very least, Guilds had a stable place to develop and nurture their own Advanced Lifestyle players. However, that was most likely not the case now. Otherwise, Sinned Heart would not have sold him his only opportunity.
"No, it is more than enough. Only …" Sinned Heart looked at Shifeng. After some hesitation, he said, "There is something I don't understand. I have only met Brother Ye Feng by chance, and I also have a grudge against King's Return. Why would Brother Ye Feng be willing to do such a thing? Our Immortal Light is merely an upstart Guild that can't even compare to a third-rate Guild. It shouldn't be worth the price Ling YI Society is willing to pay. Can you tell me the reason? "
It would be a lie to say that Sinned Heart was not tempted by the initial funding. Even a first-rate Guild would be shocked, much less him.
Moreover, what did Immortal Light have to offer?
Not to mention, he had no fame in the virtual gaming world. The same went for his brothers. Ling Yi was not worth the price.
"You want me to tell you the truth?" Shifeng asked, chuckling.
"If Brother Ye Feng is willing to tell me." Sinned Heart felt as if he were dreaming. Naturally, he had to get to the bottom of this. If Shifeng's goal was the same as Hell Fiend's, he would never agree to it.
"Alright, then. Since you wish to hear it, I'll tell you. There are three reasons for this. The first is that the Ling YI Society needs to expand its influence in other countries. However, Ling Yi's name is too eye-catching, and it will be very easy for them to target it. This is especially true for the major powers of God's Domain. Ling Yi has already taken root in the Starmoon Kingdom. It will be very difficult for the major powers of God's Domain to shake Ling Yi. Even if they could, the price they would have to pay would far outweigh the benefits. None of the major powers of God's Domain would do such a thing. However, if Ling Yi wished to develop in other countries, it would be very difficult. Hence, Ling Yi needs to develop a Subsidiary Guild, and Immortal Light just so happens to meet this condition.
"The second reason is your character and potential. I can tell that you haven't been playing virtual reality games for long. To put it in another way, God's Domain might be the first virtual reality game that you and your friends have played. You have grown so strong in such a short time, and you have even provoked a Super Guild. Ordinary experts would find it very difficult to provoke a Super Guild. After all, they are on completely different levels. This is extremely rare in God's Domain.
"The third reason is this Bronze Forging Design. It can provide Ling YI Society with a significant income."
Shifeng was telling the truth about all three of these reasons.
If the Ling YI Society wanted to expand, it was necessary for it to expand into other countries. Shifeng had considered this matter many times.
Sinned Heart and his companions would become first-rate experts in God's Domain in the future. Not to mention tens of thousands of Gold, even hundreds of thousands of Gold would be worth it. However, Sinned Heart himself was not aware of this.
"Of course, my generous offer comes with conditions," Shifeng said, changing the subject. "If Immortal Light fails to take control of three or four major cities within two months after receiving these funds, the Ling YI Society will have to take control of Immortal Light. After all, our Coins and Magic Crystals don't grow on trees."
Hearing Shi Feng's words, Sinned Heart's vigilant expression disappeared. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, that won't be a problem. I can assure you that, after receiving this much initial funding, we will take control of four major NPC cities within two months. If we fail, I won't be able to face you again, Brother Ye Feng," Sinned Heart promised, patting his chest as he looked at Shifeng seriously.
Shifeng could only shake his head and laugh at Sinned Heart's words.
He had only wanted to return the favor from his previous life and recruit Sinned Heart. He had never imagined that Sinned Heart would suspect him and demand harsh conditions before agreeing …
There were only so many major cities in a country. Now that God's Domain had been open for so long, other Guilds had already taken control of most of the major cities. Even a second-rate Guild would struggle to take control of four major cities within two months, not to mention Immortal Light, which had lost its foundation.
However, this did not matter. Regardless of whether Sinned Heart succeeded or not, the Ling YI Society would still make a profit.
Following which, Shifeng and Sinned Heart signed a contract. Shifeng spent 20,000 Gold to purchase the Bronze Engineering Locomotive Design and 3,000 Gold to purchase five plots of Land in Snow Field City. These prices were much lower than the cost of the Engineering Locomotive.
Sinned Heart looked at Shifeng with gratitude. He had never thought that Shifeng would be so trustworthy.
Even if those Lands were offered for free, nobody would want them, much less 3,000 Gold. After all, once one obtained the Lands, they would still have to pay a monthly management fee to NPCs. Who would want them?
However, Shifeng did not think so. On the contrary, he felt that he had profited greatly.
At the end of the day, the Abyss Invasion was only an expansion pack. It was only a matter of time before it was dealt with. Although not all NPC cities would return to their former glory, as one of the top ten cities in the Twin Towers Kingdom, it was only a matter of time before it returned to its former glory. Only, while other Guilds couldn't afford to wait that long, Zero Wing could.
Moreover, aside from being able to sell them for a high price in the future, Shi Feng still had great use for those five plots of Lands. When the time came, he could earn a lot of money. Aside from the Bronze Motorcycles, those five plots of Lands in Snow Field City were the most profitable.
After Shifeng completed his transaction with Sinned Heart, Shifeng immediately made his way to Candlelight. However, just as he was about to begin work on the Engineering Locomotive, Shiuse Qiangwei suddenly called him.
"Guild Leader, I've found Hell Fiend. He is currently in the Glory Empire's Light City. Here are his current coordinates," Shiuse Qiangwei said as he sent Hell Fiend's location to Shifeng.
"They sure are fast." Shifeng could not help but smile when he saw the coordinates. "However, even if he stays in Light City, it will be useless."
