Chapter 1 The Silence

Shi Feng's words immediately silenced the entire reception room. Not only Jing Yang's eyes flashed with astonishment, but even Aqua Rose on the side looked at Shi Feng in confusion.

"Why?" Jing Yang took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.

The conditions they, Blackwater, offered could be said to be very generous. As long as Zero Wing accepted, it could immediately be raised to a new level. Any guild would probably not refuse. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to reconcile with their Blackwater Guild. After all, in God's Domain, having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy, let alone a behemoth like Blackwater.

Defense Puppets were powerful war weapons, first-rate whether defending or attacking a city, unmatched by other war weapons. But they were only powerful for the moment. They were very effective against Tier 2 players, but as players' levels continued to rise, their weapons and equipment became better and better. After reaching Tier 3, the effect of such Defense Puppets would be much lower, and they would simply be used as tanks with thick skin and Tier 3 combat power.

In his opinion, Shi Feng would definitely accept with pleasure, eager to sign the contract as soon as possible.

What kind of power was Blackwater? Just personally coming to Zero Wing's headquarters was already giving Zero Wing a great deal of face. Other first-rate guilds were not qualified to have them make a trip in person, but now Zero Wing dared to reject their kindness.

"For no reason, except that your guild's offer is too cheap, so we don't want to sell," Shi Feng said very calmly.

"Cheap?" Jing Yang was stunned and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Then how much do you want?"

"In addition to the paid Credits, one hundred bottles of S-rank nutrient potions, plus ten potential shops in large NPC cities," Shi Feng said after thinking for a moment.

Aqua Rose and Blackie on the side couldn't help but gape when they heard this.

One hundred bottles of S-rank nutrient potions!

Even if the entire White Tiger Dojo was emptied, it probably wouldn't be able to produce so many S-rank nutrient potions. Even those first-rate guilds backed by many large enterprises couldn't produce so many.

Even the Blackwater Consortium would probably feel a pang of pain if they took them out.

Not to mention potential shops in large NPC cities, which were currently worth their weight in gold. Ten potential shops were worth no less than 100,000 gold.

"Are you crazy?" Jing Yang couldn't help but say, looking at Shi Feng. "Do you know how much one hundred bottles of S-rank nutrient potions and ten potential shops in large NPC cities are worth?"

He felt that Shi Feng was simply challenging his bottom line.

One hundred bottles of S-rank nutrient potions were fine, but ten potential shops in large NPC cities were simply a joke.

Defense Puppets were, after all, Tier 3 items, and their value would continue to decrease as players' levels increased. However, shops in large NPC cities were different. As players' levels and time passed, their value would only increase. After all, more and more players were playing God's Domain. With these potential shops, they would have a continuous and stable income. Even if they didn't use them themselves, renting them out could bring considerable income.

It could be said that Defense Puppets and potential shops in large NPC cities were not on the same level at all. Three or four Defense Puppets could not compare to one potential shop in a large NPC city, not to mention trading one for one and having to compensate with so many things.

"Elder Jing Yang is joking," Shi Feng said with a smile, looking at the slightly angry Jing Yang. "If Elder Jing Yang can't accept it, you can go back and discuss it again."

His selling price was indeed far higher than the normal price, but ten Defense Puppets were indeed worth this price at the moment. Ten Defense Puppets had already formed a scale, and their combat power was far from what one Defense Puppet could compare to. It was now easy to capture a guild town, and it was also a great help in the guild's competition for neutral map towns.

If he wasn't so short of S-rank nutrient potions and Credits, and if he could continue to produce Defense Puppets, he really wouldn't choose to sell Defense Puppets at this time. After all, it wasn't easy to produce ten Defense Puppets, and the materials required were very rare.

"Young people shouldn't be too greedy. Gaining the friendship of our Blackwater will make your Zero Wing's future path easier. Don't even think about potential shops in large NPC cities. A fixed price of seventy bottles of S-rank nutrient potions, plus the previous conditions," Jing Yang said calmly, offering his final price to Shi Feng.

"See you out!" Shi Feng said.

"You...very well! But don't regret it when the time comes! Let's go!" Jing Yang almost vomited blood when he heard this. He immediately got up and left with a flick of his sleeves, not wanting to stay at Zero Wing's headquarters for another moment.

After Jing Yang left, both Aqua Rose and Liang Jing watched in stunned silence.

They had only one word for Shi Feng's performance.

That was domineering!

Too domineering!

Faced with the temptation and threat of the Blackwater Consortium, he remained completely unmoved. Seventy bottles of S-rank nutrient potions!

On the other side, Jing Yang contacted Xuanwu Chisha as soon as he left Zero Wing.

"What an interesting person," Xuanwu Chisha said with a faint smile after listening to Jing Yang's report. "Zero Wing is already at this point, but they are still clinging to the Defense Puppets."

"Vice President, I think this Zero Wing Guild is nothing more than that. It's not worth your attention at all. They don't know that not only is the Star Ring Guild staring at them, but many super forces have long been secretly eyeing White River City. At this time, they are still thinking of selling the Defense Puppets at a high price. They don't know that what I sent was their lifeline. They will regret it when the time comes," Jing Yang sneered.

He had two purposes for going to Zero Wing's headquarters this time. The first was the transaction, and the second was to see if Zero Wing was worth becoming their puppet. But now it seems that the people of Zero Wing are just a group of ignorant fools.

"Alright, come back first. There are still many things to do next," Xuanwu Chisha said nothing about this and then hung up the communication.

With the end of the talks with Blackwater, Shi Feng also began to listen to Aqua Rose and Blackie's reports on the current situation of Zero Wing.

Currently, Zero Wing's development speed is very fast, especially the number of players recruited by the guild. In just a short period of time, the total number of elite players recruited by Zero Wing has reached as many as 400,000, and the number of experts in Star-Moon Kingdom alone has exceeded 4,000. The growth rate is simply amazing.

It has to be said that the battle of Witch Hill and Creek Moon Town has allowed Zero Wing's reputation to spread and be recognized rapidly, which has allowed many wavering elite players and experts to recognize Zero Wing.

In addition, Fire Dance and Cola and others, after training in the Transcendence Tower, also dispersed and led teams to level up in hundred-man team dungeons. Their speed in clearing level 60 team dungeons is quite fast. It probably won't be long before they take the first kill in various level 60 hundred-man teams in Star-Moon Kingdom.

However, the problem of Zero Wing's lack of funds has not been solved, which also makes Aqua Rose and Blackie very headache.

In response, Shi Feng can only rent out the shops in Zero Wing City in the form of Credits, reducing the inflow of gold coins and increasing the income of Credits to alleviate the problem of Zero Wing's lack of Credits.

Afterwards, Shi Feng quickly returned to his rest room and once again lay down in the virtual reality pod to enter God's Domain.
