Chapter 2337 Ocean Boundary Stone
The moment Shi Feng refused in the hall, the entire place fell silent. Dark Psalm's expression immediately turned grim. He hadn't expected Shi Feng to reject the offer so directly, without even a hint of tact…
Standing behind Mo Qiubai, the blue-haired woman stared at Shi Feng in disbelief.
In her opinion, Shi Feng should have been thrilled to accept such an offer. The strength of their Titan Heart was extraordinary, dominating the entire Sea God's World and capable of contending with super guilds.
Securing a deal with Titan Heart would grant them a valuable favor, something many factions craved. Especially during this chaotic period, with various plane forces emerging, establishing a foothold in the God's Domain mainland was exceedingly difficult. Some major forces had even perished as a result.
While airships were valuable, the fact that Zero Wing possessed one was already known to the super forces, who were undoubtedly keeping a close eye on them. Zero Wing would face numerous troubles down the line.
After all, to be without merit is to invite disaster when possessing treasure!
By agreeing to the deal, Zero Wing could obtain a significant amount of resources to boost the strength of their guild's experts and gain Titan Heart's favor. Not only would the Battle Blood Adventure Group think twice, even the Star Ring Guild wouldn't dare easily confront Zero Wing. But Shi Feng had rejected the offer without hesitation, without even a moment's contemplation.
"Does he not know how powerful Titan Heart is?"
This was the only explanation the blue-haired woman could think of. Otherwise, why would he so decisively reject such a good thing?
"Zero Wing doesn't plan to sell? That's a pity." Mo Qiubai didn't seem the least bit annoyed by Shi Feng's rejection. On the contrary, he was surprisingly calm. "In that case, would you be willing to lend your airship to help me complete a task? I'm willing to offer five Ocean Boundary Stones as compensation."
"Help complete a task?" Shi Feng considered it. "That shouldn't be a problem. How long will this task take?"
He was very tempted by the Ocean Boundary Stones. After all, they were treasures that allowed players to learn combat techniques, ranking among the top five in the entire God's Domain.
In his previous life, the market price was roughly two Ocean Boundary Stones for an Epic weapon above Level 100, and even then, ordinary forces didn't have the opportunity to obtain them.
Mo Qiubai was willing to offer five Ocean Boundary Stones, which was equivalent to two and a half Epic weapons above Level 100—a very high price.
With five Ocean Boundary Stones, five of the guild's top experts could master Bronze Combat Techniques, giving them the power to fight against experts who had mastered Domains.
As for Bronze Combat Techniques, other guilds might be lacking, but they weren't difficult to acquire for Zero Wing. After all, Zero Wing had obtained several Bronze Inheritance Steles. Furthermore, he was the only one who had mastered the Secret Technique, Thunderflash, so if Fire Dance or Bai Qingsnow could master it, the power, combined with their Fragmented Legendary items, would be extraordinary.
"About three days. If we complete it quickly enough, I can add another Ocean Boundary Stone," Mo Qiubai estimated, giving a relatively accurate time. He smiled and added, "Even if we don't complete it, I'll still pay one Ocean Boundary Stone as a rental and wear-and-tear fee for the airship."
"Then that's no problem. When does the task start?" Shi Feng hadn't expected Mo Qiubai to be so generous, so he didn't hesitate any longer. After all, Ocean Boundary Stones were very important even to super guilds, let alone Zero Wing.
If Zero Wing didn't only have enough materials to manufacture two Crimson Dragon Flying Ships, he would have really considered using them to exchange for a batch of Ocean Boundary Stones, so the lineup of Zero Wing's top experts could become more substantial.
"According to the schedule, we'll depart in fifteen hours," Mo Qiubai said after seeing Shi Feng agree. "The place we're going to is very dangerous. I hope you can rest and prepare well during this time."
"Alright, let's sign the contract now," Shi Feng said, checking the time. He didn't have anything particularly important to do recently, so this was a good opportunity to earn some extra income.
Mo Qiubai then established a contract with Shi Feng, binding both parties to the agreement and ensuring they could focus on the task.
As Shi Feng left the hall to prepare for signing the Void Ore cooperation agreement with the Freedom Alliance, the blue-haired woman who had been standing behind Mo Qiubai couldn't help but speak.
"Vice-Guild Leader, do you really plan to challenge it again?" the blue-haired woman asked Mo Qiubai.
Others might not know what Mo Qiubai was planning, but she was well aware. It was the Epic main quest in the Sea God's World, with only three chances to challenge it. He had already failed twice, leaving only one chance. If he failed again, the quest would be completely forfeited.
"With the airship this time, the chances are much higher, and there isn't much time left for this quest," Mo Qiubai said with a smile. "As long as we succeed this time, our Titan Heart will be able to establish a complete foothold in the Fire Dragon Empire, so even if Ominous Star Empire goes all out, they won't be able to shake us."
"But is it really okay to bring this Ye Feng along?" the blue-haired woman worried. "That place only allows ten people to enter. Without a special inheritance, even top experts can't last for ten seconds. If they die, they'll be directly teleported out without even a chance to revive."
"It is indeed troublesome inside, but I'll have Green Claw and the others share the burden as much as possible. Besides, you've also mastered Domain, and your strength has greatly increased, so it shouldn't be a big problem," Mo Qiubai said.
"Then I'll go inform Green Claw and the others," the blue-haired woman nodded, hoping that Shi Feng wouldn't drag them down too much.
On the other side, with Shi Feng signing the Void Ore cooperation agreement with the Freedom Alliance, the various forces on the sea and the Freedom Alliance's guild leaders were all taken aback. They hadn't expected Zero Wing to defend the Void Ore, and Titan Heart hadn't shown any reaction to it.
With Zero Wing having the right to cooperate with the Void Ore, both Undying Light and Zero Wing had a stable source of income.
However, Undying Light's strength at sea was still lacking, so Shi Feng directly lent them the Stormwind Sailboat. He also fully transported the Void Ore once, while Dark Psalm emptied his savings and bought seven Bronze Speedboats and two sailing ships from Ghost City, greatly increasing Undying Light's strength at sea and giving them the ability to transport Void Ore in the Chaotic Sea.
Furthermore, Unyielding Heart also fully assisted Dark Psalm, sending elite ships from his fleet to help, allowing Undying Light to stabilize in the Chaotic Sea.
Even without the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, Undying Light could still transport the Void Ore to Ghost City, and they could also transport Zero Wing's share of the Void Ore to Zero Wing's branch guild in the Apocalyptic Empire.
For others, transporting Void Ore to the territory of dark forces was a great opportunity to earn a lot of wealth, but for Shi Feng, the value of the Void Ore itself was even greater. Especially when possessing a large amount of Void Ore, the value increased geometrically, but everyone didn't know it yet.
While Shi Feng was arranging these matters, time flew by quickly, and more than ten hours had passed without him realizing it.
"It's time to go to Azurewave City."
Shi Feng checked the time, then took out the Azurewave City Return Scroll and teleported directly to Azurewave City, where he had agreed to meet Mo Qiubai.
