Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 234 As the Tao Rises, the Devil Rises a Zhang
Having heard the scholar's words, Shi Feng certainly couldn't just walk away.
Although he didn't know what had happened to Aqua Rose.
If his outrageous demands could rake in so many materials and Credits at once, it would be a huge profit.
"Alright, I'll give you one minute. I'm in a hurry."
Shi Feng glanced at the time in his system bar. There were less than two hours left before the Blackwing City auction started. If he missed it, he would have to wait several days.
With such a significant matter at hand, the scholar didn't dare waste any time. He had already sent a message to his superiors, awaiting their decision.
After waiting another thirty seconds, the scholar finally received a reply.
After reading it, the scholar looked refreshed.
"Master Black Flame, Miss Aqua Rose has said that due to the extremely large transaction amount, if we are to trade, we must confirm the contents of the letter. Of course, I will be the one to confirm it. If there are no problems, we will transfer the money immediately." The scholar looked at Shi Feng with confidence.
"That won't do. If you see the contents of this letter, the information inside will be worthless. If you decide not to pay me then, wouldn't I be at a great loss? Unless you pay first, there's no way I'll let you see what's inside." Shi Feng smiled coldly. "Since you're not sincere, then forget it."
The information in the letter was genuinely valuable, enough to elevate a large guild by an entire level.
Especially for first-rate guilds.
Of course, this information couldn't be sold for the astronomical price of 100 million Credits.
Since he had already cooperated with Aqua Rose, he would naturally not break his promise and cooperate with others, so he just said it casually, toying with the scholar.
"Master Black Flame, we've already shown great sincerity, but you're acting like this. If you continue to do so, I can only assume that you are toying with Twilight Echo. Those who dare to toy with Twilight Echo will not have a good ending. If Master Black Flame doesn't want us to misunderstand, please allow me to see the information inside the letter. As long as there are no problems, with the reputation of Twilight Echo, we would never do something that would damage our reputation, like not paying." Although the scholar smiled warmly, the cold glint in his small eyes was not concealed at all.
"Are you threatening me?" Shi Feng's voice also turned cold. "Although your Twilight Echo is a first-rate guild, I, Black Flame, am not someone to be trifled with. Since that's the case, our cooperation ends here."
After saying that, Shi Feng left the restaurant, leaving the scholar dumbfounded.
The scholar never expected Shi Feng to be so decisive.
In his mind, Black Flame was just a blacksmith, how dare he challenge the first-rate guild Twilight Echo, so he threatened him, but the result far exceeded his expectations, even backfiring.
The task given to him by his superiors was to maintain a relationship with Black Flame, preferably a closer one, and if possible, to bring Black Flame into Twilight Echo.
"Damn it, this Black Flame is simply unreasonable." The scholar originally wanted to go out and stop Shi Feng, but wouldn't that be too embarrassing? He had just said harsh words, and then turned around to ingratiate himself. He didn't think he could do that. "He must be playing me, that's why he doesn't dare to show me the information inside."
Then the scholar began to contact his superiors.
"Scholar, what's the result?" A dignified voice came from the voice communication.
"Boss, that Black Flame refused and wouldn't let me see it, but I'm sure he's playing me. The information inside the letter must be useless," the scholar said with certainty.
"I see. Although it's a bit of a pity, Black Flame has given us a good idea. Since Black Flame is unwilling to trade, we can look for other partners. I heard that Black Flame's birthplace is in Star-Moon Kingdom. They should be very short of ore there. Find a powerful guild in Star-Moon Kingdom. I think they should be very willing to cooperate."
"Yes, Boss."
At this time, the scholar was very happy.
"You think you're so great, Black Flame? I'll sell all these ores to other guilds in Star-Moon Kingdom and see how you survive in Star-Moon Kingdom."
Then the scholar left the restaurant and began looking for cooperation partners in Star-Moon Kingdom.
After leaving the restaurant, Shi Feng directly used the Demon Mask to change his appearance and waited for the scholar outside the restaurant.
Although Shi Feng didn't want to cooperate with the scholar, it didn't stop him from scamming the scholar.
After all, it wasn't easy to get so many ores. If he just let them go, that wouldn't be his style.
Using Black Flame's appearance earlier, he naturally couldn't do that, but changing his appearance was different. Even if he scammed the scholar, he could just change his appearance.
Twilight Echo had purchased so many ores, which must have cost a lot of money and manpower. If they couldn't sell them and kept them for their own use, it would probably take ten days to use them all. Twilight Echo couldn't afford such a result. After all, these ores couldn't be turned into guild combat power, only money.
If they wanted to turn them into money, they would have to sell the ores to guilds that lacked them. Free players couldn't consume so many ores.
No, it should be said that even first-rate guilds couldn't consume so many ores at once, unless they used Credits to buy them, but did Twilight Echo lack Credits?
That's right, they didn't lack them. If they could use Credits to buy a large amount of gold coins, they would not hesitate to buy hundreds of millions of Credits worth of gold coins, but the system hadn't opened the exchange system, and the virtual transaction center didn't have so many gold coins.
The most important thing was that the more gold coins they bought, the higher the price of gold coins would be, so it was not cost-effective to do so. Therefore, large guilds usually didn't dare to buy a large amount of gold coins.
If Twilight Echo didn't sell these ores quickly, it would be very detrimental to the development of the guild.
However, it was not easy to find partners who were willing to buy the ores. The only possibility was to find guilds in Star-Moon Kingdom, because just by checking, they would know that Black Flame was born in Star-Moon Kingdom. He had been buying a large amount of ore, which proved that Star-Moon Kingdom was very short of ore. Anyone with a little brain would choose to cooperate with people from Star-Moon Kingdom.
Unfortunately, Twilight Echo underestimated one thing, that is, it was not easy to enter Blackwing City. Even for large guilds, it would take a lot of effort to get Blackwing City passes. Moreover, many guilds didn't know about the existence of Blackwing City.
Even though God's Domain had been open for quite some time, there were very few players in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom who could enter Blackwing City, not to mention partners who could consume so many ores.
Under Shi Feng's constant tracking, an hour passed.
As expected, the scholar had not found any players from Star-Moon Kingdom. Most of them were free players from other kingdoms or empires. Even if they encountered guild players, they were not core members. The most important thing was that they were not interested in the ores.
This made the scholar very depressed. He couldn't understand why he couldn't find players from Star-Moon Kingdom, even free players would be fine.
At this time, Shi Feng used the Demon Mask to turn into the appearance of Only One Mad and walked towards the scholar very casually.
