Chapter 35

Looking at Bai Qingsnow's confident smile, Shi Feng was already secretly grinning.

After all, the wool comes from the sheep; if one wants to make money, it naturally comes from the rich. The Snake Devouring Its Own Body Guild was undoubtedly a very good choice. According to the intelligence Shi Feng knew, the Snake Devouring Its Own Body Guild had already conquered over a dozen virtual games. However, the appearance of the Divine Realm caused a sensation in the virtual game world, being hailed as the second world of humanity, leading to the collapse of other virtual games. Subsequently, countless large financial groups went crazy to enter the Divine Realm, cultivating their own guilds and establishing their own power bases, aiming to establish their status in the virtual financial world. The Snake Devouring Its Own Body naturally also entered the Divine Realm, hoping to get a share from the numerous financial giants.

Moreover, the Snake Devouring Its Own Body was not only rich in funds but also had a strong background. It had over a thousand gaming experts, whose reputation in the Divine Realm was extremely loud, known as the God-Slaying Army. It was because of the existence of these thousand experts that the Snake Devouring Its Own Body established a considerable virtual empire, ruling over more than eighty large cities in the Divine Realm with a population of over a million, making it the true overlord of the Divine Realm.

At its peak, the territory of the Snake Devouring Its Own Body was equivalent to the entire Star Moon Kingdom. Even at its peak, the Shadow Guild only established ten cities with a population of less than a million. Even so, its status in reality was already that of a giant. The status of the Snake Devouring Its Own Body was simply unimaginable.

It should be known that the Star Moon Kingdom was not small among the hundreds of kingdoms in the Divine Realm, but rather medium to large. This shows how powerful the Snake Devouring Its Own Body was.

Such a powerful and wealthy guild, how could Shi Feng not want to cooperate? However, the risk of cooperating with Bai Qingsnow was too great. Bai Qingsnow had a lot of intelligence about the Divine Realm, and her identity was not ordinary, so he had to be careful. Therefore, he deliberately showed some flaws, especially the formula for the初级力量药剂 (初级力量药剂 translates to "初级" meaning "初级" and "力量药剂" meaning "力量药剂"). He wanted to see Bai Qingsnow's performance. If things went badly, he would naturally push it away.

However, the current situation was undoubtedly what Shi Feng hoped for.

"Since you put it that way, my price isn't high, twenty silver coins," Shi Feng said calmly.

Now, twenty silver coins were already the entire assets of a small guild, and for an ordinary guild, it was a significant loss. Even a hundred-person gold farming team would need two to three days to save up that much. The next trip to the ordinary Silent Forest would only yield one or two silver coins. However, he felt that this price was very reasonable. The Silent Forest was a special dungeon. As long as one could clear this dungeon, it would lay a solid foundation for the future.

Hearing Shi Feng casually ask for twenty silver coins, Zhao Yueru drew a cold breath, almost jumping up in anger. She glared at Shi Feng and said angrily, "Why don't you just rob us? That would be faster."

"If robbing could get so much money, I would do it," Shi Feng said with a smile. "You have to understand, this is the Silent Forest. There are a large number of skill books inside that can arm players and quickly enhance their strength. If we can clear the Silent Forest early, the benefits for future development are obvious."

"You... can't you lower the price a bit? This is twenty silver coins. Even our Snake Devouring Its Own Body can't come up with that much money at once," Zhao Yueru said, thoroughly disliking Shi Feng. However, thinking about the importance of the Silent Forest, she softened her tone. "I understand. Twenty silver coins it is, but we need time to prepare. After all, our Snake Devouring Its Own Body's territory is not near Baihe City but in the capital, Star Moon City. There are not many members of the Snake Devouring Its Own Body near Baihe City. Give me one day. Here are seven silver coins as a deposit, and I will give you fifteen silver coins as compensation in a day."

"I'm sorry, no haggling. If you don't agree, I will consider cooperating with other guilds," Shi Feng said firmly. He had already been very sincere with Bai Qingsnow. If it didn't work out, he would consider the Assassin Alliance, which was also wealthy and had previously spent over twenty silver coins to buy a level 5 bronze shield.

"I understand. Twenty silver coins it is, but we need time to prepare. Give me one day. Here are seven silver coins as a deposit, and I will give you fifteen silver coins as compensation in a day," Bai Qingsnow said, not expecting Shi Feng to be so demanding. However, clearing the Silent Forest was too important and had to be done as soon as possible. She also knew that silver coins were more valuable in the early stages, so she offered some extra interest.

"Alright, here is the map of the Silent Forest and the issues to pay attention to when fighting the boss," Shi Feng said. He knew that Bai Qingsnow was telling the truth; it was not easy to come up with twenty silver coins at once. Unlike the Assassin Alliance, which had considerable influence in Baihe City and much more funds than Bai Qingsnow, he sent an email to Bai Qingsnow with detailed information about the Silent Forest. With Bai Qingsnow's strength, they should easily clear the ordinary level.

Receiving the Silent Forest strategy, Bai Qingsnow glanced at it and was secretly surprised.

She didn't expect the Silent Forest to be so terrifying. There were thirty-six small paths, and thirty-three of them were dead ends. There was also a Night Ranger lurking, and the boss's moves and attack times were detailed. Twenty silver coins were indeed worth more than their value. If they sent people to explore and clear the dungeon bit by bit, the cost would be more than twenty silver coins.

Bai Qingsnow's opinion of Shi Feng changed. She felt that Shi Feng was not simple and was definitely a great expert. Only a great expert could have such a deep understanding of the dungeon. However, in her memory, there was no great expert who was a swordsman and resembled Shi Feng.

"Three days from now, our Snake Devouring Its Own Body will prepare the first twenty-person team dungeon, the Dark Moon Cemetery, for level 5. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?" Bai Qingsnow looked at Shi Feng with her beautiful eyes and extended an invitation to the team dungeon. She had already recognized Shi Feng's strength. If Shi Feng joined the level 5 team dungeon, it might be easier.

Black Zi's eyes widened in admiration. He never expected Shi Feng to be so impressive, easily convincing the goddess to invite him to the dungeon. This was a great honor, something many men dreamed of doing with Bai Qingsnow.

However, Zhao Yueru's mood was not good. Shi Feng was just a tester, at most having experienced a few more days of life in the Divine Realm, and was familiar with the Silent Forest. However, the twenty-person team dungeon only appeared in the open beta, not in the closed beta. Shi Feng couldn't possibly know anything about it. Moreover, Shi Feng was not a great expert. What was the point of inviting him? It would just waste a slot.

Shi Feng thought about it. The twenty-person team dungeon yielded many good items, especially the Dark Moon Cemetery, which provided many good swordsman equipment. The attributes of dungeon equipment were definitely stronger than those of wild bosses. However, he couldn't organize twenty members, so going with Bai Qingsnow was a good choice.

"Alright, but you need to reserve some spots for me, and all the swordsman equipment and forging designs must be prioritized for me," Shi Feng agreed.

"Can't you be a bit more modest?" Zhao Yueru pouted, feeling that Shi Feng was being too demanding. When Bai Qingsnow invited others, they usually accepted without hesitation, even giving up the equipment. Shi Feng, however, not only accepted but also demanded priority for the equipment, showing no courtesy.

Bai Qingsnow didn't expect Shi Feng to be so different from others, being completely straightforward. It was interesting. She glanced at the members behind Shi Feng. Although they were weak, their equipment was decent, and they could勉强 (勉强 means "勉强" and "勉强" means "勉强") handle the twenty-person team dungeon. "Alright, let's add each other as friends for easier communication."

"Sure, contact me a few hours before the dungeon. I'll be there on time," Shi Feng accepted Bai Qingsnow's friend request.

Subsequently, Shi Feng and his team left the small stone pond and headed towards the Dark Moon Valley.

As they passed the entrance to the Silent Forest dungeon, the Assassin Alliance's Heartstab suddenly called out to Shi Feng.

"Brother Ye Feng, I almost didn't recognize you. I didn't expect you to know such a big shot like the Snow Goddess. Don't forget about me in the future," Heartstab joked as he approached.

"How could I? I just met Miss Bai by chance," Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Ye Feng is too modest. With your strength, you definitely have the qualifications to be a friend of the Snow Goddess. After all, you are both top experts," Heartstab thought Shi Feng was very modest, worthy of a great expert. He wanted to make a good connection. "Our Assassin Alliance is preparing to clear the Silent Forest. I wonder if Brother Ye Feng is interested? Of course, you can choose the equipment."

"Brother Heartstab is too kind, but I have other matters to attend to. I'll definitely join if there's an opportunity in the future," Shi Feng politely declined.

Heartstab spoke loudly, and the surrounding players heard clearly.

They thought Shi Feng was just a new player, and being called by the goddess was just luck. However, Heartstab, a big shot from the Assassin Alliance, wanted to make a connection with Shi Feng. What was going on?

The Assassin Alliance was a well-known large guild near Baihe City, and Heartstab was the deputy leader of the elite team. Such a big shot would not interact with ordinary players, but he wanted to connect with Shi Feng, who then refused. This was too impressive.

If anyone said Shi Feng was a new player, no one would believe it. There must be something fishy.

The players speculated that Shi Feng must be a hidden expert, unknown to ordinary players. Otherwise, why would all these big shots want to meet Shi Feng?

"Boss, did you hear that? Heartstab actually wanted to make a connection with that new player. Am I dreaming?" Xia Ye didn't speak, stunned. Was this the same new player they had seen before?

Tianwang Huaihuai felt very uncomfortable. He had hoped to make a connection, but now it was shattered by Heartstab. Shi Feng was not a new player but definitely an expert, just as Lonely as Snow had said, and even more powerful. Following Shi Feng would definitely lead to a bright future in the Divine Realm, but they had driven him away, missing a great opportunity to connect with an expert.

"Boss, why don't we apologize? Experts are magnanimous and might forgive us. Then we can also get a leg up," Yi Zhan Dao Di suggested.

Xia Ye nodded in agreement.

As Shi Feng's team walked towards the exit, Tianwang Huaihuai and his group ran over.

"Big expert, we had a misunderstanding before. We apologize for our ignorance. This silver coin is our sincerity. We hope you can accept it," Tianwang Huaihuai said, completely losing his previous arrogance and smiling.

Xia Ye and Yi Zhan Dao Di also apologized sincerely, wanting to go with Shi Feng to farm monsters.

"If you have no other business, please leave. I have matters to attend to and no time to waste," Shi Feng said and turned to leave. He didn't care about Tianwang Huaihuai's behavior and had no intention of taking them along.

Lonely as Snow just looked at Tianwang Huaihuai and his group, shaking her head. If only they had known better.

Seeing Lonely as Snow follow Shi Feng, Xia Ye pouted and said sourly, "Pfft, what's so great? I can also become an expert in the future."

Only Tianwang Huaihuai knew that Lonely as Snow would definitely rise to prominence and would no longer be in the same world as them.
