Chapter 84

Seeing Shi Feng turn to leave, the people of the Snake Devouring Body were stunned. They couldn't believe that a man would treat Bai Qingxue like this and even abandon the opportunity to cooperate with the Snake Devouring Body without a second thought.

Zhao Yueru was very anxious, wanting to say something but holding back. She almost stepped forward to hold Hei Yan and try to persuade him, but since the wise and astute Bai Qingxue hadn't spoken or taken any action, she feared that her intervention would make the situation worse. So, she could only pull on Bai Qingxue's arm to remind her secretly.

However, Zhao Yueru didn't know that Bai Qingxue was also momentarily stunned.

She hadn't expected that Shi Feng's initial goal wasn't to join the Snake Devouring Body but to seek equal cooperation. But did Shi Feng have the qualifications for that?

The Snake Devouring Body wasn't as simple as it appeared; it could be considered a behemoth in the virtual game world, controlling resources that ordinary players couldn't even imagine. To be on equal footing with the Snake Devouring Body, one would need to be at least a first-class guild.

Yet, the man before them was acting as if he had the right to cooperate on equal terms with the Snake Devouring Body.

Could it be that this man had a vast hidden power behind him, giving him such confidence?

But this wasn't impossible. To achieve all these things, including Hei Yan's equipment, it was simply impossible for one person to do it all in such a short time. There must have been a major power supporting him, leading to the current fierce competition. According to the guild's statistics, the total income from the design plans Hei Yan sold exceeded 60 gold coins, while the current liquid funds of a first-class guild were only around 3 gold coins. If this money were used wisely, it could instantly elevate a first-class guild above others, even making it a super guild.

Suddenly, Bai Qingxue felt a chill at her back. As the vice president of the Snake Devouring Body, she hadn't even noticed such a hidden major power until now.

But if she hadn't noticed, it showed how deeply this power was hidden. However, it was fortunate that they had discovered it now, though it was unknown whether it was friend or foe.

"Wait a moment," Bai Qingxue said, trying to retain him. "You should know that the Snake Devouring Body is also a first-class guild. There aren't many forces that have the qualifications to cooperate with us on equal terms. If you can prove that you have the strength and capital, and the cooperation you propose can bring significant benefits to the Snake Devouring Body, I can make the decision to agree."

"Hmph, the Snake Devouring Body sure has a big mouth. Do you know that I have the option to cooperate with other first-class guilds, not just yours?" Shi Feng turned to look at Bai Qingxue, showing no respect for the Snake Devouring Body. He then took out a 10th-level Black Iron equipment forging plan he had bought from Hei Xu, shook it in front of Bai Qingxue, and sneered, "What do you think of this? Do you think I have the qualifications?"

"How could this be!" Bai Qingxue couldn't believe her eyes, feeling extremely shocked. "A 10th-level Black Iron equipment design plan, how did you get it?"

Even 3rd-level Bronze Glow design plans were almost being fought over. The value of this design plan was unimaginable.

A 3rd-level Glow design plan wasn't very useful for the elite members of a guild; it was mainly for making money and training blacksmiths to expand the guild's advantages. Compared to this design plan, it was insignificant.

Being ahead by a step means being ahead in everything. This is a natural law in virtual games. All guilds know that if they can get their main members to wear 10th-level equipment, their efficiency in leveling up and running dungeons would greatly increase, and their main members would easily surpass those of other guilds.

"Business secret, you can't think about it." Shi Feng put away the design plan. "If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

To let Bai Qingxue watch a person with a 10th-level Black Iron equipment design plan leave and possibly cooperate with other first-class guilds was absolutely unacceptable. If other first-class guilds got this design plan and mass-produced the equipment, equipping each elite member, the competition for the capital city would be over.

"Alright, I agree. How do you want to cooperate?" Bai Qingxue gritted her teeth and finally yielded.

"Ha ha, but I don't want to cooperate with you now." Shi Feng said in a deep voice.

"You!" Bai Qingxue's face turned cold, but she quickly calmed down, no longer maintaining her high and mighty attitude, and smiled faintly. "I apologize for my previous rudeness. Can you reconsider? The Snake Devouring Body is willing to pay double the price of other guilds."

Shi Feng nodded and smiled. "Alright, seeing your sincerity."

The others thought they had misheard. The proud and icy goddess Bai Qingxue had actually yielded and apologized for her previous attitude. How terrifying was this Hei Yan?

At this moment, Zhao Yueru's eyes sparkled, admiring Hei Yan. She knew how proud and intelligent Bai Qingxue was, and she had never seen Bai Qingxue apologize before.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Bai Qingxue glared at the giggling Zhao Yueru behind her and then looked at Hei Yan.

"Very simple. I want to form a loose living organization called the Sky Alliance, recruiting various living players. You help me with the publicity and hype. I will give you the internal price for the equipment and items, and even items that I don't sell externally." Shi Feng said slowly.

"Do you really want to establish such an organization?" Bai Qingxue was slightly surprised, though she didn't have high hopes for Shi Feng, his conditions were very tempting.

Zhao Yueru blinked her big eyes, looking at Shi Feng in disbelief, feeling that he was too crazy.

The others thought Shi Feng had too much money to spend, wanting to establish such an organization.

This plan was too far-fetched. Unifying all living players was impossible, requiring too much financial, material, and human resources. Each guild was already cultivating living players, only recruiting elites to save resources. The remaining masses, when gathered, were of little use. Cultivating these living players required even more resources, which no guild could bear.

Of course, if it succeeded, the benefits would be unimaginable.

"You don't need to worry about that. When the time comes, I will notify you to start the publicity and hype. You won't lose anything. I will give you some compensation in advance, ten design plans for Glow Chestplates, which will be enough for your guild to train many blacksmiths." If Shi Feng did the publicity himself, it would be a waste of time and not very effective. It would take time to accumulate. But with the Snake Devouring Body's help, it could almost instantly cover the entire Star Moon Kingdom, significantly reducing the accumulation process.

Bai Qingxue thought about it. Doing the publicity wouldn't be much trouble, and they would get ten Glow design plans immediately. During this time, they could pull ahead of other guilds, training more blacksmiths and earning more game coins. As for establishing such a living alliance and massively cultivating living players, it would be a continuous loss, and it would collapse soon. Cultivating living players was very hard, and without the resources and funds of a major guild, it would be difficult to achieve anything.

Subsequently, Bai Qingxue and Shi Feng signed a contract, agreeing to help Shi Feng fully promote the Sky Alliance throughout the Star Moon Kingdom. In return, Shi Feng would provide 100 pieces of 10th-level Black Iron equipment, and the Snake Devouring Body could buy the equipment and items at internal prices.

Bai Qingxue was quite happy to get the ten Glow design plans and had an assassin take them back to the guild. She then looked at Shi Feng and invited him, "I see there are quite a few people here, and although their levels are a bit higher, it's still a good place to level up. Why don't you join us? It's much faster to level up in a group than alone."
