Chapter 322: Chapter 301: Business is All About Relationships

Now, faced with Da Fei’s Guild invitation, Little Fang and Little Li exchanged glances.

Finally, Little Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Let’s join! During the competition, we’ll run a few trade routes for him, just treat it as a welcoming gift for forming an alliance. After we succeed and get the competition prize money, you can quit, no, no! You can just say you’re not playing anymore. Dropping this account and starting over for hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in prize money, it’s worth it!"

Little Li exclaimed, "Dropping the account? Isn’t that a bit too obvious?"

Little Fang shook her head and sighed, "This is much better than directly quitting the guild. Or else, after we succeed, help him run some trade for a while as a gesture, so we leave on good terms."

Little Li nodded her head, "Seems like that’s the only way."

.......

On the other hand, Ma Yinglong stared blankly for a while before finally coming back to his senses. Although it wasn’t the Divine Artifact he was hoping for, and even though this legacy’s attributes weren’t as powerful as the previous Nokes legacy, what’s more important in business is to build relations, especially trading with top players, since his own Guild wasn’t powerful enough to farm them, right?

Ma Yinglong then replied with an offer, "Brother Fei, according to our marketing department’s research, this legacy came out a bit too late and has lost some of its early suppression advantage. At the same time, its attributes are not as good as the previous one, so the price definitely can’t match the first one."

How can it not match? Da Fei tensed up and replied, "Of course it can’t compare with the first one, but having an additional Bloodsucking Hero is always good. Boss Ma, just name your price!"

Ma Yinglong chuckled, "Right, can I ask first, is Brother Fei’s Destiny Coin Divine Artifact for sale? If it is, we can negotiate!"

Da Fei laughed and sighed, "I don’t have plans to sell it for now, I’m thinking of waiting until after the competition! Maybe I can win some prize money!"

Of course, Da Fei wasn’t just relying on the Divine Artifact to win prize money. More importantly, Samael once said that this item couldn’t be used again, suggesting it’s likely a one-time use equipment. Under normal circumstances, Da Fei wouldn’t dare to try it, but competition is different. The competition copies players’ accounts on a competition server, which doesn’t affect the player’s account in their home server at all. This provides an excellent opportunity to test the Divine Artifact, and Da Fei wants to see if the coin can be used a second time.

Ma Yinglong cursed under his breath but could only laugh and say, "Is that so, it should be. Alright, trading with Brother Fei is not the first time for me, this scroll has a flat price of 500,000, how about that?"

500,000! Acceptable! Da Fei’s heart leapt, but he couldn’t help but be astonished, "500,000? That’s so much less than the last one?"

Ma Yinglong sighed and said, "The technical department valued it at 250,000. You know, in the game, the difference between a complete item and an inferior one is at least double, and even more than ten times, and it’s not even certain if anyone would buy an inferior one. I thought about buying Brother Fei’s Divine Artifact as a favor, so I added another 250,000. Brother Fei should understand the principle of ’one step ahead is steps ahead’. The value of a high-end account isn’t in how many people it can defeat, but in how many Epic Quests it can receive during the development period, and how much benefit it can bring to the Guild! Epic Quests are random but also unique, and all the countries are competing for them. Whoever gets them first benefits. As for the new account in the China Region’s Beastman side, appearing so late means it’s difficult to grab powerful Epic Quests, so its value inevitably takes a serious hit."

Damn! He makes a compelling case, huh? So you’re that sure there aren’t any powerful Beastman Epic Quests left in the China Region? Definitely a shady merchant! Da Fei somewhat regretted not getting rid of this guy sooner. But who really knows how much something in a game is worth? In the end, it’s a buyer’s market; if someone is willing to buy, then it’s worth that much money, and if not, it’s just a pile of useless electronic data. He’s also right about one thing: what’s important in business is the relationship. 500,000 is a large sum of money, and he’s also eagerly looking at my Divine Artifact, right! When it’s time for me to actually sell the Divine Artifact, I’ll crush you with it! If you don’t agree, I’ll sell to Star or Ninth Heaven. A Divine Artifact is certainly different from a Beastman Scroll!

Da Fei also spoke straightforwardly, "Done! Deal!"

Ma Yinglong smiled, "Then please come to the World Tree Square. Our trading alt is there."

Da Fei nodded, "No problem!" Then he had a sudden thought and asked, "By the way, can I ask Boss Ma a question?"

Ma Yinglong laughed, "Feel free to ask!"

Da Fei asked, "How many Epic Quests has that account I sold to Boss Ma received?"

Ma Yinglong chuckled, "Just two or three, after all, it’s a pro gamer’s account."

Da Fei was greatly shocked! Da Fei always thought that just getting a few Epic Quests was quite amazing, it seems he wasn’t invincible after all. Professional gamers are just that—professional. At the very least, their command level in combat was not something he could compare with! Alright, play to your strengths, avoid weaknesses, all-out ranged attack, no need for command!

Right when Da Fei was busy with the trade, a message came in, it was from Harem Beauty. Oh yeah? Let’s see what the beauty has to say.

Harem Beauty said, "Brother Fei, during such a difficult time for you, of course I want to help you. I have faith in you, I will help you run trade routes and replenish the Chamber of Commerce’s treasury!"

Hahaha! She’s not dumb! I like smart beauties! Da Fei laughed heartily and said, "Good, I won’t be pretentious, the Chamber indeed lacks funds, thanks for the effort, beauty!"

Harem Beauty smiled and said, "Brother Fei is too polite!"

—System Prompt: You have invited your friend "Harem Beauty" to join your Guild!

—System Prompt: Your friend "Harem Beauty" has agreed to join your Guild.

—Guild Channel: A warm welcome to the new member "Harem Beauty" joining the Chamber of Commerce!

Da Fei laughed heartily in the guild channel: "Brothers, we’ve got a beauty here, let’s all give her a warm welcome!"

——Guild Channel [Harem Beauty]: Hello everyone! I’m here to run errands for the guild, but I’m a land merchant. Let’s work hard together!

Invincible Soldier was thrilled: "It is just like Brother Fei! Brother Fei, recruit more beauties in the future. This will make others die to join our guild!"

Invincible Wei: Welcome! Welcome!

One Sword Eastward: Beauty, let’s have a video!

Da Fei disdainfully said: "Whoever wants to come, let them come. I only recruit volunteers. Let’s forget about video stuff. Rest assured, if Brother has video-chatted with someone, you’re all welcome to join cheerfully!"

Invincible Soldier also immediately added: "Indeed, what exactly does Little Sword want with a beauty approved by Brother Fei?"

One Sword Eastward chuckled: "Everyone, don’t misunderstand. It’s just a habit, a habit, haha!"

At this moment, One Sword Eastward was happily trolling on the forum under an alias. The more he supported Da Fei, the more hatred it would bring upon Da Fei. The saying ’one fan overcomes ten haters’ is exactly the point. Now with a beauty joining, there’s even more fodder for hatred, haha!

As for the efficiency of Dragon Slayer Guild, it goes without saying. As soon as Da Fei’s phone pinged with a message, money was in the account! Oh yeah! Another 500,000! Another 500,000 in hand! Da Fei couldn’t help but feel ecstatic! This was his second transaction! With no efforts done before, and just one single move, he earned 500,000! That’s the power of a high-end player. Not even the company CEOs can beat this, huh? I’m part of high society now, wahahaha! Tomorrow I’ll just withdraw a few ten thousand to buy some clothes for Little Li and Little Fang, to show them the style of their big brother, wahahaha!

Of course, with the money hitting the account, the equipment from Dragon Slayer Guild had also arrived, and it was the famous Blood Bank Blood Wolf King Set from the beta test!

——Blood Wolf King Wolfman’s Helmet: leather helmet, +8 personal defense, +10 Stamina.

——Blood Wolf King Wolfman Armor: leather armor, +10 personal defense, +10 Stamina.

——Blood Wolf King Wolfman’s Claw: leather gloves, +3 personal defense, +10 Stamina.

——Blood Wolf King Cloak: cloak, +2 personal defense, +10 Stamina, +1 Speed.

——Heart of Blood Wolf King: accessory, +30 Stamina.

(4-piece set bonus: an additional +30 Stamina, 5-piece set bonus: an additional +50 Stamina)

Blood Wolf King Wolfman! The level 40 boss from the Beastman Blood-colored Prairie instance. His troops were wolves, known for their high attack, speed, Stamina, and numbers. Cunning and vicious, they were like the wind. Just by skirting around the edges and exhausting Stamina, they could deplete any ordinary troops’ Stamina, making the player’s units die by themselves easily—boasting the title as one of the hardest instances and yet one of the most experience-rewarding!

The famous loot from the boss was the Blood Wolf King Set. Players had two sets of equipment bars: one for personal gear focusing on health to guarantee the hero’s survival, and the strategic gear focusing entirely on attack and defense, complementing each other’s properties; that’s the clever use of this set. Within this set, the hardest to obtain was the accessory Heart of Blood Wolf King, with an extremely low drop rate, followed by the Blood Wolf King Cloak. Obtaining the cloak meant assembling a 4-piece set, adding an extra 30 to health, and with the Heart of Blood Wolf King, it was worth all the other pieces combined!

And to think such a precious and difficult-to-obtain Blood Wolf King Set was just given away by Dragon Slayer! Of course, for a large guild, equipment was not a problem. The issue was, at the current stage, who could be so awesome to repeatedly run the Blood-colored Prairie instance until they looted the accessory? Even Da Fei, who considered himself amazing, wasn’t confident in leading an all-ranged troop to farm this instance. Could it be that Bloodsucking Hero newly trained by Dragon Slayer? If that’s the case, Dragon Slayer truly had the impressive strength of a professional high-end guild!

Suddenly, Da Fei’s Stamina skyrocketed by 150 points, a qualitative leap for any average player!

Da Fei couldn’t help but feel grateful: "Boss Ma, thanks for taking care of me!"

Seeing Da Fei catch on so quickly, Ma Yinglong couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction: "No need to be polite, Brother Fei. If you happen to encounter our guild members in the international competition, please look after them!"

"No problem, no problem! As a Chinese, I do not fight against my own people." Damn it, why do I feel like this deal is getting too hot to handle?

Now only one last thing remained, the Skyshattering Thunder Divine Artifact Weapon Gun. It would be great if I could purchase it before the competition, and it would be a pity otherwise. The world of players wouldn’t be able to witness me wielding the Lightning Gun and commanding the masses!

With the 500,000 hitting his account and feeling great and generous, Da Fei couldn’t bother to haggle anymore and sent a direct message: "10 million Gold Coins, deal or no deal?"

Skyshattering Thunder immediately refused: "Not selling!"

Damn it! Do you know how much of an impact 10 million Gold Coins can have at this stage? If you don’t sell, forget about it. I was only planning to offer a few million Gold Coins at most. There are still 3 hours left, time for a nap.

Just then, Skyshattering Thunder immediately replied: "10 million Gold Coins plus a Mana Ring and a Mana Necklace!"

——Apu! Da Fei almost sprayed a mouthful of hot crap in his face! What the heck! How does he know I have the Mana Ring and Necklace?
