Chapter 628: Chapter 393: His Aim is Not Temporary Gain, but the Win-Win for the Entire Great Domain_3

"Is this the Oasis?"

"No, this isn’t the Oasis! But this..."

It was so similar!

If it weren’t for the fact that it was much smaller in scope, and the sun hanging high above was nowhere to be seen, they might have believed they had entered some Oasis.

Yet this was not an Oasis, merely an unremarkable place within the Ghastly Realm.

And not even a trace of grey fog could be seen.

This resource mining site was roughly an area stretching two thousand meters in length and over a thousand meters in width, brightly lit and fogless. However, unlike the Oasis, there were no natural water sources here, and almost no natural vegetation. All around, one could see grey hills undulating like waves, painted in the Ghastly Realm’s typical desolate hues.

But atop these grey hills, numerous pieces of machinery had been set up, and ordinary miners wielding tools were noisily mining the ores. There was a considerable number of these miners, some secretly estimated there to be around one or two thousand people. And yet, having so many people gathered hadn’t seemed to attract the attack of the Evil Tide?

Delegates from various Oases climbed to higher ground, looking around in all directions.

A ring of vine-wood walls had been constructed around the perimeter of the mine, the walls about ten meters tall. One could see guards dressed in Blazefire Commerce Guild’s combat uniforms and those wearing Sword Flower’s tri-group apparel patrolling or standing watch in the lookout towers.

On the high ground of the surrounding hills stood several wooden towers over ten meters tall... apparently arrow towers. At first glance, they seemed ordinary, but when one’s gaze met those firing ports, for some reason, even the Awakeners with Six Senses felt a chill.

Inside the mine, at a central location, there were also four large bonfires burning with bright orange flames... setting up bonfires during the daylight seemed odd, but considering that items like Bright Light torches and Bright Light lanterns only worked by burning, and seeing the almost completely fog-free environment around, some of the visitors began to form guesses in their hearts.

Taking advantage of their status as visitors, some people straightforwardly asked.

Matissa, as the respected Mythic of the Rose College, could not act like a guide, responding to every query and introducing everything, but the purpose of inviting the Oases to visit was to help them understand the cooperation model clearly and learn why it was mutually beneficial; keeping secrets certainly wouldn’t do.

Matissa, holding the position of Vice-College Head, thus took on the role of the explainer.

"That is support provided by the Flamefire Commerce Guild, a facility capable of dispersing the grey fog and ensuring a sufficiently safe working environment; it’s also one of the elements of cooperation between our Sword Flower City and the Flamefire Commerce Guild," she said.

"As you can see, in the absence of fog, incidents of Mysterious Evil attacking the mines happen very rarely; the entire mine only needs a medium level of guards to easily ensure safety," she continued.

"Also, under the protection of this bonfire, the mine can fully support one to two thousand people, or even more, to work at the same time. From now on, we can mine resources far from the Oasis without any worries for the future!"

Matissa lifted her smile, her tone becoming increasingly enthusiastic.

Perhaps it was a shared sentiment or, more likely, seeing a vast prospect ahead, many visiting strongmen from the Oases also showed hints of excitement that they could not quite conceal.

After all, as long as they could ensure safety during the mining operations and not be frequently attacked by Mysterious Evil, the difficulty of mining from a distance was reduced by a great extent.

The remaining issues, such as difficulties and costs during transportation, were within an acceptable range.

"Then, what exactly is this cooperation model...?"

Someone ventured to ask.

"In the mine’s construction, Flamefire Commerce Guild provides technology and equipment, while cooperating Oases provide coordinates to resource sites and miners. Additionally, both parties jointly send personnel to form mine guards and transport escort teams," Matissa explained.

"The final profit sharing is 35% for the cooperating Oasis, 65% for Flamefire Commerce Guild."

Upon hearing this, one by one, the Oasis delegates fell into thought.

Is this share too little? No, not at all! After all, during the cooperative process, Blazefire Commerce Guild will also provide half of the Awakener power, which is tantamount to their personnel cost being reduced by half, not to mention, Blazefire Commerce Guild has taken on the biggest technical challenge.

In the Ghastly Realm, there are many, many resource spots that are marked but lack the power to be exploited.

However, there is only one Blazefire Commerce Guild possessing similar technology... and until today, many representatives from the Oasis had not even heard of it.

The key point is, even if they only take a 35% share, with input and maintenance costs significantly reduced, they stand to earn, and the amount they can earn is not insignificant.

Some representatives from the Oasis thought of even more possibilities.

Under the cover of grey fog, there are countless resource spots; sometimes a marked resource location might be discovered by more than one Oasis. In such cases, to whom does an ownerless resource spot belong? Perhaps, it will belong to the one who cooperates with Blazefire Commerce Guild first, and establishes a resource exploitation zone!

With that in mind, they didn’t have much time to hesitate.

Although anxious inside, the Oasis’ representatives still maintained the highest degree of restraint and hoped to secure more benefits.

"Could this profit-sharing ratio be increased a bit more, I mean, if we cooperate, our Oasis will also take on quite a bit of risk,"

asked a representative from one of the Oases.

After asking, he suddenly realized that the Matissa in front of him was the Deputy Dean of Sword Flower City, not a high-level executive of Blazefire Commerce Guild.

Embarrassed, he picked at his foot, but unexpectedly, Dean Matissa maintained the elegance of the Sword Flower people and replied with a smile,

"Sir, this ratio was settled upon after discussions between our Rose Dean and the First Tower Master of the Blackstone Alliance with the esteemed Blazefire Commerce Guild; it is a unified standard. This standard ensures that both parties in the cooperation can win, and win big; I think it’s a very sincere standard."

Of course, Sword Flower City and the Blackstone Alliance were getting a 45% share, but that need not be mentioned to outsiders.

What she said was true, this is the external unified standard for cooperation, and it can ensure the profits of the cooperating Oasis... These are the results of the organization’s meticulous calculations.

Pausing slightly, she lifted her smile again and said, "The scope of cooperation doesn’t stop there. Think about it, if we invest in building a larger number of resource spots, couldn’t logistics between two nearby resource spots be coordinated? This way, a further expense can be saved."

"If the goods from several resource spots are transported to a ’cooperating transfer Oasis’ that is close by, and then shipped out in bulk, or directly traded and allocated among the Oases buying resources, transportation costs could be further reduced."

"This is the blueprint constructed by the chairman of Blazefire Commerce Guild, a blueprint for mutual benefit!"

The development blueprint for the Fallen Star Domain seemed to gradually unfold before everyone.

This blueprint was substantial, with a lot of content, but upon close examination, it was clear that every bit of it spelled out two words—mutual benefit!

It wasn’t a pie in the sky; everyone had personally inspected the situation of the resource mines.

Watching this scene, even the Iron Fortress’ City Lord’s heart was stirred, and he quickly estimated that there was no small benefit in it for him; getting involved meant earning, and earning big. Moreover, the larger the volume of the Oasis and the more marked resource spots there were, the more they could potentially earn.

What truly moved the Iron Fortress’ City Lord was the sincerity of Blazefire Commerce Guild.

Under this cooperative model, the construction and maintenance of bonfires that could dispel the dense fog were entirely the responsibility of Blazefire Commerce Guild, meaning that Blazefire Commerce Guild’s investment cost was far higher than that of the cooperating Oasis.

After deducting the major expenses, Blazefire Commerce Guild’s net profit may not be much more than that of the cooperating Oasis.

Perhaps, as that mysterious chairman had said, his aim was not for a momentary profit, but the mutual benefit of the entire Great Domain.
