"Speak with me privately?" Shi Feng's confusion grew .
He had never expected Eternal Dead to seek a private conversation .
The Sacred Temple was a bona fide Super Guild . It was in a completely different league than the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion; not even the super-first-rate Guild, Miracle, could stand up against the Sacred Temple .
This was why Phoenix Rain had wanted to work with the Sacred Temple and Battle Wolves .
Had she gained the two Super Guilds' cooperation, she could've easily suppressed Nine Dragons Emperor and Miracle .
"That's right . My Guild Leader is very interested in Zero Wing . " Quiet Melody nodded .
In truth, Quiet Melody was also confused as to why Eternal Dead wanted to speak with Shi Feng . Not even Phoenix Rain had elicited such a reaction from her Guild Leader as he usually sent a Vice Temple Master for such discussions . Only the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's Great Pavilion Master qualified to speak with Eternal Dead personally .
"Alright . When will he contact me?" Shi Feng agreed .
He had assumed that the Sacred Temple would wait until after the contest to contact him, but the fact that Eternal Dead had reached out now was a good thing . After all, it wasn't easy to wrestle control of Thunder Island .
Despite so many superpowers struggling to claim the island for themselves, they had been forced to share its management in the past .
The island had a total of 17 monster encampments . A Guild could only dominate Thunder Island after they captured all 17 . Currently, the various superpowers would be fortunate to claim two or three encampments . Attempting to monopolize the island right now was unrealistic .
As soon as Shi Feng asked his question, he received a friend request . It was from none other than Eternal Dead .
How fast . Shi Feng immediately clicked 'Agree . '
In God's Domain, players couldn't call each other directly until after they added each other as friends . At most, players could send messages . However, the majority of the game's players generally blocked incoming messages from outsides, only accepting missives from friends .
"Guild Leader Eternal, to what do I owe this unexpected call?" Shi Feng asked, smiling at the somewhat-stern, middle-aged man in the screen .
During Shi Feng's previous life, Eternal Dead had achieved many feats throughout his ten years in God's Domain . One of his crowning achievements had been his decision to focus on developing the Sacred Temple's navy early in the game . It had given the Sacred Temple a massive advantage over the other superpowers, becoming one of God's Domain's top-ranked navies . Take the present Thunder Island contest, for example . During this contest, the Sacred Temple had dispatched 710 players, forming the largest team in the contest .
From the very onset, the Sacred Temple had split its forces to fight on two fronts . No one dared to provoke the Guild . While the other superpowers were just beginning to raid their second monster encampment, the Sacred Temple was almost ready to move on to their third .
"Elder Ye Feng, I've watched Zero Wing's battle, and I'm impressed by the Guild . Including the fact that Zero Wing possesses a sailboat, the Battle Wolves' Guild Leader and I have agreed that you qualify to negotiate a partnership with us . We've also decided to give Zero Wing 20% of Thunder Island's profits should you agree . "
As Eternal Dead spoke, his face had remained expressionless . He didn't reveal a hint of joy or sadness . Even the man's voice was neutral as he praised Zero Wing, yet his words ingrained themselves into any listener's mind .
Even Shi Feng could not help but admire Eternal Dead's regal aura as the man spoke . It was no wonder why the Sacred Temple's management was so unified, with none of the Guild's upper echelons dissatisfied with Eternal Dead's leadership .
"May I assume that Guild Leader Eternal Dead has agreed to Zero Wing and Phoenix Rain occupying 40% of Thunder Island's profits?" Shi Feng said, still smiling .
"Thunder Island will play an important role in naval development in the future . I'm sure you are aware of this . Although Phoenix Rain has potential, she hasn't shown enough to stand as a partner . Meanwhile, if Zero Wing has 20% of the profits, I doubt it will be long before your Guilds becomes an overlord in God's Domain's seas," Eternal Dead responded softly as he shook his head .
"So, Guild Leader Eternal, are you suggesting that only our three Guilds will cooperate?" Shi Feng asked, frowning .
"If Zero Wing wishes to split its 20% with Phoenix Rain, the Sacred Temple and Battle Wolves will not refuse her participation in the alliance," Eternal Dead said, chuckling .
"I see . " Realization dawned on Shi Feng . After all that talk, the Sacred Temple and Battle Wolves still had no intention of parting with additional profit . Shi Feng chuckled and said, "Since that is the case, please allow us to consider your offer properly and reply at a later date . Is that acceptable?"
"Alright . In any case, there is still a month before the next contest . It would be wise to take your time in considering our offer . " Confusion bubbled in Eternal Dead's mind as he watched Shi Feng, who appeared quite calm . He had never expected this man to refuse such a profitable offer .
After Eternal Dead disconnected the call, a playful smile appearing on his face .
"Guild Leader, did he agree?" Quiet Melody could not help but ask .
"No . He rejected it . It seems Phoenix Rain has a good eye for allies," Eternal Dead said, smiling . "However, he is foolish to pass up an opportunity to cooperate with our Guilds for the sake of a partner . "
The struggle for Thunder Island was more complex than he had anticipated . With the various superpowers in once place, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was insignificant, much less the Phoenix Pavilion .
If it had been that simple, he wouldn't have allied with Battle Wolves .
Now that Zero Wing had rejected his offer, it might not even secure 5% of the island's total profits .
Quiet Melody was stunned . She was surprised to learn that Shi Feng was so daring and straightforward . If it were up to her, she might have agreed without hesitation, yet Shi Feng had calmly rejected it .
Although she was happy for and envied Phoenix Rain as the woman's good friend, neither Phoenix Rain nor Zero Wing would obtain any profits on their own .
Following which, Quiet Melody related this news to Phoenix Rain .
…
"Big Sis Rain, Eternal Dead is really despicable . He actually tried to poach our ally midway through the contest . Fortunately, Big Brother Ye Feng refused the offer . " Blue Phoenix couldn't help but curse Eternal Dead when she heard about the deal .
"Although Eternal Dead's offer was underhanded, he wasn't wrong about us lacking naval strength . " Phoenix Rain smiled bitterly . At the same time, she also felt lucky and touched . If not for Zero Wing, she would've been eliminated from this contest .
…
Meanwhile, in the Orc encampment, Shi Feng didn't react to the previous conversation with Eternal Dead, continuing to appraise the Orc Chief's loot .
It's no wonder why the various superpowers had been so eager to obtain the Guardian Bosses' loot in the past . They drop quite an abundance of good items . Shi Feng excitedly gazed at the items in his bag .
The Orc Chief had dropped 32 items, twenty of which were various rare materials . Seven of the remaining twelve were Level 55 and 60 weapons and pieces of equipment, and the weakest of which was Fine-Gold rank .
The Orc Chief had also dropped the Tier 2 Skill Book, Holy Prayer, a Skill for healers . Holy Prayer was one of the rare Tier 2 AOE Healing Spells . It could easily go for several thousand Gold on the market .
The loot also included a Bronze Speedboat and two Dark-Gold ranked tooks: the Magic Rain Gun and Thunder Beast Skin .
The Magic Rain Gun could replace a speedboat's weapon and would display the power of a peak Tier 2 attack . The gun's Attack Speed was very high, and its attacks would inflict the Poisoned debuff, causing targets to lose HP over time and reducing Movement Speed .
As for the Thunder Beast Skin, it was similar to the Magic Whale Skin . When used on a ship, the Thunder Beast Skin increased the ship's Magic Resistance by 10%, Movement Speed by 4%, and durability by 10 points .
These items were all worth a fortune . However, even added together, they weren't worth as much as the simple necklace the Guardian Boss had dropped .
