Chapter 891- An agreement of power (2/2)
At this point, a male beside Clear Black Eyes coughed and said a few Indian words in her ear. I couldn't understand but it was probably to ask her to be more proper and not be so casual. Or maybe he also told her to be more serious to get this deal completed.
Clear Black Eyes straightened herself up — she sat there and did not move at all. She ordered the waiter to serve us some coffee and when it was served she cleared her throat and said, ”I think you know why I came to Hangzhou this time right?”
I nodded, ”Yeah, we need to discuss what kind of mode Waterfront City will be managed through.”
Clear Black Eyes smiled, ”Why not... Why not hand it over to the India War Region? Then we will sign an alliance to attack and defend together, how about that?”
”Give it to the India Region?” I couldn't help but laugh, using a spoon to stir the coffee in the cup. I said, ”Guild Leader Clear Black Eyes, let's not joke around. The China Region spent so many people and resources to take down Waterfront City. How can we just give it to you all like that? Moreover, how is an agreement in-game binding? It is too unreliable.”
One of the muscular guys beside Clear Black Eyes instantly became furious. He was probably a deputy guild leader — he placed down the coffee cup and said with broken Chinese, ”Our Guild Leader came here to speak nicely to you. She drove all the way from Shanghai here, and you are too arrogant. Watch the way you speak.”
Dong Cheng Yue was also furious and she smacked the table, ”Are you that [Beautiful Life] deputy guild leader Lei Heng? How can an IBN Battlenet expert level player talk to a grandmaster level player?”
I smiled, my eyes shining brightly as I said, ”That's true... Moreover, the China Region was the one that won Flaming Cloud City over. If it happens again, we will still win. You have already lost, so don't tell me you all can't accept it?”
Clear Black Eyes pursed her lips and said, ”Okay, stop arguing. I admit that the India Region is currently not China Region's match and our resources are too little. Halfway through, we were out of ammo. The Dragon Crystal Cannon ammo needed to be shaped from dragon bones found deep in the mountains. The strength of our players are also weaker than China, but Xiao Yao, you can't be so merciless right?”
I nodded and smiled, ”Yeah, and that’s why I was willing to sit here to talk to you. In the end, we have at most fifty million players, and if thirty million can go online, that is already a miracle. We won't be able to defend three cities. We need to be friends with India to a certain extent. Today we will speak openly, there is no need to hide anything.”
Clear Black Eyes gave a satisfied smile, ”Okay, then what are you planning?”
I sipped the coffee and then placed the cup down. I looked towards Clear Black Eyes and the four of them, ”After I gave up the choice for the city, I saw two new modes. One was to hand it over to players of another region without compensation and the other was to entrust. I have no choice but to entrust Waterfront City to you all.”
”Entrust?” Clear Black Eyes's eyes lit up, ”What is that?”
”If I choose the entrust mode to give Waterfront City to you, it means that the flags that hang in Waterfront City must be five-star red flags and China will be the main owner. But India Region players can move in as Masters. However, the rights of the NPCs within belong to China and after NPC troops spawn, they will be directly commanded by the Country War Warzone Commander. India players will be like guests. However, guild cities, skills, levels, etc will all maintain the same. Apart from that, the taxes will be split fifty-fifty between India and China. Do you follow me so far?”
All of a sudden, the other guy was furious and he smacked the table, ”Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you are too much of a bully. Since you want to entrust it to us, then why do the commanding rights of all the NPCs lie with China? Aren't you just raising us like pigs?”
My brow rose as I looked at him, ”Do you all want a main city or nothing because of your rage and let tens of millions of India Region players live in two sub-cities such that they can't find a single place to learn their six job advancement?”
”You!” That guy was so furious that he was about to explode.
Clear Black Eyes was still really calm. Her black eyes were filled with intelligence, ”Okay, I agree to this. However, if my guesses are correct, although the NPCs belong to China, the player army system will continue. So, players can recruit their own NPCs too. Speaking of which, the China Region wouldn't have total control of Waterfront City, right?”
I was silently shocked. This woman was too amazing. I nodded my head, ”Yeah, such balancing powers do exist. I also thought about this, however, in the short period of time, it is best if you all don't offend us. That would not be any good for you, apart from that...”
Clear Black Eyes's eyes lit up and smiled, ”I know... Apart from that, you went to Bright God Hall and recruited them as your own power. We fear their strength and before the players get their troops, we won't be able to fight back, right?”
I smiled, ”Smart. It feels so comfortable to talk to smart people like you.”
Clear Black Eyes giggled and said, ”Actually, I understand your thoughts. Although Waterfront City has been taken down, it is a hot piece of yam. LEE and Frost Forest will try to counterattack. At that time, China wouldn't be able to fight back. That’s why you want to let the India Region move in to use our power to suppress them.”
I answered honestly, ”Yes!”
Clear Black Eyes smiled, ”Okay, I agree to this agreement. But... I can't promise that we will never attack China. After all, Flaming Cloud City is our true home.”
I rested on the chair, crossing my arms as I smiled, ”That depends on when your wings have grown.”
