Chapter 460 - A Mountain Out of Nowhere (1/2)

“Welcome, my distinguished guest. It was thanks to your help that we could handle this rare occurrence of the beast horde. I have prepared a small gift as a sign of grat.i.tude. Hope you will like it.” Ah Psai signaled for his man to hand out the gift to Qin Feng.

It was a wine that was filled in an elegant crystal barrel. Of course, this gift did not come cheap.

The wine was brewed using special spirit fruit found in Psipur City. One bottle of this was priced at a few ten thousand in the outside world. One barrel might be worth at least 10 million, which happened to equal the reward for killing an E-tier plow worm.

“Thanks, Chief.”

Ah Psai laughed heartily. “I wonder why an apt.i.tude user of your caliber is here in Psipur? Perhaps you are also interested in the treasure rumored to be hidden in the heart of the mountain ridge?”

“To be honest, that’s exactly my purpose here.” Qin Feng admitted calmly.

Jin Fei and Guo Song were not told anything and thought that was the true objective of Qin Feng coming to Psipur.

Ah Psai’s laugh became louder and he said, “Haha! Then I hope you get what you come here for!”

Qin Feng raised his cup and drank merrily with Ah Psai.

But on the inside, Qin Feng had long seen through the chief’s true skin and scoffed at his pretentious generosity.

There was only danger lurking in the mountains of Psipur. All the fake news about the hidden treasure was purportedly spread by none other than Ah Psai himself.

For instance, there was a record on the battle net claiming that an F-tier had infiltrated the mountains before. He discovered a bone in the process, which he later found belonged to an A-tier beast emperor and earned a few ten billion.

Another case recorded that a small expedition team went into the mountains and came across rare wild herb there. The team members turned against each other for the herbs and all ended up dead inside the mountain and were never seen again.

Information like this was aplenty from multiple sources but Qin Feng knew they were all just smokescreen.

A diversion created by Ah Psai. He did so because Pispur did not belong to the human alliances. He was afraid that some powerful apt.i.tude user might fancy his colony and rob it from him.

Thus, he diverted these apt.i.tude users’ attention by claiming that there were treasures in the mountains.

If needed, he would even go as far as to poison the visitors to protect his throne.

Simply put, the chief of Psipur was a narrow-minded man. He clung tightly onto the position and did not want to surrender it to anyone.

Qin Feng did not expose the man. After all, he had his own Aircraft outside of the city and had no interest in moving in.

Ah Psai suspected nothing or perhaps he did not see Qin Feng as a great threat. Hence, he did not poison Qin Feng’s wine.

It mattered not whether Ah Psai applied the poison or not. Because anyone who entered the mountains almost always encountered miasma that was highly lethal to humans. Qin Feng would not live long anyway if his intention were really those fake treasures.

These incidents were revealed when the Human Alliance finally decided to hunt down Ah Psai for his crime.

But this had nothing to do with Qin Feng. Different people had different means to gain power. In exchange, they needed to prepare to face the potential consequence.

Eventually, what goes around comes around.

After the feast, Qin Feng did not stay for long and returned to his aircraft.

Ah Psai’s subordinate reported back to Ah Psai immediately after he escorted Qin Feng back to the aircraft.

“Chief, I don’t think that guy has any ill-intent against our city. But he owns an aircraft that I have never seen before. It looks rather high-tech.”

The subordinate then showed Ah Psai the aircraft through a communicator.

The communicator technology of course had long reached Psipur City. He just never allowed it to popularize among his people. He had to keep people in Psipur uninformed about the outside world to maintain his authority.

Ah Psai saw Qin Feng’s aircraft and was drooling over it. But then he shook his head regrettably.

“It’s too huge. We have no use for it even if we raid it from him now. Just wait and see what he is up to.”

“Roger!”

After Qin Feng returned to the aircraft, he ordered his members to walk around freely and hunt as they like. He also gave them permission to keep the rewards.
