Chapter 704 - S-tier Manuals (1/2)

Shang Han gave him a number—it was just half of what Qin Feng and Tung Yang harvested together. This was even less than the Glittering Golden Sand that Qin Feng secretly harvested himself. It was just a small drop of what he got from the Devil Mountain and Siren Cherub.

Naturally, Qin Feng frowned. “Then how much stock shares do I get?”

Shang Han answered, “5%.”

“What?!” Qin Feng was obviously unsatisfied with this offer. “This isn’t a fair deal for me!”

Shang Han, however, seemed to not agree. “Beihua City’s annual income from tax collection is around 100 trillion. You’ll be taking a five-percent cut, which nets you around 5 trillion. This isn’t an income that any mere B-tier could dream of earning in a year, you know?”

Qin Feng said, “But I have Glittering Golden Sand. These are valuable treasures. If I sell some of those that I have right now, I could at least get 1 trillion in total. But if I’m signing this contract with you, I’ll need to wait for twenty whopping years to get this amount of money. How is this a good deal for me?”

“Qin Feng, I can also grant you greater access in the city. Like, you could get your hands on the other treasures in our vaults. There are a lot of high tier martial art manuals in there.”

“Do I get to read even the S-tier manuals?”

After hearing this, Shang Han was tongue-tied.

Beihua region did not have many S-tier martial martial arts or power manuals. The ones that they had were limited—and those were only granted to the ones with the highest authority. The city was built upon these things after all!

To be even more specific, these S-tier scrolls did not really belong to Beihua—they belonged to the Shang family, the founders of the city.

“But you’re still a B-tier. It’s too early for you to touch S-tier manuals!”

Qin Feng smirked. “Dear Regent, I didn’t know that you think so poorly of me. But I am more than that. I give you my word, I won’t need twenty years to ascend to greatness. In fact, I could ascend to A-tier within a year! And if that’s the case, I cannot agree to this unfair deal.”

Shang Han was stunned after hearing what he had to say. The expression that she showed, however, was not when one had heard a bluff. On the contrary, it seemed that she was moved and convinced by his words.

Therefore, she clenched her teeth and replied, “Alright then. I’ll grant you access to the manuals. But you are only allowed to make a copy of them and not to ever bring them out in the open. And after you’re done learning them, you must destroy the copies at once and never teach them to anyone.”

“Certainly.” Qin Feng nodded. This was a fair request.

After he was reborn, Qin Feng had only gotten his hands on just one S-tier manual, which was the S-tier neigong “Asteroid Assimilation”. Aside from that, he was not able to find and acquire other S-tier manuals. Right now, all that he had were low-tier moves, like Sky Burning Sword Style and Dragon Steps. With his power growing so much recently, these moves were starting to feel insignificant and were not enough to wield the great power he held within him.

Without his Verdant Emperor Saber, his formidable internal energy and years of combat experience, Qin Feng would not be able to defeat any stronger enemies with just these moves.

As such, seeing that they had finally come to an agreement, Qin Feng signed the deal. After signing the papers, Qin Feng was eager to visit the vaults to read the manuals.

“I thought of making you a general first. But… since you’re so excited to get the S-tier manuals, let’s go there first then!”

Shang Han took out a blue stone and started to fuel it with her internal energy. Qin Feng could feel that the runes that were swirling inside were resonating the same way as his Battlegod Token did. A moment later, Shang Han gave Qin Feng another stone of the same kind.

“Bai Li, stay here. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay!”
