207 Killing the Queen (1/2)
Shi Feng did not want this timeline to develop out of his control. If Stabbing Heart really wanted to raid one of the three great Dungeons…
He could only sternly refuse.
Stabbing Heart shook his head, faintly exclaiming, “It isn’t one of the three great Dungeons. It is just one of the 20-man Team Dungeons, the Beastman Munition Factory. That is a Level 10 to Level 13 Team Dungeon, and the equipment dropped there would be of great help to us when we raid the three large-scale Dungeons. Although we’ve already cleared the Normal Mode of that Dungeon, the Hard Mode is simply too difficult. We have been stuck at the first Boss all this time, so we wished to seek your aid.”
Shi Feng’s heart was slightly moved when he heard of the words “Beastman Munition Factory.” That Dungeon did indeed possess a lot of valuable items, especially the Basic Fire Resistance Potion Recipe and the Level 10 Swordsman Set Equipment, Wind Extinguisher.
It would not be a bad idea to make a trip there for these items.
“Fine, but I have a demand,” Shi Feng said.
“Brother Ye Feng, there is no need to hold back!” Stabbing Heart released a sigh of relief after hearing Shi Feng’s agreement. He was deeply afraid that Shi Feng would refuse.
“I want all the Recipes and Forging Designs we obtain from the Dungeon. In addition, I want priority over all Swordsman equipment. If you can agree to these conditions, I will have no problem offering my assistance,” Shi Feng listed his demands.
Stabbing Heart carefully considered Shi Feng’s words. If he were the one leading the team this time, he wouldn’t hesitate to agree to Shi Feng’s demands. However, the leader of the team this time was the Guild Leader of the Assassin’s Alliance, Cruel Sword. So, Stabbing Heart had no authority to make this decision.
“Brother Ye Feng, I have to consult with the Guild Leader about this matter. Can I give you a reply sometime later?” Stabbing Heart said with less confidence.
“Sure.” In any case, Shi Feng was not in a hurry. There was still some time before he could kill the Scorching Lamia.
\---
After Stabbing Heart disconnected the call, he immediately went up to the Guild Leader, Cruel Sword. Cruel Sword was currently a short distance away, clearing the monsters in the Dungeon.
Based on appearance alone, Cruel Sword looked very young, and his tall and robust body seemed full of energy. In actuality, he was already 39 years old. Normally, he wore a stern expression, and he would always look at others with an intimidating and penetrating gaze. His ferocious appearance was just like that of a warrior about to enter a battlefield.
In fact, Cruel Sword was a mercenary in reality. However, he had long since retired from his squad. After his retirement, he joined the then-weak Assassin’s Alliance, and after enduring over ten years of hardships, he finally managed to turn the Assassin’s Alliance into an apex second-rate Guild, gaining plenty of support and sponsors from large corporations.
“How did your negotiations with him go?” Cruel Sword turned his head and glanced at Stabbing Heart, asking sternly.
Previously, the Assassin’s Alliance had been stuck at the first Boss of the Hard Mode Beastman Munition Factory. Hence, Stabbing Heart suggested recruiting a god-ranked expert to help them. However, Cruel Sword felt that it was beneath him to do such a thing. _What god-ranked expert? Everyone’s just blindly overestimating him._
If it weren’t for the fact that Stabbing Heart had performed extremely well in recent days and been promoted to an elder of the Guild, Cruel Sword would not have let Stabbing Heart contact Shi Feng at all.
“He agrees to come, but he has a demand. He wants all of the Swordsman equipment and the Forging Designs and Recipes that drop.” Stabbing Heart carefully said, “However, I feel that Ye Feng is worth this price. After all, even the Snow Goddess greatly valued his performance.”
After listening to these words, Cruel Sword’s coarse eyebrows furrowed. He clearly felt dissatisfied about Shi Feng’s demands.
“Boss Cruel Sword, Ye Feng is truly powerful. Without Shi Feng, the Snow Goddess, Gentle Snow, might not have even obtained the First Clear of the Dark Moon Graveyard,” Stabbing Heart hurriedly said.
“Gentle Snow, is it?” Cruel Sword’s resolve slightly wavered after hearing this name.
Just half an hour ago, Gentle Snow had shocked all players throughout the entire White River City region, Cruel Blade included.
Gentle Snow had taken down the First Clear of four Level 10 Party Dungeons and two Level 10 small-scale Team Dungeons. Moreover, it wasn’t the First Clear of Hard Mode, but the First Clear of Hell Mode.
Simultaneously, her achievements signified the gap between her and the other Guilds growing even larger.
Moreover, Cruel Sword received information that Gentle Snow had already begun raiding the Hell Mode of a 20-man Team Dungeon. If Gentle Snow really succeeded...
She would no longer occupy the same playing field as the other Guilds within the White River City region.
