Chapter 155 Imposter

"Miss Shui Se has something urgent?" Shi Feng was slightly surprised.

"Yes, although I can't tell you what it is, I, Shusheng Tanxiao (Smiling Scholar), can replace Miss Shui Se in the transaction with you."

However, Shi Feng didn't quite believe it.

Each transaction resulted in huge benefits for both parties. Logically, nothing should be more important than this. Even if there was an emergency, she should have contacted him in advance, but Shui Se Qiangwei (Water Rose) hadn't done so.

He looked at the Maitreya Buddha in front of him, his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face, looking harmless, but exuding a shrewdness that only seasoned business people possessed.

Virtual reality. In this world that was just like reality, both the player's appearance and expression would be fully displayed.

Shi Feng, with ten years of experience in Conquering the Gods Domain, saw a hint of glee and panic in those small eyes.

"Since Miss Shui Se is busy, let's postpone our transaction until next time." Shi Feng smiled faintly and stood up abruptly. "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

Hearing that Shi Feng was leaving and had no intention of trading, the Maitreya Buddha's expression changed suddenly, and a trace of anxiety appeared in his friendly smile, especially when he saw that Shi Feng had already stood up and was about to leave.

"Grandmaster Black Flame, don't be in such a hurry. Although Miss Shui Se didn't come, our Twilight Echoes has come with full sincerity. The price we offer is definitely 30% higher than what we said before." Shusheng Tanxiao also stood up quickly and grabbed Shi Feng, saying.

"30%, it seems that your sincerity is really sufficient." Shi Feng stopped and turned to look at the anxious Maitreya Buddha with a smile. "Since you've said so, let's talk about the price as we said before."

"Of course, of course." Shusheng Tanxiao nodded repeatedly, his friendly smile blooming again.

Soon, the two sat down again and began to discuss the transaction.

"I wonder if you brought the things I asked Miss Shui Se to bring last time?" Shi Feng asked.

"Grandmaster Black Flame, take a look." Shusheng Tanxiao took out the ore bags. Most of them were solid stones, as well as many rare forging materials.

In addition to taking out the current largest-capacity of five 400-slot ore bags, Shusheng Tanxiao also had a black leather backpack. Many runes were engraved on the surface of the backpack, which was obviously not ordinary.

"As expected of Twilight Echoes, they even managed to get their hands on the Magic Rune Ore Bag." Shi Feng was secretly surprised.

The Magic Rune Ore Bag was a Dark-Iron-grade ore bag, which was much larger than ordinary ore bags because it was equivalent to a huge storage space. Its pure capacity was four times that of ordinary ore bags, as high as 1,200 slots.

However, it was not easy to obtain this item. It only had a chance to drop when killing Lord-level Bosses in the mines.

Compared to the last time, the transaction volume was extremely large. Shusheng Tanxiao prepared more than two thousand stacks of solid stones, as well as three hundred stacks of Fine Iron, four hundred stacks of Silver Ore, two hundred stacks of Mithril Ore, and even one hundred stacks of Gold Ore, which the Star-Moon Kingdom did not currently have.

How much manpower and resources would it take to get so much stuff?

This was the strength of a first-rate guild, far from what ordinary guilds could compare with.

"Okay, this is what Miss Shui Se requested last time. Excluding these ores, plus the 30% price increase you mentioned, just give me 120 million Credits." Shi Feng took out a system-encrypted letter and placed it on the table. This was information that only the designated person could see, and outsiders could not see it no matter what method they used.

Hearing the 120 million Credits, Shusheng Tanxiao was stunned. He almost spat out the black tea he was drinking, and the teacup fell to the ground with a shake of his hand.

"120 million Credits just for this encrypted letter?" Shusheng Tanxiao looked at the white envelope on the table, his face as ugly as could be. Then, his narrowed eyes suddenly opened, staring at Shi Feng with a chilling gaze. "Grandmaster Black Flame, you're going too far. We're full of sincerity, you shouldn't do this, are you underestimating our Twilight Echoes, not taking Miss Shui Se seriously?"

Even if Shusheng Tanxiao was stupid, he knew that no transaction could reach this terrifying amount. That was 100 million Credits, not 100 million Underworld Coins, enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a lifetime. Even he couldn't earn that much money in his entire life.

The only possibility was that Shi Feng was playing him, or that he saw that he was an imposter. However, to be on the safe side, he still brought up Shui Se Qiangwei's name.

Shi Feng smiled faintly, completely ignoring Shusheng Tanxiao's cold glare and threat. He said unhurriedly, "Why would you say that, Scholar? Didn't you propose a 30% higher price?"

"I completely followed the previous agreement and took out what Miss Shui Se wanted. Could it be that Miss Shui Se forgot to tell you, or are you just an imposter?" Shi Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he questioned loudly.

"You!"

Shusheng Tanxiao was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Because Shi Feng was pretending to be confused, but he couldn't say it outright.

"Grandmaster Black Flame, of course I was invited by Miss Shui Se, please stop testing me, Miss Shui Se never agreed to this matter." Shusheng Tanxiao was not stupid either, thinking that this was Shi Feng testing him, so he calmed down.

"Testing? Why would I test you?" Shi Feng laughed. "I'm very serious. Miss Shui Se didn't mention even such an important agreement before, and you don't know about it either. It seems that you really are an imposter. Then I'm really sorry, the transaction ends here."

Saying that, Shi Feng stood up, ready to turn around and leave.

Now Shusheng Tanxiao was also confused. He couldn't tell whether what Shi Feng was saying was true or false. At first, he thought that Shi Feng was playing tricks, trying to deceive him, but now it didn't seem like it.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong? The real thing they want to trade is actually this letter?" Shusheng Tanxiao felt that his brain was not enough, completely unable to guess Shi Feng's thoughts.

He was still full of interest before, but now he was leaving coldly. What exactly did he want?

He fully understood the benefits that Shui Se Qiangwei brought through the transaction. If every transaction had such great benefits, and it could be maintained, then other first-rate guilds would not be able to compete with them at all, and they would be destined to become a hegemon of a country.

The benefits of just becoming the lord of a city could attract investment from those world-class consortia. Not to mention hundreds of millions, even tens of billions were possible. If they became a hegemon of a country, they could get investment from more than a dozen large consortia. The Credits earned would be unimaginable, and the 100 million Credits in front of him were nothing.

However, 100 million Credits was not a small amount, and the many ores in front of him were collected with great effort. If they were all given to Shi Feng, they would suffer a great loss.

It could even be described as hurting their vitality.

Of course, if there really were such great benefits, it would also be a huge improvement for Twilight Echoes, becoming the overlord of the royal city in one fell swoop.

However, Shusheng Tanxiao couldn't guess Shi Feng's thoughts at all. He didn't know if Shi Feng was sincere in continuing to cooperate. With his status, he didn't dare to gamble.

"Grandmaster Black Flame, please wait a moment. Could it be that Miss Shui Se forgot? Let me ask Miss Shui Se first. If there's no problem, 120 million Credits and these materials are all yours." Shusheng Tanxiao decided to stabilize Shi Feng first, and then report to his superiors, letting his superiors make the decision, so he would not have any responsibility.
