"Although Priest, if a skill is prone to causing conflict, its use should indeed be carefully considered."

Opposition was also present.

The player named "Mint Early Summer" responded in the thread:

"Let me state upfront that I have absolutely no interest in your partner; they are not my type."

Those familiar with the God's Domain know that I always keep a clear distinction between games and personal relationships.

"At the time, I chose to attach myself purely for efficiency in dungeons; Spirit Transformation was just an ordinary skill for me."

"If I had known that someone would care so much, I wouldn't have done it even if they begged me."

"It's absurd that this has escalated to this point. I have left the Fixed Team, and the cooperation between Meow Meow Meow and Dragon Soul guild is terminated immediately."

"I wholeheartedly support Sister Xia! She can concoct so many dramas just by possessing someone; why don't you all go on stage and perform?"

"I've never felt there was anything ambiguous about Spirit Transformation; it's simply a way to conserve energy."

An anonymous user commented. "Female Priest tend to overthink things, while we male Priest have never been bothered by it. I even use it as an excuse to relax."

"The person upstairs is probably Kongkong; remaining anonymous is useless."

"Male Priest are simpler; they rarely have these kinds of entanglements."

That statement is rather arbitrary...

"Watch your direction! Someone's gone off-topic!"

As the subsequent floors became increasingly distorted and the content became almost unbearable to look at, Zhang Mingzhen frowned deeply, feeling the words burning before his eyes, and a heart full of confusion choked in his throat.

"What kind of nonsense is this? These good-for-nothings actually have time to devote to such pointless things?"

"Monsters roam the outside world; this is the end of the world!"

Zhang Mingzhen unbelievable.

He could understand what these people were saying, but he didn't understand their awareness of their current situation—even as the top-ranked individual, they dared not relax for a moment, spending their days thinking about how to cope with future challenges and improve their chances of survival.

These people are here, enacting a grand love story?

That's ridiculous.

Once the game throws in a few more natural disasters, they won't have time to get entangled in these trivial disputes.

"Exactly! Great master, I think the same thing! These people's minds are truly unfathomable." The Red Garment in red chimed in enthusiastically.

But Zhang Mingzhen didn't see anything wrong with him; on the contrary, he suspected that this person had probably also actively participated in the discussion in that post.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to Dispel the gossip he had just glimpsed from his mind.

Their feud is none of my business; you can handle it yourselves.

"Ten explorations a day should yield ten portions of Hundred-Vein Fungus; I need to see results by tomorrow."

In exchange, I will give you 30%; you can discuss the specifics of how to allocate it yourselves.

"It's settled then."

"From now on, it's best not to use such situations as an excuse for not achieving your goals, and certainly don't present them to me."

Before he finished speaking, he ignored the possible response from the Red Garment and left the rugged stone forest with the Nine Yin Candle Dragon.

Now that this re-evolved pet has reached level 60, it is strong enough to provide comprehensive protection for itself and can venture into higher-level wilderness areas to train and level up.

It was truly inappropriate to waste so much time observing a bunch of useless trifles.

"Hey, expert! Our deal hasn't even started yet..."

Seeing that the other party had departed at an astonishing speed, the Red Garment dared not disturb them again through the friend channel, lest she annoy them.

They had no choice but to put the transaction on hold and deal with the related matters concerning Hundred-Vein Fungus first.

He immediately reported to his superiors that "Chongxing" had left the Strange Stone Forest and that they could send people to take over the wild monster resources in the area.

As for the Hundred-Vein Fungus, he pondered for a moment and decided that he should first deal with "Meow Meow Meow".

Guild contact.

After all, its president is "Early Summer".

They are someone with whom we can communicate rationally, and besides, our Legion and the Meow Meow Meow Guild have always had a harmonious relationship.

Having made up his mind, he immediately contacted Early Summer through the friend system and invited her to discuss the matter in person.

When the Red Garment arrived in Early Summer, she was leading her guild members on a hunting expedition in the wilderness.

"Maintain formation and do not advance recklessly. Wait for the monsters to enter your attack range on their own! The ranks must not be scattered; do not be greedy and impulsive!"

Early Summer was directing her team to maintain the rhythm of the battle, she saw the Red Garment, who had contacted her earlier, gracefully descend from the sky and come to her side.

She knew perfectly well why he had come.

This person had tried to persuade her once before, but she had refused. This time, he came again.

"No need for further explanation. There's absolutely no way I'll take the initiative to find that shameless couple."

"I don't see eye to eye with them, and I need to save face, Red Garment, you don't need to waste your breath."

Before the woman in Red Garment could speak, Early Summer interrupted her abruptly.

"Exactly! Why would our Sister Xia go out of her way to make things difficult? Our Meow Meow Meow Guild doesn't need to beg anyone!" The one who chimed in was "Little Reserve," a female player with a talent for Detection.

As Early Summer's best friend, she naturally stood firmly on her sister's side.

"Oh, you're mistaken," the Red Garment quickly said with a smile. "How could I not know that your guild is so powerful?"

"But what about Resurrection Potion? Of all the brothers in the guild, how many of them have such a life-saving item?"

"We can't risk our own safety just because of a moment of anger."

The Red Garment knows the background of Early Summer: she is backed by a large conglomerate, comes from a prominent family, has been pampered since childhood, and has an arrogant temperament.

She may personally possess the resurrection drug, but the quantity must be limited.

Moreover, even if such a thing existed, it would likely only be the kind of "Resurrection" potion with a 30-day cooldown period, which could hardly compare to the miraculous effects of the current "Ninefold Rebirth" medicine.

She must have been aware of the difference between the two, otherwise she wouldn't have shown hesitation in her expression.

Seeing that his attitude was softening, the Red Garment pressed her advantage. "I understand that you come from a wealthy family and don't care about money."

"But there's no reason to turn away a resurrection potion that's offered to you."

"And it's getting increasingly dangerous now, so it's always better to be prepared."

"The Chongxing has promised that as long as we prepare all the materials, he will take 30% of the resurrection drug."

"At that time, your side will be responsible for collecting the Ghost-Type materials, while our side will procure the Spirit-Type materials."

"Of the 30% that we receive, we'll split it evenly. What do you think?"

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small 30% share; the production techniques are in the hands of others, and there's nothing that Chongxing can do about Chongxing. How much you get depends entirely on the other party's wishes.

Getting 30% is already an acceptable result.

Although Early Summer was unwilling to show weakness and bow her head, reason told her that for the sake of the brothers in the guild who followed her, she probably had no choice but to agree to this condition.

She was by no means the kind of person who was irrational and acted like a spoiled princess.

As the only daughter of the family, she was raised as the future heir from a young age, and she still possesses basic judgment and magnanimity.

Moreover, the environment is becoming increasingly dangerous, and much of the family's business has been destroyed.

It's called a conglomerate, but if it doesn't scale back in time, it'll soon become like the Xu Family.

If the other party isn't overly aggressive, for the sake of the elders in my family and the brothers in my guild...

Seeing that she was indeed interested, the Red Garment added fuel to the fire, "I have already informed the Great God Chongxing of the entire situation on your side."

"Upon hearing this, he was filled with righteous indignation and quite angered by the injustice."

"He stated frankly that, as Priest, he is on your side both morally and logically."

"If I hadn't strongly dissuaded him, he might have gone to the 'Dragon Soul' guild to demand an explanation!"

To persuade Early Summer, Red Garment went all out: he went all out to create a new image for Chongxing.

Clearly, he didn't yet understand Zhang Mingzhen's true character.

Otherwise, I would never dare to do that.

He still hadn't fully integrated into the post-apocalyptic environment and was still acting with his old peaceful ideas: doing so could easily lead to deaths.

He portrayed Zhang Mingzhen as a passionate, outspoken, and straightforward character, which unexpectedly touched Early Summer.

The "Little Reserve one" standing to the side was dumbfounded, even temporarily forgetting to fight the monster she was attacking. "Are you serious? The expert really said that? He supports us too?"

"Absolutely true!"

"You have no idea, after I finished explaining the whole story, the expert immediately concluded that the other party was being unreasonable. I almost couldn't stop him from expressing his indignation!" the Red Garment added fuel to the fire.

In order to achieve his goal, he ignored the dangers involved.

I just felt that as long as the other person didn't know, it would be fine.

"The expert is indeed a reasonable person! Sister Xia, with the expert on our side, what is there to worry about?"

"The man in Red Garment is right. We can't just give away the benefits we've already gained."

With the "Little Reserve" agreement from the person involved, Early Summer finally nodded slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, go and tell them I agree to cooperate."

"But one thing needs to be made clear—this is only a temporary alliance; there has been no true reconciliation between our two guilds."

"My concession was made purely for the safety of our guild members."

Upon hearing this, not only did the Red Garment with joy, but her teammates from the "Meow Meow Meow" guild also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Early Summer, they didn't have any powerful connections or resurrection potions, and they didn't dare stray too far from the Priest in the wild.

If this deal goes through, they might be able to get some of the Resurrection Potion too.

They don't want to lose their security because of some gossip.

"Alright, you guys keep leveling up, I'll go deliver the message to Dragon Soul now."

"If they dare to be ungrateful, our Legion Guild will be the first to object!"

Despite her strong words, the Red Garment immediately switched to a humble demeanor once she stepped into Dragon Soul's territory.

It must be said that the Legion chose him as Chongxing's exclusive liaison officer not only because of his outstanding combat skills, but also because they valued his rare "flexibility".

--In the Legion Guild, people who are as flexible and adaptable as him are rare.

After all, many people still hold onto the arrogant attitude from before the game's apocalypse, acting like administrators. They claim to provide service, but deep down they're always thinking about how to manage you.

Instead of serving you.

After being informed in advance, he was led into the Dragon Soul Guild's interior, where he found "Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry" already sitting in the Council Hall waiting for him.

"Hmph, Red Garment, here you are again."

"Didn't I say last time? There's absolutely no way we'd cooperate with Meow Meow Meow."

Before he could speak, "Fengming" cut him off.

This woman is indeed difficult to deal with; I really don't know how Longyin can stand her.

Another laborer, a sly old man, Zhou Ren...

The woman in Red Garment muttered to herself, but her face remained all smiles. "Beautiful Fengming, you've misunderstood me. I didn't come here to advise you."

"It's just running errands for Early Summer to deliver a message—they've already bowed down to you!"

"It seems they couldn't resist the magic of the resurrection potion after all, which is why they sent me to discuss cooperation."

A slight smile finally appeared on Fengming's face, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? You said back then that you would never cooperate with Dragon Soul again, you were so resolute, but now you're regretting it."

"Yes, yes, after all, the scale of Meow Meow Meow can't compare to that of the Dragon Soul."

"Chongxing God Chongxing agreed to share 30% of the finished resurrection potion, they couldn't sit still."

"Which guild isn't short of resurrection potions these days? Everyone's waiting to be saved."

Upon hearing this, Longyin finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Is Chongxing really going to give us 30%? Are you sure?"

The reason they refused to cooperate before was because they estimated that, given Chongxing's personality, he wouldn't give them much at all.

If it were just a few resurrection pills, I could grit my teeth and refuse; but if it's 30%, that's a completely different story.

Moreover, this is a long-term supply, so its value is self-evident.

That petty squabble is nothing.

"Absolutely true."

"Our Legion will be responsible for providing the spiritual materials, and your two guilds will be responsible for collecting the Ghost-Type materials. Afterwards, our Legion Guild will only take 6% of the total amount, and your two guilds will each take 12%. No one will be at a disadvantage."

"Our Legion now controls most of the Spirit-Type herbs, making this a very worthwhile deal."

After a moment's thought, Longyin Yin nodded.

He couldn't possibly refuse— Dragon Soul was the culmination of the efforts of both families, and he couldn't let personal likes or dislikes exclude its benefits.

Even Fengming, who was initially reluctant, dared not say anything more at this moment.

"Cooperation is cooperation, but our two guilds will still go our separate ways."

"And you, Longyin, you are forbidden from having any further contact with that Early Summer!"

"Of course, of course, it's purely a business collaboration."

The Red Garment chuckled in agreement, but inwardly she couldn't help but think: Do you think they want to associate with you? They're probably looking down on you more than they can handle.

I'll never take this kind of job again; it's too damaging to my image.

Everyone outside knows he's a tough guy, so what's with him acting like a pushover here?

They absolutely must demand more pay when they get back.

"Master, it's all done! They've agreed to cooperate!" As soon as she left the Dragon Soul Guild, Red Garment couldn't wait to contact Zhang Mingzhen.

Don't mention them to me.

"You will deliver the materials to me directly each day."

Zhang Mingzhen gets a headache just thinking about all the messy stuff on the forum now, and doesn't want to ask any more questions.

"Oh..." The Red Garment had nowhere to vent his overwhelming sense of accomplishment; the master hadn't given him a chance to show off at all.

He then went and showed off to someone else.

"Qin Xiao, listen to me! I just sorted out that thing with Meow Meow Meow and Dragon Soul!"

"I'm still the best, aren't I? Now our Legion's resurrection potion problem is finally solved! Let me tell you..."

Qin Xiao frowned before he could finish speaking and immediately closed the chat window.

He was currently working on a dungeon, and the final stage of the Sword Cavern battle was fast approaching, so it was definitely not the time to chat with the Red Garment about the results of the battle.

The woman in Red Garment was efficient and decisive, managing to get the two guilds to join forces in just one day. Regardless of whether the cooperation went smoothly, the ten portions of Hundred-Vein Fungus) were indeed delivered on time every day.

Therefore, Zhang Mingzhen is not far from collecting ninety-nine Resurrection Potion.
