Feng Qinglan Goes Mad, Part 2
"???"
"???"
Feng Qinglan opened her mouth slightly upon hearing Cao Fengqi's words.
"I'll ask the guild again to see if we can get it. You can tell me the other conditions."
Her expression changed, and she spoke.
"No need to ask, if this condition isn't met, we can't discuss anything further."
Cao Fengqi looked at her and said directly.
"..."
Feng Qinglan paused, then nodded helplessly, "Alright, we'll get it for you even if we have to trade with other guilds."
"Originally I wanted 8 Holy Light Pearl, but now I only want 4. I was too kind. 1500 jin of level 7 Hard Gold, plus 60 level 6 Souls—that's a must. These are my conditions for joining. I don't need any high-ranking status or anything like that, just practical things."
"These are just the conditions for me to join; the subsequent benefits must be the same as those for Mystic Artificer of the same level."
Cao Fengqi smiled at her and continued.
"Um?"
Feng Qinglan was taken aback again upon hearing his words.
'That damned little brat really dares to ask for so much! The resources from conquering a Desolate Town are nothing more than this. My father gave me four Holy Light Pearl, 500 jin of level 7 fire-resistant hard gold, and 20 level 6 souls; this is the most he can give this little brat.'
'These invitation conditions are definitely no worse than those of other factions, and they're more than double what the official offers.'
She mentally scoffed, then looked at Cao Fengqi and shook her head in refusal. "Too much. You have to understand, although Spark is a large power, we also have a large number of extraordinary individuals, and we need a lot of resources."
"Your forging skills are indeed very strong, but they are not irreplaceable. If you can forge level 8 weapons and equipment, let alone these, we would agree to double the resources."
"..."
Cao Fengqi ignored her words, trying to discern her inner thoughts, his eyes flickering slightly.
It's a bit little, but acceptable.
After all, this was merely a condition for inviting him to join the Spark Guild; once he Spark, he would receive all the other benefits and perks he was entitled to.
"500 jin of level 7 metal and 20 level 6 souls, that's the most I can offer. Don't try to bargain with me."
Cao Fengqi up, and without beating around the bush, directly revealed her trump card.
"What?"
Feng Qinglan was taken aback by his words.
How did he know his bottom line?
'That shouldn't be the case. I didn't even tell Sister Youya this bottom line, how did this little rascal know?'
She was getting a little frantic. She had originally planned to have a proper negotiation with this kid this time, but unexpectedly...
"No, no, my brothers need 20 days to forge a level 7 weapon for the guild, but I want this kid to forge one in 15 days."
'We can't let this little bastard get away with it.'
She thought to herself, then shook her head again at Cao Fengqi: "Your demands are too high; I can't meet them."
She paused, then added, "If you agree to forge a level 7 weapon for the guild within 15 days, I'll give you some of my own resources as a subsidy, out of respect for Sister Youya."
"Can't do it, 20 days."
Cao Fengqi glanced at her. "If it works, it works; if not, then forget it!"
He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and nodded slightly. "It tastes good!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
'Damn it, damn it, why does this little brat act like he's got me all figured out? He's driving me crazy!'
'Something's not right... it's like she knows what I'm thinking. Does he have some kind of extraordinary ability? Or what?'
Feng Qinglan's expression changed, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"Okay, I'll grant your request."
After much deliberation, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed.
"Give them to me, I'll need these supplies later."
When Cao Fengqi saw that she agreed, he couldn't help but grin and held out his hand to her, revealing his true intentions directly.
"???"
Feng Qinglan was stunned for a moment, her gaze fixed on him. "You... how did you know?"
"Yes or no----"
She paused, her eyes flickering. "That Mad Whisper Prophet did the divination for you beforehand?"
Seeing the young man's actions, she was now certain that he possessed special extraordinary skills or items, or knew something through others.
For example... the Mad Whisper Prophet from Liangmin County.
"It wasn't Divine Granny who did my divination; I don't know her."
Cao Fengqi shook his head and smiled, "Give me the resources, and I'll tell you the answer."
"Good!"
Feng Qinglan was eager to know, so she stopped hiding it and took it out directly from her spatial storage.
Cao Fengqi saw it and put it away with satisfaction.
Xiao Youya, standing to the side, also looked at Cao Fengqi with surprise and curiosity.
"Now you can tell me."
Feng Qinglan stared intently at him.
"Actually, it's all my fault for this damned Beast Shepherd supernatural profession."
Cao Fengqi said leisurely.
"???"
"???"
His words startled the two of them, and Feng Qinglan's brows slowly furrowed.
"The Second Sequence Beast Shepherd Spirit Tamer has a skill called 'Its Knowledge of Others' Minds,' the 'It' in 'roof' radical, the 'It' in 'animal' radical, you should be able to read, right?"
Cao Fengqi's lips curled slightly as he stared at her with a playful expression. "Simply put, this skill allows you to sense the mental fluctuations of wild beasts, um, their thoughts..."
He revealed a little bit about it. Although his extraordinary ability was very strong, it was something that any extraordinary person in the Beast Shepherd Sequence could obtain, so it didn't need to be hidden.
If he's still considered 'guilty of possessing skills,' then even the Mad Whisper Prophet wouldn't need to live.
"Click-clack!"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of chopsticks breaking rang out.
Cao Fengqi paused and looked at her.
"Go on."
Feng Qinglan's face darkened, her gaze turning cold, and her chest heaving slightly.
'That little bastard, that bitch, what does he mean? What does he mean?'
She was furious, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Cao Fengqi paused for a moment, then looked at her and slowly said, "Sigh, it's all my fault for this damned Beast Herder Transcendent Sequence. I don't know why I was able to capture your mental fluctuations and obtain some information. Sigh, logically, its supernatural powers should only be able to capture wild beasts, so how could it capture yours? Could it be—"
"Are you a tigress?"
"???"
"Who... who are you calling a tigress? You... you bastard!"
Upon hearing his words, Feng Qinglan lost her composure once again. Enraged, she suddenly stood up, glaring at him like an angry tigress.
"Gulp!"
Her expression froze for a moment, then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
'Damn it, I'm bleeding! That bastard! He's infuriating!'
"Don't get excited, you tigress, let's have some space."
Cao Fengqi's face showed a strange expression. He picked up a piece of paper from the side and kindly handed it to her.
"..."
Feng Qinglan looked at the paper he handed her, stunned for a full few seconds, then completely exploded. "Cao Fengqi, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"Heh, you've taken my kindness for granted, you tigress! Now you're not even pretending anymore? Your true colors are showing!"
"I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget! I'll shoot you dead today!"
"Sister Youya, stop this mad tigress! I'm leaving now!"
The next second, under Xiao Youya's bewildered and astonished gaze, and with Fengyun Hong and the others outside looking completely dumbfounded, the two almost came to blows.
Cao Fengqi didn't hesitate and ran straight outside!
He's no match for this tigress now, so naturally he has to run away.
"..."
"Hahaha!"
Cao Fengqi couldn't help but laugh heartily as he emerged from the Transcendent Shelter.
That was so awesome!
Let you curse me in your heart!
I'll teach you a lesson for looking down on me when we first met!
He grinned. Cao Fengqi was the kind of person who would repay a small kindness with a great one, and the same goes for revenge.
He glanced back at the house, his eyes sparkling with joy as he walked home, thinking about his haul!
"Although it can only forge two Holy Light Cannons, it's not bad."
"After we finish building it, we'll go meet the Wraith Remains tonight and try to completely conquer Cangxuan Town!"
"Get those level 8 items, special treasures, and inheritance keys as soon as possible..."
The update schedule is messed up again...
