MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 919 - Negotiation

Chapter 919 Negotiation

“Level 11 ingredient Ground-hearted Gra.s.s, Level 11 ingredient, Fire Jade Pearl, Level 11 ingredient Water Origin, Level 11 Mothercloud’s Essence…”

Li Yi stood in the auction house as he bought the ingredients required according to the G.o.d’s Gift Potion Formula.

The reason Li Yi had collected many rare ingredients in his personal vault was that he was preparing to promote his Apothecary to G.o.d-tier. He now could put everything to good use and some of the common Level 11 ingredients could be bought in the auction.

He spent half an hour to purchase the ingredients. He had gathered all of the ingredients needed to create G.o.d’s Gift, except for one.

The remaining item was the Winged Ruler’s Feather and Moonlight was the only one who would drop it.

He had to seek trouble with the Moonlight the Winged One In order to make G.o.d’s Gift.

However, Li Yi was thinking of seeing a certain someone before he went to mess with Moonlight the Winged One.

At the Falcon Post situated in Brokeback Mountain.

This was the most deserted dessert in the Western Continent, but it was densely populated with high purity crystal mines and high-level herbs. It had attracted countless players to all year round and the most prominent power was Aryan, which was a branch of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

Aryan had been occupying the mining zone for many years and it had been endlessly supporting the Fluttering Snow Alliance with supplies. Were it not for them, Fluttering Snow Alliance would have fallen a long time when Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine teamed up to attack them.

The Fluttering Snow Alliance had been very secretive when to came to protecting the Aryan Guild. If Shen Lang had not found out about it, no one would know that Aryan was a branch of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

In order to protect the Aryan Guild, the Fluttering Snow Alliance would often put on an act of raiding Aryan. They would steal all their minerals and kill all of the members. Both parties would occasionally flame each other on the World Channel so that outsiders would have the impression that they were rivals and hated each other a lot.

With this strategy in place, they had protected the Aryan Guild while allowing them to acc.u.mulate wealth quietly, allowing the Fluttering Snow Alliance to function normally.

When Li Yi was still in the Little Drunk Cat Guild, many merchants had reached out to Li Yi on their own accords for advertis.e.m.e.nt due to his reputation. He was easily earning millions from a casual endors.e.m.e.nt. The Fluttering Snow Alliance was able to do so in the past life as well. However, in this life, who would want to reach out to them when there was the infamous Li Yi?

In other words, the Aryan Guild was the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s only hope in this life. They would definitely fall if Aryan was attacked as well.

While Li Yi was spending his ten days in the Endless Sea, the war between Bai Xiaoya and Autumn Love did not stop. Bai Xiaoya had no choice but take loans at incredibly high-interest rates to make sure her stock flowed continuously while Autumn Love had already expressed her intention from the very beginning. She did not mind losing a thousand as long as the enemy was losing five hundred.

Brother Windcloud Nine’s wealth was so great that he was able to take a beating, but Fluttering Snow Alliance was already on the verge of defeat. To begin with, the Alliance operated on a tight cash flow. Now that Aryan had been attacked, where could they find more money?

Countless Aryan members were stark naked as they laid around Brokeback Mountain, and a huge number of well-equipped players from the Ninth Continent and Savage Continent guarded the corpses. They would instantly kill them again as soon as one of them stood up.

It was not going to end any time soon and none of them could even stand up!

The Aryan Guild had approximately fifty thousand members but there were more than one million players guarding their corpses.

This fatty was trying to benefit others by stabbing his foes at the back. He had made a public announcement that those who went to guard the corpses will be able to enlist themselves into the National Elite.

The National Elite was a new benefit when the National System had been promoted above Level 5. Players who had this t.i.tle would be able to obtain a salary from the National Quartermaster every month.

Brother Windcloud Nine followed suit as well when he realized how effective this was. Hence, the number of players heading to Brokeback Mountain multiplied.

The Fluttering Snow Alliance’s army tried to stop them multiple times, but it was quite ineffective. The Fatty and Brother Windcloud Nine were ready and as long as Bai Xiaoya dared to bring players over here, they would instantly issue a King’s Order to order the others here.

Although the Fluttering Snow Alliance had quite a number of players, they were far inferior compared to the two super countries. They fought multiple times and the death toll was uncountable, their losses immeasurable.

They were not able to win in both trade wars and battles. Bai Xiaoya had been frantically reaching out to Li Yi for the past ten days. She had no other option as she knew very well that n.o.body was able to solve this entire ordeal. Li Yi was the only one could.

This time, Bai Xiaoya’s message reached Li Yi just as he came out from the Tower of Remorse. She offered 1,000,000 Gold Coins on the spot to ‘invite’ Li Yi to pay a visit to the Falcon Post. Her sincerity was much more apparent than her previous attempt.

In order to express her sincerity, the 1,000,000 Gold Coins Bai Xiaoya offered was transferred into Li Yi’s account in advance.

Since Li Yi possessed the Emperor Sword, it took seconds for him to reach the Falcon Post.

All it took for Li Yi was to wave his hand and he would arrive at the Falcon Post.

Li Yi entered the Falcon Post and Bai Xiaoya, who was wearing a half silver mask, stood up to greet him.

Bai Xiaoya was the only one inside the post and the setup was simple as well. A stone table and two stone chairs. Nothing else.

“Have a seat, Castellan Dark Wing.”

Bai Xiaoya’s lips moved softly as she bowed down to invite him.

Li Yi put on a vague smile and sat on the stone chair without courtesy.

“Is there any matter for you to look for me today, Military Adviser Bai?”

“Hehe, it’s an urgent matter that requires Castellan Dark Wing’s a.s.sistance.”

Bai Xiaoya sat down as well.

Li Yi crossed his arms and squinted at Bai Xiaoya. “Oh? An urgent matter up for discussion? Military Adviser Bai, you’ll have to show me your sincerity then.”

“Sincerity?” Although confusion was written all over Bai Xiaoya’s face, she was scolding how much of a b*stard Li Yi was on the inside. She had already given him one million Gold Coins and now he wanted more sincerity? Shameless!

Li Yi opened his arms. “By sincerity I mean… Can you take off the mask on your face? Let’s meet sincerely so that the problem can be solved smoothly.”

Li Yi had a small regret from his past life. He had never seen Bai Xiaoya’s face before. How could he let the opportunity slip now that he had the chance?

Bai Xiaoya hesitated for a moment before reaching out her hand and taking the silver mask off herself.

Her face was small and exquisite. With those small, curly, and thin lips of hers, she was quite a beauty. However, the vibe she was giving off from her face would make people rather unhappy. From Li Yi’s perspective, she sort of resembled Ding Minjun from Relying on Heaven to Slaughter Dragons[1].

Her words were sharp and cruel, and it gave off the vibe that she was always setting up people.

“Castellan Dark Wing, is this enough? I’m not used to this.” Bai Xiaoya was holding her silver mask. She wanted to put the mask back on, but she was afraid of upsetting Li Yi. Since she was the one requesting help, she had no choice but to oblige Li Yi’s request.

“Let’s just stay like this. Seeing each other sincerely.”

“Alright…”

Bai Xiaoya placed her mask into her bag.

“Castellan Dark Wing, just tell me your demands. I’ll do it as long as it’s within my reach.” Bai Xiaoya went straight to the point.

“Is anything possible as long as it’s within your power?”

Li Yi subconsciously looked at Bai Xiaoya’s chest and she was incredibly uncomfortable at that moment.

Rumor had it that Dark Wing was an extreme pervert. It seemed that the rumor was true.

Bai Xiaoya gritted her lips and she did not dare to show it on her face. Whether the Fluttering Snow Alliance would continue to operate would depend on this huge pervert standing before her.

“Castellan Dark Wing. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.”

“Ahahahaha…”

Li Yi laughed exaggeratedly before he became serious again. “It’s actually not hard to solve this incident. All you need to do is to give back what I’ve lost.”

“How much are we talking about?” Bai Xiaoya raised her eyebrow.

“1,000,000,000 Gold Coins!” Li Yi demanded an astronomical amount.

Bai Xiaoya was speechless.

She did not know what to say. She would not have sought Li Yi out for negotiation if she had a billion Gold Coins. Bai Xiaoya was very confident that she was able to defeat Autumn Love in the trade war even if she had five hundred million instead of a billion.

Unfortunately, she did not even have a hundred million Gold Coins to spare.

“Are there any other ways?”

“Yes, I want 50% of the Aryan Guild’s profit. I won’t eat you alive, all I ask for is three years’ worth of profit.”

Bai Xiaoya was speechless.

How was this not considered eating her alive? The Aryan Guild was the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s lifeblood. If they were to give out 50% of the profit to him, it was basically the same as disbanding the Alliance.

“Castellan Dark Wing, these two conditions that you requested I…” Bai Xiaoya bit her lips and she stopped talking.

“Is it too hard for you?” Li Yi took out a small booklet from his s.h.i.+rt and threw it onto the table.

“The Falcon Post was not Aryan’s ingredient source[2] in the past because it was originally occupied by a guild named Ultimate Legends. However, good things never last. Ultimate Legends occupied the place for only half a year before a certain someone used an underhanded tactic to force them out of this area. Am I right Military Adviser Bai?”

Bai Xiaoya took the booklet, read a few pages, and threw it back down.

Inside a record her achievements, scams, framing other guilds, stealing resources in the dark, and so on. Everything was recorded in detail.

“In order to seize the venue of Fire Cloud Mountain Herbs, you teamed up with the Absolutely Merciless Guild with ill-intent. Ultimately, you moved their resources away secretly, forcing the Absolutely Merciless Guild to disband as they’re in debt. Military Advisor Bai, you’re responsible for this too, right?”

“In order to…”

“Stop.” Bai Xiaoya waved her hand as she admitted everything that was recorded in the booklet.

“I can’t accept your first request, but I’ll need to discuss with the guild for your second request.”

Li Yi nodded as he stood up. “No problem. I’ll wait for your good news.”

Bai Xiaoya stood there indifferently and spoke up out of the blue just as Li Yi was about to exit. “Castellan Dark Wing, I hear that your relations.h.i.+p with my sister is quite good?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Can you lower the profit for her sake? I really can’t make the decision if it was 50%. However, it should be fine if it’s 30%.”

Li Yi was delighted.

He did not expect Bai Xiaoya to say such a thing.

Sister?

The Cat that Sings?

“Perhaps I’ll consider it if Cat personally requests it from me…”

Li Yi stopped as he was halfway through as he turned around and smiled at Bai Xiaoya. “Recently, you’ve gathered quite a large amount of stock, right? Hmm. I think you should sell them at a low price.”

Click…

Li Yi waved his hand as he used Teleport and disappeared.

Bai Xiaoya gritted her teeth and clenched her fists for a long time. Soon, she calmed down as she sent out a message tiredly. “Give out the order to sell all of the items at a low price. The buyer will be Autumn Love. We’ll absorb all the losses!”
