Chapter 958: 958 Chapter 958 - Inconceivable Zero Wing
"If you can't make a decision right now, you can return after discussing it with your Guild Leader . However, I can only give you a day to consider," Bloodfang did not believe that there was another option for cooperation . He believed that Zero Wing could not afford to hand over that much money in such a short time . "One hundred thousand Gold is no small amount . I do not believe that Zero Wing can collect that much money in so little time, either; you can pay 40,000 Gold upfront and the remaining 60,000 in the next five days . "
Raven was currently broke . They had used almost all of their money to reconstruct the town and hire the necessary NPC guards .
However, these NPC guards were still not capable of standing against all those monsters .
If they wanted to defend the town, they needed to construct the defensive magic array . With the magic array and the NPC guards, they should survive through the 15-day protection period . As long as they constructed the Defense Turrets during the protection period, they could begin mining the Manatite vein without issues .
"Guild Leader Bloodfang, 100,000 Gold is just too much . Even Zero Wing can't spend that much money," Shi Feng again rejected Bloodfang's offer . "Why don't we try a different method of cooperation? Zero Wing will be responsible for protecting the town . However, you will pay us 30% of the vein's income . "
He still needed a large sum to construct his own city . How could he possibly give Raven his Coins?
Moreover, even without the defensive magic array and NPC guards, it was possible to prevent monsters from trampling the town .
He could simply head to Blackwing City and purchase a Monster Repellent Scroll .
The Monster Repellent Scroll was an item that could disperse monsters within a certain area, preventing low-intelligence monsters from actively approaching . Although the effect was temporary, the scroll was very cheap . Each scroll only cost 5 Gold . It was much more cost-effective than constructing a defensive magic array or Defense Turrets .
In God's Domain, the defensive magic array and Defense Turrets were mainly used during monster raids . When dealing with players, however, they were not as effective as NPC guards, yet they cost far more .
Rather than wasting money on that particular plan, Shi Feng would be better off investing his money into his own Guild or somewhere else .
Generally, the monsters that raided towns and cities possessed very low intelligence, so the Monster Repellent Scroll could chase them away . As for using the scroll against the Abyss Invasion, very few abyssal monsters possessed low intelligence . Hence, the scroll wouldn't be as effective .
"Let Zero Wing defend the town?" Bloodfang could not help but laugh at Shi Feng's proposal . "It's not that I am looking down on Zero Wing, but rather, these monsters are over Level 100 . There are thousands of them . With players' current strength, it is impossible to defend against such an onslaught . And even if you succeed, why should I give you 30% for defending the town when I can ensure its safety for 100,000 Gold? Wouldn't that be more of a loss? If this is your offer, I would rather contact several other major powers . I believe that they will be more than willing to cooperate . "
Zero Wing was not Bloodfang's only option . The only problem was that none of the major powers could afford a 100,000-Gold investment . However, he did not necessarily need 100,000 Gold . As long as he had the initial 40,000 Gold, he could construct a sufficient number of hotels during the 15-day protection period . With a place to replenish their Stamina in, his subordinates could mine for Magic Crystals continuously . He could earn enough money to construct the required Defense Turrets before the protection period ended .
However, Raven would have to be particularly frugal during this period .
"If so, I have another suggestion . For each monster raid Zero Wing stops, Raven will pay 6,000 Magic Crystals . What do you think of that?" Shi Feng casually suggested .
"Are you serious?" Bloodfang asked in surprise .
If they utilized this method, the town's income would belong to Raven fully . As long as they could begin their mining operation, Raven wouldn't have any financial problems . They could quickly construct a powerful defense . Only, the initial period would be the most difficult .
He hadn't expected Shi Feng to be interested in such an exchange .
Had Shi Feng simply handed over 100,000 Gold, he could have received 20% of the town's income . As time passed, he would earn far more than 100,000 Gold, yet for short-term profit, he had given up on a future goldmine . Bloodfang found it hard to believe that a large Guild's upper echelon would make such a rash decision .
"Of course, I'm serious . I've already discussed this with my Guild Leader, and he has approved . Now, it is up to you whether or not to accept this condition . " Shi Feng chuckled .
"Alright, I agree to work with Zero Wing . I just hope that you don't regret this decision," Bloodfang said . Even after watching Shi Feng for a long time, he did not understand the man's thoughts . He could not figure out what Black Flame, Zero Wing's Guild Leader, was thinking, either .
The only reason he had agreed to offer Zero Wing a share of the town was because he had worried the Guild would not be willing to fork over the money . That Zero Wing had refused the shares, only asking for some Magic Crystals, was good news for Raven .
The monster raids did not occur every day . Generally, they only attacked every other night . Even if Zero Wing defended the town from ten attacks, he would only spend 60,000 Magic Crystals . When the town's defenses were complete, he would not need Zero Wing's assistance .
Based on the current market price, each Magic Crystal was worth 25 Silver . Even if Zero Wing defended the town for twenty days, he would only spend 15,000 Gold . No matter how he looked at it, he would profit from this trade .
Following which, Shi Feng signed a contract with Bloodfang . As long as Zero Wing helped Raven defend against a monster raid, Raven would pay 6,000 Magic Crystals . Moreover, the payment could only be made in Magic Crystals . If Raven could not pay up, it would have to pay five times the value of the Magic Crystals with Coins or other products . Aside from that, Raven must also allow Zero Wing to construct a Guild Residence in the town so that Zero Wing's members could travel here easily .
Of course, if Zero Wing failed to defend the town, it would have to pay Raven a reconstruction fee of 30,000 Gold .
"It is highly likely that the next raid will happen tomorrow night, but I can't say for sure . I hope that you will be prepared before then . " Although Bloodfang had signed the contract with Shi Feng, he was still worried . Could Zero Wing really defend against that many monsters?
"Rest assured . Once Zero Wing's Residence has been constructed, you won't have to worry about monsters," Shi Feng replied confidently .
Now that they had signed the contract, he was in a great mood .
Although it seemed as if Raven had just secured Zero Wing's help, dealing with the Dark Guild's biggest concern, Zero Wing would gain far more than 20% of the town's income . However, Bloodfang didn't know this .
While the Monster Repellent Scroll was very convenient, it also had a huge flaw .
The scroll could only chase monsters away, not exterminate them . As they fled, the monster army would grow . When players stopped using the Monster Repellent Scroll, the subsequent raid would be intense, even horrific .
As long as the army grew four or five times, the town would fall even if they had thirty turrets…
