Chapter 708 - Unexpected Guests
Chapter 708: Unexpected Guests
The person who was on the other end of this call was Sheng Lian of the Public Capital Corporation.
The last time he gave up targeting Qin Feng, it left a knot in his heart, thinking that although Qin Feng’s strength was huge the group was young after all and had only been active for more than a year. This must mean that his men were easy to bribe, there were opportunities to be exploited!
As such, Sheng Lian dispatched an E-tier gunner, someone whose strength was not strong or weak, just enough that he could scope things out in Fengli City.
The person who called Sheng Lian was that spy!
Unfortunately, the spy had been there for a month and there was still no useful news.
Sheng Lian knew that such things could not be rushed, corporate espionage could take up to eight to ten years!
It was just that Sheng Lian did not know that the Fengli Organization had a profiteer like Xue Xingfu, some of the core secrets were held so tightly that nothing could be revealed. Moreover, how could Xue Xingfu not know that the other companies were gunning for their treasures?
If anyone were to join the core of the group, a detailed investigation would be carried out that might even trace back to an individual’s ancestors.
Of course the spy told Sheng Lian of the sudden situation that sprouted all over Fengli City during this special moment.
In the Sheng Manor in Dragon Capital, Sheng Lian was pacing back and forth.
“This Qin Feng must have gotten his hands on some Glittering Gold Sand. The item’s effects are exactly what’s happening!”
“That’s right, Qin Feng returned safely from that mountain, how could he have not gotten some?”
“And it looks like he’s buried the sand under Fengli City! Hahaha, how naive!”
In Sheng Lian’s eyes, even if it were to be buried, it should be buried in an area that only a high-level official in Fengli would know of, or a hidden realm, or some paradise, anywhere else that was a secret!
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng boldly buried it under his city!
“In that case, I guess I’ll help myself.” Sheng Lian smiled greedily, as if Qin Feng’s Glittering Gold Sand had already fallen into his grasp.
***
In the Battlegod Tomb, Qin Feng directly exposed the Glittering Gold Sand and placed it on the second floor’s passage. This place had long been converted into a special garden for spirit herbs, even the Pure Lotus had become something of a commodity in Fengli.
At this moment, as soon as the Glittering Gold Sand appeared, branches shook in the Pure Lotus Pond and newly born lotus flowers began to slowly bloom beautifully. It was later revealed that the lotus flowers were full of lotus seeds.
Not only that, there was a golden lotus among those that had bloomed and it was particularly eye-catching. That must have been the evolution of the Pure Lotus!
“Nice, these effects are out of this world!”
Qin Feng quickly collected the lotus plants and after the lotus seeds were taken away the Pure Lotuses withered away only to be replaced by a new batch of blooming lotuses.
Now, it looked like the golden lotuses occupied one tenth of the blooming flowers!
“What does the golden one taste like? I wanna try!” Bai Li came over, pouting her lips.
Qin Feng picked up a golden lotus seed and hovered it close to Bai Li’s mouth, feeding it to her before he ate one himself.
There was a kind of pure energy that flowed through him as it entered his mouth, traveling all over his body with an effect stronger than that of the normal lotus seeds. Something that seeped into his bones.
“I don’t feel any changes,” Qin Feng said, although he felt that it was quite soothing eating these.
Bai Li chewed on hers and said, “You don’t feel anything because your meridians are probably too wide. These golden seeds should be able to make your meridians flow better, maybe it even has healing properties!”
“Oh? Then we can get Xue Xingfu to try!”
Xue Xingfu was someone who naturally took to business like a duck took to water, but his strength held him back.
It had been half a year since the Prodigy Tournament and even Zhou Hao had scaled up three ranks in a row and reached D5-tier but Xue Xingfu had only just reached D-tier.
This was the result of the accumulation of resources. After all, Xue Xingfu did not need to lay a solid foundation while Zhou Hao was the kind of person who was in the pursuit of becoming a genius.
Xue Xingfu was only an ordinary D-tier aptitude user and had spent many resources. One could only imagine how bad his talent actually was.
However, Qin Feng did not give up on Xue Xingfu’s training. After all, before his rebirth, he knew Xue Xingfu as an A-tier aptitude user. A boss should give his employees benefits.
Xue Xingfu soon arrived.
As soon as he entered, he could feel the change in the general atmosphere of the area.
“Chief, you should have said hello in advance, the PR team’s very busy right now. If you wanted to pull off something like this you could have at least done it in the Battlegod Tomb!”
“If I put it in the tomb you wouldn’t have agreed with me if I took the Glittering Gold Sand out!” Qin Feng said.
Xue Xingfu was unabashed and put on a coy smile. “How is that possible, oh President, how dare we refute your words? I support you, one hundred percent!”
“Then why would I still be talking with you people?”
Xue Xingfu’s face immediately fell.
Qin Feng smirked. “Don’t worry, the sand in Fengli City is only a small portion. The main portion is still in the Battlegod Tomb!”
Xue Xingfu was taken aback, then he asked very carefully, “Boss, how much did you get this time? I didn’t receive much news on this!”
Qin Feng did not intend on hiding it from Xue Xingfu. He said that he had collected during the Kounsat incident and some at the bottom of the ocean. All of the sand was collected and placed inside the Battlegod Tomb!
Xue Xingfu looked at all of the sand that was placed in a huge pit and quietly calculated in his mind. With his talent for business and his SSS-tier intellect, he still could not accurately predict a price for these things.
“Not a drop of the sand can be sold, the poor man’s crime is owning jade! People will be gunning for this!” Qin Feng said in a serious tone.
Xue Xingfu regretfully retracted his gaze. “Boss, you still took some sand out!”
“It’ll look more magnanimous that way. After all, this will let many aptitude users know that I’ve obtained these things and will come over in the future but once I explain that I’m using these things they wouldn’t have a reason to try and take them!”
“Clever, very clever. Looks like the president is exceeding expectations!”
“Stop bootlicking, try out this golden lotus seed for me!”
At this time, the second batch of Golden Lotuses had bloomed and Qin Feng swiftly collected the bunch. After taking some, Xue Xingfu felt his meridians widen, making them more suitable for practicing ancient martial arts.
It could be said these lotus seeds would enhance people’s ancient martial arts potential.
These sorts of things were priceless and now it would become an important resource for the leaders of the Fengli Organization in the future. The future was bright for this company.
After that, Qin Feng took the herbs he collected from the Divine Mountain and placed them in the Battlegod Tomb. After working for two days, he finally left the realm.
The moment they reappeared, Qin Feng and Bai Li looked at one another.
From what they could sense, it seemed like some unexpected guests had arrived!
