Chapter 595 - Nine Star Guild’s True Objective
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Apart from old acquaintances like Red Queen and the others, many other superstar players from other guilds also came to talk to Feng Luo, exchanging name cards and becoming friends.
Feng Luo did not decline their offers, as these players were not just superstar players, they were also potential clients for his Force Potion sales as well as his Legendary Grade equipment workshop.
However, the players from Nine-Star Guild who were acquainted with Feng Luo did not go to harass him.
While the battle in the hamada had ended, they still had not dealt with the research facility, and was the next priority.
The people from Nine-Star Guild had mobilized the robots and were moving towards the research facility to scout the area.
As an abandoned building, the base had not been maintained for many years. Many sections had collapsed. However, they did not encounter any problems when getting inside.
Apart from a few low level Young Hypertoxic Chameleons that did not have camouflage skills were easily dealt with by the players. The most difficult part was a large alloy door that was completely locked.
However, it was not something that the players could not deal with.
The Advanced Level Chip Master and Machinist that Nine-Star Guild brought along spent a few minutes to open the door.
After that, the core laboratory that had remained well-maintained appeared before their eyes.
The laboratory did not have anything valuable inside. At the very least, it did not have many completed pet biochips that many players had imagined inside.
Only a few pieces of potion production equipment and a few production materials that had been very well preserved remained inside.
The Poison Resistance Potion created after a refining process by Doctor players using the equipment and materials in the lab combined with the rare materials dropped by the Hypertoxic Chameleons was able to reduce the Hypertoxic Chameleons’ poison effect by 95% at most.
These lizards’ best attack method was their poison. Not only was their poison capable of continuously reducing one’s HP, but it was also able to impair a player’s vision.
In particular, the Quasi-Boss Grade Hypertoxic Chameleon, once bitten, apart from Heavy Armor Warriors, there was no solution available.
With these potions, if they were to ever encounter the Hypertoxic Chameleons again, the threat of the poison would no longer exist.
…
“Mr. Feng, the potion that you gave Jing Kong earlier… I’m wondering if you have any more?”
After thoroughly exploring the base and leaving a few players behind to produce the potion, the team was ready to head towards the next research base.
At that time, the deputy guild leader of Nine-Star Guild, Zi Wei, finally came to look for Feng Luo.
“Force Potion…” Feng Luo fell silent for a brief moment. He raised his head, looked at Zi Wei, and said, “I do have some with me… But I have a question. Can I take the liberty to ask you something?”
“Please go ahead and ask, Mr. Feng.” Zi Wei nodded.
“I wanted to ask… Is the Nine-Star Guild’s true intention for this expedition the pet biochip?” Feng Luo asked.
His question seemed odd. Technically speaking, the Nine-Star Guild most definitely took the abandoned ruin exploration mission for the pet biochips. Otherwise, why would they spend so much time and effort to get there?
Nonetheless, Feng Luo had his reasons for asking this question.
Unlike other factions, while there was the clause stating that the one with the highest kill contribution would obtain the Quasi-Boss’ chip, as the organizer, the Nine-Star Guild had over 200 players. They could easily clear the bases with their own strength and by doing so, guarantee themselves in obtaining at least one Quasi-Boss chip.
However, not only did they not do that, but they took the role of the vanguard, fighting battles at the frontline and clearing the way for the others.
“Haha, in truth, we don’t really have to hide this from you. Our guild is exploring for the pet biochip. However, we’re not after the Quasi-Boss biochip of these branch bases. Our true objective is the main base. Inside the main base, apart from the possible Boss Grade chip, from our mission information, there is also a whole set of pet biochip production equipment, rare materials, as well as related production materials…” As Zi Wei reached this point, Feng Luo understood what it meant and could not hide the surprise on his face.
Pet biochip production equipment. Naturally, there is no need to talk about its uses.
Although theoretically speaking, even if one were to obtain the equipment, one would not be able to immediately produce Quasi-Boss Grade chips due to constraints set up by the system, a guild could still be able to use it to bolster their influence and strength.
The Nine-Star Guild would be able to surpass the other normal guilds. It was possible for them to become the first mega guild that was filled with Elite Grade or even Commander Grade pets.
To a certain degree, production equipment like this was a lot more meaningful than a few pieces of Quasi-Boss biochips. No wonder they did not seem to care much about that Quasi-Boss pet biochip, and North City’s SK Guild which also had the same mission was probably aiming for the same thing.
“I certainly have Force Potions, but since I don’t have a lot on me right now, I can only provide you guys with nine.” At that moment, Feng Luo took a potion box out of his inventory and handed it over to Zi Wei.
With regard to the Nine-Star Guild inquiring him about the Force Potion, Feng Luo had expected it from the beginning.
He had asked the question he asked because he wanted to determine the value of the Force Potion to the Nine-Star Guild through Zi Wei’s answer. Then, he would be able to determine the credits as well.
The cost of producing the Force Potion was already quite high, it was a lot higher than normal consumable items.
He gave them so many potions because he had his considerations.
First of all, Nine-Star Guild had many members. As such, they had a larger demand. For example, Frontline Command’s device needed the Force to be truly effective in a battle.
Secondly, since he did not have a lot of potions available, if he were to give it to the other guilds or other random players, the others might come to him one by one and he would have no time to do anything else.
As such, he gave up his initial ideas and decided to let Nine Star-Guild become the Force Potion’s “representative.”
“These potions will start being auctioned at Huan Yu auction house in the near future. By then, I’ll have to humbly request for your prestigious Nine-Star Guild to help promote it a little.” Feng Luo said after Zi Wei received the Force Potions with a delighted face.
“Yes, but of course. Also, Mr. Feng, for these ten Force Potions, we’ll pay you by the price of the first batch of potion sold at the auction house plus another 50%.” Zi Wei’s reply caught Feng Luo by surprise.
The price of the first batch was definitely going to be very high.
Zi Wei also promised to add another 50% on top of that. It was incredibly generous. In addition, she also quietly included the one given by Jing Kong earlier in the calculation.
This made Feng Luo feel as if he was a little bit too calculative.
The way this woman worked, she really showed that she was among the most capable.
