Chapter 604: Empty the Vault

Quong Ting teared up after being scolded by her father . She felt aggrieved after all that had happened to her .

Quong Po realized he had been too harsh and quickly explained in a softer tone, “The color of the runic equipment comes from the chemical used to dissolve the beast material . In contrast, the tesseract would break down the material directly without any additives . This is truly an advanced technology that we have not seen before . I have to admit that this is very useful to a master of concealed weapons like me . ”

Quong Ting still felt dejected after listening to her father’s explanation but decided to swallow her emotions .

Quong Po then turned back to Qin Feng and said, “Qin Feng, this tesseract is very important to me . Are you willing to sell it to me?”

Qin Feng frowned and replied, “This is equally vital to me too, Master Quong . ”

Quong Po was baffled . From his perspective, Qin Feng did not really need the tesseract . But that was only because he did not know how fast Qin Feng had and would evolve .

To keep up with his ever-growing strength, Qin Feng needed the tesseract to further hone his Verdant Emperor Saber as well as other equipment . Though at the moment he had yet to fully utilize the tesseract, it was not an item he would sell off easily .

“Master Quong, the reason I am showing this is not that I want to offer it to you . I am just letting you know that such a thing exists and would probably suit your needs,” Qin Feng said .

“My apologies . You would be of great help if you are willing to help me make customized knives . Please, this is very important to me . Maybe we can come to an agreement? What’s your price?”

Since Qin Feng did not wish to sell it, Quong Po could only propose a trade for the products .

But Quong Po did not know what the suitable price to offer was . This market was completely in Qin Feng’s grasp .

Qin Feng thought about it and said, “I don’t wish to take advantage of you but if I charge you too little, then you might feel like you are owing me a favor . Let’s settle on the market price—20% of the price of the materials used . ”

This price had been fixed for a long time . A G-tier beast king material in Wanzhong auction would cost 5 million while turning it into a weapon would cost another 1 million .

It now depended on what grade of weapon Quong Po wanted to make .

Quong Po laughed and said, “That’s fair . I think you have already been too generous . ”

Qin Feng smiled . “Mr . Quong, you better give it careful thought . These new knives are going to be your weapon for the rest of your life, and they come without any apparent weaknesses . It would be a waste if you go back to C-tier materials . ”

Quong Po realized he had an important decision to make .

Indeed, it would be best to use the finest materials if his knives would have no risk of being taken away by his enemy . After reaching B7-tier, Quong Po’s vision had widened a lot too .

Most aptitude users wished to use equipment made from materials under the same tier . However, it was easier said than done . This was because it was usually difficult for an aptitude user to defeat a beast king from the same tier .

“You are right . ” Quong Po had clearly made up his mind . He then said, “It’s already quite late . Allow me to invite you two to have dinner with me . As for the tesseract, we will get to it tomorrow . ”

“Sure!”

After dinner, Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to the hotel .

Qin Feng took out the fruit given by Quong Po . Though Bai Li refused to take it, he insisted and pushed the fruit into her mouth . He took the other one and realized it tasted bitter and was hard to swallow .

“Little cunning fox . You knew the fruit would taste terrible . That’s why you refused to take it!” Qin Feng pouted and then drank a mouthful of water .

“Yucky . But Quong Po is really generous . This fruit probably cost a lot in the human market . ” Bai Li could now evaluate things and knew that this fruit was a rare find .

Qin Feng nodded . “Quong Po had been a B-tier for more than thirty years . A concealed weapon is what made him famous but that is also his downfall . Since his weapon could be controlled by others’ consciousness, he has been avoiding conflict with people and focused on hunting beasts instead . ”

You lose some, gain some . Though he could not absorb the beast’s energy and evolve like Qin Feng, Quong Po still managed to climb through the ranks steadily and reached the respectable B7-tier after surviving one after another deadly fight with the beast .

In fact, a beast would more or less leak out some energy after being killed . Even without absorption, being constantly exposed to the aura of a powerful beast would probably still help to strengthen one’s power . That could explain why Quong Po could attain such a high tier by hunting beasts alone .

“I see . Sometimes I am confused . Why do humans like to fight against their own kin? It’s not that you people have to fight over territory like beasts…” Bai Li asked .

Beasts liked to fight for territory but humans were social beings . It was indeed true that they did not need to fight to the death as some species did .

Qin Feng had no answer to Bai Li’s question . But he still needed to explain the reality to Bai Li clearly .

“I believe it all boils down to self-interest . Quong Po might have a lot of wealth by avoiding conflict with people . But he would have won much more if he had chosen to compete with others . Sometimes these things just develop naturally . ”

Qin Feng lamented, “Take Fengli as an example . I don’t need to do anything now and could earn a lot by selling weapons alone . This will turn into a modal for me to buy other stuff to further improve myself . Most importantly, I could have all this without risking anything . The problem is, others would want what I have and live my life . That’s why the president from the Red Sun Corps wanted to kill me so badly . ”

Bai Li nodded and seemed to have understood something .

“I see . You need to buy food for me, too! We have a lot of money now . I can also earn by myself now . ”

Qin Feng laughed, “That’s why we are powerful . ”

While talking happily with Bai Li, Qin Feng had no idea Quong Po was currently emptying his vault because of his suggestion .

Quong Po was rich but not one of the wealthiest . A few trillions of capital was common for a B-tier aptitude user . Nonetheless, it still took several years of saving and careful financial planning .

Guang Wei immediately went bankrupt after compensating 5 trillion to Qin Feng .

The material Quong Po was buying was unimaginably expensive too .

It was a B-tier beast emperor material .

Dusan Central City was a dangerous frontline settlement . Thus, plenty of valuable resources could be found in the market . Just recently, an A-tier had killed a B-tier beast emperor—an insectoid queen .

It was a gigantic monster with an impenetrable shell .

The material had since been put on sale but due to its giant size and exorbitant price, it was still hanging at Wanzhong’s warehouse waiting for its buyer .

Quong Po did not hesitate and spent 6 trillion on the shell and some of the finest power cores .

Not only that but he also needed to pay Qin Feng 1 . 2 trillion the next day . Quong Po instantly became a pauper after spending so lavishly on his future .
