Chapter 933 - 933 Strike First, Selling Something (2)
933 Strike First, Selling Something (2)
Feng Wu continued, “The strength of the golden-winged roc race is even above that of the silver scale race. The silver scale race ranks ninth, while the golden-winged roc race ranks sixth. The difference isn’t small. Although the bai ze race ranks eleventh, that’s because there are too few of them. In fact, in terms of individual strength, the bai ze race can definitely rank in the top five!”
Then he smiled awkwardly. “Lord, I’m just spouting nonsense. Just listen. Don’t take it seriously.”
Every time Feng Wu finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. But every time, he couldn’t help saying a few more words. He didn’t know when he would change his habit of talking too much.
Zhou Shu was deep in thought. The three races ranked sixth, ninth, and eleventh among the ancient races had destroyed the fire race. The top ten ancient races were not ordinary races. Their strength was already in the first echelon of this world. What could attract the three races to attack together?
Previously, Zhou Shu had thought that it was because the fire race had invented how to cultivate. But now, it seemed that this wasn’t the case.
From what Feng Wu said, the three races seem to be looking for something. What are they looking for? Zhou Shu subconsciously glanced in Ling’er’s direction. Damn it!
His first reaction was that the item might be with Ling’er.
Zhou Shu’s expression was solemn. He realized that the situation might be even more serious than he had imagined. Just destroying the asura race and the black feather race didn’t seem to have solved the problem.
To cause three of the top ten races of ancient times to join forces, no matter what it was, it was definitely extraordinary.
The three races probably wouldn’t take action so easily. Otherwise, this silver scale race member wouldn’t have appeared.
Even his first reaction was that the item might be with Ling’er, let alone people from the three races.
Originally, Ling’er’s identity could still be hidden. But just now, for some reason, she had suddenly awakened the Fire Phoenix True Spirit. With such a huge commotion, it wouldn’t be easy to hide this.
Since Feng Wu could rush over after hearing the commotion, it meant that there were countless people who saw this scene.
“The one who strikes first gains the upper hand, and the one who strikes later suffers,” Zhou Shu mumbled.
“What did you say, Lord?” Feng Wu asked subconsciously.
After asking, he regretted it. He couldn’t help slapping his mouth. Who asked you to talk so much?!
Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on Feng Wu, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
For some reason, Feng Wu felt a chill run down his spine, and the hair on his back stood on end.
He squirmed unnaturally and took a step back silently.
It wasn’t that he wanted to escape, but he felt that it was safer to stay away from Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu glanced at him. “Feng Wu, help me do something, and I’ll let you go.”
“Lord, I’m just an insignificant traveling merchant…” Feng Wu said carefully.
Zhou Shu’s expression darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. A seemingly tangible killing intent assaulted him. “You’re not willing?
“If you’re unwilling, then there’s no value in your existence. I can send you on your way for free.”
Feng Wu’s entire body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Although he wasn’t familiar with Zhou Shu’s word usage, this journey was definitely not the same as what he was imagining.
“Lord, it’s not that I’m unwilling. I’m just afraid that I’m not capable enough and will ruin your plans,” Feng Wu hurriedly said. He had an intuition that if he didn’t speak quickly, he would probably never have the chance to speak again.
“Are you doubting my judgment? If I say you can do it, you can do it,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Feng Wu’s body stiffened as he smiled bitterly in his heart. Am I doubting your judgment? I’m afraid that I’ll be played to death by you.
Why am I so unlucky?!
Feng Wu was about to cry.
“Lord, I’m willing to help,” Feng Wu said unwillingly with a long face.
“But Lord, you can’t blame me if things go wrong,” he added nervously.
“If you screw up, who else should I blame if not you?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Feng Wu opened his mouth, his mouth full of bitterness. This is too much. I’ve already said that I’m not capable, but you’re forcing me to do it. You even want me to take responsibility if I mess up. You’re too much!
“Didn’t you say that you’re the best traveling merchant in the world? If you can’t even do such a small thing, what’s the point of keeping you?” Zhou Shu continued. “I want you to sell something to the golden-winged roc race.”
Killing intent flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes.
Originally, he had thought that if the silver scale race didn’t come looking for trouble, this matter would be over.
But now, it was probably impossible to hide Ling’er’s identity as a member of the fire race. Once her identity was exposed, the silver scale race, the golden-winged roc race, and the bai ze race would definitely come looking for her before long.
In that case, he naturally had to strike first to gain the upper hand!
Before coming to this world, Zhou Shu had no scruples. Now, he wasn’t afraid of causing a scene. In any case, it was fine as long as the giant spirit race was still around!
“Selling something?”
Hearing what Zhou Shu said, Feng Wu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Selling things was his forte.
“Lord, what do you want me to sell to the golden-winged roc race?” Feng Wu asked curiously.
There’s a remnant of the fire race… And she’s hiding in the giant spirit race. If the golden-winged roc race finds out, the giant spirit race will definitely suffer.
Could it be that the giant spirit race wants to please the golden-winged roc race and ask them to let them off?
Or could it be that what the golden-winged roc race and the others are looking for actually fell into the hands of the giant spirit race? And now, the giant spirit race wants to use this thing to exchange for some benefits from the golden-winged roc race?
At the thought of this, Feng Wu’s heart beat rapidly, and his face heated up.
It was a treasure that could move the hearts of the golden-winged roc race, the silver scale race, and the bai ze race. They were even willing to destroy a race for it. If he could sell such a thing to the golden-winged roc race, wouldn’t he be the most accomplished merchant in history?
Feng Wu had no intention of coveting this thing. He knew his own ability. Being able to sell it was already his greatest blessing. As for obtaining it?
He wasn’t stupid. For this thing, the entire fire race had been wiped out. How many lives did he have?
“Don’t worry, Lord. There’s nothing in this world that I can’t sell!” Feng Wu patted his chest with high fighting spirit. “As long as you believe me, I promise to sell it for you at a satisfactory price!”
Just now, Zhou Shu had forced Feng Wu to do it. And now, Feng Wu was begging Zhou Shu to help him do it.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he, Feng Wu, could make this deal, then he would definitely leave a mark in the history of the griffin race!
Which merchant didn’t want to sell the treasures coveted by the top ten races of the myriad races?
If he could do this, he could brag about it for the rest of his life!
“To be honest with you, Lord, I’ve dealt with the golden-winged roc race before. Leave this matter to me. You’ve definitely chosen the right person. I’m the best merchant in the griffin race. Apart from me, you definitely can’t find another person who can do this well.”
Afraid Zhou Shu would change his mind, Feng Wu continued, “Lord, I promise you that if I screw up, I won’t have any complaints even if you take my head away!”
“I like how confident you are.” Zhou Shu looked at Feng Wu with a faint smile. “If you can really do this, not only will I let you go, but I will also give you some benefits.”
“Lord, you asked me to do this because you trust me. I don’t need any benefits,” Feng Wu said righteously. “This time, I don’t want any benefits. Lord, just wait and see. I, Feng Wu, have existed all my life to accomplish this great thing. If I don’t make the golden-winged roc race pay a high price, then I will be incompetent!”
“Mm?” Zhou Shu didn’t know why Feng Wu was suddenly so energetic, but this was a good thing. If he really did a good job, Zhou Shu really didn’t mind giving him some benefits.
