Master of the End Times

Chapter 560: Arduous and Thankless Task

Qin Feng remained calm and there were not any major changes in his facial expression.

“Regent Shang, if that’s what you are thinking, I might have to disappoint you!”

“I knew it!” Shang Han was not surprised by the answer at all!

Qin Feng did not go on further on the topic and shifted the focus to something else. “From my encounter, I have obtained some new technologies from other regions, however, with my current capability, I do not have extra manpower resources to analyze such items, hence, I am proposing a cooperation with you, Regent Shang!”

Certainly, Shang Han was extremely delighted, Qin Feng’s news was her exact expectation.

Of course, compared to the others, it was a partnership with Qin Feng and not a trade, and it was a special treatment only for Qin Feng.

It was because of Qin Feng’s capabilities and his status of being a powerful figure.

However, Shang Han still added on, “For the long amount of time that you have spent in the region, you must have obtained a huge number of items, if any influential parties from the Dragon Capital were to offer you an opportunity for cooperation, you should also engage in discussion with them!”

Qin Feng nodded and indicated his acknowledgement.

Both of them exchanged some other information before the call was ended.

Then, hasty footsteps were heard from the outside of Qin Feng’s door.

As expected, Qin Feng was then alerted by knockings from the door.

Bai Li reached out to the door and it was Zhou Hao and Jin Fei.

“Little Feng! You are safe!” Zhou Hao was relieved to find out that Qin Feng was safe, however, he then acted in an unusual manner and exclaimed in exaggeration, “You have advanced to a new tier now!”

Qin Feng patted on Zhou Hao’s shoulder and answered, “You are doing quite well too, surprisingly, you are a D1-tier now!”

To advance a tier higher to become D-tier within half a month was definitely an impressive speed of advancement!

“Jin Fei is doing quite well too!”

Qin Feng took a look at Jin Fei who was standing beside him, obviously, both of them had been notified by the news and rushed their way there!

“Chairman, such an unfortunate and disgraceful event!” Jin Fei expressed himself.

Qin Feng laughed, as it was the same brief response that he had given to the tower guardian of the Dragon Gate Tower! However, Qin Feng knew that Jin Fei meant what he had said, and it was his genuine appreciation toward his cultivation.

Both of the youngsters were full of potential, and in the future, they would become the helpful assistants of Qin Feng.

“Good, very good!”

After they had greeted each other with excitement, obviously, there were serious matters that they had to discuss later. Zhou Hao briefed Qin Feng on the internal matters such as the instability among the members, aptitude users that were worried, and also the ancient warrior families that were itching to act.

Although the recordings from the Prodigy Tournament were compiled and broadcasted to keep everyone informed that Qin Feng was the top-tier Hero Class, however, everyone was worried by Qin Feng’s delayed return from his training within the unknown dimension.

“It was all because of the absence of a powerful figure to fill in the top post!” Qin Feng had already expected such a situation; therefore, he had been dedicating his effort to cultivate Zhou Hao and Jin Fei under him.

Although Zheng Qian and Chen Xiang were C-tiers that were available within the organization, they were the Fengli Mercenary members that were independent from the Fengli Organization, and Zheng Qian and the others had not been to Fengli City before.

Overwhelming expansion would often cause unstructured and unsteady foundation.

“I will take care of these later!”

“Hmm, since you are back, everything will be easily resolved!” Obviously, Zhou Hao felt much more relieved.

“Do not spread the news about my return first!” Qin Feng ordered.

“Alright!”

As soon as the conversation with Zhou Hao, Jin Fei and the others had ended, Qin Feng’s communicator was flooded with alerts. At a quick glance, Qin Feng knew that those influential figures from the Dragon Capital, Western, Eastern and Southern regions were contacting him via his communicator.

Some of them were even directly connected to his communicator and he could barely cope with the sudden spike in communications.

Zhou Hao and Jin Fei noticed Qin Feng’s unavailability and excused themselves.

Despite the hassle of entertaining everyone that had approached him, Qin Feng did not reject any of the powerful figures with their proposal for collaboration. Being an elder himself, Qin Feng did not want to isolate himself from the others, with his past years of experience before his rebirth, he was already honed with well-rounded skills to handle matters by himself.

“Elder Long, hmm, I know, but I have just returned, and I have yet to find out about those interesting items!”

“Oh? General Nangong, yes, if possible, you will definitely be in my list of collaborating partners!”

“Exactly, I have yet to get any rest, alright, I will definitely keep you informed!”

All of the communications were handled by Qin Feng in an organized manner, while some were handled by messages, and all of them were invited to a reception three days later to discuss the distribution of the loot together.

However, there were still some that did not appreciate it at all.

“Qin Feng, you are still young and do not have much experience, I can help with the unorganized items, I do have quite some handy people that are specialized in armory, of course, I can also help with you with the valuation on the abilities and battle skills of yours!”

Qin Feng scoffed deep down but retained his calm expression, and even the caller from the other end of the communicator was unable to notice any difference in his emotions.

“Well, that is so kind of you Lord Chu, however, I have already decided to hold a conference three days later, so that it will be fair to everyone else!”

“Isn’t this a good solution for your problem? Why not take it? Perhaps, in another half an hour…”

“Ah, sorry about this, Lord Chu, I have another communication coming in, please wait for a while!”

Qin Feng interrupted the conversation and immediately switched the communication and ended the call with Lord Chu. Without any doubt, he had then blacklisted the caller in his communicator.

If the caller were to contact Qin Feng again, the call would constantly remain on hold.

“Do you really think I’m a fool?”

Qin Feng could not stop sneering at the lord of the second-tier family from the Dragon Capital, being an A5-tier himself, he was trying to achieve his wild schemes by scamming Qin Feng into it. Hence, it was reasonable for Qin Feng to react in such a rude way.

It was merely a glorified way of asking Qin Feng to first contribute the items for his own benefits, and the items could even be taken away and kept hidden from Qin Feng.

How could Qin Feng possibly allow such a scenario to happen?

However, Qin Feng was not in a hurry at all as most of the major clans were already in contact with him, and those who intended to play out their tricks would have to keep an eye on the other clans.

“Interesting, even if I were to collaborate with any of the clans, the focus of the outcome will still be on the profits, and isn’t that still a threat for me?”

“Even after the collaboration, the annual bonus, resource sharing and utilization of technological advancements will still put me under a dangerous spot!”

“However, a one-off trade will discontinue my profitable relations with the clans and those that did not manage to get anything would even suspect that I have retained some of the items for myself, and I might even be assassinated!”

“It will also be impossible for me to keep it all for myself.”

“Such a tricky situation!”

However, it was obvious that Qin Feng did not care much about such a problem, he knew that Shang Han was on her way and she would arrive in three days, it was still early and the best option would be to first get enough rest and strengthen his capabilities!
