Chapter 218: That Costs Extra
Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, Reception Room.
After hesitating for a moment, Igor chose to enter with Donna to see what kind of person the master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was.
As the two entered the room, they saw a young man about 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a black casual martial robe, quietly sitting on the main seat sofa. He gave off an indescribably ordinary feel.
This made both Igor and Donna breathe a sigh of relief.
Originally, they thought that the master who could develop the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to such a degree would be some monster, but now it seemed they were overthinking it.
However, as the two of them approached less than five meters from Lin Qi, they both simultaneously stopped and looked at Lin Qi in disbelief.
Although Lin Qi did not emit any terrifying aura of qi and blood, their sixth sense strongly warned them of danger, as if the person in front of them was not a human but a lord-level monster.
This feeling was definitely the first time Igor and Donna had ever encountered in their lives.
In the past, when they faced strong individuals, especially those top-level Bone Forging Realm masters far stronger than them, at most they felt the oppression of qi and blood, but they had never felt like this, facing a person as if facing a powerful lord-level monster.
"Please have a seat, you two." Lin Qi looked at the two who had suddenly stopped, gestured to the sofas beside them, and said with a smile, "What can I do for you both?"
Both Igor and Donna were Bone Forging Realm experts, especially Igor, who was clearly already at the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm. The strength of a casual strike exceeded nine thousand kilograms, and his basic physical qualities were much stronger than those who had not practiced the second layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique.
"Hall Master Lin, my sister and I are here on behalf of Ten Thousand Stars City." Igor did not sit down, always maintaining a five-meter distance from Lin Qi. He introduced himself with a smile, "Hall Master Lin can call me Igor."
"Representing Ten Thousand Stars City? What does Ten Thousand Stars City want?" Lin Qi said unhurriedly, "If it's to ask me to give up establishing Red Moon Town, then you may leave."
The city could absorb too few Martial Arts Academy Disciples, and excavating the energy ore vein required a large workforce. It was impossible to give up establishing Red Moon Town, a good opportunity to quickly absorb vagabonds.
Moreover, someone like him establishing a town at the Bone Forging Realm wouldn't realistically cause a city to directly deploy an army to clean up, after all, each major city established towns like this before. Furthermore, he was affiliated with Chasing Light City, and it was impossible for a city to go to war with a town directly over this.
It was just that his establishment of Red Moon Town had touched the interests of some forces in Ten Thousand Stars City. All they could do was send some experts to interfere in secret, but he really wasn't afraid.
If Ten Thousand Stars City went too far, he could disclose the existence of the Secret Silver Ore Vein, and by then, Chasing Light City would certainly not let it rest.
"Hall Master Lin misunderstood." Igor explained, seeing Lin Qi trying to send them away, "My sister and I are not here to persuade Hall Master Lin to give up establishing Red Moon Town. Besides, with the strength of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it is only right to have its own town."
Donna, standing beside, nodded as well.
As Igor said, the establishment of a town depended on strength. If a newly promoted Bone Forging Realm dared to establish a town so close to Ten Thousand Stars City, they would definitely clean it up, as it would infringe on the interests of many forces in Ten Thousand Stars City.
But if it's someone like Lin Qi, a Bone Forging Realm expert clearly stronger than her brother Igor, it would be a different matter.
"In that case, what are you here to discuss?" Hearing this, Lin Qi looked at the two with interest.
Igor and Donna seemed young, yet both were Bone Forging Realm experts and probably held considerable status among the Half-Beast Race.
If the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could do business with the Half-Beast Race in Ten Thousand Stars City, it would undoubtedly rapidly enrich Red Moon Town.
Due to his insufficient status in Chasing Light City, many good things from Chasing Light City wouldn't be sold to him, such as flying transport vehicles and B Level battle armor, and even life detectors—all essential items for establishing Red Moon Town.
Although he could apply to the Human Race, their status in Chasing Light City was awkward and could never compare to the strong Half-Beastman Race in Ten Thousand Stars City.
"I suppose Hall Master Lin knows about the Secret Silver Ore Vein in Death Valley." Igor proactively said, seeing that Lin Qi was interested in the discussion, "My sister and I are here this time to make a deal with Hall Master Lin."
"The Secret Silver Ore Vein in Death Valley is just sitting there, and instead of letting Chasing Light City benefit, it's better to sell the Secret Silver Ore to us at Ten Thousand Stars City. We can provide the supplies needed for Red Moon Town."
"What are the prices for flying transport vehicles and B4-level battle armor, as well as life detectors capable of scanning ten kilometers around?" Lin Qi looked at Igor and asked.
He's always coveted flying transport vehicles, as they are excellent for quickly and safely transporting various resources. If he had a large number of flying transport vehicles, with some caution regarding those flying monsters, he could venture farther to mine various minerals on the broken map.
As for B4-level battle armor, it is the basic equipment for arming the Defense Corps in the future. The B4-level battle armor repaired by Luo Qi alone is far from enough.
And life detectors need no further mention; they are veritable artifacts for defending against monsters in the wilderness.
