Chapter 1245: Supplies
Chapter 1245: Supplies
A few minutes had gone by since Carmen made her cunning move.
Both Zhao Xin and Feng Qing Rou were completely taken off guard.
They never anticipated an innocent-looking woman to actually be so cunning as Xu Feng.
While they were dumbfounded, Xu Feng was nearly on the verge of crying tears of joy.
’Carmen has really learned.’ He was so proud that she actually adapted to the situation and took advantage of the cards dealt in her hands.
Unlike the two ignorant women, Xu Feng himself knew there were never two different sets of scenes.
Although he did plan for the two scenes mentioned by Carmen, he ultimately scrapped the idea. Firstly, it was to avoid spending too much time and money, and secondly, he decided to give Zhao Xin some face and avoid putting her in a difficult spot.
After all, Zhao Xin and Feng Qing Rou were besties, so if he were to affect their relationship, then things would become messy.
Therefore, Carmen was bluffing two major businesswomen without batting an eyelid.
’Damn it, why did I cover myself with the blanket? I want to see the scene!’ He truly regretted covering his vision entirely. Just when he thought he couldn’t see such a juicy scene, he became enlightened.
’When did I go stupid?’ He questioned himself silently. As an Energy Force fighter, plus the recent increase in power, he could totally use his newfound perception to spectate the scene.
This was the power of Energy Force and the benefit of playing the Divine World at such a high level.
With that in mind, he quickly activated his perception and watched the scene in excitement.
...
"So which scenes do you think I should broadcast to bring in the most reception and revenue?" Carmen leaned her chin on her palm and asked curiously. Her tone and speech made it seem like she was really seeking advice.
However, that could only be far from the truth.
Rather than advice, it was more like blackmail or extortion—the exact, no, an even worse action than what they had done earlier when they arrived at the hotel room.
What Carmen did was repay the favor in twofold.
"I believe the betrayal scene can be omitted." Zhao Xin took a deep breath and said. She couldn’t possibly agree to let her air that kind of betrayal scene.
After all, she was also present at that time and chose to leave.
’To think an incident that old would still come back to bite us.’ She realized the Vanguard Guild was really one petty guild that remembered grudges.
Even if the grudges were extremely small, they would keep them in their heart and minds.
It was as if the issue was engraved deeply on them. That way, as long as an opportunity arises, they would use that emotion to retaliate.
"So the betrayal scene isn’t good?" Carmen rubbed her chin.
She held a difficult expression and muttered, "But then the filming cost and the actor’s hard work would go to waste."
Zhao Xin nearly choked on her own saliva. What a roundabout way to extort them.
"Qing Rou, don’t you have a lot of excess funds as of late?" Zhao Xin turned to Feng Qing Rou and said.
"Eh?" Feng Qing Rou twitched her mouth in disbelief.
’Sister Xin is throwing me under the bus already?’ She would be a fool to not understand what Zhao Xin meant by having excess funds. Without a doubt, Zhao Xin wanted her to cough up the money.
Now, if it were usual time, then she wouldn’t mind spending a few, even if the opposite party was Xu Feng.
However, this Carmen was clearly more cunning and mischievous than Xu Feng.
From the start to finish, she had been setting trap after trap. Her words were laced with poison, especially her protective nature of Xu Feng. Even a fool could tell she had been completely bewitched by the cunning four eyes.
"Will 100 thousand dollars work?" Feng Qing Rou asked. Although she had been earning a lot from the Divine World, the expenses required to sustain the guild weren’t cheap either.
And now that Tier 2 was fast approaching the players in the Divine World, the resources required also increased exponentially.
She really didn’t have that much excess money to waste.
"100 thousand dollars?" Carmen rolled her eyes.
"Do you treat our Vanguard Guild as some beggar?" She scoffed coldly.
With her arms crossed, Carmen refused to let these two fat sheep get away easily. Since they decided to bring themselves to their doorsteps, she would be a disgrace to Xu Feng’s teaching to let them off scot-free.
Moreover, Carmen knew that with the emergence of Tier 2 looming over the Divine World, she had to do something to benefit the guild.
’Xu Feng was always the one working hard to provide for the guild, so it’s time for me to step it up. We’ll need many supplies and funding to support loyal guild members to rapidly level up and reach Tier 2.’ Carmen was determined to become the vanguard this time.
She knew that whoever produced the most Tier 2 in this critical time would be the key to rising to an unimaginable height.
The Vanguard Guild had already torn off any facades with the Miracle Pavilion, and given her understanding of their despicable behavior. Carmen was certain that they were already planning to sabotage their short drama to ruin their wealth.
Not to mention, they would also secretly hinder their movement in the Divine World.
After all, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce was still a force to be reckoned with. Even though they had met with some setbacks, their foundation remained strong and sturdy.
’Xu Feng wanted to produce a short drama to create another channel of connection, wealth, and foundation.’ This was the main reason why she had gone out of her way to come to Avalon City.
She didn’t want Xu Feng to bear all the burden and pressure alone. She wanted him to know that she would always be by his side in times of crisis.
