Chapter 88: Price To Pay

As Xu Feng rejected the goodwill of Zhao Kai, the latter was somewhat displeased as he shoveled one of the staff into his hand.

"Listen, you might not be eligible to equip it yet, but what's the harm in having a backup for later?" Zhao Kai scolded.

And with a fierce glare, he continued, "Also, just like what Blacksmith Fiona said. You can lend the equipment to someone who might need it for a fee. The contract here is absolute, so you don't have to worry about the other party reneging their words."

BOOM!

As if an explosion had just occurred in Xu Feng's mind, he was astonished by Zhao Kai's words.

What he just said wasn't nonsense, but something that made complete sense.

"Right... who said we must sell weapons or armor to others? We can simply lend it out for a fee." He mumbled softly.

He turned to look at Zhao Kai in a new light. "How did you even think of that, you filthy genius!"

Zhao Kai shrugged his shoulders, "I've merely learned this from someone. Compared to her, I'm not that much of a genius since she's even more ruthless and devious than me when it comes to business strategy."

Nodding his head, Xu Feng didn't plan on prying further as he could sense it was not a topic that Zhao Kai wanted to discuss.

"Well, I guess it's not bad to collect them temporarily, but I'll only borrow two while you use my other quota to choose four." Xu Feng said, wanting Zhao Kai to have a bit more leverage in choosing the equipment.

After all, he was the only one among them eligible to actually equip them.

Additionally, Zhao Kai was going to be the main damage dealer for the mission requested by Fiona.

Zhao Kai didn't argue with Xu Feng and readily agreed to his suggestion, clearly understanding the latter's thought process. Not to mention, he had indeed spotted quite a few equipment to his liking but was worried about the quota in picking.

"Right, once you're done choosing, we're going to discuss your skills upgrade now that you're level 5." Xu Feng informed, grabbing another armor and placing it in his inventory.

'The equipment dropped from the Scorched Caverns is still attractive, so these players would definitely not watch and let Gentle Wind hoard them all for her guild.' He exclaimed inwardly, finding them quite laughable.

Gentle Wind might indeed find a way to fight the Inferno Tyrant thanks to the recording and his strategy, but the pretext was that she could reach the boss area.

Without his navigation guide, it would be a grueling task.

Sure enough, within a few minutes since the post made by the Herald Fist was spread like wildfire, Xu Feng received a message.

Opening it, he noticed it was Gentle Wind contacting him again.

Gentle Wind: Hello, sorry to bother you again, but can we borrow your subordinate, Lin Feng? We want to complete a few more Scorched Caverns.

"Look at her. She's only asking this now huh. How cute!' Xu Feng chuckled softly, having predicted that she must have attempted it again, only to end up in a complete failure.

Anonymous User: How's that possible? Did you not have enough Fire Resistance Potions to do a few more raids?

Xu Feng teased playfully. There was a reason why he didn't have any problem in giving her some more potions.

So what if you have potions?

Can you utilize it to the maximum benefit?

The situation was similar to giving someone a car, but they didn't know how to drive. In other words, it was only there to look fancy and nothing else.

Gentle Wind: What conditions do you want, Lin Feng's boss? Let's not beat around the bushes.

Anonymous User: There's no need to be impatient. I'll be publishing a guide soon on how to complete the Scorched Caverns, but since you're my first customer. I'll give you a privilege when the time is right.

With that sent, Xu Feng closed the message and laughed, "Took you long enough, Shadow Blade. I thought I'd have to wait a long time here."
