Other than the 100 billion entrance fee, a B-tier aptitude user could bring along ten C-tiers to assist him or her. These helpers would not be charged. It made sense to Liu Hui now why Fengli charged 5 million first at the gate.
‘They are trying to pry money from us C-tiers!’ Liu Hui thought about it dejectedly. A B-tier could bring along ten C-tiers. If the C-tiers wanted to come in, then they would need to pay up at the front gate. Five million to exchange for a rare opportunity to fight alongside a B-tier.
Would the B-tier subsidize or even absorb the payment?
That was really hard to say!
For a C-tier, such an opportunity did not come by very often.
Lui Hui was depressed. He might be able to sneak in this time but not next time. After all, he was just a C4-tier.
Liu Hui decided to stay put inside the fortress. Even though the living fees might be high here, he could still afford it with his wealth as a C-tier.
He then wasted no time and sent out the information he had gathered.
Liu Hui was not the only one that had entered the fortress to do scouting. The news spread like wildfire and stirred an uproar among the aptitude users.
One hundred billion was not a lot when compared to the potential profit.
Still, it was not an amount a B-tier could spend without concern.
Besides, everyone knew who the biggest earner was in all this.
Whoever controlled this lucrative dimension would have extrapolating profit and resources in the years to come.
That, without a doubt, invited a lot of jealousy. A lot of B-tiers would love to have a piece of it.
“We can’t allow Qin Feng to monopolize this.”
“That’s right. A lot of people have joined the hunt of the Cinderclast Golems. How could he claim the place for himself?”
“I believe Governor Qin will welcome us to develop the dimension together. Such a good place would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention from treacherous parties. It would be better to have more forces protecting the place.”
They found themselves some brilliant excuses and departed to the city without any delay.
It was still Yuan Xiaoguang standing guard near the gate. He politely invited the B-tier into the fortress without charging them.
Qin Feng, who was meditating in a secret room inside the fortress, opened up his eyes.
“So, they have come?”
“Yes. Eight of them. Don’t seem particularly durable.” Bai Li curled her lips.
“We won’t need to fight them if they are willing to listen.”
Qin Feng stood up and walked out with Bai Li.
The visitors did not wait for long before Qin Feng showed up.
“Congrats, Governor!”
“Governor Qin, the North Sea has been developing steadily ever since you were appointed. With the new Cinderclast Dimension, the economy will take another huge step forward.”
“That’s right!”
Everyone flattered Qin Feng.
Qin Feng put up a gentle smile and said, “Opportunity often comes hand in hand with crisis. The appearance of Cinderclast Golems and the Cinder Pine did catch me off guard. Luckily, we were able to eliminate them and set up the Cinderclast Dimension passage. Through this, we could at least compensate for the loss during the battle.”
The few B-tiers looked at each other and replied, “What is Governor Qin talking about? You suffered a loss? To me, you should be the biggest winner out of this!”
“True. But the defense of the North Sea is the weakest among all the regions. If the passage ever becomes unstable and rips into a rift again, I reckon Cinderclast City would be hit the hardest.”
“People from the Dark Coalition would not rest in front of this tempting fortune, too.”
Qin Feng sneered but did not say another word. It was Bai Li who opened her mouth instead. She spoke out of curiosity, “Dark Coalition? Haha! They were the ones killed and fed to the tree, right? They are stupid if they think they could ever threaten us with that kind of capability. I am not worried about them at all.”
Bai Li’s words were rather arrogant.
Nonetheless, B-tiers who were on the scene right now were probably at a similar level with those Dark Coalition members. In fact, these fighters from the Human Alliance had not shown themselves when Qin Feng battled the Dark Coalition the other day. It was Qin Feng who had single-handedly defeated and killed the troublemakers.
That made Bai Li’s word irrefutable.
More so, Bai Li was indirectly looking down on the B-tiers in front of her when she said those words. The faces of these B-tiers blackened quickly.
“Haha.” One of the aptitude users laughed embarrassingly and changed the subject. “Even so, Governor Qin is still too young to stick around Cinderclast City all the time. You would eventually need a collaborator to help you look after this place. Besides, everyone here today was involved in the defense against the golems. As such, we are here to lighten your duty this time too. We are happy to help, Governor.”
Qin Feng had long known their intention. Hence, he was not very surprised when one of them spoke it out loud so shamelessly.
“It’s fine. Even if I am not around, the Floating City above would suffice. I think everyone here certainly knows who the Floating City has killed in the past. I don’t believe anyone will be bold enough to look for trouble here as long it is protected under Fengli.”
Qin Feng had indirectly rejected their demand by saying so.
All of a sudden, the situation became a little awkward.
The B-tiers were clearly displeased. They discharged their aura out of anger and created enormous pressure against Qin Feng.
They were trying to intimidate Qin Feng with their power. If Qin Feng was only a normal C-tier, he would probably already be on his knees.
“Qin Feng, a special dimension often has huge potential. It’s inappropriate to hog it.”
Qin Feng glanced back coldly. “I am not hogging it. Anyone can enter freely as long as they pay up. One hundred billion is not expensive considering the return. If you can’t afford it, then why bother visiting in the first place?”
“You are not the only one who discovered the rift!”
Qin Feng rebutted, “It’s found in the North Sea right beside my Cinderclast City. I can deal with it alone even if none of you came.”
“You can’t just think about your own development. The Human Alliance should work together to fend off dangerous beasts. You are being selfish!”
“Hahaha!” Qin Feng laughed out loud, “What’s the use of having so many wasters? I rather invest in myself and distribute my wealth later. You would probably thank my generosity later!”
Bam!
A B-tier slammed the table and stood up. The table shattered into pieces upon impact.
“Qin Feng, who are you referring to as waster?”
Qin Feng smirked and replied, “No one in particular.” He looked around, then spoke slowly, “I mean each and every one of you.”
“You!”
“You are too full of yourself!”
“Do you really think we won’t fight you?”
All eight B-tiers stood up and seemed determined to fight.
Qin Feng remained seated and glared at them coldly. “Are you sure? Think it through. Do you really want to fight me on my turf?”
He pointed outside the window. Through the French window, one could see the cannons beaming grimly on the city wall.
