Chapter 2896: Meeting (6)

Yao Feng's technique stunned everyone present.

Even the nobility had never seen this level of technique.

The legion commanders of other small and medium legions had certainly never seen it either.

So everyone was eager to know exactly how to obtain these techniques.

What would it cost?

Red Headscarf Zhang Qiming exclaimed, "Commander Yao, you, you really are... we have many female lords and female warriors in our Taiping Army, and quite a few female soldiers too. I want this technique... what are your conditions?"

Jiang Yang laughed, "Sister Yao Feng, just like you. Did you synthesize it with the Qiankun Cauldron?"

Yao Feng did not answer.

Silver Armor Gongsun Po asked, "Commander Yao... for us... you'll make it public too, right?"

Zhao Quan said, "Commander Yao, stop keeping us in suspense, hurry up and tell us. What are your conditions?"

Yao Feng smiled, "The conditions are very simple. I won't make the technique public—after all, even if I did, you couldn't make it. The difficulty of this fashion lies in the technique."

When these words came out, the whole room fell silent, and a few faces turned cold.

Wang Xiao asked in confusion, "What, Commander Yao, are you just showing off?"

Yao Feng smiled, "How could that be? What I mean is, this batch of fashion is too difficult, and we have limited time. Making the technique public is useless. I'll just provide the finished products."

"Provide finished products?" Zhao Quan glanced at Zhao Chi, then asked Yao Feng, "Commander Yao, do you have a large stockpile?"

Yao Feng shook her head, "A little, but you can't call it a large stockpile. We only just discovered this technique ourselves, and we've only just started. So I need everyone's help."

Jin Xin said irritably, "Commander Yao, can you just say everything at once?"

Yao Feng smiled:

"I've been saying it all along.

"I just said one sentence, and you immediately responded. I didn't have any time to finish.

"Now don't interrupt me, okay?"

The room indeed fell silent.

Yao Feng continued:

"Here's what I'm thinking.

"As everyone knows, whether it's fashion or equipment, the more it's improved and the better the materials, the harder it gets.

"You should have seen the technique of these fashions—they're already top-tier. I don't need to tell you how difficult they are, right?

"Even if I made the technique public for you, you couldn't make them in the two weeks before the werewolves arrive.

"So...

"These fashions will be made by us. What you need to do... is provide the craftsmen."

At this point, Gongsun Po couldn't help but interject, "Craftsmen? Didn't you just say craftsmen couldn't make them in two weeks? Are you going to send people to train our craftsmen?"

Yao Feng nodded:

"That's right, you got it.

"You can't make them, but I have craftsmen who can.

"Our craftsmen will teach yours, but the production site needs to be within my territory.

"I'll manage everything uniformly, teach uniformly, produce uniformly, and distribute uniformly!"

Wang Xiao questioned, "For this level of fashion, shouldn't expert-level craftsmen not be enough? They have to be master-level craftsmen, right? If we give all our master-level craftsmen to you, how do we keep control? What do I have to trust you on?"

Yao Feng smiled, "I don't need you to trust me. If His Highness Wang Xiao doesn't trust me, he doesn't have to participate."

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth, "Yao Feng, we're all in the same boat now. If you're going to do this, be sincere. Don't play these games with me!"

Yao Feng snorted:

"Sincere?

"I've already made this technique public for all of you to see. Isn't that the greatest sincerity?

"At a time like this, you're still questioning us?

"This isn't ordinary technique—it requires unified command to achieve the highest output!

"What's needed now is maximum efficiency!

"How do we achieve maximum efficiency? Just as I said—I'll manage uniformly, teach uniformly, produce uniformly, and distribute uniformly!

"Otherwise, even if I make the technique public, can you do it?

"Use your brain and think—can you make it in these dozen or so days?

"Without my unified management, it'll be a scattered mess. How can the efficiency be high?"

Jin Xin laughed coarsely, "Commander Yao, don't bother arguing with Wang Xiao about this. Keep going, we're listening."

Yao Feng stared at Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao said nothing.

Yao Feng continued:

"If nothing unexpected happens, after your masters are trained on our side, they can successfully produce in about five days.

"But that's just successful production—the quality will only be standard or below. Most likely rough and inferior, with very few fine and good products.

"After ten days, they'll be able to stably produce standard products, and the chances of good and fine products will also increase significantly.

"Among them, all the fine and good products go to me, and standard quality and below are split evenly."

When these words came out, the whole room was shocked.

This condition...

Wang Xiao was the first to protest, "On what basis? All the fine and good products go to you? Standard and inferior are split half and half? You take all the benefits? These are made by so many of our master-level craftsmen, yet you take the most? On what basis!?"

Yao Feng sneered:

"On what basis?!"

"On the basis that this technique is mine!

"Of course I should take the largest share!

"If I don't take a lot, on what basis would I share it?

"And that's not all!

"The materials for training, and the materials for subsequent production, all need to come from you—we don't have much stock!"

Wang Xiao's face was icy cold. Just moments ago he had been chatting amiably with Yao Feng, but now he had completely switched to a different face.

He looked at Yao Feng as if staring at an enemy.

Yao Feng was equally unyielding, looking down on Wang Xiao with contempt.

Gongsun Po hurriedly advised, "Captain Yao, it's no problem that you take the largest share, and the materials are easy to discuss, but the issue is… we also want some premium-grade items. Although the standard-grade items already have very high attributes, if there are premium-grade ones… the boost to us would be greater, and our chances of victory later would also be greater, wouldn't they?"

Zhao Quan nodded, "Right, Yao Feng, we're not saying you can't take the lion's share, but you can't hold everything back, can you? We also need premium-grade and fine-grade items. And to be blunt, premium-grade items would be better used by us than by you—wearing such fine things on you… it really feels like a waste."

Yao Feng snorted:

"I've already said it—don't interrupt me when I'm speaking.

"I haven't even finished saying what I wanted to say before you all butted in. These are all things I was going to say.

"Can you let me finish speaking properly?"

Zhao Quan nodded, "Please, go ahead!"

Yao Feng said:

"Standard-grade and lower-grade items, we split them fifty-fifty. Whoever's craftsmen made them keeps them.

"So the more master craftsmen you send, the more you harvest.

"Premium-grade and fine-grade items… I want to trade things with you for them.

"World Stones, Divine Artifact Fragments, Attribute Jade, Bloodlines, high-grade props, Enchantment Scrolls—any useful props can be traded.

"Of course, you can also trade with your techniques. Different items have different values.

"What I need most right now are fragments of the Taiyi Wheel and fragments of the Xuanu Ruler.

"These two items we've already found very hard to come by, but they're crucial to us. You can surely find more—I hope we can trade for them as soon as possible.

"And don't think you're getting a bad deal. The craftsmen I train for you will all be at the level of seasoned masters!

"How many seasoned masters do you have?

"I haven't even asked you for tuition yet!"

"Seasoned master" isn't a system-defined rank, but a colloquial term.
