Uncut jade!

Chen Ming suddenly bared his Fangs without reservation, causing the expressions of everyone from the Dragon Soul Guild present to turn extremely ugly.

However, that embarrassment quickly turned into fear.

A dense Zerg Army, like a rising tide, enveloped the few of them from all sides.

Little Gray, Xiao Jin, the Ice Abyss Dragon, and the Abyssal Undead Giant closed in, forming a tight encirclement around them.

The invisible pressure caused everyone from Dragon Soul to break out in a cold sweat.

Especially after they saw the attribute information of Little Gray, Xiao Jin, and the other summons, they lost even the slightest thought of resisting.

Good heavens, let alone joining forces—taking any single one of these out would be enough to crush everyone present.

“Lord Dragon Lord, have you considered it?”

Chen Ming spoke indifferently, his calm gaze locked onto [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord].

His voice wasn't loud, yet his words carried an inherent majesty, like a monarch looking down upon the Starry Universe.

However, [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] lived up to his reputation as the former top leader of Huaxia, possessing extraordinary courage.

Even in this situation, he remained incredibly composed, without a trace of panic.

“No wonder he was able to lead Dragon Soul from a small guild to a top-tier guild with three gods by his own strength in his past life.”

Chen Ming nodded inwardly.

As the guild leader of the Dragon Soul Guild, [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord]'s strength might not be great—it could even be considered trash.

He had only awakened the lowest E-rank talent, and his combat power was even worse, failing to even reach the baseline for players of the same level.

But his leadership abilities and strategic vision were terrifyingly profound.

“As expected, a strong person is a strong person no matter where they are.”

Chen Ming murmured to himself, then quietly waited for [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord]'s answer.

“Brother Calamity, the fact that you can openly display an item of the [Eternal Forge] level before us shows that you trust Dragon Soul enough.”

“Cooperation is naturally not a problem, but what benefits can Dragon Soul gain from cooperating with you?”

[Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] said thoughtfully.

His meaning was very clear.

Dragon Soul could cooperate, but there must be sufficient benefits.

Chen Ming waved his hand, signaling the Zerg Army to retreat.

“Cooperating with me will be the most correct decision Dragon Soul ever makes.”

“As for the benefits.”

“I can make a promise: after the main city is built, the Dragon Soul Guild can enjoy certain privileges.”

“All due rights and interests will also be granted.”

Chen Ming spoke his promise.

[Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] took a contract from his breast pocket and handed it to Chen Ming.

The contract was filled with the rights and interests Dragon Soul wanted to occupy in the future main city after their cooperation.

“These terms are reasonable, but there is only one point I disagree with.”

“Dragon Soul Guild members can enjoy preferential privileges in the future main city, but it is absolutely impossible for them to participate in the city's management.”

“That is the bottom line!”

“Secondly, in the coming hundred years, the Dragon Soul Guild must invest 50 billion gold coins monthly into the main city as construction funds.”

After carefully reading the terms, Chen Ming spoke decisively.

Chen Ming would only ever hold the management authority of the main city in his own hands; he would never delegate it to others.

The high-level members of the Dragon Soul Guild frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“Calamity, if there's no management authority, then what is the point of our cooperation?”

“So your so-called cooperation is just us investing money in you without getting any real benefits in return?”

“Tens of billions of gold coins every month—your appetite is too large.”

Someone questioned him with dissatisfaction.

As the number one guild of the Blue Star Civilization, Dragon Soul had hundreds of millions of members.

But their fixed monthly income was only a few tens of billions.

Now, having to invest 50 billion into city construction every month was equivalent to directly throttling the Dragon Soul Guild's economic lifeline.

Chen Ming didn't even spare them a glance, turning his gaze toward [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord].

“Lord Dragon Lord, what do you think?”

Facing Chen Ming's inquiry, [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] took a deep breath and said slowly, “We accept your conditions.”

“50 billion gold coins every month as construction funds for the main city, and no participation in city management.”

“However, I have one additional request.”

“Speak, I will consider it!” Chen Ming nodded.

“If Dragon Soul wants to build a main city in the future, you must provide unconditional assistance and lend us the [Eternal Forge] for use,” [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] said slowly.

“No problem.” A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ming's mouth.

The [Eternal Forge] had infinite durability and could be used indefinitely; lending it to the Dragon Soul Guild was no big deal.

“Pleasure doing business.” [Dragon Soul - Dragon Lord] also smiled.

“Pleasure doing business.”

Over the following time, Chen Ming discussed specific details of the cooperation with the Dragon Soul Guild.

Afterward, the Dragon Soul Guild left behind 200 billion gold coins before departing.

Regarding these 200 billion gold coins, Chen Ming didn't hesitate at all and converted them all into [Eternal Stone]s through the [Eternal Forge], totaling twenty thousand pieces.

“Next, I just have to wait for the city building token to fall into my hands.”

While murmuring softly, a smile couldn't help but curl on Chen Ming's lips.

“Calculating the time, that beast tide affecting Myriad Beast City should be starting soon.”

...

Myriad Beast City.

In a low-key yet luxurious manor villa.

Daenerys lay lazily on the sofa. Today, she wore a light purple gown that accentuated her enchanting figure to the fullest, making anyone who caught a glimpse unable to help their blood racing.

“Madam, the information you wanted has been found.”

Just then, Aixia walked in holding a file.

“Give it to me.”

Daenerys rose from the sofa, took the file, and began to look through it slowly.

This information was nothing else but all the data concerning Chen Ming.

“Blue Star Civilization...”

“Entered Eternal less than three months ago...”

“Killed the final boss of the world event by himself during the Plague of the Undead!”

After finishing Chen Ming's detailed profile, even Daenerys couldn't help but part her red lips in shock.

Good heavens!

This really is a monster!

He had been in Eternal for less than three months, yet his strength was already startlingly high.

Moreover, the potential he displayed was incredibly terrifying.

Not only that, but the rarest thing was that his background was very clean.

Chen Ming's handsome and clean face flashed in Daenerys's mind. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately instructed Aixia, “Have someone find out where that Calamity is right now, and then bring him to see me.”

“Yes!”

Aixia respectfully withdrew.

Daenerys returned to her lazy posture.

“Little fellow, you're quite interesting!”

“Powerful strength, amazing talent, a clean background, and he looks quite good too...”

“Heaven really is favoring me, sending me such an uncut gem.”
