Chapter 365: Making the List

The conditions Shi Feng proposed were nothing short of outrageous.

After hearing them, Xiao Yan's brow furrowed deeply, his expression turning grave as he struggled to figure out what to say.

If Shi Feng had only asked for a small stake in Beidou, Xiao Yan could have made that call on his own — the chairman might even have been pleased. But becoming a member of the board of directors was an entirely different matter.

This was no longer something Xiao Yan had the authority to decide.

Beidou's management fell entirely under the board of directors, which could be described as the absolute center of power. How could they just let an outsider walk in?

On top of that, Shi Feng was demanding the creation of a dedicated training zone placed completely under his control — that was essentially carving out a piece of Beidou and handing it over. That was even harder to accept.

If Shi Feng had been a renowned martial arts master, such demands might actually have been considered. But Shi Feng was a complete unknown; agreeing to something like this was virtually impossible.

Standing nearby, Zhao Ruoxi was also stunned, her beautiful eyes scanning Shi Feng over and over.

"Is this really the same Shi Feng from our class?" The question echoed endlessly in her mind.

Shi Feng was asking for the moon — he was even greedier than she was.

The position of head coach was essentially a title; you didn't actually have to do much day to day, so it was quite a relaxed role, but the status was extremely high. Countless people scrambled and fought for it — even well-known athletes in Jinhai City wanted the position. Unfortunately, none of them were even within Beidou's consideration. And yet Shi Feng was making demands on top of that, which completely baffled Zhao Ruoxi.

In Zhao Ruoxi's view, Shi Feng was pushing it too far. But for some reason, she kept feeling that there was logic behind what he was doing — because Shi Feng was not someone who made unreasonable demands.

Just as Zhao Ruoxi suspected, Shi Feng was not being unreasonable. His words were entirely justified — or rather, the conditions he had set were already quite modest. If it weren't for Zhao Ruoxi's sake, he might have asked for far more. Instead, he was settling for just a seat on the board and a single training zone under his complete control.

Although the Zero Wing guild was currently only powerful in White River City, the guild had already become famous across the entire Star Moon Kingdom after the battle for White River City. Moreover, Zero Wing had long since laid a solid foundation and had obtained the entry ticket to contest control of the Star Moon Kingdom.

What did this mean? Perhaps only the upper echelons of first-rate guilds truly understood.

The Star Moon Kingdom had over a hundred million players, and that number was still growing. Jinhai City's population was only in the hundreds of thousands, and its scale was comparable to White River City at best. And when it came to the level of influence Zero Wing held in White River City versus what Beidou held in Jinhai City?

The difference between heaven and earth would not be an exaggeration.

Furthermore, as the Divine Realm's popularity soared and the Zero Wing guild grew stronger, the number of people they could influence would become staggering — they could easily bring unimaginable wealth to any training facility or fitness center.

And what were training facilities and fitness centers, in the end?

Put bluntly, they were just places to work out. Where was the influence in that?

A single word from a first-rate guild could make a fitness center skyrocket overnight. Why not just start your own? Why bother splitting the pie with someone else?

"I'd like to know what Manager Xiao thinks," Shi Feng said, turning to Xiao Yan.
