You Lan's affirmative answer caught Shixue Fengqing off guard.
Five items — aside from a damaged crystal ball of unknown origin, the remaining four were all top-tier. Even within their Dark Crow Guild, it would be difficult to find anything comparable.
A Mythril Rank mount, in particular — even Dark Crow didn't have one. Only super guilds or top-tier guilds could get their hands on one or two.
You Lan was far more generous than expected, actually letting Shi Feng choose three items first.
Although Shixue Fengqing understood You Lan's thinking — she clearly wanted to build a relationship with Shi Feng, given how powerful Zero Wing truly was — even he would have settled for letting Shi Feng pick three items from the lot rather than letting him make the choice entirely on his own.
Of the five items, the three most valuable were self-evident.
They had to be the two pieces of growth equipment plus the Mythril Rank mount. The damaged crystal ball displayed no information, and nobody even knew how to use it, so it was useless. As for the tier three summoning scroll, while precious, there was no guarantee it could be traded for a growth item or Epic-grade weapon during boss fights or outdoor adventures. It could only play a certain role in guild wars or siege battles for towns.
But You Lan's actions didn't surprise Canglang Zhantian, who had survived alongside her.
No one outside truly understood the internal situation within the Netherworld or You Lan's current standing. After witnessing how powerful Zero Wing was, they were even more certain they needed to deepen their relationship. Within the Netherworld, many high-ranking members had gone to great lengths to curry favor with super guilds in order to boost their own prestige and status — the Pantheon being a prime target. But while a whole crowd of executives wanted to cling to them, the Pantheon simply didn't care about the Netherworld.
After all, the Netherworld was merely an alliance organization with some influence and capital — a notch above ordinary first-tier guilds at best. But its authority was heavily dispersed, making it even harder to unite than those first-tier guilds. Each high-ranking member had their own agenda, looking to cultivate their own forces and guilds.
The Yixiao Qingcheng guild was the product of four such executives joining hands.
Zero Wing might not have the deep reserves of a guild like the Pantheon, but its main raid team could rival those of super guilds. With such a team, their ability to obtain the most top-tier weapons and equipment likely wasn't inferior to the super guilds — as was evident just from the gear of Zero Wing's team members.
Moreover, Zero Wing was based right in the Star Moon Kingdom. If they could build a close relationship with Zero Wing, they might even be able to request their help to tackle monsters they couldn't handle on their own, or obtain the latest strategy information. Wasn't that exactly what the Netherworld executives wanted — spending enormous resources to win over the Pantheon?
"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Shi Feng said. He understood You Lan's intentions and didn't refuse, directly selecting the Divine Crystal and the two pieces of growth equipment.
As for the incredibly precious Mythril Rank mount, for Zero Wing in its current state, it was far less important than those two pieces of growth equipment. Besides, he had the Beast King Compendium. As long as he could find a sufficiently skilled Alchemy Master, raising the guild's mount to Mythril Rank was simply a matter of time.
The tier three summoning scroll was even less important to him.
He held the Book of Darkness, and after advancing to a second-tier class, he could easily summon a third-tier demon. Even now, he could use the Emerald Song staff to conjure a third-tier demon. While this demon's combat power was quite weak, it could still serve as a meat shield.
After both sides had divided the equipment, Shi Feng handed the Necklace of Life directly to Ziyan Liuyun.
Ziyan Liuyun's healing ability was already exceptional, and equipping the Necklace of Life raised it to yet another level.
