969 Cooperation Agreement
“Thump, thump, thump,” A Federation soldier knocked on the door and pushed it open, “Sir, Fang Heng is outside. He wants to see you.”
Qiu Hai sat up straight and rubbed his aching temples. He nodded and said, “Alright, let him in.”
“Officer Qiu, you seem to be very troubled?”
Upon leaving the game, Fang Heng came to see Qiu Hai.
He nodded to Qiu Hai after entering the room and sat opposite him.
Qiu Hai looked at Fang Heng and was speechless.
Wasn’t it all because of him?
Qiu Hai sat up straight and asked, “Since you’re in such a hurry to see me, is it about the blood crystals again?”
“Ah, yes, I ran into a little trouble,” Fang Heng nodded and said, “The aura of the death realm is spreading very quickly, so we had to get the blood crystals as soon as possible to slow down the spread. I didn’t expect to accidentally trigger a special mission. I feel that there might be some friction with the Federation in the follow-up of the mission, so I came to ask for the Federation’s opinion.”
Qiu Hai laughed bitterly in his heart.
He was really doing all this for the blood crystals.
Was it because there was someone behind him that his way of doing things had become unscrupulous?
“I’ve heard that you’ve triggered the mission to become the vampire Territory Lord. I want to know if the completion of the mission will have any impact on the worlds of the vampires that already have a World Lord?”
“I don’t think so.”
Fang Heng had checked the specific information of the mission upon receiving it.
After completing the mission, the world of the vampires without a World Lord would automatically be under his control, while those with a World Lord would not be affected at all.
As for whether he could control those worlds through the vampires later on, Fang Heng wasn’t sure either.
“I see,” Qiu Hai nodded, “Personally, I don’t want the world of the vampires to fall into the hands of someone outside the Federation, since that would increase the risk.”
“But…” Qiu Hai paused and changed his words, “The Eastern Federation doesn’t have much control over the Vampire Apocalypse. We only have some influence over District 4, but we’re far from being able to control it.”
Fang Heng’s thoughts moved.
He had thought that the Federation would stop him from controlling the world of the vampires at all costs. For this reason, he was even prepared to cooperate with the Eastern Federation and give up some benefits.
However, Qiu Hai’s words seemed to be saying something else.
There was room for discussion?
“The Western Federation is the one that controls the Vampire Apocalypse zone. You should know better than me that the vampire’s invasion this time is directly related to the Western Federation.”
“Yes,” Fang Heng nodded. Everyone knew that the Western Federation had already been infiltrated by the 12 corporations, “The 12 corporations, I’ve heard.”
“I don’t like to beat around the bush. Regarding the matters about the world of the vampires, I’ve just received the official authorization from the Eastern Federation to represent the Federation in the negotiation of cooperation.”
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
He could see the Federation’s attitude.
There was room for discussion!
Qiu Hai continued, “We want to know, how much are you willing to sacrifice for this mission? What can the Federation gain from this?”
Fang Heng spoke with fervor and assurance, “The mission is just one of the aspects. The other aspect is to obtain the blood crystals. With the blood crystals, I can use the magic array to dispel the aura of the death realm. This is also helping the Federation in a way, right?”
“That’s not enough. We need a more formal promise. The Eastern Federation can authorize the Elders Council of District 4 to give you the greatest help and encourage them to pledge their loyalty to you. In exchange, you need to ensure that the aura of the death realm in the area around the Necromancer Association is less than 900 points,” Qiu Hai laid out his conditions. He stared at Fang Heng and asked, “Can you do it?”
Fang Heng was shocked.
What a joke! Was he dreaming?
The Federation had voluntarily given up District 4?!
In fact, the Eastern Federation’s control over the vampires’ District 4 was not strong, to begin with, and it was even once excluded from the central power of the vampires’ Elders Council in District 4.
However, by taking advantage of the vampire’s invasion of the real world, the Eastern Federation had gained a lot of benefits. They had successfully eliminated their dissidents and found a way to cooperate with the Eastern Federation to kill a vampire Prince and a vampire Duke who had close relations with the 12 corporations.
According to the latest news, the world of the vampire’s District 4’s Elders Council was already discussing whether to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.
In just 10 hours, the elders of three major worlds of the vampire had chosen to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng, making the man’s influence in the worlds of the vampire increase greatly, causing the Elders Council of District 4 to hesitate.
They felt that Fang Heng must be somehow capable.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many vampires who would pledge their allegiance to him.
In addition, the strongest combat force in vampire District 4, the vampire Duke Sura, was inclined to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.
The only one who firmly opposed this was District 4’s World Lord, Johann.
It was a pity that when the 12 corporations first nurtured Johann, they only supported him as a puppet. As a result, Johann was not very powerful, and he did not have the ability to make the final decision in the Elders Council.
The Eastern Federation thus determined that it was highly likely that District 4 would pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.
The involvement of the Eastern Federation forces could speed up the process and help District 4 complete their allegiance as soon as possible.
In addition, Qiu Hai suspected that Fang Heng had someone from the Central Federation protecting him.
He didn’t mind doing a favor that didn’t cost him much, and he could also get some benefits from it.
Fang Heng didn’t know that there were so many twists and turns in this. When he heard about Qiu Hai’s condition, he was so ecstatic that he almost went crazy!
The Federation’s offer was too favorable!
Controlling the aura of the death realm was not a problem for Fang Heng at all.
Worse come to worst, he would direct the aura of the death realm into a game’s main region and that would be it!
Fang Heng put on an act and pretended to be in a difficult position. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Alright, deal.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s agreement, Qiu Hai heaved a sigh of relief.
After reaching an agreement, both parties felt that they had made a huge profit.
“What about the other worlds?” Fang Heng raised his head and asked.
Qiu Hai nodded, “As for the other game worlds of the vampires, the Eastern Federation can provide you with some information and help you negotiate with the Central Federation. Anything more than that is beyond our jurisdiction.”
Fang Heng pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, “What if I want to make a move on the other worlds?”
Qiu Hai stared at Fang Heng. He now had a clearer understanding of Fang Heng’s character.
Greed was the guy’s nature! He was indeed unwilling to give up!
“According to the Federation’s public policy, the main responsibility of the Federation’s participation in the game is to maintain the stability of the game world and will not participate in disputes between players. At the same time, all major game companies are welcome to participate in the competition and improve the overall levels of the games,” Qiu Hai first spoke officially, then continued, “If you make a move, the Western Federation will definitely fight back. The only thing we, the Eastern Federation, can do for you is to protest and appeal to the Central Federation so that the matter will only be limited to the areas where the player and the Federation compete for territory and that the matter will not continue to expand. It’s up to you whether you can get rid of the Western Federation. We can’t interfere.”
After getting Qiu Hai’s promise, Fang Heng reevaluated the difficulty in his heart.
Was the Federation scary?
It was extremely terrifying!
Fang Heng was most afraid of a head-on war with the Federation, where the other party would play all kinds of dirty tricks.
For example, they could label him as an anti-Federation evil force and use the entire Federation’s power to launch an all-out attack on him.
This kind of blow was not only on the game level but also on the real-world level.
It was extremely difficult to win!
Now that he had the Eastern Federation’s promised protection, he could totally fight with the Western Federation’s people.
Besides, there’s still…
In just a few seconds, countless thoughts raced through Fang Heng’s mind.
