Chapter 1221: With Players
Sam looked straight into Dayus’ eyes, he thought for a moment and stood up. He took out the Beast Whistle and held it on his extended hand as he looked at him.
“Take it.”
That is all he said. He didn’t speak anything and just looked at Dayus.
Dayus also looked him in the eyes and stood up. He is taller than Sam a bit and even his whole stature is a bit larger than him, he is currently looked down on at Sam, but he didn’t feel the least bit confident.
The beast whistle is right in front of him. There is not a single sign of energy rush in Sam, he is just standing there still. But he wasn’t able to bring himself to take it from his hand. He felt like his life is in danger. He knew exactly what Sam is capable of and he knew that if Sam really wanted to harm him, with their current cultivation level difference, he would be crushed.
Sam just smiled at his non-reaction and got closer to him as he whispered into his ear.
“There is a reason why you didn’t take it even when I offered it to you Dayus. And I know that you know the reason. You know that, if I want to, I can walk away with this and you and the rest of the players wouldn’t be able to stop me. I don’t even need to use extra tricks. I and my beasts would be able to tear through like a hot knife in butter.
You know that very well because you experienced it first-hand multiple times. So, don’t insult me with the words like trust and such.
The very reason you need to trust me is that I am playing this with all of you when I don’t need to. So, don’t insult me again, or I will cut your balls off. Do you understand?”
Dayus felt a small sense of terror raise up in his heart and he involuntarily nodded. Even he didn’t expect that he would nod just like that. His face became red with embarrassment.
Sam sat down once again, he just threw the whistle to the middle but no one came forward to take it.
“I don’t care what you guys pick. If you want to fight, we can fight.”
“We can divide the spoils equally. Seven parts, seven members. I don’t have any problem with that.” Noah proposed and Kumar also shrugged following her suggestion.
“Me neither. I also don’t have a problem with that proposal.”
“I agree. It is a waste of time for us to beat each other up.” Akhil said lazily. Arkiv just shrugged. He is also fine either way.
Finally, Donner also agreed. The only one who is not exactly happy with this is Dayus. For some reason in his twisted way, he thinks he is better than everybody and he wholeheartedly believes it. Either he brainwashed himself too much or he is just that delusional since birth. But he felt like he needed a bigger part for a reason he couldn’t even think of to justify his own thoughts to himself.
The rest of the players didn’t have any intention to convince or coddle him. Either he agrees or he might not even get that one share.
The players will easily gang upon him.
He could only grit his teeth and agree to it.
“Okay, Sam. If you want to, you can buy my share for a city blueprint. I want a perfectly designed city from the ground up with a perfect defense system.” Noah said as soon as the agreement was reached.
“I can do that,” Sam said without even thinking and continued. “But if you want a perfectly tailor-made one, I would have to come and survey the land before doing it and check the resources and such. It would take some time too.”
“I can wait. It will take some time anyway. But I want the design to be solely made by you. None of your organization’s designers and artisans can get involved in the designing process. Your construction team must be responsible for the building, I will provide you with all the materials.”
“Deal.”
They reached an agreement perfectly and Kumar spoke.
“My share for a special offensive weapons design.”
“What kind?”
“That can kill a person that has a few stages of higher cultivation than you.”
“I can understand that. What I don’t understand is what kind of mobility should that weapon have? Should it easily be carriable? Should it be stationary, like being a part of the city? Should it be like a mobile fortress? There are too many requirements buddy?”
“A mobile one. I will give you the specific requirements later. I have found some special materials suitable for the job. You can give me suggestions later after you check them.”
“You got a deal.”
“You guys gave up two shares for a city blueprint plan and a weapon?” Dayus asked with a genuinely surprised expression and every other player looked at him with a dumbfounded expression as if they are looking at an idiot.
After all, now it is not easy to get Sam working. Even when he was at a lower level, he created things that could take down people that are far more superior than him, and when he could do all that with the limitations on his power, they could only expect more now that a lot of his limitations are being widened.
He could do a lot and it would be hard to get such works of art even in these higher realms.
Every one of them thought it is a fair price, of course, Dayus had different ideas.
Sam ignored him completely and said to the rest.
“If you guys want something just like this, I wouldn’t mind.”
“I want a special staff, with these requirements,” Akhil said as he gave out a scroll. Sam opened it and was surprised to see the unique design requirements.
“That is a great design for a staff. I didn’t know your brain works.”
“Fuck off.” Akhil just cursed and went back to his drinking.
“Anybody else? This is a limited offer.” Sam asked once again and after some hesitation, Donner also came forward. Arkiv and Dayus didn’t and Sam knew that Arkiv wouldn’t want anything, for now, so he could only exchange the resources and give them to them which he did.
After the distribution was done, the players didn’t know what to do. Their plans were only made until this moment. They didn’t plan what to do in the future.
“Are you guys going to continue with this teamwork thing?” Sam asked curiously.
But all of them shook their heads.
“This is just a temporary truce. Since two forces are in the same area and they are also made at each other, we just wanted to take advantage of that and it was easier with all the players.
We are going our separate ways from now on.” Noah replied immediately.
“That is great. Even though this works, it is not advisable in long term. Those gods wouldn’t be happy with this kind of thing, this will completely spoil their entertainment after all.” Sam said after some thought.
“Where are you going?” Noah asked Sam.
“Why?”
“I will stay out of your way for that and in exchange, you stay out of my way.”
“I am going after Black Ghosts and I have a conflict with the Five Great sects.”
“Two of the next three?” Noah asked in surprise.
“Well, they made it personal and I have a person from the Black Ghosts working for me.”
“Who is working for you?”
“The successor.”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Why would a successor work for you? You are shitting us aren’t you?”
“No. The original successor was betrayed because of family politics. His cultivation growth was sealed and even his elemental energies were stopped with some peculiar parasite.
His face was changed and he was a completely new person with a new identity. It is a cold-blooded revenge ploy if you ask me.
I accidentally rescued him from the puppet organization and I kind of promised to help him get back to his original position in exchange for the heirloom.”
“Damn it. Even your luck is good.”
“Maybe it is.”
“But what about the Five Great sects?”
“Remember the Night Demon tribe? One of the outerdeacons happened to be a member of the tribe and now he might be the last main branch member left alive. He tried to kill me with a borrowed knife when I was dealing with the puppet organization.”
“What happened exactly?” Akhil asked with interest.
Sam smiled and looked at Dayus.
“You want to tell them?”
Dayus’ face stiffened and he gritted his teeth.
Everyone looked confused and at this moment Arkiv opened his mouth.
“Our friend Dayus here made a deal with that outer deacon who was in turn contacted by the Golem Sect members. They all got involved with the Puppet organization to deal with Sam and me.”
