All the guards fell silent, afraid to speak.
They had all experienced the Eagle Country's rogue nature firsthand.
For their own selfish gain, they wouldn't even spare their own lackeys.
But Qin Feng smiled.
The more infuriated this guy became, the happier he felt.
"He seems to have forgotten how he died at my hands last time."
When you're mortal enemies, isn't it standard procedure to just kill him outright?
**Dragon Kingdom - Qin Feng**: So what?
At the Eagle Country's border, George was wheezing with rage.
"That Qin Feng is absolutely detestable!"
David shook his head and sighed. "Looks like we'll have to go out and find resources ourselves to be safe."
Dr. Jenny suggested, "George, try private messaging him to see if we can cooperate. After all, it's a huge business deal."
She had her own ulterior motives. If George and David stayed behind, they could help her reinforce the walls.
George considered for a moment, then nodded. "I'll try."
Immediately, he sent a private message.
**George**: Qin Feng, let's put our grievances aside for now. How about we cooperate on the freshwater business? 50/50 profit split!
Qin Feng was slightly surprised to receive the message.
"This guy is actually willing to put aside our feud to make money. What a true capitalist!"
But Qin Feng was an emotional man from the Dragon Kingdom.
How could he possibly partner with his enemy?
Besides, he was already swimming in profits from selling Tang Daos.
His involvement in the freshwater business was solely to annoy the Eagle Country.
With that in mind, he smiled and replied:
**Qin Feng**: Cooperation sounds good. 90/10 split—I take 90, you take 10.
**George**: Impossible! 55/45—that's my absolute final offer!
George had calculated that nearly 200 countries were in desperate need of water.
Each country consumed 200 liters per day. In three days, that would mean 12,000 units of Mystic Iron!
Half of that would be 6,000 units—enough to build at least one intermediate wall.
Who knows, he might even be able to snag a couple of good weapons in the process!
**Qin Feng**: Fine, suit yourself. I gave you a chance, and you didn't take it.
Qin Feng smirked as he clicked send, then blocked George.
"Damn, this trolling feels so satisfying!"
**George**: We can negotiate again! 6:4—you take 6!
**Message failed: The recipient has blocked you.**
George: ...
Jenny looked speechless.
"F**k! If you want to play price war, I'll play along!"
George, determined, immediately lowered his price in the chat room.
**Eagle Country - George**: 10 liters of water for just 4 units of Mystic Iron!!
**?:?? What's going on? Eagle Country is lowering prices too?**
**?: Whoa, Eagle Country is panicking! Buy, buy, buy—stock up while you can!**
**?: This is great! Competition benefits us consumers.**
**...**
Someone immediately sent a trade request to Eagle Country.
George was ecstatic.
"Haha, can Dragon Kingdom really win a price war against us?!"
But just as he finished speaking, Qin Feng lowered his price again.
**Dragon Kingdom - Qin Feng**: 10 liters of water for just 3 units of Mystic Iron.
As soon as this news broke, Eagle Country's pending trade request was canceled before it could even be completed.
George: "What?! That bastard! He's deliberately trying to make trouble!"
Jenny shook her head repeatedly. Even the dim-witted David could see it.
This deal was dead.
Someone was deliberately trying to sabotage them.
**Eagle Country - George**: Two units! I only need two units!!
**Dragon Kingdom - Qin Feng**: One unit.
George was furious. Even if he lowered the price further, he wouldn't make much profit.
He might as well go search for water himself.
**Eagle Country - George**: One unit for 20 liters of water!!
But Qin Feng continued to subtly undermine him.
**Dragon Kingdom - Qin Feng**: To all water-deprived guardians, my price is always 50% of Eagle Country's. Feel free to purchase at any time.
As soon as this message appeared, the faces of all water-deprived guardians lit up with joy.
This meant one unit of Mystic Iron could now be exchanged for 40 liters of water.
Just ten minutes ago, it would have cost 40 units of Mystic Iron!
"The Dragon Kingdom is truly righteous!"
"Hahaha, so Qin Feng isn't trying to make money, he just wants to annoy Eagle Country."
"Go, big brother Dragon Kingdom! You're doing great!"
As the defenders trapped behind their respective nation's gates laughed on the battlefield, Qin Feng's mind raced, and he came up with another brilliant idea.
"Such valuable traffic can't be wasted," he thought.
He immediately sent out another message:
**Dragon Kingdom - Qin Feng**: Friends in need of water, hurry and buy! Searching for resources requires not only water but also weapons for self-defense. If you need weapons, you can also buy Tang Daos from me. Now, you only need 30 units of Mystic Iron for one.
The defenders, desperate for both water and knives, finally lost their composure.
*The Dragon Kingdom truly keeps its word!* they thought.
They immediately initiated trades with Qin Feng.
**Battlefield Notification**: Rotten Kingdom - Wilson has sent you a trade offer. 10 Mystic Iron = 400 Fresh Water.
**Note**: Thank you, Dragon Kingdom brothers, but we don't need Tang Daos for now. Your righteous act is appreciated. If we ever need help in the future, the Rotten Kingdom will do its best to assist.
**Battlefield Notification**: Italy - Alexander has sent you a trade offer. 10 Mystic Iron = 400 Fresh Water.
1 Tang Dao = 30 Mystic Iron.
**Note**: Thank you, my friend. You've been a great help.
**...**
In an instant, nearly two hundred national guardsmen sent trade offers to Qin Feng.
Of these, nearly a third wanted to purchase Tang Daos.
But Qin Feng only had Tang Daos; the water was still in the lake.
"What should I do?"
After much deliberation, he had an idea: Sister Bao'er, who was currently idle at home.
"Right! I'll have them wait and buy water from Sister Bao'er!"
The trades were quickly completed.
Some who lacked Mystic Iron exchanged steel instead.
A few guardsmen even had Titanium Alloy in their hands!
Naturally, these also ended up in Qin Feng's possession.
They still didn't know the uses of Titanium Alloy!
Just then, a system notification popped up:
**Ding! Marketing Genius! Host's Resourcefulness +1. Highly aligns with Iron Man's style. Iron Man Similarity +2. Reward: All physical attributes +10.
Mark 4 Armor automatic repair complete.
Mark 4 Armor ammunition and energy fully replenished.
Qin Feng: "Uh... this works too?"
He glanced at his attribute panel.
All his stats had reached around 185!
His Iron Man similarity had also climbed to 32%, bringing him one step closer to the coveted nanite armor.
*Clang! Clang!*
*Clang! Clang!*
Sister Bao'er was in her room, repairing the Prototype Machine.
"Sister Bao'er, I found fresh water!" Qin Feng's voice came through the Prototype Machine's headset.
Sister Bao'er's wrench continued its rhythmic *clang* as she hammered the dent in the Prototype Machine's knee.
"Oh, you found some? Bring some back and sprinkle it around. I haven't washed my face today."
Qin Feng: "..."
"Looks like water won't lure her!"
After a moment's thought, he tried a different approach.
"I'm still by the lake and found the corpse-raising site Ninth Uncle needs. You know how much you love burying people, right? Come help Ninth Uncle bury! There are a full eleven bodies!"
