Bing Shan Han Yue naturally knew there wasn't, but she asked out of politeness.
"The drop rate is really too low. How about we make a deal?"
Dou Youyou said, "What kind of deal? Are you trying to buy guild tokens? That won't work, we don't even have any ourselves!"
Bing Shan Han Yue smiled and said, "Miss Youyou, please don't be in a hurry. This deal is indeed about guild tokens, but we don't intend to take the first guild token. Instead, we are willing to buy them at a price of ten million each. What do you think? Can you talk to your master about this? If he thinks the price is too low, we can discuss it further!"
Ten million per guild token was already an astonishing sum, and judging by the other party's tone, it could potentially be increased.
Given her master's affinity for money, this deal would likely be successful.
"You wait a moment. It would be best if you talk to my master yourself, but if the price is a bit higher, it might actually succeed!"
Bing Shan Han Yue hadn't even expected it to go so smoothly.
"As long as Miss Youyou is willing to relay our message, the price definitely won't be an issue!"
"Mmm, my master loves money. He's a complete money-grubber. I'll go ask him!"
"Mmm, mmm, then I thank you, Miss Youyou!"
"You're welcome!"
Dou Youyou returned to Pingfan Town and, without delay, went to Zhang Pingfan's small courtyard.
"Master, I have some good news for you!"
Seeing Dou Youyou running towards him with a beaming smile, Zhang Pingfan knew it couldn't be anything bad.
"What good news is making you so happy? Is it good news for you or for me?"
"Oh, I'm happy for you, Master! The会长 of Moon Palace, one of the three major guilds, Bing Shan Han Yue, is willing to spend ten million, which is 1,000 gold coins, to buy a guild token from you. Isn't that good news?"
Zhang Pingfan's eyes lit up. Such a good thing? This was practically a delivery service, no, this was a messenger of fortune.
"1,000 gold coins, are you sure?"
"Yes, and you can even ask for a higher price. They seem willing to accept an increase!"
Zhang Pingfan stroked his head in thought.
It was good news, good news indeed, but the problem was that guild tokens couldn't be produced right now. Even if they offered him a hundred million, he couldn't produce a guild token at the moment.
"The key is, we don't have any guild tokens. How can we give them?"
"She said she doesn't need the first guild token, but only wants us to sell her guild tokens the moment we obtain them later!"
"I see."
Recently, he had been spending money lavishly. He had spent two million on the orphanage director and fifteen million on the villa, leaving only a few million in his possession.
"No problem, as long as the money is right, everything else is negotiable, but they are not allowed to touch the Boss anymore!"
"Mmm, mmm, so Master, what price should we quote?"
Zhang Pingfan pondered. Since they were willing to accept a higher price, there must be other reasons behind it.
Zhang Pingfan wasn't foolish. The current situation for the three major guilds was difficult. After the influential families in the capital entered the game, the prestige of the three major guilds was gradually becoming nominal. Compared to those powerful families, the three major guilds were merely small factions, especially since those families had money.
However, there were many issues here. The reason the three major guilds were in their current predicament was their refusal to be acquired.
The reason they were so discreetly seeking to buy guild tokens from him was to develop their own guilds in advance, making them stronger and better able to deal with the encirclement and suppression from those powerful families.
And on his side, he also had his own hidden agenda.
Since the three major guilds were being suppressed, he might as well take the opportunity to bring them under his command. Of course, it would be best if they became his subordinates, but given their current attitude, an alliance seemed to be the most optimal choice!
"Youyou, ask them if it's all three major guilds that want guild tokens!"
Dou Youyou quickly contacted Bing Shan Han Yue.
"Yes, all three major guilds need them!"
"Excellent. Then tell them that I can sell them guild tokens at the price of 1,000 gold coins, but there's one condition: they must pledge allegiance to me!"
Dou Youyou was somewhat dumbfounded. Had her master developed a fever? How could he say such a thing? Those were the three major guilds.
"Master, do you have a fever?"
As she said this, she reached out to touch Zhang Pingfan's forehead.
"Go, go, go. Master is talking serious business with you. Aren't you planning to establish a guild? Our guild is weak and alone, which is definitely not enough. If the three major guilds become our subordinate guilds, it would be entirely different!"
"Master, they are the three major guilds, the top guilds in the online gaming world!"
"Think bigger. Otherwise, why would people say women are only suited for giving birth and raising children?"
Dou Youyou's face immediately flushed red.
"I don't even have a boyfriend, so how can I give birth and raise children!"
"Alas, with your attitude, you probably won't get married either!"
"Master~"
"Stop, stop, stop. If you don't get married, Master will support you for a lifetime, alright?"
"Hehe, Master, you said it. Don't go back on your word!"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head helplessly. This girl was so easily coaxed.
"Go ahead and reply to them exactly as I said and see how they respond!"
"Mmm!"
Dou Youyou stood beside Zhang Pingfan and began voice chatting with Bing Shan Han Yue.
"My master said that he can sell you guild tokens at the price of ten million, but there is one condition..."
When Dou Youyou finished speaking, Bing Shan Han Yue fell silent.
"Miss Youyou, I'm afraid I'll have to discuss this matter with the other two guild leaders before making a decision!"
"Okay, then I'll await your good news!"
"Alright!"
Zhang Pingfan, listening clearly from the side, knew that if they agreed so easily, they wouldn't be the three major guilds, unless they were truly facing insurmountable difficulties.
"Master, look, Ri Tian has been in the small courtyard for so many days and doesn't have a place to stay. Why don't we build a doghouse for it!"
Seeing Ri Tian fawning over Dou Youyou, Zhang Pingfan suspected whether it was a dog or a person, how could it be so lecherous, only wanting to rub against his disciple's leg.
"No, I feel like hitting this lecherous dog the moment I look at it. And build a doghouse for it? Go to hell!"
"Come on, come on, building a doghouse together is such a romantic thing. I've wanted to build a doghouse for a long time but never had the time!"
"Alright, seeing as you're begging me so earnestly, I'll agree, but how do we build the doghouse?"
"Like this, like this, then like this, and also like this, and it's done!"
Dou Youyou made a series of gestures in the air. Ri Tian had a premonition of something ominous.
