Chapter 1288: Sea Valley Tea
Ever since the City Lord of Raging Waves City handed Wang Ce the job of establishing the Raging Waves Guard three years ago, he had been bothered by the issue of Creation Master resources.
Wang Ce went to the Creation Master Association often to assign jobs and had also recruited some Class 2 and 3 Creation Masters.
However, tens of Class 2 Creation Masters and two Class 3 Creation Masters were not enough.
He occasionally recruited a Class 4 Creation Master, but they demanded such high prices that Wang Ce could not accept it. The Raging Waves Guard needed to be fair when dispensing resources.
During the active period of the dimensional rift, every Raging Waves Guard laid their lives on the line to protect Raging Waves City. Every one of them was a hero who deserved equal credit.
If the Class 4 Creation Masters demanded too high of a price, Wang Ce would be unable to give every Raging Waves Guard a Bronze/Epic fey. This would cause the Bronze/Epic feys to become meaningless.
Biased dispensing of resources would mess up the team. This was a major taboo when leading a team.
Wang Ce also tried seeking out top and veteran factions like Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Connected Beast Park, who had Creation Master roles.
However, he once again hit a wall due to the cost.
Not long ago, the Indigo Azure Guard Captain Feng Dong had called and let it slip how the Indigo Azure Guards had been able to produce hundreds of Bronze/Epic Hot Spring Snails during the active period of the dimensional rift.
…
When Wang Ce threatened to expose Feng Dong’s dirty laundry on Star Web, he finally learned about the deal between the Indigo Azure Guard and Sky City.
He also learned that Sky City only needed Law Source Crystals but not Radiance dollars or any other precious resources. This was unsurprising as Indigo Azure City was a large level below Raging Waves City and would not be able to afford resources that Raging Waves City could not afford.
Hence, Wang Ce immediately took the initiative to make Lin Yuan’s acquaintance.
Lin Yuan guessed what Wang Ce was thinking. This was why he mentioned Sky City working with Indigo Azure City and Ascending Dragon City. He wanted Wang Ce to know that if Raging Waves City was willing, they could also work with Sky City.
Naturally, Wang Ce understood what Lin Yuan meant.
He waved and said, “Valued guests, why don’t we head inside to have a taste of Raging Waves City’s specialty, Sea Valley Tea?”
Lin Yuan smiled and replied, “I’ve long heard about the Sea Valley Tea Tree in Furious Raging Sea Gorge. I heard that its taste is marvelous. I must fill my stomach with this new taste!”
The Mother of Bloodbath suddenly appeared next to Lin Yuan. It went wherever Lin Yuan went.
It did not like socializing and had not said a word during the journey.
However, it was a glutton and greatly looked forward to tasting the Sea Valley Tea.
Qi Heng had almost gone pale. He was supposed to be the middleman and had arranged this meeting. Yet, he seemed like an outsider now. He had not said anything after his first statement.
Ever since Wang Ce figured out who Lin Yuan was, he understood why Qi Heng had called to meet.
Although he was the Captain of Raging Waves City’s Guards, Qi Heng was a main veteran member of one of Raging Waves City’s native factions.
The two of them often met at big events. It was considered gentlemanly for them to help each other out with small favors.
However, they were not close enough for Qi Heng to look for him immediately after the Sea Bliss Clan won the blood pact ultimate fight to share his joy.
Since Sky City had helped the Sea Bliss Clan to win their blood pact ultimate fight against Connected Beast Park, the Sea Bliss Clan would have to pay a high price. It was possible that all of the Sea Bliss Clan belonged to Sky City now.
Wang Ce wanted to talk about the collaboration with Lin Yuan, but he also wanted to glean information from Lin Yuan to see if he was planning to take all of the Sea Bliss Clan’s resources out of Raging Waves City.
If so, Raging Waves City’s finances and prosperity would be severely affected.
Given the nature of the Sea Bliss Clan’s resources, they would definitely have to be shifted to another seaside city.
Although Raging Waves City was crowned the number one seaside city, other seaside cities like Sea City and Icy Waves City were looming in the shadows.
If the Sea Bliss Clan’s resources were transplanted into Sea City or Icy Waves City, Raging Waves City could lose its title.
This was the last thing that Wang Ce wanted.
Just as Qi Heng was about to step into the house as well, the Mother of Bloodbath turned and obstructed his path.
It pointed at an area not far off where some Raging Waves Guards were training and said, “Go and stand there. When the City Lord is done with his discussion, I’ll come and fetch you. Don’t run off, and don’t call anyone to leak any news. I will be watching you.”

With a wave of the Mother of Bloodbath’s hand, a fingernail-sized red crystal spider landed on Qi Heng’s head.
Qi Heng trembled with anger, but he was helpless.
As a pinnacle emperor-class expert, he was much stronger than the Mother of Bloodbath. But he had no choice but to listen to what it said and even kept the red crystal spider on his head.
However, at the thought of the impending clash between Sky City and An He, all of Qi Heng’s anger vanished.
Inside the house, Wang Ce warmly invited Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath to sit.
He took out two cups carved from Freezing Shells and poured freshly brewed Sea Valley Tea into them while saying to Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath, “Freezing Shell cups are best suited for Sea Valley Tea. It can cool down the Sea Valley Tea quickly, but the cold taste won’t result in freezing either. The Sea Valley Tea has a slight odor to it, but it also has the freshness of seagrass. After drinking the tea, the cooling taste will start to rise, but it will also be sweet at the same time. Have a taste.”
The Mother of Bloodbath took a tentative sip, and its eyes immediately lit up.
The taste of the Sea Valley Tea pleased the Mother of Bloodbath greatly, and it quickly took more gulps.
After drinking the Sea Valley Tea, Lin Yuan agreed that it had a pleasing taste, but it was so fresh that he felt as though he was drinking vegetable soup.
