I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 404 - 345: The Supreme 95!_2
Now,
in Fengtian City, there was hardly anything left for him to reminisce about.
And only after confirming that Chen Miao had really left and had no intention of taking their lives, did one of the leading level 60 Supernaturals collapse to the ground, his voice trembling with cold sweat as he stuttered.
"Elder Wang, you didn’t mention that our employer behind the scenes was Chen Miao!"
"Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have come!"
The more powerful they were, the more they could sense the terror of Chen Miao.
Theoretically, Chen Miao was now only level 63, just 3 levels higher than him, and his ranking on the Federation’s combat power leaderboard was far higher than Chen Miao’s. He shouldn’t feel such fear.
But theory is always just theory.
An entity capable of destroying a civilization on his own, killing a world boss in the blink of an eye.
Today, he actually spat in the face of this man.
He didn’t even dare to boast about it. If word got out, he was certain to lose his head.
"Alright,"
Wang Haina glanced disdainfully at the leading Supernatural. "You should just be happy you saved your life. You’re one of the only ten in the whole Federation who spat at Miao and lived to tell the tale, and there likely won’t be an eleventh."
"It’s worth showing off when you get back."
"Of course, if you’re smart, you won’t blab about it when you return, but that’s none of my concern now. My task is complete, and whatever you do after can’t implicate me."
...
After sending these people away, one of Wang Haina’s confidants approached and asked softly, "Boss, can we let the suppliers come over now? Today is the day we settle accounts."
"Mhm."
Wang Haina nodded. "Let them come over now."
"Boss, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it."
After hesitating for a while, the man ventured, "Why did we delay the meeting with the suppliers today? If they had seen how close you and Chen Miao were, either outside the door or behind the shop, wouldn’t that have worked to our advantage?"
"The subsequent cooperation would be smoother."
"Many things would be more negotiable."
"Sigh."
Wang Haina let out a sigh and shook his head with resignation. "You really don’t know what it’s like to walk on the edge of a knife. Yes, you’re right. If we did it your way, those suppliers would indeed yield more and hardly dispute my proposals."
"But do you know what the cost would be?"

"Doing so would be too conspicuous, causing Miao to clearly feel exploited, which is a bit too utilitarian. When dealing with someone like Miao, one must not harbor strong utilitarian intentions."
"You don’t even need to think about getting something from Miao."
"Because whatever Miao inadvertently lets slip through his fingers is enough for us to indulge in. But on the flip side, once Miao gets the clear impression that we are using him and starts to feel uncomfortable, we would be doomed."
"To speak frankly, even if the suppliers saw my relationship with Miao, so what?"
"Even if we made it big and earned an extra fifty million Star Coins, what of it?"
"Once Miao feels displeased, it’s not about losing Star Coins, but about losing our lives. You need to be clear about what matters more. The outside world already knows we’re close to Miao. We’ve been close since his early days, and Miao often buys props from us here. That’s enough."
"With a heavier trace of greed, it’s uncertain how much more money we could make, but the chances of dying in Fengtian City are quite substantial."
Having said that,
Wang Haina suddenly laughed somewhat emotionally. "Do you know why I managed to establish such a foundation from scratch, even well into middle age?"
"Is it because... you met Miao, a person of great fortune?"
"Not entirely."
Wang Haina looked around the shop with a reflective expression and caressed every item. "In my many attempts at entrepreneurship throughout my life, I’ve never focused on how much I could make from this deal. Instead, I focus on how much I could lose if the deal went south, and how much capital I’d have left to make a comeback."
"I never aim to earn 100%. I only think about how to minimize my losses if things go wrong."

"Just like that, while many of my fellow entrepreneurs were suffering losses so severe they were left without even their underwear, I guarded this store and waited until Miao arrived. In the long journey of life, opportunities are truly plentiful."

"Never worry or, say, regret missing a certain opportunity."
"In this lifetime, a person will encounter countless opportunities."
"Moreover, once you come across an opportunity, don’t cling to it like a life-saving straw, betting all your assets, only to end up with a broken family and lost fortunes. No matter how great the opportunity, always leave yourself enough room for a comeback."
"Surviving is far more difficult than earning more. The reason for this difficulty is not because the task is hard, but because it is extremely counterintuitive."
"As long as you live long enough, then these opportunities will all be yours, with no one to compete against you."
"Alright."
Wang Haina stepped outside the shop, looked down the street at the approaching suppliers, and said with a smile, "Today’s reflections end here, it’s time to get to work."
...
Meanwhile, back in The Land of Extreme Cold, Chen Miao wasted no time in crafting eight ’Sky Eye Matrix Cannons.’
The newly acquired blueprints and materials were quickly used up.
A long, long time ago, he had obtained a prop.
"Edge Fully Revealed."
A prop with a significant reputation in the Federation, and there’s a saying expressly for this item: no one owns this prop, they’re merely its temporary caretakers."
This prop requires constant updates and meeting certain conditions within a set timeframe, or it would be reclaimed."
The conditions are extremely challenging."
Essentially, the player who obtains this prop must blaze an unstoppable path from the outset, progressing to become a high-level supernatural being. If there’s any delay along the way, or if their strength increases too slowly, the prop will be reclaimed."
This is why there is such a phrase in the introduction panel for this prop."
"This prop is the glory awarded to a genius youth who stands out immediately upon entering the mysterious realm! Whether you are a fleeting genius or an unstoppable one, it’s up to you to decide."
A genius who shines only briefly is not worthy of possessing this prop forever."
And this prop has already been leveled up to A rank by him."
There is a very powerful effect after reaching A rank."
Especially for the Gunman Profession."
"Thriftiness leads to wealth, all occupational weapons crafted will only cost 1 Star Coin, and all occupational weapons crafted will fully replicate the prop effect of the player’s strongest occupational weapon, including the augmentation of the skin, accessory modifications, enhancement levels, and so on."
The cost of one Star Coin is inconsequential."
The Gunman Profession requires blueprints, fixed materials, and a certain amount of Star Coins to craft all occupational weapons."
Reducing the Star Coin cost to 1 indeed lessens some expenses, but for him, it’s no longer a concern."
The most important is the subsequent effect, which fully replicates the prop effect of the strongest occupational weapon. This means the eight new Sky Eye Matrix Cannons he just crafted are identical to the one in his backpack."
They possess the same unique ’Nine-Tailed Fox’ firearm skin."
They have the same S-rank accessory ’Falling Star.’
"..."
Chen Miao stood on the surface of The Land of Extreme Cold, looking at the nine Sky Eye Matrix Cannons circling him, with a satisfied grin on his face. Nine was a very auspicious number.
A dignity befitting an Emperor.
Once these nine Sky Eye Matrix Cannons were raised high into the sky, he would indeed be worthy of such imperial dignity."
He suddenly felt the urge to go to the power evaluation realm to test his fully deployed firepower and see what his combat power rating would be."
I wonder if I can make it into the top ten?
Or even... the top three?
But he didn’t have time to ponder these things for the moment, because the countdown for the ’Civilization Furnace’ had ended, and a panel popped up in front of him."
