Pillar of Yita

”This price is simply outrageous no matter how you look at it. Fang Hong isn’t a fool and was about to argue when Yugudola quickly changed the topic: ”Well, I was only joking, Mr. Ade.”

The baby-faced girl’s expression turned slightly serious: ”However, I’ve roughly understood the economic situation of your team. Even if the price was half of this, it would still be very difficult for you to afford. How do you plan to pay, Mr. Ade?”

Hearing this, Fang Hong pondered for a moment. The most valuable things he had were the Zero-Type Crystal and the Type-One Crystal, but these items could not be revealed to the public at this time. Next came the Fire Giant, but it was not easy to imitate the Fire Giant type Sword Bearers sold to Silver Weslan and sell them to Tabopolis, because Sword Bearers, as self-destructive bodies, were not cheap, and Tabopolis, which did not have the long-held position of the top guild in China like the former, could not afford to ignore cost issues.

The true value of the Fire Giant was there, but Fang Hong didn’t want to spread this thing for the time being, especially after the battle with Fenris. If Tabopolis were to acquire a Fire Giant from him, others could guess his relationship with Xiaya—

Even though Red Leaf was also from Tabopolis.

And she might be the only person who knew both his identity as Xiaya and his real identity (neither Wu Di nor Liuli Yue had seen his real face), but firstly, it had been a long time since he had contact with Red Leaf, who might be on a secret mission; secondly, given his relationship with Red Leaf, if she were to reveal this relationship to others, she would not fail to tell him the reason.

Fang Hong actually had another method.

He first asked, ”Tabopolis should be at a critical moment in preparing to enter the Second World, right?”

The baby-faced girl was stunned by his question, looking surprised, but also nodded frankly, as Tabopolis was trying to challenge the position of a second-tier guild, and there was nothing to hide about this.

As everyone knows, within the Super Competitive League, the super first-line guilds naturally include Silver Weslan and Elite, and the ten major guilds.

Below them are the first-line guilds, that is, those that have top strength in the Second World but have not yet made it to the ranks of the ten major guilds, such as BBK, Myth, and Azure Wings, and so on.

These two layers are the top tier of the China Region Super Competitive Alliance and also represent the main forces in the Second World—

The third layer gradually moves away from the Second World, usually referring to Silver Forest Spear, Jiefulite Red Cloak Team, and other Eteliria second-tier guilds that have roots in the Second World but are not based in Eteliria.

The fourth layer includes some well-known Free Guilds, seeking opportunities to stand out and survive among the major guilds, such as Rain Listener and Blood Oath Alliance.

The last layer, then, consists of all other guilds including those less influential family and friend small guilds, adventure groups, and even individual Free Summoners.

Today’s Tabopolis is between the fourth and third layers—it is no longer inferior to Silver Forest Spear and Jiefulite Red Cloak Team, and its core troops are even stronger, but lacking a foundation in the Second World ultimately keeps it unrooted like duckweed.

It might be flourishing for a time, but decline often comes in just one generation of summoners.

However, today’s Tabopolis might be yesterday’s Silver Forest Spear and Jiefulite—people today cannot rely on the past achievements of others, so they must carve out their own path.

The goal of her and Zi Feiyu’s generation is naturally to move the guild into the second tier and secure tickets to the Second World. This is their only chance; if the guild’s most prosperous generation cannot accomplish this goal, once people’s morale dissipates, a rootless Free Guild often quickly heads toward its end.

Under the opportunity, there often lies risks that people fail to see—

But these people are all brave enough to steer through the storm, and thus Yugudola nodded very calmly; the guild had been preparing a year or two ago, being aggressively progressive on one hand and prudently mitigating risks on the other, with Gita and Luo Yu and their group of newcomers actually being a part of this plan.

Fang Hong also thought of this. For the current Tabopolis, preparation work is very important, which is where they greatly differ from the well-established old Second WorldGuilds.

Unless there is an injection of external funds, but Tabopolis is precisely a Free Guild, and how hard is it for a Free Summoners’ Guild to enter the Second World? The East Commonwealth also paid a great price to enter the Second World back in the day.

”Then you must need a lot of materials, right? Such as Magic Guided Conductors?” Fang Hong asked.

Yugudola looked at the youngster somewhat amusedly: ”You’re not planning to use Magic Guided Conductors to offset the price, Mr. Ade, not to mention you are a Combat Artisan, and your level isn’t that high, right?”

Fang Hong shook his head: ”I can make Magic Guided Conductors below Level 20.”

”Magic Guided Conductors below Level 20 are not enough,” Yugudola said, though she was somewhat surprised internally. Red Leaf had mentioned that the opposite party was a Combat Artisan, and the feedback from Zi Feiyu, Gita, and Luo Yu was similar.

Furthermore, his level was supposed to be lower than Red Leaf’s. Being able to make Magic Guided Conductors below Level 20 meant that he at least had to be a demi-pure Artisan Master.

What exactly is his profession?

”But the quality is very high.”

”The quality is very high?” Now Yugudola was truly surprised. A cute, interested expression appeared on her baby face. Someone actually boasted that the Magic Guided Conductors they made were of high quality. How high could it be?
