Pillar of Yita

Gita was slightly taken aback and looked at the other party in disbelief.

Fang Hong was also surprised, even though he had heard some things about the internal struggle within Tabopolis from Gita and Luo Yu, he didn’t expect it to escalate to such a point. He hurriedly asked, ”What’s going on?”

”It’s all because of that regulation from the Super Competitive League. Tabopolis has split into two factions; one supports seeking financial injection and establishing a formal commercial club. The other faction consists of the chairman and Sister Hongxiu, hoping the Oak Knights can stick to their original intent.”

”Those people are causing quite a stir, and many within the guild support them. The chairman finds it impossible to unify everyone’s opinion. Plus, the Super Competitive League holds the public opinion high ground, which made us quite passive for some time.”

”With no other choice, Sister Hongxiu could only privately instruct those of us still siding with the chairman to disband into smaller adventure groups, keeping Tabopolis’s name alive in some form. If Tabopolis ceases to exist, at least there’s still us—”

Red Leaf then said, ”So actually, I quickly won’t be a member of Tabopolis. You wouldn’t blame us, would you?”

Fang Hong in his heart felt great agreement with Yugudola and the chairman’s decision. His respect for those who insisted on the freedom ideology of the Pioneers was everlasting. He immediately replied, ”The contract I signed with the Oak Knights, what does it have to do with Tabopolis?”

Red Leaf glanced at him in surprise.

”Sister Hongxiu indeed left such a loophole when signing the contract with you. I didn’t expect you to notice it?”

”What do you mean I noticed it!?” Fang Hong was sweating profusely, thinking when did he ever notice it, it was purely a stroke of luck. It was just that Gita and Luo Yu had told him about the differences between Tabopolis and the Oak Knights.

And with his affirmation, Red Leaf breathed a sigh of relief.

She replied, ”Luce is on their side. They initially didn’t look favorably on your adventure group or the matters with Luo Yu and Gita, always attacking the agreement that Sister Hongxiu insisted on signing with you. But after this incident, people saw your potential. They’re not fools, so they’re eager to win you over.”

”They truly are despicable,” Gita said with distaste, furrowing his brows.

Fang Hong immediately removed the other party from his list of people to meet, thinking that anyone who starts with ’Can we talk in private?’ is never a good one.

”So, what about this batch of materials?”

”We have now divided into twenty-two groups, and I’m the captain of the eleventh group. Many people have sided with Luce, so these groups only retain most of the core members. We’ve had to recruit many newcomers, and right now, starting from scratch, I’m eager to find a stable logistics channel. Sister Hongxiu recommended you. Honestly, I was startled to find out it’s you. Back when I tried to pull you into the group, you were adamant about not joining, but who knew we’d end up cooperating like this. Truly, the world is unpredictable.”

Hearing this, Fang Hong was inclined to help her, not just due to his unplanned connection with Red Leaf, Liuli Yue, and Wu Di, but primarily due to his recognition of Yugudola and the chairman’s ideals. ”Then, what equipment do you need? Could you detail it in a list for me? I’ll do my utmost.”

Red Leaf was taken aback, ”Hold on. You wouldn’t be trying to make a batch of legendary equipment for me, right? I’ve heard that you can effortlessly craft legendary equipment, but that’s too exaggerated.”

”Is it really that outrageous?” Fang Hong thought of the crazy rumors circulating in the community. Yet he couldn’t help but imagine, if everyone in the group had a set of A+ level premium equipment, it would be quite interesting.

Although, if that’s the case, the production cycle might be rather lengthy.

”Regarding these materials, there’s actually something I need to discuss with you.” Red Leaf suddenly said.

”What’s that?”

Red Leaf opened the communication crystal, the light projecting an avatar.

Fang Hong recognized it immediately; it was Yugudola.

The swordswoman looked visibly fatigued, but upon seeing him, she couldn’t help but smile: ”Ade, it turns out my judgment was quite spot-on.”

Fang Hong felt awkward and didn’t know how to respond to such indirect praise.

Yugudola then smiled softly and said, ”I heard you’re planning to build a Floating Ship, aren’t you? In this batch of materials, there’s some Mithril, Elf Vine, and Rock Shark Leather, which might be useful for you. These were specially prepared for your group.”

Fang Hong was shocked, ”How can this be? These terms aren’t in the contract.”

”This isn’t about the contract,” Yugudola gently shook her head. ”Ade, Tabopolis’s situation has taught us some things.”

She suddenly became somewhat serious: ”Have you ever thought about this question?”

This abrupt seriousness caught Fang Hong off guard.

The other party continued, ”Do you remember the Mount Holy Pact incident? It marked the beginning of a rift between the domestic league’s lower-tier Chosen and the Guild Alliance, creating quite a stir at the time. And not long ago, the second Mount Holy Pact incident occurred, even involving the Sea Witch. Both Mount Holy Pact incidents have had a profound impact on our league.”

Fang Hong nodded.

He also thought of Miya—

The two Mount Holy Pact incidents echoed the voice of the silent majority.
