Pillar of Yita

However, it seems that this method of repair is also commonly used in the Otherworld.

Soon, the other party concluded: ”Yes, Mr. Ade—” Then she exclaimed, ”My God, the score is so high, over seventeen thousand points...”

Fang Hong wasn’t surprised to hear this. The Combat Fairy, as the revival of an ancient school, can be said to have foundational significance. The reviewers from the Artisan Association are all master-level figures from various schools, of course, they would recognize its value, and it’s not surprising to give over ten thousand points for it.

He thought for a moment and then asked, ”Camilla, could you check the Crystal Tier System Design? This isn’t a blueprint, it’s a technical entry. Check the list.”

Blueprints and technical entries are two different paths in the Artisan Association. The ’Hornet-I’ he designed is a blueprint, while his invention of the ’Construct Sea Monster’ reenacts Numelin’s Creatogenesis technique, which is a new Alchemy technique.

Of course, ’Creatogenesis’ is based on his absorption of the Dark Element, and may involve a series of secrets between Fang Nini and the Dragon’s Golden Eyes, so he won’t easily leak this technique until this point is cleared up.

Similar to this is the Zero-Type Crystal technology.

Following his request, Camilla then exclaimed again, ”Ah, I found it... Crystal Tier System Design, Ancient Technology, Directory T-104, Uploader: Ade...”

She turned back in surprise, her mouth agape: ”Mr. Ade, you uploaded this ancient technology... Mr. Ade, you also know ancient technology... Points... Points... Wait, twelve thousand and two hundred points...!!”

Fang Hong took a light breath.

Although he had expected it, hearing this score couldn’t help but bring a sudden sense of delight.

Back then, Aquitez and Merrifin urged him to register this ancient technology at the Elpaxin Artisan Association, which is also on this list. Although the two Old Dwarfs are rather sly, their integrity in Alchemy is impeccable. The uploader of this technology indeed bore his name.

As a pre-technology to the Combat Fairy blueprint, this skill getting over ten thousand points from artisan masters is certainly not surprising.

However, there’s a trace of modification on this score. It should be that the artisan masters didn’t initially give it such a high score—but following the emergence of the Combat Fairy blueprint, a responsible reviewer recalled this matter and went back to change the score.

For the first time, Fang Hong felt that the inheritance Hain Famm left him was indeed an immeasurably huge fortune—not to mention everything the Non-Attribute Crystal brought him, even the peripheral knowledge could fetch twelve thousand points at the Artisan Association.

This itself is a tangible value—

Generally speaking, the points of the Artisan Association are almost the same as those of the Adventurers’ Guild—they can be used to exchange for some precious materials, knowledge, and other resources. The Invokers gave these points a roughly intuitive valuation, multiplied by about one hundred and fifteen, equivalent to the same value in Lycel.

In other words, just the ’Crystal Tier System Design’ is worth nearly 1.5 million Lycel.

Although it looks like it’s only equivalent to the value of a top-tier member’s Magic Guided Weapon from a Grand Guild.

But thinking about it again, it’s almost equivalent to more than twice the entire wealth that the Seven Seas Travel Group has accumulated since its establishment—of course, excluding the Seven Seas Traveler ship.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, ”Can I use this money... no, points?”

Although points cannot be directly converted into money, through an internal market provided by the Artisan Association, they can also be transferred to others. Although there’s about a ten percent discount, and the Artisan Association will charge another ten percent stamp duty, eighty percent of 1.5 million Lycel is still 1.2 million, and he didn’t plan to exchange it all anyway, just a timely relief.

But Camilla took one look, frowned, and said, ”Sorry, Mr. Ade, you can’t.”

”Why not?”

”It says your guardians or mentors have certain requirements for using the points given for this technology.”

Fang Hong was shocked: ”Teacher Ande?”

”No,” the young girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle, ”it says Aquitez Spark and Merrifin Frostbrow.”

”Those damn old bastards!”

Fang Hong was so angry that he almost cursed out loud. Any slight goodwill he had established towards the two Old Dwarfs immediately vanished without a trace. He angrily asked, ”What do they require now?”

”First, you are required to reach level twenty-three,” Camilla was startled by him and said softly, ”and then you have to participate in the Continental League... If not, you at least have to wait until the Continental League is over...”

”The Continental League lasts a year and a half!”

Fang Hong was so angry he nearly spat blood. Twenty-three levels are still easy to talk about—he knew the two Old Dwarfs were quite optimistic about him and were worried he’d squander all this money and delay his future in Alchemy. He was already at level twenty-two, and the next level wouldn’t take much time.

But the Continental League isn’t something that can be finished in a jiffy. After the preliminary rounds end, there’s just the preparation period lasting eleven months, followed by seven months of the tourney, and the final month is for the finals at the Osh Capital.

The entire duration, no more no less, lasts precisely a year and a half.

By the time a year and a half have passed, the opportunity will have gone cold.

He was angry enough to gnash his teeth, yet there was nothing he could do. Because the technology was uploaded with their help, and at that time, he was indeed still an apprentice, subject to the rules of the Artisan Association.
