Pillar of Yita

’Thunk,’ Tianlan almost toppled backward off her chair.

She pressed her hands on the table, exaggeratedly asking: ”How much? A few million?”

Fang Hong glanced at his character panel, pretending to be very ’neutral,’ even acting ’nonchalant,’ and nodded. ”To be precise, it’s over seven million.”

Actually, he was secretly delighted to the point of soaring in his heart; this was a huge amount of money, even more than the Seven Seas Travel Group had earned since its founding.

Doesn’t this show how capable he is as a captain?

Beside him, Hilveld only bowed her head and chuckled secretly — all of this was probably seen by her as the captain’s childish pride.

But Tianlan didn’t care about that, curiously reaching out to cover his forehead: ”Brother Ade, are you daydreaming or what.”

Fang Hong blocked her hand: ”What daydream, this is real.”

Tianlan chuckled three times.

Fang Hong always felt that this little brat gave no face to him as the captain; this is truly intolerable.

Hilveld then laughed and agreed: ”By the way, the Seven Seas Traveler has spent a lot of money this month, so the captain’s money came just in time.”

”Ah, Miss Hilveld even believes that? She’s doting on the captain too much.”

”Tianlan!”

Only then did the latter laugh loudly and flee.

She later ran to Elisa, chattering and gesturing.

And Miss Nightingale also nodded with a smile, occasionally glancing over here — they indeed scored a fortune — as Hilveld said, the money was a lifesaver.

Fang Hong saw this scene, knowing he was being teased. Tianlan was as sly as a ghost; how could she not know he wouldn’t joke about such a thing? She knew it was real from the start and was merely teasing him.

Fang Hong couldn’t help but feel a bit angry, Luo Yu wasn’t there, Atira wasn’t there, and this little brat was becoming spoiled.

The unexpected wealth obtained from the Bain Fortress treasury was more than expected, with all the jewels converted to equivalent value, totaling thirteen million Lycel.

Although the division was fifty-fifty, the value of jewelry wasn’t quite equal, so Fang Hong finally took seven million and forty thousand, while the Shield of Lufu got a little less, but they were also quite satisfied and didn’t dare to ask for more.

A few days ago, he worried that Count Nulman and the King of Sand would come to demand the money, but later realized he was overthinking — to him, the amount was astronomical, but for Istania and Bain, it was nothing. Arming a main member of the Grand Guild costs millions of Lycel, naturally, a city like Bain couldn’t be poorer than a guild.

Yet, the economic disparity was indeed excessive.

Fang Hong couldn’t help but sigh, during his time at Morning Dawn Star, the adventure group’s average monthly income per person was only a few thousand Lycel. The total assets of the group wouldn’t exceed one million Lycel, with even less cash. These ’small amounts’ disregarded by others were astronomical in his eyes.

But Fang Hong believed that one day the millions of Lycel would be insignificant to him, the Seven Seas Travel Group would have its day. He secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

Of course, Morning Dawn Star was a special case.

Or let’s say, a kind of special case.

Adventure group members are such people, always dreaming of discovering Ancient Era treasures and getting rich overnight.

When they’re unable to sustain themselves, they’d seek sponsorship from nobles or the royal household, or take a short-term commission to get by.

As for ordinary days, their income might not necessarily be more than regular folks, perhaps not even compared to the common people in a big city like Elpaxin.

But with money, construction progress of the Seven Seas Traveler could advance significantly, previously deliberated building materials could now be used directly. The current Seven Seas Traveler was only a Level 7 Floating Ship, tiny to the point of being nearly miniature, a few million Lycel could almost create one directly, not to mention that they had prepared so much beforehand.

Fang Hong even considered directly upgrading the Seven Seas Traveler.

Of course, the exterior dragon bone was already decided, it’s unchangeable. But past hesitations on certain chambers could now be acted upon.

His first plan was adding a Magic Potion Cultivation Room, using the most expensive Dryads for fairy assistance, one costing a million each, along with placing the Magic Potion Cultivation Room, medical room, and revival chamber together; proper management would lead to the Seven Seas Travel Group producing various magic potions continuously in the future.

Even the most basic Magic Potion Cultivation Space could solve Mana Potions and Life Potions supply issues below Level 45, community forums say even in rookie management a monthly yield of thirteen bottles is the worst, they even have a Miss Druid, they wouldn’t fall to the lowest level, right?

Looking at the current adventure frequency, the Seven Seas Travel Group goes on three to four adventures per month, accumulating various potions for several months can store hundreds of bottles, enough for a mission.

Unlike now, being stingy in combat, seldom utilizing magic potions — let alone Life Potions, Mana Potions were never even seen, going out only equipped with a few Magic Storage Crystals, basically turning him into a walking power bank. Although it’s indeed a solution, Magic Storage Crystals are heavy and cumbersome, carrying too many severely affects the team’s mobility.
