Fang Yu and the young man were sitting at two adjacent tables. They were separated by the candlelight on the wooden table. There were also two dwarf guards wearing sentry helmets staring at each other. They could only stare at each other. .
"Just wait, I won't beat you until your mother recognizes you." The boy wiped a handful of soup on his forehead with his hand, and said through gritted teeth as he felt extremely disgusted.
"Both each other." Fang Pultru was also unhappy. When the dwarf pushed him down, he hit his head on the ground and got a big bruise. Obviously, the blame should be placed on the other party.
The dwarf referee looked at the two problem children and shook his head.
He walked over, raised his head and said to Fang Plover: "If the Artisan General can't come back, then you still have a lot of time to adjust your state -"
What he meant was to ask Fang Plover to get at least some reasonable equipment. Although the competition stipulated that participants could only use their own or team's equipment, before the main competition started, these people still had time to use the bonuses from the qualifying rounds to Do something.
Fifty thousand Lisels is not much, but it is not too much.
Fang Yu knew the other party's good intentions and nodded quickly.
The young man wiped his face with a towel. Seeing this scene, he subconsciously wanted to say something sarcastic, but Wu Di, who was standing aside, patted his shoulder and shook his head at him. The other party was obviously very convinced of his partner, so he kept his mouth shut.
The dwarf referee asked again: "Are you interested in working for the Kaolin Business Alliance after the game? You know, we are the largest business organization alliance in the Yunzhihai area, and we have always been willing to train truly talented newcomers. , and combat craftsmen are the most popular existence in any chamber of commerce or ship group."
'when--'
Hu Di suddenly dropped the cup on the ground. He reacted quickly and picked it up hurriedly and embarrassedly.
But others did not notice his actions. Tianlan, Jita and Luo Yu all stopped, looked at the dwarf referee in surprise, and then looked at Fang Plion - except for Aitila and Papalar. Except for the crossbowmen, because they are not natives.
Even the young man from the Silver Forest Spear was about the same. He plucked his ears and almost thought he heard wrongly.
Everyone knows how huge the Kaolin Merchant Alliance is in the Cloud Sea region. Its influence on this area is probably second only to the Artisans Association and the Kaolin-Ithurian Alliance itself. Even the Rainbow Alliance cannot compete with it. On a par with the other - the former is not only extremely wealthy, but also has the support of the Kaolin royal family behind him, and is also a force that cannot be ignored in the political map of the alliance.
Most of these dwarfs are from the Elpaxin Merchant Association, so the dwarf referee is equivalent to representing the Kaolin Merchant Association. What an honor it is. The Kaolin Chamber of Commerce is a purely administrative organization, so it rarely recruits administrative staff from outside, let alone recruiters.
Several eyes looked at Fang Plover in unison.
But Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and asked: "But I am the chosen one?"
This answer made Tianlan almost faint, thinking: "What is in Brother Ed's head?" She really wanted to pry it open and see why he could be so stupid and cute.
The dwarf referee was very patient and replied: "What does it matter, kid? There are also many selectors working for the Merchant Alliance. This is a free organization, and people have the common purpose of yearning for wealth. Come here and jointly build the Sea of Clouds - the prosperous economic order of the Kaolin Kingdom, regardless of origin or origin."
"That's weird." Everyone thought. The chambers of commerce under the Kaolin Chamber of Commerce may have many selectees, and most of them are engaged in short-term jobs such as mercenaries and guards. But the Chamber of Commerce is an exception. Not to mention the selectors, even those with status who want to work in the association need recommenders.
Judging from the intention of this dwarf referee, he wants to be Fang Plover's recommender.
Jita was still a little curious. Those who could become recommenders in the Business Alliance were at least middle- and upper-class people. Could this dwarf referee be a prominent figure or official in the Kaolin Business Alliance?
Fang Plover was actually a little moved. He didn't know everything about the Kaolin Merchant Alliance, and of course he understood the opponent's size. The alchemist itself is a profession that consumes a lot of money and time. It is actually a life profession prepared for large guilds and large organizations.
But rights and obligations are often equal -
Although staying in the Merchant Alliance solved the immediate problem, it would only be a constraint in the long run. He would not stay in Yunzhihai forever. Fang Yu knew in his heart what he was pursuing. It was a dream that he could never give up.
What's more, that was his promise to Miss Scarpet and everyone in Dawn Star.
He was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Sorry, I still like an adventurous life, Mr. Referee."
The dwarf referee looked at him and was silent for a moment.
In his rich life experience, this was the first time he encountered someone who rejected his recommendation, and he was so decisive that he didn't even have to think too much. He subconsciously stroked his pointed beard, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was out of recklessness, blindness or confidence.
Hu Di looked at Fang Plover with a somewhat complicated expression.
Tian Lan twisted Luo Yu's arm hard, causing the latter to gasp in pain: "What are you doing?"
"Let me see if I'm in a dream."
"You were not in a dream, it was very real. Mr. Ed refused, and I also saw it -" Luo Yu replied angrily.
"Then he must be crazy."
"What's the difference between you and him? You don't turn a blind eye to the twelve-color iris."
"That's different."
"I think it's about the same." Luo Yu rarely said a few more words, and then he stomped his toes hard against Tianlan, bending down in a cold sweat.
Jita also carefully pulled Fang Plover's sleeve, but the latter only smiled gently at him.
What no one expected was that the boy who had the biggest reaction was the boy who suddenly stood up and said, "What a retarded person, so self-righteous! Who do you think you are, an Elite or a member of the Silver Wisland youth training team?"
Fang Yu was furious when he saw this guy. He rubbed his bruised forehead and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Of course it's none of my business, I just get angry when I see a retarded person," the young man turned back to Wu Di angrily and said, "Let's go, I'm going to wash up. Out of sight, out of mind."
Wu Di nodded, but before leaving, he looked at Fang Plover specifically for the first time and seemed a little surprised.
And Tianlan rarely quarreled with the other party.
There was a bit of silence around, which made Fang Yu uncomfortable - as if he had done something stupid again. After looking at the others, he took the initiative and said, "Tianlan, I thought you would quarrel with that guy again."
Unexpectedly, the little French girl was a little embarrassed and replied: "Actually, I think that guy is right. Brother Ed, you might as well think about it again?"
Fang Yuan smiled sarcastically, shook his head and said: "I know very well what kind of temperament I have, but that kind of life is not suitable for me - my uncle often told me a truth when I was young, some immediate interests will make us sway, but not If you forget your original intention, you will not be confused.”
"Ben...xin?"
Tian Lan was slightly startled.
Luo Yu and Jita couldn't help but glance at each other. What were their true intentions? In the long run, it seems that becoming the Chosen should be a starting point rather than an end, but what about after that?
The little French girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "You are right, brother Ed."
After hearing this, the dwarf referee thought for a moment and couldn't help but look at the young man with admiration. Excellent alchemists are the most valuable asset of the Merchant Alliance. Over the years, the Kaolin Merchant Alliance has always maintained a competitive relationship with the craftsmen in the Yunzhihai area, but no matter how much the two compete, they often cannot retain those true geniuses.
Maybe this is the reason...
They are people who truly yearn for the clouds and the sea, so they will not curl up easily; what they pursue is the world that truly belongs to them, above the clouds, behind the land bridge, the new and broader world——
He suddenly took out a card. The card was also made of copper. It glowed yellow under the firelight and had some strange patterns engraved on it. He handed the card over and said, "Okay, if you change your mind at any time, you can take this card and come to Kaolin Business Alliance to find me."
Fang Plover did not dare to refuse the other party's kindness. He took the card and saw that the name 'Falaise-Short Bay' was engraved on the copper plate, which was in line with the naming rules of dwarfs. He thought it was the referee's name, so he nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Falaise."
"You're welcome, I like you, young man."
The dwarf referee said goodbye to them and then left.
Tianlan looked at the business card in Fang Yu's hand and was full of surprise: "This is the business card of Kaolin Business Alliance. He actually gave you a business card. Oh my God, he must be very optimistic about you, brother Ed."
She looked very distressed. "I regret it a little bit again. I still think you should agree to him."
Fang Yu laughed dumbly and shook the business card in his hand: "Isn't it just a business card? Isn't this thing given out casually?"
"Put it away, Ed." But Etila said.
Jita then explained in a low voice: "Aitaria's business card is different from that on Earth. Brother Ed, many large organizations have such business cards, and they have magic power on them. Such business cards are like the Kaolin Business Alliance A total of not many can be easily issued in a year. Holding it is equivalent to having a pass equivalent to its owner's authority."
"That's just like a magic letter of introduction." At this time, Papalar finally cleaned up the mashed potatoes on his body and interjected with his hands lying on the chair.
"Of course there are more," Tianlan replied: "This thing can allow you to enjoy high-quality services in many places, at least in the Yunzhihai area. I calculated that we can save at least half of the money on purchasing supplies. ." She clasped her fingers and exaggerated: "Wow, now we are prosperous, this is a lot of money."
After hearing this, Fang Yu quickly and carefully put away the business card, looking very unpromising.
I have no choice but to be poor.
"Okay," Attila stood up at this time and clapped her hands: "That's enough of the good news. Don't forget that we have more important things to do now."
"What's going on?" Fang Yu was confused.
"It's your competition." Even the elf girl couldn't stand this guy and gave him a gentle look: "So don't be so impulsive next time. The formal competition is completely different from the qualifying competition, but since you are participating, you must try your best to win. Go, I and others will help you make some preparations."
Only then did Tianlan remember that there was such a thing, and nodded excitedly: "Sister Aitila is right, I will help collect information about my opponent."
The two people's words reminded Fang Yu.
The next game is foreseeably difficult, and he doesn't know exactly how far he can go. Naturally, he can't do nothing like preparations for the qualifying games - in fact, he has already suffered such hardships in previous games. .
He planned to transform the Kingfisher α magic furnace first. There was nothing wrong with the magic furnace itself, but the crystal given to him by the dwarf merchant had to be transformed into a one-type crystal before he could use it. Otherwise, just relying on the core crystal in the glove to challenge an opponent of more than ten levels like before would be basically equivalent to giving away someone's head.
Then there is the redesign and transformation of the Pacers. Now that he has game bonuses, he is naturally more confident - he no longer needs to rely on that 'woodwork' to conquer the world.
Fang Yu doesn't expect to transform the Pacers into a high-end model like Type II, but at least it should be a derivative series close to Type II, 700 to 800, instead of his inexplicable Type 170.
This requires some metal raw materials and secondary crystals, as well as a red crystal energy generating device and balance device. However, these things should be easy to purchase here, and the price is not too expensive, so he gave them to Atila Miss.
At this time, Luo Yu also stood up and said: "The next is the match between Mr. Ed and the player from the El Paxin Craftsmen Association. I'll go to the competition ground first. If the other party abstains, I will I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Fang Yu nodded and glanced at the other party gratefully. This would more or less save him some time.
, "Then I have to pay attention to the next game," Tianlan sighed: "Oh, it's really uncomfortable to watch the battle between those two annoying guys."
Then she said to Jita: "Tata, how about you collect paper intelligence."
Jita nodded slightly.
"Then Mr. Parker -" Sky Blue ordered.
"I understand, I understand," the Papalar crossbowman immediately jumped down from his chair: "Protect Jita, right?"
The former winked at him and gave the guy an appreciative look.
At this time, Hu Di also stood up and said, "I'll go too." Fang Pliong looked at him and originally wanted him to stay as his assistant, but suddenly he saw Hu Di's lack of interest. He seemed to understand something in his heart.
Then he took his words back silently.
Fang Yu knew that it was probably the incident with the Kaolin Business Alliance that had stimulated him.
However, he looked at everyone who was suddenly busy and felt a little moved. This was his competition, but everyone seemed to regard it as their own business.
Speaking of which, he, Tian Lan, Etila and Luo Yu had known each other for only one day.
Not to mention Hu Di.
Fang Yu couldn't help but said: "Thank you everyone."
But Tianlan waved her hand indifferently: "Don't say that, this is also to teach that guy a lesson. I have wanted to teach that bastard a lesson for a long time -"
Fang Yu rubbed his forehead, deeply convinced of this.
