Fang Yu and the young man sat at two adjacent tables, separated by candles on the wooden table, and two dwarven guards with sentry helmets staring at each other.

"You wait, I won't beat you so much that my mother won't recognize you." The boy wiped a handful of soup on his forehead with his hand, disgusted, and said through gritted teeth.

"Each other, each other." Fang Yu was also not angry, he hit his head to the ground when he was pushed down by the dwarf, and bruised a large piece, this account should obviously be counted on the other party.

The gnome referee looked at the two problem children and shook his head.

He walked over, tilted his head and said to the plover, "If the craftsman can't come back, then you still have a lot of time to adjust your state—"

His implication was for Fang Yu to get at least a reasonable piece of equipment, and although the competition stipulated that the contestants could only use their own equipment or the team's equipment, these people still had time to use the prize money from the qualifiers to do something before the main competition began.

Fifty thousand miles is not much, but less is not less.

Fang Yu knew the other party's kindness, and quickly nodded.

The young man wiped his face with a towel, and subconsciously wanted to sneer at this scene, but Wu Di, who was standing on the side, patted him on the shoulder and shook his head at him. The other party was obviously convinced of his partner, and closed his mouth.

The dwarf referee asked again: "Are you interested in coming to work in the Kaolin Business Alliance after the game?" You know, we're the largest alliance of business organizations in the Cloud Sea, and we've always been hesitant to train truly talented newcomers, and the Battle Craftsman is the most popular presence in both the Chamber of Commerce and the Ship Regiment. ”

'When-'

Hu Di suddenly lost his hand and dropped the cup on the ground. He reacted with a stirring spirit and hurriedly picked it up embarrassed.

But the others didn't notice his actions, and Sky Blue, Kita, and Luo Yu all stopped, looked at the dwarf referee in surprise, and then at Fang Ou, except for Ettila and Paparal crossbowmen, who were not natives.

Even the young man with the spear of the Silver Forest was about the same, plucking out his ears, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

No one knows what a behemoth the Korin Merchant Alliance is in the Cloud Sea region, and its influence on this region is probably second only to the Craftsmen's Union and the Korin-Ishurian Alliance itself, even if it is the Rainbow Alliance, which is not only rich and rivaled, but also has the support of the Cowlin royal family, and is also a force to be reckoned with in the political map of the Alliance.

Most of these gnomes are from the Elpahim Business Alliance, so the dwarf referee is equivalent to representing the general meeting of the Kaulin Business Alliance, what an honor. The Cowling Chamber of Commerce is a purely governing body, so it is rare to recruit administrative staff from outside, let alone to electees.

Several eyes looked at Fang Yu in unison.

But Fang Yu paused for a moment and asked, "But I'm the one who is called?" ”

This answer made Tianlan almost faint, and she thought to herself, "What is in Ed brother's head?" She really wanted to pry it open to see why she could make the other person so stupid and cute.

The dwarf referee was very patient, and replied: "What does it matter, little friend, there are also many electors working for the Shang Alliance, this is a free organization, people come here with the common purpose of yearning for wealth, and jointly build the prosperous economic order of the Cloud Sea, the kingdom of Kaulin, regardless of origin or origin. ”

"It's weird." Everyone thought to themselves. The chambers of commerce under the Kaulin Chamber of Commerce may have many recruiters, and most of them are engaged in short-term jobs such as mercenaries and guards. However, the general association of the business alliance is an exception, not to mention the electors, even some people with status to enter the general association to work also need to be referred.

Look at the meaning of this dwarf referee, he is to be Fang Yuan's recommender.

Ji Ta was still a little curious in her heart, at least the people who could become recommenders in the Business Alliance were at least middle and upper-class people, and this dwarf referee could be a certain leader or official of the Kaolin Business Alliance?

Fang Yu was actually a little excited. He is not completely ignorant of the Kaolin Business Alliance, of course he understands the size of the other party. The alchemist itself is a profession that consumes money and time, and it is actually a life profession prepared for large guilds and large organizations.

But rights and obligations are often reciprocal -

Although staying in Shangmeng solves the current problem, it will only be a constraint in the long run, he will not stay in the sea of clouds forever, Fang Yu knows in his heart what he is pursuing, it is a dream that he will never give up.

What's more, it was still his promise to Miss Scarpe, to the people of Dawnstar.

He was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, but I'm still an adventurous person, Mr. Referee. ”

The gnome referee looked at him and was silent for a moment.

In his rich life experience, this is the first time he has met someone who refuses his recommendation, and he is so decisive that he doesn't even have much time to think. 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 Yu with a somewhat complicated expression on the side.

Tian Lan twisted Luo Yu's arm hard, causing the latter to gasp in pain: "What are you doing?" ”

"I see if I'm in a dream."

"You're not in a dream, it's real, Mr. Ed refused, and I saw it too—" Luo Yu replied angrily.

"Then he must be crazy."

"What's the difference between you and him, it's not the same as turning a blind eye to the twelve-colored irises."

"That's different."

"I think it's about the same." Luo Yu said a few more words rarely, and then stomped his toes, and bent down in a cold sweat.

Kita also tugged at Fang Yuan's sleeve carefully, but the latter only smiled gently at him.

What everyone didn't expect was that the biggest reaction was the young man, who suddenly stood up and said, "What a retarded and self-righteous!" Who do you think you are, Elite or a member of the Academy at Silver Vislan? ”

Fang Yu was angry when he saw this guy, he rubbed his bruised forehead, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Of course it's none of my business, it's just that I get angry when I see my retarded," the young man turned back to Wu Di angrily and said, "Let's go, I'll go wash up, out of sight and out of mind." ”

Wu Di nodded, but before leaving, he looked at Fang Yu for the first time, and he looked a little surprised.

And Tianlan rarely didn't quarrel with the other party.

There was some silence around him, which made Fang Yu uncomfortable - as if he had done something stupid again. After looking at the others, he took the initiative to speak: "Tianlan, I thought you would quarrel with that guy again." ”

Unexpectedly, the French girl was a little embarrassed, and replied: "Actually, I also think that guy is right, Brother Ed, you might as well think about it again?" ”

Fang Yu smiled sassily, shook his head and said: "I know very well what kind of character I am, but that kind of life is not suitable for me - when I was a child, my uncle often told me a truth, some immediate interests will make us shake, but if we don't forget our hearts, we won't be confused." ”

"Ben...... Heart? ”

Tianlan was slightly stunned.

Luo Yu and Ji Ta couldn't help but glance at each other, what was their original intention? In the long run, becoming a Fellow seems to be a starting point rather than an end in itself, but what about after that?

The little French girl bowed her head and pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: "You are right, Brother Ed. ”

When the dwarf referee heard this, he thought for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the young man with admiration. Excellent alchemists are the most valuable wealth of the Shang Alliance, and over the years, the Kaolin Business Alliance has maintained a competitive relationship with the craftsmen of the Cloud Sea region, but no matter how the two compete, they often can't retain those true geniuses.

Maybe that's why......

They are the ones who truly yearn for the clouds and the sea, so they don't curl up easily; What they are chasing is the world that truly belongs to them, above the clouds, behind the land bridge, the new world that is much more expansive—

He suddenly pulled out a card, which was also made of copper, glowing yellow in the firelight, and engraved with some strange patterns. He handed over the card and said, "Okay, if you change your mind at some point, you can take this card to the Kaolin Business Alliance to find me." ”

Fang Yu didn't dare to refuse the other party's kindness, took the card, and saw that the copper plate was engraved with the name 'Falais-Short Bay', which was in line with the naming law of dwarfs. Thinking it was the referee's name, he nodded and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Falaise." ”

"You're welcome, I'm optimistic about you, young man."

The gnome referee then said goodbye to them, and then left.

Tianlan looked at the business card in Fang Yuan's hand, full of surprise: "This is the business card of the Kaolin Business Alliance, he actually gave you a business card, Tianna, he must be very optimistic about you, Brother Ed." ”

She looked very distressed. "I regret it a little again, I still think you should promise him."

Fang Yu smiled dumbly, and shook the business card in his hand: "Isn't it just a business card, isn't this thing sent casually?" ”

"Put it away, Eddard." But Attila said.

Kita then explained in a low voice, "Attaria's business card is not the same as on Earth, Brother Ed, many large organizations have such a business card, and it has magic attached to it. Such a business card will not be easily issued in a year, and if you hold it, it is equivalent to having a pass equivalent to its owner's authority. ”

"That's just a magic introduction." At this time, the Paparal man finally cleaned the mashed potatoes from his body, and interjected as he leaned on his chair with his hands.

"Of course," Azure replied, "This thing can give you access to good service in many places, at least in the Cloud Sea region." I'll calculate that we'll save at least half of the money on supplies. She snapped her fingers and exaggerated: "Wow, this is developed, this is a lot of money." ”

When Fang Yu heard this, he hurriedly and carefully put away his business card, looking very unproductive.

I can't help it, I'm scared.

"Alright," Attila stood up and clapped her hands, "That's all for the good news, don't forget that we have more important things to do now." ”

"What's the matter?" Fang Yu was confused.

"It's your game," even the elf girl couldn't stand this guy a little, and glared at him gently: "So don't be so impulsive next time, the official competition is completely different from the qualifiers, but since you participated, you naturally have to go all out, and I and others will help you make some preparations." ”

Tianlan recalled that there was still this matter, and hurriedly nodded excitedly: "Sister Atira is right, I'll go and help collect the opponent's information." ”

The words of the two reminded Fang Yu.

The next game was predictably difficult, and he didn't know exactly how far he could go, so he naturally couldn't do no preparation like in the qualifiers - in fact, he had already suffered such hardships in the previous games.

He plans to first transform the Kingfisher α Magic Furnace, the magic furnace itself is fine, but the crystal given to him by the dwarf merchant must be transformed into a type of crystal before he can use it. Otherwise, just by manipulating the core crystal in the glove to challenge more than ten level opponents like before, it is basically equivalent to the act of giving away people's heads.

Then there was the redesign and transformation of the Pacers, and now that he has the prize money, he naturally has a lot more confidence - there is no need to rely on that 'carpentry' to win the world.

Fang didn't expect to transform the Walker to the high-end of Type II, but at least it should be a 700 to 800 spin-off series close to Type II, not his inexplicable Type 170.

This requires some metal raw materials and secondary crystals, as well as a set of red crystal energy generators and balancers, but these should be easy to come by here, and the price will not be too expensive, so he will leave it to Miss Attila.

At this time, Luo Yu also stood up and said, "Next is the match between Mr. Ed and that player from the Elpahim Craftsman Association, I'll go to the competition field first, and if the other party abstains, I'll come back and inform you as soon as possible." ”

Fang Yu nodded and glanced at the other party very gratefully, which could more or less save him a little time.

"Then I'll just have to focus on the next game," Sky Blue sighed, "Oops, it's really uncomfortable to watch the battle between those two nasty guys." ”

Then she said to Kita, "Tata, why don't you come and collect information on paper." ”

Kita nodded slightly.

"And Mr. Parker—" Azure commanded.

"I understand, I understand," the Paparal crossbowman immediately jumped out of his chair, "protect Kita, huh?" ”

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 Yu looked at him, originally wanted the other party to stay as his assistant, but he suddenly saw Hu Di's somewhat excited appearance, and seemed to understand something in his heart.

Then silently withdrew the words back into his stomach.

Fang Yu knew that it should have been the previous incident of the Kaolin Business Alliance that stimulated him.

However, he looked at the people who were suddenly busy, and his heart was slightly moved, this was his game, but everyone seemed to take this as their own business.

Speaking of which, he had only known Tianlan, Attila and Luo Yu for only a day.

Not to mention Hudi.

Fang Yu couldn't help but say, "Thank you. ”

Tianlan waved her hand disappreciatively: "Don't say that, this is also to teach that guy a lesson, I have long wanted to teach that bastard-"

Fang Yu rubbed his forehead, deeply impressed by this.
