The next morning.
Fang Hao had just gotten up when he heard Eira say that the skeleton merchant had already been waiting in the market.
Calculating the time in his mind, it wasn’t yet time for replenishing the market, so this visit must be about the Skeleton King’s recommendation.
If Fang Hao wanted to sell his goods in the market, he needed to join a union called the Eye of Sky.
A necessary condition for joining was the recommendation of a veteran member.
The skeleton merchant, Ruer, knew of Fang Hao’s intentions to join the union and offered to recommend him to the ‘Skeleton King – Odys’, to see if he could gain the approval of the undead king.
After all, Fang Hao was one of the few new territories developing within the undead ranks.
The Skeleton King had a high chance of supporting newcomers from his own camp.
Quite some days had passed; today would likely be about this issue.
Whether it could be done or not, the answer would soon be known.
Upon arriving in the market area.
The skeleton merchant was still patiently waiting, sitting quietly on the side.
Undead were unaffected by time, and the passing years did not pose a threat to them.
Even if they sat quietly for an entire day, they wouldn’t feel like time was being wasted.
“Sir.”
Noticing Fang Hao approach, Ruer stood up and saluted.
“Good morning, Mr. Ruer,” Fang Hao greeted with a smile.
“Sir, I came because of the recommendation letter,” Ruer stated directly.
Just as I thought.
Fang Hao’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart couldn’t help but
race.
This recommendation was crucial to his next steps.
“Oh? What did Lord Odys say?” Fang Hao asked.
“Lord Odys agreed, but it’s not for free.” Ruer gripped his cane tighter.
“Just state your request, Mr. Ruer. If it’s feasible, I won’t be stingy.”
The fact that they could make demands was a good thing.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch, especially in this world. Help without any apparent reason was more worrying.
“After joining, 20% of the profits from your sales within the next two hundred years…
Upon hearing this, Fang Hao’s expression turned serious.
“Or 10,000 Warfire Coins.”
Fang Hao’s smile reappeared.
The undead perceived time differently from humans. To them, two hundred years was just an increase in numbers.
But for Fang Hao, his own existence in two hundred years was uncertain.
He didn’t know whether he would accept the transformation in the future, but for now, two hundred years was too long.
So long that he found it somewhat unbelievable upon hearing such a number. Compared to 20% of the profits for two hundred years, Fang Hao would rather accept the condition of 10,000 Warfire Coins, although this was a sky-high price for the average Lord.
But Fang Hao could still accept it. He could afford those ten thousand Warfire
Coins.
His ability to produce items with a hundredfold increase was like a gift for the market.
With very few resources, he could mass-produce items and sell them rapidly at a similar price, competing with veteran companies for the market.
Therefore, it was crucial to join the Trade Alliance and have links with other forces.
Similarly, Odys’ demand for twenty percent of the profits for two hundred years had a direct impact on his plan.
It was better to make a one-time payment and buy out straightforwardly.
“Is there room for negotiation?” Fang Hao asked.
“Lord Odys set these terms personally.”
The meaning was clear; there was no room for negotiation.
“If we do agree on this, when can I join the Eye of Sky?”
“We could proceed today. The recommendation letter is merely a formality, not a real letter. I will guide you through some procedures at the time.” Ruer expounded.
Fang Hao nodded, then called a rabbit maid from afar, “Tell Eira to bring over ten thousand Warfire Coins.”
“Yes, Master.” The rabbit maid ran off.
Soon after, Eira came over with two skeletons. They were holding a money box that was filled with glittering coins.
“Mr. Ruer, please count it.”
Seeing the money box filled with Warfire Coins, the soul fire in Ruer’s eyes flickered slightly.
Although 10,000 Warfire Coins wouldn’t be much for a veteran force.
Fang Hao’s market had just been built less than a month ago.
Being able to pull out this much money effortlessly was beyond Ruer’s expectations.
“No need, so when are you planning to embark, sir? Joining the United Trade Company involves a process, and the sooner, the better.” Ruer continued to say. “What is the process? So that I can have an idea.” Fang Hao asked further.
“I brought a teleportation scroll to the Eye of Sky station. It can teleport up to three people. You can register after reaching the station. This process is relatively simple, and seldom is anyone rejected.” Ruer patiently explained. Fang Hao thought for a while then said, “Mr. Ruer, let me prepare. We will set off in twenty minutes.”
“Alright!”
Twenty minutes later.
After finishing breakfast, Fang Hao, accompanied by Anjia, came over.
The heroes in his territory all had different duties.
Fireblade was arranged to guard the east side of the city. He watched the east while also being able to rush to the Manim Market in case of an emergency. Nelson was in locked-in creation mode at the Viscera Museum, crafting a skeleton hero.
Only Blood Hunter and Anjia remained in the territory.
Anjia did not have the personality to guard a city, so Fang Hao kept her by his side, acting as a bodyguard.
Lately, Anjia seemed to have changed her disposition. She wasn’t as wild as before. The day before yesterday, Fang Hao heard from Nelson that Anjia sought him out to play chess and lost several games.
If not for the intimidating presence of old man Nelson, Anjia might have smashed the chessboard.
However, this showed Anjia’s change as she was gradually changing herself.
“Mr. Ruer, we can depart now.”
“Alright!”
Without delaying, Ruer pulled out a scroll and opened it directly.
A light blue curtain appeared in front of Fang Hao.
Fang Hao had seen such a curtain before.
In the second compulsory mission ‘Nature’s Revenge’, the nature guardian had also appeared through a similar curtain, attacking various territories.
This curtain could be likened to a teleportation door. Once inside, one would be transported out.
“After you, Sirs.” The Ruer took the lead and entered the curtain.
While Fang Hao and Anjia followed him into the curtain.
Feeling disoriented, when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in an unknown place.
Looking down from here, there was a flat stone road lined with lush flower beds.
There weren’t many people on the street, it was rather quiet.
Similar to modern street lamps installed on both sides of the road, Nightstones were placed on their tops.
If it weren’t for the different races walking on the streets and the lack of plastic billboards,
Fang Hao would have thought that Ruer had directly teleported him back to Earth.
“Welcome to the Eye of Sky Alliance’s 032 Station.” Noticing their curious gazes, Ruer continued, “Sir, the Eye of Sky Alliance only operates in the morning. Once the paperwork has been completed, you are free to explore the area and even stay the night.”
“Okay, let’s deal with the formalities first,” Fang Hao said.
Ruer nodded, leading them towards the central building in front..
