Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 398: The Key to Disrupting Ecological Balance

Chapter 398: 398: The Key to Disrupting Ecological Balance

Bruno’s first official duty as President of the Array Formation Guild was to launch a tour to visit countries around the world.

He needed to personally visit each country to find members with outstanding formation abilities to serve as chairpersons of the various national branches.

His first stop was the Dragon Nation.

He had to pay a visit to his mentor first.

However, Gu Feng was very busy and hard to meet.

It was rare for a student to be so enlightened and to visit his mentor as soon as possible, so Lin Yue had to meet this student on behalf of Gu Feng.

Bruno performed the kowtowing ceremony on Lin Yue according to the sect’s etiquette.

Afterward, he had a meal with the Pill Association’s President Roger and Zhao Rui before heading off to other countries.

In other countries, Bruno had become a distinguished guest, where representatives personally received him with high standards.

He carried a scepter that never left his side, which always became a topic of conversation wherever he went.

After all, it was the first Magical Treasure on Earth and was also a Spiritual Artifact.

When Bruno arrived in Eagle, the head of Harvard Refining Institute applied to the White House, asking if they could inspect Bruno’s scepter so the students could gain some inspiration when crafting precious treasures.

No sooner had the request been made than the White House representative was taken aback.

"Are you trying to get me killed?" The representative’s eyelid twitched, "Have you forgotten what the Great Expert said? The scepter symbolizes the guild and is the key to activating that formation. Did you even think before making such a request?"

The Artifact Refining Institute head was relentless, "Sir, currently no Refining Institute on Earth has crafted a precious treasure; we are already so close. If we could just craft one, we would make back our initial Investment many times over."

The White House representative ignored him, but the Artifact Refining Institute head quickly pestered him shamelessly, "Then think of a way to get us a few more Spirit Stones."

"Are you insane?"

The White House representative abruptly stopped and turned to glare at him, "Do you think Spirit Stones are just lying around everywhere? To get you five last time, our entire team of Innate soldiers had to grind in the Arena for how many points to exchange; as a result, all your repeated failures have cost us 50 million US Dollars just in Spirit Stones!"

Magical Treasures above the precious treasure level need to have Spirit Stones or energy injected to become functional Magical Treasures.

Therefore, it’s normal to use up Spirit Stones during research and experimentation.

But your chance of success increases the cost of consumption. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Especially in the early stages of exploration, any Artifact Refining Institute would need a large number of Spirit Stones to cover expenses.

This is also why all major Artifact Refining Institutes around the world are running at a loss.

Spirit Stones are impossible to buy on the open market; you have to grind for them in the Arena.

And it’s more efficient to have a team of Innate soldiers from a country do the grinding.

The Harvard Refining Institute head said, "If our institute produces an Artifact Refiner who can craft a precious treasure, do you think we will receive the heritage of the Artifact Refining Guild?"

These words left the White House host speechlessly silenced.

The Refining Institute head continued, "The Pill Association is in the East, the formation’s favor has now fallen on Europe; North America got nothing. With the support of the Array Formation Guild, the royal powers in Europe will inevitably step on us. While the Four Unions can’t intervene in the operations of the major powers, everyone knows where the guild president’s favor lies; it’s inevitable."

"Why do many wealthy people flock to the East? Because many of the Pill Association’s important resources are consumed internally, and many wealthy people can only have the chance to purchase some Elixir resources by entering circles in Shencheng City."

"If our institute produces the first Artifact Refiner to craft a precious treasure-level artifact, we will surely receive the descent of the Great Expert’s legacy, and then we’ll have a say in the global ecological chain!"

After calming his emotions, the White House host looked at the Artifact Refining Institute head and said, "I can help you apply to the bosses for Spirit Stones, but forget about seeing President Bruno’s scepter."

He warned the Harvard head, "Don’t be overconfident. With so many academies in Eagle, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket. If you don’t deliver, we’ll cancel additional Investments."

"Understood." The head nodded, "We will strive to craft one before any other institute."

The urgency in Harvard Refining Institute was also taking place in top colleges worldwide.

Since the emergence of the Pill Association and the Array Formation Guild, the other two major professions have been vying to become the inaugural president.

Especially in the Artifact Refining industry, where nearly a thousand martial artists around the world have reached the Qi Refinement Realm!

With so many people waiting for their own first weapon or Magical Treasure, you can imagine how great the market demand is.

According to the current purchase price demanded by Qi Refining Experts, it has reached over fifty million RMB.

If someone could forge a precious treasure-level Magical Treasure, not only would they become the president of the guild, but they would also be wholly satiated with wealth.

The request for precious treasure on the market only exists because no one can make them. If you can forge one, there will be a line of Qi Refining Experts willing to pay a higher price to have one crafted.

Just think about the demand from a thousand people; the baseline turnover alone exceeds 50 billion!

And that’s just the current Qi Refining Experts. There are over sixty thousand Innate Masters around the world, and any one of them could become a potential customer at any moment.

This is why colleges are willing to continue pouring money into it.

Throwing several billion into an Artifact Refining Institute every year, all for the sake of grabbing this larger market share and being the first to ’eat the crab.’"

Of course, Gu Feng didn’t have time to pay attention to these matters, but he set up a trigger mechanism.

As soon as someone forges the first precious treasure-level artifact, it would trigger the mechanism he had installed.

Then, the illusion he left behind would appear.

It remains to be seen which talented apprentice among the major powers and institutes worldwide could forge the first artifact to shift the balance of the Qi Refinement Realm’s combat ecosystem.

All the Qi Refining Experts from countries around the world are paying close attention to the news from the Artifact Refining professional circles.

Once a Magical Treasure appears, it will break the balance of combat in the Arena.

It’s a race to see who gets the treasure first and maintains an advantage in the Arena for as long as possible to garner more rewards.

The number one ranked martial artist on the Martial Artist channel even announced on media, "If anyone can forge the first precious treasure, find me, money is no object."

Now, the one who ranks first in the Arena can earn ten Low-grade Spirit Stones in rewards every day.

This is without counting the accrued points.

So, those experts who aren’t in the top 10 definitely covet that spot.

Everyone wants to squeeze into the top 10, even to be the champion and take the first place!
