Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 503 - 248: Preparations Before Departure
"Glazed Light City?"
Wei Banmengโs cold eyes slightly flickered, unconsciously repeating this name with an unusual aesthetic.
His mind immediately reviewed the information he had glimpsed on Fang Qingyuโs phone earlier. ๐๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฃ๐ฏโด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ค๐๐
Location: Mid-west part of the Arctic Great Wall Defense Line, surrounded by massive natural barriers of icebergs, and one of the few frontline cities directly bordering the Frozen Edge Sea.
Power structure: Dominated by the "Jiang" Divine Cultist family, a long-standing and powerful force within the Federation.
The proportion of Divine Chosen is extremely high, far surpassing other strongholds, continuously recruiting and absorbing strong Martial Artists for reinforcement.
Life Ghosts over there produce a material called "Glazed Pearl."
Its value, one pearl is worth five of the same-tier Life Pearls!
City status: Deep red (recently, the defense line is under tremendous pressure, facing high-intensity, multi-wave attacks from Life Ghosts, urgently requiring a large amount of mid to high-tier combat support!)
Wei Banmeng pulled back his gaze from his memories, refocusing on Fang Qingyuโs face, carrying a hint of curious inquiry, "Why choose here?"
Chu Kuanglan scratched his head, "Yeah, Captain, that place sounds freezing cold and surrounded by icebergs, it sounds suffocating. How about going to that โIronforgeโ? The lava geothermal area! Just sounds exciting! Swinging hammers and forging iron is much more exhilarating!"
Lu Jiuyuan said nothing, but his gaze carried the same inquiry, clearly weighing options.
Fang Qingyu seemed to have anticipated their reactions, his melted gold-like eyes were calm and serene, his lips curling into a slightly analytic arc.
"There are a few reasons."
His voice was steady, with a clear structure, as if stating a combat plan.
"First, the pressure on the battle lines is significant." Fang Qingyu extended his first finger, "Deep red alert, urgently needing support. What does this mean? It means that once we arrive, weโll immediately be of use and can dive into combat right away! No need to worry about being idle or sent on insignificant patrol missions. What we want is real combat, forging ourselves under high pressure. The greater the pressure, the quicker the improvement."
Wei Banmeng nodded thoughtfully.
This point is indisputable.
"Second, the shortage of Martial Artists." Fang Qingyu extended his second finger, "The data clearly states they are continuously recruiting Martial Artists. What does this mean? It means that as Martial Artists, our arrival would be timely support! We are scarce resources! Itโs easier to gain attention, easier to receive core battle tasks, and easier to quickly establish ourselves and integrate into their defense system. Thereโs no worry about being sidelined."
Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan exchanged a look and also nodded slowly. This is definitely a substantial advantage.
"Third," Fang Qingyu extended his third finger, his gaze swept over the three, carrying a hint of โyou know it,โ "The Glazed Pearls! One pearl equals five Life Pearls! You know how precious this resource is. In Glazed Light City, as long as we are willing to exert ourselves and dare to fight, this top-tier resource will not be scarce! Cultivation speed will greatly accelerate! This is a substantial benefit."
Mentioning cultivation resources, the eyes of the three lit up.
Strength is the foundation, and the allure of Glazed Pearls is undeniable.
"Fourth," Fang Qingyu lowered his hand, his tone carrying a bit of relaxation, "The reputation of the Jiang Family. Iโve checked, among all the forces leading the frontline, the Jiang Family has a good reputation for treating โexternal aidโ. Although internally they are hierarchical and divine authority is supreme, externally they are relatively fair, clear in rewards and penalties, and seldom have incidents of embezzlement of military merits or suppression of outsiders. When we go there, at least we donโt have to worry about being backstabbed by our own or having our contributions stolen."
Then he paused, concluding, "High pressure, battles to fight, receiving attention, abundant resources, reliable leaders. Overall, Glazed Light City is our best choice at present."
This analysis was well-founded, clearly laying out the advantages of Glazed Light City to the three.
Wei Banmengโs lingering doubts completely dissipated, even showing a hint of approving agreement on her cold face, "Your analysis is very thorough, I have no objections, this is indeed a very good choice."
"Haha, battles to fight, resources to gain, the leading family is not black-hearted, what are we waiting for? Itโs settled!"
Chu Kuanglan grinned broadly and slapped his leg.
Lu Jiuyuan was concise, "Agreed."
Fang Qingyu looked at the three who were convinced, feeling a slight relief.
The reasons he gave were all true, and Glazed Light City indeed possessed these tangible advantages.
But the real driving forces behind his choice were actually two other core reasons.
The first was a message from Hong Qitian after he learned they were heading to the Arctic.
He suggested they go to Glazed Light City.
Though he didnโt provide a reason, his words were not to be ignored.
He wouldnโt harm him.
Fang Qingyu was quite sure about this point.
The second reason... naturally was the Life Ghosts there.
As a rare city bordering the sea, the variety of Life Ghosts in the sea is endless.
For Fang Qingyu, this is a moving Skill Points treasury.
At present, many Life Ghost Atlases are just missing one or two, which, as it sounds, are those sea Life Ghosts.
If luck doesnโt fail this time.
At least a few more Life Ghost Atlases could be completed.
Of course, the several reasons Fang Qingyu initially mentioned to everyone were also truthful.
Those benefits are substantial for everyone.
"Good."
Fang Qingyu put away his phone, his gaze sweeping over the three, "Since there are no objections, the target is set - Glazed Light City."
