Li Yao’s partner of choice is Sea and Sky, a person who commands a formidable guild, capable of controlling the mines. What’s crucial is his sterling character. Even though the minerals mined can only belong to them after being loaded onto the mining carts and deducted, it’s always a better option to choose a reliable partner.

Moreover, Li Yao isn’t content with just a thirty percent profit share.

“Brother Starfire, why did you think of contacting me? Have you thought it through? Are you planning to join our Brilliant Guild? Don’t worry, I can’t guarantee other things, but assure once you’re in the team, I’ll give you a place in our main force. You can even form a new team if you’d like. I’ll also sort out your athlete-status.”

The private chat connected over voice before Li Yao could even speak, Sea and Sky started rattling off nonstop.

“Cough.” Li Yao interjected Sea and Sky’s tirade, saying: “Could I get a word in?”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“First, I don’t plan on joining any team for now.” Li Yao first clarified his stance, subtly implying that he had no plans of joining any team. “Secondly, I wanted to discuss a proposition from a friend who wants to collaborate on a big project. Would you be interested?”

“Collaborate, what kind of collaboration?” Sea and Sky sounded slightly disappointed. He didn’t see any benefits associated with partnering with an independent player, however, he calmly asked.

“I have a friend, his gamer name is Prairie Fire. Do you know him?” Li Yao inquired.

“Of course, I do. I was watching his live stream just now. Laugh as you may brother, our Brilliant Guild has several teams scrambling on the second platform. Like you, he, too is a legendary Hunter, not acknowledging him is not an option for me. Are you planning to introduce your friend to our team? Rest assured, with Prairie Fire’s skills, the benefits I can guarantee you…”

“Stop, stop. Not about the team. As you might know, there was a dispute between him and the Wanderer Studio over a boss. He secured a mining deed and is looking for a guild to partner with. I think Brilliant Guild could be a good fit, so I recommended you guys. Are you interested?”

After some hesitation, Sea and Sky speaks, “I am just going to be honest with you, anyone can enter this cave, we have quite a few miners laboring away inside, there are no restrictions, I am not quite sure what’s the benefit to this collaboration.”

“There’s a benefit, of course. Currently, when it comes to the mine, you can only use a single mining cart, but you are not aware that there are mechanical miners inside. Considering the amount your miners can collect in a day, it’s probably not even enough to cultivate a decent blacksmith. But if these machines are used — the efficiency and yield – well, I don’t need to spell it out for you, don’t you think?” Li Yao enticed.

“So, what are your friend’s terms? How do we split the profit?” Sea and Sky was interested; the output from a mine was too tempting to ignore.

Moreover, as Li Yao pointed out, no one anticipated the emergence of a safe mine, so the guild didn’t gather many miners. The amount of ore collected in a day was insufficient.

Apart from what the leveling players collected from the wild, there weren’t enough ores even for a blacksmith to train with. But if they were able to collect ores in abundance, it could be an excellent solution for the guild’s early financial shortfall. It would let Brilliant Guild take the lead.

“My friend logged off after a day of raids, and needs rest. But the electronic contract is ready. You take a look and if you agree, sign, and if you don’t, it’s okay. I am just a messenger.” Li Yao sent over an electronic contract.

In simple terms, Li Yao was responsible for providing the mine and repairing the mining machinery, authorizing Brilliant Guild to manage the mine. From the output, Brilliant Guild would have to pay Prairie Fire forty percent of the ore, apart from the thirty percent due to the mine owner. In actuality, Li Yao would own seventy percent and Brilliant Guild holds onto thirty percent.

“Your friend is quite shrewd. The Brilliant Guild is providing the labor and resources, and we only get thirty percent. Isn’t that a bit too low?” Sea and Sky Li Yao chuckled, “It’s up to you to decide how much is enough. I am just a messenger, and he doesn’t haggle the prices. If you’re unsatisfied, let it go. You’re both my friends and I don’t want to get in the middle. However, there are plenty of workforce sources available, but mines under a player’s control? There’s only one.”

“So, you’re not commenting on this?” Sea and Sky laughed wryly, effectively silencing him – straight to the point. Yes, while it might seem that the Brilliant Guild is getting the raw end of the deal with only thirty percent, there’s no other choice. There are many other guilds ready to collaborate. Gold coins, miners, blacksmiths; a single mine can solve these three problems.

Considering this, he didn’t brood about it for too long, “Alright, I’ll sign.”

“Great. He’s currently offline resting. We can catch up when he has time.” Li Yao was thrilled, feeling assured that he wouldn’t need to worry about gold coins for a while.

“Sounds good. Let’s drink to this next time.” Sea and Sky returned the now signed electronic contract.

Only after confirming it did Li Yao say: “My friend has managed to acquire a lot of level 10 equipment. I’ve specifically gotten these for the Brilliant Guild. Give me a price that won’t make my friend feel cheated.”

“Thank you, brother, for remembering your older brother for any good fortune.

I won’t forget your favor. As for price, we promise to not give you a hard time.” Sea and Sky was once again pleasantly surprised. The opportunity of buying level 10 green-blue gear meant instant power-up once they reach level 10.

There are too many people in the guild, no amount of equipment is too much.

After ending the private voice chat, Li Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Following that, he looked at the energy control area, nodding in satisfaction. In actuality, the mining machinery wasn’t broken, but merely cut from power. All he needed to do was restore the power to get it working again.

Li Yao deliberated and decided to arm himself before embarking on an elite mission. From what Doll and Qin Feng Yi had mentioned, Li Yao inferred that the two of them had already started, albeit unknowingly. Being a reborn player himself, he naturally couldn’t fall behind.

Li Yao fetched a pair of arm-gears from his backpack, admired them for a while before equipping them. Like the Eyes of the Creator, this was also a piece of gear that integrates into the skin upon being equipped, not taking up an inventory slot. It’s a top-tier auxiliary gear.
