Chapter 2852: Mutual Assistance and Information Magic Artifacts

Xia Duo noticed A Wa Lusi's tone softening, so he proposed, "Previously, when I was conversing with Lamani, Grien, and the others, they mentioned that you are currently demanding compensation from the Seven Towers, though they did not elaborate on the specific situation."

"If Councilor A Wa Lusi does not mind, you could tell me about it in detail. As long as the request is reasonable, I am also happy to help you pressure the Seven Towers."

The implication, of course, was—I help you, and you must also help me; at the very least, you cannot oppose the distribution plan I have proposed.

Before Xia Duo came to see A Wa Lusi, he had received a promise from Badijiaer that the Seven Towers could make concessions to A Wa Lusi and his group; however, Xia Duo did not want his role to become that of a lobbyist, so bringing it up afterward would make it seem more significant.

This sincere expression from Xia Duo naturally moved A Wa Lusi, but one knows one's own affairs best; how could he possibly make things difficult for Xia Duo with such a problem at this moment!

Especially since Xia Duo had just clearly stated that public and private matters should be kept separate, and that the compensation must be reasonable; they themselves knew that their compensation demands were somewhat excessive.

Consequently, A Wa Lusi hurriedly said:

"I thank Councilor Xia Duo for your sense of justice, but this is a matter between us and the Seven Towers. We can handle it ourselves and will not let it delay official business."

With this promise from A Wa Lusi, the purpose of Xia Duo's trip had been achieved, but he did not leave immediately; instead, he asked the other party to do him a small favor—

"I wonder if Councilor A Wa Lusi has heard of the Tower of Time's Third Generation Communication Artifact?"

"I have heard of it, and I am actually using one myself right now."

As he spoke, A Wa Lusi actually took out something that, at least in appearance, looked like a Tower of Time Third Generation Communication Artifact on the spot, and then, while using it, said to Xia Duo:

"Councilor Xia Duo, let us exchange contact information. Although the previous Communication Artifact is still kept, it is basically no longer in use. From now on, you can contact me directly using the new Twin Mark."

"Very well."

Xia Duo did not refuse. Now that the other party was taking the initiative to show goodwill and seek a closer relationship, if he were to refuse, wouldn't that be equivalent to falling out on the spot?

In fact, the two had already exchanged contact information previously, also using a Twin Mark that could perfectly adapt to Magic Net Background Communication. Exchanging contact information again now meant saving it within the Mythallar.

"Since Councilor A Wa Lusi is also using the Tower of Time's Third Generation Communication Artifact, that is even better, as it saves me from having to explain further. The small favor I would like to ask of you concerns the Information Function of the Communication Artifact."

"I intend to open a Pioneer Column within the Information Function, aimed at solving various problems encountered by Pioneers during the pioneering process. The many lords of the Tianshui Three Planes will soon be re-pioneering territories in the Main Plane, so this will provide some experience. Of course, since the environment of the Main Plane differs from the Tianshui Three Planes, I will also provide some Main Plane pioneering experience for the lords of the Tianshui Three Planes to reference."

"No problem, this is a great benefit for everyone. I will mention it to the lords I know," A Wa Lusi immediately agreed.

"But as far as I know, the information section of the Tower of Time's Communication Artifact currently does not have any information from outside the Tower of Time, and on our own Communication Artifacts, we cannot find any options to operate it."

"That is not a problem. Later, I will provide you with a new Magic Artifact for uploading information content, which can be used for the entry and editing of the Pioneer Column."

Niya was already working on the Information Magic Artifact, but it would still take some time. Xia Duo could not state the specific time and could only say "later."

"This—" Upon hearing this, A Wa Lusi immediately revealed an expression of delight, "Since there is such a Magic Artifact, is it possible not to restrict the content and location of the information entry?"

"At present, it is not possible. This is, of course, not to restrict the information publishers, but due to the current manifestation of the Mythallar. If Councilor A Wa Lusi has other information upload needs, you can contact the Tower of Time at any time. Even if we upload less ourselves, we will prioritize uploading the information you provide."

This statement naturally had both truth and falsehood. The true part was that the current Mythallar indeed did not support operations similar to forums or microblogs, but the false part was that there were no restrictions on the Tower of Time uploading information, at least not in terms of quantity.

But if he did not say it this way, how would others know the value of the information (advertising) slots!

Besides the column related to Pioneers, Xia Duo also planned to create an Encyclopedia Column, which was actually the prototype for a simple online Library, with the goal, of course, of increasing user stickiness.

It was just that, for now, the Mythallar could not yet open user-editing functions and could only be perfected bit by bit by the Tower of Time, which was quite a significant project.

……

After parting ways with A Wa Lusi, Xia Duo waited for a period of time and then successively met with the remaining councilors of the Tianshui Three Planes he had not yet seen. Besides asking about their attitude toward the Mithril Mine incident, he also asked them to help perfect the Pioneer Column in the Mythallar information section.

After meeting everyone and returning to the Arcane Union, Xia Duo felt completely exhausted, mainly mentally, but the results were also very gratifying.

Perhaps because A Wa Lusi had tipped them off in advance, all the councilors of the Tianshui Three Planes clearly stated they would not oppose Xia Duo's distribution plan, and many even explicitly proposed that they would support it.

Of course, during this process, Xia Duo inevitably revealed the Tower of Time's Arcane String production plan. For those councilors who explicitly proposed support, their reserved Arcane Strings might be delivered a little earlier.

And for those who did not oppose it, their schedules would also be optimized; at the very least, there was now a clear delivery date.

Xia Duo had not thought of using this to manipulate others, but in a situation where the other party's attitude was relatively friendly, he naturally had to show something, and the only thing he could show now was accelerating the delivery progress of the Arcane Strings.

He couldn't exactly go and pressure the Seven Towers, after all.

……

That evening, good news also came from Badijiaer: Braun, Kelifu, Magena, and Saituo Kangsilialuo were all willing to support Xia Duo's plan.

Keluosi and Huo Ke, whom Xia Duo had originally thought might oppose it, also clearly stated under Badijiaer's persuasion that they would not oppose it, which was essentially an abstention.

That night, Xia Duo and Iolum tallied the votes again. This time, the vote count looked much better than the one during the day. A total of 38 councilors had clearly expressed support, which already exceeded the 34 required for a two-thirds majority.

And there were no opponents at all. Perhaps some were opposed in their hearts, but as long as it was not expressed in the vote, it could be considered non-existent. As for the remaining 13 councilors, they were all abstentions.

The vote count during the formal vote at tomorrow's extraordinary meeting might still change slightly, but barring any accidents, there should be no suspense about it passing.

The biggest variable still lay with those from the Tianshui Three Planes; as long as those people did not cause any trouble, there would be no surprises.
