Carlos's voice carried a hint of regret, but he immediately perked up again, "However, in the Innovation Competition, your 'Dragon Power Potion' and 'Limb Regeneration Potion' won first and second place respectively! The judges gave extremely high praise to the potions' efficacy and innovation, especially the 'Limb Regeneration Potion,' which was considered to be of epoch-making significance! I've already collected the prizes and certificates of honor for you."

Carlos paused, his tone turning serious: "Now that the previous tournament is over, according to procedure, the Alliance's Supreme Council will reconvene soon, with the focus on electing the chairman of the Cataclysm Response Committee. Li Ang, when can you return to Chalk City? Your performance and achievements, along with these two major awards, are our most important bargaining chips. We need your presence."

"I understand." Li Ang thought for a moment. "It will take some time to clean up the mess at Obsidian Tower. I will set off back as soon as possible, and I should be able to arrive in about two or three days."

After ending the call with Carlos, Leon saw that Rex had also ended the call and removed the soundproof barrier, his face showing a mixture of anger and heaviness.

He strode back to Li Ang, took a deep breath, and said, "The Alliance's decision to provide support has finally been made—but unfortunately, it's too late." He shook his head with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "If it weren't for you all this time, by the time the Alliance's support arrived, they would only have seen the ruins of Obsidian City."

Leon nodded, then carefully began, "Lord Rex, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

"Please tell me, as long as Obsidian Tower can do it, we will not refuse," Rex replied solemnly immediately.

"I would like to order a batch of Rock Type III Golden Guardian Puppets from your tower. These puppets performed quite well in the battle just now," Li Ang said directly. "To prepare for future threats, I want to expand my puppet army. I wonder how much inventory your tower currently has?"

Upon hearing this, Rex's face flashed with regret: "Master Leon, to be honest—all the Rock III tanks in the tower's inventory were deployed in this siege, and—they were all destroyed. Currently, there isn't a single intact unit left in the tower."

Seeing the disappointment in Li Ang's eyes, Rex quickly added, "However, our tower brought twenty 'Rock III' units to this Alliance Expo as merchandise, and they should all be stored in the White Chalk City warehouse. If you need them, I can arrange to transfer all twenty to you at cost price, which is half price!"

After saying that, he seemed a little embarrassed to talk about selling himself in front of his savior, and his expression became somewhat awkward.

Li Ang waved his hand, his tone sincere: "Lord Rex, there's no need for that. I know all too well that the production of such a strategic-level puppet is extremely costly. Materials, manpower, and magic cores are all precious resources. Obsidian Tower has just experienced a great war and suffered heavy losses. Reconstruction and relief efforts require resources everywhere."

If this were a gift, it would further strain your already limited resources. A half-price discount is already a very generous and friendly offer, for which I am extremely grateful.

Upon hearing this, Rex breathed a sigh of relief, his gratitude deepening. "Thank you for your understanding!" Then, he suddenly realized something and looked at Leon in surprise. "You mean—the puppet you used is the Rock III?" But—

He recalled the terrifying combat power displayed by those dark gold golems on the battlefield, which far exceeded the level that ordinary Rock III should have!

To be able to enhance a puppet to such an extent requires a profound mastery of enchanting magic and puppetry—could this young elemental wizard also have such terrifying achievements in the enchanting school?

Rex was inwardly shocked, but he quickly suppressed the urge to ask further questions, as it would be extremely impolite to pry into his benefactor's secrets.

Leon simply nodded calmly, confirming Rex's guess, but offered no further explanation.

He then asked, "If production resumes, what would Obsidian Tower's current monthly output be?"

Rex composed himself and made a careful estimate: "If we mobilize all the wizards of the empowerment school in the tower, along with the skilled craftsmen in the city, and work at full capacity, barring unforeseen factors such as material shortages, we can probably produce about fifty units a month."

The cores and limbs of the puppets damaged in the previous battles might still be salvageable and repaired. Therefore, the final delivery quantity in the first month could potentially be a few more units.

"Fifty units—" Li Ang calculated in his mind. This output was not high, but considering the complexity of the puppets, it was already quite an achievement. He nodded: "Lord Rex Tower, I would like to order a batch of puppets from your tower."

"No problem!" Rex readily agreed, then looked at Li Ang, waiting for him to suggest a payment method.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Ang turned to Professor Diana beside him, his tone unusually tinged with embarrassment: "Professor, how much balance do you have in your personal contribution points account? I'd like to borrow some."

Diana was examining the scrapes on Olivia's reluctant face when she heard this. She looked up, blinking her crimson eyes. "I personally have about 20,000 contribution points in my account. However," she reminded her, "Leita's contribution points cannot be used directly here. They need to be converted into universal contribution points through the Alliance's exchange system first."

Rex immediately chimed in, "Master Leon is a benefactor of our Obsidian Tower, and his trustworthiness is beyond question. How about this, we'll begin production on our side immediately, and you can settle the contribution points later when it's convenient for you, or you can offset them with other equivalent resources or materials." Leon knew that this was a gesture of utmost sincerity and trust from him.

Ultimately, both parties agreed that Li Ang would reserve the Obsidian Tower's Rock Type III Puppet at a price of 5,000 Alliance Universal Contribution Points per unit, with the first batch of fifty units to be delivered as soon as possible, and details of subsequent orders to be discussed later.

Upon learning that Leon and his party were about to depart for Chalk Tower, Rex immediately said, "I also need to go to Chalk City. On the one hand, I need to personally report the situation to the Alliance's Supreme Council, and on the other hand, I need to handle the formalities for Master Leon's puppet handover. I wonder—would it be possible for me to take a ride from your Floating Workshop?"

Li Ang readily agreed to such a trivial matter. Rex quickly returned to the tower and arranged post-battle emergency response, wounded treatment, and city defense repairs with great speed. He also appointed Deputy Tower Master Rudius to be in charge of puppet production during his absence. Afterward, he took two assistants and boarded Li Ang's floating workshop.

On the way back, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than on the way there, but the group was not completely at ease. The fierce battles, the brushes with death, and especially the higher level of experience they had gained through the [Cooperation Ring], were like opening a door to a higher level for Maya, Helena, Ludick, and Olivia.
