Chapter 127 Acquiring Supplies and the Approaching Storm

Old Mori's tone was filled with undisguised satisfaction and pride.

"I've heard about it all. Good lad, you've really brought honor to our Potions School. Silver Cauldron Champion, Enforcement Team Captain, tsk tsk—"

Li Ang was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm and smiled modestly: "Wizard Mori, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

"Hey, excessive modesty is just pride." Old Mori patted Leon's shoulder forcefully. "So, what do you need today? Just say the word."

Li Ang explained his purpose: "Wizard Mori, I'm here today mainly to procure some items for the team. I'm not very familiar with the supplies manager from the Elementalist School, so I came here instead. First, I need to order a nameplate for our First Special Operations Group. Second, I'd also like to purchase some furniture for the base."

Back in the Eighth Squad, Li Ang had always felt that the base was too simple and shabby, but as a team member at the time, he couldn't say much about it.

Now that I'm in charge, and both of my current teammates are of high status and neither of them are particularly hardworking or resilient.

Of course, most importantly, he himself wanted to be more comfortable, so he had to maintain both appearances and substance.

So he made a detailed list: a sturdy ironwood desk and a comfortable leather sofa for him, the captain.

A large table large enough for everyone to sit around and discuss, along with two matching long sofas, were provided for the team members.

A metal filing cabinet for storing future mission files and reports, and a small magic furnace with a matching kettle and tea set, since we can't always use crucibles to boil water for guests anymore.

Old Mori listened and took notes. After calculating, he smiled and said, "Captain Li Ang, whatever you need in the future, just come and get it. I'll give you priority. All these things together cost sixty silver coins."

The price surprised Li Ang slightly; he had expected it to be more expensive. It seemed that ordinary furniture was nothing compared to those magical potion-making tools and precision parts that required extremely high craftsmanship.

After once again marveling at how expensive the wizarding profession, especially the potion-making route, was, Li Ang readily made the advance payment.

"I'll arrange for someone to procure it right away. Come over at this time tomorrow, and I guarantee it will all be in place," Old Mori assured him, patting his chest.

After finishing these preparations, it was nearly noon. Li Ang went to the canteen for a quick lunch and then returned to his post to check on the progress of the cleaning.

When he returned to the Elementalist school's territory, he happened to encounter another group of weary wizards.

Although their robes differ in design from those of the Leli Tower and Obsidian Tower, the use of color to indicate rank is the same across the entire alliance.

They wore iris emblems on their chests, symbolizing knowledge and vision; it seemed the Iris Tower delegation had arrived.

This group was larger, with about thirty people, and was also led by a powerful black-robed wizard, followed by five blue-robed wizards and many brown-robed wizards.

Their expressions were solemn, clearly indicating that they had received the Alliance's summons to attack the Twilight Shadow Society.

The elites of the three towers gradually gathered at Riley Tower, and a sense of impending doom quietly permeated the tower.

Standing at the edge of the corridor, Li Ang watched the wizards of the Iris Tower depart, guided by a blue-robed wizard from the Elementalist school. He gained a clearer understanding of the impending storm.

He must quickly replenish the team members and make the First Special Operations Group combat-ready.

Upon arriving at the camp, Li Ang nodded in satisfaction after seeing the spotless and empty rooms.

The three attendants were very efficient, not only removing all the cobwebs and dust, but also cleaning up the corners and crevices. Now they are just waiting for the furniture from Old Mori's side to arrive tomorrow.

With the basic cleaning issues at the base resolved, the next crucial step was recruiting team members.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Ang decided to adopt the most direct and simple method.

He left the base and went straight to the public mission area on the first floor of the main tower.

This place is bustling with people and serves as a crucial hub for the three factions of apprentices to exchange tasks and obtain information.

The huge task board was still crowded with people. Li Ang stood at the back of the line and waited for his turn. He first submitted the task of copying the "Second-Level Spell Collection".

Then, he handed the parchment he had written on to the administrator and said, "Hello, I want to post a task."

The man mechanically took the parchment, glanced at its contents, and then asked for Li Ang's badge for confirmation.

After confirming that everything was correct, he casually stuck the parchment onto the board behind him.

The Enforcement Team's First Special Operations Group is now recruiting trainee wizards and above from all three factions to jointly carry out special and highly challenging missions.

Requirements: Excellent combat or support skills, a strong sense of responsibility, and obedience to commands.

Those interested should go to the Potions School dormitory area between 7 pm and 11 pm tonight and find Captain Li Ang for an interview.

After posting the recruitment information, Li Ang went straight to the training room application office. Since the team was about to be formed, a suitable training venue was essential.

The training room was managed by a kind-looking green-robed wizard. Li Ang explained his purpose and handed over his badge.

The other party inserted the badge into the groove on the side of the huge crystal plate in front of them, and Li Ang's portrait and identity information immediately appeared on the screen.

Leon Carlson, leader of the First Special Operations Group.

The green-robed wizard's face immediately lit up with realization and a hint of enthusiasm. He took the initiative to introduce himself, saying, "So you're Captain Li Ang. I've heard of you. Let me tell you about our training rooms. They come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. Small training rooms can accommodate 1 to 2 people at the same time. The eighth squad you were in used one of these. These don't require contribution points, and each squad can apply for one freely. Medium training rooms can accommodate 3 to 4 people and cost 100 contribution points per month. Large training rooms can accommodate 5 to 6 people and cost 200 contribution points per month."

As Li Ang was pondering whether to use the free small training room as a temporary measure or grit his teeth and rent a medium-sized one, he heard the green-robed wizard continue, "However, according to Deacon Seronster's instructions, as the captain of the First Special Operations Group, you can use the large training room for free."

This made Li Ang realize that the resource allocation he had mentioned earlier was reflected in these areas.

However, the manager just now, even though he knew he had free access to the large training room, still carefully explained the small and medium-sized rooms, probably to make him understand that these were resources allocated to him.

"So it's Captain Li Ang. I've heard of you. Let me introduce you. Our training rooms here are divided into three sizes: small, medium, and large. Small training rooms can accommodate 1 to 2 people at the same time. The eighth squad you were in used this type. This type doesn't require contribution points, and each squad can apply for it freely. Medium training rooms can accommodate 3 to 4 people and require a monthly usage fee of 100 contribution points. Large training rooms can accommodate 5 to 6 people and require a monthly usage fee of 200 contribution points."

Li Ang nodded and accepted the gift: "Then I'll trouble you to grant me access to the large training room."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The green-robed wizard manipulated a crystal plate and placed Li Ang's badge into a slot again.

A moment later, he handed the badge back to Li Ang.
