Bright City, Royal Magic Academy,
Lis continued to undergo Mr. Stephens's special training. Almost ten days had passed since he first started the reforge and coordination of his Extraordinary Domain.
The Feis Kingdom had also sent news that there was still some time needed to prepare for Lis's Duke promotion ceremony. His Majesty the King intended to wait for the first batch of people who had earned their titles through their accomplishments in the war with Boditch Kingdom, to hold a grand celebratory ceremony together.
Lis had no objections; after all, he had many things to prepare in Bright City and was not in a hurry at the moment.
With the ongoing special training, Lis's control over his Extraordinary Domain was gradually deepening, and he was getting more accustomed to the pressure of facing his teacher's Legendary Domain.
However, under the control of Judgement Flame, Lis was still utterly exhausted after each session, weary to the bone.
Every time Mr. Stephens would send Lis to Risa's bedroom, where Risa, ever enthusiastic, helped Lis wipe his body and change his sweat-drenched clothes.
Although Risa had begun to adapt to their private interaction, no longer as shy as she was at the start and would occasionally respond to Lis proactively.
But in front of others, Risa was still shy, especially when she went to collect clean clothes from the maid Rossi. She would flee at the sight of Rossi's meaningful gaze, too embarrassed to meet her eyes.
Naturally, Lis had no objections to Mr. Stephens's arrangements; he even enjoyed it.
It was like a benefit following each strenuous training session.
After returning to Bright City, besides staying at his own estate and the Royal Magic Academy, Lis also visited some acquaintances.
Including Mora and Bernie, his two close friends.
The development of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce was going quite well; with the support of Lis and the Nobles, it had already started to spread to other regions of the Feis Kingdom.
Everything was proceeding according to the plan Lis had laid out when he left last year, primarily starting in the important cities of the Feis Kingdom to establish a network while aggressively recruiting players.
Owing to the generous benefits of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, which did not restrict players from joining other factions, and having Lis, a character with great popularity among players, recruitment progressed smoothly.
Especially after the [Battle of Luminous Stone City], many videos and posts about Lis surfaced on player forums, particularly the videos of the player group Lonely for Drunkenness, which instantly topped the forum's hot search list for the day.
Defeating the King, overcoming the Great Mage Wendell, and that gleaming Golden Treasure Sword in the Exchange Shop all captivated the players' attention.
This greatly increased Lis's fame once again, not only among players in the Feis Kingdom but also across other regions of the Fanor Continent.
Particularly at the various White Dove outposts, more and more players started to join voluntarily after that event, even some who came specifically from other places.
Not long ago, the number of players in the White Dove Chamber of Commerce had exceeded one hundred thousand.
The Experience Points they contributed to Lis every day were also gradually increasing. The cumulative amount was now quite substantial, and as players' ability to earn Experience Points increased with future game updates, the immense profits from "harvesting" would become increasingly apparent.
But Lis was not in a rush; he was still a long way from reaching Legend status and needed to slowly accumulate his foundation.
After catching up with Mora, Lis also shared with his good friend his plans to build his main base at Danerluo Port, and that would involve moving the headquarters of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce there.
Upon hearing this, Mora was overjoyed.
It was a joke, in Bright City, the White Dove was still a younger brother, not yet fully grown.
While many Nobles and Guilds would accommodate the White Dove out of respect for Lis, the prospects for growth were limited.
The situation on Lis's territory would be different: his words would be law there, and the White Dove would be akin to the Feis Guild's status in the Feis Kingdom.
Such an opportunity was not to be missed!
Lis naturally guessed his good friend's choice; indeed, he would not pass up such an opportunity.
So he told Mora to start making some preparations, including the essential supplies, and most importantly, to guide players to follow Lis to Danerluo Port.
Jokingly, workers like these, who also served as premium quality "crops", Lis had no intention of letting go!
Whether it was controlling the Treasure Pearl Sea or the future reconstruction of Azela Floating City, Lis needed a great number of people.
Beyond the experts, he needed this quality workforce of players!
However, for some reason, watching Helen and Ashley playfully frolicking in the garden, Lis felt as if he had forgotten something?
Lis rubbed his head, wondering,
Who have I forgotten?
After another round of Mr. Stephens's special training, Lis lay weakly on the cold ground.
This time, however, he was not as exhausted as before; at least his consciousness remained clear.
Seeing Lis , Stephens did not take Lis back to the estate but casually left.
What has the teacher been so busy with lately?
Lis lay on the ground, not wanting to move even a finger, feeling the soreness and numbness all over his body.
Lately, under the teacher's special training, Lis's mastery of the Extraordinary Domain had been greatly accelerated.
