That day, Mo Yuan was in his office at Anti-Entropy Tower, reviewing the progress report Xu Xiaoyan had submitted on their cooperation with the Tang Sect.
The report covered three areas: sharing soul tool technology, supplying rare metals, and joint research and development projects. These were the areas where the Tang Sect had something worthwhile to offer, so they were also the focus of its cooperation with Anti-Entropy.
He turned to the last page, jotted down several proposed adjustments beside the signature field, and prepared to send it down for implementation.
But before he could do anything, Amber's voice came through the speaker. "Alliance Leader, the Spirit Pagoda has just issued an announcement stating that Soul Spirit prices and Soul Ascension Platform admission prices at every branch across the Federation will increase by three hundred percent. The announcement cites 'a sharp rise in operating costs caused by changes in the business environment' as the reason."
"Oh? The Spirit Pagoda really went for that trick?"
Mo Yuan laughed on the spot.
He put down his pen and leaned casually against the back of his chair. "When did they release it?"
"Ten minutes ago. They also released a supplementary statement at the same time, saying that the Spirit Pagoda is actively communicating with all parties and working to lower prices as soon as possible."
"Is there a recording? Let me see it."
"Yes, Alliance Leader. Of course there is."
As Amber spoke, she immediately brought up a screen of light.
In the press conference hall on the first floor of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Qiangu Dongfeng stood behind the podium.
More than thirty reporters sat below him. Soul tool cameras hovered on both sides of the aisles, their shutters firing in a rapid burst as he took the stage before falling silent.
