As it turned out, Jia Sha's worries were entirely unfounded.
What Xu Yi hoped to obtain from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom was not only well within their means to provide, but even... so simple that President Jia Sha wondered whether he had misheard.
All Xu Yi wanted from the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom was some of the mineral and magical material resources the Xinfei Merchant Guild needed.

To ensure that the Xinfei Merchant Guild could successfully establish itself and develop in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, over five thousand kilometers away, it even planned to invest in a small steelworks in addition to a cement processing plant, helping the country establish a rudimentary magic industry framework.
