Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 392: Everyone is spending money.

As soon as Bruno was confirmed as the President of the Array Formation Guild, the high-ranking officials of his country sent a Qi Cultivation Stage expert to protect him personally.

Although as a President appointed by a Great Expert, Bruno’s personal safety wouldn’t be an issue,

his country’s leaders needed to make their stance clear at this time, or they would regret it later.

Consider the current status of the Pill Medicine Guild; their institutes are elite class institutions in various countries.

Although the four major guilds will not interfere with the development affairs of nations and forces in the future, this world operates on personal relations. As long as you treat people well, although they may not show it openly, resources will inevitably tilt in your favor behind the scenes.

Thus, protecting Bruno was just the first step for his home country; they desired even more that Bruno would choose to establish the guild headquarters within their nation.

"President Bruno, as long as you favor any location in our country as suitable for the headquarters, we will provide it for free! Even if you wish to build the headquarters in the city center of a certain city, that can be arranged!"

This would be one of the headquarters for the four major professions, the future pilgrimage site for all Array Masters.

It would be a cultural landmark capable of boosting national tourism.

Moreover, once the headquarters site is confirmed, the Great Expert will bestow a Mountain Protection Array that can protect the sect from being attacked and destroyed.

This also means that the nation building the guild headquarters will also be spared from wars and clan conflicts.

And most importantly, the guild taxes are a major revenue for the nation!

Take a look at the Pill Association’s annual revenue, which just in this half of the year exceeded 5 trillion RMB.

It could bring at least 2 trillion in taxes annually to the Dragon Nation.

Of course, this money isn’t significant for the powerful Dragon Nation, but for the financially struggling nations of Europe, this tax revenue is a substantial sum!

In the current deficit scenario, no European nation could refuse such a lucrative industry.

"Let’s see how it goes." Bruno, of course, wouldn’t let sugar-coated schemes distract him.

Since he had decided to stay away from conflicts and operate independently, he was determined to move away from his own country.

This idea also stimulated enthusiasm across the Western nations.

Thus, within Bruno’s home country, the Western nations’ ambassadors approached Bruno right away, offering various superior conditions.

They not only offered land but also volunteered to construct the guild building based on the guild’s needs for free.

And they would offer a tax exemption on guild income for three to five years!

These ambassadors even presented their own national geographical satellite maps, allowing Bruno to see the complete view of their nations through sand table models on computers without needing to visit personally.

Bruno examined various maps sent by these nations every day while also forming a temporary team of volunteers to help him draft the guild’s statutes.

For this purpose, he specifically met with a group of capable and innovative individuals in Array Formation studies from all over the world and temporarily assigned them relevant duties, then dispatched them to various nations to perform preliminary registrations of apprentices.

A few days later, observing the global Array Masters’ curiosity about the professional Secret Technique, Bruno specifically posted a status update.

He said, "The main focus of the Secret Techniques in the Array Formation Guild is spiritual power, which leads to the two main Cultivation paths of Formation and Illusion Techniques."

"Formation is a spatial science, capable of creating defensive, offensive, and complex illusion-type formations."

"Illusion techniques are battle skills essential for survival among formation masters, allowing them to plunge an opponent’s Divine Sense into chaos, mentally kill, confuse, and other abilities, with high-level illusion techniques being able to harness the natural forces around to condense and summon elemental spirit beasts."

Once this secret technique concept was revealed, it left other Professional Masters drooling in envy.

Complaints came from both alchemists and artifact refiners.

"Wuuu, I will never again say that formation masters are useless—both of these major specializations are so fierce."

"Even fiercer than us alchemists, our secret technique just involves simple fire control."

"Don’t be modest, upper-floor alchemist. The professional core secret techniques granted by Great Experts are strong as well, different stages of fire can still incinerate a high-level cultivator. I heard from my teacher at the Pill Association headquarters, high-level alchemists can summon Flame Warriors to fight!"

The public release of Bruno’s secret techniques threw formation masters around the world into a frenzy.

They madly dedicated themselves to research and study, striving to pass the assessments and become officially registered apprentices.

Because only as official apprentices could they study the core secret techniques.

Once these secret techniques were made public, the way countries and major powers viewed those formation masters changed entirely.

Invisibly, the societal status of formation study and formation masters soared sharply.

Major institutions also increased their investments in formation studies and raised their tuition fees.

Yet, this didn’t stop middle-class families from gritting their teeth and sending their children to study formations.

Within Dragon Nation’s Huaqing University, the ever-increasing number of students in the Array Formation Department made students from the Artifact Refining Institute very envious.

They stood outside the iron fence, ogling the beautiful female students coming to register, their eyes almost popping out.

They lamented, "Why didn’t I think this major involving physical labor when choosing Artifact Refining? It turns out, girls don’t want to lift hammers, huh, the Artifact Refining Institute really is dominated by males."

The only female artifact refiner nearby looked disdainfully at the group of women from the Array Institute and scoffed, "All flash and no substance, none of them are a match for me."

As soon as she spoke, nearby senior students from her own department turned their gaze toward her.

Seeing the female student’s robust arms thicker than those of an ordinary man, they all felt tired of their choice and turned their heads away, fiercely looking back at these new female students from another department, afraid that once they entered the Artifact Refining Institute, they might never see them again.

"Everyone just standing there watching! If you’re free, go and work the forge! Right now, all artifact refiners worldwide have the chance to stand out and become the Guild President, it’s your one and only chance to skyrocket to success."

"Our neighboring Alchemy Institute has even increased their budget and started various experiments."

A passing instructor yelled at these lackadaisical students, "There are so many weapon demands on the global wanted list, with each price being set higher than the last. Forge them then! The alchemy market can now produce materials for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators to use in forging weapons, yet not a single one of you has forged a precious weapon for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators?"

The group of students in the Artifact Refining Institute hurriedly went back in shame.

The Artifact Institute’s instructor’s friend chuckled bitterly, "Your temper has been getting worse."

The instructor from the Artifact Institute sighed, "How can I not be anxious when they can’t even produce a single ’precious’ level magic artifact for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators to use? The arena is so hot right now; Qi Cultivation Stage is a slaughterhouse. Whoever owns a lowest grade ’precious’ level magic artifact can use Object Manipulation Flight and have an absolute combat advantage. The market price has gone up to tens of millions—that’s all money! How could I not be anxious? Every day in meetings, the principal criticizes us, saying we’ve wasted billions without any returns yet, squandering so many material resources."

His friend replied, "Your worrying is useless, right now all major institutions worldwide are running their artifact refining projects at a loss. It’s just a matter of which institution can produce the first magic artifact and grasp the essence of forging, turning all their previous investments from losses into profits!"
