Chapter 36: The Formidable Furnace Battle Formation-Você me pediu para fazer um empréstimo para cultivar? Eu elimino a dívida fisicamente!(Quando a caneta toca o papel, a melodia das nuvens surge.)

Those professionals who did not hear the telepathic message reacted with varying degrees of speed. Even if they followed the actions of those loyalists, there was inevitably a slight delay. Of course, you only wanted to see how effective your speech was. However, for those professionals who offered their loyalty—willing to follow you and trust you—the rewards you provide in return will be different. As the saying goes, the glory of advancing on the path of the transcendent is not something you will enjoy alone. Especially after learning from the Principal about the new "Furnace Battle Formation" recently produced by the Federal Research Institute, you became even more focused on pooling the strength of your subordinates.

The Furnace Battle Formation originates from the Fifth Research Institute of the Federal Research Institute. Its primary function is to form a massive furnace apparition in the sky, concentrating the power of all members in the formation into the formation's core. As long as the number of people is sufficient, it is entirely possible for a Second-Rank squad to battle against Third-Rank or even Fourth-Rank professionals. Of course, if the level gap is too great—to the point where the combined power of the Second-Rank professionals cannot break the enemy's defenses—then the Furnace Battle Formation becomes meaningless.

Nevertheless, you were very eager to acquire this new formation. If the Red Heart Squad could master it, their overall explosive power would be significantly enhanced. With the Red Heart Association acting as a numerical backbone, the Red Heart Squad might well rival a standard battle group. The Principal noticed your strong interest in the formation and mentioned that he had some connections at the Fifth Research Institute. However, the Institute sells the control hubs for these formations primarily to raise research funds for further development. Therefore, even with connections, you would still need to pay a substantial amount of capital. You were indifferent to this; after all, you currently possess a large amount of funds, and there should be no issues for the time being. But before agreeing to help you, the Principal wanted to see the catalyst for the formal establishment of the Red Heart Battle Group.

The current Red Heart Squad has only eight hundred members. For a squad, this is an unimaginably large number, but for a standard-sized battle group, eight hundred is still a bit low. A battle group earns its title not only through its formidable strength but also through the comprehensive influence represented by its numbers. On this matter, you gave the Principal your word: before graduation, you would certainly meet his expectations for the number of members in the battle group.

After all, you have relied on the development of Cloud City University No. 1 and have been under the protection of its Principal. Therefore, during your time at school, your methods of development were very formal, and one could say quite restrained. But with graduation imminent, you could finally put some unconventional—or perhaps, federal law-bending—plans on the schedule. Most importantly, the Principal’s requirements and your future objectives happened to align.

Upon returning, you began making arrangements, bringing those professionals who had pledged their loyalty into the ranks of the Red Heart Squad. In just a few days, the Red Heart Squad expanded rapidly, boasting nearly two thousand professionals. With this expansion, internal positions were adjusted. Comprehensive evaluations were conducted based on join dates, merits, and contributions to the squad. Veteran members were promoted to squad leaders, and those squad leaders who had distinguished themselves were promoted to company commanders.

As the headcount increased several times over, the internal hierarchy expanded accordingly. Under Lin Xue’s arrangement, almost everyone received their dream positions. After all, beneath the main commanders, there were deputy commanders. These deputy titles were used to accommodate senior, loyal members who lacked significant capability. The impact of this expansion was enormous. After all, what is a three-thousand-person squad trying to achieve? Anyone with a bit of sense knew the answer!

Cloud City University No. 1 was pleased because this burgeoning battle group originated from their institution. Cloud City University No. 2 was also pleased because most of the high-level management in the Red Heart Squad came from their school. Cloud City’s investment institutions were equally delighted, as they saw the returns on their investments. The newly joined members were excited as well; finally, having passed the assessment, they entered the Red Heart Squad they had longed to join. The veteran members were also happy. Though loyal, people always tend to seek advantage and avoid harm. With the squad growing so vigorously, it might become the Red Heart Battle Group in just a few months.

As management of a battle group, the status and power they possessed were beyond anything they could have imagined just a few years ago. Now, under your leadership, it had all become reality! In short, everyone was happy, and the true emergence of the Red Heart Battle Group's prototype won the admiration of almost everyone. For a time, major institutions in Cloud City sent representatives one after another, hoping to provide additional investment to this unicorn-like, supernova student battle group.

The few who were unhappy were likely the agents from battle groups like the Golden Hand. To recruit the Red Heart Squad, they had practically lived at Cloud City University No. 1 for some time. And yet, you told them you had no intention of joining any existing battle group? A student, wanting to start their own battle group? Although it sounded absurd, you actually did it! Three thousand First-Rank professionals and a hundred Second-Rank professionals—this level of power could not be ignored, even by the Golden Hand Battle Group.

In July of the 129th year of the Transcendent Calendar, after paying nearly half of your available funds, you finally obtained the core control hub for the Furnace Battle Formation. The moment you received it, you began experiments within the Red Heart Battle Group. This matter concerned the future development of the group and its leadership in social innovation, so you had to understand the formation thoroughly. Through the combined effort of three thousand professionals, the explosive power released briefly altered the weather over Cloud City. The overcast sky, which had been drizzling with rain, was directly shattered by this terrifying power gathered by three thousand professionals.

Although the Red Heart Battle Group's influence only lasted for half an hour, being able to affect the natural world with one's own power already touched upon the domain of high-level professionals. Regardless, this was a great boon for the development of the Red Heart Battle Group. You did not deliberately block this event—in fact, you wanted the outside world to know about it. Otherwise, how could you take the opportunity to raise the value of the Red Heart Battle Group?

As expected, upon learning of this, major institutions in Cloud City once again raised their valuation of the Red Heart Battle Group. It was only after this event that you began to receive the various institutions looking to increase their investments. Your stance was very clear: the current Red Heart Battle Group is no longer the Red Heart Squad of the past. Therefore, if they wanted to invest, they had better think carefully before speaking!
