IUD-CHAPTER 359 A REQUEST

Madiath's office was an incredibly luxurious and modern room. The furnishings, including the sofa, office desk, and various decorations, were of top-notch quality. One of the walls was made entirely of glass, providing a panoramic view of the entire Asterisk City.

In this opulent and modern setting, Fang Li and Sylvia sat together on the sofa, with Madiath across from them.

As soon as they settled, Madiath got straight to the point, directing his gaze towards Fang Li and saying, "Fang-San, I believe you've already guessed the reason for your visit this time, haven't you?"

"Because of the prize for winning the Phoenix Festa?" Fang Li replied directly. "Is the chairman planning to hear our wishes here?"

"Yes, now that the Post-Festa work is complete, we'll soon begin preparations for the next year's Gryps Festa. If you have any wishes to fulfill, now is the best time to state them," Madiath said in a gentle tone. "Of course, we have discussed the matter of wishes with you before, and it was mentioned that wishes could be reserved."

Although it was stated, very few actually chose to reserve their wishes. Almost all students participating in Festa aimed to fulfill their desires. Only a handful participated for entertainment or training purposes, and this scenario was more common in the martial-oriented Jie Long Institute and the tradition-focused Saint Galahadworth.

"So, my Senior Sister intends to reserve her wish and did not come with me," Fang Li informed Madiath. "She seems to have already discussed this matter with the committee."

"I have indeed received a petition from Student Cecily-Wang and have already accepted it," Madiath continued to gaze at Fang Li, smiling. "On the other hand, since Fang-San hasn't submitted such a request, it implies that there is indeed a wish that needs fulfilling, doesn't it?"

"Yes," Fang Li suddenly said. "I have only one request."

Madiath immediately revealed an attentive expression, and the air around them suddenly became somewhat heavy.

It was only natural.

The winners of Festa could make a wish to the Integrated Enterprise Foundation. As long as it was within the foundation's capabilities, they had to do their utmost to fulfill it. However, precisely because of this, the atmosphere became tense.

Integrated Enterprise Foundation wasn't a government or a charity organization; it had established the Festa wish system solely to attract more participants and make Festa more entertaining for its own benefit.

In the past history of Festa, there must have been many winners who wished for dirty and dark desires.

Hence, during the wishing moment, the atmosphere was not always filled with positivity.

Fortunately, Fang Li didn't have any inhumane wishes.

"My wish is quite simple," Fang Li stated. "I hope the Integrated Enterprise Foundation can provide me with Urm Manadyte, the more, the better."

"Urm Manadyte?" Madiath was somewhat surprised when he heard such a request.

On the other hand, Sylvia, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have known Fang Li's wish in advance.

So, Fang Li smiled at Madiath and said, "What's the matter? Is this wish strange?"

"It's not necessarily strange, just a bit peculiar," Madiath shrugged, saying, "Although Urm Manadyte is an extremely high-purity Manadyte with considerable value, usually, only researchers in Meteor Engineering would think of obtaining it. It's rare for ordinary people to make such a request. Fang-san doesn't seem to be a researcher in Meteor Engineering. Why would you want Urm Manadyte?"

Fang Li raised an eyebrow and said with a faint smile, "Could it be that one must explain the reasons to make a wish come true?"

"Actually, I don't have such a requirement," Madiath explained. "However, Integrated Enterprise Foundation has always maintained strict control over Urm Manadyte. Even Ogre Lux is only leased to students, and even if a student in Festa wishes to obtain ownership of Ogre Lux through their victory, it is limited to them personally. Once the owner passes away, the foundation will still retrieve the Ogre Lux."

This indicates that the Integrated Enterprise Foundation has always maintained strict control over Urm Manadyte.

"However, if it's just Urm Manadyte, then you must be able to provide that," Fang Li said to Madiath. "For example, my Bo Xie, which is the exclusive property of 'Banyuu Tenra,' and Ardi, from the Arlequint Research Institute, also uses Urm Manadyte as its core. In that case, providing Urm Manadyte to the winners of Festa shouldn't be a difficult wish to fulfill, right?"

"That's indeed the case," Madiath nodded before adding, "However, the quantity we can provide is certainly limited. In such a situation, even a foundation like Integrated Enterprise would probably offer you only one piece of Urm Manadyte, or perhaps even less. I hope you can understand."

Fang Li naturally understood this point. While Festa winners can make wishes, it's still contingent on issues of 'value' and 'benefit.'

Integrated Enterprise Foundation established Festa for profit. If a winner's wish would cause significant losses to the foundation, even greater than the losses incurred by organizing Festa itself, it's impossible for them to fulfill that wish.

Therefore, the quantity of Urm Manadyte that Integrated Enterprise Foundation can provide is undoubtedly limited. Even for Festa winners, if Fang Li hadn't achieved victory, obtaining Urm Manadyte from other channels would have been unimaginably difficult.

In light of this, Fang Li didn't overly concern himself with this matter, nodding to express his agreement.

"Alright, with this the matter of the wish is settled," Madiath finally shifted his gaze towards Sylvia, smiling as he said, "Can you tell me the reason why Diva has come here?"

Sylvia's expression immediately tightened. In this situation, she only shifted her gaze towards Fang Li.

Under Sylvia's gaze, Fang Li lifted his gaze, looked at Madiath, and slowly uttered these words:

"Hand over Ursula's body. Laminamors."
