Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

"This is what I should do, please accept it, it's not anything very valuable."

The guild leader of a small guild came over, drawn by the smell:

"Huh? What's this new gadget?"

"This is a [Magical Communication Terminal]. It can be used as a portable communication crystal, allowing you to make remote calls to others anytime, anywhere. If you don't mind, I can give you one."

"Wow! What a wonderful thing! It's a truly ingenious design!"

More and more presidents were lured over by the subtle enticements, and Abo was generous, giving one to each of them. Bob and Gollman could only happily accept them when they saw how generous Abo was.

The subsequent presidents' meetings turned into Aibo's new product launches, where he taught the presidents how to use his communication terminals and openly advertised his products.

It easily won unanimous praise from the guild leaders, who said that once this magical tool is officially released, they will definitely have the younger members of the guild buy more from Fairy Tail.

That's exactly what Aibo was waiting for!

In this way, the initial sales of the communication terminal will definitely not be too bad, and the money-making weapon is about to show its claws!

Fairy Tail is not far from becoming a cyber magic giant!

Chapter 107 Fairy Tail New Rules

New Year X783.

It will be Aibo's birthday after the New Year.

Although Abbo didn't really care about this birthday, which was probably not even real, his family still gave him a proper celebration.

Abbott received many adorable gifts: Cana gave him 13 new outfits, Erza gave him a delicious cake, Mira gave him 13 new pairs of panties, Levy gave him new shoes and a hat, Juvia gave him a Juvia body pillow, Wendy gave him hand-knitted gloves, and the boys' gifts... well, let's just say they weren't included.

To be honest, Aibo has never bought any clothes for himself. All his clothes, from head to toe, have been given to him by his sisters, and he keeps wearing more and more of them. I don't know why.

People in the guild often think that Aibo is good at dressing up, but Aibo says he's wronged. He has never paid much attention to his clothes. Actually, it's the older girls who put in a lot of effort. Aibo is just a lazy dog.

After the birthday party, Aibo left the cleaning up to the Guga and went to take a nice bath.

After taking a shower, he found that Kana was not there. Sensing that her coordinates were on the rooftop, Abbot thought for a moment and went up to the rooftop as well.

Cana leaned against the wall, seemingly looking down at the ever-changing Magnolia, but Abbot remembered that the direction was the one Gildarts had left in a year and a half ago.

"Thinking about Dad again?"

Kana turned around and glared at Abbot, saying irritably:

"It's not that I miss that bastard. He's been gone for so long without saying a word to the guild. Who would miss such a heartless and ungrateful man!"

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that Gildarts won't let me leave a mark on him, otherwise I could teleport to his side right now and give him a communication terminal."

Abbot walked over to Kana, shaking his head and swaying.

"Kildarts is an outdated remnant of the old era, he's getting old too~"

"..."

Kana turned her head away sullenly.

"Does Abbott also think I did something wrong, and that I should have told the truth sooner?"

"No! I'll always stand by Kana! It's all Gildarts's fault!"

"Pfft~~ The younger brother is so much better; he knows how to care for his older sister~"

Kana laughed out loud, pulled Abbo into her arms, and immediately launched a bear-smothering attack.

"Waaaaah~ Let go of me! I can't breathe..."

"It's decided! When Gildarts comes back this time, I'll tell him about it directly! I don't want to worry about anything else anymore!"

Kana released Abbot, seemingly having finally made up her mind.

"I will always support Sister Kana!"

"Really? Then I'll sleep with you tonight, sister!"

"Huh? No, no, I'm not a child anymore..."

"It's Abbott's birthday today! Can't you grant your sister a small request?!"

"Isn't this backwards? Shouldn't I be the one making the request?"

"Does Abbot want to sleep with his sister? That's not a problem!"

"Isn't that exactly the same?! Let me go! I don't want to!"

That night, Abbo slept soundly in Kana's arms.

-----------------

"President Makarov! Magnolia has recently become the hottest city in all of Ishgar! As the person in charge of this city, do you have anything to say to our newspaper's readers?!"

"Ahem, what ruler? Don't say such misleading things. I'm just a nobody among the Ten Saints! In short, Magnolia's prosperity is inseparable from the efforts of everyone in the city. Magnolia is now safe, prosperous, and full of life. Everyone is very welcome to visit our city."

(Shorthand: Makarov stated that the entire city was under the protection of his Ten Wizard Saints, that it was absolutely safe, that no villains would dare to cause trouble in the city, and that it was a very suitable city to settle down in...)

"Guild Master Makarov! Your guild's recently released magical communication terminal has caused a new sensation in the Kingdom of Fiore. Sales are staggering and demand exceeds supply. Some people claim that Fairy Tail made a profit of over a billion J in just half a month. Is this claim true?"

"No, no, no, I don't know anything about the sales of end products. They are products of our guild's subsidiary end company. Although I've heard they sell well, I'm not sure about the specific revenue."

(Shorthand: Makarov stated that the profits from the Magic Terminal far exceeded ordinary people's imagination. It was just a product of one of the companies under the Fairy Tail guild and could not represent the entire Fairy Tail guild's revenue. Outsiders' speculations were too conservative...)

"President Makarov, you are now regarded as the greatest leader of Fairy Tail. It is said that Magnolia's horse is your horse, Makarov. What do you think of this evaluation?"

"Nonsense! I'm just an insignificant old man. Our guild leader, whether the first or second generation, is a far superior mage to me. Fairy Tail has always been the strongest! Besides, I wasn't even born when Magnolia was given that name! What kind of strange questions are these?"

(Shorthand: Makarov said that although Fairy Tail was not well-known in the past, it would become famous throughout the world because of him in the future, and the name Magnolia would become great because of him.)

"Thank you so much for your reply! Our newspaper will definitely report today's interview truthfully!"

Fairy Tail is a hit! The Fairy Tail guild is absolutely wildly popular!

The Ninja Park incident brought fame to the town of Magnolia, but people didn't pay much attention to the Fairy Tail guild back then.

Now that the Magic Communication Terminal has officially gone on sale, the first batch of products sold was... 10 units.

Moreover, it sold out in less than a month after its release. The official retail price of a magic terminal is 200 J, and the first batch of revenue was 20 billion J. After deducting material and labor costs, the profit was close to 100 billion J.

Moreover, the second batch of products is still in urgent production. Currently, the supply of magic terminals on the market is insufficient, and they have even been sold by scalpers for as much as 100wJ per unit.

The magical communication terminal, which became a sensation across the entire continent, with its small body and only one logo on the back, "Fairy Tail," became the focus of everyone's attention.

In the past, no matter how powerful Fairy Tail was, whether the guild master was one of the Ten Wizard Saints, the strongest Fiore, or the most powerful connections and background... all of that was fake!

But this time, they made real money!

Furthermore, Fairy Tail doesn't just sell magical tools; they also run magazines, factories, companies, and trading companies...

Anyone with a bit of business acumen could smell the boundless opportunities and astonishing profits hidden within this city.

Therefore, Fairy Tail became incredibly popular, becoming the rising star of Fiore, no, of Ishgard.

People flock to the city every day on the magic train, new lands are constantly being developed, and new buildings are constantly rising.

This city is full of new hope!

However, most of the Fairy Tail members at the center of the storm lacked this awareness.

Even Maklov was baffled, wondering why so many people had come to interview him lately.

Because Aibo didn't tell him that the terminal company had earned 100 billion, because he had spent all of that money as soon as he got it.

Communication terminals (mobile phones) are just the first step; Aibo plans to enter the projection magic tool market (television) next.

Fairy Tail Media is a crucial part of his business empire, but the traditional media industry in this world is still very developed, with many newspapers and magazines. Competing with them honestly would be too slow; he had to find a way to overtake them.

In this magical world, live streaming is a very simple thing, and there are some obscure movies, but generally only very important events, or people with money to burn, will use these projection devices.

Simply put, they have television technology, but not many television programs, which is why no one is buying televisions.

Aibo wants to change this distorted media ecosystem. His next step is to bundle the terminal and projection magic tools together for sale, and then add some interesting live broadcast programs to completely open up this blue ocean market.

This is another business worth tens of billions.

Not to mention the magical spinning machines, magical weaving machines, and magical crystal processing plants that Aibo recently commissioned to build... These new factories have already begun to devour raw materials and are preparing to deliver a devastating blow to this backward era.

Even Aibo didn't know what kind of behemoth Fairy Tail would become in the future.

This behemoth, which he set in motion, can no longer stop; the times and the people will push it forward.

Poor Chairman Makarov has no idea how rich he will be in the future.

Macro-level changes went unnoticed by the oblivious.

However, the changes in details are already quite obvious. The most significant change is that more and more new people are joining Fairy Tail recently.

Previously, Fairy Tail didn't require any strict screening or assessment for new members. Basically, the guild master would just take a look, and if he thought it was okay, that was it.

Later, the president even took a shortcut and dumped the gatekeeping job on Abbot, who had telepathic magic.

Aibo's screening process was quite simple: he would ask a few questions, and if the answers were truthful and showed no ill intentions, the candidate would pass.

Generally, no one with ulterior motives would join a guild.

But now Abbott thinks this method won't work.

There are so many people who want to join the guild that if he were to interview them one by one, it would take him a lot of time.

Moreover, after the guild became popular, all sorts of weirdos came to join, and some of them had such ulterior motives that Aibo found it annoying, making job interviews a real nuisance.

Why did you join Fairy Tail?

"Because I'm as beautiful as a fairy, I am a fairy! I think this guild name suits me perfectly!"

"..."

Aibo rubbed his temples, sighed, and said to the guild leader beside him:

"He's not very scheming, unlike those other people who have so many ulterior motives. Whether you agree or not is up to you, Chairman."

"Eba Green, right? Naturally awakened eye shape, very good talent. You're hired. Welcome to Fairy Tail."

"Oh ho ho ho~ This is the natural result, because I am a fairy!"

"..."

I have a feeling that there are going to be more amazing people in the guild.

After seeing off the last interviewee of the day, Aibo started to cause trouble:

"President! I don't want to interview new people for you anymore! I want to resign! I quit!"

"Hey, Abbott, with great power comes great responsibility! Isn't that what you always say? A true warrior doesn't desert his post!"

"Get out! Let whoever wants to do it do it. My lab has more important work that needs me."

Makarov was at his wit's end. He realized he might be relying on Abbot too much, but what could he do? Abbot was just so useful! He couldn't put him down!

"Then give me some advice. I have dozens of resumes here, all from young people who aspire to join our guild. I can't let them down..."

Makarov was secretly delighted. The stronger the guild, the happier he was. He'd been incredibly busy lately! But he was happy!

"Alright, let's hire all of them..."

"Oh? That's not a good idea. If we recruit some people with bad intentions, it will damage our guild's reputation!"

What good reputation has our guild ever had?

Aibo was so angry he laughed. Even though Fairy Tail was incredibly popular recently, it only got the subtle reputation of "foolish and rich people come quickly." This old geezer must be living in a dream.

"Please let me finish. All of these people have become Fairy Tail's reserve members, which means... outer disciples."

"And we old folks are the so-called formal members, that is, the inner disciples."

"Outer disciples can only be allowed to join the guild and have their seal affixed if they are recognized by one or a certain number of official members. What do you think of this method?"

Makarov's eyes lit up. He felt that Abbo's idea was exactly what he wanted. So what if you have to be recognized by your companions to become a partner? That makes perfect sense!

I really don't know how that brat Abbott's brain works; he's got a ton of clever ideas. Sigh, I can't help but envy him.

"Alright, we'll do it your way, but we might need to discuss the specific details with everyone in the guild..."

The next day, Makarov called everyone together for a meeting to discuss the new rules for hiring partners, asking for everyone's input and suggestions.

The Fairy Tail fans reacted enthusiastically and discussed it extensively.

"So, in the future, everyone can decide who gets to join a guild? Doesn't that seem a bit too far-fetched?"
