The man proceeded to lay out several sub-categories within material products. Many of them didn't even necessarily have anything to do with Martial Art, earning Rui's apathy due to that. He wasn't interested in products that didn't aid his Martial Path and Martial journey.

"That is a general overview of the material product categories," He explained. "You can go through the digital library available on your accounter to gain more information regarding specific details."

Rui nodded. "Will do."

"The next broad category is information and intelligence," The man explained. "This includes Martial Art oriented information such as techniques and research centered around Martial Art that you may be interested in for developing a new technique, for example."

Rui nodded. He had already expected this. The Martial Union invested a tremendous amount of its revenue into the budget for research and development of Martial Art techniques and training techniques, training regimes, and other training resources.

Unfortunately, just like the research and development in another field, not all avenues and projects of research and development were successful. In fact, many of them were not.

"In addition to information related to Martial Art, the Martial Union also possess a library of information outside Martial Art, on all worldly matters, both general and specific knowledge within reason. Our extensive intelligence department and network have allowed us to grasp highly valuable and confidential information that would otherwise be very difficult to obtain. Of course, you do not possess the sheer

"You can even commission a covert investigation and intelligence-gathering operation around a matter or a person, or to obtain information that you're looking for. For example, and forgive me if this is personal, but I read that your mother died when you were born, and your father is a complete unknown. Our intelligence department can dig up the truth about their identities, your heritage,
