A day later, on Yumina Island:
"Finally, I've arrived!" Tarik heaved a sigh of relief.
The mission he had chosen was to set up a sub-teleportation array.
Upon arriving in the Moonlight Empire, he was amazed by the liveliness and prosperity.
In some aspects, it even surpassed cities on the Arcane Continent.
If it weren't for his mission, he would have liked to take his time and visit the place.
Seeing the peacefulness of the empire, Tarik thought that the journey would be easy.
However, coming out of the sunburnt plateau, he was greeted by a tide of beasts.
Although it was nothing to him, seeing such an endless number of sea beasts left him numb.
The original journey of a few hours turned into a day before he reached Yumina Island.
"Hello, are you Lord Tarik, sent by His Majesty?" A high official managing the island asked.
Maximus had already sent a notification so that these officials could guide these lovely new guild members.
"That's right. I'm here to build the teleportation array," Tarik nodded and stated his purpose.
"Then please come with me..." He bowed.
Following the high official, they arrived at the center of the island.
On the way here, Tarik saw how devastated the place was.
Fortunately, it seemed that the people were still hopeful, and there was still a stable source of supplies.
He also saw dozens of puppets around the island, eliminating the sea beasts that came.
Seeing the puppets, Tarik could only lament how wealthy his idol was.
"Is there anything you need, Lord Tarik?"
"No, there's nothing," Tarik waved to the official as he eagerly started his mission.
Taking out the pre-carved materials, the only thing he needed to do was stack them.
However, this stacking needed to blend perfectly into the space to synchronize with the main teleportation array.
"Let's finish this quickly..."
A week later, Tarik was calibrating the sub-teleportation array.
Some curious people also looked on eagerly.
If they were not scared of Tarik, they would even come closer and ask personally.
For them, this teleportation array represented hope, not only for themselves but for their children.
After Maximus conquered the island, the officials immediately conducted a census and talent testing.
Talented individuals could go to the Moonlight Empire for further study until their island was further rebuilt.
Furthermore, they could also choose to live there if they had enough money or strength.
"Done!" Tarik muttered happily, receiving the signal from the main array.
[Rank C mission: COMPLETE
Set up a sub-teleportation portal.
Looking at his additional contribution points, he couldn't help but smile.
"Just a few more missions and I can buy a Tier 6 Hail Pure Core."
In the guild exchange list, rare Tier 6 resources only cost a few hundred credits.
It can be said that guild points are more valuable than a top magic crystal.
"Congratulations, Lord Tarik!" The high official, seeing Tarik happy, complimented.
"This is easy!" Tarik smiled arrogantly.
While they were talking, the sub-teleportation array moved as people kept coming out.
"Finally, I can do a different mission!"
"I've waited long enough; those Rank D missions were not for humans."
"That's right! If it weren't for my weak strength, I would choose higher-ranked missions."
These people who came out were also new guild members, the only difference being that they were weaker.
Most of them were Tier 3 to 4, unlike Tarik, who was Tier 5 and had extensive knowledge.
These people could only do repetitive tasks that required intensive manual labor.
"Then why don't you quit?" Pilo, a new member who had just joined yesterday, asked.
He had only come here under the banner of Maximus, the number one genius of this era.
However, upon seeing that the guild had no requirements or tests, he was a little disappointed.
After all, he still had some arrogance.
If others could join easily, does that mean the guild is not something special?
"Did you look through the guild exchange list?" Jeremy, a week-old member, asked.
"No, isn't it just some common resources?" Pilo muttered.
"With so many people joining, it can't have rare resources, right?" He added.
After being disappointed by the guild, he didn't even bother to read its introduction.
He just went straight to do missions, to quit and leave quickly.
Although it is said that leaving the Shadow Hunter Guild is easy.
You still need to be at least a Rank C member to do so.
Meaning, he still needed to do a bunch of missions before leaving.
Such a rule is, of course, Maximus's evil taste.
If he can't persuade these people to join the guild, at least let them contribute a little.
This can also better retain some weaker individuals.
Especially those who can only do missions that reward 0.1 points.
Doing a thousand missions just to quit the guild would take them years.
By then, would they still have the will to quit?
There is also the rare reward that they definitely can't pass up.
After they had a taste of what his guild could offer, can they still bear to leave?
Anyway, Maximus did his best to retain these people.
For now, it's somewhat effective as there's still no one who has quit the guild.
Of course, it's possible that they are still saving enough points.
"Heh, don't underestimate a guild by a core student, especially the one hailed as the most talented in this era!" Jeremy sneered.
He had seen many impetuous people, not even bothering to grasp the essence of things.
Fortunately, under his persuasion, they were willing to see things in a new light.
This also made him somewhat of a leader among these new members.
This fueled his ambition to achieve something bigger.
"Whatever, let's see," Pilo muttered as he looked at the enhancement list to see what this person was talking about.
Looking at the enhancement list, his nonchalant face changed from shock to excitement and eagerness.
"I-is this real?" Pilo muttered in excitement.
"Don't worry, lad, we already tried to exchange something by pooling our guild points, and it's real," Jeremy reassured, patting his shoulders.
"Hahaha, it's real!" Pilo, who still couldn't believe what was on the list, laughed loudly.
From rare top potions to foundational resources.
If Pilo could have all of this, then his advancement would be smooth sailing.
Usually, these resources were monopolized by top guilds and families.
Now he was also a part of a top guild, with access to these resources.
As for his earlier disappointment, that was long gone.
He even blamed himself a little, thinking he should have joined the guild earlier to earn more points.
"How about it? Let's finish the mission early and earn guild points!"
The two talked happily as they embarked on their mission of setting up an array.
As for Tarik, who was observing this scene, he could only smile wryly.
After all, he had also gone through such psychology.
"I also have to do more missions..." Tarik clenched his teeth and set out on his journey.
Two months later, in Shadow Hunter City:
After Tarik had collected enough points, he quickly came to the guild city to get the resources he needed to advance to tier 6.
After all, the higher his strength, the faster he could earn guild points.
Just as he was about to head to the guild resources point, he passed by the guild library.
"Huh? So crowded?" Tarik thought puzzledly.
In his mind, the guild library should be a gimmick.
Yet, looking at a large group of people looking eagerly from the outside.
He became curious and asked someone in line, "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"
"Of course, to browse the guild library," the lady named Creme rolled her eyes at such a stupid question.
"Uh..." Tarik was left speechless.
"I mean, are there really unique skills in the guild library?" Tarik rephrased his words.
"Why not? You can see for yourself instead of bothering me here," Creme muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Uh, okay." Tarik nodded unconsciously and joined the line behind her.
"Why are you standing behind me? There's a line over there!" Creme pointed out.
"Can't I stand here?" Tarik asked doubtfully.
"Suit yourself!" Creme didn't bother with him any longer and continued waiting.
After a few minutes of waiting, it was finally their turn.
Entering, they were asked to perform a pact of inheritance.
Ensuring that whatever they read here would never be divulged to others.
Inside, Tarik didn't see anything different from the usual library.
However, deep inside of him, there seemed to be a calling, guiding him around.
Finally, after walking and following his instincts.
He found a cultivation manual about the condensation of Gale law, which was inline with his path.
"What is this?" Tarik muttered and tried to open it.
However, before he could do so, a notification appeared, requiring him to pay guild points.
Seeing that it required 250 points, nearly all he had.
Tarik nearly threw the book aside and left immediately.
He earned these points painstakingly over two months without eating or sleeping
And it's only enough to read Chapter 1 of the book?
But feeling the urge inside him, he gritted his teeth and paid.
"It better be worth it!" He muttered with red eyes, like a gambler.
Upon opening the book, he saw the usual gale cultivation manual.
However, instead of condensing 354 elements to form the gale law, this one required 1062 elements.
