Chapter 799 A Worthwhile Money Drain
Watching the pushy woman leave, swaying her hips and her pair of silvery wings, Alex shook her head helplessly. She finally turned to Liam to ask, "What is with this guild registration? Isn"t the cost a bit too much? Do we absolutely need it?"
Alex could feel a headache coming just thinking about the number of beasts she had to kill to obtain such an insane amount of mana cores. First of all, where would they even find so many beasts? Also, mana cores were precious items as is.
There was a reason why they were being used as a currency. They had several uses, including fast mana recovery and production of various items, not to mention there was a chance one could gain additional stats by absorbing mana cores.
Taking all of this into consideration, wouldn"t it be simply better to use the mana cores or exchange them for some skills instead of simply wasting them on registration?
Alex did not have to spell anything out. Liam already understood her concerns. "It"s not what you think." He smiled. "Yes, registration costs are ridiculous, but once registered as a guild, several options open up."
"You mean more quests?"
Liam shook his head and added with a grin, "Do you still remember the guild residence back in the game?"
"Huh? Yes?" Alex was confused. Why was he asking about that now?
Liam"s grin widened. "What if you could have a similar structure in the real world too?"
The redhead opened her mouth wide to make an O-shape as she stood stunned after hearing this. "Ah… what… are you serious?"
Something like that was really possible? She couldn"t believe it.
Liam nodded. "Yes, I am very serious. First, join the guild, and then take a look at the fine print for yourself." He pointed to the system interface screen that flashed in front of him. There were only a few words written on it.
Below this first option, there were also several other options, but these were all greyed out. Liam"s gaze wandered over these options, wondering what they could possibly be.
In his previous life, there was a small group near the Gu family settlement who managed to do the guild registration before the Gu family. At that time, all the higher-ups in the Gu family were extremely distressed about this.
They were split into two groups, one wanting to purchase the same registration and the other not wanting to take a big risk. In the end, they watched the other guild crumble under the weight of the monthly fees.
When the guild failed to pay the fees, the registration was actually rescinded, and they were left with nothing. Watching this, everyone else, including the Gu family, thanked their lucky stars that they did not rush into this blindly.
However, Liam had a different opinion. Sure, the group regretted the registration, but that was only because they couldn"t afford it. There was no doubt that it was a money drain. However, he had a feeling that the payoffs would be equally amazing.
At this point, considering who his enemies were, Liam had no choice but to take these risks. Crawford, Divine Temple, these were not people he could beat by simply levelling up and becoming stronger. He needed more cards that he could play, which was what he was currently after.
And regarding pus.h.i.+ng boundaries, it was finally time to start attacking the next wall that was holding him back, the store quests.
Liam closed the guild interface, which was currently useless, and opened the store quest board interface. Immediately, a few new quests flashed on the screen. They were just small, simple quests and nothing life-altering.
…
…
…
"Ok, time to begin." Liam cracked his knuckles and started. With Luna standing next to him and blinking at him with her big eyes, he started taking out questionable materials one after the other from the spatial artifact.
Though they were neatly packaged, they were b.l.o.o.d.y, rough around the edges, with little to no extra processing. However, Liam already knew that the store did not care about these specific details.
So without holding back, he selected one trivial quest after another and started handing out all the materials in stacks to the fairy standing in front of him.
The woman smiled at first and graciously accepted the materials for the quest, handing out the reward immediately too, but as every second pa.s.sed by, the look on her face changed.
She flinched with disgust at the sight of so many b.l.o.o.d.y trash items, all mounting up in front of her. Of course, the store had only issued these quests, but seeing so many of these items at the same time…
"One second. One second. Mr. Liam." The fairy raised her hand to stop him as she first put away the materials submitted. She just couldn"t keep up with the speed with which he was submitting.
However, after a couple of seconds, she was again ready to accept more materials. These were just trash items, after all. They were nothing impressive. So she resumed the cycle of accepting the items and putting them away.
But soon… the fairy"s expression changed again, and this time it was not one of disgust. She gaped at Liam in awe and amazement as he continued handing out the items even after an entire hour.
What the h.e.l.l was happening here? Just how many materials had this human being gathered? The fairy gulped as her gaze wandered from the b.l.o.o.d.y items to the mana cores that were also constantly piling up on the side.
