Sword Among Us chapter 335 - occupation | English Novels Online

The three masters of the three great local sects along with some of the masters of middle and small local sects were all in Shennong Restaurant. As long as they had a certain degree of influence, they were invited, and they were all present.

Happy knew that Mu Clan might already have its own foundation, but they still did not have a lot of people. If they truly wanted to develop, Thunderous Battle would need to take in members from the areas around Baokang to make the clan stronger, which was why Happy needed his next words will be swiftly spread by the masters of the sects around him later. They would directly affect the speed of Mu Clan’s development in the future!

Happy cast a glance at Thunderous Battle under the countless gazes, and then said, “We’re just a normal, small clan. Our conditions are far more inferior compared to those of professional guilds, so, naturally, we can’t set our requirements too high.”

The group of leaders nodded quietly and continued to stare at him.

Practically every single player who had reached Mystical Realm in Baokang had been taken in by various sects. There were only a few who had joined no side. They either had some reason behind why they refused to join any sect, or they had just reached Mystical Realm.

If Mu Clan set the recruitment requirement to be above Mystical Realm, there would be few who met it, and Mu Clan could only dream about developing within a short time.

Right then, many people already knew that the three great local sects were prepared to share their valuable metal mines and crystal mines with Mu Clan. After all, those places had not been developed much as of right then. They could use it to make Happy station himself in Baokang and protect them.

Hence, many people were attracted to Mu Clan, regardless of whether it was for Happy’s fame, Shennongjia’s rich and valuable, top-grade resources, or the great treatment provided by the three top local sects.

If they set the requirement at a reasonable level, Mu Clan would soon jump into the ranks of large sects and truly become one of the four great local sects in Baokang.

“I personally believe that as time passes, anyone will be able to catch up in terms of qi realm. The difference in qi realm cannot prove much. As long as the person is eager for progress and wants to be outstanding, Mu Clan will be willing to provide them with the best environment for training and resources. Hence, as long as they have reached Blessed Realm and have a high-tier martial art, Mu Clan will welcome them.”

“Blessed Realm…”

“Your starting point is good.”

“Brother Happy, you do indeed have a unique viewpoint. Your opinion is outstanding.”

A wave of discussion instantly rose in the restaurant, and quite a number of people nodded in secret.

But Happy had not finished just yet.

He coughed and added, “Of course, I’m not saying that those who are below Blessed Realm can’t enter. Mu Clan also welcomes those players who have a high level in their occupations, regardless of whether they are herbalists, ironsmiths, or tailors. We will welcome them all. As long as they have some degree of achievement in their occupation, we will provide resources for them to continue with their craft.”

Once he finished speaking, someone among Shaolin Temple’s thirteen staff-using monks could not help but speak. “Boss Happy, we’re even inviting those who are focusing purely on their occupations?”

“That’s right.” Happy remembered that the speaker’s name was Phecda, and he was the youngest among the thirteen staff-using monks.

“Do you want merchants as well? I have a friend who really likes conducting businesses, but she doesn’t have a sect to protect her, so she’s always bullied…”

“What level is she? Novice, Beginner, Skilled, or Manager?” Happy asked while looking at Phecda.

Phecda’s eyes lit up, and he answered without hesitation. “She’s at Skilled. I heard that she’s going to reach Manager very soon.”

“His level is pretty high. Alright, he can join. But we currently only have a limited number of members. We can’t help him if he’s too far away from us, unless he comes here to develop his business…”

“There’s no problem with that. We have plenty of resources here. I’ll immediately ask her to come over!” Phecda was so delighted he did not notice his twelve senior brothers’ strange and mischievous smirks.

Upon seeing it, Happy smiled faintly and said nothing.

Merchants were regarded by many as an independent occupation that specialized in managing businesses and were not regarded with any importance. But they did not know that while sects could only perform internal trade, merchants could trade with all players. They could buy items at a low price and sell it to others at a fair price or a high price. They could also sell their own unique resources at an exorbitant price to others. During the later stages of the game, they became one of the components that many sects could not lack.

Happy had directly told all the players in Baokang that he would take in those focusing on occupations, and it was mainly because he had taken a fancy to the rich resources in the place along with the many occupations in the game!

Normal sect members usually developed slowly, but as long as they had a quiet environment, they could also develop quickly.

Even if they had just set up their clan, they could still shorten the gap between them and top-class sects. Happy was very confident about that.

But that might not be the case for occupations.

They needed a long time to develop, accumulate large amount of resources, and also use up a lot of those resources. If they joined the clan after they had begun their occupations a month or more ago, their achievements in the future could not be assessed.

If an ironsmith’s crafting skill was ahead of others, they could make all the attributes of the weapons and equipment in the sect increase by leaps and bounds. They could then easily cover up the distance between them and powerful players.

*****

There were plenty of resources in Shennongjia, and Thunderous Battle and the others had not been idle.

Aside from getting experience from One Circle and the others, Thunderous Battle and Little North also exchanged many of the items they did not use into ingame money to fill up their clan storage. Then, after they came to understand the price for various resources in Baokang, they formed a detailed operating system that was similar to that of Beautiful Robes Faction.

Even though their headquarters had been built for less than two hours, they had already placed more than thirty million taels of silver in their clan storage. The contribution points and exchange rate ratio was also very detailed and clear for all the members who wanted to use the system.

Those who joined would instantly see how convenient it was to trade with the clan storage. They would then form an orderly contribution system within the sect!

*****

During the feast, Happy exchanged quite a lot of information and experiences with the local leaders of Baokang. They benefited greatly from each other.

Happy came to understand that there was a mysterious and terrifying Blood Sucking Wood forest in the depths of Shennongjia, and it was very large!

It covered a circular area of one-third of a mile. The entire forest was red, dyed so by the blood of countless humans and wild animals. Not only was it Shennongjia’s forbidden ground, it was also an unexplored, blank area on the map that all people wished to explore and uncover. But whenever someone approached the area, the weak vines from the Blood Sucking Wood would quietly bind their limbs, and their blood would continuously flow out from their bodies.

The closer they got to the area, the quicker they would lose their blood. If things went truly bad, they might not even be able to move. They would be dragged straightaway into the depths of the forest!

When Happy heard of it for the very first time, he made sure to remember it, because those things would only stand guard around valuable herbs!

Normal herbs were accompanied by Blood Sucking Grass, while high-level herbs were surrounded by Blood Sucking Wood. The rarer the herbs, the more Blood Sucking Wood would grow around them.

If the Blood Sucking Wood forest was really as big as the sect masters claimed… then the rare miraculous herbs such as a Thousand-year Human-shaped Ginseng or Thousand-year Tuber Fleeceflower might be in there! Both of them were miraculous herbs that could instantly restore a person who had died to the peak of their condition!

While the feast went on in a lively manner, a commotion suddenly came from downstairs. Everyone heard loud stomps and frowned. Soon, big and built Embroidered Uniform Guards with chains in their hands charge up the stairs with a murderous air.
