Jiang Kai had planned to give the job-change materials to Hu Yan and Ruan Yu, but those two had taken people from the guild to level up.
Under He Shishi's leadership, the Main God Guild's development speed was at least a hundred times faster than before…
Of course, before this Jiang Kai had basically ignored the guild; since the Main God was founded it had pretty much stood still for almost a year.
Just as Jiang Kai was getting ready to log off, He Shishi walked over.
"Hey, um, you died in the mine disaster too, right?"
Jiang Kai frowned — where did that come from…
But then he thought about it: after he escaped the mining area he logged off immediately, so of course the others assumed he had died and logged off.
"Xia Hua and Dong Xue said maybe you don't secretly like them two."
"Ah?" Jiang Kai looked dumbfounded. "Since when did I secretly like those two?"
He Shishi hurried to interrupt, "Ah, that's not the point. They said you seem to like that girl Chang Siyáo."
"I…" Jiang Kai froze for a moment; the question made him awkward, and he quickly shot back, "Why do you care who I like!"
"Miss Siyáo, before she left, asked me to pass a message to you. She said that if you're willing, you can go to Kunlun Guild in District One to look for her. She'll be over there for the next few months — it seems she's preparing to change jobs."
Jiang Kai frowned, "Kunlun Guild? I haven't really heard of it."
Jiang Kai still remembered Chang Siyáo saying she'd grown up with a group of boys, which was why she was used to calling herself 'laozi' (an old-school, cocky self-reference).
He Shishi looked at Jiang Kai, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let me warn you: Kunlun Guild isn't an ordinary guild. If you're going, you better be well prepared."
"I can tell you for certain, with Miss Siyáo's looks and background, her suitors might scare you to death!"
Jiang Kai examined He Shishi, unsure whether this woman was telling the truth.
"Hey, you know Kunlun Guild?"
"Know." He Shishi said, "They just don't bother fighting for a spot among the Top Ten Guilds, and their numbers are small, but their strength is very strong."
"Put it this way: in real life, have you heard of some aloof, fame-shunning, self-cultivating old martial families, ancient sects?"
"I've seen them in novels."
"They exist in reality too! People in Kunlun Guild might very well be those kinds of people. I don't know the exact situation — that's their guild's secret — but I'm sure they hide dragons and crouch tigers." He Shishi's expression turned serious. "If you count not by numbers but by top-tier strength, they're stronger than the Top Ten Guilds!"
"No way…"
"No way? Combat ability, talent, skills, attributes, profession, equipment — those are all external factors. Personal quality is the internal factor. And internal factors often play a huge role!"
Jiang Kai frowned; what He Shishi said made sense.
With the same attributes, someone who's good at real-world fighting techniques would definitely be stronger than an ordinary office worker.
In any case, He Shishi had brought this news to Jiang Kai — at least now he knew where to find Chang Siyáo.
Jiang Ying would soon be going to the capital, so Jiang Kai decided to wait a while before going to find Chang Siyáo.
"Got it…" Jiang Kai said coldly, and walked toward the door. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped, turned his body, and looked at He Shishi…
"Ahem, um, thanks for your hard work these past days… If you want to leave the Main God, you can do so anytime." After saying that, Jiang Kai left the Main God camp.
He Shishi stood there stunned for a long time.
This guy actually said that? They could leave now?
Strangely, back when they dreamed of leaving the Main God and escaping Jiang Kai's clutches, when Jiang Kai actually said they could leave, she didn't want to go so quickly…
She sighed softly, bit her lip, watched the direction Jiang Kai had gone, and murmured, "Finally got the Main God up to over four hundred people, and now he wants to kick us out? No way!"
...
After logging off, Jiang Kai went to find Wei Ying.
Old Wei had said several times he wanted to talk with Jiang Kai. Aside from meeting once before that at the Destiny Ancient Temple, they hadn't had time to catch up properly.
"Director Tang and Minister Lü left?"
"They left early. They took your ore and were excited like something, like they wanted to ride a rocket back." Wei Ying poured tea for Jiang Kai himself. "Kid, did the job change succeed?"
Jiang Kai hurriedly stood up and took the teacup, "Luck was pretty good — it succeeded."
"There's no such thing as luck. It's all what you earned yourself." Wei Ying sat opposite Jiang Kai. "Actually, I'm rather glad you came to me before your job change."
Jiang Kai scratched his head embarrassedly, "Old Wei's words are still worth listening to."
"Hahaha."
"By the way, Old Wei, how do you extract attributes at the Transcendent stage?" Jiang Kai asked.
"Oh, about that, first you need to join the War God Hall — whether the Huaxia War God Hall or a local War God Hall is fine." Wei Ying said, "Before joining the War God Hall, there will be a grading. Based on the grade, the War God Hall will issue some beast-god dropped beast cores."
"At the same time, you need to obtain a material on Ghost Star called the 'Mutated Vital-Blood Crystal'. This material drops very rarely; only mutated-grade beasts, overlord-grade and above treasure chests will drop it."
"Bring the beast core into Ghost Star, fuse it with the Mutated Vital-Blood Crystal to make a 'Living-Blood Beast Pill'. One Living-Blood Beast Pill can extract 10 points of attributes."
"Of course, having more than five Transcendents can extract 10% of your current base attributes for each item."
Jiang Kai frowned — to extract at Transcendent you actually needed beast cores from beast gods!
One beast core could only extract 10 attribute points — that was too little!
"Old Wei, I have a lot of Mutated Vital-Blood Crystals. How many beast cores will the War God Hall issue at the start?"
"Well, very few. Only 10 cores, though the quality varies. Most beast cores you'll have to obtain later through missions. Unless some special mission reward gives a few beast cores."
Jiang Kai frowned; so War Gods participating in the Beast God Battlefield, when resisting the Beast Gods, also needed to obtain beast cores from the Beast God bodies to further enhance their strength.
"What about talents and skills?"
"You need high-grade beast pills to extract them. High-grade beast pills are made by fusing high-grade beast cores with Mutated Vital-Blood Crystals, mainly produced by high-grade beast gods. For you, you must try to get good results in the grading test. The higher the grade, the better the quality of the ten beast cores they give."
Jiang Kai nodded solemnly. It looked like his next step was to join the War God Hall.
"Is there any difference in rewards between the local War God Halls and the Huaxia War God Hall?"
Wei Ying shook his head, "No difference in rewards. If you complete the corresponding difficulty missions, you get the same things. But local halls are local — status and position differ, and the difficulty cap of missions differs. With your strength, joining the Huaxia War God Hall shouldn't be a problem."
"However, if you join the Huaxia War God Hall, unless you gain a post like me and need to go to the regions, you'll probably settle in the capital. You'd only go to support other places when they need you."
Jiang Kai didn't know how to choose for a moment.
Jiang Ying would live in the capital for a while, but his big brother still hadn't returned; how could the family be left with no one…
"Jiang Kai, actually I came to tell you that the Beast God Battlefield will be a brand new battlefield. If you die in the Beast God Battlefield, there will be no resurrection opportunity." Wei Ying looked at Jiang Kai and said earnestly, "No matter how glorious you were on Ghost Star before, here is a new challenge, you'll have to start from zero!"
"I hope you treat the Beast God Battlefield seriously!"
