Chapter 28 - Look, This is Very Effective! (2/2)

Yusa was smiling from ear to ear, she already knew back then, before the mercenary test started, that Krune is a first timer 'leaving the forest demon beast'. It felt really good to tease him, after laughing a little more she finally entered the topic at hand.

”Alright, the thing I wanted to talk with you is related to the ranked mercenary teams, are you interested in forming one?”

Krune was puzzled. Ranked mercenary teams? What is that?

”Could you explain what is this ranked mercenary teams is about?”

Yusa was already expecting that he didn't know, so she was already prepared to explain.

”It goes like this, the mercenary guilds of the entire world have a team rank for accomplished teams, There is three ranks according to the cultivation level of the teams.

The Earth Rank is for Qi Condensation mercenary teams, although not many people pay attention to this Rank, it still exists as a form of making the new recruits who joined the guild as Qi Condensation to put more effort.”

”The second is the Sky Rank, as you can probably imagine already, this is the rank for those teams with members at the Foundation Establishment Realm, In this rank your team can also have Qi Condensation cultivators, but because there is Foundation Establishment cultivators in the team, it is part of the Sky Rank. Of course, teams of the sky rank would usually only accept Qi Condensation cultivators that have peculiar or amazing abilities.”

”The last is the Heaven Rank, this is a rank where the group has to have at least one Core Formation Realm cultivator. Of course, this rank means little for us at moment, doesn't matter how famous you or I am, a Core Formation Realm cultivator wouldn't join us anyway, the missions available for the Sky Rank aren't things that Core Formation cultivators are interested about, specially early stages like the both of us.”

Krune understood how the rank system worked, he then asked.

”Why you want to enter the rank system? Is there anything that makes it worth?”

Yusa nodded.

”Yes, for those on the path of cultivation, cultivation resources are of paramount importance, it's not simply spirit stone, it is alchemist pills, rare materials, spirit pastes, etc. But they are hard to get, even if you have the money there are things that you can't simply buy, you need connections! And that's where the team rank system comes about.”

”If you go to the mercenary guild now and check the list of items for sale, you will find out that the best quality ones are only available for those in the rank system, it's a way of ensure that everyone will put the necessary effort to uphold the mercenary guild's name.”

Krune understood, it's indeed a very good strategy to use cultivation resources to force the mercenaries to put their best efforts in the tasks, it's a no wonder that the mercenary guild is regarded so well in the field of missions.

”It looks good and all, but why me?”

Yusa then gave a bright smile, she pointed at his Four Stars Mercenary Badge.

”What else could be? 25% Discount! Your Four Stars Mercenary allows you to have a 25% discount on all products available for sell, with that we can also enter any country free of charge, not to mention the ability of using teleport formations by paying only the cost to activate it. Tell me, is there anything better in this world than save money?”

Yusa showed her true face! She is a money grubber through and through, and she has no intention of hiding that!

Krune was taken aback, he thought she would say something to do with his strength or because of his universe foundation or because he could use two elements at the same time, but in the end it was money! And it didn't seem like she was lying at all.

Krune started to ponder if it would be a good idea to create a rank team or not, on one side, if he goes up in the rank, he will catch more attention, but on the other side, there is bound to have a lot of cultivation resources that will help him greatly in the future.

Noticing Krune's dilemma, Yusa smiled and struck while the iron was hot, she knows very well what he is concerned about.

”Oh, I also forgot to tell that the teams can opt for having their members names hidden, only the team name appears, any other information can be kept a secret by the guild until they decide the opposite, or when you enter the Heaven Rank, only the Heaven Rank can not hide their information.”

Krune's eyes immediately lit up!

'Low key! There is finally a low key event happening in my life!'

He looked at Yusa.

”Alright, I accept, I also remember that they said that there is a very small number of contestants that can pass the mercenary guild test even with the lowest grade, but you were able to pass it directly with a Two Stars Badge and ID, so I believe you are quite strong too, it would do no good if only I put effort after all.”

Yusa was amazed by his answer. Could it be that he thought she would slack of if she had passed the exam with the lowest grade? But in the end it didn't matter, what matters is that she got Krune, the one who could get several benefits and mainly, 25% of discount on everything!

”Great, then we need to find at least one more team member, the rank system doesn't allow teams with less than three members.”

Krune nodded, then he asked.

”Should we go back to the guild to register first?”

Yusa shook her head.

”The outer branches can't register team, only main branches or the head quarters, we will need to go to Kaley City main branch to have our team registered. let's do like this, I don't have anything else to do here anymore, so if you are free too, we can depart tomorrow.”

Krune agreed, the main reason he wanted to apply for the mercenary guild was to get a badge which would help him in finding a mercenary group going to Kaley City.

”Very well, let's do like you said.”

They conversed a little more about other details and decided to leave, just as Krune started moving, another crowd that have been waiting for him appeared again, this time, Krune snapped, and then, he started changing his clothes...

Yusa was almost frightened to death, her face as red as a tomato! Just as Krune was about to removed his underpants, she stopped him.

”What the hell are you doing?”

Krune was puzzled, he then explained.

”I heard that you humans find it disrespectful to change clothes in front of others, I'm doing it to show how angry I am. Look, a lot of people immediately left, as expected, this is very effective after all.”

Yusa wanted to die!
