1002 Gene 2 (2/2)
Upper-middle level Energy Machinists would never trouble themselves with tasks like purely releasing cold air because the remunerations were too little. However, these rewards were more than just menial remunerations to the lower ranking disciples.
Secondly, they could also visit the other major Two Hearted Peak Masters and serve as temporary helpers to coordinate experiments and assist with computing.
When they were lacking time, certain Peak Masters would subcontract the regular Energy Machinists to complete some of the computing processes that purely contained recurring patterns. These subcontracts would require the participation of large numbers of low-level Energy Machinists. Moreover, they were regulated to check the calculations five times. There would also be extremely severe consequences if mistakes occurred. Therefore, it would consume a large amount of one's mental and physical efforts.
Hence, the remunerations of these quests would naturally be much higher. The things that were freely discarded by the Two Hearted were sufficient for the One Hearted Disciples to consume for a very long time.
Thirdly, the next quest option was maintenance work. There were various intelligent Energy Machinery devices within the interior of the base that required maintenance and replacements of new parts. This was a dirty task that only provided an average amount of remuneration but was very suitable for quiet Energy Machinists who did not like competing with each other for power.
The fourth option was continuous self-study and research to constantly bring up new supposition and conclusions to ponder about. As long as the conclusions of their experiments were valuable, they would receive rewards that corresponded with their levels. This path was specially reserved for computing prodigies and scholars because most people would not be able to do so…
White Night laid face up on his bed. Level One Energy Machinists like himself belonged to the lowest level of the sect.
Most of the places within the base had quiet environments. Other than the people outside who were meeting the new members, there was no one else to be seen except for some Flying Ships and Airships that were constantly shuttling back and forth.
Under the intelligent operations of the base, most of the disciples and members entered the Flying Ships and Airships to travel to different places. The residential areas were the only places that were livelier. These places were not within the base but were at the foot of the snowy peak of the major Peak Masters.
The main factor that attracted people to the snowy peak was the various subcontracts and quests with high remunerations. The Two Hearted Peak Masters special treatment and the beneficial radiation made many Energy Machinists feel that approaching the radioactive areas would help their training greatly.
Therefore, many One Hearted Disciples simply built their houses at the bottom of the large snowy peaks to ensure that they could snatch the subcontracted quests at the first instance.
The popularity of this place brought along many supporting facilities.
This caused various different markets, shops, vendors, stalls, trade fairs, and black markets to be gradually built there. There were numerous types of transaction methods as well. Moreover, the disciples of this sect were not the only ones that gathered here. On the contrary, most of them were merchants and vendors from the outside world. There were also banking institutions, various major trade alliances, and workshops among other things.
The One Hearted Disciples powerful consumption abilities spurred on the operations of the industrial chain. As one of the major sects, the resources that were occasionally leaked by the Scarlet Snow Sect were treasures that the normal people on the outside yearned for in their dreams.
Mech Pilots, aristocrats, and rich people all came here to buy houses. As time passed, a little town below the snowy peaks was formed.
This caused a strange phenomenon of a vibrant little city to form at the foot of the snowy peaks despite the quietness of the interior of the base.
”I need the White Melted Crystal to upgrade my clan's technique. Although most of them are very cheap here, I still require a lot of Spar Stones. Since there are so many little snowy peak towns within the Scarlet Snow Sect, I need to find a place that's the most suitable for me to earn some money,” analyzed White Night mentally. ”The remuneration for subcontracted quests are very high but I doubt that I can snatch these quests from those people. As a member of the Gideon clan, I don't have to fear any low-temperature environments. I'm also the prodigy with the purest lineage within my clan throughout the last one hundred years and I should be able to rush to a higher level quickly while practicing the Scarlet Snow Technique. However, the people here don't know about the reputation of the Gideon clan. Therefore, I don't think anyone will pay attention to me.”
His thoughts stirred continuously. As someone who had already achieved the Level Two Energy Machinist standard within his clan's technique, it would not be difficult for him to earn money. He would only need to decide on a method to do it.
”I think that it would be better to go to Red Sand Peak because Peak Master Orel is currently charging towards the ninth grade of the Scarlet Snow Technique's realm. Most of the simple information regarding the nurturing Energy Machine Imprint that he took over previously has been subcontracted now. Perhaps I'll be able to get some of it when I look for my older brother later.”
”…Maybe I should go to Black Wolf Peak instead. I heard that Peak Master Garen of Black Wolf Peak has already agreed on the Decisive Battle Platform for the fight between himself and Supervisor Werder from the outside. He'll definitely need to complete many computations. We should keep a watch there first because he might outsource quests,” analyzed one of his roommates on the side.
”Are you still going to the meeting at Falcon Peak?”
”I won't go if I get a subcontracted quest,” answered his roommate right away. ”I'm still planning to visit home for a while next month to get some money from my mother. The prices of the things here are too expensive. I only need fifty Universal Units in my hometown for a meal while one Spar Stone can last me for half a year. To think that we would need to use Spar Stones as units here. What a scam!”
”My father spent too much money just to send me here and my family isn't as rich as yours. I'll go look if there are any opportunities in the little town first.”
When White Night heard this, he turned around and got out of bed instantly. He saw that his two other roommates below him were currently holding a little desk lamp while circling and drawing on the calendar on the electronic screen.
He jumped off the bed and walked over to glance at them before discovering that various activities, gatherings, release dates of subcontracted quests, and seminars by Peak Masters were recorded on every date on the calendar.
”White Night, you're awake?” Short-haired Blondie's roommate glanced at White Night in a friendly manner. He had always felt a particular aura emitting from White Night and was certain that he was not an ordinary person.
”Which snowy peaks have a probability of outsourcing quests tomorrow?” White Night nodded in response while asking right away.
”There are fifteen snowy peak cities that will be announcing the quests that they will be outsourcing earlier on. Take a look, they're all here,” said Short-haired Blondie as he passed the little book in his hand over to White Night.
