643 The Genius Organization (2/2)

”Alright then.” Noticing that the atmosphere was tense and nobody had the appetite to eat, she agreed to what Lin Huang suggested.

”We would like to invite you to join the Sweep Alliance.”

”The Sweep Alliance?” Lin Huang had never heard of such an organization.

”The Sweep Alliance is a special organization that was founded by geniuses more than 300 years ago. All of the members of the organization are geniuses. There are supreme geniuses among them including myself and Huangfu Hao,” Yao Lan explained.

”A genius organization?” Lin Huang had heard from Mr. Fu that it would be best if he could join such an organization when he arrived at the core zone because some of the rare ruins and special mysterious lands were opened only to genius organizations. However, different genius organizations would have different criteria whereby some of them would thoroughly investigate the person before allowing one to join. That was why Lin Huang did not have high hopes of joining any genius organization from the beginning as his identity was fake. It would mean trouble for him if he got investigated.

”Yes, our Sweep Alliance is more flexible. You can join as long as you have at least two members who recommend you. Although more than a third of the members are locals, we don't have any requirement about the member's origin, so we won't dig into your personal details. It's alright even if you're coming from an underground organization as long as you have impressive abilities and aren't involved in any other genius organizations. However, the reason why the terms are flexible is that our organization is less powerful compared to the other genius organizations,” Yao Lan told Lin Huang the reason why she had asked him to join.

”The powerful genius organizations in Division 1 wouldn't need to recruit members as all the powerful geniuses would go to them on their own.”

”Are there any restrictions after joining the organization?” Lin Huang asked.

”The management is very flexible as it's not a formal organization, but it still is a beneficial one. Let me send you the offer letter since it's nothing confidential,” Yao Lan said and sent the offer letter to Lin Huang. He started reading it as soon as he received the document. There was nothing strict on the member duty list. There were only three requirements. The first one would be to claim the Stairway Tree as often as the member could, while another would be to explore the ruins and mysterious lands while the last one would be to join at least one battle hunt once a year.

”What's the Stairway Tree?” It was Lin Huang's first time hearing about that.

”It's no surprise that you've no idea what that is. The Stairway Tree is a tree in the virtual world that only genius organization members are eligible to climb. The higher you climb, the more points you'll get. Not only will it be added to your total points in the genius organization, but you can also use the points to redeem items. Those who rank on top will enjoy rewards every month. Ancient relics, demigod relics… As long as you have enough points, you can redeem almost everything at the Stairway Mall.”

”I supposed it's not as simple as climbing a tree.” Lin Huang knew instantly that it would not be that straightforward when he heard Yao Lan's explanation.

”Of course not. Climbing the tree is just the tip of the iceberg. The difficult part is fighting with the rest. The capacity of the tree is limited at different heights, so competition is inevitable. You'll know the exact rules when you get there,” Yao Lan explained it vaguely.

”Sounds interesting.” Lin Huang thought everything sounded fine after reading the offer letter that Yao Lan had sent him. He then turned around and looked at Huangfu Hao.

”So, you're the second referrer?”

”That's right, but you'll have to win my trust before I can recommend you,” Huangfu Hao said directly.

”Sure, let's fight.” It was clear that Lin Huang agreed to Yao Lan's invitation.

”Can't you guys fight after dinner? I'm hungry…” Yao Lan whined helplessly.

”No!” Lin Huang and Huangfu Hao exclaimed at the same time.
