Chapter 277 - Inaction Or Unwavering Commitment (2/2)

...

Most guilds had guild shops and rewards exclusively for their guild members. These shops and rewards were often divided into 3 tiers (Low-tier, Medium-tier, and Advanced-tier) and they could only be paid with Guild Points.

Guild Points: a currency only guild members could accumulate by doing certain tasks, completing high paying missions, and improving the guild's reputation in some way.

Xiao Fang didn't have anything like that set up yet, but he had a few ideas he knew he could implement before the end of the week.

...

”Your ideas are good, but expensive. You shouldn't be spending all your merit points like that,” Jiang Mei half-scolded him.

Growing up as a Patriarch's son, Xiao Fang understood how easily it was to get sucked into the habit of spending once one gained a bit of wealth. He had seen it countless times in his province.

Although he was a Patriarch's bastard child, his father never spoiled him with any gifts nor allowed him to buy anything he wanted. Instead, he made Xiao Fang see how being spoiled like a young master could hinder his growth. Due to his grandfather's manipulation, Xiao Fang was extremely self-motivated to get stronger, so Xiao Fang would never allow anything to hinder his growth, and his father knew that.

Xiao Fang's spending might've seemed reckless, but he had thought about it for a long time. As Xiao Fang's grandfather used to say,

[ Inaction or Unwavering Commitment, nothing in between ]

If you start something without complete confidence and commitment to seeing it through, then inaction is always the best course of action or else you will end up in a much worse position from where you started.

Since Xiao Fang had already created his guild, he knew he needed to put all his eggs in one basket and take it all the way.

”I can always get more merit points if I need it, so that isn't a concern to me,” Xiao Fang replied.

Jiang Mei pouted thinking that he didn't really understand the danger of spending too many merit points.

”Why would you ask for my opinion if you're just going to do what you want?”

Despite knowing that Xiao Fang wasn't the kind of person to change his mind once it was made up, she still wanted to convince him to spend less merit points, but she paused when she saw him smiling.

As Jiang Mei was following Xiao Fang, she tilted her head and peeked around him to get a better look at his face.

”What are you smiling about?” she asked curiously.

”You remind me of someone I know,” he said thinking about Xun Wei.

Xun Wei used to always follow him around like a secretary, and go against everything he said, but she always came around to his ideas in the end.

'It hasn't even been a month, but I already miss them so much. I wonder how Xun Wei is doing,' Xiao Fang thought.

As they were walking down to the lab, Xiao Fang had asked Jiang Mei why she was home earlier than usual. It turned out that her training was finally over, so they let her off early to find something she wanted to do. She no longer needed to wake up early to go to work, and could start looking for work. As For Su Yun, she was required to take a few more classes, because she was caught coming into training with a hangover a few times.

Jiang Mei could now choose to work for a department, become a teaching assistant, become a club organizer, work in the Ancestral Training Grounds, or work as a guild supervisor if she wanted. Since she already had this discussion with Xiao Fang a few days ago, she already knew what she was going to do even before her training ended.

Xiao Fang knew the benefits of having an elder work for his guild, so he had already given Jiang Mei the position a few days ago.
