"Isn't this just like the Bounty Guild of the Harrison Empire?"
Xiar instantly became interested; it seemed tailor-made for him, an excellent way to earn Evolution Points.
"Morent has absolute autonomy, somewhat similar to those independent kingdoms. Many laws from the Atlantis City-States simply do not apply here."
Lyle, holding a stack of documents with his arms crossed in front of him, explained with a smile, "Morent has nearly a hundred thousand Spirit Masters, and among them, there are both good and bad. Those who violate the academy's laws will face punishment, and some experimental creatures often escape from the academy and need to be captured or eliminated. This is where the Enforcement Team comes in."
"Are there any strict requirements?" Xiar asked, narrowing his eyes.
Anyone daring to break the law in this academy was either strong or foolish; after all, there were several Third-Level Spirit Masters stationed here!
Moreover, he was more interested in the escaped experimental creatures.
It seemed that such escapes were quite common from Lyle's tone. He had already entered the laboratory yesterday and personally experienced its layout, completely doubting that mere experimental creatures could escape from it.
Could there be something more to it?
"Strength! After all, the Enforcement Team needs to deal with ruthless Spirit Masters and various monsters. Only Spirit Masters can join. First-Level can become Pursuers, Second-Level Hunters, and Third-Level Arbiters. My brother Bean is an Arbiter," Lyle said with a proud smile.
"The Enforcement Team represents order and justice; you must have someone of sufficient standing recommend you to enter, and my brother naturally qualifies."
Arbiter! Third-Level Spirit Master!
Xiar finally understood why she was so special; her monthly expenses exceeded his entire fortune. Thus, he asked seriously, "So what price do I need to pay?"
"Sorry, you're just a First-Level Spirit Master right now and don't have much money... I suggest you work at one of those Totem Shops," Lyle advised him with a hint of genuine concern.
"How about this? I'll create a Totem Sphere for you and draw the Inheritance Blueprint for your Main Totem's Ultimate Evolution," Xiar replied with a smile.
Working is simply not an option for him; he could never bring himself to do it in this lifetime. Creating the Inheritance Blueprint for others, the compensation he received seemed pitifully small in his eyes.
It wasn't that he was greedy, but rather that time was too tight. He had to accomplish numerous goals within a month and a half, and the funds required far exceeded what the other party could imagine.
Joining the Enforcement Team would allow him to don a disguise representing the academy, enabling him to openly hunt down those ruthless criminals and turn them to his advantage.
These individuals undoubtedly had their own networks of power and immense wealth—what could be faster than robbing money?
As for those who disobeyed, it was simple: just kill them and earn Evolution Points!
Lyle paused for a moment, shaking his head apologetically. "I'm sorry, Master Level Totem Drawing abilities are possessed by hundreds of people in this school, and to achieve Ultimate Evolution, a Master Elite Talent is necessary. My brother has already made arrangements with someone..."
"Be straightforward. What price do I need to pay to get your brother's recommendation?" Xiar interrupted.
"Well, it's quite simple: become a VIP client of the Totem Dojo." The girl, who had always worn a gentle smile, now grinned like a fox.
"Just a friendly reminder: you need to spend 10 million to qualify... Alright, I have to find Teacher Terry now, so I'll take my leave."
Clearly, the other party knew his financial situation well and had set an almost impossible condition for him.
Xarl remained unfazed as he followed the path previously taken by the girl and strolled toward the Trading Market... just 30 million after all.
Morent Academy's island was roughly the same size as Demon City from his past life, with the academy occupying a full tenth of its area—a scale that was terrifyingly large, equivalent to several imperial universities combined.
Here, there were numerous well-equipped living facilities and related Trading Markets.
There were four Trading Markets in total, distributed in the east, south, west, and north directions, competing with each other.
After all, this academy housed hundreds of thousands of students—either Spirit Masters or those endowed with abilities who aspired to become Spirit Masters.
Spirit Master finds it naturally easier to make money than an ordinary person, but unfortunately, spending it is also beyond what an average person can imagine.
At the very least, owning a Main Totem and completing the Spirit Awakening already requires spending over a hundred thousand.
And this is with the academy providing various support policies; outside, the costs would be several times or even dozens of times higher!
After nearly half an hour, Xiar stepped off a Totoro Bus and casually walked into Trading Market No. 4 located in the west.
This place is quite similar to the market in Storm Harbor, with wide roads lined with all sorts of shops, each displaying a variety of peculiar names.
After wandering around the market for an hour, Xiar finally grasped many details.
Master Level Totem Drawing practitioners are absolutely in high demand here, with three shops offering two types of arrangements.
One option is for the shop to provide all materials such as Rune Factory, Totem Beast, and Source Crystal. You simply work there and can earn a profit margin of ten to thirty percent based on your abilities.
The price of Rune Factory is prohibitively expensive, making it unaffordable for most Spirit Masters at the beginning. Naturally, many choose this option. Some are willing to become diligent apprentices just to gain Master-Level Cartography Skills, working for the shop almost for free.
The other option is if you own your own Rune Factory, establishing a cooperative relationship with the shop. You can sell the completed Totem Sphere there, and if any repairs are needed, they can also be handled under the shop's name.
This method essentially means that the shop helps you attract customers for consignment sales; how much profit you make depends on your own skills, with only ten to thirty percent of profits going to the shop.
After all, many Spirit Masters are not good at dealing with people, let alone negotiating business. Leaving it to professionals can save trouble and often yield higher prices.
Having understood the general situation, Xiar began negotiations with a Totem Shop located in the eastern part of Trading Market.
“Mr. Xiar, this is Pipimon. Please draw the Inheritance Blueprint,” said a young shopkeeper with chestnut-colored hair as he presented a Totem Beast with a smile.
No matter how much more there is to say, it's best to showcase true skills first.
"Sure, please wait a moment." Xiar took the cage and carefully observed the creature inside.
The Totem Beast stood half a meter tall, covered in pink fur, its body round like a ball, with its limbs and head forming a perfect star shape.
It had a long, curled tail behind it and a pair of pitiful short wings, clearly incapable of flight.
Overall, it was a silly and adorable beast that would likely be very popular with girls.
Xiar's gaze remained fixed on the Totem Beast, seemingly scrutinizing it while he silently called out in his mind.
"White Spirit!"
He focused on the Skill Bar displayed on the translucent Interface, concentrating on the "Totem Drawing" skill.
Since he would be relying on this for the time being, why hold back?
As he willed it, Evolution Points began to flow away like water.
The Skill Icon blurred for a moment before becoming clear again—
"Totem Drawing: Master Level."
