Chapter 74 - Chapter 74- Joining

Li Wei's situation is completely different from every other evolute in this world.

  Erin's suggestions are just that - suggestions. What she mentioned is all based on the premise that the Sharingan and the Demon's Left Hand are "innate abilities" that Li Wei possesses.

  But the problem is not at all that.

  The Book of Infinite Laws is a completely separate system outside of this world, and must be approached with even more caution. The path to take is not something that can be clearly stated in a few words right now.

  Nevertheless, Li Wei is very grateful to Erin. By taking the effort to explain these things to him, she has greatly helped him with choosing his own path in the future.

  Besides these, he also had a very important issue.

  "By the way, Eileen, I'd like to ask where can I get this training method?"

  "There are in the Guild."

  "In the Guild? Then why have I never seen it in the reward exchange list?"

  "You don't have enough authority," Eileen said. "This will only be open to eligible people. This eligibility is not just about talent, but a very complex recognition method. After all, our Clover branch will not train hunters for other branches; the entire Hunter's Association wouldn't train evolvers for other forces. Do you understand what I mean?"

  Of course, Li Wei understood that power came at a cost.

  He hadn't considered buying the training method at all. It should be available for sale, but the issue was the price. Things like genetic liquids, once they fall into the black market, would be priced tens or even hundreds of times higher than the official quoted price. So, what about the training method? According to Eileen's implication, it should be something very precious. If it really appeared on the market, it would probably be sold for an astronomical price. 

  The only solution he could think of was to obtain it through the Hunter's Guild.

  "How can I get the training method?"

  "For you now, there is only one realistic path. Perform excellently in the training at the Hunter's Headquarters, and the headquarters might give you the corresponding training method as a reward."

  "Are there any other ways?"

  "Yes, join a certain force and gain recognition."

  "I see." Li Wei took a deep breath, "If I hope to truly join the Clover Guild, what should I do?"

  He heard a loud, ringing laughter coming from the other end of the headset, from Eileen.

  "I can talk to Mars, and I think he would also be very happy to have you officially join the Clover Guild. After you complete the training at the headquarters, you can immediately go through the procedures to change your registered guild to Clover."

  "Then it's settled."

  "Alright, alright." Erin said, "Don't sound like you're about to sell yourself, that's not the case. As you know, both the Hunter's Guild and Clover are not places with particularly strong constraints. Everyone here is a hunter, taking on commissions, completing commissions, earning their own money, and enhancing their own strength. There's nothing wrong with that."

  "No, that's not what I mean. I just feel like, with the way I've been moving forward step by step, it seems like..."

  "Seems like everything has been arranged by me?"

  "Yes."

  "Indeed," Erin said, "Now that it's come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I want to leave this damn 17th Street, but I need your help. I made some mistakes back then and was exiled here. That's the price I should pay, and I won't say much more. I just want to go back; I don't want to spend my whole life here, do you understand?"

  "I understand, but I don't know how I can help you?"

  "The condition they gave me for me to leave here was to cultivate three masters who unlocked their genetic locks for the guild. In the first two years after arriving at 17th Street, I was lucky and had already sent away two. But I waited for five years and didn't wait for the third. I used to think Zhang Zongming would be the third, but the more time passed, the more I recognized the essence of that bastard. He let me down. But your appearance has given me hope again."

  "So that's how it is..." Li Wei finally understood the situation and said, "Alright, I can help you with this. After completing the training at headquarters, I will sign the agreement to change my registration and truly join Clover."

  "Then I'll contact my father later and explain things to him. Tomorrow, you can go see him and have a good talk. Convince him to grant you access to the method of exercise."

  "Okay, thank you."

  "I should be the one to thank you."

  ...

  After ending the call with Eileen, Li Wei went out and paid the communication fees.

  It was expensive. A "call" lasting over twenty minutes cost more than ten blue crystals. If the call lasted any longer, it would almost be comparable to the price of a D-level gene solution.

  Paid up, left, Li Wei returned to his room.

  He looked at the gene solution and flesh core he had exchanged for, thought for a moment, and decided not to use them for now. He would wait until tomorrow when he figured out the exercise method.

  ...

  The next day, early in the morning.

  Li Wei arrived in front of the office door of President Mars.

  Knocking on the door and entering, Li Wei saw the President sitting behind the desk, looking a bit haggard.

  These past few days, it's estimated that the President hasn't had a good rest. On the frontline battlefield, news kept coming in about individual powerful cybernetic creatures causing trouble, many of which were personally dispatched by President Mars and eliminated.

  Apart from dealing with the battles, with such a big incident happening in the Clover Community, Mars himself would have many things to face and worry about. Just looking at the pile of documents on his desk, you can tell how hard he has been working.

  However, the expression on his face was still very soft.

  He looked up and said to Li Wei, "Last night I received a call from Eileen. It's rare for my daughter to take the initiative to contact me, and this time it's for someone else, sigh..."

  Li Wei smiled and didn't take up the subject.

  Marses continued, "I have a few things left to do right now; after I finish reviewing this document, I'll discuss your business with you."

  "Okay."

  Levi found a seat nearby and waited for a moment.

  Mars didn't make him wait long; after writing a sentence or two on the document in front of him with his pen, he put the things away and then said to Levi: "Your potential is something I've seen as well. If you want to join our Four-Leaf Clover, I certainly welcome it very much. However, this is a very serious matter, and I don't want you to make a decision just for the sake of training."

  "Rest assured, I've thought about it clearly."

  "That's good, I've already informed Yang Lin who's in charge of administrative affairs. She will grant you access rights. You can now go to her office and choose a basic training method."
