“I want you to be the head of the Adventurer's Guild.”
Li Yunque's words were startling.
Both of them were stunned.
Li Ruoshu frowned, “Dad, I remember… you still have some time before you retire, right?”
Li Yunque nodded, “Yes, but now something has come up, and I have to retire early and select the next head as soon as possible.”
After he finished speaking,
Li Yunque recounted what had happened in the Adventurer's Guild meeting room.
He specifically highlighted a few old men among the council elders and also brought up potential future problems.
“Those old men have seen the potential of Resident Evil, and they are probably secretly worried that our Tidal Town will develop in the future and absorb other towns into ours.
Their family's sphere of influence is all in our superior city, White Night City. If Tidal Town develops, it will cause a huge blow to the existing power distribution in White Night City.”
“So you're worried these people will suppress me?” Chen Yu also frowned.
“Not necessarily, but through this meeting, I think there is a possibility.” Li Yunque was only guessing, after all, the proposal of the current meeting had been passed.
Whether it will be proposed to abolish it in the future, and whether White Night City will suppress Tidal Town due to its rise, no one can be sure. One can only say that there are too many uncertain factors.
Li Yunque just wanted to eliminate these uncertain factors; he wanted Tidal Town to develop.
But developing would definitely affect the interests of those who already held power.
So, this future must be guarded against!
“These old men are almost in their graves, yet they still want to meddle in decisions. How shameless.” Li Ruoshu pouted.
“That’s right. To avoid this situation, our only way now is to make you the next head before I retire. This way, we’ll have the right to contend with them at the decision-making level.”
Li Yunque sighed.
However...
“I’m not doing it.”
Li Ruoshu refused without even thinking, “I don’t want to sit in an office all day dealing with annoying things and those annoying old men. It’s too much trouble.”
Li Yunque explained, “I can handle these things for you. You can also continue to be a Contract Adventurer in the Dark World and just come back occasionally. However, the contract details will need to be concealed.”
“No, just thinking about it is too much trouble.” Li Ruoshu had no interest in that aspect and disliked those things greatly. “Can’t you just find someone else to be the head? It doesn’t have to be me.”
“But… who else? Being the head isn’t something you can just do, and they also have to be on my side.” Li Yunque couldn’t help but feel a little anxious again.
“Li Ruopu!” Li Ruoshu blurted out.
“...He’s too weak; he can’t do it,” Li Yunque said helplessly.
“Um…” Chen Yu asked, “Speaking of which, what are the requirements to be the head of the Adventurer's Guild?”
Li Yunque explained, “Either strong combat power, deep qualifications, or a certain amount of merit, such as discovering or recommending excellent Dungeons, and that Dungeon achieving certain results.”
Li Ruoshu said, “Then why don’t you just give Resident Evil to him? Isn’t that enough merit?”
Li Yunque shook his head, “Already famous Dungeons are not allowed. If he works as a salesperson, he will have a recommendation slot. This recommendation slot cannot be used to recommend any already famous Dungeons; he must personally discover those unknown Dungeons.
Then, based on the performance of that recommendation slot, his merits are calculated, and he rises step by step. Only after becoming a top-tier senior salesperson at the city level does he qualify to compete for the position of head of a small town.”
“So complicated…” Chen Yu said indifferently, “In short, I'll just create two more Dungeons and put them under his name, right?”
“That… is indeed feasible.”
Li Yunque said with some difficulty, “But when recommending, it won’t show who that Dungeon belongs to. That is to say…
Even if the entire Tidal Town now knows the name of Great Xia Nevernight City, there won't be any hint of it in the recommendation slot. This is to prevent some established Dungeon Lords from relying on their reputation to boost the recommendation rankings.”
Chen Yu nodded slightly, “So, you mean there’s no behind-the-scenes manipulation, it’s all based on strength?”
“Yes, once a Dungeon is on the recommendation list, Great Xia Nevernight City won't be displayed, and the system prohibits any explicit or implicit hints. Once discovered, the system will punish you.”
Li Yunque said.
For famous Dungeon territories, the recommendation slot is actually dispensable, and it might even attract fewer Adventurers than relying on their own fame.
Therefore, only some middle-class Dungeons would use such a thing as a recommendation slot.
Initially, the competitors were only other Dungeons in Tidal Town.
But later, the competitors would be other excellent towns, as well as the higher-level White Night City.
Dungeons must be of extremely high quality to gradually stand out. Furthermore, in the past, there was too much favoritism, leading to a general lack of trust in the Adventurer's Guild's recommendations among the public, which further reduced the number of people browsing the recommendation slots.
Therefore, in Li Yunque’s opinion, rising through the salesperson route was an extremely difficult task, with far too many uncertain factors.
And Li Ruopu was a complete newcomer, having never done this kind of thing before. How could he succeed without decades of hard work?
And now there were only a few months left; there was no way for him to slowly work his way up.
In comparison, Li Ruoshu, relying purely on her combat prowess, would find it easier to become the next head.
“Uncle.”
After listening to the promotion rules for salespersons, Chen Yu smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, leave this to me. Go back and immediately arrange for Li Ruopu to start his job. I’ll make a Dungeon tomorrow and put it under his name.”
“Hmm, huh? Tomorrow…”
Li Yunque was stunned.
Make a Dungeon tomorrow?
What an unusual phrase!
He knew all the words, but when combined, they just didn't make sense.
Weren't all excellent Dungeons supposed to be meticulously polished before being released?
How did it become…
As if you could just conjure one up casually.
And in just one day?
That's just ridiculous…
