Guer's enthusiasm and hospitality were not entirely due to his Knight nature. →

More often than not, it is due to family and surrounding environmental factors.

Strictly speaking, the Jobs Family should be considered a business family.

This can be seen from the fact that his family members include those who cultivate Battle Qi and those who study magic.

He is not from a traditional Knight Family, nor is he from an old-established Magic Family.

They develop in whichever area is profitable; this is a business family that is solely driven by profit.

Guer's enthusiasm for Saine stemmed largely from the fact that Guer and Saine were on the same level.

Level 1 beings are not considered strong in the Wizard World. The reason why the Jobs Family values Saine so much is because he is also Knight Continent Trial, as well as his high foreseeable future potential and his own profound background.

This includes the gifts that Guer offered to Saine.

It wasn't Guer who paid for it out of his own pocket; it was an investment from the Jobs Family.

The Jobs Family, with its top-tier Demigod-level powerhouse and deep-rooted wealth, wouldn't mind investing in a highly promising Level-1 Magician like Saine.

Who knows, the "insignificant" benefit that the Jobs Family is giving now might in the future earn them the friendship of a level three or higher Mage?

As an ancient family that has been based on the East Coast for over 20,000 years, the Jobs Family naturally has its own set of development philosophies.

Sure enough, in his subsequent conversations with Guer, Saine discovered that the guy's initial enthusiasm and overly familiar demeanor were all an act.

Guer is indeed a Knight who is easy to get along with, but according to his personality, he is not that "sweet" or enthusiastic.

As he accompanied Guer to his private estate, the man stroked his breastplate and let out a deep sigh of relief.

He doesn't particularly enjoy performing, but sometimes, being in that position, he has no choice but to do it. →

"Hey, that was my second uncle, a staid Mage."

"Back in the Knight Continent, I thought you were boring, but my second uncle was even more boring," Guer said, shaking his head.

The person Guer was referring to was the first person to greet Saine when he entered the Jobs Family castle; that person was a Second-Level Magician.

As Guer said, from beginning to end, Saine never said a word to the other party.

I knew that the other person also had the surname Steve Jobs, but I didn't expect that he was so closely related to Guer.

The Jobs Family developed and oversaw several human cities on the East Coast, including two exceptionally prosperous mega-cities with Floating Skyport.

In terms of economic strength, the Jobs Family is probably stronger than the Saine Luluman, who built the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Therefore, never underestimate anyone.

Since Guer was able to enter the Knight Continent to participate in the trials, his family must be quite extraordinary.

Although Guer had been overly enthusiastic, he was indeed much more active Saine.

Most of the time, it was Guer who did the talking, while Saine would just nod and agree, rarely expressing his own opinion.

As they approached the manor in Guer, the late-stage level Knight said with a bitter face, "This time, I was so focused on finding the Inheritance Secret Realm in the Knight Continent Trial Area that I neglected to collect certain resources required by the family."

"Saine, can you help me? If you have those resources, our Jobs Family will definitely buy them at a premium, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied!" Guer looked at Saine expectantly.

So that's where the focus was.

When asked about Guer's request, Saine didn't rush to respond, but instead asked him what specific resources he needed.

After receiving Guer's reply, Saine breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement to his request.

The resources that Guer requested to purchase from Saine were all unique to the Knight Continent.

These resources are common on the Knight Continent, but they are almost impossible to grow outside of the Knight Continent.

Saine collected a considerable number of such specimens, so distributing some to the Guer and Jobs Family was not a big deal.

After receiving Saine's reply, Guer visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He patted Saine on the shoulder with a smile, a gesture that was clearly more sincere than before.

"I've prepared a gift for you; I guarantee you'll like it."

"There was one that I originally had my eye on, but my family insisted on giving it to you, saying that I should abstain from sex for a while."

"You're going to have a good time," Guer said to Saine with a wink.

As expected, the gift the Jobs Family prepared for Saine was indeed A Great Gift.

This is a gift that would even tempt Second-Level Magician.

Just that long list of gifts alone takes quite a while to read.

In the end, Saine used two Space Ring to barely contain the generous gift from the Jobs Family.

This doesn't even include the premium he'll gain from the resources that Saine is about to trade with the Jobs Family.

The Jobs Family understood what Mage like Saine needed. The gifts they prepared didn't contain rare or precious materials; instead, they included local magical materials unique to the East Coast, as well as some special materials from Alien Plane that the Jobs Family had obtained through trade Alliance Plane.

Saine had never seen 90% of these materials before; he had only heard of some or seen related magic illustrations.

Therefore, how could Saine not be satisfied with this gift?

As for the deal between Saine and the Jobs Family, there's no rush.

The Jobs Family has already sent someone over, and regarding the details of the transaction, the Jobs Family does not want to limit themselves to the few points that Guer had just mentioned.

How many rare materials did Saine obtain in the Knight Continent Trial Zone, and how many of them could be traded with the Jobs Family?

Guer is a master at cultivating Battle Qi.

However, in the field of material collection, the Jobs Family's top brass wished they could strangle this spendthrift son.

After visiting the Knight Continent Trial Area, Guer returned with virtually nothing.

If it weren't for his blind stumble upon a hidden, small-scale Inheritance Secret Realm and the things he obtained from it...

It seems the Jobs Family might consider cutting off the highest percentage of resources allocated to him among the family's top members. "What's going on?" After taking stock of the gifts the Jobs Family had given him, Saine pointed at the fox woman in front of him and asked.

This is a delicate girl who is 1.6 meters tall and has a pale golden fox tail. Her two small ears twitch slightly, indicating that she is not a creature from the Wizard World.

"Oh, this is a fox maiden from the Orc World! Isn't she beautiful?"

"You may not know this, but fox girls from the Orc World are a highly sought-after resource in our Wizard World."

"Their beauty is no less than that of elves Mermaid."

"Fox clan virgins are worth twice as much, as they possess certain special racial abilities."

"What's even rarer is that this Little Fox Girl is also a Shaman Priest."

"Although she's just a low-level Wind Whisper Priest," Guer said to Saine, who seemed to know quite a lot.

As a Knight, Guer possessed a far greater knowledge base than a learned Mage like Saine.

Guer's knowledge of the Beast Race fox woman was naturally due to the woman's preferences.

Furthermore, from Guer's words, Saine deduced that the East Coast Jobs Family, as a powerful business family, not only engaged in traditional Resource Trade, but also had considerable achievements in the slave trade.

The Jobs Family has cooperative relationships with several member worlds of the Wizard Alliance that engage in large-scale slave trade.

The Orc World is the most important partner in the Jobs Family's slave biological trade.

It was precisely because of their long-term and close cooperative trade with a certain lord in the Orc World that the Jobs Family was able to obtain fox virgins, such a high-end commodity.

What's even more remarkable is that this little fox girl is also a Priest.

Priest are a unique profession in the Orc World, and their status there is equivalent to that of Mage in the Orc World Wizard World.

I wonder which orc lord was so audacious?

The Jobs Family must have had connections to the highest levels, even managing to sell orc Priest as slaves.

The Orc World is inhabited by gods, even so-called rulers.

It is an important Member Planes of the Wizard Alliance, and its foundation is a Large World.

Once the Priest attacked, no matter how powerful the orc lord was, he would inevitably be burned to a pile of charred bones by the divine fire within the Orc Temple.

However, on the other hand, the rules of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall in the Wizard World Wizard World can be implemented with unparalleled strictness.

However, in the Orc World, the Divine Law promulgated by those Beast God may not be so well enforced.

This is closely related to the complex development history of the Orc World and the mutual encroachment between different orc pantheons.

In the Orc World, buying and selling creatures from this plane is legal.

This is also the largest export commodity from which the Orc World receives a massive amount of Magic Coin each year from the Wizard Alliance.

Are you treating your fellow human beings in this dimension as commodities to be bought and sold?

Tsk tsk, only an ignorant race and civilization like the Orc World would do something like that.

Knight and Mage, including Saine, were beneficiaries and naturally couldn't say anything.
