Air Force Bro's words set Lin Yuan thinking.
Indeed, Research Institute 3154 had once told him that to become an Artisan, he needed to find an object carrying Artisan-type Transcendent Power. If his affinity was compatible, he could absorb it and gain the corresponding power.
If that was the case, everyone should have been searching for objects carrying Transcendent Power.
But whether it was the "Research Institute," the "Press Club," the "Consortium," the "Adventurer Group," or the "Black Blood Society," they clearly focused on their own fields rather than pursuing objects carrying Transcendent Power too intently.
This was most obvious with the Research Institute and the Adventurer Group. They practically cared about nothing but research and adventure.
Combined with Air Force Bro's remark that "players in organizations follow a different path from solo players," this gave him even more to think about.
Clearly, an organization was more than just a group made up of many people. It had a deeper meaning.
But Lin Yuan would have to uncover exactly what that meant over time.
Meanwhile, Air Force Bro finished his last few remarks:
"The Black Blood Society asked if I wanted to join, too, but I'm not that interested in fighting. Fishing suits me better, so I turned them down. I don't know what the deal is with players in organizations, either."
"I've pretty much eaten through everything I got from that instance. Zero, my man, you really came through just in time. Everything I can sell right now is here. Just tell me what catches your eye. The price is negotiable!"
With that, Air Force Bro sent over a string of pictures, one after another.
Most showed ordinary materials and personal equipment of little use, along with all sorts of rare fish, but none of these interested Lin Yuan.
