Liangmin County's King of Showing Off, Part One

"???"

Cao Fengqi had just walked in, looked surprised when he heard the unfamiliar woman's words. He raised an eyebrow.

What's the meaning?

Do you look down on your own Artifact Refiner and Beast Shepherd professions?

Xiao Youya glanced at him and inwardly scoffed.

She glanced at the group of extraordinary individuals from Liangmin County, stood up, and introduced them, "This is Feng Qinglan, a Divine Marksman Mage Spirit String Hunter and Archer Mage from the Spark Guild, who is also one of the high-ranking members of the Spark Guild."

Hello everyone, please have a seat.

Feng Qinglan stood up, smiled slightly at everyone, and gestured.

The crowd looked at her with some curiosity, then smiled and sat down in a seat to the side.

They were aware of the other party's purpose before they came.

"Since you are all friends of Sister Youya, I'll be frank with you. Our Spark Guild would like to invite you to join us."

Feng Qinglan looked at them and said frankly, "Of course, we won't force you. I have some information here about the various forces in Tianbei Base City. You can take a look, just to get a general understanding beforehand."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a blue light floated in front of everyone, carrying documents that hovered in front of them.

"To be honest, you are all extraordinary individuals. You can receive good treatment by joining any faction, and the treatment from each faction is not too different."

"It's just that some extraordinary professions are more suited to a particular faction. For example, if you're Arcane Mage, the Arcane Mysteries Group would be a better choice because they have a lineage of Arcane Mage, making it easier to acquire spell skills by joining them."

"Joining the Great Xia government is also a good choice. Currently, the Great Xia government is the fairest force. As long as you have merit points, you can exchange them for treasures in the official treasury. Everything is based on merit points. However, the competition on the official side may be quite fierce, as there are more than 50,000 extraordinary professionals there."

"You are all friends of Sister Youya from the same county, so I won't hide some information from you. This document contains detailed information about all the forces in Tianbei Base City, and it's also information that you can easily buy once you get there."

"If any of you possess mysterious or rare extraordinary professions, or have reached the Transcendent Second Sequence strength and have over 50% experience points, please let me know. Joining our Spark Guild will grant you additional rewards."

Feng Qinglan smiled at everyone, her expression serene and nonchalant.

Her words and her honesty instantly won the favor of the group of extraordinary individuals in Liangmin County.

At least this high-ranking member of the Spark Guild didn't hide anything from them.

"Thank you, Miss Wind. Your honesty is truly admirable."

"Yes, Deputy County Magistrate Xiao must have joined the Spark Guild because of its good benefits; we will definitely give him priority consideration."

The two extraordinary individuals from Liangmin County spoke, casually offering a small compliment.

Thank you all for your trust.

Feng Qinglan smiled and nodded at them.

Her politeness was just right.

She had already learned about the extraordinary individuals in Liangmin County from Xiao Youya.

Aside from the Mad Whisper Prophet, there wasn't anything else that really caught her attention.

An extraordinary individual from a small county town, not a mysterious or rare extraordinary profession, whose strength wouldn't even rank among the top in Tianbei Base City.

It's not that she's discriminating; it's just the truth.

For example, Sister Youya told her that a young genius had emerged in their county, holding two extraordinary professions. She also learned that this young man was currently the strongest in the entire Liangmin County.

However, after learning about the two extraordinary professions, she was very disappointed.

The Artifact Refiner profession is the weakest among the extraordinary professions.

As for the mysterious and extraordinary profession of Beast Shepherd, it is not even as good as the Artifact Refiner.

According to the information she obtained from the books in the Lost Land, and the accounts of some extraordinary individuals who became Beast Shepherd in the Tianbei Base City, since the invasion of the evil god, evil energy has corrupted the beasts, making the beasts that could be contracted by Beast Shepherd extremely rare.

Since Beast Shepherd cannot form contracts with exotic beasts, that would almost completely cut off their path to becoming extraordinary individuals.

Even though he's been lucky enough to contract some exotic beasts, his future remains uncertain.

The strength of the entire Liangmin County be seen from the strongest person in the county.

Cao Fengqi glanced at the rude woman in front of him and opened the documents in front of him.

The official website of Great Xia, Spark Guild, Arcane Mysteries Group, Tianbei Transcendent Research Institute, Dragon Head Mountain, Shadow Organization, Blazing Fire Night Watch Guild, Oracle Guild...

Besides the official forces, there are more than a dozen other factions.

Some factions only recruit those with extraordinary professional skills, refusing to hire ordinary people.

"Many of these factions have their own advantages. Joining the Shadow Organization can grant you Strongman Technique. The Oracle Guild possesses knowledge of healing magic and has over a dozen alchemist-level extraordinary professionals..."

"The Spark Guild is a relatively balanced force. Extraordinary individuals who join can be allocated accommodation in the central area of Tianbei Base City, enjoy discounts on weapons for themselves and their families, and have access to the Warrior Academy which provides free education for extraordinary individuals and their relatives' descendants. They will also provide maps of the Lost Land, methods for dealing with evil beasts and spirits, and help them reunite with other extraordinary individuals..."

The people around watched, murmuring softly.

Those with extraordinary abilities receive preferential treatment and numerous benefits when joining any faction. When united, they are indeed powerful and can rapidly improve their abilities.

Of course, there will be tasks involved when you join.

Examples include keeping watch at night, gathering extraordinary individuals from the same region to explore together, and the minimum monthly merit-based tasks.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"There's no need to rush into a decision. You can take this document back and review it, and discuss it with each other. After all, this is not a trivial matter; once a contract is signed, there will be penalties for breach of contract."

Feng Qinglan looked at everyone and spoke.

"Miss Wind, I'd like to ask, is this Transcendent Shelter?"

A middle-aged man looked around curiously and asked, "What exactly is the Transcendent Shelter?"

"Transcendent Shelter?"

Feng Qinglan smiled and explained to them, "Simply put, to build a Transcendent Shelter, you need a special metal called Transcendent Source Metal. Source Metal has a unique property: it can absorb other metals to increase its level. It possesses Perfect ductility, Perfect capacity to withstand arcane and sorcery, Perfect adaptability to all Transcendent Emberfire, and Perfect malleability. Source Metal Source Metal is also known as the Source of Metal, making it the Perfect material for building Transcendent Shelter."

"However, this kind of Source Metal is extremely precious and rare; our entire Spark Guild doesn't even have a hundred Transcendent Shelter."

"Source Metal can only be obtained from the extremely wealthy noble families in the Lost Land."

After Feng Qinglan finished speaking, the burly, armored middle-aged man sitting to the side also spoke up, "But such noble residences often gather extremely terrifying evil spirits and beasts. It's very difficult for a single extraordinary being to conquer them. Only through cooperation between extraordinary beings can they possibly succeed. For you all, joining a faction would be beneficial and harmless."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this, naturally understanding the importance of cooperation among extraordinary professionals.

Simply put, an Arcane Mage with a Pact Blade Shield Guard teammate can increase their damage by at least 30% compared to playing alone.

The two combined are far greater than 2.

"What kinds of mysterious and rare extraordinary professionals are there?"

Another person asked a question out of curiosity.

"No one knows exactly how many extraordinary professions exist in the Lost Land, but the more common support types include Artifact Refiner and alchemists, while combat professions include Gloom Ruins Night Watchman, Pact Blade Shield Guard, Bone Blade Warrior, Blood Pact Hunter, Dark Night Executioner, Sword Bearer, and Arcane Mage. These professions account for eighty percent of the extraordinary individuals."

Feng Qinglan answered without hesitation.

"Beast Shepherd is not a common, extraordinary profession, so why is it said to have no future?"

Xiao Youxiu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"The Beast Shepherd Sequence is indeed a powerful Mystery Sequence, but unfortunately, it has been invaded by evil energy, turning the beasts into evil beasts, making them difficult to find as battle pets."

Feng Qinglan answered him.

Cao Fengqi chuckled upon hearing this. He had indeed seen this serious issue regarding the Beast Shepherd profession sequence in that diary.

But what does that have to do with me?

"The Beast Shepherd Sequence is unimportant to you, Fengqi."

Xiao Youya's gaze fell on him, and she said, "If you are interested in joining the Spark Guild, you can demonstrate your talent and skills as Artifact Refiner. You can make requests to Qinglan."

"Um?"

Her sudden remark surprised Feng Qinglan, and something came to mind.
