Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 484 - 445: Membership Skyrockets

Kane originally wanted to close the [Book of Adventure] but had to open it again to check new expansion features.

This time, the new expansion wasn’t a subcategory but a new category altogether.

[Instructor]

It happened to be exactly the same as the role he had just devised, and the appearance of this new category definitely had something to do with Bonona.

It could only be described as fate.

Kane clicked to view the details of this new category.

This thing requires 10 Magic Stones? What an astonishing feature.

The Instructor can allow Kane to position certain highly skilled guild members in this role.

Any guild member with a lower ability can seek guidance from those with the Instructor title, gaining a learning speed bonus in that ability.

In other words, Kane can appoint himself as an Instructor, making it easier and faster for others to accept and learn the mechanical skills he imparts.

The same applies to Kreya Longbei and others.

For example, Kreya could be appointed as an Instructor to train Kane in Close Combat Techniques.

As long as Kane’s Close Combat Techniques do not surpass Kreya’s, he can learn consistently and intensely from Kreya.

This feature is worth the price, although it doesn’t show immediate significant effects.

It’s a long-term development feature, gradually enhancing guild members’ abilities over time.

It’s definitely useful, certainly worth acquiring, but as always, funds are tight and it’s not needed now.

Each time a new feature appears, it’s a mockery of Kane’s current wallet state.

It’s as if these expansion features are speaking.

"Why bother looking, poor thing, stop opening it."

Sigh, it’s time to work harder!

Kane invited Bonona to join the guild with another motive in mind.

He wanted to see if someone who hasn’t become a citizen under Mist’s command could join the guild, and he’s now got a definitive answer.

Bonona’s detailed information is quite impressive.

[Bonona]

[Elemental Shooter]

[Level: Silver 99%]

[Martial Skills: Sniping, Forest Sword Dance]

[Magic Skills: Elemental Enchantment, Elemental Trap]

[Craft: Culinary Skill (Intermediate), Enchantment (Intermediate)] (Can permanently enchant items and equipment with various Magic Materials, limited to low-level Magic Power enchantments.)

[Bloodline: Tree Spirit] (A bloodline not naturally possessed by humans, artificially created bloodline.

Improves the holder’s Constitution, enhancing Constitution, Strength, and Spirit, with a certain level of magic aptitude.)

[Skill Grid: Empty] (Unrecognized by Mist, sealed.)

[Origin Skills: Empty] (Unrecognized by Mist, sealed.)

Bonona’s strength can almost rival Explorers in the outside world, provided she is equipped with items matching her ability.

But currently, she’s unauthorized and can’t use any equipment.

Many Explorers, if stripped of all equipment, are roughly equal to Elite Monsters in the Dungeon in terms of raw strength.

Explorers excel because they usually explore dungeons as groups, and once reaching silver level, they are typically adorned with various Magic Equipment.

The distinction lies in the quality of their Equipment.

While Dungeon monsters, at best, might have weapons or a piece or two of Magic Equipment.

Bonona’s information showing Silver 99% caught Kane by surprise.

Although he could see Bonona was at a silver bottleneck, he did not expect such an exact bottleneck.

This is too much a bottleneck phase.

Once Bonona regains her freedom, even exploring a random dungeon could upgrade her to Golden.

Currently, it’s as if she’s separated from a Golden rank by a transparent glass, yet due to world restrictions, this glass is incredibly strong.

But the Golden landscape is within reach.

How unbearable it must be! Kane couldn’t even bear the thought.

But it didn’t diminish Kane’s inner joy, since once the World Ring opens, his guild would gain a Golden-level combat power!

How could this not bring happiness?

Outside, Kane couldn’t call his guild a guild but a Battle Group.

There are very few people at the Golden level without any organization; they’d either join a major power or establish their own Battle Group.

Individuals not yet attached to a power are unlikely to join Kane’s guild.

So obtaining Golden-level combat power, Kane and his team can only rely on self-development.

Fortunately, the guild’s expansion features are excellent, and Kane doesn’t worry about nurturing members.

Since Bonona has been brought into the guild, Kane also planned to bring his other subordinates into it.

They have all become Spirits of Freedom, and it would be a waste not to bring them in, especially when they are loyal to him.

"Rosalie, go call your sisters and Kallen to come outside."

Hearing Kane’s words, Rosalie nods and heads straight through the tent’s fabric, stepping outside.

Soon, Kane felt Rosalie bringing other girl soldiers outside the tent.

Kane approached these girl soldiers, opened the [Book of Adventure], and clicked on each of their avatars to invite them into the guild.

"Don’t panic, just accept. I’m the one inviting you."

After saying that, Kane heard notifications for new members joining, one after another.

He also set two new positions.

[Maid Corps] [Assassin Team]

Of course, he didn’t grant them any authority initially, planning to set that when more features become available in the future.

The regular guild members and Kane’s subordinates needed to be distinguished.

They could all be regarded as Kane’s loyal followers.

Kane first flipped to the guild page to see if the plus sign was highlighted, but despite adding so many members at once, there was no new function expansion, which was indeed strange.

Then came the stamping activity.

The Ghost Maids were quite fond of the lantern symbol that resembled their shapes.

They even once thought Kane had customized it just for them.

They were overjoyed.

In the end, 10 Ghost Maids chose the color that matched the color of their own lanterns.

Meanwhile, the Dark Servants all selected the same dark red color, stamping it all beneath their clothing.

Afterward, Kane went straight beside the soldiers’ tents.

He had Abby gather the soldiers who had become Spirits of Freedom; Kane intended to pull everyone into the guild at once.

"I’m going to invite you to join the guild now. Don’t panic, just nod and agree."

After saying that, Kane invited them one by one on the Book of Adventure.

Notifications of new members joining continued to ring in his ears.

After completing all this, the stamping activity resumed.

Based on each soldier’s preferences, the stamps were placed on various parts.

Perhaps seeing Kane’s chosen positions, they all stamped on various exposed skin areas.

They felt proud to be in the same guild as their loyalty point.

Kane started to check their detailed information.

[Abby]

[Bow Rider]

[Level: Silver 51%]

[Martial Skill: Bow Mastery, soldier swordsmanship]

[Magic Skill: Wind Element Enchantment (Low Level)] (Consumes magic power, slightly enhances weapon sharpness, increases attack speed, increases movement speed.)

[Skill: Horsemanship (Advanced)] (The warhorse feels like a true brother, stable on horseback.)

[Bloodline: None]

[Skill Grid: Empty] (Not recognized by the Mist, sealed.)

[Origin Skill: Empty] (Not recognized by the Mist, sealed.)

Looking at these attributes.

How should I put it, as expected?

Pretty much in line with Kane’s impression of the main monsters from the Silver Dungeon.

A Copper-tier Explorer, relying on Origin Skills and Equipment, could easily duel these soldiers back and forth.

Of course, the Origin Skills must be suited for combat.

The only commendable aspect of these soldiers might be their Silver-level physical fitness; nothing else notably stood out.

When he glanced at the plus sign beside him, sure enough, it lit up again. Adding so many guild members at once, new functionalities had to emerge.

Although Kane might not necessarily buy them, still they need to be there, right?

To see if there was a charge involved here?

Kane clicked on it.

This time, three feature expansions directly appeared.

Two of them were major sections, not sub-categories.

[Guild Hall] [Defender Army] [Store-Bottleneck Secret Medicine]

First was [Guild Hall], As Kane saw this, he suddenly realized what the guild system lacked, this feature felt just right.

Indeed, how can a guild go without a hall?

This function was exceptionally cheap, only requiring one Copper Magic Stone to unlock.

Why is it so kind-hearted? Kane felt a sudden sense of caution.

But he still took out one Copper Magic Stone to unlock it.

Perhaps because this is considered a basic feature, just like Enhancement.

The second [Defender Army] requires 5 Silver Magic Stones.

For this feature’s functionality, Kane suspected it was custom-designed.

The first requirement for joining the Defender Army was to maintain loyalty and allegiance to either the guild or the president.

For ordinary Explorers, how could they possibly be loyal to a guild?

In the eyes of most external Explorers, a guild is just a gathering of like-minded individuals.

Everyone works together toward a common goal or ideal.

It’s more about friendship and bonds.

Not hierarchy, and certainly not allegiance.

Joining the Defender Army allows for various strength enhancements and functionalities, the specifics need complete unlocking to be fully understood.

This feature expansion seems necessary to unlock before leaving the dungeon.

The final new feature expansion is the only sub-category.

[Store-Bottleneck Secret Medicine] The name of this item already tells its function.

The unlock cost is also 10 Silver Magic Stones, but Kane feels it’s totally worth the cost.

Its function allows guild members to 100% breakthrough bottlenecks but can only be used once.

One must know Explorers face bottlenecks, some are born to only reach Copper-tier, others Silver-tier.

This secret medicine allows them a forced breakthrough once.

If Kane were to spread this news, those stuck at bottlenecks would flood to join his guild.

He could even leap to be the largest Battle Group.

The medicine purchase isn’t exaggerated either, to upgrade from Copper to Silver, it only requires one Silver Magic Stone.

Silver upgrading to gold follows suit, requiring one Golden Magic Stone.

Why are such products appearing?

Kane believes it should be due to the guild reaching a certain membership of individuals with limited qualifications.

Who those individuals are, is already self-evident.
