Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 673 - 595 Meeting

At this time, the second floor of the Guild, previously the meeting rooms have all been moved here.

Kane found a small meeting room and walked in.

The whole meeting room was also widened a bit, and Kane waited here for the others to arrive.

"The Guild has gotten bigger," Liruru said as she flew in from the door.

Didn't expect Liruru to be the first one to come in.

Even though Liruru is invited to every meeting, she is basically uninterested in these matters and never voices her opinions or views.

But the content of the meetings indeed gets imprinted in Liruru's mind, and it surfaces when she needs it.

Liruru flew over, and just as she was about to sit on Kane's shoulder, she suddenly flew up with a hum for some reason. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Finally, she flew to a spot directly facing Kane and sat on the edge of the table with her back turned.

?

What's going on? Have I offended her somehow?

Kane wondered curiously, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

So he gave up.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Kreya, Burton, and the others came in, then sat down in their respective seats one by one.

Seeing everyone was present, Kane nodded and then stood up and addressed everyone.

"I called you here mainly to let you consider and revise some of the Guild's future systems. Now it's time to truly start recruiting personnel externally; do you have any thoughts? Feel free to speak."

Upon hearing Kane's words, everyone began to ponder.

The first to speak was Adoma, after all, she manages or handles most of the Guild's affairs.

She interacts the most with the Guild members as well.

"First, it's still the previous topic, Magic Stone as a contribution point is somewhat too large. We need to construct a unit slightly smaller than Magic Stone to allow exchange between the two."

"Adopting the contribution points specifically designed for the Knight Order universally is actually the best, allowing contribution points to be exchanged with Magic Stones."

Hearing Adoma's suggestion, Kane began to contemplate.

The reason they didn't do this before was entirely because, at that time, the quantity of Magic Stones couldn't support such a system.

Adopting this system requires storing a certain amount of Magic Stones at the beginning for Guild members to exchange.

When the time comes, and every Guild member starts acquiring Magic Stones, then they have the capability to convert them mutually.

At this time, a good cycle can be entered.

Especially back then, the members of the Knight Order only had contribution points, and they simply couldn't acquire any Magic Stones.

The members of the Knight Order, however, accounted for the vast majority of the Guild personnel.

Now such a system reform can indeed be carried out, as once the World Ring is opened, the members of the Knight Order will also go to battle, and by then, they will be able to acquire Magic Stones too.

Thinking of this, Kane looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone have any opinions on this proposal, or any suggestions for improvement? If not, let's put this proposal on the agenda."

Everyone shook their heads, knowing that this proposal had already been discussed several times before, but they couldn't implement it due to some circumstances at the time.

"Since we've established contribution points, we can now start recycling and selling Equipment. Adoma, there's a piece of equipment at the front desk that can be used for appraisals. Let Lamp calculate a normal price then."

"However, that appraisal equipment definitely isn't as clear as appraising Scrolls, but distinguishing the specific grade and effects of some Equipment is still not a problem."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Adoma nodded.

That appraisal machine is actually a piece of furniture in the Guild Hall, but it just requires a lot of Magic Stones. Kane took advantage of having some Silver Magic Stones in hand to exchange it then.

This machine, which can be used for unlimited appraisals, is just right for appraising some junk Equipment.

After all, the appraisal data is limited, and it can only roughly distinguish strength and limited attributes.

Appraising some common Equipment with these attributes is entirely sufficient, but for the more advanced ones, of course, appraisal Scrolls are used.

After all, appraisal Scrolls aren't too expensive.

"Now to the second question, recruiting more Guild members. Should we prioritize quality or quantity?"

This is an issue that needs to be resolved now, representing whether they will be more relaxed or more stringent in interviews with those wishing to join in the future.

Faced with this question, everyone could not help but discuss intensely.

Because quality and quantity, for Kane and his team, cannot be achieved at the same time now.

It's already a stage where the World Ring is about to open, and almost all forces are recruiting new members.

Kane and his team now find it relatively challenging to recruit new members.

Although the various welfare programs of their Guild are extremely attractive, these things cannot be widely advertised, or it might bring about some unnecessary trouble.

Even if it is truly advertised, others will most likely consider it false propaganda, considering their Battle Group is relatively unknown.

However, despite being a newly created Guild, adding Kane and their reputation, surely it could still attract some people to come in.

The problem is that among those attracted, the vast majority certainly won't meet Kane and his team's requirements.

Talented people and powerful people would of course prefer to join some stronger power rather than a newly established one.

Quality and quantity are the problems Kane and his group are facing right now.

The demand comes because once you join the Guild, you can obtain some materials to recharge Magic Stones while exploring the Dungeon again.

But this doesn't guarantee they'll bring you many useful materials; most will certainly be Copper.

And at this time, one has to face the issue of the usage of the Spring of Rebirth.

These less capable Explorers have an extremely high mortality rate. The Explorer profession incurs a high mortality rate entirely due to these less capable individuals.

Once there are too many inferior members, the Spring of Rebirth will surely be filled with all sorts of waiting souls.

If such a problem arises, would Kane and his group personally spend Magic Stones and energy to resurrect them?

If not resurrected, what would the other members think?

Once resurrected, can it ensure that these members can earn back the cost of their resurrection?

After dying once, it's hard to guarantee they won't quit the Explorer profession outright.

Alternatively, after dying once, thinking that resurrection is so convenient, they may act even more recklessly.

Do not underestimate the base nature of intelligent creatures; this is an unavoidable problem.

The weaker one's strength, the more likely various problems will arise.

Kane and his group madly discussed these issues; they must consider every aspect, after all, recruiting Guild members is not to be taken lightly.

"The most important point is that the Guild's member capacity is limited, yet we already have the Lantern Knight Order's members."

"They are numerous and almost at the mid-level of Explorers in strength. They are well-trained, disciplined, and not afraid of death, truly trained for war. Not to mention their team cooperation and the configuration of various professions are very well-rounded.

The reason we previously overlooked them is because within the World Ring, they couldn't explore the Dungeon and thus couldn't bring much direct profit to the Guild.

But we must know that the reason we established the Guild and focused on quantity to recruit more Explorers is to explore the World Ring?"

"In the coming years, most of our time will be spent in the World Ring, and with thousands of Lantern Knight Order members already there, it means we have the quantity. Now we should focus more on strength."

Kreya's words almost convinced everyone present.

After a period of debate, it was found that focusing on quantity indeed had little advantage, especially for them now. Focusing on strength is indeed better.

After all, every function of their Guild only makes the strong stronger and does not make the weak stronger unless they are personally nurtured by the Guild.

And now, Copper Magic Stones and Silver Magic Stones can no longer provide a significant enhancement for Kane and his group.

"If that's the case, then when recruitment begins, the standard should be raised, with the strength threshold based on the Lantern Knight Order. Recruits must be stronger than them," Kane said.

After all, if their strength is weaker than the Lantern Knight Order, there's absolutely no need to recruit them, it's a complete waste of a slot.

After that, they also discussed some details, and this meeting then ended.

After a while, Kane and his group sat at Burton's bar.

As for the women, they all went off to handle room renovations and select furniture.

"Wow, haven't been in for a few days, how did the Guild Hall become so big?"

Raphael's voice came from behind.

Kane and his group turned to look and saw the Raphael Squad and others observing the newly expanded Guild Hall.

Seeing Raphael walking over, Kane smiled and said, "Looks like you've all been promoted to Gold, congratulations!"

Kane had already noticed their strength, and as expected, they had all been promoted to Gold.

After all, Raphael and his group are considered geniuses, just not as exaggerated as Kane and his group.

The current Guild has a total of four Explorer squads.

The most talented, without a doubt, is Kane's squad. Next is Funa's squad; their talent is actually a notch higher than Raphael's squad.

At the bottom is Amis's squad, but even Amis's squad is considered among the top in the Explorer rank in terms of talent.

"Hahaha, it was just luck, just luck," Raphael said with a laugh.

The Demon teammate Kafka walked by from the side, gave Raphael a sideways glance, and mocked, "Indeed it was luck, you didn't get that wrong."

Hearing his teammate's words, Raphael suddenly shut his mouth, veins bulging on his forehead.

After that, the few of them sat at the bar, drinking and casually chatting.

"Didn't expect you guys to reach Gold before us, sigh, is this what talent is," Raphael said helplessly, sipping his light drink.

The last time they saw Kane and his group, they heard they were still exploring in the Dungeon. They didn't expect that the next time they saw Kane and his group, they had already been promoted to Gold.

Indeed, you can't compare people like that.

Kane smiled and asked, "So, are you planning to take a break now and wait for the World Ring to open?"

Raphael nodded, "The span of being promoted to Golden Power is quite large, so we need to take some time to grasp the newly acquired strength again. By then, there might not be time for new Dungeon explorations."

Hearing Raphael's words, Kane nodded and then said, "In a few days, the Guild's new member recruitment will take place. If you have good candidates, you can inform them to come. I believe my Guild won't disappoint."

"Of course, if I pull them in and they really join this Guild, knowing the Guild's benefits, they'd definitely kneel to thank me, hahaha."

"Hahaha, you're exaggerating there."

Then the group of men happily drank and chatted.
