“Hmmm. That really does sound incredible.” Liam replied. “I would hate to miss out on such an opportunity, but unfortunately, it looks like I have to pass on this. I simply don’t have the required resources.” He bitterly smiled.
What is he doing? Alex couldn’t understand. Didn’t they come here exactly for this purpose to get more resources? Why was he sweet talking to this woman for so long?
“Don’t worry, Mr. Liam. We can always make special arrangements for special VIP customers like you.” The fairy blinked.
What… while Alex and Luna looked at the fairy in confusion, she snapped her fingers and produced a white-colored card.
“This is a store credit card. I am sure you are familiar with the concept. He He He.” She giggled flirtatiously. “With this, you can purchase whatever you want and then pay later at your own pace.”
“Oh?”
“We will only charge very low fees and interest rates. But I am sure these things do not matter to someone like you. With your level and your strength, you will be able to pay this off in no time, Mr. Liam. He He He.”
“Thank you, Miss Tilia. You are really kind to offer such special deals to us.” Liam smiled. “I am very grateful for your generosity.”
“Of course, Mr. Liam. I am here only to serve you.” She winked flirtatiously.
Alex almost choked on her saliva on hearing these scandalous words. Her frown deepened. Thankfully for her, this did not continue, as Liam asked the important question next.
“Miss Tilia, may I know how much the guild registration costs?”
“You don’t have to worry. It’s a small amount. Just a hundred million mana cores, Mr. Liam.”
Alex almost dropped her jaw on the ground and turned to look at Liam in shock. The other party, however, seemingly remained indifferent. It was almost as if he was agreeing with her.
Was a hundred million really a small amount? Are you serious? Would they ever be able to pay back such an insane amount?
Just the interest and late fees alone would be astronomical for such a huge amount! Moreover, was this just for guild registration?
This was clearly a credit card scam!
If the credit card did not exist, no one in their right mind would save up for something like this and pay it all at the same time when there were other powerful skills and items they could purchase.
Alex really wanted to punch someone to make sure that she was not having some sort of bizarre dream and that this was reality. Was Liam really going to make this purchase?
She didn’t have to wait long to know the answer to this. The next second, Liam nodded with a smile. “Ok, then. I will humbly accept your help. Please help me register the guild.”
Tilia smiled. “Excellent choice, Mr. Liam. I will begin the process right away. It will take some time, but I assure you that it will be worth the investment.”
“In the meantime, please feel free to browse our selection of special skills and other items. Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions.”
Alex, still in shock at the amount of money Liam was willing to spend, could only watch as the fairy began the process of registering the guild. She decided to remain quiet and let Liam handle the situation as he saw fit.
A few minutes later, the fairy closed her system interface and smiled at Liam once again. “All done, Mr. Liam. The guild is now officially registered. Please select a name, and please choose the guild leader.”
Liam did not hesitate and immediately answered. “The guild name will be Crimson Abyss, and I will be the guild leader.”
This was no longer the tutorial world, and there was no point in trying to lay low right now. This was an entirely different ballgame. Here, he planned to establish his strength unshakeably and build a solid foundation.
Alex swallowed as she watched the whole thing go down. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous about this, but at the same time, it was Liam doing this, so she couldn’t rule anything out.
After a few more formalities, which included Liam placing a drop of his blood on some sort of parchment, which then disappeared into light dust, the guild registration seemed to be finally completed.
“Everyone can register for the guild when they visit the shop.” Tilia beamed with a honey-coated smile.
Liam nodded. “Thank you for taking care of everything so quickly, Miss Tilia. I was wondering if I could use this credit card to purchase other skills as well?”
“Ah, I am afraid that wouldn’t be possible, Mr. Liam. You have already maxed out on the limit.” Tilia apologetically answered.
Liam smiled. He did not mind it because he had already expected this.
“Then, may I please bother you with something else? I would like to submit some quests.”
“Of course, Mr. Liam. I would be happy to help you with that too. Please follow me.”
As Liam, Alex and Luna walked along with the fairy, all the eyes in the shop were on them, not just the common folk who had wandered in here to figure out what this was but also the other fairies in the shop.
The fairies were discussing amongst themselves in hushed voices, whispering to each other about something.
“He He He. Don’t mind them, Mr. Liam. We are all just excited for you. In the entire world, you are the first person to establish a guild. Congratulations.” She winked. She then came to a stop in front of a simple desk in front of a bulletin board.
“To access the quests, you simply have to come and stand here. A system prompt should open up in front of you.” Tilia explained. “Please remember that you will be able to accept only one quest at a time.”
“Oh, I almost forgot. Since you are a necromancer, you can even make your minions work for you and finish the quests faster. You can pay off your credit card more quickly in this manner.” She winked.
Both Alex and Luna once again rolled their eyes in unison. This woman has no idea.
Liam, on the other hand, just smiled. “Thank you for the helpful tip, Miss Tilia.”
“Tee hee. You are always welcome, Mr. Liam.” The fairy once again giggled flirtatiously and then walked away with a bow, finally leaving the three to themselves.
She didn’t seem to be too intent on attending to these special guests any longer. She simply had an indifferent smile on her face, as if she had already gotten what she wanted.
