Chapter 49
Chapter 49: The Creation Guild, the Unapproachable Epic Task!
The next day.
Su Bai woke up and checked his phone; it was June 27th, with only five days left until the entrance examination on July 1st.
He didn’t delay.
After observing the Heavenly Origin World in the starry sea for a while,
he discovered that after a night of time acceleration, it had already grown to 320 kilometers.
All others were safe and sound,
and he noted that his Creation Value remained at 8000.
Su Bai took the silver brain demon chip and the miraculous eye drops he had extracted yesterday, carefully placing them in his backpack before heading out.
..
The Creation Guild’s building was located in the bustling central square of Guangcheng.
Surrounded by fountains and artificial lakes, the environment was excellent.
Inside, there were a hundred floors, with luminous glass flooring, exceedingly luxurious.
The reception outside was staffed by several beautiful waitresses, all fair-skinned and beautiful.
“Welcome! How may I assist you today?”
As soon as Su Bai got out of the car, a charming woman with curly chestnut hair, wearing a white shirt and a short working skirt, greeted him with a smile.
He glanced around.
There were quite a few people early in the morning,
mostly professionals with impressive demeanours.
Those who came here were at least second-tier creators.
His youthful appearance made him seem somewhat out of place.
As he followed the female manager into the building, Su Bai was even more astonished.
The chandeliers were made of glowing gems, and the floor utilized high-tech projections, creating dazzling effects with each step.
In the welcoming hall, each guest had a beautiful attendant dedicated to them.
The most prominent feature was a gigantic screen, ten meters high,
with continuously scrolling text displaying various worlds and tasks.
Su Bai glanced up and was immediately struck when he casually read about the purification task at the forefront.
[Beastification Demon Star (Epic Task): A fifth-tier planet where a senior professor from the Starry Sky University fell; all the bio-beasts he cultivated have been demonized, doubling their combat power, with at least one child of the world possessing epic strength. Thirty creators have already challenged and fallen. Rewards: 10 billion Huaxia Coins, or resources of equal value, 1 million contribution points (can be used for discounts on items in major malls). It is recommended that challengers be at least fifth-tier minor planets, preferably sixth-tier senior minor planets.]
[Skeleton Dead Realm (Advanced Epic Task): An intermediate plane inadvertently discovered during human exploration. So far, two epic skeletal kings have been discovered, with over a million skeleton soldiers under their command. They do not fear death, and their soul flames are exceptionally strong, making them a grave threat to humanity. It is suggested that soul and supernatural creators take on this challenge. At least a sixth-tier planet is required. Rewards…]
Reading the first few tasks made the hair on his neck stand up; these were tasks he could not currently accept!
The refreshing details of the tasks indicated their difficulty.
In contrast, the lower-level tasks at the bottom of the screen, D-level and C-level, were being refreshed rapidly,
with people occasionally accepting them.
Seeing Su Bai’s confusion,
the beautiful manager quickly explained, “This is your first time at the guild building, so you might not be familiar. We are a global network. Tasks from the Human Alliance are distributed to every city, so many people accept tasks.”
“Sir, what level of task would you like to take?”
“Well, there’s no rush on that. I remember you have a resource recycling service here. Please help me evaluate and price a special product first.”
Su Bai smiled as he took out a batch (100 vials) of miraculous eye drops from his backpack.
After repeated concoction by the Eye Demons,
the effectiveness of the eye drops had increased a hundredfold, with various miraculous uses when applied to the eyes.
He also wanted to understand the market price.
Seeing the business opportunity, the beautiful manager smiled.
As she led Su Bai to the counter, she explained,
“In the building, floors 2 to 30 are for transport devices, and floors 31 to 50 are the commercial trading area.
There, representatives from all over the world purchase resources. As for the upper floors, they are relaxation and entertainment areas, featuring the best bars and restaurants in Guangcheng. You can experience them later.”
The manager also stated that their alliance would use an appraisal device to determine the approximate value of the items.
“You can choose whom to trade with freely, or you can sell directly to the Human Alliance.”
Saying this, she led Su Bai into a transparent elevator.
During the ride, Su Bai learned that her name was Miss Xing,
who had also studied at Guangcheng No. 1 High School but unfortunately had a failed awakening.
Now, she was a lobby manager.
This was considered doing well; many of the reception waitresses outside sometimes had to endure patron’s ridicule and could only force a smile.
The 31st floor was obviously much livelier.
The well-known companies he had seen at school all had shops set up here.
The most notable were the numerous appraisal machines scattered throughout.
Various beautiful managers helped guests with appraisals and negotiations, and they earned commissions as well.
Just as Miss Xing was appraising a vial of miraculous eye drops,
a surprised voice suddenly rang out.
“Isn’t this Su from Class Three? You’re here too?”
Su Bai turned in surprise.
To his astonishment, it was a staff member from the Diqi Group he had seen twice before, once at the awakening ceremony and again at school yesterday; he hadn’t expected to see him here.
“Your business is quite extensive.”
Su Bai remarked.
“Ah, I’m just running errands. Did you come here to appraise your specialty, make a deal, or are you interested in exploring other worlds?”
He wore a face of flattery.
Pointing to a corner of the hall where a server was busy pouring tea and cleaning, he introduced,
“That’s the little Wang who offended you a few days ago. I heard he was demoted here to be someone’s assistant.”
Su Bai glanced over and indeed recognized him.
At that time, little Wang was at least a minor manager, able to recruit students at the school.
In just a few days, he had been brought down to this position, serving as a waiter.
The state of the world is harsh, prompting reflection.
