Chapter 559: Chapter 305: The Protagonist Leaves the Team, I Am Your Uncle!_2

"Sure, but to form an adventure group, you need at least five adventurers. Including me, that’s four more. Uncle, do you have any recommendations?" Rein asked.

"Oh, no, you recruit your own members. Just make sure they’re willing to share weal and woe with you," Gu Shanhai cautioned, knowing well that Rein didn’t have much to offer.

But to Rein’s ears, it was a reminder not to get involved with ungrateful people again.

"I will take the recruitment seriously, but it might take some time," Rein sighed, aware that it was not easy to find teammates under his circumstances.

If it were just forming a group, that would be one thing. The problem was that he wanted to take the group to another city, and that requirement stumped many people since small adventure teams usually didn’t operate across cities.

"Can’t believe you left the group, Rein. Those women really don’t have any sense."

"If you don’t mind, I can join your adventure group."

A bold female voice came through.

The two turned to look, only to see a woman about two and a half meters tall, with red skin and bulging muscles, with Demon horns on her head, walking over with a giant sword on her back.

Gu Shanhai immediately recognized the woman’s background. She was a Demon Giant Swordsman, a high-ranking profession, even stronger than the Blood Moon Werewolf he had.

"Vier? Haven’t you always worked alone?" Rein obviously knew her. He had once saved her life. Later, he occasionally sold her potions and equipment, and the two had become fair-weather friends. He thought it was just a business relationship, never expecting she would be willing to join him.

"Well... it’s just that I see you’re alone. I’ll hang with you for a bit," the Demon Giant Swordsman named Vier said bravely, but it sounded a bit off to Gu Shanhai.

This had to be the real harem scene.

"Alright, but I won’t be settling in Sen Cui City, so you need to think it over," Rein said, not sensing anything amiss, maintaining the same attitude as before in their interactions.

"No problem, it’s all the same to me wherever I go."

"By the way, do you need a mage? I know a Little Elf Element Master. I think you know her too," Vier spoke up.

"You mean Lina? Isn’t she with the Hurricane Adventure Group? Withdrawing would require a penalty fee, right? That’s a significant expense. Let’s forget about it," Rein was thinking he would like to, but he didn’t have the money.

He didn’t have a penalty fee to pay simply because he hadn’t left the group voluntarily but had been expelled, and so the Green Light Adventure Team didn’t dare ask him for one.

"How much?" Gu Shanhai interjected.

"With Lina’s value, the penalty fee would be at least 100,000 Divine Power Coins. But I think Lina and I can come up with that amount," Vier responded.

"That’s too much. Besides, Lina is in..."

"I have enough. Do you think this’ll cover it?" Before Rein could finish, Gu Shanhai casually pulled out a Divine Power Coin with a million-unit denomination.

Of course, the value of Divine Power Coins wasn’t judged by their number but by their denomination.

So although it’s also a single Divine Power Coin, there’s a significant difference in value.

Rein looked at Gu Shanhai with a strange expression, having never imagined an ordinary person could casually produce a million-denominational Divine Power Coin.

"Uncle, where did you get this?" Rein asked oddly.

"Picked it up on the road," Gu Shanhai replied confidently.

The looks on their faces grew even stranger. How could someone possibly find a million on the road? It was more likely that Gu Shanhai was fobbing them off, reluctant to disclose the source.

"This is too valuable. I..."

```

"I’ll just lend it to you, give it back to me later," Gu Shanhai added another sentence.

Rein carefully accepted it and expressed that he would definitely repay Gu Shanhai double in the future.

He knew that when he was down on his luck, receiving help from someone was a huge blessing, especially since the other party supported him unconditionally. At this point, his last bit of doubt about Gu Shanhai vanished. To actually harm him, how could he give him a million Divin Power Coins?

"You’re too polite if you say you’ll pay me back. Just tell me whatever you need; if it’s not enough, just ask for more, I still have plenty," Gu Shanhai also instructed.

"That’s right, just like you’re thinking, if you have good teammates willing to follow you, go ahead and recruit them. I’ll pay the breach of contract fees."

Gu Shanhai indicated that he had money, and he wasn’t worried.

Divine Power Coins are essentially a product of energy aggregation, and after Gu Shanhai finished studying Divine Power and with his new identity, he could easily create a vast amount of Divine Power Coins through Mana.

So for him, these things really aren’t worth much.

He’s someone with a Spirit Vein in his body, plus the resources of a hundred thousand Heart Demon Dao Soldiers, he could even create billions of Divine Power Coins.

Rein quickly made plans for the million Divine Power Coins in his mind. To say it’s a lot would definitely be true, but when it actually comes to using them, there are indeed some limitations.

"It’s enough, I can’t let Uncle pay for me," Rein said. He wasn’t ungrateful; for an average adventurer, a million Divine Power Coins were a lot.

"What’s there to be polite about, we’re all family. You guys go redeem people first, I’ll go rent a house. It’s not so easy to gather all the teammates," Gu Shanhai was generous, after all, it really wasn’t worth much to him.

Moreover, if the protagonist really manages to gather his harem group, it would be like obtaining extra enhancement for the lucky charm.

When it’s time to help Gu Shanhai clear the five adventure lands, the efficiency will also be faster. What he spent was just some Mana.

Just looking at the case with the Demon Giant Swordsman Vier, these harem members aren’t just showpieces; each certainly has their own strength.

And with a disposition that wasn’t born of a pampered life, by the look of it, they all emerged from various battles.

"Cough, seize the opportunity well!" Gu Shanhai quietly reminded, though he didn’t specify whom he was talking to.

Vier understood what he meant and looked delighted, while Rein took it as Gu Shanhai encouraging him to climb higher.

Gu Shanhai, accompanied by Little White, slowly left, while Rein went with Vier to the Hurricane Adventure Group to find the Little Elf Element Master Lina.

"This world really is a mix of everything," Gu Shanhai muttered to himself.

Rein’s name is Lei En, resembling that of Easterners; hence his father’s name is Lei Batian. Meanwhile, Vier is a bona fide Westerner, though she’s not blonde and blue-eyed, because her occupation as a Demon Giant Swordsman has changed her skin color and physical appearance.

Occupations with bloodline tendencies naturally impact a person, so in reality, Vier should now be considered part of the Demon Race, and not purely human.

If someone used the Blood Moon Werewolf job-change certificate, then they would also become a Werewolf.

"Hope it’s quick, best if it could be solved within a month," Gu Shanhai pondered. Then again, he only needed two more adventurers, and Rein’s adventure group could be registered.

An adventure group needs a blessing from the gods and a Divine Contract, but it’s possible to add clauses, like breach of contract fees.

After that, a unique group can be formed, akin to an official team-up, that would receive some benefits and privileges, etc. Otherwise, if you just verbally agree to team up, it generally has no force. If the other party stabs you in the back, there will be no punishment. But if you have the blessing of the gods as a witness, it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Gu Shanhai estimated a month, which was actually quite short. He realized that Rein, due to being ousted from his group, was especially cautious in selecting members for his adventure group. That is why he didn’t hesitate to let Vier join since they were acquaintances. If it was someone else, there would definitely be a screening process.

He was very picky himself; if it wasn’t for repaying a debt, he wouldn’t look twice at the members of the Green Light Adventure Team due to their low standards.

And screening, naturally, takes time.
