Chapter 567: Chapter 309: I Seem to Be More and More Like an NPC_2

However, these restrictions were not a problem for Gu Shanhai.

He could directly unlock the highest-level skills.

"It is indeed possible to do so, but we can’t just unlock skills for them randomly. They need to meet certain criteria."

The criteria Gu Shanhai mentioned were not about Rein and the others paying money or giving anything in particular, but about learning tasks, homework completion, exam results, and so on.

He could even produce modified equipment and items as incentives.

"I feel like I am becoming more and more like an NPC."

"Why then are there so few adventure lands that have been cleared when other Saints should also have this capability?"

Gu Shanhai’s thought process was normal. If the Saints used their abilities, not to mention anything else, just crafting an adventure team of a hundred people, each possessing a Divine Favored Profession at LV10 with all skills unlocked and top-notch equipment and items, they could steamroll through major adventure lands.

As for levels, they were downright not a problem. Under these conditions, adventurers overpowering higher levels was the norm.

"If they don’t do this, then there is only one possibility: such actions must harm the Saints themselves."

"Is it because I haven’t inherited the legacy of the God of Destiny’s End that I don’t feel it?"

Gu Shanhai suspected he might not have it, hence messing around without consequences.

His system was not originally of Saints and deities. These were just additions to him, along with converting Mana into Divine Power. And Mana, in his case, had become very cheap, so he truly didn’t care.

"Teacher, we are back, and we have successfully cleared the twentieth floor of the Tower of Destiny."

Rein returned and reported the situation to Gu Shanhai.

As soon as he returned, he saw the golden halo and text above Gu Shanhai’s head, which made him stunned momentarily before he joyfully asked, "Teacher, have you recovered?"

"No, just the shell has recovered. This thing might look good, but it’s actually of no use," Gu Shanhai sighed, the thing truly being just a shell.

Rein thought to himself, ’It seems that as we progressively conquer adventure lands, Teacher’s strength will also gradually recover, and this is truly good news!’

It was too much of a coincidence, Rein couldn’t help but think in that direction.

Gu Shanhai noticed Rein’s thoughts but did not correct him. It was better to let him misunderstand; this way, he would be more motivated.

"How about it, did you get a Divine Favored Profession transformation voucher?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"No, it’s not that easy to drop." Rein was moved by this, appreciating that Gu Shanhai’s first concern was not about the clearance but for their sake as disciples.

The Divine Favored Profession transformation voucher was crucial for the advancement of the professions of his four wives.

"That’s too bad. I’ve recently started a new service. Based on your homework completion and exam results, I can send you a skill."

"For instance, if all five of you score full marks, each of you will receive a Divine Favored Skill, or if everyone completes their homework in a week, I will send an advanced skill."

"Of course, if anyone lags behind, you’d better help each other improve. Otherwise, the quality and even availability of the skills would diminish," Gu Shanhai said with a smile, calling this mutual rise and fall.

Upon hearing this, painful expressions appeared on Rein and the others’ faces. Were Gu Shanhai’s learning tasks that easy to complete? However, in contrast, Gu Shanhai’s quality of teaching was excellent, and their overall strength was improving rapidly.

"Teacher, maybe you could consider changing the method. Could we use the progress in conquering adventure lands instead?" Rein tentatively asked.

"Do you think it will work?" Gu Shanhai’s smile grew even brighter.

"I think it might not work." Rein wasn’t a fool, given Gu Shanhai’s attitude, how could it possibly work?

"You guessed right, but there’s no reward." Gu Shanhai admitted that Rein was really smart, then continued, "Next, it’s about the scores from the test, you can order customized equipment and item attributes here at my place, yes, I can change them, but you guys need to provide those things yourselves. I can’t go to the adventure sites anymore; naturally, I can’t get my hands on these items."

After saying this, Gu Shanhai spoke seriously, "From now on, you’ll have to rely on yourselves; all I can do now is to cheer you on from the back."

"Teacher, thank you," Rein also said somberly.

"Don’t mention it; we’re all family here," Gu Shanhai didn’t have much thought about it; it was just a small effort for him.

"How many more times does your automatic move need to level up to LV2?"

These days, apart from studying, scouting intelligence, planning, and other tasks, Rein had been constantly leveling up.

"I’ve completed two-thirds of it; I should be able to level up before attacking the Tower of Destiny next time," Rein said after checking his progress.

Back in the days with Green Light Adventure Team, he had thought about leveling up too, but those pampered girls were just too much of a drag, leaving him with no enough time; he was usually busy with other things.

And after he had nearly finished preparing, these pampered girls would squander all the Divine Power Coins they earned from the adventure lands, forcing him to strategize again.

Even though these girls were major powers, they were squandering the Divine Power Coins of Green Light Adventure Team; if they didn’t earn more, he would go hungry.

So he was forced to act.

Gu Shanhai’s comment was, why did you bother being a lickspittle? Even if he hadn’t wanted to, it wasn’t Gu Shanhai’s place to cut in.

"That’s good," Gu Shanhai was quite satisfied with Rein’s leveling progress; leveling over six hundred times in three months was quite painstaking.

Currently, Rein managed to strategize once every three months, with sufficient preparation, so the speed was extremely fast; it was mostly a damage-free speed run, unlike other adventure teams, which would usually suffer casualties.

"Teacher, I want to expand into a second team to have them grind," Rein said.

"A second team? Sure, go ahead," Gu Shanhai was indifferent; this second team was different from the first team—it wasn’t counted among their regular teams, and it used a hiring Divine Contract. The labor was just like hourly work; they supported these adventurers by giving decent wages, while their harvests belonged to the adventure team.

"It’s just that I need to use your name and some of your small businesses, what do you think..." Rein certainly knew that his little adventure team aiming to form a second team was basically unwelcome as he couldn’t pay enough wages.

People could earn by themselves, so why work for you?

If the wages were too low, adventurers wouldn’t be interested; if it was too high, they would make a loss.

Therefore, it wasn’t impossible; just use the identity of Gu Shanhai, a Saint.

"How would you like to proceed? I don’t have time usually," Gu Shanhai couldn’t really manage this thing.

"You just need to provide a high-level skill to the best performer each month, could that work?" Rein tentatively asked.

"Just this penny-pinching approach won’t really work; let’s do it this way—first place gets a high-level skill, second receives custom high-level equipment, and third gets a custom high-level item; isn’t that much more attractive?" Gu Shanhai thought it was a minor issue; it wouldn’t take him more than a few minutes.

"This... won’t it be a burden for you, teacher?" Rein hesitated, despite Gu Shanhai’s casual remarks; such items were extremely bountiful on lower-level adventurers as possessing even one denotes considerable strength.

Obviously, lower-level adventurers were meant for grinding, not the middle or high-level ones.

"No, it’s a minor issue," Gu Shanhai stated it could hardly be considered a burden.
