135: Chapter 135 Twenty-one Support Team 2
Thank Rain had to think for a while to convince her best friend to join the Support Group with her, without revealing that Fang Yuan possessed a Transcendent True Spirit Talent.
Normally, beautiful women like them, with their excellent looks, had a lot of choices and it wouldn't be difficult for them to become a Gold Rank Talent Prodigy's supporter.
Thank Rain could only reveal that Li Xuefei, the leader, had a grandfather who was a Peak Legend Rank expert.
With such an established expert mentioned, and Thank Rain being a close friend, after multiple persuasions, eighteen out of twenty-five people agreed.
The remaining seven had other options, and regarding her friends' choices, Thank Rain could only vaguely say that Squad was very good, but these seven ultimately did not agree.
Repeated persuasion failed to change their minds, and since their relationship wasn't extremely close, Thank Rain eventually had to give up trying to convince them. She couldn't reveal Fang Yuan's Talent situation.
She could tell that Fang Yuan didn't want to expose his Talent, and she had promised not to, so naturally, she couldn't say anything. If she did and Fang Yuan found out, she dared not imagine the consequences.
And if she continued to persuade them, it might even damage their relationship. Unable to do anything, Thank Rain could only give up on those seven; it was their misfortune.
What made Thank Rain very happy was that Xiao Ming, her closest friend, immediately agreed to her invitation.
Not only that, but she also brought her two younger brothers into it.
"Hehe, welcome everyone to become part of Squad's Support Group. Our squad is full of talented individuals, especially this guy. He's even more of a Prodigy than me, the leader! You'll thank yourselves for today's choice later.
Oh, and in three days, we'll be returning to Sea City. You can consider whether you want to come with us. It's fine if you don't; you can also stay here."
With the twenty-one members joining the Support Group, Li Xuefei also spoke openly. Their home base was Sea City after all, and their future development focus would definitely not be in Tiandu.
Smaller forces were fine; the forces within Tiandu wouldn't bother them. But at the Legendary Rank and above, such forces would inevitably encroach upon their interests.
No one wants a force similar to their own developing nearby. After decades of development, Tiandu, though covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, has already been largely divided by over four hundred Legend Rank Professionals.
To develop in Tiandu, you either belong to them or become one of them; there are no other possibilities. The land is only so big, and one more person joining reduces their gains.
"Hehe, since we've chosen to be your supporters, Leader, of course we'll go with you! It's all the same wherever we are, and there are teleportation arrays anyway."
As soon as Li Xuefei finished speaking, the newly joined members of the Support Group on the field expressed their stances one after another. They had already accepted the possibility of leaving Tiandu when they chose to become supporters.
This was not an issue; they joined with this in mind.
Tiandu was vast, but for ordinary people like them, it was a huge cage. They could basically only stay within Tiandu, waiting for the Human Alliance's welfare.
It was the helplessness of the vast majority of people: after most people in Tiandu grew to Gold Rank, they either became soldiers of the Human Alliance or joined the forces of those Legend Rank Professionals.
Regardless of the path, the resources ordinary people could obtain were very scarce. Even if your Talent was Gold Rank, the treatment would at most be slightly better.
The reason beautiful people like Thank Rain chose to be Alliance receptionists was simply because it was their best option.
Gold Rank Professionals require a large amount of resources, and these resources are only available in the Void Realm. The monsters in the mist have basically been cleared out, leaving only some newly born weak monsters.
To obtain Gold Rank crystal cores, one must delve deep into the Void Realm to hunt monsters and search for rare treasures.
However, the major forces have already monopolized all external resources. The sixteen Void Realms outside Tiandu, each direction, have been clearly divided, belonging to a certain force's hunting ground.
An ordinary Gold Rank Professional can enter the Void Realm, but they must surrender seventy percent of their gains, or join them and become a member of a major force.
Regardless of the option, the outcome is similar: the resources an ordinary Gold Rank Professional can obtain are far from enough to meet their needs.
A Gold Rank One crystal core is worth millions of energy points. It doesn't seem like much, but an ordinary Gold Rank Professional, due to energy absorption efficiency and Bottleneck, would need at least several hundred crystal cores if they relied solely on absorbing them to upgrade.
Just for Gold Rank One, it already requires three to four hundred million energy points, and the further one progresses, the more energy points are needed.
They have no other choice; crystal cores are the best option they can access. Otherwise, with their Bronze Rank Talent, it would take years or even a decade to Breakthrough a small Rank.
With sufficient crystal cores, even with very ordinary Talent, one can quickly raise their Rank by relying on a large amount of energy.
A Professional can use a maximum of five or six crystal cores of the same Rank per day, which means they can ascend one Rank in two to three months.
This is just theoretical. For ordinary people, even if they can enter the Void Realm divided by major forces, they can at most obtain one crystal core a day, which is far from enough for their Cultivation needs, and there are considerable dangers involved.
Joining a major force or the Alliance Army offers much higher safety, but a large portion of their income must be surrendered. In this way, obtaining one crystal core would likely take more than two days.
The majority of Tiandu residents who had no choice could only opt to join the Alliance Army, becoming a part of it.
Perhaps if they performed well, they could become someone valued and receive one crystal core every day.
Whether it's the Human Alliance, the number one human force, or the major forces under Alliance jurisdiction, they all highly value Geniuses. Gold Rank Professionals with Silver Rank Talent can generally receive one crystal core daily.
