"President Lan, do you have time at the Starfire Society? I would like to ask for your help in my awakening..."

The visitor was a tall and rugged man, possessing the strength of Third Order Peak. Yet he was slightly bending his waist, looking at Lan Yulian with a face full of appeasement.
Lan Yulian slightly frowned. However, before she could speak, the man immediately added:
"I am willing to offer 500,000 Crystal Coins as a reward for your assistance..."
Hearing this price, everyone was somewhat surprised.
500,000 Crystal Coins were not a small amount, let alone ordinary people, even most Ability Users couldn't come up with so much money.
But what the other party wanted wasn't something else, it was an awakening...
"You mean, let us help you kill a Level 4 Lord?"
Lan Yulian spoke.
To awaken at Third Order Peak, one needs three conditions: Hundred Thousand Blood Volume, Hidden Attributes, and an Awakening Key.
Wang Tao had already told many people about these three conditions, which must have spread long ago.
This man's intention must be to personally kill a Level 4 Lord, thereby obtaining an Awakening Key, fulfilling one of the conditions.
"Yes!"
As expected, the burly man hastily nodded his head.
If it's just for an awakening key, this price of 500,000 Crystal Coins was quite appropriate.
Lan Yulian cast a discreet glance at Wang Tao. Seeing that Wang Tao had no reaction, she immediately shook her head:
"Sorry, we are not taking such jobs for the time being."
"Well then... sorry for the disturbance."
Hearing Lan Yulian's refusal, the man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to offer more money, but he really didn't have any money left, and ultimately he could only sigh in disappointment and left.
After this person left, another one came, with the same purpose as the previous person, also wanting the Starfire Society's help in personally killing a Level 4 Lord. But this time the price was 600,000. This person was also rejected by Lan Yulian.
Then, a third person came, still wanting help killing a Level 4 Lord, and this time the price increased to 800,000!
Still being refused by Lan Yulian, no one else came for the time being.
After all, at 800,000, the price was already high, and there weren't many who could offer more. Moreover, the most important part was that Lan Yulian clearly had no intention of bargaining—she probably didn't reject it because the money wasn't enough, but simply didn't want to take the job.
Once no one else disturbed her, Lan Yulian approached Wang Tao and whispered:
"800,000 is not a small amount, are you sure we won't take it? Or should we ask for a bit more?"
"We won't accept any amount, it's not about the money."
Wang Tao shook his head right away.
His killing of a Level 4 Lord was an over-level victory, and it would burst out several Loot Packs. Just these items alone were not comparable to these few hundred thousand Crystal Coins. If he gave those kills to these people, it would be a loss for him!
Another point was that all three of these people lacked Hidden Attributes… no Hidden Attributes, what kind of awakening?
Even if Wang Tao really wanted to take the job, they wouldn't be able to obtain an Awakening Key in the end, making it purely wasteful!
This type of detrimental task, Wang Tao definitely was not willing.
"Alright!"
Since Wang Tao said so, Lan Yulian naturally wouldn't oppose, but she asked curiously:
"But why do they all come to our Starfire Society? Could it be they found out you are very capable?"
Wang Tao looked at her with a slightly amused glance.
"Obviously, it's because of you. After all, you are a big healer mom, you can ensure their survival, maximizing their safety. If it were me, I would definitely want you to lead as well!"
"Um..."
Lan Yulian felt a bit embarrassed. She hadn't realized she was that capable. When she was with Wang Tao, she felt like she was always skimming through, and it was always Wang Tao who exerted the effort...
"That's right!"
The others nearby nodded as well.
Healers were already scarce, and a healer Awakener was solely Lan Yulian. If it weren't because she was the president of the Starfire Society, probably people would come to recruit her every day. Even now, there were always people looking to collaborate with Lan Yulian, but she had refused them all.
Of course, those wanting to spend money to be led, aside from Lan Yulian, Starfire Society itself was also one of the reasons. Although few, the members of Starfire are strong, with eight or nine being public Level 4s, all elites. In many cases, an elite team is more suitable than a large troop—like when running away, they run faster.
"But then again, if it's about helping with awakening, it's not necessary to personally kill a Level 4 Lord, just giving a physical awakening key would suffice..."
Wang Tao muttered as he stroked his chin.
The purpose of those people seeking leadership was to obtain an awakening key, and the effect of using a physical awakening key was the same, and no danger was involved...
Wang Tao looked at the 60 physical awakening keys he still held. Would selling one for a million be too much? That would value them at least at 60 million.
Of course, Wang Tao didn't plan to sell them just yet—or perhaps just sell a little? The members of this small team had not all awakened yet, so this valuable item was certainly to be used by their own. Besides, the current focus wasn't the awakening keys but rather the Hidden Attributes. Without them, no matter how many keys were used, it would all be in vain.
The trading conference continued.
Another person came to the Starfire Society, but this time he wasn't looking for Lan Yulian but for Wang Tao.
To those unfamiliar with Starfire Society, they would think that Lan Yulian, the president, was the boss of Starfire Society, so they would go straight to Lan Yulian. But those who were familiar with Starfire Society knew that the president Lan Yulian was just the nominal leader and Wang Tao was the actual boss behind the scenes.
