Chapter 470: Transfer System
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Sitting on a tal stool cross-legged inside the No. 1 training room, Lei Dalu was clearing his ear in boredom with a green grass in his hand.
Li Yao tried to convince himself for a long ti, yet he still failed to associate the guy in front of him with the young warrior who had slayed hundreds of pirates with 'his saber, his crystal suit, himself, and nothing else'.
However, Li Yao's attention was soon attracted to sothing else.
A brand-new crystal suit was standing right beside Lei Dalu. It was streamlined and glittering in silver brightness. The joints of the suit were decorated with gold stripes, making it both nimble and elegant.
Other than the two normal arms, six auxiliary arms that could be manipulated by telepathic thoughts extended from the back, fitted with various maintenance tools.
" Ah Yao 1 , you are here!"
Lei Dalu put the grass back carefully and then said in a sowhat bragging tone, "How about it? This crystal suit is not half bad, is it? It is called 'Eight Arm', a masterpiece of 'Silver Heart Stream', one of the best crystal suit refining sects in Heavenly Saints City. It is both a professional maintenance crystal suit and one that boasts amazing combat ability!
"I noticed that you've added two artificial arms to your 'Rockman' as maintenance arms. You must be very good at controlling machines with your telepathic thoughts. This 'Eight Arm' is very suitable for you!"
Li Yao was dazed for a mont. "It's a gift for ?"
Lei Dalu nodded his head. His mouth grinned even wider and as he laughed. "Of course!
"You are the biggest contributor to our escape from the Dim Fla Belt, and you should be properly rewarded! Besides, your talent in magical equipnt maintenance is really amazing! Uncle Xiong has been complaining to
that you are a monster-level genius he's never seen before, and that you are harassing him every day like an octopus and are about to finish copying whatever there is inside his head!
"A Rockman is beneath a prodigy such as yourself. This 'Eight Arm' is more suitable more you. Co on and try it!"
Li Yao was greatly touched.
With his expertise, he could see the extraordinariness of this eight-ard maintenance crystal suit just from its appearance.
Judging from the colors that it reflected under the light, a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures must've been added when it was refined.
Also, on the six auxiliary arms on the back of the crystal suit, many kinds of advanced maintenance tools could be found. There were bound to be more that had been embedded inside.
Such a crystal suit was definitely worth a fortune. The Exo Society was short of money at present, and yet they had purchased such an expensive crystal suit as a gift for him?
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao finally said after much consideration, "Captain, as I said when I accepted the offer of the Society, I wouldn't stay here for long.
"My target has always been to enter Heavenly Saints City where I will learn the more mysterious arts of refining and beco a master refiner!
"Therefore, after we reach the Thousand Sails Space Zone, I will leave the Great Horn and dedicate myself to my purpose. Please note that, captain."
Lei Dalu scratched his nose and smiled. "I've been aware of that for a long ti. It is exactly the reason we are giving you this crystal suit!"
Lei Dalu said, "The Thousand Sails Space Zone has always been the assembly of young heroes of the Flying Star Sector. The major forces of Heavenly Saints City will hold various kinds of matches in that place to recruit new blood.
"It is not difficult for a man of your capability to enter Heavenly Saints City.
"However, I'm afraid that you do not know how magnificent your potential is! It will be too wasteful if you simply join a random second-rate organization in Heavenly Saints City!
"Everyone walking out of our Great Horn should be ambitious. When we are not going to Heavenly Saints City, it's fine; but if we are, we will definitely join the strongest organization and study the most advanced arts of refining!
"It's going to be much more difficult to achieve that. You are doubtlessly a genius, but geniuses are what the Flying Star Sector is never in lack of. I don't know how many hungry monsters are out there in the Thousand Sails Space Zone waiting to crush you to pieces!
"I don't know the first thing about refining, so I can't help you there. What I can do is to offer you a maintenance crystal suit. This is the best I can do!
"Also, I've discussed with Uncle Xiong. Given our tortoise-like speed, it will take quite a few months for us to arrive in the Thousand Sails Space Zone. Your maintenance assignnts will be reduced during the ti so that you will have more free ti to train yourself. Uncle Xiong will try his best to teach you, too!
"When we reach the Thousand Sails Space Zone, you are going to look for the strongest organization and the most challenging matches and win them. You will definitely rise to fa soon. Hahahaha!"
This ti, Li Yao was truly dumbfounded. He scratched his head and said, "Captain, you don't mind that I will be leaving you?"
Li Yao had thought that they would definitely persuade him to stay in the Society now that he had shown astonishing talent.
However, not only did the captain see through his determination to leave, he had even made plans for him and seed to be worrying that he might not be able to fly high enough.
"What is there to mind? It's great that sobody can jump to a higher platform than the Great Horn Exo Society."
Lei Dalu explained with a smile, "Ah Yao, since you've been living in the remote areas of the sea of stars, you might not be familiar with the conventions of the Cultivators.
"A long ti ago, there were strict rules and laws about loyalty among Cultivators. Quitting an organization and joining another one was a taboo.
"However, there is a motivation for every decision. If so Cultivators want to switch to a different organization, they must have good reasons for that. For example, their life in their current organization is unpleasant, or they have new ambitions now.
"The outco of suppressing their will back then was that those Cultivators would often dawdle along, which was a better-case scenario.
"Sotis, the conflicts went public, and the sect sotis even split apart. In the more violent cases, so Cultivators even conspired with space pirates and led them to attack the sect. These were real tragedies.
"Even if the uprisings were suppressed successfully, other people in the sect might feel unsafe and beca unwilling to contribute.
"After such tragedies repeated themselves for hundreds of years, finally, everyone figured it out. Those who are forced are always the least motivated. What good is there if one's heart is sowhere else even though their body is present?
"Therefore, the transfer system has been established in the world of Cultivators. The process of a Cultivator quitting one organization and joining another one is known as 'transferring'. The organization accepting them must compensate their old sect with a sum of money according to a public standard with consideration of capability, potential, background, etc. In such a way, everybody involved is happy and satisfied!
"Hehe. When the transfer system was first put into use, so fogies didn't believe in the advantages of the system. But after hundreds of years of experinting, everybody has co to realize that there are greater benefits in the system other than the monetary compensation.
"You also know that most people in our Flying Star Sector live on lone islands in the sea of stars. They are far away from each other and barely ever communicate. It is not uncommon for people to never visit their neighbors a few space zones away.
"But for Cultivators, the last thing they need is solitude. If everybody is hiding their own techniques, their techniques will be passed on to no one. Communication is compulsory!
"Before, people had no channels of communication, nor did they know each other's details. They had to tread lightly and reservedly when they got in touch with other people.
"But after the transfer system was established, the communication between Cultivators significantly increased.
"For example, in the past, if a certain brilliant genius from Sect A decided to quit and join Sect B. The two sects would definitely quarrel, if not waging a war at each other, would they not?
"But under the transfer system, Sect A would receive a large sum of compensation which could be used to train newcors, purchase Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and refine more powerful magical equipnt. Of course, Sect A's attitude would be different, and they would definitely bid the brilliant genius a warm farewell and welco him to co back to visit at any ti.
"Let's say the brilliant genius grew up in Sect A. Sect A would be his hotown. It is very likely that his family and fellows all stay in the place. If his departure with the old sect is not ugly, he would definitely feel sowhat guilty and cherish his 'mother sect'.
"When the brilliant genius does well and makes his way into the leadership of Sect B, naturally, he wouldn't hesitate to converse with Sect A more. With the more frequent exchange of persons and Cultivation arts, the relationship between the two sects will be all the more intimate.
"It was not until the transfer system was established that Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector, who had used to shut their doors and mind their own business, were truly integrated. It is also the reason our Cultivation civilization soared exponentially!
"Ah Yao, with your talents, if you stay in Great Horn, without the enlightennt of more masters and without seeing a bigger world, the best hope for you is to beco a second Xiong Tao.
"But if we help you move a step forward to the crystal suit centers of Heavenly Saints City or other top organizations such as the six major sects, who knows what you will grow into in a few years' ti?
"By then, if the organization you are in intends to hire an Exo Society, won't you think of the Great Horn?
"Isn't helping each other how Cultivators should make friends and build new connections?
"Therefore, just take the crystal suit and train with it. There is nothing to be concerned about. Put your endeavors in the Dim Fla Belt aside. Just consider it a favor that can always be returned if you still bear the Great Horn Exo Society in mind when you rise to fa and fortune in the future!"
Lei Dalu's words rendered Li Yao speechless.
Although Lei Dalu was trying to help him, the guy had been talking in a way that it seed to be a fair deal, if not one where he was talking advantage of Li Yao.
However, he found no solid rebuttals. He felt that his heart was hot and comfortable.
Li Yao finally realized why the defiant young n of the Tiger Killer Camp all supported and worshipped their ssy 'Uncle Captain'.
On second thought, the system did make sense. The most thing about Cultivation was indeed communication.
Back in the Heaven's Origin Sector, all the Cultivation sects were on the sa continent of the sa planet, united against a common enemy. The communication between them had never been a problem.
However, in the Flying Star Sector, everybody drifted in the sea of stars like lonely boats. They wandered in darkness aimlessly. Without sufficient communication, it was not impossible that a sect in isolation would decay and perish within dozens of years.
In such a vast world, the transfer system was a necessity to ensure that the Cultivation civilization as a whole did not retrograde.
"Captain, thank you, thank Uncle Xiong and everyone else in the Society. Wherever I go in the future, I will declare proudly that I co from Great Horn," Li Yao said solemnly.
Li Yao ant what he said.
At first, his sole purpose of staying in the Great Horn Exo Society temporarily was to study secret arts, add credibility to his backstory, and also take a free ride.
However, after sailing together in the sa starship for more than a month and surviving the perils of the Dim Fla Belt, Li Yao gradually fell in love with this group of people that were sowhat special.
All the muscular, hideous-looking n were actually kind and frank, despite their intimidating looks.
The refiners in the Society never kept anything to themselves, either. They taught him all their knowledge without keeping anything from him.
The vigorous young n of the Tiger Kill Camp reminded him of his days in the Grand Desolate War Institution, too.
Li Yao felt that he was extrely lucky to make his first step in an alien world with such a unique team.
Lei Dalu patted his shoulder and smiled. "Let's cut the nonsense. The most important thing about us Cultivators is candor! Co and test the 'Eight Arm'!"
Li Yao himself was eager to try it, too. He rubbed his hands and dashed to the Eight Arm Maintenance Suit.
