Alone and Infinite

"Meishan Erlang is the Daoist temple of Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, as it is said in the present world."

Li Xia explained that the relationship between the present world and the palace is very complicated and shrouded in mystery.

Many things are vaguely connected; we can only wait for Aowu's strength to increase and unlock more information to see if there is any data on this.

[Executioner, the name of the tiny guild you created: Meishan, confirm?]

【confirm! 】

Then, the screen of the self-service registration machine started flashing.

The results of the dungeons Li Xia had experienced were listed one by one on the screen.

Even the personal trials in the Hall of Transcendence showed that Transcendence is Transcendence; even with injuries, it still completed its work perfectly.

【1. Demon Slayer - Rating: A】

[2. The Battle of the Five Armies in The Lord of the Rings - Rating: S+]

3. Dragon Ball - Rating: S

4. Monster Hunter - Rating: S+

【5. Second-Tier Advancement Battle - Evaluation: Ultimate Advancement】

6. Naruto - Rating: S

Each time a review pops up, the experience bar, which represents the guild's level experience, jumps up sharply.

Finally, the experience bar was filled up, which meant that the guild established by Li Xia had reached the level cap for initial guild establishment.

You only need to complete one S-rank guild mission to upgrade to an S-rank guild.

[Executioner, you have established an A-level mini-guild: Meishan]

The guild information panel is now open. Please view the details in the guild information panel.

Li Xia curiously opened the guild panel and shared it with Aowu and Heitan.

Guild Name: Meishan

[Guild Type: Very Small Guild / Solo Guild]

Guild Level: A (Experience Maxed)

[Guild Skill: Not Selected]

Guild members: 1

Guild Leader: Xia

Guild Warehouse: 1000 cubic meters

Guild Location: None

The guild panel information was very simple. Li Xia first added Heitan and Aowu.

They can even create their own job titles!

[Executioner, you have invited Awoo to join the 'Meishan Guild']

[Executioner, you have appointed 'Awoo' as the guardian beast of the mountain/vice president]

[Executioner, you have invited Black Charcoal to join the 'Meishan Guild']

[Executioner, you have appointed 'Black Charcoal' as mascot/vice president]

The guardian beasts and mascots were all smiles, finding it quite amusing, and clamored for Li Xia to quickly check what the guild skills were.

All I can say is that the information Aowu gathered was rather fragmented. Looking at the guild skills, Li Xia realized that they were a little different from what he had imagined.

At first, he thought that guild skills were all random, and that there was a possibility that some skills would be particularly powerful.

Looking at the guild skill list now, it suddenly dawned on me that all guild skills are random, without any logic or basis for existence.

Simply put, guild skills involve selecting several skills from the skill pool and installing them into slots.

Everyone is the same. As for those rare skills, of course they exist, but they are all rewards for completing high-difficulty tasks.

The 'Meishan' guild is currently at level A and has four skill slots.

You can choose one skill from each of the four guild skill pools: DC, BA, and D.

"From this perspective, everyone's guild skills are basically the same."

Aowu glanced at it briefly and immediately came to a conclusion.

Guild skills can be roughly divided into several types: enhancement, support, defense, and offense. Only a few types offer the best value for money.

Unless there are special needs or a need for a certain skill to complement oneself, people really only choose a few things.

Li Xia hummed in agreement and, without hesitation, began selecting skills from the pool.

The skill chosen for Rank D is 'Full of Energy'.

[Full of Energy] LV1

[Skill Type: D-Rank/Enhancement Skill]

【Effect: Increases fixed spirit by 1 point and additionally increases MP by (1) * 50 points】

This skill is good. Spirit mainly affects the mana bar, and the conversion rate of 1 point of Spirit is 1:5.

If this skill level increases by two points of Spirit, then it will also increase mana by an additional 100 points.

Quite practical and useful guild skills.

Li Xia then selected 'Mana Recovery' from the C-level skills.

[Mana Recycling] LV1

[Skill Type: C-Rank/Support Skill]

[Effect: Reduces mana consumption by 1% + 20 points (takes effect when mana consumption exceeds 100 points)]

This skill is very helpful for Kurotan. Susanoo is a mana-intensive Pokémon. If it consumes 300 mana points, this mana recovery can directly reduce it by 300*1%+20, which is 23 mana points.

Hmm. It does seem like very little at low levels, but once you upgrade to level two, this skill will reduce it by a fixed 2% + 25 points.

The future is expected!

These two skills are mainly for Black Charcoal, whose mana bar is too short. Li Xia's true qi value has already exceeded 2000, which is several times that of Black Charcoal.

If it had Li Xia's mana bar, Susanoo could directly activate its complete form, doubling its combat power.

The next B-level skill pool contains quite a few pretty good skills.

After searching around, I've narrowed it down to two skills for now.

[Durable Outer Layer] LV1

[Skill Type: Rank B/Enhancement Skill]

[Effect: Physical Strength +0.5]

Another type is support skills.

[Bonus Reward] LV1

[Skill Type: Rank B/Support Skill]

[Effect: Increases guild skill experience gain speed by 5%]

Looking at these two skills, Li Xia hesitated.

Guild skills can also be upgraded. When you gain guild experience, it will be converted into skill experience at a certain ratio.

Once a skill is maxed out, it can be upgraded to a higher level, giving you a sense of proficiency.

Based on estimates, if Li Xia completes a world with an S-rank rating and achieves an A-rank rating in 'Meishan', the guild experience gained would generate approximately 2-3 skill points.

Therefore, increasing the speed at which guild skill points are acquired is also very useful.

After thinking for a while, Aowu suddenly asked:

"Boss, should we do an S-rank guild quest later?"

The A-level guild experience bar is now full. It only needs to complete one S-level guild mission to upgrade to S-level.

Li Xia nodded without hesitation:

"It's just a task, worth the time to do."

Guild experience can be gained through two channels:

1. Specialized guild quests can earn a large amount of guild experience.

2. Regular adventures in derivative/original worlds yield relatively little guild experience based on evaluation.

Li Xia felt that doing guild quests for guild experience was unnecessary and not cost-effective.

Very small guilds and small guilds wouldn't do this; only ambitious teams that want to become large guilds would specifically seek out this kind of task.

They keep recruiting cannon fodder, all for the purpose of completing guild missions.

With more people, there's naturally more energy to do other things.

"Since we're going to do an S-rank mission, I suggest we choose physical strength."

Aowu said very seriously, "Let's strengthen ourselves first, and then switch skills after we reach the S-rank guild. We can slowly accumulate them then."

As for physical strength, the initial increase of 0.5 is useful but not much.

Aowu and Li Xia's physical strength has already exceeded the standard, only Heitan's is relatively low. However, with the Lightning Release Body Tempering, its physical strength can also be improved given time.

Although the upper limit is not high, as Li Xia's rank increases, he can continue to look for things that can improve his physical strength in the future.

"Okay, then let's choose physical strength!"

Li Xia readily accepted the advice and decisively chose physical strength, finally arriving at the A-level skill pool.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the skill.

【Sharing the Joy】LV1

[Skill Type: Rank A/Support Skill]

[Effect: Increases the rate of skill point acquisition by followers/pets/servants by an additional 10%]

Noble addition!

A powerful A-rank skill!

Instead of multiplying by 110%, the skill points of Black Charcoal and Aowu are increased from 40% to 50% of the attribute points obtained by Li Xia in the single world.

If you upgrade one level, the additional percentage increase is 12%. Considering that this is additive, the increase is definitely not small.

With A-level guild skills already this powerful, Li Xia became even more eager to see what S-level guild skills would come up with.

If it weren't for the excessive experience required to upgrade an S-rank guild to SS-rank, he would have liked to rush to gain guild experience.

Based on the current progress, Li Xia should be able to fill up the guild experience around level 5, and then aim for SSS level at level 9.

Quite far away.

"Let's go check out the guild quests!"

After selecting the skills, Li Xia closed the interface and excitedly dragged Aowu and Heitan to the guild quest hall.

Compared to the deserted self-service guild registration room, the guild mission hall was bustling with activity.

In front of most of the machines stood groups of two or three apostles, wearing various guild badges, carefully examining the tasks displayed on them, and occasionally chatting.

The entire hall was then filled with a buzzing sound like the flapping of bees' wings.

Occasionally, they would also communicate with the guild's decision-making body through private communications, and accept tasks after careful consideration.

Li Xia walked around the lobby and finally found an available machine.

I stepped forward and pressed my hand on the self-service machine's panel. A dazzling light scanned my palm for a while.

Text began to appear on the screen.

Meishan Guild

[Guild Type: Very Small Guild]

[Current Level A]
