Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 27: Xiaoyao Sect Recruitment

“We are newcomers.”

“Please have a seat over here.”

The elderly man invited them to sit at their stall, wearing a kind smile:

“I wouldn’t have guessed that you two, so young and newcomers, are already at Level 10. Truly outstanding talent.”

Li Chengfeng didn’t want to waste time with small talk and got straight to the point:

“Sir, you flatter us. Could you briefly explain the benefits and policies of your sect? We’re hungry and in a hurry to get home and cook.”

The elderly man stroked his beard and laughed:

“Haha, no problem. Xiaodie, bring out the food.”

The young girl responded obediently.

She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a petite and delicate figure.

Her hair was smooth and golden, and her eyes were particularly large, dark, and bright like black stones at the bottom of a clear stream.

She was clearly of mixed heritage. Her appearance was very charming and cute.

She took out several dishes covered with plastic wrap from her storage bracelet.

She placed them on the table, then she removed the plastic wrap.

The young girl placed her palm downward, releasing a red, semi-transparent, fiery Qi from her hand.

She circled it over the dishes.

The previously cold dishes began to emit steaming, fragrant aromas.

The young girl then placed two sets of clean bowls and chopsticks in front of them.

“Would you like to eat while listening to the old man speak?”

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao exchanged glances. They smacked their lips, clearly tempted by the aroma.

If they went back, they would still have to cook for themselves.

It would be at least an hour before they could eat.

Shu Fuyao nodded slightly.

“You eat first!”

Although Li Chengfeng didn’t think they would poison the food, it was better to be safe than sorry.

To be cautious, he wanted them to try the food first.

The elderly man smiled and gave the young girl a look.

The young girl pouted but still tasted the food to show Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao.

“Then we won’t be polite.”

Li Chengfeng then picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.

The taste was delicious and very appetizing.

He couldn’t help but praise:

“Mm, your food is really good!”

The elderly man stroked his beard and laughed with satisfaction:

“Hahaha! In life, it’s all about eating and drinking. Join our sect, and you’ll live a carefree life.”

“This is the motto of our Xiaoyao Sect.”

“No one in this world understands eating and drinking better than our Xiaoyao Sect. What you are eating now are instant gourmet dishes produced by our sect.”

Li Chengfeng looked up:

“Do you mean your Xiaoyao Sect specializes in producing these?”

“That’s right, this is the main business of our Xiaoyao Sect.”

The young girl reminded them:

“If you like the food, you can always purchase it from the system marketplace.”

Li Chengfeng was taken aback:

“Can this be bought directly from the marketplace?”

“Yes. Just search for ‘Xiaoyao Sect Instant Gourmet Dishes’ in the marketplace.”

Li Chengfeng immediately entered the system to search.

Sure enough, hundreds of dishes appeared. It turned out that fresh meals could be bought directly through the system.

He didn’t even know about this feature.

He thought the system was like some online store, only selling instant noodles or snail noodles. But the instant gourmet dishes from the Xiaoyao Sect were really expensive.

The cheapest dish was several hundred yuan per serving.

But it was truly delicious.

Definitely worth the price.

“Our Xiaoyao Sect has an annual food and beverage sales revenue of over a trillion yuan, making us the top culinary sect today.”

Li Chengfeng hadn’t realized this earlier.

This elderly man and young girl were backed by such an impressive sect.

Sales revenue of over a trillion yuan, with profits estimated in the hundreds of billions. This was definitely a wealthy sect.

“I’ve learned something new. Your sect is impressive, truly impressive!”

Talent information could only be seen by oneself and could not be made public.

But even without seeing it, the elderly man knew that the two of them had outstanding cultivation talent.

Their martial arts talent was equally remarkable.

From the elderly man’s perspective, two lines of white text were floating above their heads:

[Level 10 Dual-player Secret Realm – “Braving the World Society” – Normal Mode – 86 points.] [Level 10 Dual-player Secret Realm – “Braving the World Society” – Normal Mode – 74 points.]

The two had chosen to make their achievement information public earlier and had not hidden it.

Newcomers had only been on Mu Wang Star for about ten days.

In just ten short days, the two had already successfully challenged a secret realm, and they had scored over 60 points, passing the challenge with ease.

This was enough to show how terrifying their talent was.

The elderly man was very excited inside, but he managed to keep his composure on the surface:

“You two have exceptional talent, indeed. Our sect is in need of geniuses like you.”

“What are the benefits and treatment in your Xiaoyao Sect?”

Li Chengfeng asked while eating.

“Inner disciples receive a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan per level.”

Shu Fuyao paused with the meat at her lips. She was clearly surprised.

2,000 yuan per level, and she was now Level 10, meaning a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.

She asked:

“What do we need to do? Do we have to work?”

“About 4 hours of work each day, with weekends off.”

Shu Fuyao was immediately delighted.

The benefits and treatment were quite good.

“This old man noticed that you both already have a white-letter ordinary achievement. If you can obtain a blue-letter excellent achievement, you won’t have to do any work.”

Shu Fuyao asked:

“How do we obtain an excellent achievement?”

“By completing a super-difficulty secret realm challenge, you can obtain a blue-letter excellent achievement. With your talent, I believe that with ten years of diligent practice in our sect’s martial arts, conquering super-difficulty should not be a problem.”

Li Chengfeng pouted.

Is 20,000 yuan a lot?

Not really.

He had earned 50,000 yuan just today, not counting the equipment.

However, each difficulty level of each dungeon could only be attempted once a year.

They couldn’t farm it indefinitely.

For the normal mode of “Braving the World Society,” they would have to wait until next year to attempt it again, but they could try the hard mode.

The elderly man noticed the subtle expression on Li Chengfeng’s face. He knew that such a basic salary wouldn’t attract a genius like him.

However, the sect’s salary increase system was not limited to just that.
