Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

The moment he drank it, he could feel his mind becoming clearer, and it gave a soothing sensation to his whole body; he realized this was not normal tea.

"Doesn't the association need the power system? Why are you rejecting it over a dungeon?"

"Oho, did your sister tell you about that?"

"Anyone with a little brain would know about it, with how the fight on the frontline is progressing," Alex replied swiftly.

What he meant was the red zone and black zone, but he couldn't admit he knew it from Emily; otherwise, she would get punished by the association. After all, it's restricted information.

"It seems many people don't have a brain then, don't you see everyone in this city?

They're busy with their daily activity and their own personal desires. Even the majority of the guilds do this. If not because we put a tight leash on them, they would fight each other over dungeon rights," Solomon said with a chuckle.

"That's just because they think they can run if something happens."

"Run? To where? We have an enemy knocking on our door, and as you say, if they had a little brain, they would realize this.

With our safe territory being taken away, it will just be a matter of time before humanity goes extinct."

His gaze then turned sharp. "Tell me, Alex, does anyone with a brain still sit and play games on his phone when a thief is in front of their door, knocking it down?"

As an avid gamer, Alex wanted to answer yes; he knew many people who would just call the police while they continued playing their game with no care in the world. But he knew better than to answer it that way.

He understood the subtle meaning of Solomon, 'You know we need more people, then why do you ask for a dungeon from us? Isn't contributing part of your responsibility as a human?'

"Where? I don't know, maybe run to the dungeon?" Alex replied; he decided to act like he didn't understand what Solomon meant. Contributing to the world is all good and dandy, but before that, he needs to make sure to protect his own loved one first.

Both of them then fell silent, locking gazes with each other for a few breaths.

Solomon then said with a stern voice, "2 category one dungeons and 1 category two dungeon. We cannot go more than that.

It's already more than we can provide. You should know every dungeon is vying for its resources. Giving you exclusive rights means it's only for your guild, and we need to find alternatives for them.

Well, if your power system can become stronger or you tell us you've improved it, we can negotiate more."

'Does this old man know I modified the power system?' But Alex shook the idea away.

How could Solomon know if he had never seen the cultivation system before?

He doubted Solomon would compare it to power systems in novels and fantasy worlds. If there were any dungeons connected to MingYue's world, he would probably have already heard of them.

Even though it could be hidden in his world, he was sure some evidence would have been left in MingYue's world, like things made with technology or even food.

Those are the most interesting things for cultivators in his mind; they will feel interested in mana at first, but when they find out it's basically the same as qi, just less volatile, they will lose interest soon.

Compared to the entertainment system from his world, where people can practically sink a ton of time into it. Alex doubts he could finish all the games in his collection even with one hundred years' time, and that collection is still growing.

For those immortals and cultivators with long lifespans and having nothing to do, this will be the most interesting for them, and for his world, this doesn't have much value.

So if they ever make a connection or any trade, Alex is sure part of it will spread, or at least a rumor about it could be heard on MingYue's side.

"No, 1 category three dungeon, 2 category two, 3 category one," Alex replied swiftly.

"Category three is still too high for your guild. If it's the old Suzaku, I wouldn't mind giving it away, but not this one.

How about this? I will promise to give you one category three only if you can maintain the other dungeons safely without any breach for a year."

"Fine, we have a deal," Alex and Solomon then shook hands.

Solomon then made a call to his secretary to draft the agreement on paper. As they waited, Alex asked, "What do you plan with the power system?"

"Of course, we will exchange it first with the big guilds. After that, we will start recruitment to hire everyone to start training their ability."

Hearing it, Alex cursed in his mind, "As expected of the association president!"

Since the big guilds will put pressure on the association to get the system when it's introduced to the public, Solomon instead chooses to offer it to them first.

Alex can already suspect he will bring all the guild leaders together, then offer it as an exclusive right in an auction. He will then wait for a few weeks until the other guilds suffer from the guild that owns it.

Afterward, he will sell it using the black market at exorbitant prices to the other guilds. After he's satisfied, he will then open the academy, recruiting people.

But for Alex, the most important part is confirming the Hunter Association will recruit people to teach them the cultivation method. This means the recruitment for the Suzaku Guild in a similar way also needs to start at that time.

Solomon looked at Alex with profound eyes, analyzing him carefully, then let out a chuckle. "You are different from your father."
