Chapter 72: Call from Eileen

Li Wei didn't plan to exchange the points he earned from this mission for design blueprints; they were too expensive. Buying a blueprint casually would deplete all his points. He was still in a period of strength improvement, and it was better to use these valuable rewards to enhance himself.

Changing his target, Li Wei roughly decided how to spend his points. First, a dose of C-level gene fluid was essential. Then, he exchanged the rest for flesh cores. Six flesh cores should be enough to unlock two pages of the books, right?

With his rewards in hand, Li Wei returned to his room, prepared to use these items he had just acquired. However, before he could start, there was a knock on his door.

Opening it, he found a female attendant standing outside. "Hello, Mr. Li Wei, I've knocked on your door a few times today. There's a message for you, waiting for your reply."

She handed Li Wei a note. As he read it, she continued, "If you need to reply to this message, you can come to the communication room on the second floor. The price for remote communication is fifty white crystals per minute."

"Okay." Li Wei nodded, planning to go.

The message was from Eileen. It didn't say much, just that if Li Wei received the message, he must call her back between 8:00 and 9:30 tonight.

Calculating the time, it was about right.

The communication room wasn't very large, about forty to fifty square meters, divided into small booths to ensure privacy.

After registering at the counter, Li Wei picked up a sign with a '7' on it and found the corresponding booth.

Entering, he closed the door behind him and took a look around the booth. It was very simple. It had solid walls on all sides, a small table facing the door with a chair, and nothing else.

Li Wei pulled out the chair and sat down. He saw a headset and a microphone on the table. Putting on the headset and placing the microphone, he heard a female voice in the headset, "Please inform the address you want to dial."

Li Wei read the communication address from the note Eileen sent him.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The communication signal was connected after a while.

"Hello... Hello... Can you hear me?" Eileen's slightly distorted voice came through the headset.

"I can hear you," Li Wei responded.

"I heard there was a big incident at Clover? Half-mechanical riot? Are you okay?" Eileen asked.

"I'm fine, and we also made quite a harvest. The guild issued a region-wide mission."

"That's good. Even in times of crisis, it's also a good opportunity. Make good use of it."

The two chatted for a while about this. Li Wei said, "Enough of that. It costs fifty white crystals per minute, and you know I'm very poor. Let's get to the point."

"Okay, okay, really, I've been stuck in this lousy place in District 17 for so long, even talking to someone is being rejected," Eileen complained, then said, "You should be almost done with the Extreme Forging now, I'll tell you..."

"I've already finished," Li Wei corrected her succinctly.

"What?" Eileen's voice sounded slightly surprised. "So fast? I remember when you left, there was still a bit of distance from the Extreme level. You completed the forging so quickly?"

"Yeah."

"Tsk tsk, indeed worthy of being someone I value." Eileen praised him, then said, "In that case, what I'm about to say is even more important to you now. You must consider your future development path."

Li Wei's expression became solemn. Since coming to the Clover Guild, he had already learned who Eileen really was. Her full name was Eileen Mars, the famous "Silver Envoy," the leader of the Clover Guild branch, and the biological daughter of Mars, the leader of the Clover Guild.

Putting aside her identity as the "Silver Envoy," Eileen herself was also a powerful demon hunter. Nine years ago, there was an explosion of talent in the Clover Guild. Among the group of people around the age of twenty, there were quite a few geniuses.

These people's names were shining, and almost all of them had grown into the current backbone of the Clover Guild. Among them, there were many top experts who had completed Elemental Manifestation, so they were called the so-called "Golden Generation."

People like the famous "Gunfire Rose" Eileen, "Witch" Judith, and "Blind" Yugu were the three goddesses of the Golden Generation. Now, they were all top experts who had completed Elemental Manifestation.

Back then, Eileen's reputation was the most prominent. The name "Gunfire Rose" was earned through one commission and one battle after another. Inheriting the powerful gunfighting skills from her father, she became the most dazzling person in the Golden Generation.

However, all of this came to an abrupt end seven years ago. She went from being a genius shining in the Clover Guild and even shining throughout the entire Weisdom's hunter circle, to becoming the leader of a dilapidated branch in the lower district.

What happened in between? Li Wei didn't inquire. It was just said that she made a very serious mistake back then, and going to District 17 was almost equivalent to exile.

Regardless, Eileen was a top-notch expert, whether then or now.

For such a person to be willing to give him advice, Li Wei felt that he must treat it seriously.

"I know your foundation is very poor, but precisely because of this, you must consider your future development more carefully."

"The Extreme level, for a hunter who aspires to go further on the path of evolution, is just a warm-up activity, not even a real start. After all, the so-called Extreme level refers to the limit of a human body, and our ultimate goal is to transcend."

"Opening the gene lock marks the official start of the evolutionary path. Have you ever thought about which path you want to take in the future?"

Li Wei indeed had not considered this. He cautiously said, "Can you introduce me? I still don't understand what these gene chains represent."

"Then listen carefully."
