Chapter 74: Joining

Li Wei's situation was completely different from any other evolutionist in this world.
Eileen's advice was just that, advice. What she said was based on Li Wei's possession of the Sharingan and the Devil's Left Hand, his "talents."
But the problem was not at all that simple.
The Book of All Laws was a completely different system that existed outside of this world and needed to be treated with much greater caution. It was not something that could be decided in a few words.
However, Li Wei was still very grateful to Eileen. Her explanation of these things, despite wasting so much breath, was of great help to him in choosing his path in the future.
Besides these, he had another important question.
"By the way, Eileen, I want to ask, where can I get these training methods?"
"They are available in the guild."
"The guild has them? Then why have I never seen them in the rewards exchange list?"
"You don't have enough privileges," Eileen said, "This thing is only open to those who are qualified. This qualification does not just refer to talent, but is a very complex recognition process. After all, our Clover Branch does not train hunters from other branches; the entire Hunter Guild does not train evolutionists for other forces. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Wei naturally understood that power came at a price.
He had never even thought about buying a training method before. Selling, there should be sellers, but the problem was the price. Things like gene fluid, when they fell into the black market, would be priced many times higher than the official price, so what about training methods? According to Eileen, this thing should be very precious. If it really appeared on the market, it would probably be sold at a sky-high price.
The only way he could think of was to get it from the Hunter Guild.
"How can I get the training method?"
"For you right now, there is only one realistic way. Perform well in the training at the headquarters, and then the headquarters may reward you with the corresponding training method."
"Is there no other way?"
"There is, join a force and get recognized."
"I see." Li Wei took a deep breath. "If I want to truly join the Clover Guild?"
He heard a ringing laughter from the other end of the headset.
"I can tell Mars, he should also be very welcoming to your true joining of the Clover Guild. After you complete the headquarters training, you can immediately go through the procedures to change your registered guild and join the Clover."
"Then it's decided."
"Okay okay," Eileen said, "Don't act like you're selling yourself, that's not the case. As you know, the Hunter Guild is not a place with strong constraints, and the Clover is the same. Everyone is a hunter, taking on missions, completing missions, earning their own money, improving their own strength, that's all."
"No, I don't mean that. I just feel like, every step I've taken seems to be... arranged by you?"
"Indeed." Eileen said, "At this point, I won't hide it from you either. I want to leave District 17, but I need your help. I made some mistakes before and was exiled here, this is the price I should pay, I have nothing more to say. It's just, I still want to go back, I don't want to stay here forever, do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't know how I can help you?"
"Initially, the conditions they gave me to leave here were to train three experts who had opened their gene locks for the guild. In the first two years before coming to District 17, I was lucky and had already sent out two, but I waited for five years and still didn't wait for the third one. I used to think that Zhang Zongming would be the third one, but the more I got to know that bastard, the more I realized his true nature, he disappointed my expectations. But your appearance gave me hope again."
"So that's how it is..." Li Wei finally understood the whole story. He said, "Alright, I can help you with this favor. After completing the headquarters training, I will sign the agreement to change my registered location, and I will choose to truly join the Clover."
"Then I will contact my father later and explain the situation to him. Tomorrow, you can go to him and have a good talk, let him open the permission for you to exchange for the training method."
"Okay, thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you."
...
After ending the call with Eileen, Li Wei left and paid the communication fee. It was expensive, a more than twenty-minute "call" cost about a dozen blue crystals. If it were a little longer, it would almost be equivalent to the price of a D-grade gene fluid.
Paying the money, Li Wei returned to his room.
He looked at the gene fluid and flesh core he had exchanged, thought for a moment, and decided not to use them yet, but to wait until he clarified the matter of the training method tomorrow.
...
The next day, early morning.
Li Wei came to President Mars' office.
Knocking on the door, entering, Li Wei saw the President sitting behind his desk, looking a bit weary.
These days, this President probably hadn't had a good rest. On the front lines of the battlefield, there were constantly reports of individual powerful semi-mechanical creations causing trouble, many of which were personally eliminated by President Mars.
In addition to dealing with battles, there were many things that President Mars had to face and worry about in the Clover community. Looking at the stack of documents on his desk, one could see how hard he had been working.
However, his expression was still very gentle.
He looked up and said to Li Wei, "I received a call from Eileen last night. It's very rare for my daughter to contact me on her own initiative, and this time it's for someone else, sigh..."
Li Wei smiled but didn't continue this topic.
President Mars continued, "I still have some things in my hands now. Let me finish reading this document first, and then we'll talk about your matter."
"Okay."
Li Wei found a seat beside him and sat for a while.
President Mars didn't keep him waiting too long. After writing a few sentences on the document in front of him, he set it aside and said to Li Wei, "I've seen your potential. If you are willing to join our Clover, I am very welcome. However, this is a very serious matter, and I don't want you to make a decision just because of the training method."
"You can rest assured, I have already thought it through."
"That's good. I have already informed Yang Lin, who is in charge of administrative affairs. She will help you open the permissions. You can now go to her office and choose a basic training method."
