Chapter 125 Banking Business
Alan immediately checked the attributes of the Purification Amulet.
At this moment, the control removal ability of the Purification Amulet had increased from 85% to 88%.
The improvement wasn't as significant as last time, but this was within Alan's expectations.
Then, Alan used the second equipment evolution scroll.
This time, the control removal ability of the Purification Amulet increased from 88% to 90%.
The improvement decreased again, but Alan didn't mind.
A 90% control removal attribute was already very powerful.
Moreover, Alan was confident that he would obtain more equipment evolution scrolls in the future. Even if he couldn't boost the control removal ability of the Purification Amulet to 100%, reaching at least 95% was entirely feasible.
Collecting his thoughts, Alan began to plan his next steps. 'I'm going to take control of the Adventurers' Guild and then establish a bank.'
Alan decided to act immediately.
He headed straight to the Adventurers' Guild in Starcity.
The Adventurers' Guild was bustling with activity.
Many players were there because the Adventurers' Guild offered a large number of regular tasks, which were repeatable material collection tasks.
To level up quickly, taking on some high-experience reward tasks here was very useful.
After entering, Alan directly approached the staff responsible for issuing tasks and said, "I want to speak with your manager."
The staff member was a blonde girl with blue eyes. She looked at Alan and shook her head.
"Not everyone can see our manager." As she said this, she had a somewhat arrogant tone. "Only those who become seven-star adventurers are qualified to see our manager."
Adventurers who completed guild tasks not only received experience points and specific rewards but also some relatively special rewards.
For example, Adventurers' Guild points.
The higher the points, the higher the level in the Adventurers' Guild, and they could also receive adventurer badges issued by the guild, which provided certain bonuses.
The higher the level of the adventurer badge, the higher the attribute bonuses.
"This game has only been out for a few days; it's impossible for any player to reach seven stars."
"This guy probably wants to take on advanced tasks, but looking at him, he hasn't even registered as an adventurer. It's just wishful thinking."
"Instead of wasting our time on this joke, we should be out there grinding more monsters. Anyone up for a team to hunt level 25 Green-Eyed Snakes?"
Alan's actions drew sneers from many people.
But Alan didn't care; there were always people who liked to show off in front of him. If he cared about all of them, it would be exhausting.
Alan took out the Adventurers' Guild Leader Badge and asked, "Do you recognize this?"
Upon hearing this, before the blonde woman could respond, someone nearby proudly took out a badge.
"Kid, look, this is a real adventurer badge. What kind of trash badge are you holding?" the adventurer said.
Seeing the badge in this person's hand, someone next to him excitedly said, "That's a two-star badge. Dude, you're already a two-star adventurer."
The adventurer nodded proudly. "Keep it low-key. With my skills, leveling up is a piece of cake."
Alan didn't say anything more, but the blonde woman's mouth slightly opened, and her face showed an expression of disbelief when she saw the badge in Alan's hand.
It took her several seconds to react.
"Please wait a moment, I'll notify Lord Orla right away." With that, the blonde woman quickly ran inside.
After a while, a tall woman with sharp features walked out.
Her gaze stayed on Alan for a moment, then fell on the badge in his hand.
"Sir, you're finally back." Orla Raines respectfully bowed to Alan at a 90-degree angle.
This scene left everyone present in disbelief.
"How is this possible? What kind of badge is he holding that could make the head of the Adventurers' Guild treat him like this?"
"So we were the clowns. He's the real deal."
Alan ignored the discussions around him and walked straight into the Adventurers' Guild.
Orla followed respectfully behind Alan.
"Guild Leader, we've been waiting for so long. You're finally back," she said.
Alan waved his hand and asked, "What's the current situation of the Adventurers' Guild?"
"Same as always, making some profit through task commissions."
Alan nodded; he was aware of this.
Many tasks handed out by the Adventurers' Guild were actually based on existing needs, but they were distributed through the guild, which allowed the guild to earn a commission.
This was similar to an auction house, where most of the items were consigned for auction, and the auction house made money by charging fees.
Moreover, the Adventurers' Guild had its own experience system, offering relatively generous experience rewards.
"I'm here this time with a money-making idea," Alan said.
Orla instinctively asked, "What kind of money-making idea?"
"It's simple, a deposit service," Alan replied. "Let adventurers deposit their money with us, and we'll offer interest."
Orla was a bit taken aback. "This model exists in Stellaria. It's not easy for our Adventurers' Guild to get involved."
Orla continued, "Besides, our guild's current deposit system isn't mature, and we can't offer high interest rates, so we won't attract people."
Alan remained calm; he knew Stellaria had bank-like institutions, but he had a passive ability to offer high interest rates, which other banks couldn't match.
"What are the current interest rates offered by those banks?" Alan asked.
"Generally, it's 1% to 3% annually, with a few offering up to 5%."
Alan nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"What if I could offer 30% annual interest?"
"What?" Orla's face showed disbelief; she couldn't believe her ears.
This was too incredible.
"Guild Leader, doing this would cause our Adventurers' Guild to lose a lot of money."
Alan shook his head. "No, we won't lose."
Alan directly displayed his passive high-interest ability.
"Not only won't we lose, but we'll also make an unimaginable amount of money," he said."
"This..." Orla's eyes widened; she could hardly believe what she was seeing.
This was simply too incredible.
Orla hurriedly said, "Alright, Guild Leader, I'll arrange it right away. All Adventurers' Guilds in Stellaria will start offering banking services."
"Go ahead and arrange it. Do it quickly. Don't worry about pressure from other banks. If they cause trouble, I'll handle it," Alan said.
