Chapter 141: Xu Family Adventurer Org
"Sister Lingyun, from the requests we've received, it seems that most of the top-level personnel are only willing to work for the family, or they'll join the Xu family Adventurer group that Xu Qianghua formed," Liu Meiying said as she skimmed through the various applications from the summoned people.
The force she was referring to was a group Xu Qianghua had established for those who didn't want to join a specific branch under the ladies and preferred staying in the subspace cultivating.
Though cultivating in seclusion could be beneficial for a while, in the long term, it posed a significant problem.
Without real-world experiences, these people would lose their purpose over time, and it could even cause them to lose their lives, as they would be absorbed by the very laws they practiced without understanding their true nature.
Also, their cultivation progress would become purely theoretical, as they lacked practical combat experience.
While they could spar with dummies or their fellow clansmen in the training room, it wouldn't be enough.
Facing real people, or even beasts, in actual battle would give them the experience needed to handle unpredictable situations.
These challenges would force them to grow in ways the subspace could not.
Thus, Xu Qianghua devised the Adventurer group as a way to solve this.
He would send these shut-ins outside on missions, exchanging their contributions for the cultivation resources they needed.
This ensured that all members of the clan stayed active and didn't tarnish the family's reputation by becoming lazy or complacent.
At first, Xu Qianghua considered holding tournaments to make everyone fight for resources.
But after thinking it over, he decided against it. While it might have been exciting, it would only breed unnecessary conflict, which would harm the family more than help.
Instead, the Adventurer group was formed, and when the ladies heard about it, they fully supported the idea.
They even suggested that all clansmen should join the group to create an additional source of income for those in need.
From the beginning, no one proposed giving the clansmen a fixed amount of resources, as it would only encourage laziness.
In time, the family would collapse if everyone became reliant on handouts. A system based on merit was the only way to keep the family motivated and ensure its survival.
"So, what do you want to do?" Bai Lingyun asked as she examined more applications from the Su family.
"I think we should set up a testing venue to evaluate their knowledge and then assign them roles based on their results," Liu Meiying replied.
Bai Lingyun nodded in agreement. She knew this was the best approach to avoid favoritism based on the rank of the card from which a person was summoned.
Xu Qianghua had already warned them that even people summoned from lower-rank cards could possess incredible talents that simply hadn't had the opportunity to shine, which might have lowered their initial value.
This was a test from the Supreme Will for all summoners. The Will wanted everyone to be treated equally.
The reason it created this system was to address the issue of summoned people receiving different treatment based on their card rank.
Many families in the past had lost promising members because they treated them poorly, leading those people to either leave and form their own forces or join other families.
Once the Supreme Will implemented this change, the practice of mistreating summoned individuals based on rank began to disappear.
Now, all families know to treat everyone equally. The knowledge had been shared with every family head after activating their family tokens.
It was both a warning and a blessing from the Supreme Will, as some of the best talents came from those underestimated in the past.
"Okay, let's do that," Bai Lingyun agreed, "and then let them divide into three groups: the outer elders, the inner elders, and the core elders."
"The outer elders will be responsible for protecting industries that aren't directly under our control.
The inner elders will either work under us to manage our industries or oversee the normal operations of the subspace.
Finally, the core elders will have some decision-making powers, but these individuals will be tested often.
This will not only prevent conspiracies but also ensure that others know they can rise through the ranks if they perform well."
Bai Lingyun and Liu Meiying continued discussing their ideas until they finalized their plan.
Once completed, they sent out the finalized roles to the summoned people. The response was immediate.
Discussions broke out among the summoned people, but surprisingly, none of them were angry or upset about the decisions.
In fact, many of them seemed relieved. They were content knowing they didn't have to fight for high-level positions to gain Xu Qianghua's or the ladies' trust.
Instead, they focused on preparing for what could be the most critical test of their lives.
Seeing this, both Liu Meiying and Bai Lngyun smiled in relief as they could see that all the people summoned had honest hearts and were not here for personal gain, which is a good thing in the early stages of the family's growth.
While all of this was happening in the subspace, Liu Anwei and Bai Xueyan were in Nexara, carefully clearing out the nearby mountains of all dangers.
"Hey sister Anwei, why are we killing all these beasts?" Bai Xueyan asked as she killed another wild beast that looked like a boar but was much bigger and much more bulky.
These are one of the most common wild beasts in this world as they are mainly used by the World's Will to fill up the world.
But it got the idea for these kinds of beasts from the same authors that it had used before, so it is not like the World's Will knows everything.
