Chapter 1337  Duties of a Guildmaster (2)

    Ding!

    [You have chosen to build a Rudimentary Statue of Awakening.]

    Just as the system gave him confirmation on the building he wanted to construct, a cacophony of construction sounds began to echo from the area he selected for the building, causing immense glee to appear on Valyr''s face.

    Thinking back to all of the times he accompanied the leader of his previous guild whenever the latter constructed buildings for the guild, the young man watched the process with rapt attention, feeling a sense of inner peace the more he watched it. @@@@

    By the time the sight before him changed into that of a 5 meter tall horse statue, it was only then did Valyr snap back to reality, letting out a long sigh filled with both relief and contentment.

    Not long after that, he then began to feel a newfound sense of strength coursing throughout his body, causing a faint smile to adorn his face as he looked at the horse statue once more.

    Seeing that the horse statue had done what it pretty much told him to do, Valyr took a look at the guild information screen once more, curious as to whether it would show the statue''s effects as a perk or as a separate item.

    Ding!

    ————

    [Azure Coalition] (Lv. 1)

    Guild Type: All-around

    Guild Perks:

     19% increase in XP gain

     19% increase in gold gained during trades

    "At that point, we were just sightseeing," said Meria after that, to which Lucques nodded in agreement.

    "The cities are a nice place to stay in."

    "They really are." Valyr nodded in agreement, only to give them a knowing smile. "But we didn''t meet up just to talk about that, no?"

    "Of course not." Thomas and the others shook their heads, only to then look back at him with a bit of excitement. "The guild is already up, right?"

    "Took me a bit longer than I thought to meet all of the requirements, but yes." Valyr grinned in response.

    "The Azure Coalition has been officially established."

    Seeing the three look at him with even greater excitement after that, the young man gave the three all the time they needed to quell their excitement first before sending them invitations to the guild.

    Unsurprisingly, the three showed no hesitation in accepting the prompt the moment it appeared, only for their eyes to soon widen in surprise as they felt greater strength course through their body all of a sudden.

    "What''s happening...?" Thomas asked Valyr, being the first among them to adjust to the sudden increase in strength.

    "That''s just one of the guild perks taking effect," said the young man in return, which made the three look at him with both curiosity and disbelief.

    Seeing that they wanted to know more about the cause behind their sudden increase in strength, Valyr went ahead and showed them the current perks the guild offered. Though that only made them stare at him in further disbelief.

    "...How long has it been since the guild was established?" asked Thomas, getting a feeling that their friend had spent the entire time they were separated from one another upgrading the guild to what it was at the moment.

    Yet, when he and the other two found out that it had only been a few hours since the guild was actually created, Thomas tried his best not to look at his friend with even greater disbelief.

    "How did you even get it to this level in such a short time?" he asked after that, only to immediately feel guilt the moment he heard Valyr''s response.

    "I''ve invested my share of the profits from the beauty elixir, as well as the XP I''ve left unused to get it to this point," replied Valyr with slight indifference.

    However, when he noticed that the three of them gave him looks of guilt after that, the young man wondered to himself whether or not he should have mentioned what funds he used to upgrade the guild.

    Fortunately, the guilt they felt was merely momentary as the three made a promise to him that they''d invest their part of the profits into the guild once they sold another batch of beauty elixirs.

    Though he found it slightly amusing that his friends still focused on the beauty elixirs even though they were now more lucrative methods available to them, the young man decided to keep that thought to himself for now.

    "So... wanna check the guild hall out?
