Chapter 439: Chapter 314: Treat me well, Nightmare Demon Palace

The staff member seemed dazed for a long time, soon realizing that the young man before him was likely a big figure who had come out from a higher-ranked Soul Hall. His att.i.tude changed immediately.

“What does the internal trading in Soul Hall look like? Tell me the basics.” Chu Mu retrieved his Soul Capture Ring, and started asking.

The staff member became visibly more serious and hurriedly said, “That’s no problem, sir. I understand that talented young people like yourself often don’t have time to understand these trivial things, and we can explain them to you in the simplest way possible.”

“In Dun City Soul Hall, oh, to my knowledge all city Soul Hall’s internal trade systems are the same. Soul Hall will acc.u.mulate all kinds of treasures, such as young pets from all realms and types, special medicines, treasured soul armors, rare spirit items, precious soul techniques…”

“Dun city is a hub city for several Earth Realms. Members in the vicinity who need to exchange treasures or exchange for gold coins typically do it through our Dun City Soul Hall. Therefore, Dun City Soul Hall’s trading list for each category often spans several pages, and we have almost everything. Apart from some extremely special items, our Dun City Soul Hall can offer anything. Moreover, we can also contact other realm Soul Halls, and we have listed their treasury items. If you are satisfied with any item, you can purchase it here, and we will deliver the item here within a certain time frame.”

Chu Mu nodded. The trading system in the Nightmare Demon Palace operated in a similar manner. The Palace had a large group of members dedicated to the trading and tallying of various treasures, which is then listed in a mural-like catalog on the hall’s wall. If someone is interested in an item, they can directly approach the relevant staff to purchase it, as long as they can pay the required amount or exchange an item of equivalent value and pay the difference.

Whether it’s the Nightmare Demon Palace or the Soul Hall, the aim of such trade is to generate profit. Soul Hall and the Nightmare Demon Palace also reap huge liquid funds from it.

Unlike the Business a.s.sociation’s method of trading, these two major powers do not conduct auctions internally – most of the time everything is clearly marked with a price and what other valuable items could be used for exchange. Another important point is that these two powers can obtain some advantages and conveniences based on their contribution level.

These advantages could be used to buy, at a privilege discount, certain items that are priced higher outside. This privilege discount is determined by the t.i.tle level – generally speaking, the higher the t.i.tle level, the higher the discount.

There are certain restrictions, though. For example, this discount privilege can only be used a certain number of times in a year, to avoid high-level members from profiting through arbitrage.

These privilege discounted purchases can also present a problem. The price of most items tends to fluctuate, and if, after discount, the Soul Hall’s goods are still more expensive than those outside the Soul Hall…

It depends on whether a member is willing to pay the difference to obtain the contribution value from the Soul Hall.

The contribution system of the Soul Hall is not much different from that of the Nightmare Demon Palace—it is very straightforward in terms of transactions.

Generally, there are three main ways to obtain t.i.tles in the Soul Hall: one is to obtain recognized honors in important compet.i.tions in the Soul Hall.

The second is to greatly support the Soul Hall financially.

The third is to constantly trade and obtain the so-called trade value. When the contribution’s trade value reaches a certain level, one can be promoted to that level’s t.i.tle.

It should be noted that the Soul Hall has very strict regulations on attempts to obtain t.i.tles through speculative loopholes. Once discovered, severe punishment is almost always given.

Additionally, the Soul Hall’s growth requirements for the younger generation are extremely strict. Younger generation members do not enjoy any privileges in the Soul Hall, nor can they receive high-level t.i.tles through promotion from their families, teachers, or elders. If young generation members want to have a t.i.tle, they need to follow the above patterns.

This strictness applies to the Young Master of the Soul Hall as well. The so-called Young Master is not a t.i.tle, but merely a status. The Young Master usually holds a Tenth Level Vice Order. Vice Order holders can only enjoy protection and respect from other Soul Hall members, and cannot use it as their actual t.i.tle in private. They have no privileges.

So, in fact, although Chu Mu is currently the Young Master of Soul Hall, his zero-level t.i.tle does not give him any privileges in internal trading. Such a strict system exists in all city Soul Halls!

t.i.tles, notwithstanding representing the ident.i.ty and status of a soul pet master, have all kinds of benefits. Therefore, many soul pet masters will do their best to partic.i.p.ate in various compet.i.tions, engage in internal trading in Soul Hall, or accept internal affairs of Soul Hall to acc.u.mulate their own contributions, aiming to achieve a certain level of t.i.tle.

Soul Hall has clearly stated the conditions to receive a certain level t.i.tle. For instance, to achieve a First Level t.i.tle, three conditions must be met: exchange value, gold coin value, and t.i.tle value.

The exchange value refers to the amount of internal trading in Soul Hall.

The gold coin value refers to the amount of money donated to the Soul Hall, similar to a one-time tax payment.

The t.i.tle value is obtained through compet.i.tion, tasks, positions, and deeds and is measured by t.i.tle level.

The values needed to achieve a first level t.i.tle are as follows:

Exchange Value: At least 20,000 in trades within the Soul Hall.

Gold Coin Value: Donations to Soul Hall must be more than 10,000 gold coins.

t.i.tle Value: Complete one thing that can earn a first level t.i.tle. t.i.tle value is typically seen in: winning compet.i.tions, completing tasks a.s.signed by the Soul Hall, holding a position for a certain period, doing extra work for the Soul Hall, etc.…

All three conditions must be met simultaneously. However, in reality, exceeding a single condition can also result in achieving that t.i.tle level.

For example, to acquire a first level t.i.tle, if your exchange value reaches 100,000 and the other conditions are not met, you can still receive a first level t.i.tle.

Or, you can contribute 50,000 or more gold coins to the Soul Hall at no cost, and obtain the value of five first-level t.i.tles.

To obtain the t.i.tles by fulfilling any condition alone, the requirement normally needs to be five times higher.

So when obtaining a t.i.tle, everyone would consider carefully how to choose. If you simply invest money to get a t.i.tle, the amount of money you need to pay is very substantial.

The conditions for the second level t.i.tles are not much different.

Exchange value: reach 100 traded items, of course, the traded items must be above the second level. (10 first-level items count as 1 second-level item)

Money value: you must unconditionally contribute 30,000 gold coins to the Soul Hall.

t.i.tle value: do something that can gain the value of the second-level t.i.tle.

If one of the conditions is met, that condition must be reached five times to obtain the t.i.tle.

The condition for a third level t.i.tle is getting steeper, the money value has increased to 50,000. If one is to satisfy the condition singly, one needs to pay 250,000 gold coins in exchange, which is equivalent to buying a low-level Commander-level Soul Pet.

As for achieving higher-level t.i.tles, the money, trade value, and t.i.tle value you need to pay are even more substantial.

Chu Mu quickly glanced and realized that if he wants to obtain a seventh-level t.i.tle in the Soul Hall, he needs to pay at least 20 million a.s.sets to the Soul Hall, trade 40 million in value, and complete a seventh-level t.i.tle-valued task!

“Nightmare Demon Palace, oh, Nightmare Demon Palace, you have treated me well!” Chu Mu exclaimed deeply when he discovered that so many conditions must be met to obtain a seventh-level t.i.tle.

When Chu Mu had first walked out from Prison Island, he was directly given the t.i.tle of Seventh-level Henghai Young Master Yan. If the contribution systems of the Soul Hall and the Nightmare Demon Palace are somewhat similar, then Chu Mu’s seventh-level t.i.tle is worth 20 million gold coins and a series of other conditions. Considering Chu Mu’s situation at the time, this is indeed a very advantageous condition.

Chu Mu was naturally given this seventh-level t.i.tle because he survived on Prison Island. The t.i.tle value of survival on Prison Island should be equivalent to five seventh-level t.i.tle values, so Chu Mu was able to obtain a seventh-level t.i.tle without paying any contributions. Chu Mu would later regret why he didn’t understand these systems first, at least get some benefits from the Nightmare Demon Palace before leaving.

Chu Mu only knew a little about the privileges of the Nightmare Demon Palace’s seventh-level t.i.tle, but at least when he was in Gangluo City, Chu Mu could have dozens of Nightmare Demon Palace subordinates help him eliminate the Yang Family, this was a direct manifestation of status.

t.i.tles in the Soul Hall also have such privileges, and what surprised Chu Mu extremely was that many benefits and conveniences can be gained each month with the seventh-level t.i.tle.

First: every month, one can purchase an eighth-level or below treasure at a 30% discount.

Second: every year, one can choose a Commander-level Soul Pet at random. If the Soul Hall has a suitable Soul Pet, one can choose first and purchase it at a 30% discount.

Third: each year, one can receive one seventh-level soul technique with an integrity close to 90%.

Fourth: one seventh-level Soul Core is given as a gift every day.

Fifth: within the range of the Soul Hall, treatment from a supplementary type Soul Pet Master can be received for free.

All other conditions are a series of facilitating benefits, but the first three conditions of the t.i.tles are especially tempting, particularly the ability to purchase eighth-level or below treasures at a 30% discount.

An eighth level or below treasure costs nearly tens of millions, and being able to get a 30% discount saves several million. If the price of the item is higher, one could possibly save nearly tens of millions of capital!

Even without holding any positions in the Soul Hall, using it well can save more than five hundred thousand a.s.sets within a single month. But if a position is held in the t.i.tle of the Soul Hall, the wage is given monthly, and benefits are distributed annually, the gain is high.

Chu Mu has roughly calculated that if a seventh-level t.i.tle position is held, and worked well for a year, one can earn more than 50 million in a.s.sets.

These 50 million in a.s.sets, all invested in a Soul Pet, can strengthen a Soul Pet into a Monarch-level combat power.

The t.i.tle differs from the position, if only having a t.i.tle, one is not directly constrained by the Soul Hall, one can go wherever one wants.

Compared to something like the Soul Hall Master, positions need to manage the internal affairs of the Soul Hall and execute some necessary tasks daily. Every month salaries are distributed as well as the most direct power.

Seeing these systems in the Soul Hall, Chu Mu had the urge to get a t.i.tle, then hold some position for one or two years, to get more money, instead of risking his life every day to make money in the wilderness…

(When writing this piece, I found a problem with the t.i.tle system, so I had to think of another system on the spot, which took me nearly three hours to write this chapter. I am truly sorry that it is only now updated~~~~~~~~~)(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at . Your support is my biggest motivation.)
