He smiled while imagining the storm such an offer would make in the entire spirit mastermunity in the academy and the surrounding ns if words spread out, "that''s my bottomline for the yearly allowance for anyone joining me."


    "Y... Yearly allowance!!!"


    "We are going to get one of these?!!!"


    "Damn! Are you telling the truth?!!!"


    "Howe you have such wealth?!!!"


    All of them got instantly scared from his words, looking at him, then at the cores, then at him again without knowing what went in his mind to make such a generous and out of this world offer.


    Thest one to speak was Sara. She got to see lots of treasures and had ess to a little wealth of her own at any time. But seeing William, an ex-porter, one who came from a nameless family, one without backing of any kind, taking such precious cores out, and dared to make such an offer, made her mind blow off!


    "Like I said," William was smiling, and added without answering any of their questions, "I''m looking for trusted elites, the ones who are worthy to join the team. And this? This is nothingpared to what they''ll get if they join us."


    His words weren''t just directed towards those they''d select, but also to them. He wasn''t referring to more wealthing their way, but to the brilliantly amazing techniques and knowledge he''d teach all of them.


    In his eyes, a single technique like one of the three he taught them already was worth tens of such cores! If not more!


    William didn''t know that paying sry to the ones inside any team was something that usually didn''t exceed one thousand crystals per year at the most famous teams.


    And now? William simply took out a dark gold core, one that would worth at least fifty thousand spirit crystals at least in the standard market price, and he offered each and every single one of them one core as a payment.


    He didn''t even show these cores to them and then retook them. Any team would pay their members at the end of the year period, after assessing their overall performance and deducting any punishment applied to them during this period.


    However, William took these cores, left one in front of each one, crossed his arms, and kept looking at them without showing any intention of taking a single core back!


    That meant he nned to pay them ahead. And that was quite shocking!


    William truly didn''t mind giving out a little of what he had in return of obtaining trustworthy and capable members in his team.


    Impressing these four and giving them upfront payment would make them work harder and their words would hold more weight. Not to mention, if anyone questioned such sick reward, they''d only take out their cores as a proof.


    As for worrying about any of them going out and never showing his face again, William wasn''t even a bit worried about that. Aside from trusting these four, he knew they tasted the benefits of being by his side. And this wasn''t limited to this core.


    He knew that after dealing with him for a little time, everyone would ce tons of importance on joining his team for what he''d offer them in terms of knowledge and experience, not for the promised cores!


    As for his cores, he got enough to arm up a one hundred team members and sustain their needs for almost ten years if he wanted to.


    But he''d never do that! He knew if he got twenty capable spirit masters in his team after the filtering and testing process, then he''d be quite lucky.


    He''d not give anyone any cores just for joining this trip. These cores would be like the promised payment if they proved their worth.


    He knew these four would gain lots of spirit masters joining the team if they spread the news. He didn''t want it to happen, but he knew it was something inevitable.


    Once one learnt about such an offer, he''d tell others, and so on. So, he expected many to try and join the team, even actively asking any of these four to take him in.


    And so, it was up to him next to filter them out.


    He''d spend at most thirty up to forty of such cores. And that wasn''t a big loss to him.


    Building up a team would take lots of his wealth, as he intended to follow the role model in the outer world when establishing his team.


    Be it purchasing a ce, providing different resources for the team to use, even securing good gears and potions would be something he had to do.


    Not to mention his bigger n about going towards the capital, which needed lots of expenditure as well.


    William didn''t n on using his own wealth in doing all that. He''d reap benefits from the missions the team would aplish. At the same time, the loot of their outside journeys and adventure would pay for many expenses.


    In addition to that, he didn''t n on limiting his recruitment n here. He already was a member of the Forging department and ced a foot in the Alchemy department.


    He wanted to recruit more disciples from these two departments, giving these spirit masters the rightful treatment they should get.


    Of course, he''d not ept anything they knew from this world and would provide tons of knowledge from his past life and impart these over to them.


    He nned to turn them into real formidable spirit masters worthy of their secondary professions, not the kind of losers they were at right now in this world.


    If he managed to find real talents, ones like the calibre of Kong, ones he could trust and nourish without any worry, then he''d secure the entire problem of providing good gears and potions to his team.


    William even thought about such issues, and already put ns to solve all of them.
