The commission board of the guild is covered with various task sheets, all labeled by the clerk with suggested tiers and rewards.

"Aren't we going to the Flashing Field? Shouldn't we take tasks from there?" Dorothy asked while going through the task sheets.

"We need to check the task board there as well."

Li Ang explained that the commissions posted by the guild are of two types: common commissions and localized commissions.

Common commissions can be taken from any branch, and the rewards are the same, while localized commissions can only be submitted at specific branches.

"Since our target is the Flashing Field, let's take all the common tasks that can be done there."

"Alright!" Zoe said eagerly.

"Can we handle it?" Dorothy asked, more concerned about practicality.

"After selecting, they'll go through a filtering process. Since you used to do clerical work, help organize them."

The half-elf nodded, and Li Ang enumerated: "The Flashing Field is teeming with Low Tier Demons like Desert Beasts, Sandstone Spiral Turtles, Poisonous Flying Serpents, and Two-legged Flying Dragons, and larger monsters like the Giant Land Crocodile and Sandnest Maggot are more common.

"Take as many tasks as possible for defeating and collecting materials from Sandstone Spiral Turtles and Poisonous Flying Serpents. Once you get there, you'll understand. Take a few simple ones for Two-legged Flying Dragons, and leave Desert Beasts for last since they usually don't offer good rewards.

"You can take level 4-type tasks for Giant Land Crocodiles, but don't touch the Sandnest Maggots. That's for the demon-related tasks."

"For materials, get tasks for Shimmering Sand, Vortex Amber, and Red Spot Sand Brick; these three have a reasonable difficulty to find."

After giving instructions, Li Ang crossed his arms and watched, leaving the work to the two young girls.

This was to help them get familiar with the process early on.

Another reason was that the moment he picked up a task sheet, the system prompted him.

[Prompt: Completing commissions rewards Professional Points. These points can substitute Professional Experience for career upgrades.]

[Prompt: Open the 'Profession Teaching Panel'. Main Control can accelerate the professional cultivation speed of team members by consuming Professional Points through guidance.]

Exactly like receiving a pillow when you're sleepy.

Li Ang had already thought that although the system offered the possibility of multi-profession mastery, leveling each one could be exhausting, and he might not manage several High Tier professions for a long time.

Moreover, as a group leader, he hardly had any dedicated time for cultivation.

Being able to substitute commissions was more than welcome.

As for accelerating team members' training, Li Ang considered using it carefully to avoid prematurely forcing growth.

Dorothy's efficiency exceeded Li Ang's expectations, and she quickly handed him a stack of task sheets.

He flipped through them briefly, all met the criteria.

"Great job, worthy of a clerk."

"Hehe, of course." The half-elf leaned closer to him, her gaze falling on Zoe, who was flustered beside her.

Zoe could read, but she was more familiar with the language habits on certain weird books, so she often couldn't understand the descriptions and narrations of task commissions, not even recognizing some terms of the demons and materials.

"How does it feel?" Li Ang asked the Little Wild Cat.

Zoe's messy hair was entirely her doing as she grabbed it in frustration, her brow furrowed: "Why is it so complicated? Why can't these tasks just state clearly where to go and kill how many?"

A classic online gamer question, Li Ang couldn't help but laugh and helped tidy her hair before taking the task sheets she had selected.

"It's slow, but they all meet the requirements; we'll go with these."

Afterwards, Li Ang took out the requirements he had written for team member recruitment and handed them to the clerk lady.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sky Knight, but your requirements are not compliant." The clerk said.

"Which part?"

The clerk pointed to the "Gender Requirement: Female" section, quickly retracting her gaze from the two girls to Li Ang with an increasingly strange look.

"This...is because we're worried current members might not adjust well."

"If the team isn't entirely composed of females, you can't ask for that." The clerk explained.

The places Li Ang had been before were mixed-gender, so he didn't know about this regulation.

This path to finding members was blocked before it even started.

But why did the two folks beside him suddenly seem relieved?

"If, if I could harness the power of all the Star Soul and learn all the Professional Abilities, would Li Ang still need more people?" Zoe asked.

Facing her earnest eyes, Li Ang began to choose his words carefully.

Even Dorothy said, "If the Demon-Born Flower continues to grow, I won't be weak either."

"It's great that you both aspire to become stronger, but you have no concept of those top-tier enemies. Unless all of you become Legendary, maybe a few people could match others' twenty or thirty, but three alone won't be enough."

With a sigh, Li Ang said, "Forget it, since we can't recruit through announcements, that method's shelved for now."

He pondered over other possibilities.

Otherwise, should he look for Zoe's 'original companions'?

According to the plan of 'Nebis Fantasy,' Zoe was meant to meet various companions on her journey, all characters intended by the developers to be cards for players to acquire.

Since they joined Zoe's team, considering the designer's intention to profit, those companions should be reliable.

The problem now was he hadn't finished the materials and had no clue who they were or where to find them.

"In any case, let's set sail first."

"Eh? So soon?" Dorothy exclaimed, "I thought we'd explore Frost Heaven Island a bit more?"
