Chapter 80: Getting experience
After processing this, I slowly turned to look at Bing Xin.
When she saw me look over, she tilted her head slowly to slant it up before saying, "You know how much I depend on Su Chen and I'm willing to let him go just because it's you. You better be grateful."
When I saw this, I couldn't help revealing a smile before saying, "Un, thank you."
I turned back to Bing Lan and asked, "Then what should I do now?"
Bing Lan calmly said, "Now? You get experience before you take the Irregular License Exam."
"Experience? How?" I asked in a confused voice.
Bing Lan shook her head and gave a sigh, "How else would you get experience? You have to go into the dungeons and break zones for experience."
I was fine with this since I wanted to go into them in the first place to get money and increase my abilities in the first place.
However, then Bing Lan said something that caught me off guard.
"Su Chen will bring you to your new team and you can work with them to see where you go."
"Team?" I couldn't help asking.
Bing Lan narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying with a smile, "I know that you might prefer to go at it alone, but you should know that there are benefits to going with a team as well."
I knitted my brows when I heard this, but I couldn't deny that she was right.
The only problem was that…I didn't want to get caught up in having to manage relationships between groups.
In most groups that were assigned to work together like this, there would be some kind of power dynamic or some kind of special relationship that would ruin it. So if I was going to make a group, I really wanted to make a group with people that I already knew.
Bing Lan could naturally see what I was thinking, so she said, "I've personally handpicked this group for you. It's a group of our best talents from this year, so I'm sure that you won't be disappointed. Unless that is you don't trust me."
As expected of a guild master of one of the largest guilds…she really was shrewd.
As soon as she added the line at the end, I had no choice but to accept.
After all, if I still rejected at this point, it would be like insulting her to her face since she had put her name on it.
So with a sigh, I said, "Alright, since you've strong armed me into this…I guess I have no choice."
Bing Lan came forward and actually grabbed my arm before twisting.
I found that I wasn't able to resist at all as she twisted my arm, so I could only bend forward as she pushed me down.
Then she said with a smile, "Now it can really be considered strong arming."
I just revealed a bitter smile when I heard this.
It seemed that this guild master of ours really liked to play around and didn't hold back even against new members…
But the fact that she could act this way around even new members showed that she was a friendly guild master and that this guild must run the same way.
This was the kind of guild that I wanted to join since it would be easier for me to take advantage of them in the future.
After teasing me a bit longer, the two sisters finally let me go with Su Chen.
Su Chen just waved at me to follow him and we headed to the elevator.
Instead of going up, he pressed a button to bring us to one of the basement levels.
Seeing this, I couldn't help thinking…was I about to get initiated into something?
But that worry wasn't necessary as when we arrived, I found that he had brought us to a gym.
I couldn't help asking, "Aren't we going to meet the other members of the group and then heading to a dungeon or a break zone?"
Su Chen shook his head before saying, "It's not that easy to arrange a dungeon raid as a guild. We need to prepare everything and set up the appointment, so it'll take at least a day or two before we can go."
I was surprised by this, but when I thought about it, it seemed right.
A guild sending people into the dungeon was very different from an unaffiliated Awakener entering a dungeon.
Guilds had much more resources and cared about their members, so they would prepare all the things that they needed. This would be much better and thorough than anything that unaffiliated Awakeners could prepare for themselves.
After all, there was a large support team with each guild.
But this did take time since there was a lot to gather, so waiting was inevitable.
At the same time, sending notice that a guild team was going to raid a dungeon would mean being treated more preferentially than going alone.
So it was all worth the wait.
But that still didn't answer why they were here in the gym.
So I asked, "Why are we here then?"
Su Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "You know what my specialty is, right?"
As he said this, he also made sure to flex his muscles.
When I saw this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
With how buff he was, it was hard to not understand what his specialty was. The only problem was why was he flexing this now?
Seeing the way that I looked at him, Su Chen continued by saying, "I already said that you had a beautiful physique. Now, all we need to do is help it blossom."
When I heard this, I realized what Su Chen was planning on doing here.
Plain and simple, he was planning on having me work out.
The cover that I used was that my Suggestion skill allowed me to remove my limits and make myself stronger. The limit to this was my body.
If my body couldn't withstand my limits being removed, then I wouldn't be able to use my ability.
I finally understood why Bing Lan had set Su Chen as my personal porter.
He was here to be my personal body trainer.
After all, I had a physique that didn't have any limits. As long as I kept working out, my physique would become better and better.
Since they had gone this far for me, I had no reason to object.
This would help me grow stronger and what I needed now was strength.
So I looked at Su Chen with a determined look and said, "I'll be counting on you."
Su Chen revealed a wide smile when he saw I understood what he was implying. He then relaxed his muscles and came over with that same smile on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I'll be sure to work…you…hard."
I couldn't help feeling a chill run down my spine when I heard this, but I still said with a nod, "Please take care of me."
Who knew that this would be the worst mistake in my life.
