Chapter 93: Chapter 16: Strong Desire, Elf, Soul Coexistence

[Sisters], [Master-Servant], [Mother-Daughter]

Su Xuan stared at the three tags, lost in a difficult decision.

The[Master-Servant]tag was of no practical value. He didn’t want a master-servant dynamic among his Guild members, so he could eliminate that one. However,[Sisters]and[Mother-Daughter]gave him pause.

Su Xuan had learned a few things about this game’s Elf Race from Liu Xue. Elves were beings born from the Elf Mother Tree, making the tree their mother. Conceptually, all Elves could be considered sisters.

’Then, if I choose the Mother-Daughter tag, can I summon the Elf Mother Tree?’

The answer was no. Only units with a need—those who wanted to grow stronger or earn money with the Guild’s help—could become recruitment targets.

In other words, figures like the Elf Queen, the King of the Star Kingdom, or the Bright Pope could never become Adventurers. They had no such needs, so they would naturally never appear in a Player’s recruitment pool.

But there were exceptions, like Rosaline.

She was an Undead, but her intense desire for rebirth to complete her unfinished business drove her to appear in the recruitment pool.

However, these were the game’s recruitment rules. ’Do they apply to my tag selection?’ He couldn’t be certain, but it was highly probable.

’Unless... I really can’t find a suitable target in the recruitment pool?’

As a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, Su Xuan went back to choosing his tags.

’Since the Elf Mother Tree can’t be recruited, does that mean combining the[Mother-Daughter]and[Elf]tags is a mistake?’

That might not be the case. The very reason Liu Xue had gone to the library was because of an Elf Mother who had been imprisoned by her own Elf Race.

Su Xuan rubbed the bridge of his nose. ’If I recruit an Elf Mother who’s currently nursing, my hope of getting two combat-ready units from a single recruitment will be dashed.’

’The[Mother-Daughter]tag might hold a surprise, but the[Sisters]tag is more reliable!’

’Damn these tags! Why is this so hard?!’

After much deliberation, he finally chose [Sisters].

"Alright! Let’s do this!"

Su Xuan took a deep breath and brought out the Green Recruitment Scroll.

He tossed it toward the sky. In an instant, the Guild was filled with a brilliant light that twinkled like a sky full of stars. Su Xuan’s vision was quickly filled with eight tag options.

[Elf][Pockmarked][Cook][Headless][Cunning][Hairless][Great-Grandma][Lost All Hope]

Su Xuan stared at the eight tags on the screen. Aside from the locked-in [Elf] tag, the rest were rather abstract.

He took a deep breath. With 14 rerolls remaining, he chose to refresh[Pockmarked],[Hairless], and[Lost All Hope].

"Reroll!"

[Pufferfish][Extreme Sports Enthusiast][Elemental Pure Body]

’[Elemental Pure Body]?’ Su Xuan was puzzled. He thought for a moment and decided to keep that tag, then reroll the other three junk tags.

[Loves Tattoos][Adorable][Soul Coexistence]

’[Soul Coexistence]?’ Upon seeing this tag, Su Xuan made his decision.

"This is it!" he said with determination.

[Your selection is: Strong Desire Elf Sisters with Soul Coexistence and Elemental Pure Body!]

[Now recruiting a suitable Adventurer...]

As the notification sound faded, the brilliant light in the Guild illuminated every corner. Two elegant silhouettes emerged from the light, their presence instantly suffusing the Guild with a new radiance.

They spoke in unison, bowing to Su Xuan. "We, High Elves Beiya Fuli and Beira Furo, pay our respects to the President!"

"Oh?"

Su Xuan carefully examined his two new Elves. They looked identical, both with pale blonde hair tied back in a single ponytail, skin as fair as jade, and elegant figures that emanated a distinctly youthful aura. The only difference was the color of their eyes.

Beiya Fuli’s eyes were a fiery red, like burning Flame, while Beira Furo’s were a tranquil blue, like a clear lake. This seemed to hint at their personalities.

Compared to Beiya Fuli, Beira Furo seemed somewhat shy. Her gaze shifted about, not daring to meet Su Xuan’s eyes directly. At the same time, the two sisters’ status panels unfolded before him.

[Beiya Fuli (Epic)]

Level: 10 (0/2000)

Race: Elf

Power: 120 / Agility: 110 / Magic Power: 180 / Physique: 110

Growth: 10 (Gains 10 points to All Attributes per level)

Skills: (Expand)

Traits:[Strong Desire][Elf][Soul Coexistence][Elemental Pure Body][Sisters]

[Strong Desire: A greedy desire intensifies! Uncontrollable! Emotions regarding the object of desire reach an extreme! Provides a 100% combat power boost toward the ’Desire Target’! (Current Desire Targets: 2)!]

[Elf: Benefits from the blessing of the Elf Mother Tree. Natural Magic Power recovery speed is increased by 100%, and Elemental Magic Power potency is increased by 50%.]

[Soul Coexistence: Their Perception, Magic Power, souls, and all other aspects are shared between them, forming a single, inseparable symbiotic entity.]

[Elemental Pure Body: Has reached the pinnacle of mastery over one Elemental Magic Power and possesses complete immunity to that Element.]

[Sisters: They are Elf Sisters.]

As for Beira Furo’s status panel, it was completely identical aside from some minor differences in her Attributes.

The only thing that puzzled Su Xuan was why their "Current Desire Targets" was listed as two. ’Besides each other, do they share another target for their Strong Desire?’

Based on the current situation, that target probably wasn’t him, as he didn’t feel any combat power boost from the[Strong Desire]trait.

Su Xuan smiled. "Welcome to my Guild, you two Adventurers from the Elf Race!"

The moment he finished speaking, Beiya Fuli immediately made a request. "Please grant us a mission, Mr. President!" Her tone was urgent, as if she possessed a desperate and obsessive need to complete missions.

"Yes, yes!"

The timid Beira Furo also pleaded with Su Xuan. "Mr. President, please, we beg you to give us a mission~"

Hearing this, Su Xuan immediately understood they were facing some kind of difficulty that required more funds or power.

"Alright."

He nodded, deciding to give the Elf Sisters a non-combat mission. Considering their levels weren’t high enough to handle E-Level combat missions, a non-combat one would be more suitable.

"A mission to collect pearls?" After briefly reviewing the mission description, Beiya Fuli gave Su Xuan a determined look and promised, "Please rest assured, Mr. President. We will definitely complete the mission!"

They then quickly stepped into the Teleportation Array to head to the mission location. Seeing the two Elves’ enthusiasm for the work, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.

’This might be nice,’ he thought. ’Unlike Ivsha, who’s been obsessed with draining my Life Magic Power ever since the church crisis was resolved.’

"Next up..."

After the Elf Sisters left, Su Xuan took out an item. It was a blue, pyramid-shaped fragment that emitted a faint azure glow.

’Why would the Saintly Soul take this form?’ Su Xuan wondered, gazing at the item in his hand.

[Saintly Soul (Epic): This precious relic contains the wisdom of a Saint. Opening it grants three High-tier Magic Scrolls and one clue left by the Saint.]

’High-tier Magic Scrolls? A clue from a Saint?’

Curiosity piqued, Su Xuan decided to try opening the Saintly Soul.

[Successfully opened!]

[Obtained Magic Scrolls: Meteor Technique (High Tier), Water Element Summoning Skill (High Tier), Soul Shattering Technique (High Tier)]

[Clue from the Saint: He was last seen in the Land of the Fallen Dragon. (Recommended Level: 40)]

Su Xuan frowned slightly, puzzled by the seemingly vague clue.

’Is this simply telling me the Saint’s last known location? Or is there a deeper meaning hidden here?’

Considering that Giant Dragons were usually top-tier creatures in games, Su Xuan decided it was best not to venture anywhere near there at his current level.

"Mr. Su Xuan~" Ivsha appeared at his side and asked curiously, "Were those two ladies new Guild members?"

"Yes," Su Xuan nodded. "A pair of Elf Sisters. You can get to know each other when they return from their mission."

"Okay~" Ivsha chirped. She then suddenly remembered something important and said quickly, "Oh, right! Mr. Su Xuan, something’s strange with Rosaline. I don’t understand her current Status. Please, could you go take a look?"

"Rosaline?"

Su Xuan immediately stood up and hurried over to where Rosaline was.

Rosaline was sitting cross-legged in the Guild’s training room, but her current Status was unusual.

Her entire body was emitting a faint, blueish fluorescent light, and the Soul Light Wings on her back were flashing with a dazzling luminescence.

’What’s this?’

As soon as Su Xuan approached Rosaline, a notification popped into his view.

[Rosaline’s favorability has reached 100! Prerequisite mission complete! Character mission unlocked!]

[A Knight’s Daily Training!]

[Mission Recommended Level: 10]

[Mission Description: Rosaline wishes for someone to join her in her daily Knight training (three times)...]

[Mission Objective: Participate in Rosaline’s Knight training!]

[Mission Reward: Rosaline’s rank-up material (Can obtain a new trait)]

"Oh?" A glint flashed in Su Xuan’s eyes. ’Rosaline’s character mission seems a bit simple. Just join her for daily Knight training?’

’But why is the Recommended Level higher than Ivsha’s character mission?!’
