Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 867 - 421: Guild Points! (Double - )_2

"I see, then let’s wait until I’m level 10 and we can go together. With increased difficulty, the rewards should be better, right?"

"Yes, the difficulty rises much more than simply adding a level 5 companion.

Of course, with your abilities, you can manage even a sharp jump in difficulty."

"Then I’m relieved."

While chatting, they had already dashed into the fifth ring.

A handful of lord-grade source beasts roamed this zone.

As the inner areas widened with depth, Chen Mo and Sun Wu faced fewer stray monsters on their path.

They didn’t hunt for beasts intentionally; they simply slew any they met.

Only as they neared the exit of the fifth ring toward the fourth did a lord-grade source beast appear at the limit of their sight.

Sun Wu glanced at Chen Mo, checking if he wished to strike it down.

Chen Mo grinned and shook his head.

Ahead lay monsters offering far more experience; wasting time on one wasn’t worthwhile.

Pressing on, they swiftly entered the fourth ring’s domain.

Inside the fourth ring, lord-grade source beasts dominated the foes.

Yet the fourth ring’s vast expanse dwarfed the fifth’s, leading to rarer monster clashes.

After leaping roughly five kilometers, Chen Mo and Sun Wu spotted three lord-grade source beasts.

These three lord-grade source beasts were locked in combat, amusing Chen Mo.

Was the inner ring too calm, sparking fights between them?

Regardless of their skirmish, Chen Mo could obliterate them in a flash.

After all, a lord-grade source beast boasted just 40 growth points per level; at level 10, that meant 4000 points of Origin Life Force and 400 points of Defensive Amplification.

Against Chen Mo’s assault, enhanced by 1100 points of Cosmic Source Force and 1050 points of Attack Amplification, it outmatched King-grade source beasts’ power—their vitality and defenses fell short.

The three lord-grade source beasts had been clashing fiercely, but detecting Chen Mo and Sun Wu, they halted their feud and glared menacingly at the duo.

Chen Mo and Sun Wu remained unfazed by the sight.

As the Emperor Bell swept above Chen Mo’s head, a horrifying force crashed toward the three lord-grade source beasts that had been battling each other moments before.

Realizing flight was needed, it was far too late for them.

The moment the devastating energy surged by, the three lord-grade source beasts exploded into heaps of shredded flesh.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You successfully killed a level 10 lord-grade source beast, gaining 80 experience points.

Since you surpassed 5 levels to kill them, your experience points are multiplied by 5, giving you a total of 480 experience points.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Due to killing a level 10 lord-grade source beast, your survival time is extended by 3 minutes.

Since this was a level-surpassing kill of 5 levels, you gain an additional 18 minutes of survival time.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: ...]

...

Three Heavenly Path’s hints rang out, granting Chen Mo 1440 experience points at once.

One more such encounter would push him to level up.

Slaying the three lord-grade source beasts yielded handsome rewards too. By Sun Wu’s estimate, each beast’s materials fetched around 500 Cosmic Source Crystals.

In a blink, Chen Mo had pocketed the equivalent of 1500 Cosmic Source Crystals.

Repaying the guild’s loan would be effortless now.

Once Chen Mo dispatched the lord-grade source beasts, Sun Wu advised, "Materials from source beasts beyond lord-grade are scarce, so avoid selling them externally; sell to the guild instead.

Their buy price might undercut the market, but they often toss in extra guild points.

Use those points to trade for superior items in the guild vault—far better than raw Cosmic Source Crystals."

"Do all guilds operate this way?"

"Pretty much."

"I see."

Though Sun Wu stressed experience gains, Chen Mo preferred swapping loot for Cosmic Source Crystals.

His Composing Ability let him merge low-tier items into high-value ones effortlessly.

Thus, dumping goods to the guild for points at reduced rates profited less than direct sales.

"Sure, plenty hits the open market, but top-tier items stay off it—usually kept in-guild or swapped among leaders."

"So guild points remain crucial."

Once Sun Wu was added, Chen Mo made a mental note of his advice.

Should he ever require items exclusive to the guild, he'd have no choice but to trade some goods to the guild cheaply for guild points.

With the loot safely gathered, Chen Mo chose not to hoard it all; instead, he split half with Sun Wu.

"Brother Sun Wu, take half of this."

"What are you saying?"

"We've traveled together, and you've guided me safely here, filling me in on everything, so splitting the rewards feels right. Keeping it all would make me look greedy." Chen Mo chuckled.

"No need for that. As a fresh face in your early growth phase, prioritize your own progress. Future joint ventures will give chances to share; given your talent, you'll outpace me here before long.

"At that point, opportunities to gain from your rise will abound, hoping you won't mind my weakness then." Sun Wu grinned.

"Never."

With Sun Wu insisting so, Chen Mo took the full share guilt-free.

Forcing it on Sun Wu might imply he was just grabbing now without future thoughts.

Loot in hand, Chen Mo and Sun Wu pressed on with spatial leaps toward Sea King City's Central Area.

Arriving there, the emptiness around them stood out starkly.

The inner rings expand, yet source beasts dwindle in number.

Fourth ring zones already show rare source beast sightings.

Curious what source beast spread awaits in the next third ring.

After leaping over five kilometers more, another lord-grade source beast appeared at last.

Just a single one, though.

Barring their route perfectly, Chen Mo dispatched it effortlessly en route.

Slaying it with ease, Chen Mo claimed materials from the source beast valued at 500 Cosmic Source Crystals.

Experience now hit 2215, needing only one more lord-grade source beast for Level 6 upgrade.

Finding that next one proved tricky.

Not until exiting the inner fourth ring into the inner third did they spot another source beast.

"Source beast habitats are so inefficiently spread; mighty ones are scarce across huge territories."

Chen Mo griped.

Even distribution would yield unknown riches for him.

"Source beasts operate that way; their ranks enforce rigid order.

Lower ranks enter expansive top-tier domains only with permission from elites.

Typically, elite source beasts shun crowds; harsh outer threats force this setup to safeguard their kind's growth." Sun Wu chuckled.

As Chen Mo grumbled over scarce foes, shockingly, right upon third ring entry, two tyrant-grade source beasts emerged, offering far richer experience than previous lord-grade ones.
