Chapter 395: Salary Increase
Herag took out a Talisman Stone and sent a message to Pries: "I've been promoted to Crystalization Wizard."
He remembered that after being promoted to Crystalization Wizard, the benefits seemed to improve a bit.
Herag's current monthly salary was a thousand Magic Stones, which was determined based on his strength when he first came to Silver Moon City.
As long as there is a breakthrough in promotion, the salary will increase a bit, though for Herag it's just a drop in the bucket, it's better than nothing.
"You've been promoted to Crystalization Wizard?" On the other side of the Talisman Stone, Pries was a bit shocked to see this message.
If he didn't know Herag, he would have thought he was joking with him.
Pries knew that for the past two years, Herag had been meditating at home, never leaving Silver Moon City, and not receiving any tasks.
He originally thought Herag wanted to rest for a few years, after all, he had just returned from a life-and-death experience in a polluted area.
For a Wizard, three years is a very short period of time, and resting for a few years is common.
Pries didn't expect that these past few years, Herag had been wholeheartedly compressing his Spiritual Power, and didn't expect him to ascend to Crystalization Wizard so quickly.
In his view, it would take Herag at least twenty or thirty years to be promoted to Crystalization Wizard, and that would be considered fast.
"Just lucky." Herag replied.
"..."
Pries: "You think I haven't been promoted to Crystalization Wizard, that this can be luck?"
Which Crystalization Wizard has not been through the grinding process of compressing Liquid Spiritual Power bit by bit until they finally succeed.
Herag laughed: "I heard that after being promoted to Crystalization Wizard, there are better benefits?"
"What's there to think about such benefits, even a Crystalization Wizard only gets about fifteen hundred Magic Stones a month. Rather than caring about these, you should think about how to earn more Contribution Points to prepare for promotion to a Level 2 Wizard." Pries said.
"That's so stingy, only an extra five hundred Magic Stones for a Crystalization Wizard." Herag complained.
"With so many Wizards in Serlandir, if that kind of basic benefit was high, who could afford it?" Pries said.
Serlandir, being a large Wizard Organization, has countless Wizards beneath it.
The fifteen hundred Magic Stones Herag receives are without any conditions, as long as you're alive, you'll have it.
So if you want to do nothing, then at least you'll still have fifteen hundred Magic Stones per month, though very few Wizards choose to do nothing.
When the numbers add up, these expenses become a very large sum.
Herag naturally wasn't bothered about this small amount of Magic Stones, he was just informing Pries that he had been promoted.
For a Wizard Organization like Serlandir, there are too many internal personnel.
With so many people, resources are limited and will only be prioritized for distribution to more excellent members.
If Herag kept quiet, he wouldn't receive the appropriate resources, which would slow down his speed of promotion instead.
There are many forms of resources, and various opportunities are also a form of resource.
Herag responded: "I'm also worried about the Contribution Points, if you have any good opportunities, don't forget me."
"Don't worry, if there are any good tasks or such, I'll definitely let you know." Pries said.
The fact that Herag could be promoted to Crystalization Wizard so quickly already indicates his potential.
For a Wizard Organization like Serlandir, they don't care how you improve, as long as your final results are excellent enough, they'll naturally pay more attention to you.
Herag asked: "How many Contribution Points are generally needed to exchange for the Key of Rules?"
He wanted to understand the specific price, three thousand Contribution Points is just a threshold requirement, but the specific amount needed for exchange is still unclear.
Pries answered: "It's not definite, the prices of different types of Keys of Rules are different, and they even vary at different times. But you should at least prepare four or five thousand Contribution Points, and also see if the approval goes through."
"Are there standards or requirements for the approval?" Herag asked.
"The approval mainly checks if there's anything suspicious about you, to prevent you from being an Abyssal Cultist or an undercover from another force. It also checks what contributions you've made to Serlandir, which is very important."
"Generally speaking, if you've made some particularly outstanding contributions, there shouldn't be any problems." Pries explained.
Herag asked: "What counts as particularly outstanding contributions?"
"It's hard to say, there's no standard, generally it means doing something very important for Serlandir." Pries said.
After hearing this, Herag felt he likely didn't have much of a chance since with his current capability, he couldn't accomplish too many things, after all, he's only a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard.
"When you have time, go to the City Hall to register, it'll make it easier to improve your benefits." Pries mentioned lastly.
After chatting with Pries, Herag began to think about how to earn Contribution Points.
Up till now, his Contribution Points were mainly obtained through dealings with Abyssal Cultists, other methods were too slow.
The majority of Serlandir members aren't as quick in promotion as Herag is, for them, obtaining Contribution Points through various daily methods is usually enough when it's time to promote to Level 2 Wizard.
Herag's promotion speed is too fast, causing his Contribution Points to fall short completely compared to his rate of promotion, making it seem so scarce.
Herag sighed, there was no rushing these matters, better to steadily engage in Meditation Practice first.
Abyssal Cultists aren't encountered every day, being anxious wouldn't help either.
Herag walked out of the Meditation Room and found Reese wearing an apron cooking in the kitchen, bending over to check the soup in the pot.
Recently, she learned all sorts of culinary skills, specifically to prepare meals for Herag.
Reese was a young lady of the Cheqi Family, who had never done these things, and now she learned entirely for Herag.
Herag walked over, hugged Reese from behind, and softly said: "I've been promoted to Crystalization Wizard."
Reese's spoon dropped into the pot, and she turned back amazed: "Promoted?"
Herag never mentioned to her about his progress, so Reese didn't know when he could be promoted to Crystalization Wizard.
In Reese's understanding, it would take many years to be promoted to Crystalization Wizard.
In the Cheqi Family, there are also Crystalization Wizards, but without exception, each of them is over a hundred years old, some even two to three hundred years old.
Herag is now only twenty-four, too young.
A Crystalization Wizard in their early twenties is absolutely extraordinary in the Barren Land.
In the Land of Dawn, although not as prominent, he's still definitely considered as a genius.
The genius characters from various Wizard Organizations in the Land of Dawn have various supports from behind since childhood, allowing them to be promoted to Crystalization Wizard in their twenties or even promote to Level 2 Wizard.
But they have extraordinary conditions and also excellent talents to achieve such accomplishments.
And for Herag, coming from the Barren Land, it's extremely challenging to achieve this.
