Chapter 526: 235, generous treatment_2

“Oh?”

The black-clad girl’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the success rate?”

“It depends on the type of divine artifact.” Lin Qing didn’t hold back, simply saying, “Generally, it’s not too bad.”

The black-clad girl nodded and said, “In the Stars Group I’m in, we’ve also hired eleven Star Gods, five of whom can refine single-colored divine artifacts, three can refine two-colored divine artifacts, two can refine three-colored divine artifacts, and one can refine four-colored divine artifacts.”

Lin Qing slightly raised his brow.

He had noticed while looking through the information earlier that the Stars Group was one of the five major forces of the White Tower Civilization and backed by the Holy Master’s lineage.

Now it seems that the Stars Group is even more formidable than imagined.

Most Star Gods are concentrated in the 2.9-level civilizations, and the White Tower Civilization, being a 2.7-level civilization, only has a few dozen Star Gods, and yet eleven of them are in the Stars Group?

“According to the rules, our Stars Group can provide funds for materials freely, up to a thousand units.”

The black-clad girl showed a slight smile and said, “At the same time, this also serves as a bonus. Every time you are requested to refine a divine artifact, the funds for these thousand units of materials will be yours to keep, as long as you can produce the divine artifact in the end.”

She smiled and continued, “In other words, as long as you manage to refine the divine artifact and there’s leftover from the funds, it’s all yours. The higher your success rate, the more you earn.”

Lin Qing slightly raised his brow.

The materials necessary for refining divine artifacts, a thousand units, represent a significant sum of money.

To refine a Five-Colored Artifact, besides using high-level rare materials like Abyss Demon Elephant Heart Skin as the main material, other primary and auxiliary materials are also needed. One batch alone can cost at least tens of millions, even billions, of Void Coins.

A thousand units would be hundreds of billions to over a trillion Void Coins.

As long as the success rate is slightly higher, such as two in a thousand, succeeding once every five hundred times would allow one to earn half of that money.

“The materials, auctions, and so on will all be handled by our Stars Group.”

The black-clad girl said, “The final auction money earned from the divine artifact, after a minimum artifact tax of 5%, our Stars Group takes 10%, and the remaining 85% is yours.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

This commission seems reasonable as well.

The Stars Group not only helps with promotion but also covers the cost of divine artifact refining, which amounts to nearly ten percent of a divine artifact’s value. Perhaps the Stars Group acquires materials at lower prices, but mainly they earn from those price differences.

After all, Star Gods are so rare, if the Stars Group doesn’t offer enough, such cherished talent would undoubtedly be poached.

This treatment is already quite generous.

“Finally, it’s about the base salary our Stars Group offers you.” The black-clad girl said, “Paid every century, for refining single-colored divine artifacts, the salary is one million Void Coins per century.”

“Deal.” Lin Qing nodded and said, “I’ll sign it.”

“You trust me that much?” The black-clad girl smiled, “Not even checking what offers other forces have for you first?”

Lin Qing calmly replied, “It’s just some of the most basic single-colored divine artifacts, nothing too significant. As long as one has the skill, preferential treatment is available everywhere.”

“Well said.”

The black-clad girl admired, “It’s good to work with someone like you.”

She smiled and said, “Rest assured, I can guarantee that the treatment our Stars Group offers you is unequivocally the best.”

Lin Qing slightly nodded and said, “Let’s start early. I need money lately.”

“Okay, I’ll arrange it for you now.” The black-clad girl said, “I’ll take you to the group headquarters now. Once you demonstrate your refining skills, as long as it’s confirmed you can refine divine artifacts, you can sign the contract on the spot.”

“Let’s do it now then,” Lin Qing said.

…

The layout of Holy Star City still somewhat resembles Earth’s cities.

The closer you get to the city center, the closer you are to the origin of the Secret Realm, making it easier to comprehend the Void, so the land and housing prices are more shocking as well.

The Stars Group headquarters is located in the central ring of Holy Star City.

In a vast, palace-like hall with a vintage style, the black-clad girl led Lin Qing and appeared out of thin air.

“Councilor.”

You could see silhouettes appearing within the hall; from the ability to traverse the void, it was obvious they were all of the Void Creature level, and clearly not ordinary Void Creatures.

Th𝖎𝖘 𝕔h𝗮p𝙩єr 𝚒𝙨 pο𝐬𝙩ɛԀ b𝕪 𝗞𝘪𝓉ɛ𝑛𝙤ν𝙚𝘭

According to the chairman of the Stars Group, hiring a new Star God is a major event, so it’s only natural to invite the upper echelons of the council to attend.

You could see multiple high-ranking figures from the Stars Group arriving, two of whom Lin Qing couldn’t see through at all, clearly indicating individuals at the Void Dominator Level.

“Members of the council,”

The black-clad girl swept her gaze over them, smiling calmly, “This is the Star God I just hired, who will cooperate with our Stars Group in the future to refine divine artifacts.”

The high-ranking figures of the Stars Group council immediately looked toward Lin Qing.

Although Lin Qing is only a Star Creature, seemingly capable of only refining single-colored divine artifacts, they dared not underestimate him at all. After all, he’s a Star God with impressive potential, and being personally hired and brought over by the chairman, it was clear he was not ordinary.

“You can call him Jing Guang,” the black-clad girl casually said.

The council members each introduced themselves, their attitudes quite cordial and amicable.

In the White Tower Civilization, the number of Void Dominators actually surpasses that of Star Gods, and combined with the Star God’s uniqueness, their status naturally exceeds that of Void Dominators.

At this moment, two more figures appeared in the hall.

It was a tall woman with long gray hair, indifferently emitting an aura akin to an ice mountain, clearly a Void Dominator.

Behind her followed a white-haired youth, also a Void Creature.

“Ms. Caslock.” The black-clad girl smiled and stepped forward, “I didn’t expect you to come personally?”

Caslock?

Lin Qing’s heart stirred.

Before coming, the chairman had already introduced the Star Gods of the Stars Group to him.

The strongest Star God among them was this tall gray-haired woman ’Caslock’, not only was she a Void Dominator, but her divine state had also evolved to four-colored, crucially, she could refine four-colored divine artifacts.

You should know that the difficulty of refining divine artifacts is very high.

This has nothing to do with one’s realm.

Even a Void Dominator who has fully comprehended space rules, even one with a seven-colored divine state or a chaos colored divine state, would suffer repeated failures if their refining skills weren’t proficient.

Being able to refine four-colored divine artifacts is already quite impressive.

“But…”

Lin Qing was inwardly puzzled, “A Star God at the Void Dominator Level, yet the divine state is only four-colored?”

With the power of a Void Dominator, the divine state should have evolved to chaos colored, theoretically, once enough divine states are absorbed.

It seems…

The competition among Star Gods is tougher than he imagined?

“It’s nothing.”

The tall gray-haired woman ’Caslock’ indifferently said, “I just heard that a Star Creature-level Star God could also refine divine artifacts and came to have a look.”

“It’s quite rare, I’m surprised as well.” The black-clad girl smiled.

After all, to refine a single-colored divine artifact, one not only needs a single-colored divine state but must also comprehend a Void Essence, to leverage spatial powers through Space Mysteries.

Lin Qing could refine single-colored divine artifacts because the Blood Cauldron King Avatar had become a Void Creature.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, a Star God at the Star Creature level wouldn’t be able to refine divine artifacts.

For a Star God, becoming a Void Creature is practically inevitable, and it wouldn’t take too long either.

But mastering the skill of refining divine artifacts requires a lot of experience and experimentation, which is time-consuming as well.

So, a Star God who masters artifact refining before becoming a Void Creature is indeed quite rare.

“Really?”

The white-haired youth behind Caslock couldn’t help but size up Lin Qing, somewhat bluntly asking, “How long have you been in cultivation? You learned how to refine divine artifacts before you even evolved into the Void? Someone without talent shouldn’t have become a Star God, right?”

Lin Qing smiled, “That’s a bit harsh.”

The tall gray-haired woman, Caslock, then looked at Lin Qing and said indifferently, “Let’s begin then.”
