Chapter 43: Official Party
They never thought that one day they would get this much money.
Olivia was feeling a little better after seeing the notification. \'Maybe I can clear my debt if I earn money like this,\' she thought, with a hope to clear the debt forming in her heart.
"Elva, I am dreaming right?" Alice asked with a doubtful expression while pinching the hands of Elva.
"Why don\'t you bite your tail and see if you are dreaming or not," Elva replied with a glare.
Seeing their interactions, Li Wei smiled and took out few items.
"Here, take these intrusion guards; they will be able to block the Level 35 Analyze Eye skill," he said, giving the Intrusionguard Amulet to the everyone.
Intrusionguard Amulet: Level 35, ×4
After that, he took out the two skill books.
"XinXin, Olivia, here, take these skill books and master some hidden weapons for protection," he suggested, handing them the skill books and looked at everyone.
"You all should upgrade your skills; then, after a meal, we will go to level up once more," he declared, looking at them and started to think of a way to tell Li Xin about his experience-sharing skill.
"Elva, shouldn\'t we tell him?" Alice whispered.
Elva nodded. "I\'ll handle it," she replied.
"Li Wei," Elva called his name with a serious expression.
Li Wei, Li Xin, and even Olivia was surprised by her sudden seriousness.
"Yes," nevertheless, Li Wei answered, waiting for her to explain.
Elva fixed her gaze at him. "I and Alice want to join your party officially," she declared with Alice, who is also looking at him seriously.
Li Wei was stunned at her sudden declaration. "Are you sure you want to join our party officially? We will have to form a party contract, and didn\'t you also need your family\'s approval?" he replied, knowing how the rules of this world worked.
To form a party officially, one needed to form a contract; it was a rule to prevent any accidents and a safety option.
An official party has many benefits, such as being given priority to choose special quests with high rewards before they are shown on the quest board.
But if one joined the party officially, they would not be able to join other parties unless they create a party leaving contract with some restrictions.
Sometimes they even have to pay for the amount the party leader spent on them, but it was a very rare occurrence, as no leaders wanted their party members to suffer, and if they really did this, they would leave a bad impression on others.
Most of the time, people choose to retire rather than leaving the party because of their age and getting married.
Elva nodded. "We are both sure, and as for our families, it isn\'t an issue. They will not stop us as long as we are above level 30," she replied with assurance.
She and Alice have already talked about this. Their reason to level up was to join a party, but after being with Li Wei, they discovered he wasn\'t a bad person.
He cared about others and was always overprotective. More so, he was trying his best to be a good leader even though he didn\'t know much about this world.
Hearing her, Li Wei turned towards Li Xin. "XinXin, what do you think about this?" he asked for her consent.
He can have someone join as a temporary member of the party without her permission, but for an official member, he can\'t just ignore her.
Li Xin shrugged. "You can decide it, brother. I will always support you," she replied with a smile.
Hearing her reply, Li Wei thought with relief, \'It\'s good she didn\'t have any problems.\'
He was already thinking about inviting them to become official members because of the special quests one can take and rewards they will receive.
But before him, they asked to join his party, making things easier.
"Okay, I don\'t have any problems with you becoming our official members. I will make a contract. Please wait a little," Li Wei said, buying a few contracts from the system shop for 1000 coins and a pen to write it for 10 coins.
He didn\'t hesitate and wrote the contract with conditions like no information disclosure, equal rewards sharing, and such.
"Here, take it." Li Wei gave them the contract paper to sign.
Elva and Alice carefully read the contract paper, confirming everything was okay. Without hesitation, they signed it by pressing their thumbs.
Elva gave the contract back to him. "Let me introduce myself again; I am Elva Vernier. Elva is my name, and Vernier is my surname. I hope you don\'t mind us keeping it a secret," she said with an apologetic look.
"I am Alice Niel. Alice is my name, and Niel is my surname. I hope you don\'t mind us keeping it from you," Alice too said with an apologetic expression.
Li Wei shook his head. "You don\'t have to worry; I know that with a name and surname, anyone can find out about your information," he replied, not caring about keeping it a secret from him.
In this world, a system was implemented to keep track of people who turn towards the evil path, and it was done by the same almighty person who created the good person test.
But this list is available to every city to see, and people were allowed to see it if they give a good enough reason.
Because of this, it became an unspoken rule to only display the name in their status panel and not to introduce their surname unless they are really close.
Li Wei too was able to hide his surname, but he didn\'t have any reasons and didn\'t choose to do it because it might make him suspicious.
Li Wei smiled and signed the contract. "I welcome you both for joining the Order of the Abyss party officially," he welcomed, giving them the copies of the contract papers.
"Then we will be in your care," Alice and Elva both said simultaneously with a smile.
They were both happy because it is very hard to find an official party, especially for the girls.
To join a strong party, sometimes they are forced to do things and later drop from adventuring; it was also the reason why their families kept them in check until they grew up.
"Order of the Abyss!" Olivia felt stunned because she didn\'t check the name of the party even after joining, and this was the first time she knew the name of the party.
Li Wei turned towards her. "Olivia, I would like to invite you to join our party officially," he invited her, ignoring her stunned look because it isn\'t easy to find a healer.
There might be many healers joining the party, but they only join temporarily and look for a stronger party that can give them money to become stronger.
So it was best to rope them in early and make them stronger than paying a lot of money later.
However, Olivia shook her head. "You should know my debt. It\'s an amount very hard to pay back even if we earn like this because we need money to upgrade our skills," she replied with a dejected expression.
"And I have a contract with you; because of it, you will not have any problems to register our party officially at the guild, and they will also allow you to choose the special quests," she continued before he could say anything.
Li Wei shook his head at her and directly opened his system panel without hiding the dark panel by goddess edition.
Elva and Alice were shocked to see the dark system panel because they had seen him use a blue one before.
"A dark system panel," they exclaimed, wanting to ask questions but didn\'t say anything and waited for him to explain.
Li Wei didn\'t care about their reactions and directly showed his coins to Olivia, who was also shocked.
"I have a ten times bonus because of that; I can earn money more quickly, and as you see, I got 100 million coins from the 10 million coin card. For me, it is easy to pay your debt; you don\'t have to worry about anything," he said reassuring her.
"99 million coins!" Olivia exclaimed with a shocked expression after seeing the numbers and fell silent.
Li Wei looked at her without hurry.
\'It will be best if she became an official member of the party, if not it is very hard to find a good healer,\' he thought to himself.
"99 million!" Elva and Alice were also shocked upon learning about the money he has and the ten times bonus.
Li Xin just looked at Li Wei silently not interfering with whatever he was doing.
She also felt happy that Alice and Elva joined their party officially and hoped Olivia will do the same.
Olivia looked at him, her eyes filled with emotions. "Okay, I will join your party officially," she agreed with a nod, keeping her emotions in check.
Li Wei felt relieved that she agreed. "Here is the contract; sign it and welcome to the Order of the Abyss," he said, giving her the contract paper.
Olivia nodded. "I am Olivia Carrel. Olivia is my name, and Carrel is my surname," she too introduced herself after signing the contract.
Seeing his party members becoming official, Li Wei smiled. "I know you must have a lot of questions about my ten times bonus, right?" he asked, looking at them.
