Chapter 629 - 630 There are others! (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch ’Zhao Lin’! 2/10)
The offer of 8 million Gold Coins really tempted Chu You as it was close to the top disciple recruitment price in his past life!
Having taken Dantai Jingning as his disciple, Chu You’s disciple slots decreased from 14 to 13. He could still accept 13 more disciples. It wasn’t bad having one disciple bring in 8 million Gold Coins, given that the number of disciple slots would likely continue to increase as the guild upgraded later on.
He initially had declined War Soul Ruthless and clearly expressed his real attitude about accepting disciples—because leveling up was quite challenging at this time, everyone was just starting out, and those who could understand this were aware of what a player’s high level meant at this stage.
So, rather than presenting an astronomical recruitment price, it was better to directly respond to their stance on accepting disciples—he would be the one choosing disciples, not players picking him as a mentor!
Because the disciple recruitment price he quoted was something they couldn’t afford!
If that was the case, then there was no point in wasting each other’s time.
Now, a rich player from the Chu Kingdom had offered a price very close to what he had in mind, suggesting that the player understood its significance.
Using the number of Gold Coins to describe the depth of the guru-disciple relationship was indeed vulgar, but it was a fact.
There was no such phenomenon as accepting someone as a disciple because they had exceptional roots, or possessed extraordinary future potential. This was a bit too idealistic, and such a phenomenon didn’t exist amongst eminent mentors!
Those who wanted to become mentors and randomly recruited disciples while still in their 30s, did they deserve to be considered as eminent mentors? They were merely treating the Mentor System as entertainment—they were not worthy at all.
What defines an eminent mentor? Someone whose identity, status, and abilities have been widely recognized. And that is an eminent mentor!
