"Red Tide, recruiting brothers who are willing to share weal and woe with us!"
"Spinach Alliance, recruiting experts!
We already have twenty-two members. All of them are first-rate experts in Awareness and Mechanics. Experts who are willing to develop with us can come for an interview! "
"FFF Group, recruiting members. Get lost if you have a girlfriend!"
… …
Passing by a slightly decent building, Chen Mo saw a large group of players shouting loudly.
This was the Guild Hall of the City of Shadows. Establishing and joining a guild, as well as accepting guild quests, were all done here.
"Brother, do you want to join our Soaring Feather Guild?
Our Soaring Feather Guild is different from those trash guilds. We are very strict in our recruitment. We only accept experts, and our benefits are excellent! "A youth's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Mo walking over. He hurriedly walked up to him.
Although Chen Mo's equipment was concealed, this youth's sharp eyes could still tell that it was relatively rare.
"Sorry, but I've already agreed to join a friend's guild," Chen Mo casually rejected.
Hearing Chen Mo's words, this youth could only give up in disappointment. He knew that it was not easy to recruit experts. He wanted to spend some effort to persuade Chen Mo, but since Chen Mo had already agreed to join a friend's guild, there was no way he could persuade him otherwise.
Chen Mo did not stay for long. However, he discovered that all the guilds that were recruiting were very strict. They either had to have good equipment or strong Mechanics. They simply did not want ordinary players.
However, this was understandable.
The guild setting in Genesis was very different from other games.
A newly established Level 1 guild could only accommodate thirty members. If the guild wanted to level up, they could only obtain guild points by exploring the wilderness.
Upgrading a Level 1 guild to a Level 2 guild only required ten guild points. However, there were less than ten Level 2 guilds in the entire game.
The monsters in the wilderness were too strong, and exploring the wilderness was extremely difficult.
The wilderness of the city was divided into unexplored regions by the system. These unexplored regions were shrouded in a white fog of war. Even during the day, one's vision was very limited, not to mention at night.
In every unexplored region, there was a small magic circle. Once one found this magic circle, one would be able to release the Region Elite monsters in that region.
Region Elite monsters were very powerful. However, their settings were different from normal monsters. Only the player who released the Region Elite and their party or guild could deal damage to the Region Elite. If other players attacked, not only would they not be able to damage the Region Elite, but they would also strengthen the Region Elite.
Moreover, Region Elites were not something that could be killed with just strength. If one wanted to kill a Region Elite, they had to obtain the Cursed Blood that dropped from the mobs in the same region.
Cursed Blood was a special item. Although the monsters in every unexplored area had a chance of dropping it, the Cursed Blood in different areas could not be used. Moreover, Cursed Blood could not be traded or stored. Every night at midnight, the Cursed Blood would be retrieved by the system.
Therefore, it was very difficult to explore an unexplored area. Not only did it require strength, but it also required luck.
However, if they could successfully open up an undeveloped area, the rewards would be considerable.
Aside from earning guild points, all guild members would also receive a large amount of EXP as a reward. Depending on the difficulty of the area, everyone would also receive a piece of Blue or Green grade equipment as a reward. Sometimes, they would even receive Reputation points.
Of course, aside from exploring the wilderness, they could also explore dungeons. However, there were very few dungeons in the game, so exploring them was not easy.
Since exploring a new area was difficult, it was naturally not easy for a guild to level up. Therefore, every established guild would not recruit players who were good for nothing but good for nothing. After all, establishing a guild required ten gold coins, which was not a small sum.
After familiarizing himself with the layout of the City of Shadows, Chen Mo conveniently learned some of the secondary professions and support skills that he needed to learn.
Scouting, Gathering, Skinning, Potion Refining, Fishing, Sewing, Smithing, Alchemy, Cooking, and so on.
The system did not limit the number of secondary professions that players could learn. It only required five silver coins for players to learn them.
There were many players like Chen Mo who had learned all of the secondary professions' skills. However, after learning them, everyone quickly realized that it was already very good to be able to master one of the secondary professions' skills. It was almost impossible to level up multiple secondary professions' skills at the same time.
All of the secondary professions' skills consumed stamina when used. Among them, support skills like Scouting and Gathering consumed less stamina. Potion Refining and Cooking, which could produce finished products, consumed more stamina. Every player's stamina was limited. Once it was depleted, they could only rest to recover.
Therefore, most people learned Scouting, Gathering, Skinning, and Cooking. These were skills that did not require much time and were convenient for them.
Chen Mo had no intention of leveling up his secondary professions' skills. He only learned them in case he needed them.
However, not all secondary professions' skills could be learned easily. A player revealed on the forums that if the owner of a jewelry shop in the three main cities bribed him with one gold coin, he would teach the player a special secondary professions' skill!
Chen Mo curiously came to the jewelry shop.
"Boss, why are these trashy jewelry so expensive?!"
"Yeah, it's ridiculously expensive!"
Before entering the shop, Chen Mo heard the angry voices of a few players.
Chen Mo walked in and was speechless.
There were many pieces of jewelry in the shop. However, the Level 13 White grade jewelry cost 108 silver coins. There were a dozen pieces of Blue grade jewelry that cost 588 silver coins each. There were five pieces of Green grade jewelry that cost 18 gold coins each. There was a piece of Purple grade jewelry that cost 188 gold coins.
How was this selling equipment? This was daylight robbery!
When players came out of the Beginner's Village, they usually only had a few silver coins. However, when players bought and sold equipment, the White grade was based on the attributes. It was from a few silver coins to a dozen silver coins. Blue grade was from a dozen silver coins to a few dozen silver coins. Green grade was around five gold coins.
"Get lost!
A bunch of poor bastards. Don't bother me. Buy if you want! "
The jewelry shop owner was a middle-aged bald fatty. Hearing the voices of the surrounding players, he glared at them fiercely.
"F * ck, if I have the chance, I'll kill this guy secretly!"
Being scolded by the NPC, the group of people was extremely unhappy. However, they did not dare to act recklessly and could only curse silently.
This was the main city. There were city guards patrolling outside from time to time. Attacking the NPC was courting death.
Chen Mo was secretly surprised. He always felt that compared to the NPCs in the Beginner's Village, the NPCs in the main city seemed to be more humane.
The group of players left. Chen Mo walked forward.
"Boss Bobo, I heard that you have a very special skill. I wonder if you can teach it to me?" Chen Mo whispered.
Bobo was just about to scold, but when he looked at Chen Mo, he seemed to be stunned and only scolded halfway. "Get lost … There's no such thing. Don't listen to others' nonsense!"
Chen Mo felt a little strange. This conversation was a little different from what he expected. However, after thinking about it, he felt that this should be related to the favorability he had.
He had 15 points of human favorability and 10 points of honor. Bobo's different attitude should be related to these two attributes.
"Boss Bobo, don't worry. I definitely won't tell others. This is just a small token of appreciation. It's not enough to express my respect!" Chen Mo secretly handed over a gold coin.
When Bobo saw the gold coin, his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly received it and said in a low voice, "Originally, this skill was forbidden to be taught. However, since you are so sincere, I'll teach you. However, you must remember that you learning this skill has nothing to do with me!"
System Notification: You have learned the skill "Decomposition" from Bobo!
Decomposition (Beginner): Decompose equipment and obtain one or more of the main materials used to refine equipment.
That's right. Bobo had learned the painful skill of decomposing equipment.
This was no longer a secret on the forums. However, not many people would be so painful as to spend 1 gold coin to learn it.
The raw materials obtained from decomposing were too cheap. It was not even one-tenth of the cost to refine the same equipment. Now that equipment was so expensive, every decomposing equipment meant a loss. There was no hope of earning money at all.
Chen Mo had no use for learning the skill. However, learning the skill was not his main purpose for coming here.

Looking for recommendations on Monday!
