#42Chapter 20 SharesAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Although he could charge in and out seven times in a derived world, that was because the matched world level wasn't high, so the strength of the plot characters was generally equal to or weaker than his.
But now, his opponents might be Contractors of a higher level, which made Mu Yang feel unsure.
"May I ask what your highest attribute is currently?"
"20 points."
Mu Yang replied. This wasn't private information, as it could be found out with a detection tool.
"What about the lowest?"
Both questions were about affinity attributes; non-affinity attributes had little reference value.
"12 points."
"That's enough."
Ruo Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Yang's current strength might be slightly inferior, but for now, it was definitely enough.
Although the situation was bad, it hadn't reached the point of crumbling at a touch. They could easily endure a few more world progressions, not to mention the pressure the mercenary group's lunatic was exerting on the black merchant.
Skywing Merchant Guild only needed to provide resources to help Mu Yang accelerate his growth. Even if the conflict between the mercenary group and the black merchant was resolved in the future, they would definitely no longer fear them.
"I've drafted a contract here. Please take a look."
Mu Yang took the contract Ruo Yi handed him and read it carefully.
["Mu Yang" joins "Skywing Merchant Guild." The four shareholders (Ruo Yi, Lin Su, Prue, Xiao Xian) will each allocate a portion of their shares to him, totaling 10%.
In addition, "Skywing Merchant Guild" will provide a series of financial aids to "Mu Yang" after he joins, with a total value not less than 500,000 paradise coins.
In exchange, Mu Yang must help "Skywing Merchant Guild" overcome the "Black Sail Merchant Guild" obstacle after he grows stronger. This contract has no other restrictions besides this.]
After reading the contract, Mu Yang was stunned.
It wasn't that the price offered was too low; it was a bit too much, so much that he suspected it might be a double or even multi-layered contract. Otherwise, how could he gain so much while having so few restrictions?
He tried the method he had learned and also inquired with the Paradise, finding that the contract was actually fine.
But after careful consideration, Mu Yang felt it was still reasonable.
Although 10% of the shares were good, their value depended on the Skywing Merchant Guild still existing. If the Skywing Merchant Guild collapsed, those shares would be worthless.
The second investment was expected. After all, Ruo Yi and the others sought Mu Yang precisely to invest in his potential, allowing him to grow quickly so he could resolve the crisis brought by the black merchant in the future.
After resolving the crisis, Mu Yang would be free from any constraints and could even choose not to bother with the specific affairs of the Skywing Merchant Guild.
However, as long as the Skywing Merchant Guild's business remained prosperous and brought Mu Yang enough benefits, he would spontaneously protect the guild's interests and help them resolve enemies and crises.
This was an open scheme, but Mu Yang was susceptible to it.
"This is a very good contract. I accept."
With that, Mu Yang signed the contract.
"Welcome to the team."
The five people present applauded in unison, and Ruo Yi and the others showed expressions of relief.

After the main business was settled, Mu Yang didn't rush to leave. Instead, he took out the Sun God Tattoo.
He suddenly decided that this thing didn't necessarily have to be used to create a religious order; giving it to merchants seemed viable too?
"I have a special ability here. Take a look and see if it's useful."
Hearing Mu Yang's words, the five people all looked over. Even Ruo Li, who had originally been uninterested in business discussions, suddenly became energetic, her gaze fixed on him.
[Sun God Tattoo]
Quality: Green
Effect 1: Sun (Passive): Damage caused by fire and light elements increases by 9%, flame temperature slightly increases, and light purity slightly increases.
Effect 2: Believer (Passive): The owner of the Sun God Tattoo can draw the Sun God Tattoo, and can also teach the method to other tattoo artists. Therefore, the Sun God Tattoo is divided into a main body and a Subordinate.
The main body is the "God"; the Subordinate is the "Believer." The Subordinate's bonus is affected by factors such as quality and the main body's strength, and the Subordinate's quality cannot exceed the main body's.
Effect 3: Eyes and Ears (Active · Unlocked): The "God" consumes his own energy (e.g., mana, Solar Power) to cross thousands of miles or even worlds, observing surroundings or launching attacks through the believer's Sun God Tattoo.
Rating: 28 (Absorbing Yang Crystal, continuously increasing)
...
Mu Yang had directly bound the Sun God Tattoo after obtaining it. The tattoo didn't need to be carried like ordinary equipment; it directly integrated into his soul and was bound to it.
During this derived world, the Sun God Tattoo had been continuously absorbing the Yang Crystal. Its quality had now increased to Green, which also unlocked the second effect, allowing him to draw the Sun God Tattoo - Subordinate.
Mu Yang explained the Sun God Tattoo as his professional ability. He trusted Ruo Li, but he wasn't familiar with the others, so it was better to be cautious to avoid complications.
Sometimes, even if you say that the equipment is bound, cannot be dropped, and cannot be sold, some people will still believe it's just an excuse and take risks.
"This thing is good, it's very useful!"
After reading the effects of the Sun God Tattoo, Ruo Yi immediately declared it a "God-tier" skill.
And after listening to her explanation, Mu Yang realized his perspective had been too narrow.
He had only considered those powerful Contractors before, unaware that ordinary Contractors and Employees wouldn't care so much, because simply living was difficult for them.
If there was something that could directly enhance their survival rate, or even have a powerful individual cross realms to intervene when their lives were in danger, they would be willing to pay a high price for it.
"Can you demonstrate it directly?"
"Okay, get some sunstones, firebird blood, phoenix feather..."
Mu Yang didn't refuse. He was also curious about the abilities of the Sun God Tattoo - Subordinate. As for whether the technique for drawing the tattoo would be secretly learned...
He didn't care, because he would definitely teach the method of drawing the tattoo in the future. After all, it was impossible for him to personally draw it every time someone needed it.
Moreover, the Subordinate was entirely under the control of the main body; he could do whatever he wanted.
And if someone wanted to imitate the Sun God Tattoo - Subordinate and create something like a Moon God Tattoo - Subordinate...
Regardless of whether such an act was realistic at this stage, even if a true genius could achieve it, without the main body, many abilities could not be used with only the Subordinate. In that case, what would be the point?
Because the materials Mu Yang requested were not scarce and could be directly exchanged from the Paradise, they were delivered quickly.
A scorching flame ignited from his palm. This time, the flame was pure Solar Power, without any admixture of the power of the Blazing Sun or Blood Sun.
Under the high-temperature scorching, the materials miraculously merged, then melted, and finally transformed into a small point of golden-yellow liquid.
"Who's next?"
"I'll try."
As expected, Ruo Li was the first to step forward. At Mu Yang's signal, she sat down in front of him with her back to him.
