Ye Qing looked down at the map before him. It was a map of the City of Storms and nearby wildlands. The entire map was hollow and white, but one spot pulsed with a faint blue color; Ye Qing's residence on the floating island. The woman pointed at the floating island.
She said, "The blue locations indicate they're eligible as a base location for your guild residence. For now, as an elite student of the Floating Storm Academy, that plot of land is yours to manage as you desire. However, that plot of land is only available to you for three years until you graduate from the academy. If you haven't claimed that land for yourself by then, you must obtain ownership of another plot of land for relocation, otherwise, your guild activities would be suspended indefinitely."
Ye Qing looked up. "Isn't there a lowering ranking than an official guild? I mean, the mercenary group. If we didn't have a base of operations, can't we work as a mercenary group instead?"
