'Special tasks?' He was surprised to see another section.
For alchemist, blacksmith, evolution planner and special martial artists.
Hunting traitors of humanity, reward for iron rank is 1 FP, bronze rank is 10 FP and silver rank is 1,000 FP.
Reading these parts, Sean realized that the federation are now tightening their grip towards the remaining martial artists and increasing their effort to eradicate terrorist group.
There are some groups that can be considered as evil, they, like the Gene Upgrade also experiments on human beings but they don't actively undermine humanity's progress.
'The situation is actually growing dire for the human race?' Everyone has now realized this and was feeling apprehensive inside.
Sean clenches his fist, it seems that he needs to hurry up and grow stronger and the fastest way for that is to earn resources through trading and signing contracts with more mystique creatures.
Each contract not that helps him refine his vitality more but it also helps him create more skills and obtain mystique abilities.
Beast World seems to absorbs elemental energy through Wuk and Jasmine, this meant that the elemental types would direct it's progress.
His target right now is water, the source of life in his former world and also the most abundant element of this world containing the most number of races.
Second is earth element, he wanted to know if he can develop land in this small world of his.
Lastly is plant-type or fire-type mystique creatures, the former if land can truly be developed and latter if cannot, fire-type mystique creatures are known for their destructive capabilities.
For water, his first choices are Gluttonous Carp, followed by Blue Island Whale and lastly is Water Cannon Beast.
The Blue Island Whale is known for their size and long life, unfortunately, nurturing one such size is quite difficult, not to mention, it can't survive without plankton and spirit stones.
The Water Cannon Beast is a beast known for their abilities to fire a blast of water capable of boring through trees.
All three are difficult to obtain, he didn't expect that his standards has increased greatly.
Not to mention, he likes to sign a contract with mystique creatures that has strong personalities to make his journey much more lively.
'One step at a time.' If he really can't obtain any of the three before Jasmine reach bronze rank, he'll just choose other mystique creatures.
The feast was supposed to be a celebration but no one was happy when they return back to their home.
Sean was deep in thought, he doesn't want Hina and Yana to become slaves, the only way for that is they either marry and have children or become martial artists.
The federation is now forcing thr civilians to procreate, the dwindling population is scaring them.
"I'm home." Just as he returns back home, the mood of the entire house is gloomy.
He saw the three girls in the living room seemingly discussing about something.
"Sean, you're home." Tsu smiles but it contains a hint of sadness.
"What happened?" He asks with a worried expression.
"This." Hina shows him the news regarding the reforms the federation created.
"All of us received this message, everyone is now panicking and indignant." Yana sighs.
Her streams are bombarded with angry texts from her viewers.
Sean seeing their reaction can only share the information he received.
The three girls were shocked, they didn't know anything.
"Don't spread this until the federation gives further notice." He looks at Yana when he said this.
"Right now, everyone is actually focus in one thing and that is."
Special mission: Build a territory outside the city, defend it for five years and the territory will be given to you, the federation shall build a branch in that city but the taxes obtained from the city will be shared with the owner and the federation.
Not only that, from the information he reads, the federation will also see through the ownership of the territory.
So even if the owner died in an accident, it would be inherit by either the chosen successor or closest of kin.
This made all the powerhouses starts thinking of creating a theory for their descendants.
Ambitious people sees this as the fastest way to become an absolute ruler.
Sean sneers, this would be easy if it weren't for the fact that the number of humans in this world is slowly dwindling.
But a base can serve as a great way to earn money, especially if the base can manage it's surrounding territories.
What's the most important thing in this world?
Strength!
What's the easiest way to gain it?
Signing a contract with high grade mystique creatures.
What's the fastest way to grow?
Resources that is compatible with your mystique creature.
If the Gold Family can create a territory near a mineral vein, forest or lake, they can grow as an absolute powerhouses within just a century.
Mineral vein for their family's mystique creature, the Gold Eating Beast, born as a rare grade, it's potential is quite large but it can only eat metal that aren't refined.
Forest, many different mystique creatures can be nurtured in the forest but if the Gold Family and Black Ape Dojo becomes one, they can nurture many ape-type mystique creatures in a forest.
For the lake, the Gold Family can have another path to strength by raising either amphibic mystique creatures that can survive both land and water or aquatic mystique creatures that they can raise for future plans of expanding through waterways.
Sean can also see himself creating a territory, a territory built upon the existence of his Beast World.
If he can raise mystique creatures in his world and mask it with his territory, he can help his family grow stronger.
"Big brother, what should we do?" Yana's voice snaps him out of his daze.
Yes! What's he thinking of creating a territory when there's a much more important task at the moment.
"For now, I think that the two of you can say that you're married to me in name, the deadline is still set at 40 years old, we still have enough time to research a path for all of you."
Everyone was stunned but Hina thought about something and shakes her head. "We can't do that, after all, one can only marry one person."
"That's already past news, if you're a martial artist, you can have three spouses, each subsequent rank will increase the limit with two." He sighs.
"That's basically treating us women as common commodity!" Hina was enraged.
"Not just women, men are also in it too, a woman martial artist can have her harem and just like some martial artists, she can use slave too." This rule had pissed off a lot of people.
"So those that aren't martial arts aren't even given basic rights as a human being?" Yana was in a daze.
"Yes and no, they are given time to grow, the entire federation is now focused nurturing the future generation and they're pulling no stops to their plans."
Martial artists have to hunt, all of them do, their hunts are going to turn into blood crystals and resources.
Other support type professions such as alchemist, blacksmith and evolution planner is definitely going to be funded intensively.
A golden era that only push humanity to the limit in order to grow rapidly.
The peace that their predecessor used their lives to obtain is now crumbling not because of them but because of the changes happening in this world.
Mystique creatures are definitely growing stronger as time goes by, monsters more so, they grow by devouring and plundering everything they set their sights on.
They should be the enemy of both entities but mystique creatures also considers human as preys.
Mystique creatures grows by signing a contract with a human being but not very quickly, they had to accumulate training and had to be supported by resource for their growth.
Meanwhile, devouring humans would help mystique creatures grows in a instant, they are a tonic to them.
It's probably because of their unique abilities to bind souls with one another.
Something about this world's humans made them a potent tonic for all creatures.
Wuk is intelligent, so was Jasmine, didn't this mean that there are creatures as intelligent as humans that exists in this world.
Looking at the worried expressions of the girls, he raises his chest and says. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to let all of you step in the foot of martial arts or spirituality."
"For now, we should go to the new federation hall for civilians and have Hina sign a marriage contract with me, she's already nearing the age limit." Hina can only accept her fate.
None managed to sleep peacefully that night, all of them are worrying about their future.
The next day, Sean brought his family to the federation hall.
There are now two federation buildings but they're just side by side with each other.
"Reina? What are you doing here?" Sean was surprised to see a familiar face.
Reina looks at him and then turns to Hina, she immediately knows what they are doing here.
"Some of the disciples are past the age limit and are now desperate to get married, the federation only gave them one year to prepare." She spoke softly.
She looks after many disciples of their dojo, she doesn't want to see them become slaves.
"Yes, this was too sudden, I know that humanity is facing the threat of extinction but still." He can only sigh.
Taking the girls inside, they registers once more, Tsu received a lot of money for compensation for their home, her two daughters and Sean's successful ascension to the vital realm.
"I guess this makes us husband and wife, huh?" He teases, trying to disperse the gloomy mood pervading everywhere.
"I don't mind marrying big brother." Yana suddenly said, shocking everyone.
"What? We know each other for such a long time and when big brother starts maturing, he had been taking care of us."
Tsu looks at her strangely as Yana continues to lists what Sean did fot them.
"You're describing a father than a big brother and considering that you still call him that, he's definitely going to be weirded out."
Sean also looks at her strangely, he then rubs her head. "You don't need to justify being forced to do something you don't want to do."
Hina nods her head. "Unlike me, you still have some time to reach the vital realm."
"Yes! With Sean becoming a martial artist and joining the Gold Family, we'll definitely find a way to become martial artists." Tsu encourages her.
Yana was speechless, she meant was she said and not a pitiful acceptance of the weak and helpless.
Unfortunately, she can't change the minds of the people in front of him.
She can only look at her big brother and swears that she'll repay him in the future.
Back to the estate, Sean directly went to Harold and asks him to give him a mission, he doesn't care which group he will thrown to.
As long as it's a mission that isn't related to gold rank, he'll accept every mission.
Harold was shocked but still agreed and gave him a mission that is available for both group and solo.
Search for a mineral a hundred kilometers away from the city.
Sean's eyes sharpens, it seems that his earlier conjecture is correct, the Gold Family are trying to expand.
"I will accept this mission but I am going to do it solo."
Harold's expression changes. "No! Have Steel Plate's group come with you, you are absolutely forbidden to take such missions solo!"
He can't lose Sean, the person that has the highest chance to see through his regret.
Sean sees the desperation in his eyes and can only sigh, he can't push this man too much.
"Sure but with our numbers, it will definitely take a long time, so I request that my family will be taken care of during my time of absence."
Harold immediately agrees, besides, his daughter will never forgive him if he neglected her bestfriend.
