A Long-Term Contract.

001 is in the clan head's office, as for his Gu all of them along with the book from the demonic cultivator had been confiscated.

"Mr. 001 is it?" ~ The Xiong clan head had only ever heard of numbers being used on cattle, not even he calls his servants by numbers. ~ "If you sign this rank-4 blood oath Gu, you will see that 80,000 primeval stones now with another 40,000 primeval stones after 2 years, and full access to the school library along with direct access to our school headteacher's office, will all be yours and all you have to do is follow our current village laws that are recorded on this Gu, protect this village from wolf tides, and earn 100 primeval stones a month from Xiong clan missions. If you don't earn primeval stones then you will have to give that many primeval stones to the clan treasury. Become a rank-2 Gu master within one year, a rank-3 within 3 years, and a rank-4 within 10 years. Failure to reach these rank-ups due to a clear lack of effort will result in enslavement."

The first part was originally to follow the village laws, but the problem is that laws can change. 001 immediately pointed it out while asking for it to be changed from laws to current laws.

As for the wolf tides, that was only every 3 years, in other words, he could do whatever he wanted within that time. It also so happens that a wolf tide has happened very recently, so he has plenty of time, to prepare.

001 stands up, "Being 24, am I allowed to attend academy lectures?"

"Of course, if anything I encourage it!" ~ As a matter of fact this was part of the plan. ~ [This way he'll get closer to the younger generation and slowly build a connection with them]

001 bows before leaving, he has an itch on his back to drink more blood, but now is not the time. He has to hold it in, he also makes the excuse that he is a hunter and as such likes the forest, that way he can ensure no problems with getting blood, even if it isn't human.

As for sunlight, he quickly finds out that he is not actually a vampire, just someone lucky enough to get a free Gu. Ever since he was sent to 'Awakening Center' six years ago, he hasn't felt the touch of sunlight caressing his skin. So when he walks out of the building, he basks in the sunlight for half an hour.

Some people walked by and stared at him for a moment, but figured he must have had a tough life and is finally letting relief set in.

001 opens his eyes, to quickly notice a kid watching him.

"What are you doing Mister?"

In the distance, an old man quickly notices that his grandchild is talking to a Gu master, his eyes widening as he runs as quickly as he can to get his grandkid.

"I'm imagining my dream come to fruition!"

"Is it a fun dream?"

001 smiles ~ "The most fun dream in the whole world!"

"Wow, I want a dream like that!"

001 pats him on the head while passing him a knife ~ "Take this as a sponsorship. To a bright future!"

The kid doesn't understand what that meant, but he is happy because 001 is happy.

The grandpa notices that the blade is one that only a poor farmer would use, showing that this cultivator must be of normal lineage and not Xiong clan. He has a sigh of relief.
