SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The First Guild Member.

"I plan on building a research facility."

Dun blinked.

"A... research facility?"

Kael gave a small nod.

"It’ll operate under the guild I’m planning to establish."

"The Mothlight Guild."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"I don’t want to build just another guild."

"I want to build something that actually leaves a mark on this world."

His voice remained steady.

"Medicine."

"Alchemy."

"Technology."

"Magic."

"I want to invest in every field capable of pushing humanity forward."

He looked out the office window for a moment before speaking again.

"Every time civilization has taken a major step forward, it wasn’t because someone got stronger."

"It was because someone discovered something new."

"A better medicine."

"A new technology."

"A more efficient way to use what already existed."

"Those are the things that change the course of history."

His gaze returned to Dun.

"If I want the Mothlight Guild to stand at the center of this world’s future, then I can’t just continue to raise my strength."

"I have to help create the things everyone will need tomorrow."

Silence settled inside the office.

Dun stared at him without saying a word.

The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.

He knew Kael was young.

Far too young to be talking about changing the future of humanity.

Yet for some reason...

He couldn’t find it in himself to doubt him.

Maybe it was simply because the young man before him spoke with the confidence of someone who already had everything within the palm of his hand, as though the future he described was merely waiting for him to reach out and claim it.

"Medicine will be the first focus," Kael continued.

"But eventually, the facility will expand into every field worth researching."

"Of course..."

"A research facility means nothing without researchers."

"My biggest problem right now is talent."

"You are the only researcher I know who possesses both the ability and the passion."

Kael looked directly at him.

"So..."

"I’m inviting you to become the head researcher."

Silence filled the office.

Then...

Dun suddenly laughed.

Not because the proposal sounded ridiculous.

Quite the opposite.

It sounded too good to be true.

"Do you know how many years I’ve dreamed about this?" he asked.

"Do you know how many research projects I’ve had to abandon because of funding?"

He shook his head.

"Every breakthrough requires resources."

"Rare herbs."

"Monster materials."

"Laboratories."

"Equipment."

"And all of them cost money."

His smile widened.

"If funding is no longer a concern..."

"Then I’d be able to devote myself entirely to research."

"There isn’t a better offer you could’ve given me."

"I accept."

Kael smiled faintly.

"I figured you would."

The two spent the next hour discussing the framework of the future research division.

Laboratory construction.

Recruitment.

Research priorities.

Security.

Funding.

Patent ownership.

The future distribution of medical products.

One topic naturally led to another until an entire blueprint slowly took shape.

Only after everything that needed discussing had been settled did Kael finally stand up.

"I’ll contact you again once everything is ready."

"I’ll be waiting."
