After settling the matter regarding the supply of potions, Sam returned to Philip.
"Post a hiring order. We recruit people at all levels of cultivation, but people at the Nascent stage are preferred. We have new employees. Mention in the post that any form of expertise and skill is valued. It might be as simple as cooking skills, carpentry to murder and arson.
In addition, call the Architectural Craftsman in charge of the construction of the city, do not let the former head of the tower know about this. Ask him to come alone and without telling anyone. If he does play any tricks, just face him.
Ask Watt to see me."
With that Sam returned to his room.
After a few minutes Watt appeared and Sam started talking.
"Recruit every orphan in the empire. I want them all in the City in a few days, arrange a temporary residence inside the inn, they can adjust a little and put a lot of people in one room. If they are too many, arrange a residence in some of our arenas.
The maximum recruitment limit is that they are fifteen years of age or less and their cultivation limit should be the Initiation stage. As for the minimum limit, even if they are still babies, you can recruit them.
In addition it ordered some users of the earth and wood elements below us to create a flat spot in the nearby forest.
Within a week, it should be good enough for construction to happen."
Watt nodded and went to carry out the task. He didn't even need to move on his own, with this network that had many branches, all he had to do was call and that was it, but he decided to complete this task himself.
He somewhat understood why Sam wanted these Orphans to come to town and he felt that it was a great opportunity for the orphans suffering in the slums.
He did not want any of them to miss this opportunity. Although, she received cynicism from Sam, she still felt she had to handle this properly.
He simply went for the user of the earth element and the wood element and made sure to clean up enough places in the forest according to Sam's needs.
After which, he stood on top of Silver Wind as he flew away from the city to finish the other work. But before that, he contacts Jack who is the only one of three people who has no extra job to receive orphans via train.
With that a new mission begins.
After about an hour, Sam was in the meeting room with the Architectural craftsman in charge of the construction of the city.
It had been quite a while since they met, but Sam did not speak anything, he just stared at the craftsman as if he was looking for the latter's soul. The latter was clearly uncomfortable.
After a long time, he gathered the courage to speak.
"Sir Sam's. May I know why you called me here?"
He asked nervously. He was a Pre-transcendent cultivator, with a variant of the earth element, he himself was quite strong and his architectural skills spoke for himself, he was able to complete the task of building this great city.
"You are a Rank-6 Artisan. What does that title mean to you?"
Sam asked after a long silence.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean exactly as I asked. What does that title mean to you?"
He thought for a moment and said.
"This is an evaluation of my skills. Without it no one would acknowledge my skills no matter how good I am."
"I've got an offer for you and I'm offering this opportunity to you just because I'm acknowledging your expertise and skills not because of your rank. Would you accept it?"
"Please tell me."
"Return from the Artisan association."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Returning from the Artisan tower and joining the network in earnest, I will give you the opportunity to explore a new world of architecture. Something that is beyond the information and skills that you can take from the association of craftsmen even with thousands of people.
I'll open the door to that new world."
"You're also an Artisan, why are you asking me to give up my title?"
Sam pulled out his badge and said. "As you said, these things are the evaluations that the community follows. I was only a weak cultivator when I explored Orion and raised my rank. This badge is a necessary barrier for my enemies as well as a wits lock for me to open some new doors.
But in my current position, they mean nothing to me. They are nothing but pieces of metal."
"Why are you asking me to do this?"
Artisan gulped when he heard this.
He does know how barbaric Sam is, in his view Sam is a lunatic. Who would build such a city and even name it after themselves? but Sam did just that.
Even so, he felt that way, though, he was delighted to have the opportunity to build a city like this and the most amazing things in the process were the things he learned through his blueprints and designs.
He's improved a lot.
He is happy that Sam chose to do business with the Artisan association, but now he is about to break off the relationship.
No, that's not true, it would be more appropriate to say, former leaders want to break ties.
He somewhat understood their actions. They may think that with the support of the association they can take over the entire network, but he has other thoughts.
He felt that the head of the tower was stupid. If the association could really take down Sam easily, why would they even have to contact the tower chief to get the design, they would go to Sam directly and take the design by force.
From the Old Man incident, he had an understanding of Sam's power. He doesn't have the strongest card in the world, but he's sure of one thing, Sam will bring some of the people who are on top of the world with him, if he dies.
It would be foolish to make Sam an enemy.
Looking at her with deep thoughts, Sam did not want to force her and said.
"I won't force you, but I appreciate the talented and skilled people, I will give the opportunity to all of them, but there will be a clean-up within the city.
So, you better choose your choice. Even if you don't want to resign, you have to know who should keep your distance and you may have to leave the city. You have a week to decide.
By the way, you should know to keep quiet, right?"
During the rest of the day, Sam had many meetings with many people.
He noticed many people, and the rest would be dismissed along with partnerships with associations.
Since, he would be able to recruit these people for himself, he did not need the help of the association.
After all, at the moment all the factory workers and other staff were under the network, they had nothing to do with the four towers.
He can easily maintain his own tissues without sweating. The four towers had outlived their use long ago, but he had not kicked them to the curb, as he agreed to partner because he wanted to honor his words.
Now that they were making the first move to burn the bridge, they were burning the bridge, he was just going to add fuel to that fire.
He will show them what it means to betray him.
Meanwhile, Sam must convince others to join him.
He went to the room where Sirona was.
He didn't come out of this room, ever since they discussed, he locked himself in that room.
He didn't bother her and there was no one in the building either.
After a long time, Sam knocked on the door.
"Who is this?" He asked in a cold tone.
"Sam."
There was a short silence and the answer came.
"Lake in."
Sam entered the room only to see him sitting on a chair by the window while looking outside. A formation simulator was placed in front of him on a small table.
He just stood there and spoke.
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Nothing." The answer is almost instantaneous.
Sam could understand the sadness behind that one word.
