Sam and his friends are on a return journey.

It has been almost three months since they started their journey and it will take around a week for them to return.

This time, he did gain something. Even though, his friends didn't have much to do in this journey. It would have been difficult without them.

They destroyed a decent amount of formations to the point that it would be almost impossible for him to take the whole island without them.

He also understood now, why it is so difficult, if it is just like what that guardian said, then hundreds of people will be sent to the island and the formations would be cleared faster than normal. That is why it was too much for just four of them.

As for what to do with the guardian and handing the pillar over to the people in higher realms he has his own plans for that.

After a week, Sam is back in the city.

As soon as he came back, there is a boatload of reports waiting for him. Most of them are from the Nascent stage teams he sent to the Adrian empire.

It has only been a little over three and a half months since they went to that empire. There should be at most three reports from each team, but it seems like they are working around the clock and the reports exceeded.

One of the teams already took control of the mercenary scene in the seashore city. This is something he didn't expect.

The Adrian is actually a lot smaller than even the former Orion and they wouldn't take too much time traveling the whole empire. With a beast of Level-6, they can travel the whole nation a little over a week.

The goods from that place are already sent back through the space gate and the people in charge already distributed them between various departments. The productivity of the organization increased and there are new types of armor, weapons, and so on.

There is a special department in the school. In fact, it is not fit to call it a department. It is more like a club. This is mostly comprised of people who are skilled and interested in more than one profession like Artisan and formations at the same time.

And their main aim is to study Sam's products.

When Sam reached his office within the school, the first thing that caught his eyes is the hunting trap. The good old hunting trap he released to the market when he is in the Southern star.

The one on his table is the new product created by two students in this special club.

Sam started examining the trap. The whole mechanism is actually quite simple and most of it is the same. Except for the metallic spike and other extra accessories that are added to it.

They used the same concealment formation and at the same time, the spikes are replaced by something new.

Those are the fangs of a snake-type beast. These fangs which the snake uses to inject the venom into the body of the prey.

They created a new mechanism combining six of these sets and created a sac that contains an anesthetic poison.

It all activates just like before. The poison enters the beast and they will be done.

Sam looked at it and felt like this thing is not bad at all. Even though the improvement is not extremely creative and there are not many elements that changed, the changes are substantial.

It is a straight forward approach without damaging the core mechanism. When he saw this, Sam felt like he should reward the students a bit and an idea popped up in his head.

He started making preparations. He called some of the artisans and ordered a special paper. By evening, the paper bundles appeared in his office and he is quite satisfied with this. They are actually not papers, rather metallic sheets that are as thin and flexible as paper.

He held an inscription pen in his hands and started using special ink to write.

After everything was done, he stamped it with his symbol at the edge after signed it. He repeated the same procedure on another blue paper.

After that, he made two copies of the blueprints of these new types of hunting traps and called for the various department heads. The departments in the school are different. The architecture itself is a separate department not a part of the artisan department. There is even a department of painting separately.

After everyone gathered, Sam said.

"There are some new things I am going to introduce to the school. The Patent system.

From now on, we are going to give some rights to the students or the teachers or anyone else from the school who invented a new thing, modified a previous invention and improvised it, discovered a new herb and its new applications, new medicine, new functions and properties of beast organs, the discovery of new materials, alloying, new forging method, a new method in skill and so on and so forth.

As long as they do it, they can submit it to the Patent department and get it registered. They will be awarded a certificate like this."

With that, he pointed towards the blue metallic paper in his hands.

"The colors, of the paper depend on the type of achievements they had. The blue-colored paper indicates the invention is a variation of an already existed one.

The same exact copy will be framed and hung on the wall of the room. The spiritual sense and the spiritual energy signature of the person who made the contribution will be sealed in both copies. Apart from that, every invention will be rewarded in exchange for a copy of the blueprint which will be placed in the library.

Every patent shall be marked with a serial number which will be noted down on the blueprint to find it.

If the creator agrees, they can give the blueprint to the organization, where the product is suitable for business will be produced and sold. Of course, there will be a contract made with the patent holder on how much they get from the share of profits with the organization individuals.

The blueprints from the library are only for reference and can only be studied within.

Any threats and plagiarism, theft of patents and inventions will not be tolerated, they will be stripped off of their cultivation and also used as slaves for the rest of their lives, apart from that if anyone wants to use the patented design of a product in their own invention, they must get the permission from the original inventor.

If any violation of these rules occurs, then they can file the complaint to the patent department. In this department, I and my friends and the strongest three of you will present. The situation will be investigated with absolute integrity and priority and the patent holder shall be given a satisfactory answer.

They can even sell their patent completely, but only to the organization."

Sam went on to explain other rules. Since his organization will become one of the most influential places in the world soon, he felt like he should employ a new system and standards.

He has to make sure that everyone is willing to work for him, they should see it as an honor and opportunity of their lifetime, for that, he is willing to do all that he can.

Later that day, the whole school is in an uproar, because a student who is at the peak of the Great realm was able to meet Sam.

Sam is an existence that is unfathomable to the students, so they are clearly surprised. But what surprised them, even more, is the details the student revealed after returning. He showed off his new patent document and explained everything to him.

He received a reward of a million spirit stones and a thousand credits for the invention. Not only that, he was able to sign a contract with the organization that they will pay him three percent of the total profit made on these special hunter traps and this contract is for a lifetime.

He was practically overjoyed. He is actually an artisan, but due to his age advantage, he was able to enter the school instead of duty.

He is extremely young. So, he was able to get more access to the documents. He also attended a course on venomous beasts which is a common course taught by a poison master of the Pharmacy department.

He not only taught about the venomous beasts and venoms, he also taught about how to escape them, how to deal with them, and which parts of them are valuable.

All students who are interested in becoming hunters took this course and he just took it as an extra one. Since knowledge wouldn't go to waste, so why not.

There he got this idea and met with a lecturer in the department who is enthusiastic about Sam's inventions. This invention came about that way.

Now, he is having tears of joy. At first, he was hesitant about leaving the artisan tower. After all, the school starting phase was of a rocky start, but later the knowledge and the teaching methods are different. Here he was almost forced to think out of the box and in unorthodox ways.

He was already happy with that, but now he is feeling like this is the best decision of his life.

He will never leave this place. That is the only thought in his mind as he looked at the patent document. Today not only did it bring him riches, but it also brought him honor.

His patent was the first to be hung in a newly built building. The patent building. He is so happy that he teared up.
