"Great then I should go ask guild for this tool so that I can increase my strength!" I said excitedly as I started to get up.
"Wait for me to finish my explanation. It's not that simple."
"What do you mean?" I asked while frowning.
"Right now, you do not have any experience to use for the level up"
"Level up? What do you mean?"
"Here is how it works. Because guild didn't know your energy level before, they have no way of counting your previous experience. So your energy that was earned accumulated before being registered is not counted at all,"
"What? What if I had been able to kill that wolf? That experience would be of no use at all?"
"This is not just about numbers. Like I said, it's not that simple. If you had been able to kill that wolf, you certainly would have gained experience and you energy would have increased. You would have gotten stronger as well. It's just that you wouldn't have much control over how your level increased. The strength increase would have also been much lower than what you can achieve in the guild"
I wanted to ask more but Janet stopped me by raising her hand.
"Let me finish the explanation first. There are a few reasons why normal people don't use the guild to increase their strength. First you have to be a guild member to use the tool. Not everyone has the money to spend for registering and leveling. Second, even if you are able to pay, the guild will not help you if are not an active guild member even if you had previously registered. The guild revokes the guild registration if you have not completed any quests in the last 6 months. Third, if you do not regularly work as an adventurer and level up, the guild will not be able to track your energy level. The Transference tool is not very accurate. If you do not use it for more than a year, the guild might lose track of your energy level completely and you would have to start again. The energy you gained cannot be used for your level up and you would need to start again."
I was dumbfounded. This energy, experience level up system was much more complicated than I thought. It seemed that the explanation was still not finished since Janet continued after taking a deep breath.
"Now that I have explained why normal people don't use this system, I will tell you why even adventurers avoid using the Transference tool as much as possible"
