In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Kurapika and Kirshtalia were eleven years old, and they took time out during winter break to take the Hunter Exam.

They qualified, of course.

"Congratulations!"

The tall examiner smiled and handed the hunter licenses to the two blond boys in front of him.

"Here are your certificates. Next up is an orientation session and celebration party. Don't forget to attend."

Kurapika took his ID and handed another ID to Kirshtalia beside him: "Thank you, Mr. Matt, thank you for taking care of me along the way."

"Hahaha, you're too polite." One of the examiners, a big man named Matt, laughed, "I underestimated your level and didn't take enough care of you."

Kirshtalia put the document into his pocket without even looking at it, as he planned to sell it later.

"Really? The test questions you set up to fly over the Tekay Canyon eliminated more than 50% of the examinees. If you had been more careful, I'm afraid no one would have passed this time, right?"

"Didn't three of you pass? You two brothers are still stuck at the age of eleven, which is really impressive." Matt continued to brag about each other, "By the way, I see that both of you have Qi, so you don't have to take the hidden test about mindfulness, but remember not to tell Menqi."

Men Qi is another person who passed the exam this time.

"Will the association arrange for someone to teach Menqi to practice telekinesis?" Kurapika asked curiously.

Matt replied: "It depends on what the person assigned by the association thinks of Menqi. If the hunter thinks that Menqi's character is not suitable, he can refuse to teach. That's all we can say."

After a pause, Matt suddenly asked, "By the way, what kind of hunters do you plan to be?"

Kurapika was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Matt introduced: "Hunters are also divided into different categories. For example, I am a Ruin Hunter, and the examiner of the first exam is a Mystic Beast Hunter. There are also Bounty Hunters, Contract Hunters, Jewel Hunters, Gourmet Hunters... and so on."

Kurapika was a little confused, and he glanced at Kirshtalia subconsciously.

Kirshtalia smiled and said, "Maybe I will become a relic hunter. I am very interested in history. I heard that there are scholars in the association who study spells. Do you know anything about this?"

Matt was stunned. He was a little surprised: "Someone in the college might be studying this. Why are you interested in chanting talismans?"

Kirshtalia: "Everyone has vitality. In theory, everyone has energy and power. If we can develop runes that ordinary people can use, it may profoundly change our society."

Matt looked at the blond boy in front of him with strange eyes: "You want to change the world?"

Kirshtalia asked back, “Can’t I?”

Matt was silent for a while before saying, "That's a great idea."

At this moment, Kurapika looked at the wall clock and said, "The briefing is about to begin, Mr. Matt. See you at the celebration meeting later."

He and Kirshtalia headed towards the nearby instruction room.

Matt watched the blond brothers leave and pressed the microphone.

"He asked about the research on talismans. Will their clan's location be deeper?"

"Not sure." The voice of the person on the other end of the headset was very cold. "The Kuluta tribe also had hunters in the past. There is relevant information left in the association. Their ancestors did not have any research data on talismans."

"I personally tend to think that they don't know who their partners are, and they are simply helping each other distribute products in a normal business cooperation manner."

Matt clicked his tongue.

"This is really a tricky thing, Fantasy Fairy Company."

Two years ago, counterfeits of various hallucinogenic, psychotropic and special drugs began to appear on the black market. Someone used special powers to replicate these things, and unless they were actually used, no detection method could tell whether these things were real or fake.

For a time, the entire underground world was in turmoil, because the powder business was one of the sources of money for many forces roaming in the dark zone. As a result, large quantities of fakes are now flooding the market, so that the funds of various companies have been severely hit.

What’s even scarier is that fake products are also addictive. If you don’t use them after using them once, you will have impotence!!

Countless people in the dark want to kill the person who did this, but in the eyes of the Association, it doesn't matter.

Because the small powder has no effect on telekinetic hunters, and the fake stuff's Yang X effect is also very weak, if you accidentally ingest it, you'll just mistake it for real flour.

There is a vast dark continent outside this world, and it seems normal for some strange things to appear occasionally.

But soon after, liquid titanium ore began to circulate on the market.

As one of the seven most beautiful colors in the world, liquid titanium is famous all over the world because it is extremely difficult to preserve. The gem will show an uninterrupted color change from deep blue to light blue. It is as beautiful as the sea. It is a rare and precious gem.

Today, such precious gems have become sold in jewelry counters in major shopping malls, and the prices are directly inflated, with many zeros missing.

What’s even more troubling is that after careful inspection and detection, these minerals are all real!!

In an instant, the jewelry market and collection market around the world were severely impacted, and many jewelry hunters vowed to track down the counterfeiters behind the scenes.

Since the beginning of this year, Water Glaze and Crystal Feather Bone, two of the Seven Beauties, have appeared on the black market. Like Liquid Titanium, they have flooded into the market in large quantities, and Beast Hunters and Plant Hunters are going crazy.

Who on earth is disrupting the market and cultivating these rare animals and plants by any means necessary?

Especially the crystal feather bones, which are the skeletons of crystal birds. Could it be that the person hiding behind the scenes cultivated a large number of crystal birds and then killed the birds to get their bones?

But no matter what the truth is, in the entire underground world, whether it is hunters or undocumented people, whether it is politicians from various countries or hidden old monsters, everyone is looking for this king of counterfeit.

Because if this guy can make medicines, minerals, plants and animals that look almost identical, then what can't he make?

When all forces around the world were looking for this king of knockoffs, some traces were naturally discovered.

For example, the headquarters of the mastermind should be located in the eastern mainland, because every time the goods are first circulated to the world from there.

For example, the mastermind behind this incident hired many ordinary OEM companies to store, transport, package and distribute the goods.

The investigation into the Kuluta tribe came about because during a thorough investigation of distribution companies, someone discovered that an agricultural product company run by the Kuluta tribe was also on the list of distribution companies.

Of course, Kuluta is just one of the names on the list. There are many other large overseas OEMs or family businesses that are more or less connected to the mastermind behind the scenes.

Another example is that the mastermind behind the scenes has mastered a special mind ability, and this ability corresponds to the mind talisman. Many hunters and investigators who are secretly investigating have seen various complex patterns carved on the ground. Sometimes, as the patterns flash, the people who sneak in to investigate will instantly appear in the nearby sea!

…

All these things, whether it is the ability to copy or the special talismans that can transport people, have become coveted treasures, coveted by countless people in the darkness.

But so far, no one has been able to clear away the fog and find the ultimate mastermind behind the incident.

"…Research on the reproduction of crystal feather bones…"

Kurapika was sitting in the briefing room. After getting his hunter license, he immediately logged into the hunter internal network with his phone. As soon as he logged in, he saw a research paper published by a mythical beast hunter about the crystal feather bones that were widely circulated in the market.

"Kil, look."

Kirshtalia glanced at him and gave him a short laugh.

"Someone should have discovered it, right? Mineral drugs and the like are fine, but if it's plants and animals, testing will reveal that the genes of these animals and plants are the same. These are all copies."

Kurapika said with emotion: "But even if it is a replica, the replica has the same effect. This is the most terrible and terrifying thing."

Kirshtalia shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. We will have a replica of our Red-Eyes soon. I will ask you to make hundreds of millions of Red-Eyes replicas, so that everyone in the world can have one."

Kurapika opened his mouth, but no one knew what expression to make.

"What are you talking about?"

Men Qi, who passed the exam at the same time, turned around from the front row and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Kurapika said calmly, "Winter vacation is over, we have to go back to the first grade of junior high school."

Men Qi's expression fell: "You are really disappointing. I thought it was amazing to pass the exam at the age of 16. I didn't expect that someone passed the exam at the age of 11. And my two companions in this class are actually 11-year-olds. It's really..."

Kirshtalia recommended with a smile: "If you want to practice, I recommend going to the Sky Arena. Kula and I have been going there to compete since we were nine years old. Not only can we make money, but we can also improve our strength."

Men Qi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That sounds good. I'll go there later to see what the situation is."

Afterwards, a hunter came in to explain to the three newly qualified candidates the scope of application and purpose of the hunting license. After hearing that they could use more than 90% of public transportation for free, the three qualified candidates' eyes lit up.

"You can even get more money than you can spend in seven lifetimes by mortgaging it."

The teacher reminded implicitly, "So protecting your hunting license is the first thing every new hunter needs to learn."

Soon the briefing was over, and Kirshtalia immediately looked for Matt. He planned to mortgage his hunting license to the bank for a loan.

Matt: "...mortgage?"

"Yes, after we migrated from the forest, we have been working hard to run an agricultural product company. Now we can barely support the whole tribe, but if we want to develop further, we still need money."

Kirshtalia said: "I plan to take out a loan to start a new business and lead my family to a better life. What's wrong with that?"

Matt opened his mouth and asked tentatively, "Where are your tribe's previous partners? Weren't they cooperating well?"

Kurapika sighed and said, "The clan leader said that there have been a lot of strange people coming to the company recently, and our original partner seems to be planning to terminate the cooperation with us, so we have to find a new business opportunity."

…

At the same time, in an industrial park on the outskirts of a city called Moomi, a black-haired young man with a bandage on his forehead entered the factory.

He was still on the phone when he went in.

"Well, I submitted my resume, passed easily, and entered their factory right away."

After coming out of Meteor City for a few years, the seemingly innocent Kuroro Lusilu said to his little partner, the knight: "Pay attention to the surrounding communications, hoping to detect Fairy Tail."
