Chapter 208 Gray Hunter's Mission
"Your strength is qualified. Come with me. I will take you to the meeting room of our Black Mine City Hunter Branch."
Tiexiong straightened his collar, gave up the idea of showing off his muscles, and continued forward along the gravel path in the open-air training ground.
The last level...
Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his face and looked up at the sky.
The day was already blazing, and before we knew it, it was already noon.
It was indeed somewhat difficult to complete the Hunter Association's professional assessment within one day.
Chen Qi followed Tiexiong's footsteps and walked up the spiral staircase to the high-rise building of the association's headquarters.
A retro iron door appeared in front of them.
Just then, a gray mouse passed by his toes.
The boss is here! Tie Xiong immediately broke out in a cold sweat, stopped, and finally said:
"Newbie, let me remind you that at the moment, the hunters are not what you imagine, and our boss is not someone you can easily mess with."
Then, Tiexiong placed his hand on the door and slowly pushed it open:
"Today's time is exactly when we update the tasks. Go inside and find our branch association president Gray Mouse. He will assign you a task."
Tiexiong kindly reminded:
"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best to be respectful of our boss's words. Also, learn to say no appropriately. There are some things that you can't control."
In the Hunter Association, the more terrifying thing than being insulted and beaten by higher-ranking people is being tasked with a mission that is beyond your capacity.
Gray Rat... Chen Qi vaguely remembered this person. Accompanied by the sound of a heavy iron door, he walked into the meeting room of the Hunter Association.
The Hunter Association is an organization that emphasizes freedom. Its internal rules are extremely simple, which is to accept missions and then complete them.
Whoever completes more tasks and obtains more intelligence will become the boss of the Hunter Association.
Chen Qi looked around.
This is a conference room with a round table. Those sitting on the chairs are all third-level transcendents with status.
The third-level transcendents were all powerful leaders before the rift tide.
But at this moment, there were only three people at the round table, and most of them were second-level transcendents standing.
Three third-level transcendents, and more than thirty second-level transcendents.
At the main seat at the round table was a hunter in a gray coat. He was wearing an old hunter's suit underneath the coat, and in his right hand, he was playing with a poor little gray mouse.
His face was not very old, perhaps thirty years old, but his hair was already gray, and the exposed skin also showed an extremely scary old look, like shriveled bark.
The president of the Black Mine City Hunter Association branch, a third-level shell blade type, and a bounty hunter.
High-level Bei Xiang profession... Chen Qi remembered this person.
The opponent is also a well-known figure in the Black Mine City, and also a very rare bounty hunter in the Witch Sea.
This is a special profession that allows one to earn special currency by completing bounty missions, and then exchange it for extraordinary items and attributes with a special alien merchant called Greedy.
As a third-tier profession, it has been able to come into contact with the special existence 'Greed', and as a Shell Blade profession, it possesses extremely powerful single-player combat capabilities.
Gray Rat is a veteran bounty hunter, known as the Gray Hunter!
The Bei Kingdom possesses a great deal of knowledge about the Bei and Hammer aspects, while the Blade aspect often represents a strong frontal confrontation capability, and the Gray Rat is undoubtedly the best among them.
Even if he activated the Touch of the Ember, he would still be no match for the other party, and might not even be able to last more than thirty seconds...
Chen Qi remembered that this branch director of the association was only one step away from becoming a fourth-level legend.
In addition, the network behind Gray Rat is very large. He is closely connected with the sewers of the underground world. At the same time, he has a very deep connection with a fourth-level legendary book card maker. In his hands, he has extremely special skill cards and a large number of general skill cards.
These skill cards can only be obtained by completing important tasks in Black Mine City.
In addition, the Gray Rat itself is the opener of the sewer route. Through it, you can enter the underground map "Sewer" of the New Sun World.
A key figure in the black mining city.
At this time, the other party actually appeared in the meeting room?
Under normal circumstances, the boss of such an association would not come to preside over a small hunter meeting.
Why? Does this gray squirrel have some big mission?
Chen Qi couldn't help but guess in his heart.
When Chen Qi stepped into the meeting room, Gray Mouse adjusted his hat and asked:
"Newcomer?"
"Yes, I just finished the first two assessments and came here to complete the last one."
"oh?"
Gray Mouse's eyes turned slightly, and he crossed his hands into fists:
"Newcomer, you should know that a new era has arrived. With the advent of the Rift Tide, we hunters no longer need some boring scraps. What we need are adventurers, fearless people who dare to complete all tasks.
This means that hunters holding the new second-level hunter certificate must have strength beyond that of ordinary second-level extraordinary people! "
Trouble... Chen Qi felt a bad feeling:
"I am quite confident in my own strength. Even if the opponent is a Blade Master from the Black Blood Empire, I am confident that I can defeat him."
Chen Qi spun the collector in his hand.
Under normal circumstances, the person presiding over this meeting should be an ordinary third-level transcendent.
But he never expected that Gray Rat would be the host of this meeting and actually talk to him directly.
A mouse climbed onto the brim of the gray mouse's hat, making a crackling sound.
The gray mouse touched the brim of his hat:
"Newbie, my little mouse told me that you defeated Black Fist. In the past, Black Fist was a good guy, but among the countless geniuses emerging in the Witch Sea, he was just an ordinary person."
The gray mouse continued:
"But being able to defeat him proves that you have reached the standard. However, being a hunter is not a profession that just involves fighting and killing, but an adventurous profession. Therefore, before I issue you the hunter certificate, you still need to complete one last simple task."
Gray Mouse deliberately emphasized the word "task".
One last 'easy' task... Chen Qi looked around.
Before coming in, Tiexiong reminded him to be respectful of Gray Rat's words.
What may seem like a simple task to one gray mouse may be like a trip to hell to others.
At the same time, others also looked at the gray mouse.
Gray Mouse looked at Chen Qi again, with a faint smile on his face:
"Newbie, I happen to have three good commissions here. What do you think? It's just right that you join us, but we are still short of a mission. Do you want to take one?"
The commission from the three association presidents... Chen Qi lightly tapped the belt around his waist.
Generally speaking, the commissions issued by Gray Rat are all difficult commissions in the Hunter Association.
His goal was just to get a second-level Hunter Association certificate, and after he returned to the ship, he would discuss with Finn about going to the Blood Blade Pirates.
I can't just agree to it... Chen Qi replied politely:
"I'm afraid my strength is not yet at the point where I can accept missions at will. If I were strong enough, I would accept this commission."
The moment he finished speaking, a third-level boxer said:
"Newbie, you can just refuse. I have a 'sandbag' mission here. The boxing gym in Black Mine City is doing actual combat training, and there is also a rich woman..."
Sandbag? Rich woman? Chen Qi was shocked. Isn't there any normal task?
Chen Qi suddenly discovered that many second-level hunters were looking at him with envious eyes.
Helping the rich lady with work and doing sandbag tasks seem to be good tasks?
Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water. He would never accept these tasks unless he had no choice.
And the next second, the gray mouse interrupted the other party:
"Boxer, stop talking. Your tasks are simply torture for newbies. Newbie! Don't worry, they are all quite simple!"
"Well, it's almost time now. Today, I will update you on our commissions. These are all good commissions that I have worked hard to get for you by running around in Black Mine City."
Then, the gray mouse casually threw two commission papers onto the round table.
Chen Qi followed the crowd forward to check out the two freshly-made commissions.
[Looking for clues about the big businessman Jin Li
Client: Magic Bullet Company
Reward: Any of the new X-series weapons of the Magic Bullet Company (can be replaced at will), 500,000 Shells
Time limit: 10 days
Note: If an adult wants to buy something from this big merchant, tell him the area where the big merchant appears. 】
New X-series weapons... Chen Qi's eyes flashed.
This is considered an extremely powerful firearm, and can usually only be mastered by those with hammer-related skills. As a mid-term weapon, it is quite powerful.
The content is about searching for Jin Li, the second in command of the Ice Demon Pirates.
These fourth-level legends will continue to travel in the Witch Sea because of their professional missions.
But as legends, the items they sell far exceed those of ordinary merchants.
Everyone started talking about it.
Then, Chen Qi looked at the second commission.
【Kill the Black Gloves' Criminal Shadow
Client: An anonymous businessman
Time limit: 2 days
Description: The criminal shadows under the Black Gloves saw something they shouldn't have seen. They found that these criminal shadows went to the brewery under the Blood Blade Pirates and killed them before they returned to the hands of the Black Gloves.
Reward: A bottle of new strength-enhancing potion, a strength-related skill card (exchangeable for shells), and 500,000 shells. 】
After reading the two commissions, a second-level hunter couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! Two more difficult tasks! I'd rather be a gigolo!"
Chen Qi analyzed it.
The first task is to find Jin Li.
Although Jin Li is a gentle businessman, she is also a legendary extraordinary person.
However, it is extremely difficult to get clues about a fourth-level legend.
The second mission is to kill the shadow of crime...
Chen Qi touched his chin.
The Shadow of Crime is a special superhuman cultivated by the Black Gloves. Although they possess the aura of a second-level superhuman, they are essentially monsters created by experiments and their combat power is not strong.
The difficulty of this mission is that if something goes wrong, it is very likely that both the Black Gloves and the Blood Blade Pirates will be offended at the same time!
Everyone shook their heads. Both tasks were quite difficult.
The gray mouse collapsed backwards:
"Don't be so loud. Although these tasks are a little more difficult, the rewards are also good, aren't they?"
The high-ranking third-rank boxer sighed:
"Gray Rat, the association doesn't have any extra third-level personnel to complete your tasks. I recommend that you inform the client as soon as possible that we cannot complete these two tasks..."
For some big forces, failure to complete the commission can easily lead to their wrath.
"Well! Let's give it a try. What if? If a hunter only completes safe tasks within his ability, then he is no longer a hunter, right?"
Gray Mouse smiled slightly and took out another piece of manuscript paper:
"Oh, everyone, there is one last task!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they came over.
Chen Qi also walked over to check and couldn't help but clench his fingers.
[Deliver a message to the Black Hunters
Client: White Dove Newspaper, Hunter Association Grey Hunter
Time limit: one month
Note: The White Dove Newspaper wants to interview the Black Hunter, and I have some information to share with them.
Mission Reward: 800,000 Shells, a fourth-level legendary card maker's combat skill card]
"???"
Chen Qi's eyelids twitched.
Why is there my commission, and why is the note on the commission "I"?
At this moment, the boxer couldn't help but clench his fists. His fists were hard!
A legendary businessman Jinli, a Black Glove, and now a Black Hunter!
Bang!
He couldn't help but slap the table and said loudly:
"Gray Mouse, the last time you accepted the commission from the Blood Blade Pirates to find the Flower Witch, it was outrageous enough. Now, what is the meaning of this commission?"
The gray squirrel's mission is becoming more and more difficult!
The gray mouse coughed twice:
"Although the White Dove Newspaper is also looking for the Black Hunter, I actually have something to ask them as well."
What's the matter? Chen Qi showed a curious look.
As a good young man on the sea, when did he become involved with the president of the Hunter Association?
Could it be that the bounty hunter wants to kill me?
Chen Qi's heart suddenly sank.
He vaguely remembered that bounty hunters could purchase a very special tracking item in the 'store'. With just a drop of blood or a strand of hair, they could track the other party across thousands of miles.
Moreover, as a bounty hunter, Gray Rat's tracking ability is extremely terrifying.
Could it be that I have been included in the Gray Squirrel's 'bounty list'?
Chen Qi felt a slight chill.
Others also asked:
"Gray Mouse, what do you want from Black Hunter?"
The gray mouse folded his hands into fists and placed them on his chin:
"Friends, don't you think that I am a bit similar to the Black Hunter? Think about it, my nickname is the Gray Hunter, and the Black Hunter's nickname is the Black Hunter?
What if someone confuses us? Or thinks we are related?
Therefore, I want to change the title, but changing it directly seems a bit like covering up the truth and it also lacks a sense of ritual.
Therefore, I want to discuss with Black Hunter and hope that he can change his title. No, this is unlikely. He probably won't be willing to do so...
If he could make a statement saying that we have no relationship, then I can just change my name, it would be more ceremonial.”
Gray Mouse explained in detail his motives and the content of the mission.
“So, this mission is not difficult, because there is no need to fight with the Black Hunter. You just need to convey the news to the Black Hunter for me and the White Dove Newspaper. There is no need to fight with him.
I think it should be easy to accomplish!"
How easy is it to convey the message to the Black Hunter?
Relax, you... Everyone's lips were eager to speak sweetly.
The gray mouse coughed twice and fell into thought:
"By the way, I think that when the Black Hunter encounters the title of Gray Hunter, he might have the same idea as me, so should I tell him if he minds my title?"
The moment he finished speaking, everyone's expressions could no longer be restrained and they all looked at the gray rat.
These three tasks, how can they be easy?
Moreover, for this reason, I accepted the task commissioned by the White Dove Newspaper.
Everyone turned to the more rational and friendly boxer for help.
The boxer held back his stiff fist and said again:
“Gray Rat, our hunters here, although they have second-level hunter certificates, are only second-level extraordinary people. When you accept a mission, you must consider the manpower of our association.
You should know that if the task is not completed, those big companies will not do nothing!
You'd better know that the navy and hunters from other companies all want this position, the position of the leader of the Black Mine City Hunter Association."
The boxer shook his head. The president of their Hunter Association had already accepted many such impossible tasks in a row.
He went on to say:
"Gray Mouse, the Red Hunter of the Bonfire Company, didn't have similar thoughts? Why do you think so?"
The gray mouse adjusted his hat:
"No, gray and black are very similar colors! And the Red Hunter is a female."
What are these two talking about? After listening to it, Chen Qi frowned even more.
Although gray and black are somewhat similar, why did he change the name? Why did he go through so much trouble? Why did he spend money to publish it in the newspaper?
No, don't try to understand their thinking process.
This matter itself is outrageous.
Chen Qi complained helplessly.
However, both of these tasks are good tasks!
And the rewards are rich enough.
The commission from the Blood Blade Pirates and the Black Hunter, although a little difficult, was still within his capabilities.
Chen Qi walked forward and picked up the two commission papers:
"Gray Mouse, the maximum number of commissions a hunter can accept is four. I want to try these two commissions."
"???"
Try? Try what? Everyone was shocked and looked at Chen Qi and the letter of authorization in his hand.
At this moment, the gray mouse spread his hands and blinked.
His eyes seemed to be saying to everyone, see, the task I gave you is really not difficult.
This mission! Even newbies dare to take it!
And two at a time!
Thanks to Baishi Mobi for giving Flower Witch 300 points! I am not a chef for giving Flower Witch 100 points! ! ! And everyone's subscriptions, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets! Super invincible Feng Weidong thanks wow wow wow! ! ! (ω)
