Chapter 8: The Hunters' Association
From Mark's mouth, Yi Ming knew that this era was called the "New Warring States Era", and Yan, Qin, Jin, Qilu, and Wu Chu were the contemporary Seven Heroes, and there were ten small countries mixed between the Seven Kingdoms. Now there is only one continent on the earth, the islands are very scarce, the population is only one billion, the ecology has been restored to a primitive state, all kinds of fierce beasts and monsters are rampant in the wild, and human beings have to pay a huge price for every new city they build. But even with the constraints of wild beasts and the natural environment, it still can't stop the ambition of countries to dominate the continent.
Mark and the others belong to a neutral organization called the Hunters' Guild, whose goal is to investigate ecology and hunt wild beasts that pose a threat to humans. It is said that the Hunters' Association has been established for thousands of years, and has grown to nearly 10 million members all over the world. The Guild itself is absolutely neutral and does not participate in the affairs of any country, but it does not restrict hunters from participating in their personal capacity. In short, this is an organization with a high degree of freedom, if you want to join, you must first pay at least 20,000 wafers for testing, and then you can successfully join after various tests, and once you fail this test, you can only pay 20,000 wafers after two years to try again.
Although Mark looks young, he is already 32 years old, and he is now a five-star hunter, and he is the chief of the next hunter in the Jin Kingdom. The Hunters' Association divides hunters into ten stars and nine diamonds, with a total of nineteen grades. Newcomers who have just joined the club do not have a star rating, and they must complete a series of tasks before they can level up.
After that, one to five stars are the next hunters, and they can only take on some tasks with lower difficulty; Six stars to ten stars are the upper hunters, hunters can get a chance to upgrade Hongmeng when they are eight stars, and the requirement is to complete a task of nine deaths and one life, this task is not mandatory; More than ten stars is a diamond-level elite hunter, and in order to become an elite hunter, you must complete the upgrade of Hongmeng, and then there are a series of tasks and tests, and the specific requirements are not known to Mark now.
As for the other beast illustrated books, the history of the continent and the like, Mark just said that everything will be clear when he connects to the Internet after returning to the city.
Mark took Yi Ming to a very secluded camp, and after putting some supplies and other things into the camp, he got a hovercar out of nowhere and quickly left the forest with everyone.
In just twenty minutes, Yi Ming entered this city called "Letong". The scene here satisfies all Yi Ming's fantasies of the future city, with hovering cars in the sky, robots running around in the crowd, and towering buildings that are scattered so that people don't feel depressed at all......
Mark's hovercar shuttled around the city for more than ten minutes and then came to a heroic building, and after everyone got out of the car, he stretched out his hand, and the car turned into a capsule and fell into the palm of Mark's hand. Yi Ming was shocked by this kind of operation, this look is the space capsule technology in "Dragon Ball", but he didn't expect it to be realized. But he still forced his composure and followed Mark and the others into the building.
"This is the hunter branch of Letong City, Li Xun will take you to register in a while, and now it's getting late, I'll arrange for you to take the test tomorrow." Mark said. Then Mark stretched out his finger and clicked a few times in the void, and the floor under his feet lifted him up and flew towards the upper floor, Liu Liu and Tang Jiake followed closely behind.
Li Xun took Yi Ming to a small office on the first floor, and the door was marked with the words "Registration Office". Li Xun knocked on the door twice, Yi Ming didn't hear the people inside, so Li Xun pushed the door and entered. I saw a sleepy old man sitting in front of a messy table inside, and Li Xun also shouted unceremoniously, "Old man!" ”
The old man didn't raise his eyelids and said, "Who is so rude, it's almost time to get off work, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Xun said in an arrogant tone: "Old man, I'll bring someone to register, you hurry up and arrange it, and the test will be taken tomorrow." ”
"Boy, don't you know that the next time you accept someone will be half a year later? Where did you come from, where do you go back! Don't make me sleep. The old man seemed a little upset.
Li Xun clicked on his information and said impatiently: "Old man, I am a four-star hunter, and my captain is the chief mark of the next hunter, he called me here, so hurry up and register." ”
"Hey, a little low-rank four-star hunter dares to be so arrogant? Even if your chief captain comes, it's not easy to do it, get out of here! The old man glared at Li Xun and said.
"Old man, don't be ignorant, don't you just want to blackmail money, let's say a number."
The old man seemed to be really angry, and pointed at Yi Ming and said: "You guys hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, as long as Lao Tzu is still in the Letong City Association for a day, it is impossible for him to register here!" ”
"Heh, I can't see that your temper is quite big, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, I have to give you some color!" Li Xun said with an unkind face.
Hearing Li Xun's words, the old man smiled and said, "Haha, Lao Tzu wants to see what you have to make Lao Tzu see the coffin today!" After saying that, the old man stood up, his hands behind his back, and a completely different momentum emanated from him.
At this time, Li Xun found that the old man seemed to be even more powerful than he imagined, and he didn't know what to do for a while. At this time, Mark's voice came from behind him: "Li Xun! What are you doing? Don't hurry up and apologize to Lei Lao! ”
Hearing Mark's voice, cold sweat instantly burst out of Li Xun's head, and he asked the old man in front of him tremblingly: "You, are you really Lei Lao?" ”
The old man ignored him, just waved his hand and Li Xun was pushed out of the door, and the door of the room was closed together, and the original green words on the door also turned red. Even Mark, who wanted to enter the room, was taken aback. Mark said unhappily: "Li Xun, look at the good things you have done!" Go find a team that is willing to take you in, I've given you enough opportunities. After saying that, he knocked on the door of the small registration office, and didn't look at Li Xun, who was sitting in the corner of the wall like ashes.
"Who?" Mark knocked on the door for a full fifteen minutes before a lazy voice came from inside.
"Lei Lao, I'm Mark Frank, the junior just visited you with the teacher Claire last week, and please take a look at this newcomer I recommended." Mark said in a very humble tone.
"Oh, it's Colaire's disciple, bring in the person you recommended, that fool doesn't have to come in, let him get out of here." The old man said.
Hearing this, Mark hurriedly asked Tang Jiake and Liu Liu, who had already handed over the task and rushed here, to take Li Xun away, and then straightened his clothes before pushing open the door and walking in. Yi Ming saw that this old man was powerful, and he quickly cleaned up to make himself look less embarrassed.
"Tell me, what's so special about this raggedly dressed kid? It is worth recommending. Lei Lao, who was sitting in the chair and returned to his drowsy appearance, asked.
As soon as he spoke, Yi Ming scratched his head embarrassedly, after all, his current body was even more unbearable than the disciples of the beggar gang, and his clothes were covered with tattered holes, so his mental outlook looked good, and the others were really worse than the poor. After all, he had suffered for several days, and today he escaped from the mouths of two great beasts and ascended to heaven, and it was good to still have clothes to wear.
"His name is Yi Ming, a free man from the mining area, look at this photo." When Mark finished saying this, Lei Lao's eyebrows moved innorantly, and then looked at the photo projected by Mark, which was the ghost frog they killed, and he pointed to the location of the ghost frog's left fangs and said: "This tooth of the ghost frog was knocked out by him alone, and this video is for you to take a look." The video projected by Mark is the clip of Yi Ming fighting the green bear beast alone, although this video is only two minutes, but Lei Lao is amazed.
"Pony, you guys can't grab the head, give this kid half a minute and he can grind this blue bear beast to death, you're still too young." Lei Lao said.
"Lei Lao has learned a lesson, then you can take a look at Yi Ming's registration test?" Mark asked.
Lei Lao pointed at Yi Ming and said, "You kid is okay, I'll let you go today, hurry up and come over and show your Hongmeng homepage." ”
Yi Ming hurriedly stepped forward and gave his information to Lei Lao, Lei Lao operated on Hongmeng, and completed the registration in about a minute, and after registration, he said to Mark: "Little Pony, take this kid to clean up well, I will personally test him tomorrow, you can go now." After saying that, he entered the state of fugue again.
Not daring to disturb Lei Lao, Mark took Yi Ming out of the room carefully, and gently closed the door, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and take Yi Ming to his dormitory. And Lei Lao at the registration office whispered to himself at this time: "Are you upgrading from a poor person in the mining area to a free citizen?" It's kind of interesting. ”
Mark, who took Yi Ming to the dormitory, first found a set of his own clothes for him to change into, and then called Tang Jiake and Liu Liu to a luxurious restaurant, ate something casually, and after chatting for a while, several people took Yi Ming to buy a few sets of clothes and some miscellaneous things, and finally they sent Yi Ming to the reception of the Hunter Association to say goodbye and left.
At this time, Yi Ming, who was lying in the room, was still slowly digesting the news he got today and the upcoming test tomorrow, which made him forget the existence of Hongmeng again, and the radio in his body automatically turned on the search mode after he fell asleep, as if looking for a certain station.
