Chapter 527: Hunter
Dark Hunter is a very dangerous job, but it also pays very well. Their source of income depends entirely on hunting dark creatures to obtain hedrons, as well as various rare raw materials.
Su Hao originally planned to stay in the "Silver Arrow" tavern for a while longer, and wait until he was completely familiar with this world before making a move. However, when he first saw a customer buying wine with blue spar, he could no longer control his wild-beating mind.
The spar slab he had always carried with him, and it had already revealed alpha and beta-level genetic potion formulas, and there must be third-stage and gamma-level genetic formulas. The key lies in the higher-grade hedrons.
The conversation between Mohler and Ahlers is very dangerous, and the two villains may make a desperate attempt to kill Su Hao or imprison him. Su Hao is not worried about this situation, as long as one of Moeller and Alers is clear enough, he will not refuse his proposal. After all, it doesn't do anyone any good if the talks fall apart. By cooperating with each other, Ahlers can get a steady stream of cargo quotas from the wealthy merchant Fan Jin, and Su Hao can also get weapons and equipment to become a registered dark hunter.
"Bang--"
The gun went off, and the corpse man who was munching on rat meat only felt a huge force coming from the side. It was so violent, so violent, that it drilled straight through its own head and exploded inside. Blood and all kinds of filth suddenly poured down like a waterfall, and the rat, which had been caught a few seconds ago and had just been bitten off by the corpse, finally broke free from its claws, and only jumped out of the ground for less than half a meter before it completely lost its strength and fell into the grass and convulsed.
Su Hao did not rush over to harvest the prey, but through the scope, he scanned back and forth in the surrounding wilderness for nearly half a minute, and after making sure that there was no potential threat, he put away his sniper rifle, bent over, like a ghost, and trotted over.
Many things in the Phase 3 world are different from Earth and the Red Dragon Planet. The bullet here is more powerful, the same nine-millimeter bullet, which can directly penetrate the body of the evolutionary. This difference comes from the structure of gunpowder in the world at different stages. Su Hao found that the human beings here are not accustomed to using thinking consciousness, and the technological structure is also very strange. In terms of firearms, there are no more than long-range single shots and short-range bursts, and the categories and methods of use are similar to those of the Earth and it, but no energy weapons such as lasers have been developed. On the other hand, cold weapons such as battle axes have become the standard equipment of dark hunters and even the imperial army. It was not an ordinary metal creation, but a weapon made of highly polymeric molecules, with extreme hardness and toughness. They are capable of releasing powerful beams of energy, and high-frequency fighting knives are also common among the people. It's hard to imagine that beam energy isn't used for long-range shooting weapons, but instead for hand-to-hand combat with more advanced technology...... Su Hao himself doesn't know, should he say that they are advanced? Or should they be said to be primitive?
The corpse's head had been blown to pieces, and the hedron was scattered in the grass along with its various contents. It was a white spar, the transparency and purity were not much different from the same kind of substances on the earth, but the volume was beyond Su Hao's imagination, and it was even about twice as large as the one obtained from the mutant human body on the Red Dragon Planet.
β¦β¦
Two days later, Su Hao returned to Redstone City. At this time, he already had more than a hundred white crystals and three citrine in his pocket.
The Dark Hunter Guild is one of the most striking buildings in the city. The building has six floors, all of which are very strong reinforced concrete structures, with little glass on the surface, barbed wire fences all around the building, and sandbags at the entrances and exits. Without the slightest sense of beauty, all of them are based on the theme of practicality and sturdiness. Around the building, there are several seven or eight meter-high guard towers, with heavy machine guns on the roof, ready to guard against strangers who want to trespass without permission.
The guards are disorganized in their attire and weapons, and although they are not uniformly equipped, they behave in line with the concept of "veterans". They had all seen blood, and they acted in a ruthless and ruthless manner. Su Hao didn't know what the Dark Hunter Guild in other places looked like? However, the guild seat in Redstone City is heavily guarded and unassailable.
Although he is a newcomer, Su Hao's appearance is very special, and he has also left a deep impression on the guards. After a simple routine inspection of the documents, he waved his hand to let him go.
On the wall in the left corner of the hall on the first floor, there is a giant screen more than five meters wide. Hundreds of quests are scrolled through in text. From the easiest "D" grade, to the most difficult "A" grade, the information is clear and everyone who walks into the hall can see it. Of course, if you feel that the task information is scrolling too fast, you can also use the assigned ID card to query on the machine next to you. In general, you can query "S" class missions that are higher level and symbolize a higher chance of death. The bounty is huge, but if you want to make money, you must first weigh whether you have the life to spend it.
Su Hao stopped in front of the mission window. It's all all-weather service here, but Su Hao came back a little late, and now it's past eleven o'clock at night, a very young female receptionist may be tired, plus no one usually comes in at this hour, so he turned his head sideways, lay on the table and dozed grogily, not noticing that Su Hao took off his backpack and took out a heavy canvas pocket from it.
The pocket was filled with white spars, and the weight was very heavy, and Su Hao threw the bag directly on the table, making a loud impact. The female receptionist, who was sleeping in a daze, was immediately carried out, sat up straight like a conditioned reflex, rubbed her eyes, and when she saw Su Hao standing outside the counter clearly, her sleepy eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly pulled the messy hair around her ears, smiled, and asked in a gentle tone: "What?" Do you want to pay for the task? β
Su Hao nodded, took out the hunter's identity card from his coat pocket, handed it over, and showed a smile: "I'm really sorry to disturb you so late." Can you help me make a record of my promotions? β
The Dark Hunter Guild also has a hierarchy. From the lowest one star to the highest five stars, they represent the different strengths of hunters. This is also an obstacle to restricting hunters from indiscriminately receiving tasks. Many fledgling people only see the great rewards of advanced tasks, but ignore the great danger of death. According to the rules, no one is allowed to perform the same task as long as one person has taken the task and confirmed its completion, or until the executor dies. This rigid rule is mainly to protect the hunter's personal rights and interests, but it also causes the task publisher to have to wait for a long time for the task process. Regardless, hunters have embraced and endorsed this rule for thousands of years, enforcing it as a statute and law.
All newcomers are one-star, and no one is special in this regard. Of course, there are also particularly powerful characters who join the Dark Hunter Guild and need to be identified and promoted in the shortest possible time. For this reason, the guild has specially formulated additional promotion rules, that is, hedron can be used as a task instead, in order to pay the required number and type to obtain a higher level of status.
From one star to two stars, you need to pay 500 grams of white spar, or 50 yellow spars.
In the past week or so, Su Hao had paid more than 300 white crystals in batches. The harvest of this hunting trip was great, he killed two corpses alone, and the number of white crystals was enough.
In the eyes of women, handsome men are likable at all times. Looking at Su Hao's flawless, trembling face, the female receptionist only felt that her heart was beating faster, a lot of fluid was secreted between her legs, and her crotch was wet and uncomfortable. She glanced at Su Hao meaningfully, quickly typed the keyboard on the computer, called up Su Hao's personal file, and after confirming that the number and type of spars paid were correct, she forcefully clicked the confirmation button in the column of sending the promotion report.
"It's a nice day."
The female receptionist turned her head, glanced at the starry night sky outside the window, refocused her eyes on Su Hao, and deliberately moved her body down on the chair, so that the open chest with the neckline appeared in front of Su Hao at a more direct angle, and her words were also very direct: "I will change shifts in another hour." As a post-promotion celebration, should I be treated for a drink? β
Su Hao had a charming smile on his face: "I'm a poor ghost who has just entered the industry, I don't have much money in my pocket, and I don't dare to go to places that are too expensive." However, my bed was large and soft. β
The naked teasing made the female receptionist's mouth dry, and her face was involuntarily stained with a circle of redness. Of course, this is not shyness, for her, who has field experience in many places, it is pediatrics at all. It's just that the thought of another damn hour before you get off work is really uncomfortable and really uncomfortable.
She looked at Su Hao affectionately: "I have a bottle of good wine, I like to be quiet." What about you? β
Su Hao smiled, took out the spar communicator from his pocket, opened the digital input screen, and asked in the most seductive tone: "What is your call-in number?" I'll call you later, so remember to bring your wine. β
β¦β¦
Leaving the Dark Hunter Guild, Su Hao took his empty backpack and weapons and walked towards the noisy neighborhood in the distance.
The ridicule with the female receptionist was just a joke, and Su Hao had no idea of taking this woman out for the night. The people in Redstone are villains, and women are no exception. Although this receptionist is young, he has a place on the huge list of hunts of the Imperial Police. There are also a lot of men around her, and there are a few fools who are particularly infatuated with her, Su Hao doesn't want to get involved in an inexplicable peach-colored dispute out of thin air. The easiest way is to ask for the other party's communication number, and then tell her in very cryptic words: "I will ask you out." β
As for the specific time of appointment, of course, it depends on Su Hao's mood.
Redstone is bustling, and even fugitives and criminals need entertainment and life. The neighbourhood is full of bars, nightclubs, casinos and budget hostels. Here you can find a qiΔ desired entertainment, and of course the danger of Cheng dΓΉ is also multiplied. After all, there are not many people here who do business honestly, and there are many people who want to rob money and make a fortune halfway.
All in all, it's full of violence and sex, as well as drugs and alcohol. Walking down a crowded street, a scantily clad woman can come and hug you at any moment and ask you for an overnight stay. Or a few teenage bastards hug your thighs and shout "Daddy", and then coax and trick you into taking everything on you.
At a stall that looked fairly clean, Su Hao stopped. He asked for a meatloaf and a bowl of soup. This is the most common food in Redstone. The mixed grain noodles have a rough texture, and when they are freshly grilled, they have a unique taste. Spices such as green onion and ginger are used to make it fragrant, and of course, garlic is also indispensable. The dry climate around Redstone is ideal for spice crops, and meat comes from its own sources. It could be rat meat, or it could be some other animal. In short, it definitely won't be an object on a dark creature. In this regard, the villains in Redstone City are quite disciplined, not as unscrupulous as the Earth merchants.
Su Hao had patronized this stall before, and he knew the boss to some extent. Just as he had just eaten half of his meal, sweat beads were forming on his head because of the hot food, when a group of people came up from the far street. It seems that he is also looking for a suitable place to eat. They took a fancy to the stall where Su Hao was, but the location was very small, but two tables and a few benches were barely enough to sit, but if Su Hao was added, it would undoubtedly be too crowded.
There were eight people in total, including two women. A particularly burly man walked over, wearing only an off-the-shoulder vest with a tangled upper body. His chest and two arms were covered with black hair, staring at Su Hao with a cold and arrogant gaze, he grabbed the glass bottle containing the spices from the table next to him, and placed it directly between Su Hao and the big bowl of soup, spraying a strong smell of wine, and said, "It's too spacious to sit here alone." Bring your stuff and get out of the way. β
Su Hao slowly chewed the meat patty that had not yet been eaten in his mouth, and looked at the big man silently, and the other party's gaze became more fierce. The strong man's patience was obviously not very good, he looked at each other for a few seconds, and was about to break out, but he saw Su Hao nodding silently, bending down, picking up the backpack at his feet, taking out a few copper plates from his pocket and placing them on the table, standing up and leaving.
People who like to watch the excitement always occupy the majority. Overall, the apparent security situation in Redstone City is much better than in other places. This is all because the residents of the city know each other's background and strengths. It is said that the original founder of the city was just a group of felons who killed police officers and escaped from prison en masse. There is a natural attraction between thieves and villains, and in this way, more and more downcasts and criminals begin to gather, even rapists and prostitutes have normal physiological needs, and the union of men and women naturally arises. However, the basic elements of both parents are there, and there is certainly a chance that scholars and saints will be born in the slums, but the chances are very small, so low that they can hardly be counted. Parents have the most direct influence on their children, and there are no schools or anything like that in Redstone. In such an environment that is inherently filthy and vile, full of sin and murder, and has been exposed to fraud, brawl, and predation from birth, even if the innocent mercy of God occasionally rains down a few pure seeds with spiritual wisdom, it will be completely infiltrated by the pervasive black dirty water, and become an incomparably evil devil.
The shouting began with a few small children. They were only eleven or twelve years old, the boy's eyes showed a cold light of disdain, and the girl was obviously not yet developed, but she was dressed very revealingly, and she kept spitting at Su Hao. The initial silence around the environment was quickly stirred up by these children. Many onlookers showed ambiguous expressions on their faces, and the caution and caution they were at first watching turned into contempt and ridicule for Su Hao.
"Soft eggs!"
"Devil!"
"I thought I could have a good show, but I didn't expect this little white face to be even more timid than I imagined. Do you see his face? scared whiter than a dead man, no need to rub powder at all, she is a girl alive! β
This remark caused a burst of laughter in the crowd.
"He's good-looking, but his gender is out of proportion to his ability."
A malicious voice came from the depths of the crowd: "Wash him clean, cut off what shouldn't be there, and dress up well, it should be very popular in Flower Street." For the sake of his round little ass, I'll be the first to take care of his business. β
The strong man had already planned to let Su Hao go like this, but the noise in the crowd caused the raging fire that he had extinguished to be ignited again. He grinned, trying to grab Su Hao's collar and use violent means to pull the last piece out of his pocket. This kind of thing is done a lot by strong men, and it is also very familiar, as long as you raise your fist, those cowards will immediately kneel on the ground and cry and beg, eager to take off their underwear as a weight of atonement in front of you.
Bullying people is a very cool thing, it has nothing to do with carnal desires or hormones, it is purely just an outlet for the excess energy of tyrannical people. The strong man is not short of money, and he also knows that he can't actually take out much copper plate from the coward's pocket. However, things in the world are so wonderful, and the ten-dollar bill that you have worked so hard to earn back is the same as the threat of forcing someone to take out a bill of the same denomination from your pocket, although it has the same value, but the sensory and psychological stimulation is very different. Especially the latter, once successful, the sense of satisfaction and superiority will make you feel very self-esteemed, and inexplicably produce arrogance and courage to dominate the world.
Su Hao didn't give the strong man a chance to exert his raging brute force. His steps were extremely nimble, and despite the large backpack and heavy sniper rifle, Su Hao rushed left and right in the crowd, squeezing out of seemingly impossible gaps. A few guys who deliberately wanted to block his way quickly blocked the intersection, but found that Su Hao was simply more slippery than a loach, if it didn't work on the left, it would be on the right, and if it didn't work on the right, it would be behind. After turning around, it took only half a minute before and after, and it had disappeared without a trace. Yuan bills, which threaten to force someone to take out a paper note of the same denomination from their pocket, have the same value, but the sensory and psychological stimulation is very different. Especially the latter, once successful, the sense of satisfaction and superiority will make you feel very self-esteemed, and inexplicably produce arrogance and courage to dominate the world.
