Chapter 529: Star

The cook is very fat, but after all, she is a woman who yearns for a quiet life. Among the drinkers was a small vendor like Zachary who regularly traveled between Redstone and the village. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to what they like. The vendor likes the cook very much, and when Su Hao was a cousin, he always took the initiative to take over the work in the hands of the cook, giving the dog man and woman a lot of time to get together. The vendor doesn't talk as sweetly as Sam, but he always brings a small gift of practical significance to the cook. In the chef's opinion, this is a good man who can live at home, and naturally he will not take care of Sam like in the past.

Mohler's coldness is understandable. As long as a man has a direction and purpose in life, he will always put in amazing efforts. Historically, there have been many examples of beggars turning into heroes, and it is also possible to become kings if they break down their families.

As for the chef...... The breakdown of the relationship between him and Sam was entirely due to Su Hao's "inadvertent" words.

Without the chef noticing, Su Hao placed an empty wine bottle next to the chopping board. When the chef was busy chopping meat with a kitchen knife, Su Hao walked behind the chef with a large basin of dirty bowls, and said with a little surprise: "Your pants are not properly worn, and the zipper is open." ”

The chef looked down and saw that it was indeed the case.

He was puzzled: this kind of thing can be found with your back to you, can your eyes bend?

Facing the chef's doubts, Su Hao pointed to the empty wine bottle placed next to the board, there was a clear projection on the bottle, even in the back, the movements of the chef's hands could be seen at a glance.

A lot of things are connected. Because of Su Hao's words, the chef quickly became interested in the jars and jars in the kitchen. He soon discovered that as long as the bottles were placed in different positions, they could reflect different scenes.

At the gaming table, the chef loses a lot of money. The reason for the refraction of light is actually very simple, and the chef finally remembered that every time Sam took him out to play cards, there were always a few empty wine bottles in the corners of the table and the wall. Although there is no direct evidence, the real reason why I have never won money must have something to do with it.

Su Hao doesn't like Sam, this man is too slippery. If it was just slippery, it wouldn't have allowed Su Hao to use his means to deal with him in secret. The real reason is that Sam is hostile to Su Hao. Just like a transfer student in a certain class in the school suddenly came and won the first place in the preliminary exam, the original indigenous first will definitely feel psychologically uncomfortable, and indifference and hostility will also arise.

Sam always can't help but compare himself to Su Hao.

He hated Ahler, why didn't he give him the same treatment as Su Hao? While a Dark Hunter isn't a good class, it's much better than a barboy. The application for membership requires a gold coin, and weapons and equipment also need money, and according to all calculations, Su Hao's outfit alone cost Alaers nearly four imperial gold coins. That's a lot of money, equivalent to more than a month's income from the Silver Arrow bar. However, things are so strange, not long after Su Hao left, Moller's cocktails were very popular. During this time, the turnover of the "Silver Arrow" bar has increased exponentially, but it has nothing to do with Sam.

Looking at Su Hao's back, Sam gritted his teeth hatefully, clapped his palms very reluctantly, and said dryly: "There is a business, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

Su Hao stopped and turned around, his eyes showing a calm and puzzled look.

There are many more sources than the average person. Su Hao needed more information to enrich his understanding of the third stage of the world. Regardless of whether Sam has malicious intent or not? Or is it some kind of trap for yourself? Su Hao felt that he should listen to it. Whether you do it or not is another matter, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

"I have a friend who, like you, is also a Dark Hunter."

Sam took a few steps forward, grinned, and whispered mysteriously, "Most of the hunters who have just joined the guild don't get any money-making tasks. My friend happened to have a good deal, but he didn't have enough people. If I wish, I can introduce you to you. ”

These words are not just open mouths. The Dark Hunter Guild does have such a rule, even the lowest "D" class quest requires at least two stars or more hunters to be eligible to claim it. One-star hunters have always been just running errands, and then they are honestly hunting dark creatures in the wilderness, accumulating hedrons one by one in exchange for promotion qualifications.

Su Hao has an instinctive distrust of Sam. With the idea of just learning about it, he casually asked, "What is a good deal?" Be specific. ”

Sam smiled on his lean face, and he lowered his voice more cautiously: "A 'B' class mission, they want to enter the interior of the dark zone, which is full of opportunities and can make a lot of money. ”

……

Redstone City, sixth floor of the Dark Hunters Guild.

It was a very luxurious room. The walls are entirely made of large blocks of rock, and there are more than a dozen specially made skull specimens hanging on the walls. Judging by the basic outline, it is somewhere between a human and a beast. About half of the skulls have fangs, and the junction between the jaw and the skull is much larger than that of humans. The other part of the skull is no different from a normal person, but if you open the mandible, you can see that there are two other layers of sharp teeth inside the mouth. Although it is small, it is like a grinder, capable of cutting food from different directions.

Weapons hung all over the room. There are extremely expensive light fighting knives, as well as throwing guns and battle axes made entirely of metal. Firearms dominate the list, with guns firing traditional gunpowder bullets lining an entire wall, flanked by light guns of a coarse caliber that are more used by individual soldiers than guns.

Gao Mo sat on the sofa and looked intently at the pile of essays placed next to him.

As an old man over 60 years old, Gao Mo's appearance does not match his age very well, and he is far from being as old as he actually is. His muscles are still strong, his physique is still strong, and he is just as cold-blooded and cruel when he kills. As the vice president of the Dark Hunter Guild, these basic elements are indispensable. Although Gao Mo knows better than anyone else about the importance of his body, and tries his best to keep himself young and energetic, he can't violate the law of time after all. After the age of fifty, the skin is like an "ordinary" falling stone on the surface of the water, and suddenly a dense layer of fine lines emerges, gathering and loosening as he speaks, and then gathering and reagging, and then loosening.

The Dark Hunter Guild is the most powerful civilian armed force under the Empire outside of the military. Due to the different regions in which each club is located, the number of hunters under its jurisdiction varies. Generally speaking, only hunters with more than two stars will be truly recognized and listed as actual members of the guild. There are millions of these people in every corner of the world.

Anyone can become a one-star hunter, the application process is not complicated, as long as you pay a gold fee, the guild will issue you a Dark Hunter badge that represents your identity. In terms of value, this exchange is not really reciprocal. The actual cost of that badge is very low, and dozens of them can be made from a single copper plate.

As one of the vice presidents of the Dark Hunter Guild, Gao Mo was never interested in how many one-star hunters there were in the guild. Those people are cannon fodder, impostors, exiles who have to have such a name for various reasons. Some may even be dark creatures disguised as humans. After all, high-level dark creatures are no different from humans in appearance, with the only difference being that they feed on humans.

No matter at any time, place, or for any reason, the Dark Hunter Guild will never stand out for a one-star hunter. This kind of thing has long been a common practice, and the relationship between them and the guild is just an exchange of gold coins, and the guild only provides them with the possibility of promotion. To put it bluntly, in fact, it is still the same sentence: specific strength represents the treatment it deserves, and the soft egg is still a soft egg, and it will never suddenly change its identity and become a hero who dares to kill dark creatures because of a mere gold coin.

"Stupid!"

"Idiot!"

"Damn fools, brainless pigs!"

Gao Mo's temper has always been very hot, and because of his high position, he has greatly limited his shortcomings. There was a cup of green tea on the wooden table next to the sofa, and when Gao Mo looked at Wen Jiàn, he picked up the teacup from time to time and took a sip, but his mouth was cursing lightly.

Redstone is a disgusting place of sin. Even a very responsible Dark Hunter like Gao Mo wouldn't like the squalor and gore of the city. He had always believed that killing among his own people was despicable, and that with the time and energy, he should devote all his strength to dealing with the dark creatures. Killing a few more high-level humanoids is more revealing than anything else.

Promotions within the guild need to be approved by the deacons and above. Fraud is a common phenomenon in any civilized world, and Gao Mo doesn't want the Dark Hunters' Guild to become a rotten place for the Empire's civil service. The only thing he can do is to keep going back and forth at the locations of the various chapters, strictly review every promotion document, remove dirt, and leave the elite.

There are three ways to advance as a Dark Hunter. The most common way to accumulate hedrons to reach the payment amount is to complete specific tasks and kill high-level dark creatures through guò. Compared to the latter two, the first is of course the simplest and safest.

That's where Gao Mo's anger comes from.

There are a total of seventy-four promotion review essays from one star to two stars. Of these, only one is true.

Being able to become the vice president in itself shows that Gao Mo is a veteran dark hunter. He has a wealth of experience in this area, and he is naturally clear about the various means that he wants to climb up the ladder when he is just starting out.

According to the regulations, one star must pay five hundred white spars to be promoted to two stars. This thing is very common, and you can get it by killing a random corpse. Due to the wide range of sources, almost all machinery and weapons manufactured in the empire were supplied with hedron as a source of energy.

Different hepars can be exchanged for huàn. Five hundred white crystals are equivalent to five yellow crystals, in short, if you don't have a sufficient number of white crystals, you can also pay citrine as an alternative, and you can also qualify for promotion.

Almost all of the promotions chose to pay the yellow hedron, with one exception.

Gao Mo himself slowly climbed up from a one-star hunter.

He remembered vividly that at that time, he and his master carried rough dry food and water, and roamed the wilderness for many years as adults, never missing any opportunity to kill dark creatures. The largest amount of harvest was the white crystal, which was most easily circulated in the economically underdeveloped settlements and cities on the periphery of the empire, and yellow crystal, which was not common in the market, was often used as a valuable item for storage. On the basis of this value concept, every hunter in his right mind will only choose to pay white spars. After all, promotion is just a status qualification, and there is no need to spend too much money on it.

Of course, judging whether a promoted person is qualified based on the type and quantity of hedron is indeed too arbitrary. However, if you look at the time before and after the promotion is enrolled, you can find the problem.

Among the seventy-three people, the longest time from membership to promotion was only four days, and the shortest was only eight minutes. In other words, as soon as that bastard filled out the application form for membership, and as soon as the computer text began to be uploaded, he couldn't wait to take out five yellow crystals from his pocket and asked to be promoted from one star to two stars.

That guy hasn't even hunted a dark creature, and he still has the face to call himself a dark hunter?

A photograph of the applicant is attached to the text. It was a young man with dark circles under his eyes, a thin face, and a smile that was more ugly than crying. At first glance, it is obvious that it is excessive alcohol color, and the waste of the body is sucked dry by the woman. This kind of garbage is not to say that it is a gun and a knife, even if it is thrown to a dark creature, the other party will feel that he is covered in syphilis gonorrhea, and he will be dirty after eating, and after he dies, it will cause pollution to the environment, and he will not even bother to kill it.

All right! Even if I am indeed old, even if the young people of today are very good at fighting, do they really dare to go deep into the dark realm to kill high-level dark creatures?

Since it's not, where did they get so many yellow spars?

This kind of thing is very rare in corpses, and only the kings of the corpse crowd will have it. Those little guys who have just reached adulthood and only have the strength of a first-order evolutionary person, I am afraid that when they see a corpse, they will cry and cry to go home to find their mother, do they have the courage to rush into the crowd of corpses and fight alone?

A group of corpses is not the same as a corpse. They always prey on the top, and even if a single soldier is extremely capable, he will be scrambled by hundreds of corpses. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it takes at least two weeks for a first star to be promoted to a second star. Even if you are lucky, it takes nine to ten days.

Today's young people are accustomed to stealing and playing tricks, and no one wants to do the thing of honestly killing corpses. The reason why he wanted to become a high-level dark hunter was entirely because of the attraction of the imperial military. According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of War: as long as they pass the basic test, a conscripted person with a high-ranking hunter can become a non-commissioned officer and may even be promoted directly to an officer.

Profit can spur people into madness, who only focus on the result but often ignore the process.

Gao Mo took a heavy breath and slowly spit it out. His face was full of anger, and he threw the thick stack of Wen Jiàn in front of him into the air, and a "paper rain" immediately fell in the room.

I don't know why, Gao Mo suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness. He relaxed his body and leaned back on the sofa, two fingers of his left hand supporting his slanted forehead, silently contemplating.

A few minutes later, Gao Mo pressed the pager on his wrist, and the door was quickly and silently pushed open from the outside, and a beautiful young woman walked in. She was dressed smartly, but her eyeshadow was thick and her eyelashes were long, and this special makeup color made her look very gloomy, full of murder, and chilling.

Gao Mo took out the pen from the breast pocket of his jacket, signed his name fluently on Su Hao's promotion form, put away the pen, handed the form to the woman who had just walked in front of him, and said lightly: "Take it, let the people below handle it according to the rules and regulations." ”

The woman took the form, and her cold gaze quickly swept over the messy papers on the ground, and she was slightly stunned.

As the personal assistant of the Vice President of the Dark Hunter Guild, she is well aware of Gao Mo's habits.

This old man is jealous and hateful, and his mood is stubborn, but he is not the kind of old-fashioned person who does not know how to be flexible at all. All the forms had undergone a primary check, and it was through her hands that they were forwarded to Gao Mo. Compared to Gao Mo, a high-level person at the top of the Dark Hunter Guild, the female assistant has much more time and opportunities to contact with the below. Of course, she understood that almost all of the promotions were unqualified, and she was well aware of the difference between yellow and white hedrons. However, humans are social animals, and since many people make up society, it is inevitable that there will be corners of filth and dirt. There are some things you can never put an end to, and you can't get rid of them on your own. Their existence is also helpful to the strength and normal operation of the guild. Therefore, despite knowing that not every promoted person possesses equal strength on paper, the Dark Hunter Guild still has a significant number of high-level hunters. They never accept assignments or participate in the day-to-day affairs of the Dark Hunter Guild, and simply wear the Hunter Badge as a display of their status.

This kind of thing is easy to understand. In peacetime on the earth, there are many cases where the staff of a certain unit never goes to work, but still occupies the quota of the establishment. This practice is obviously illegal, but as a unit leader, I will never sue you, those lazy people who never show up in the unit are actually the nephews, sons, granddaughters, mistresses of so-and-so, plus godmothers and godfathers, various relatives and roundabout relationships. If you want to sit in this seat for a long time, you must know how to take care of each other, and the other party will naturally take care of you. "Honest" is of course a very beautiful term, but a clean life means hard work. Hai Rui is an eternal moral pacesetter in officialdom, but that guy can't even afford a piece of meat for her mother's birthday, why should Lao Tzu be as poor as him? They also do not participate in the day-to-day affairs of the Dark Hunter Guild, and are purely wearing the Hunter badge as a display of status.
