A mouse climbed onto the brim of Grey Mouse's hat and let out a squeaky sound.
Grey Mouse touched the brim of his hat:
"Rookie, my little mouse has told that you've defeated Black Fist. In the past, Black Fist was a decent guy, but among the countless geniuses that erge from Witch Sea, he is just an average person."
Grey Mouse continued to speak:
"However, defeating him proves that you are up to standard. But being a Hunter is not a profession about fighting and killing; it's about adventure. Therefore, before awarding you a Hunter certificate, you need to complete one last 'simple' mission."
Grey Mouse placed emphasis on the word 'mission'.
One last 'simple' mission... Chen Qi looked around.
Before coming in, Tie Xiong had reminded him to heed Grey Mouse's words with respect.
To others, a 'simple' task from Grey Mouse might well be tantamount to taking a trip to hell.
anwhile, other people also turned their gazes towards Grey Mouse.
Grey Mouse looked at Chen Qi again, his lips curling into a faint smile:
"Rookie, I happen to have three decent commissions here. How about it? It's perfect timing since you're joining us and are short of one mission. Do you want to take one?"
Three commissions from Association Presidents... Chen Qi lightly tapped his belt around his waist.
Generally, commissions issued by Grey Mouse belong to high-difficulty missions within the Hunter Association.
His goal was only to get a Second-tier Hunter certificate, and after returning to the ship, he still needed to discuss with Fen about heading to the Blood Blade Pirate Group.
He couldn't agree to it lightly... Chen Qi politely responded:
"I fear my strength has not yet reached the point where I can take on missions at will. If it's sufficient, I will consider the commission."
The mont he finished speaking, a Third Rank Boxer said:
"Rookie, you can just refuse if you want. I've got a 'punching bag' task here. Black Mine City's boxing gym is holding practical training, and there's a rich lady..."
Punching bag? Rich lady? Chen Qi was shocked. Aren't there any normal tasks?
Chen Qi suddenly realized that many Second-tier Hunters were looking at him with envious eyes.
Helping a rich lady and a punching bag task seed like decent tasks?
Chen Qi swallowed, knowing he wouldn't take on such tasks unless it was a last resort.
And the next second, Grey Mouse interrupted the other:
"Boxer, stop it. Your tasks are just torturing the rookies. Rookie! Don't worry, they're all quite simple!"
"Alright, now it's almost ti. Today, I will update our commissions. These are the good commissions that I've gone to great pains to secure for you all, after running around Black Mine City."
Imdiately after, Grey Mouse casually tossed two commission papers onto the round table.
Chen Qi stepped forward with the crowd, to examine the two freshly issued commissions.
[Find clues about the great rchant Jin Li
Commissioner: Magic Bullet Company
Reward: Any weapon from Magic Bullet Company's new X-series (can be exchanged for a lower model), five hundred thousand Shell Coins
Deadline: 10 days
Note: A big shot wants to buy sothing from this great rchant, inform him of the area where the rchant has appeared.]
New X-series weapons... Chen Qi's eyes flickered.
These are regarded as extrely powerful firearms, usually only accessible through Hamr Phase related skills. As a mid-ga weapon, they are considered quite powerful.
The content is to look for Jin Li, the second-in-command of the Ice Witch Pirate Gang.
These Fourth Rank Legends, due to their occupational missions, constantly travel through Witch Sea.
But as Legends, the items they sell far exceed those of regular rchants.
The crowd began to discuss among themselves.
Then, Chen Qi looked at the second commission.
[Kill the criminal Shadows under Black Glove]
Commissioner: An anonymous rchant Experience more tales on empire
Deadline: 2 days
Description: The criminal Shadows under Black Glove saw sothing they should not have seen. They've been noticed visiting the Blood Blade Pirate Group's distillery. Kill them before they return to the hands of Black Glove.
Reward: A bottle of new, strength-boosting Potion, and a Qi Power-related Skill Card (can be exchanged for Shell Coins), five hundred thousand Shell Coins.]
Upon reading the two commissions, a Second-tier Hunter couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! Two more high-difficulty tasks! I'd rather be a gigolo!"
Chen Qi analyzed for a mont.
The first task, to locate Jin Li.
Though Jin Li is a mild-mannered rchant, she is also a Legend Transcendent,
and getting a clue about a Fourth Rank Legend is extrely difficult.
The second task, to kill the criminal Shadows...
Chen Qi stroked his chin in thought.
Criminal Shadows are special Transcendents cultivated by Black Glove. Although they possess the aura of a Second-order Transcendent, they are essentially monstrous creations of experintation, with inherently weak combat abilities.
The difficulty of the task lies in the fact that if things go wrong, one could potentially offend both Black Glove and Blood Blade Pirate Group!
Everyone shook their heads; both tasks were not easy.
Grey Mouse slumped back:
"Don't be so loud, the tasks are a bit difficult, but the rewards are good, aren't they?"
The highly respected Third Rank Boxer sighed:
"Grey Mouse, the Association doesn't have spare Third Ranks to complete these tasks right now. I suggest you inform the commissioners sooner rather than later that we can't take these two..."
For so big powers, failing to complete a commission could easily incur their wrath.
"Ah! Just give it a try, who knows? If Hunters only took on safe, manageable tasks, then they wouldn't be called Hunters, right?"
