"She is Yasha."
Levi recounted Yasha's story to Erin.
Initially, Erin showed no particular reaction, looking somewhat indifferent. However, when Levi mentioned that Yasha possessed the power to alter the mass of objects, her demeanor immediately became serious.
After hearing Levi's account, she said, "Very well, Levi, you've done the right thing. I'll take care of the rest."
Of course, Li Wei noticed the change in Elin's attitude. He didn't know why, but getting rid of a troublemaker was always a good thing.
He said, "Alright, I'll leave Yasha to you then. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
With that, he turned to leave.
Elin called out to him, "Wait, Li Wei. Stay here for a moment. I have something to tell you later."
"What is it? Can't it be said now?"
Elin waved her hand and said, "I need to settle this little girl you brought first."
"Alright."
Watching Elin take Yasha into a room, Li Wei could only sit by and wait.
About ten minutes later, Elin reappeared. She said to Li Wei, "There's something you might not know. In our Branch 17, every few years there is an opportunity for a hunter under our branch to go to the Hunter's Guild headquarters for training. How about it, would you be interested in going to the Hunter's Guild headquarters?""
Li Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Could you give me a detailed introduction about this training, what's it really about?"
"Of course, it's my duty," Erin took a sip of wine and began to explain the specific situation to Li Wei.
The training commissioned by the guild headquarters is aimed at cultivating elite hunters for the guild. Generally, the headquarters' training is held every three years, and each training lasts for half a year. Every training session is a grand ceremony for all hunters, especially young ones, and hunters from various hunter branches would compete fiercely for these spots.
The reason hunters scramble for the training spots is also very simple—it's all about resources.
In this era, if one wants to gain tremendous power and live better, it is necessary to continuously develop human potential.
But this is not an easy task. To stand at the summit, talent, effort, and resources - none of these three can be lacking. Even if you just want to climb a little higher, at least two out of these three must be present.
Leaving talent and effort aside for now, as these depend on individual qualities, resources are a very objective factor. Some hunters from wealthy families may not worry about this, but those from impoverished backgrounds who want to obtain sufficient resources for advancement have few options.
The most crucial thing among so-called resources is genetic fluid.
D-grade genetic fluid is manageable, but C-grade and higher grade genetic fluids are very difficult to obtain. C-grade hunting missions are actually commissions that only hunters who have completed extreme trials can handle.
To gain enough purchase quotas, one must continuously complete missions. But undertaking high-level hunting missions is risky, with a very high mortality rate.
Not everyone can be like Li Wei. Besides, even he, if he takes on another C-level commission, doesn't have the confidence to complete it.
Buying spots, purchasing gene liquids in the Hunter's Guild, the price is still reasonable. For example, C-level gene liquids can be purchased for only five purple crystals.
But if you don't have the opportunity to buy spots, going to the black market... it's not strange to see the price increased by ten or twenty times. How many hunters can afford it? Not to mention higher-level gene liquids like B-level and A-level, they are even more expensive and hard to buy with money!
After all, gene liquids are actually made from certain special parts of high-level supernatural creatures by hunting and killing them. Compared to the demand, the production is really too low.
However, if you participate in the elite hunter training class, gene liquids will be issued regularly. This is a great temptation for hunters who aim to further improve their strength.
At the same time, there will also be various skills taught in the training course, which is extremely valuable for ordinary hunters who lack heritage.
In other words, by participating in this training course, the half-year training period will comprehensively enhance the strength of an hunter.
According to the situation in previous years, 70-80% of hunters who graduate from the elite training course can successfully unlock their genetic flaws, becoming Grade B hunters. Even more, a considerable number of people can continue to explore within the genetic chains and eventually develop elements to become masters of elements.
In a word, this is a bright avenue.
In response, Li Wei feels quite tempted.
However, there is still some doubt in his heart: "Why do I get this spot?"
Erin said, "Previously, the mission to hunt down Konsdorf, also known as Zhang Xi, had been delayed for so long without being addressed, that I tied the training quota to this mission, hoping to motivate other hunters to complete the commission. There have been quite a few who have gone after Zhang Xi, but few have managed to return alive, let alone complete the task. Since you have resolved this commission for me, the spot will naturally be yours, and there won't be much for others to say about it."
"Alright." Li Wei nodded and said, "Since there's such a good opportunity, I certainly don't want to miss it."
"Mm." Erin's facial expression was very satisfied as she continued, "Good, join me downstairs later, while there are quite a few people at the tavern today, I'll announce this matter."
"Wait! Why announce it publicly?"
Li Wei felt an ominous premonition. Wasn't this drawing hatred towards him?
Erin smiled charmingly and said, "There's no negotiating on this matter. I've had this slot for three months, and there are too many people who want it. They've made me extremely annoyed. Announcing it publicly will also eliminate those people's thoughts."
Li Wei was a bit speechless. Her meaning was clear enough: if you want to get this slot, you have to endure the jealousy and hatred from other hunters in the branch.
However, while Erin was relieved, Li Wei was expected to encounter quite a few troubles.
Nevertheless, after weighing the pros and cons, it was still worth it.
In places like the Lower Districts, people could get into violent fights and even cause casualties for a little bit of profit, let alone this training slot, which could be considered invaluable.
Li Wei could not give up this rare opportunity just because there might be some troubles.
But despite being mentally prepared, Li Wei still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Eileen said, "Don't put on such a face, this is also a test for you. Once you get this spot, the news can't be kept a secret and will definitely be spread out. Anyway, it's inevitable to face it, instead of letting others make sneak attacks in secret, it's better to announce it openly. Just rush through any challenges directly."
"That's true." Li Wei sighed and said, "Alright, the sooner the better, let's go down now. I'm ready to face difficulties."
