Back at the Hunter's Guild, the instructor registered Yan Luo and Li Xinyue as Hunters, making them official Hunters.
After this, the instructor will upload their exam results to the guild's internal community network and try to persuade teams suitable for them to join.
Being an instructor is a tough job, but on the flip side, it offers relatively flexible working hours and a generous salary.
Generally, when Hunters retire or need a period of recuperation, if they don't want to indulge in leisure activities, they can become instructors.
"You can call my account if you need anything." The instructor pointed at the business card floating beside him, "My account and name are the same, both Phil Smith."
Phil Smith is a typical Caucasian, with deep-set eyes and well-defined facial features. In fact, he's from the Western Domain.
Nowadays, Blue Star's land is divided into 'Five Domains', East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania as the Eastern Domain; Central Asia and South Asia as the Central Domain; Africa as the Southern Domain; Europe and North Asia as the Northern Domain; and North and South America as the Western Domain.
Five Domains, two poles, and Four Oceans are the current geographical divisions of Blue Star.
Due to the presence of mutated animals in the wild, travel between cities is difficult, let alone between domains.
Typically, the main method to travel to other domains is through the Abyss.
The Abyss doesn't just open entrance and exit in one place; almost every Abyss randomly connects several places globally, bringing these locations closer in space and distance.
The exploration town where Yan Luo and the others are currently located is called 'Crimson No.2', it's the second exploration town outside the Crimson Abyss. In fact, the first exploration town, known as 'Crimson No.1', is located in the northern part of the Western Domain.
Through the Crimson Abyss, people can travel between the Eastern Domain and the Western Domain.
Through the Abyss, people can travel globally in a short period.
This is also one of the reasons why there are always people blocking the eradication of the Abyss.
"Alright, Mr. Smith."
Li Xinyue and Yan Luo nodded one after the other.
Chinese is the official common language for Hunters because it can succinctly and clearly describe the characteristics of Demons. Even if someone hasn't seen them, they can understand the characteristics of the Demon from the name, and it's also relatively simple and convenient to name new Demons. Other languages can't do this.
So, communication is generally smooth among Hunters across the Five Domains.
After officially gaining Hunter status, it was getting late; Yan Luo bid farewell to Phil, rode his motorcycle, and headed toward his 'home' in Crimson No.2.
The font color of his name on his personal card changed from white to red, and Yan Luo couldn't help but take another look.
After returning home, the first thing Yan Luo did wasn't dinner but changing the description on his personal card.
——[2115, officially became a Hunter]!
Not long after he finished changing his description, Wang Lingyu sent a message: [Congratulations! I didn't expect you to become an official Hunter so quickly. You should be the first in our class to have a formal job. Can you tell me how you feel now? Any thoughts?]
Yan Luo thought for a while, then replied, "Very calm."
To him, this was as expected; not worth getting excited over.
[Really~?]
"Of course~!"
After sending the message, Yan Luo couldn't help but laugh.
A little while later, Wang Lingyu sent another message: [I'm about to take my college entrance exam in two days; can you wish me to get into the university I want? Let me have some of your good luck, please (Ω_Ω)!]
"Alright, alright, let you have it, let you have it!"
[Thank you n(*≧▽≦*)n! I will do my best on the exam and strive to get into a good university! \(^ω^)/!]
After finishing the chat with Wang Lingyu, Yan Luo finally had time to lay down his arms.
Hanging the exoskeleton on the rack, Yan Luo stretched lazily.
The busy day was finally over; in the next few days, he could take a break and find a team to join.
After all, he was still unfamiliar with the Abyss, so he could first join a team. After adjusting to hunting in the Abyss, he could then consider whether to continue acting with other Hunters or become a lone Hunter.
As for now, let's rest first!
......
The next day.
Leaving his equipment at home and carrying just a hand axe, Yan Luo lightly headed to the Hunter's Guild.
Crimson No.2 should be very safe in theory; he didn't need to bring weapons, but carrying weapons is a 'virtue' of Hunters.
Ten years ago, the demonic tide was nearly catastrophic for Crimson No.2 because Hunters dropped their guard.
The first floor of the Hunter's Guild is the public business hall. Although many services can be handled online, physical transactions can't.
The second floor is a free gym, and the third floor is where Hunters relax and gather.
Upon entering the third floor, Yan Luo saw more than 100 people with tired faces sitting in the brightly lit hall.
At this moment, besides Yan Luo, everyone present had stayed up all night.
The third floor of the Hunter's Guild serves as a place for Hunters to gather and exchange information during the day and transforms into a nightclub at night.
As Yan Luo arrived, more than ten robots were cleaning the environment on the third floor. They disposed of the numerous bottles and cans on the tables and floor, used air fresheners to eliminate the lingering stench in the air, and quickly wiped clean the surfaces and floors.
The passed-out Hunters were moved by service robots to temporary rest rooms, and those heavily intoxicated received a bowl of sobering soup.
Two Hunters were gazing at the elevator, noticing a young man emerging they hadn't seen before as one elevator door opened.
"Newcomer?"
One of the Hunters, drunken beyond help, saw Yan Luo, the newcomer, and began slapping the table, shouting, "Newcomer, come over and pour wine for the seniors. If you don't come... Hic, do you expect me to pour it myself?"
Yan Luo swept his gaze across and shifted his pace toward him.
The drunken Hunter randomly grabbed a wine glass, ready to receive the drink.
Yan Luo raised his hand, grabbed his head, and slammed it onto the table.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Three times, and Yan Luo then yanked the Hunter's hair, throwing him to the ground.
"Awake now?"
The people around didn't know what had happened, but whenever a fight broke out, they were thrilled, clapping and cheering immediately.
"Good! Hit him good!"
"Jin Taiwen, don't wimp out, get up and get him!"
"Haha, this newcomer packs a punch!"
Some whistled, others slapped the table; sleepiness vanished instantly.
"Damn you..."
Jin Taiwen shook his head, pushing his body up, lifting his bloodshot eyes to Yan Luo.
Yan Luo was unafraid, calmly meeting his gaze.
His demeanor attracted many Hunters, who immediately searched Yan Luo's information, then gasped.
"This boy aced the written test, scored perfectly on the practical exam, opted for free hunting in the combat test, and even passed flawlessly!"
The exclaimed words from afar stung Jin Taiwen's ears, causing him to grind his teeth involuntarily.
Jin Taiwen has always hated this type of genius; he'd been content in his hometown but had to leave due to trouble with a newly-initiated genius, leading him to Crimson No.2.
Luckily, the rules at Crimson No.2 differed from his hometown's, favoring reason over background.
Thus, Jin Taiwen wobbled upright, chuckled twice, wiped the blood from his nose, "Kid, it's my bad for bossing you around, but you slamming my head three times is a bit much. Here's your chance, kneel down and apologize, or I'll beat the crap out of you!"
Will Yan Luo apologize?
Of course not!
Yan Luo stepped back, posed a fighting stance, and beckoned Jin Taiwen forward.
Seeing this, Jin Taiwen quickly grew furious.
The cheers and whistles became extremely harsh in his ears, making him feel his seniority severely challenged.
Jin Taiwen activated his Engraving, lunging at Yan Luo.
Li Xinyue was worried about presenting herself well in front of the seniors and remained anxious upon entering the Hunter's Guild. Upon reaching the third floor with the elevator and the doors opening, she immediately saw Yan Luo engaging in a fight with a Hunter.
The other Hunters present weren't stopping or showing displeasure; instead, they were applauding and cheering, whistling in excitement.
What is this?
