Chapter 11: Hunter Badge!

"Damn it, is this fake?"

Guo Huzi's eyes were wide open, and the word "passed" on the assessment application form was like a slap in his face.

"Bullshit! Who dares to cheat in the hunter assessment?" Zhou Long grinned and stared at Guo Huzi and said, "The name signed on the application form is Elder Zhuang's. How dare you question the elder?"

From the discussion of these hunters, Luo Xiu learned that the white-robed old man who was responsible for assessing him just now was the elder of the Qingyun City Hunter Branch, Zhuang Nantian.

And this Zhuang Nantian is also a third-level formation master!

In the entire Qingyun City, there are no more than five formation masters who have reached the third level.

Jiang Shanshan was also stunned, especially when she just said that if this boy passed her, she would pursue him.

Seeing Luo Xiu staring at her with a smile, Jiang Shanshan's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Humph, little brother, let's talk about this matter when you grow up." She pouted, her red lips were very sexy, and she wanted to cheat a little.

"Haha, this guy must have done it on purpose. He's not that old, but he dares to flirt with the most beautiful girl in our Qingyun City Hunter Chapter. He has a future!"

"Hey, Guo Huzi, didn't you just say that if this little brother passes the test, you should twist your head off and let him kick it like a ball?"

"That's right, if you're a man, quickly twist your head off!"

More and more people in the hall followed suit.

At this time, Jiang Shanshan also took out a badge with two crossed swords and handed it to Luo Xiu, "Little brother, congratulations on becoming a hunter."

The badge is white. In addition to the logo of the Hunter Guild, there is also a star, which means that Luo Xiu is now a one-star hunter!

There are nine levels of hunters. One to three stars are primary hunters, four to six stars are intermediate hunters, and seven to nine stars are advanced hunters.

The higher the level of the hunter, the more benefits there will be, but in the Hunter Chapter of Qingyun City, only three-star hunter badges can be issued at most. Those with more than four stars must go to the county town of Yunlong County.

Guo Huzi's face was as black as an iron pot at this moment. Not only did he lose 1,000 taels of silver, but he was also laughed at by many of his peers, which made him feel humiliated.

Of course, it was impossible for him to really twist his head off. Others just laughed at him and didn't take it seriously.

"Pah!"

A purse was thrown in front of Luo Xiu. The tall and burly Zhou Long grinned and said, "Brother, this is 500 taels of silver. Guo Huzi just bet with me that you can't pass the test. The total bet is 1,000 taels. We will each take half."

Luo Xiu was slightly startled. 500 taels of silver was a huge sum of money for him. Zhou Long's bet with Guo Huzi had nothing to do with him. Logically speaking, Zhou Long had won the money, so there was no need to share it with him.

"Brother Zhou Long, this money is yours. I can't take it." Luo Xiu politely refused. He didn't like to accept benefits from others for no reason.

"If it weren't for you, little brother, I wouldn't have won this money. Don't refuse it, or you'll look down on me, Zhou Long."

In fact, for Zhou Long, money is a small matter. What really makes him happy is to make his old rival Guo Huzi lose face.

Luo Xiu smiled. Zhou Long had said so much, so he couldn't continue to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother Zhou." He thanked him and put away the money bag.

A boy under fourteen years old is still very conspicuous in the hunter hall. The average age of many hunters gathered here is over twenty-five years old.

Zhou Long insisted on inviting Luo Xiu to drink. He had never drunk alcohol since he was a child. He was almost dragged to a table in the hall.

Including Zhou Long and Luo Xiu, there were five people at this table. One was a thin man with a cold face, and the other two were twin sisters. They looked average, but had hot bodies. They wore tight martial arts uniforms and had curvy bodies.

"Come, little brother Luo Xiu, let me introduce you..."

After Zhou Long's introduction, Luo Xiu learned that the thin man with a cold face was called Guo Ang, and the twin sisters were called Ji Rouer and Ji Queer.

Including Zhou Long, the four of them were a hunter team. The captain Zhou Long was a warrior of the second level of Qi Hai Realm, Guo Ang was the ninth level of body refining, and the sisters Ji Rouer and Ji Queer were both the eighth level of body refining.

Not to mention the major states and counties of Tianwu Kingdom, the major empires of the whole world, hunters are the most common group of warriors, and teams like Zhou Long are the most common.

"Luo Xiu, I said before that if you can pass the assessment, I will let you join my team, how about it?" Zhou Long took a big sip of wine and said with a smile.

Half an hour ago, Luo Xiu came to apply for the hunter assessment. No one in the hall thought he could pass. Zhou Long also said a few words half-jokingly at the beginning, and he didn't think Luo Xiu had much chance of passing the assessment.

But the final result was beyond everyone's expectations. Luo Xiu actually passed the assessment, and even achieved the lowest standard of the fifth level of physical training, and obtained the one-star hunter badge!

Hunters generally attach great importance to credibility, so Zhou Long invited Luo Xiu to join his team, which was also a fulfillment of his promise.

There are many dangers in the deep mountains and swamps. The monsters are ferocious and powerful. Except for the extremely powerful martial arts masters, most hunters will go out hunting in teams.

Especially when facing some monsters that move in groups, the importance of the team will be more vividly reflected.

"Captain, this is not appropriate?"

Before Luo Xiu said anything, Guo Ang, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said.

"Although Luo Xiu passed the assessment, he is only at the fifth level of physical training after all. If he joins our team with such strength, it will drag us back."

This Guo Ang is second only to the captain Zhou Long in the team, and his words also carry some weight.

Zhou Long frowned, "How many people can pass the hunter assessment at the fifth level of physical training? Luo Xiu is only thirteen years old and has great potential. Maybe he will be stronger than me in the future. You have to have long-term plans."

Although Zhou Long said so, Guo Ang was still reluctant and said, "If those disciples from aristocratic families hired us to go to the mountains to train, it would be fine, but I don't agree to absorb a little guy at the fifth level of physical training as a team member."

"What's more, he doesn't even have a combat weapon. Is he going to fight monsters with his fists?" Guo Ang glanced at Luo Xiu with a hint of contempt.

It's not that he hasn't seen hunters as young as Luo Xiu. Most of them are young men and women from aristocratic families. Rookies like this may have high cultivation, but when they really go to the mountains to fight monsters head-on, their actual combat capabilities are far worse.

When Zhou Long and Guo Ang were arguing, Luo Xiu didn't say anything, because he had no intention of joining any team from the beginning.

"Brother Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Luo Xiu did not argue with Guo Ang. Although his cultivation was very low, he had his own methods and trump cards, and he could naturally find his own way to survive.

Before Guo Ang and Zhou Long could say anything, Luo Xiu had already stood up and strode towards the gate of the Hunter Guild.

"Guo Ang, even if you don't agree with him joining, your words are a bit too harsh?" Zhou Long glared at Guo Ang with some displeasure.

Guo Ang was not convinced and snorted coldly: "I did it for his own good. If I really take him out hunting, it will not only drag us down, but it will be better if he loses his life."

Most hunters actually disdain the so-called young geniuses, because no matter how fast you practice, as long as you have not experienced the baptism of life and death, you will never become a real master.

Many young people who claim to be geniuses are too arrogant. If they really go into the mountains to hunt, the mortality rate is very high.

Therefore, many disciples from aristocratic families would hire a hunter team to protect them when they go out for training. Zhou Long and his team have also taken on such tasks several times.

When he walked to the gate of the Hunter Guild, Luo Xiu looked back and saw Jiang Shanshan looking at him.

Jiang Shanshan was startled and lowered her head quickly, her cheeks flushed.

Luo Xiu just smiled at this and left the Hunter Guild.

When Jiang Shanshan looked up again, Luo Xiu's figure had disappeared.

"My cultivation will probably reach the sixth level of body refining in the next two or three days. I will go hunting after my cultivation breaks through."

Walking on the street, Luo Xiu secretly calculated in his heart, "Going out hunting is not a trivial matter. During this period, I also have to make some preparations."

While thinking, Luo Xiu came to the market in the north of the city. The first thing he saw was a store selling array devices.

In Qingyun City, in addition to the Hunter Guild, there are also array master guilds, alchemist guilds, and foundry guilds.

The formation master is one of the special professions among warriors. He uses the combination of properties between various materials to assist various secret techniques and lay out or create treasures with various magical powers.

For example, the spirit gathering formation is a formation that condenses the vitality of heaven and earth and speeds up the practice of warriors. It is also one of the most common basic formations.

According to the different effects of the formation, it is also divided into nine levels, corresponding to the level of formation masters from level one to level nine.

Formation masters are very popular among warriors. Many formation devices they make are very popular among warriors. There will also be major forces that specially hire powerful formation masters to lay out various large formations.

Therefore, many major forces will cultivate their own formation masters, but it is very difficult to cultivate high-level formation masters. Not only does it require the formation master to have extremely high talent, but inheritance is also an extremely important link.

At the same time, the formation master also has a strong combat ability. Some high-level formation masters have to bow down in front of them.

In addition to array masters, alchemists and foundry masters also have special status far beyond ordinary warriors. These three professions are also special groups in the world of martial arts practitioners.

"Damn! A first-level spirit gathering array costs 10,000 taels of silver?"

In this store, Luo Xiu saw a palm-sized white disc engraved with various rune patterns on the shelf, and his face changed instantly.

The first-level array corresponds to the level of martial artists' cultivation in the body refining realm, and this disc-like thing is the array device.

The first-level spirit gathering array can increase the training speed of martial artists in the body refining realm by three times, and only those disciples from aristocratic families can afford it.

Luo Xiu touched the purse hanging on his waist. Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money for him, so what about ten thousand taels of silver?
