The Death List Novel - Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Boot Task

Xiao Nan’s words were somewhat fragmented. However, Qin Lun had managed to sort out his meaning by relying on his powerful logical reasoning ability. He quickly fell into deep thought.

The migrant workers the two children spoke of were some of the residents of Meteor Street who had been hired by outsiders. Most of them possessed special abilities, mainly in terms of combat ability. The organizations that hire them are not only gangs, violent organizations, but even spy agencies in some countries.

However, compared to the eight million people on Meteor Street, the number of people employed on Meteor Street was only a small minority. Therefore, every time the gangs asked for employment from the Meteor Street Council of Patriarchs, Meteor Street would hold some informal selection.

The reason why such hiring is so popular is that violent organizations that employ migrant workers, in addition to paying them a sum of money, will also provide a considerable amount of living resources to the Meteor Street area or the violent corps where they are located.

In order for the entire Meteor Street to reap the benefits of foreign employment, most of these selections were spread across the various areas of Meteor Street. Geographical distribution of selection spots avoids allowing a small number of spots to be held by large violent groups. Xiao Nan’s region also had a few selection spots, and one of the violence groups led by Bone was allocated.

Of course, judging from the past years, the members of the Bone Guild were basically unable to make it out. There were no combat professions among them that possessed special talent, so participating was the bottom of the list. Moreover, it was easy to lose their lives, and they would often give up the selection directly.

After listening to Xiao Nan’s words, Qin Lun immediately realized that he had found the mission clues. His original deduction was somewhat wrong. His guidance mission was indeed in Meteor Street, but the main mission was not necessarily in Meteor Street.

Judging from the information he had received so far, the Broken Star Sky might have truly estimated his needs in the spacetime positioning ball. At the very least, Shattering the starry sky was seriously guiding him onto the path of a “hunter” in this world.

From the workers, they could infer that there should be quite a few people in Meteor Street who possessed high-level martial power. If they stayed in Meteor Street, they would likely come into contact with Hunters.

However, staying in Meteor Street was a false proposition. Although Qin Lun was ruthless and possessed the temperament of a Meteor Street resident, if he didn’t interfere in the plot of other missions, he would only be able to stay for a month. It would be very difficult for him to come into contact with the high-level martial power of Meteor Street.

This meant that Qin Lun had to constantly provoke battles in Meteor Street. Moreover, because Meteor Street itself was filled with violent disputes, the battles he had provoked could not be small battles. Instead, they had to be large-scale weapons battles until they attracted the attention of experts.

For example, he would first swallow up a small violent group, then slowly change from a small fish to a big fish, from a big fish to a shark. When the violent group he controlled grew to a certain level, it naturally attracted some curious experts.

This approach is too slow and risky. Of course, there were benefits as well. Qin Lun could slowly comprehend the world of hunters’ martial system from his increasingly powerful opponents from low to high.

However, judging from the arrangement of the Shattered Star System, this route was a side road. In other words, the Shattered Star System did not approve of him taking this route.

As soon as Qin Lun appeared, he came into contact with Little Nan and Little Ya. Then, he came into contact with a small violent group led by bones. This meant that the Broken Star Sky was guiding him to become a worker on Meteor Street.

In other words, the residents of Meteor Street were the official identities given to him by the Broken Starry Sky. However, the main mission was not in Meteor Street. Rather, it required him to walk out of Meteor Street before he could officially begin.

Of course, he could also take an unusual path and carry out the side mission of annexing the Violent Corps by force in Meteor Street. In comparison, it was thankless to do so, which was contrary to his original intention of entering the world of hunters.

Due to the lack of information, Qin Lun was still unsure why the Broken Star System had labeled him as Meteor Street. However, judging from the two paths before him, it was obvious how to choose.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun’s gaze landed on Xiao Nan and the other two. If he wanted to see Bone and the others again, he would probably need the guidance of the two little fellows.

…

“You want to represent us in the selection of the gangsters?”

Bones sat upright on the wooden box in the warehouse, his broken left arm clamped onto the wooden board. His face was still somewhat pale as he tilted his head and stared at Qin Lun and Xiao Nan. Since Little Nan and Little Ya had already left this violent group, Little Nan did not let Little Ya follow him for the sake of safety.

“Well, it’s useless for you to keep the selection quota anyway. Why don’t you leave it to me? If I become a mercenary of the gang, the living resources they have to pay will all belong to you. What do you think?” Qin Lun said with a smile.

“Boss” A thick cloth band was also wrapped around his shoulder, and he was looking at the bones excitedly.

He had personally experienced Qin Lun’s strength, and he felt that the young man indeed had a certain amount of hope. If Qin Lun really gave them all the resources that the gang had given them, then their grudges with the youth could be completely ignored.

This was not only the idea of a one-armed person, but also the idea of all the members of the Violent Corps in the warehouse. Although they were known as a violent group, these people had been living below the subsistence level for many years. They often had to pay the price of their lives for a piece of bread and a piece of bacon. They could not refuse Qin Lun’s suggestion.

Bone could feel the burning eyes of his subordinates and sighed in his heart. No matter what purpose Qin Lun had, he had to agree to it. Moreover, there was no room for negotiation. They weren’t the only small violent groups in this region that had been selected.

“With your strength, you can walk out of Meteor Street on your own even if you aren’t hired by the gangs. Why do you have to participate in the selection?” Bone stared at Qin Lun and said word by word.

Meteor Street was filled with rubbish mountains. After many years, the surrounding area was filled with poisonous dust and storms that ordinary people could not overcome. Apart from some powerful experts, the ordinary residents of Meteor Street were unable to break through this heavenly chasm.

This was also the main reason why the continent of Urubian was able to isolate Meteor Street, which was officially claimed to be a no man’s land.

“That would take too long. What I lack the most is time.” Qin Lun shrugged and told the truth.

“Is it for Little Nan and Little Ya?” Bone didn’t believe Qin Lun’s explanation at all. His gaze fell on the skinny Xiao Nan, and his heart couldn’t help but move.

In addition to being able to walk out of Meteor Street and obtain important living resources, becoming a mercenary for gangs and other state agencies also had a very attractive discount, which was to be able to take away two “family members” by relying on a special “immigration clause”.

Of course, the “families” of these two mercenaries also needed to meet certain conditions. First, they should not be older than ten years old, and second, their bodies should not be incomplete or infectious.

Young people can also set up the correct three views, into the normal society. There was no disability or infectious disease, so it was easier to find an adoptive family. Little Nan and Little Ya coincidentally met these two people. No wonder there was a misunderstanding between them.

Qin Lun smiled and didn’t continue explaining. After obtaining the qualifications to be a mercenary, it was not impossible to bring Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya out of Meteor Street.

After the Atlantis massacre, his mentality had changed. Although he was still cold and heartless, he didn’t mind extending a hand to help those who were pleasing to the eye. Little Nan and Little Ya belonged to the “pleasing to the eye” part.

“Alright, I’ll bring you there.” Bones jumped down from the wooden box and looked at his companions. “One-armed, when I take him to the’market ‘, you will be responsible for distributing food to everyone …”

Qin Lun did not pay attention to Bone’s instructions to his companions. His attention was drawn to the list of dead people because he had finally started the guidance mission while Bone was compromising.

“Apostle 70053, you have obtained the approval of the Meteor Street Local Violence Group. You have triggered the Guidance Mission to open this world, ‘Walk Out of Meteor Street’.”

[Walk out of Meteor Street (Second Lieutenant): Mission objective: Walk out of Meteor Street in three days.]

[Mission Tip: There are two ways to get out of Meteor Street in three days. One is to participate in the Meteor Street mercenary selection for violent organizations. The other is to obtain the qualifications for the Hunter Examination offered by the Meteor Street Senate.]

[Tip: After walking out of Meteor Street, the apostle will receive information about the main mission. According to the mission content, it is possible to update the duration of stay!]

[Guidance mission reward: 5000 broken crystals, 200 exchange vouchers, 5 contribution points. Mission failure: 40 longevity soul points deducted, has a chance to reduce mission evaluation.] [Guidance mission reward: 5000 broken crystals, 200 exchange vouchers, 5 contribution points]

“Hunter exam qualification?!” Qin Lun’s pupils shrank as he fell into deep thought.

“The location of the mercenary selection is more than 30 kilometers away from here. We need to set off immediately. As for Little Nan and Little Ya, they will stay here and take care of the two little fellows with one arm.” Bone had already instructed the other members of the Violence Corps. A stiff smile squeezed out from his skeletal face. “Don’t worry, they will be fine until we return.”

Qin Lun nodded and followed Bone out of the small warehouse where the violent group was staying. The Bone Violence Corps had no means of transportation and could only walk on two legs to the mercenary selection grounds.

In fact, even in the entire Meteor Street, there weren’t many decent means of transportation. Although there was no shortage of scrap cars and metal instruments in the rubbish mountain, Meteor Street did not produce energy. Even if they were given a new car, there would be no gasoline.

“What is the form of mercenary selection? Is it only a test of combat ability?” After the two of them walked a distance, Qin Lun took the initiative to ask.

“I don’t know.” Bone hesitated for a moment and said honestly, “I’ve never participated in a mercenary selection. I’ve heard from some people that there are many forms of selection. Some of them seem to be just a formality. There’s no need to catch a fight. It’s entirely up to the specialists sent by the mafia.”

“Oh!” Qin Lun nodded noncommittally and pretended not to care, “Do you violent groups have the qualifications for the Hunter Examination offered by the Council of Patriarchs?”
