The Death List Novel - Chapter 297

Chapter 297 Arrival

‘”The qualifications for the Hunter’s Examination?” Oh, that … “A trace of realization appeared on his skeletal face, and he quickly remembered something. What surprised Qin Lun was that in his heart, it should be a very important clue, but it was not worth mentioning to the bones.

Although Bone was just an ordinary person, as the leader of a small violent gang, he did not know nothing about hunters like Little Nan and Little Ya. Many of the violent gangs in Meteor Street knew about the hunter exam.

Every year, the Board of Patriarchs of Meteor Street would organize some people to participate in the Hunter’s Association’s licensing examination. They would even offer “tickets” to the residents of Meteor Street who wanted to become hunters, providing them with transportation to leave Meteor Street and head to the Hunter Association exam site.

The so-called “tickets” were actually tickets for an airship. The airship was also one of the few vehicles that could leave Meteor Street directly. There were only a few ships in the entire Meteor Street. Every year, the fuel and maintenance costs would take up a lot of living resources.

Because it is a precious resource, airships are normally only used for emergency and disaster relief and special events. For example: transporting members of Meteor Street to the hunter exam site.

The Council of Elders adopted the simplest way to distribute the tickets. The airship on Meteor Street could carry around 30 people apart from the necessary crew. The Board of Patriarchs directly issued the “tickets” on a first-come, first-served basis until they were finished.

However, no one objected to this simple and brutal approach. The reason was simple, because the place where the tickets were issued was at the heart of Meteor Street, while the place where the boats were boarded was at the periphery of Meteor Street, where the poisonous dust was thickest.

At the same time, the name and identity are not registered on the “ticket”. In other words, on the way to the airship, anyone else who does not have a “ticket” can obtain a “ticket” by attacking someone who has a “ticket”.

Simple, rough and absolutely fair, it suits the appetite of the residents of Meteor Street very well.

Even the large-scale violence groups only had a small number of people who could enter the periphery of Meteor Street, which was filled with poisonous sand and dust. Even if they were to gather together, they would still be a minority in the face of numerous assailants who did not have “tickets”. Moreover, the more they gathered together, the more “tickets” they had, and the easier it was to attract more attackers.

As a result, the residents of Meteor Street who were able to board the ship every year to participate in the Hunter’s Examination were often true experts.

However, there was only one thing that made the Elders of Meteor Street feel extremely helpless, and that was that some of the experts who had boarded airships only wanted to leave Meteor Street, not participate in the Hunter’s Examination.

“Speaking of which, I remember that this year’s airship should take off tomorrow afternoon.” Bone glanced at Qin Lun and said intentionally or unintentionally, “The area we are in and the location of the airship only seem to be half a day away.”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. Through this explanation of his bones, he finally understood all the storyline guidance given to him by the Broken Star System.

The first was the secret side-line selection, the violent group that swallowed the bones, and then it quickly spread to the surrounding forces, gradually understanding the world of hunters’ martial system through constant battles. Judging from Bone and the others’ battle prowess, Qin Lun wouldn’t encounter any difficult obstacles in the middle and early stages.

The disadvantage was that Qin Lun only stayed for a month, and his range of activities was basically locked in Meteor Street, so it was unlikely that he would run to the outside world of Meteor Street. This was hard to accept, not only for the Broken Star System, but also for Qin Lun himself.

Even if there were some hidden plots in Meteor Street, it was still only a small corner of this world, and there were very few worlds to explore and the source of the world. As for Qin Lun himself, he was so curious that it was hard to imagine that he would give up exploring the entire world for the sake of a Meteor Street.

However, Qin Lun still had not figured it out on this branch line.

In his opinion, it was extremely dangerous to rashly launch a violent merger. There should be a high-level force from Meteor Street to stop him. Judging from the difficulty of the world, although the area was very small, the Meteor Street, which was rich in thugs, might have a “hunter” equivalent to a third-grade high-level apostle.

However, judging from the mission prompt he had received so far, Qin Lun had come to an inconceivable conclusion. That was to say, in the calculation of the shattered starry sky, this branch line was the easiest choice.

In fact, due to the lack of intelligence, Qin Lun didn’t know enough about Meteor Street. Meteor Street has indeed produced many experts. The key problem is that unless Meteor Street is in a major state, these experts may not return to Star Street once every few years. Most of them are scattered all over the world.

Even if there were experts who happened to be staying in Meteor Street, they were also concerned about the merger of the violent gangs. The biggest possibility was that they had developed a certain degree of interest in Qin Lun, or even admiration, instead of stopping him.

Meteor Street was too poor. As long as they could get out, no one was willing to stay here forever. In a place like this, even if they organized a large violent group, what could they do? A leader of a violent group like Bone was, to a certain extent, a babysitter who had to worry about the food and clothing of his members every day.

In the eyes of those experts, since Qin Lun wanted to merge into a large violent group, then let him merge. As for those who died in battle … The number of people who starved to death in Meteor Street every year was far more than those who died in battle. If he cared about them, he might as well encourage Qin Lun to merge the Violent Corps a little bigger, so that more people could eat their fill.

This was Meteor Street, a place where death was easier than survival. Resources were scarce to the point where even power and corruption could not breed!

Ignoring this branch line that Shattered Star and Qin Lun had ignored, the other two official storyline guides from Shattered Star were Hunter Examination and Mercenary Selection.

Based on the current intelligence analysis, Qin Lun believed that the Broken Star System also divided the difficulty of the quests between the two plot guides, and the difficulty of the Hunter’s Examination was less than the difficulty of the Mercenary Selection.

This was not to say that seizing the “tickets” was less difficult than mercenary selection. On the contrary, this world was a world of full-time hunters. Becoming a free “hunter” was clearly much more promising than becoming a mercenary of the mafia.

As a result, Meteor Street thugs competing for tickets were naturally stronger than those competing in the mercenary selection.

Qin Lun believed that the historical storyline of Hunter’s Examination was less difficult than that of Mercenary Selection, which was the main storyline after the guide mission.

Although he still didn’t know the main content of the two plot lines, he didn’t know how long the Hunter’s Examination would last. However, the Hunter’s Examination was clearly the best opportunity for him to understand the world’s hunter martial system step by step.

Since that was the case, the main mission given by the Shattered Universe would naturally not be too complicated. It was like a straight path of sunshine. Even if the road was a bit dangerous, the end point was quite obvious.

As for the other plot line, participating in the mercenary selection was different. Although the opponents he faced in the selection were a bit weaker, they would eventually make him a mercenary, or a hitman, of the mafia.

The time when the Broken Star Sky had thrown Qin Lun into this world must have been carefully chosen. This also meant that once the youth became a gangster mercenary, he would definitely come into contact with a large-scale historical storyline within a month of his stay.

With his dual identity as a Meteor Street and a gang mob, it wasn’t hard to speculate that there would definitely be a large number of experts participating in this large-scale plot. Perhaps he would directly encounter a high-level Hunter, so the danger and difficulty of the quest would naturally far exceed the Sunshine Avenue of the Hunter Examination.

Of course, in addition to these two deductions, there is another less probable deduction. That was, the two plot lines would have a certain connection. After completing one of the mission plots, they could participate in another mission plot.

For example, after taking the Hunter Examination, becoming a bodyguard hunter or a bounty hunter, and then participating in a gang drama.

However, this deduction only lasted for a moment before disappearing from Qin Lun’s mind. The reason was also simple. Qin Lun’s stay was very short, and he was a person who liked to think and layout.

Even if he had time to participate in another historical storyline after taking the Hunter’s Examination, he was destined to not be able to obtain much information and clues. It was not his style to rashly participate in an unknown mission plot.

Qin Lun looked at the dim sky and casually asked, “Oh right, if I disappeared one day, would Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya, who were fostered in the outside world, be retaliated by the gangs?”

“No, the gang is very thorough on this point. Even if you revoke the employment contract as soon as you leave Meteor Street, the gang will help Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya find an adoptive family.” “However, gangs are very good at hooking up with people, and the treatment they offer is not bad. The mercenaries on Meteor Street usually complete their first employment contract. As for the future, it will depend on your own intentions,” Bone said with a faint smile.

“Let’s go. We need to move faster. It’s going to be dark soon.” Qin Lun nodded and quickened his pace.

…

“Alright, we’re here.” Bone’s breathing was a little short as he pointed at a brightly lit building at the foot of the hillside.

Even in the heart of Meteor Street, the air is not optimistic. As it was dusk, the light became even dimmer, making the brightly lit building even more eye-catching.

However, this ordinary villa gave Qin Lun an extremely awkward feeling. The young man did not know where this feeling came from, but just standing on a hillside several hundred meters away from it, he had this feeling for no reason.

“This is for you. It’s proof of your participation in the selection.” Bone took out a bronze badge from his bosom and handed it to Qin Lun. He smiled bitterly and said, “I can only send you here. The rest is up to you. If you pass the selection, someone will inform us and the gang will immediately start to fulfill their promise.”

Qin Lun silently took the badge and frowned as he looked into the distance, ignoring what Bone was saying, as if the villa had an unparalleled attraction to him. When he regained his senses and wanted to ask the bone something, he suddenly realized that the bone had long since left him, and his figure was no longer visible in the darkness.
