He was already on his way out of the Middle East, completely unconcerned with what would happen to Tony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system's judgment worked like this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it would check whether the mission issuer had the funds to pay the bounty. If they didn't, the mission would be deemed invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, after the mission was completed, aside from the issuer voluntarily paying the reward, if too much time passed, the system would deduct it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, if the issuer had other intentions, like refusing to pay the bounty, the system would automatically issue a mission ordering the Bounty Hunter to hunt down the issuer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the system provided strong protection for Hunters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking through the desert, Blaine's blood was still boiling because the experience was truly exhilarating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First time killing someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First time getting shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First time getting hit by a rocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many firsts to count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this mission was awesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget about the ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't this basically a system loophole?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine was feeling incredibly happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, if he encountered missions where he needed to kill someone, he could just let the target pay him a higher price to call it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't that just the best?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making money was so easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Blaine felt that money was ridiculously easy to earn — he casually found a loophole, and with it, who knew how much he could rake in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stupid system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't expect me to find this loophole, did you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine felt like singing at the top of his lungs: \"We common folks are so happy today~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering a loophole.

Now the system had completely sealed the loophole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System: You think I'd leave such a big loophole for you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not happening, kid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, well, it's sealed now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Blaine thought of something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly asked, \"System, does Tony's mission still count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The missions completed before the loophole was sealed naturally still counts.] the system's cold voice sounded unbelievably beautiful to Blaine at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine let out a huge sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank goodness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the loophole was sealed, he had already scored big from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full fifty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a loss, not a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine kept trying to hypnotize himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who was he kidding? It was a massive loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge loss!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way to successfully hypnotize himself. Blaine's heart ached. With this loophole, he could have easily earned a hundred million, five hundred million, even a billion over time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now? Just fifty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and unwillingly asked, \"System, in online games, when players report a UG (unauthorized glitch) to the developers, they usually get rewards. How about you? Are you going to give me something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system probably thought for a moment, then said, [For discovering a major loophole, the Hunter is awarded 50,000 in funds and 1 point of constitution.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually managed to get something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaine's eyes lit up: \"System, you're awesome! I love you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 50,000 would be extremely useful before Tony's bounty was officially credited, and as for the 1 point of constitution, in the system, one constitution point normally cost 20,000 — and the price increased as the Hunter's constitution got higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these two rewards were nothing compared to the potential profits the loophole could have brought, at least it was some compensation. Getting anything at all was already a win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling cheerful, Blaine also secretly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really had racked his brain to squeeze some benefits from the dumb system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, compared to the high-profile Bounty Hunter who had just faced Tony, Blaine was more like a haggling aunt in a marketplace arguing with a butcher over a few pennies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But actually, he had exploited another loophole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In online games, reporting a UG to the developers would indeed get a reward — but only if you reported it first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you tried to secretly profit from it without reporting, the developers weren't idiots — there would be no reward, and you might even get harshly punished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The naive system was still no match for Blaine, a seasoned internet veteran with over ten years of online experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*************************************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can get access to early chapters on patr*on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like my work and you want to support me then you can become my patron on patre*n.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My patr*on account is Lord_Immortal_0170\u003C\u002Fp>",820,"2026-06-06T09:11:28.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","ebcaa66dc8ef802df851593eed07c0019c6a28c9027db519c3bc205fc1542553","marvel-hunter-chapter-18","marvel-hunter-chapter-16",411,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-hunter-cover.jpg"]
