Chapter 879: Go and scout first

~7 min read 1,373 words

"Bounty missions?" Xu Tian asked again, "Where should I go to accept them?"

"There is a bulletin board in the villa specifically for posting missions." The mentor glanced at his watch, turned, and walked outside, instructing Xu Tian as he walked. "I still have to go to the examination hall to see. You tidy up your luggage first. If you don't understand anything, you can come to the big office to find me."

After saying that, he had already walked out of the room.

After the mentor left, Xu Tian didn't tidy up his luggage, but walked out of the dormitory area directly.

Students in the villa basically wear uniforms, but the style of the uniform is divided according to grade.

Xu Tian is the lowest-grade bounty hunter, and the uniform is an ordinary white, with blue edges on the cuffs.

The third-grade uniform is dark blue, looking very much like a samurai uniform from Y country.

The second-grade bounty hunter uniform is green, the first-grade is red, and the special-grade is black with gold edges.

Among these uniforms, the special-grade uniform is the most imposing, with handmade embroidery patterns on it.

However, because there are very few special-grade bounty hunters, Xu Tian didn't see anyone wearing a black uniform for the time being.

He followed the road signs and found the bulletin board used for posting various bounty missions. This place is different from other areas, and it is always crowded no matter when.

Most of them are third-grade and fourth-grade bounty hunters, while there are very few above the third grade.

Xu Tian hadn't changed his uniform yet, so he stood outside the crowd and looked inside.

"Are you a new student?"

A crisp and pleasant voice sounded behind Xu Tian. He turned his head and saw a long-haired girl with a slender figure and exquisite curves looking at him with a smile.

The girl was wearing a dark blue uniform and was a third-grade bounty hunter.

"Hmm." Xu Tian nodded and smiled friendly at the other party.

"Then I am your senior." The girl extended her hand to Xu Tian generously. "Hello, my name is Yao Xuefei, currently a third-grade bounty hunter."

"The location we are in now is the bulletin area. The missions posted here range from special-grade to fourth-grade. Fourth-grade missions match your current grade and will be easier to complete."

"And missions above the fourth grade, although the experience points are high, the danger coefficient is also very high. If you are not careful, you will even be seriously injured or even die."

"Junior, if you want to accept missions, it is still more stable to start from fourth-grade missions."

Before Xu Tian could ask, Yao Xuefei introduced him enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Senior." Xu Tian nodded to the other party again to express his gratitude.

This girl didn't judge people by their appearance, but instead introduced him patiently, which was in sharp contrast to the monsters he had encountered along the way.

"Then Junior, you look at the missions on this." Yao Xuefei said.

Xu Tian looked toward the bulletin board upon hearing this. There were really quite a few missions on it.

From top to bottom, it was also in order from high to low.

Special-first grade: Destroy the Azure Wolf Hall, experience points 50,000.

Special grade: Escort a batch of top-grade South Sea pearls. You need to pass through the Thorn territory on the way and may be intercepted. Experience points 20,000.

First grade: Go to Huaxia to kill the traitor who betrayed the Bounty Hunter Association. Experience points 10,000.

Second grade: Find evidence of the Zhang family head's wife having an affair. Experience points 5,000.

Special grade: Get the diamond earrings of Queen Yue. Experience points 15,000.

Special grade: Get a strand of hair from the Thorn Emperor. Experience points 30,000.

Xu Tian looked at those extremely unreliable missions and suddenly had a brand-new understanding of the bounty hunter profession.

Stealing Yue Moli's diamond earrings, getting the Thorn Emperor's long hair—what kind of messy missions were these?

And these were actually special-grade missions with extremely high experience points. For him, there was absolutely no difficulty at all.

However, Xu Tian was also very curious about who wanted the Thorn Emperor's hair. Could it really be a pervert with a fetish?

Most of the ones above were high-level missions, so Xu Tian continued to look down.

First grade: Compete in martial arts with Zhong Yu of the Azure Wolf Hall, must win, and record a video as evidence.

First grade: Compete in martial arts with Zhong Ling of the Azure Wolf Hall, must win, and record a video as evidence.

First grade: Compete in martial arts with the elite of the Azure Wolf Hall, must win...

First grade: Steal a treasure from the Azure Wolf Hall warehouse.

Special grade: Beat up a certain elder of the Azure Wolf Hall.

Xu Tian:...

These missions were truly too dangerous.

"Little Junior, why have you been looking at high-level missions?" Yao Xuefei saw Xu Tian had been looking at the upper part of the bulletin board and kindly reminded him, "You wouldn't be wanting to do those dangerous missions, would you?"

"A bit interested." Xu Tian replied vaguely.

Their conversation reached the ears of other bounty hunters around, and everyone mocked Xu Tian for overestimating his capabilities.

A fourth-grade bounty hunter who had just enrolled actually said he was interested in first-grade, or even special-grade missions.

They had seen people who didn't fear death, but they had never seen anyone rushing to find it.

A Level 1 bounty mission, even if taken on by a Level 1 bounty hunter, could not necessarily be completed smoothly.

As for Special and Special Level 1 missions, even if an entire bounty hunter squad was dispatched, the success rate only increased from ten percent to forty percent; no one dared to guarantee they could definitely complete them.

This is because most bounty missions cannot be completed just by having high martial arts talent; they also test a bounty hunter's insight and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Wanting to complete Special or Special Level 1 missions single-handedly is almost a fantasy.

"Little brother, I advise you to start with lower-level bounty missions. You don't understand the difficulty of missions above Level 1. If you take them on rashly, you're just looking for death."

A woman with heavy makeup and a hot figure standing nearby spoke with a cold sneer.

Xu Tian just nodded slightly at the woman and didn't say anything more.

Although the woman's words were unpleasant, he was, after all, just a newcomer who had just enrolled, so her reminding him could be considered good intentions.

Xu Tian continued to look down the bulletin board. The Level 1 missions below were indeed very dangerous and also quite despicable. It was impossible for him to take them.

For example, shaving Zhong Yu's head bald must have been a bounty issued by some woman who had a conflict with her, or perhaps a cowardly man who failed to pursue her and became angry out of shame.

Of course, there were also some missions to assassinate certain gang bosses; those missions were about the same as throwing his life away for him.

But sparring with Zhong Ling and Zhong Yu, challenging high-level elders of the Azure Wolf Hall, or even obtaining Yue Moli's diamond earrings—these missions had no difficulty for him at all; they were more like blood bags to help him successfully promote.

And that mission in Huaxia just happened to give him an excuse to go back.

However, he could not yet determine the strength and scale of those traitors, so it was best to scout them out first before considering whether to accept it.

"Junior, there are many among those Level 4 missions that are suitable for you. You'd better stop looking at the high-level missions." Yao Xuefei was genuinely worried that Xu Tian would accept a high-level bounty mission on impulse. "Especially missions above Level 2; they are extremely difficult to complete. Many genius seniors couldn't complete them, and even teaming up didn't guarantee a win, which is why they have been left over for you to see."
