Chapter 920: First-grade bounty mission
"What's more, he has already reported to the villa's high-level management that you absconded. You're showing your face now; isn't this walking right into the muzzle of a gun?"
Liu Shasha really didn't want Xu Tian to lose his life, but she persuaded him all the way, and Xu Tian remained unmoved.
The reason Wu Wannian dared to report to the villa's high-level management that he had absconded was just because he was certain he couldn't complete the first-grade bounty mission and wouldn't dare to return to the villa.
However, what disappointed him was that he had completed both first-grade missions, and he had completed them within a week.
This time, Xu Tian wanted to know how Wu Wannian would justify himself in front of the high-level management.
Ten minutes later, Xu Tian and Liu Shasha arrived at the area on the west side of the square, and compared to the bulletin board side, there were only more people here.
However, among the students here, except for a portion of fourth-grade bounty hunters, most were middle-to-high-grade bounty hunters. Judging by the clothing they wore, third-grade bounty hunters were the majority, and there were quite a few second-grade and first-grade ones. Even the rarest special-grade bounty hunters had one or two.
These people were all here to verify bounty missions, and those who could successfully complete missions were often students with high seniority, so it was normal that one rarely saw fourth-grade bounty hunters here.
Xu Tian looked at the long queue and found a row to stand at the very end.
"Junior Brother, are you lost? Where do you intend to go?" A person standing in front of Xu Tian turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
"Not lost, I'm here to verify a mission." Xu Tian answered.
Hearing this, the person turned his head directly and didn't talk to Xu Tian again, but a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
A fourth-grade bounty hunter who had just entered the villa actually ran to the first-grade bounty mission verification area to queue up; it was truly ridiculous...
How could a low-grade bounty hunter like him possibly complete a first-grade mission?
But seeing Xu Tian so confident, he didn't remind him again.
Letting this fool wait in vain and learn a lesson was also good. Newcomers, after all, always have to experience these things.
Xu Tian stood in the queue and waited for nearly an hour before it was his turn.
The verification place was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean bald head.
The man looked Xu Tian up and down, and after seeing the fourth-grade bounty hunter badge on Xu Tian's chest, he frowned unhappily.
"This is the place for first-grade bounty hunter verification missions, not where you should come!"
Without giving Xu Tian a chance to explain, the bald middle-aged man pointed to the opposite side.
"The place where you queue is over there."
The people queuing behind Xu Tian burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"This idiot, how did he break into the verification area for first-grade bounty hunters?"
"Truly overestimating his own strength!"
"How could such a person enter the villa? Didn't he go through the back door?"
"Hahahaha..."
"You guys still know he's a newcomer? Who hasn't made a blunder when they were a newcomer? He just entered the villa and doesn't know the specific rules. It's understandable that he queued in the wrong line."
They talked all at once, but most people were laughing at Xu Tian.
The Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa had many students. This time, the freshmen had two classes, plus other fourth-grade bounty hunters who hadn't been promoted, totaling nearly a thousand people. Except for the students in the same class as Xu Tian and those who entered the villa at the same time as him, others didn't know Xu Tian at all.
Now that they saw a low-grade newcomer come to the high-grade mission verification area and delay their time, they were somewhat dissatisfied with him.
Xu Tian heard what the bald man said and really thought he had gone to the wrong place, so he turned around to queue again.
There weren't many bounty hunters queuing to verify missions here. He estimated based on the time he had just queued, and he would be able to take his turn in more than ten minutes.
"Junior Brother, you look like a newcomer." A fourth-grade bounty hunter chatted with Xu Tian.
"How do you know?" Xu Tian asked back.
"Because the place where you queued before was the channel for first-grade bounty hunters. Most of the people there are verifying first-grade and above missions. Even a first-grade bounty hunter must at least complete a second-grade mission to go there. It's not a place we can go." The fourth-grade bounty hunter explained to Xu Tian.
Hearing this, Xu Tian nodded slightly.
The verification channel for first-grade missions—even if he wasn't a first-grade bounty hunter, as long as he completed a first-grade mission, it was reasonable for him to go there to verify it.
"I'm verifying a first-grade mission, so can I queue over there?"
"You're verifying a first-grade mission?" The fourth-grade bounty hunter was stunned for a moment, then thought he had misheard. "No way, you say you completed a first-grade bounty mission?"
How could a fourth-grade bounty hunter who just entered the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa complete a first-grade mission?
Isn't this Arabian Nights!
Currently, the bounty hunters of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa were all completing missions that matched their own grades. For example, the lowest-grade fourth-grade bounty hunters only took fourth-grade bounty missions. Missions with higher grades were impossible for them to complete, and if they were not careful, they would be seriously injured or even die.
Only by improving their own strength and experience, and being promoted to become higher-grade bounty hunters, would they take on higher-grade missions.
People around heard Xu Tian's words and were all somewhat dismissive.
"Junior Brother, you must have misread it and mistakenly thought the fourth-grade mission you took was first-grade, right?"
"Or are you so eager to be promoted that you're hallucinating?"
"There has never been a fourth-grade bounty hunter who could complete a first-grade mission. Are you bragging?"
"If you said you barely completed a low-difficulty third-grade mission, I might still believe you. First-grade? Are you kidding?"
Facing the questioning of others, Xu Tian was in no mood to defend himself. Anyway, as long as he verified the first-grade mission, all rumors would be self-defeating.
After waiting for a while, it was finally his turn.
He came to the mentor responsible for fourth-grade missions.
This mentor's figure was about the same as the bald mentor on the first-grade mission side. Those who didn't know would think the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa had unified figure management for mentors verifying missions.
The middle-aged man looked up at Xu Tian and asked nonchalantly.
"What's your name?"
"Xu Tian." Xu Tian answered.
"The grade of the mission executed, the time taken, a brief description of the process, and the evidence—hand them all over." The mentor said.
"Executed a first-grade bounty mission, took three days, the process..." Xu Tian paused and added, "The process was very smooth."
The process of the mission he completed really had nothing to talk about.
"First-grade bounty mission, process smooth..." The mentor was habitually making records when he suddenly raised his head sharply, staring at Xu Tian in disbelief. "Did you make a mistake? First-grade bounty mission?"
"I completed a first-grade bounty mission." Xu Tian repeated.
The mentor was silent, his expression still not believing Xu Tian.
He had been a mentor at the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa for more than ten years, and he had never encountered a fourth-grade bounty hunter who could complete a first-grade mission. ===== CHAPTER 921 =====
