chapter 11 Hunter's Badge!

"Damn it, is this fake?"
Carl Guo's eyes widened. The word 'Passed' on the assessment application form was like a big slap hitting him hard in the face.
"Fuck you! Who dares to cheat in the hunter assessment?" Barret grinned, glaring at Carl and said, "The name on the application form is signed by presbyter Zhuang. Do you dare to question the presbyter?"
From the discussions of these hunters, Stanley learned that the old man in white robes who had just been responsible for giving him the assessment was Benson Zhuang, the presbyter of the hunters branch of Qing Yun City .
And this Benson Zhuang was also a third-level array mage!
In the entire Qing Yun City, there were no more than five formation masters who had reached the third level.
Zora was also stunned, especially since she just said that if this boy passed her, she would chase him.
Seeing Stanley staring at her with a smile, Zora's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Huh, little brother, let's wait until you grow up to talk about this matter." She curled her lips, which were very sexy, and she wanted to play tricks.
"Haha, this guy must have done it on purpose. At such a young age, he dares to date the most beautiful woman in our Qing Yun City Hunter Branch. He has a bright future!"
"Hey, Carl, didn't you just say that if this little brother passes the test, you will twist your head off and let him play it as a ball?"
"That's right, if you are a man, quickly twist your head off!"
More and more people in the hall started making noises.
At this time, Zora also took out a badge with crossed swords and handed it to Stanley, "Little brother, congratulations on becoming a hunter."
The badge was white. In addition to the logo of the Hunters Guild, there was also a star, which meant that Stanley was now a one-star hunter!
There were nine levels of hunters. One to three stars were junior hunters, four to six stars were intermediate hunters, and seven to nine stars were advanced hunters.
The higher the level of a hunter was, the more benefits there would be. However, the hunter branch in Qing Yun City could only issue three-star hunter badges at most. Those with four stars and above must go to the county city of Yun Long shire county.
Carl's face was as dark as an iron pot at the moment. Not only did he lose a thousand taels of silver, but he was also laughed at by many colleagues, which made him feel completely humiliated.
Of course, it was impossible for him to really twist his head off. Others just used it as a joke and didn't really take it seriously.
Snapped!
A money bag was thrown in front of Stanley. The tall and burly Barret grinned and said, "Little brother, this is five hundred taels of silver. Carl just made a bet with me that you would fail the test. The total bet was one thousand taels. Each of us has a half."
Stanley was slightly startled. Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money to him. The gambling fight between Barret and Carl had nothing to do with him. Logically speaking, Barret won the money, so there was no need to share it with him. .
"Brother Barret, you won this money, I can't take it." Stanley refused politely. He didn't like accepting benefits from others for no reason.
"If it weren't for you, little brother, I wouldn't be able to win this money, so don't refuse, unless you look down on me"
In fact, for Barret, money was a trivial matter, and embarrassing his old enemy Carl was what really made him happy.
Stanley smiled. Barret had already said this, so he couldn't continue to refuse.
"Then thank you Brother Zhou for your kindness." He thanked him and put the money bag away.
A boy who was less than fourteen years old was still very conspicuous in the hunter hall. The average age of many hunters gathered here was basically over twenty-five years old.
Barret insisted on inviting Stanley to drink. He had never drank wine since he was a child. He was almost forced to a table in the hall.
Along with Barret and Stanley, there were five people at this table. One was a thin man with a cold face, and the other two were twin sisters with average looks but hot figures. They wear tight-fitting military uniforms and were well-shaped.
"Come on, little brother Stanley, let me introduce you..."
Under Barret's introduction, Stanley learned that the thin man with a cold face was called Kent Guo, and the twin sisters were named Thera Ji and Sigrid Ji.
Including Barret, the four of them were a team of hunters. The leader Barret was a warrior at the second level of The Cultivation Realm Qi Hai, Kent was at the ninth level of Lian Ti, and Thera Ji and Sigrid Ji were both at the eighth level of Lian Ti.
Not only in the major states and counties of Tian Wu Country, hunters were the most common group of warriors in all major empires too in the world, and teams like Barret's were the most common.
"Stanley, I said before that if you can pass the assessment, I will let you join my team, how about it?" Barret took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
Half an hour ago, Stanley came to apply for the hunter assessment. No one in the hall thought he could pass. Barret also said a few words half-jokingly at first, but he didn't think Stanley had much chance of passing the assessment.
But the final result was beyond everyone's expectation. Stanley actually passed the assessment and obtained the one-star hunter badge with the lowest standard of fifth-level Lian Ti!
Hunters generally paid great attention to credibility, so Barret's invitation to Stanley to join his team could be regarded as fulfilling his promise.
The deep mountains and swamps were full of dangers, and the monsters were ferocious and powerful. Except for the martial arts masters who were extremely powerful individually, most hunters would go hunting in teams.
Especially when facing some monsters that move in groups, the importance of the team would be more vividly reflected.
"Captain, isn't this inappropriate?"
Before Stanley said anything, Kent, who was sitting beside him, frowned and said.
"Although Stanley passed the assessment, he is only at the fifth level of Lian Ti after all. Joining our team with such strength will drag us back."
This Kent was second only to captain Barret in terms of strength in the team, and his words also carried some weight.
Barret frowned, "How many people can pass the hunter test at the fifth level? Stanley was only thirteen years old and has great potential. He may be stronger than me in the future. You have to have a long-term vision."
Although Barret said this, Kent was still a little reluctant, saying, "It would be fine if the disciples of those aristocratic families hired us to take them to the mountains for training. Anyway, I don't agree on recruiting a little guy who is at the fifth level as a team member."
"What's more, he doesn't even have a weapon, how can he fight monsters with his fists?" Kent glanced at Stanley with a hint of contempt.
It was not like he had never seen young hunters like Stanley. Most of them were young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families. Similar to this kind of rookie, their cultivation level might not be low, but when they actually fought monsters head-on in the mountains, their actual combat ability was far worse.
At this time when Barret and Kent were arguing, Stanley did not speak because he had no intention of joining any team from the beginning.
"Brother Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Stanley did not argue with Kent. Although his cultivation level was very low, he had his own methods and trump cards, and he could naturally figure out his own way of survival.
Before Kent and Barret could say anything, Stanley had already stood up and strode towards the gate of the Hunters Guild.
"Kent, even if you don't agree with him joining, the words are too unpleasant?" Barret glared at Kent with some displeasure.
Kent was not convinced and snorted coldly, "I did it for his own good. If I really want to take him out hunting, it would be a drag on us and he would lose his life."
Most hunters actually disdained the so-called young geniuses, because no matter how fast they practiced, as long as they had not experienced the baptism of live-or-die fighting, they would definitely not become a true master.
Many young people who claimed to be geniuses had their eyes set high and went into the mountains to hunt, but the mortality rate was very high.
Therefore, when many disciples from aristocratic families went out for training, they hired a team of hunters to protect them. Barret and his team had also taken on such tasks several times.
When he reached the gate of the Hunters Guild, Stanley looked back and saw Zora looking at him.
Probably because she didn't expect Stanley to turn around suddenly, Zora was startled and quickly lowered her head, her cheeks turning crimson.
Stanley just smiled at this and then left the Hunters Guild.
When Zora looked up again, Stanley's figure had disappeared.
"My cultivation level will probably reach the sixth level of Lian Ti in the next two or three days. I will wait until my cultivation level breaks through to hunt."
Walking on the street, Stanley secretly thought in his heart, "Going out for hunting is not a trivial matter. During this period, I also have to make some preparations."
After thinking about it, Stanley came to Fangshi in the north of the city. The first thing he saw was a shop selling formation devices.
In Qingyun City, in addition to the Hunter Guild, there were also the Formation Master Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Foundry Master Guild.
Array Masters were one of the special professionals among warriors. They used the combination of attributes of various materials to assist in various secret techniques to lay out or create treasures with various magical abilities.
For example, the spirit gathering formation was a formation that condensed the vitality of heaven and earth and speeded up a warrior's practice. It was also one of the most common basic formations.
According to the different effects of the formation, it was also divided into nine levels, corresponding to the level of the formation master from the first level to the ninth level.
Formation masters were very popular among warriors. Many of the formation devices they produce were very popular among warriors. There would also be major forces that hired powerful formation masters to set up various large formations.
Therefore, many major forces would train their own formation masters, but it was very difficult to train high-level formation masters. Not only did the formation master need to have extremely high talents, but inheritance was also an extremely important part.
At the same time, formation mages also had strong combat capabilities. Some high-level formation mages had some big bosses bowed down before them.
In addition to formation masters, alchemists and casters also had special status far beyond ordinary warriors. These three major professions were also special groups in the world of martial arts practitioners.
"Fuck! The first-level spirit gathering formation costs 10,000 taels of silver?"
In this store, Stanley'S expression changed instantly when he saw a palm-sized white disc engraved with various runes on the shelf.
The first-level formation corresponded to the warrior's cultivation level of The Cultivation Realm Lian Ti, and this disk-shaped thing was the formation device.
The first-level spirit gathering formation could triple the training speed of The Cultivation Realm Lian Ti warriors, and only those disciples from aristocratic families could afford to use it.
Stanley touched the money bag hanging on his waist. Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money to him. What about ten thousand taels of silver?
