Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 954 Manipulating Newcomers
Unlike her predecessor, who had the alias Hellstalker but could only find work by posting online, Huntress is a proper professional, a graduate of the best superhero academy in New York, with a diploma.

Although she was burdened with heavy student loans, she still had some connections and resources. In addition, she joined a sorority, so after graduation she became a well-known superhero and was recommended by the sorority to become a resident hero in a community, which already surpassed most graduates.

However, it is almost impossible for Huntress to go any further, because the upper limit of a hero is determined by their ability. Like Superman in the League, once his talent is determined, he is destined to stand at the top of the country.

Huntresses who lack strong abilities and rely solely on their accurate archery skills are destined not to go far on this path.

She became a community hero simply because she used a bow and shot accurately, which greatly reduced damage to public facilities and residential buildings.

Previously, insurance companies did offer supernatural event loss insurance, which included compensation for various forms of damage caused by villains, heroes, and evil spirits. However, after a series of bankruptcies and closures, no one dared to touch this minefield anymore, because the destruction caused by unrestrained heroes and unscrupulous villains was simply too astonishing.

Nowadays, repairs and compensation are usually covered by the community's reserve funds, so the less damage caused by the heroes stationed there, the better.

However, this also means that female hunters lack the ability to deal with various crisis events, because their own limitations are limited.

So from the very beginning, the Huntress was consciously looking for suitable teammates and planned to take the team cooperation route, just like the top hero teams in the League of Legends.

This is the only way to make up for one's own shortcomings, even if it requires some sacrifices.

Pulling on the zipper that reached almost to her navel, the swaying sensation filled the huntress with confidence. With just these treasures, she dared to take down a B-rank ability user.

Of course, it's just a thought; if possible, the huntresses wouldn't even consider taking that step, because they're not human.

After leaving the community, the female hunter led Yan Xu to meet up with another teammate.

Jason, a former quarterback, is prohibited from running on the field after awakening his superpowers, according to the rules. Now he is the Huntress's dedicated cameraman and editor, responsible for filming the Huntress's actions and then editing the exciting parts to post online to attract fans.

This is the path most superheroes take: once they have enough traffic, they can take on advertising and endorsements, earn a share of the profits, and enjoy life to the fullest. That's why Jason immediately stared intently at Huntress's two big bombs, as if he had found the secret to wealth and his life goal.

As for where these two big thunderbolts came from, he didn't care. After all, what kind of superpowers don't exist? He had even seen a welder who used his little brother to shoot heat rays. He watched every live stream of the welder and especially liked the welder's amazing skill of standing at attention with his hands and feet still while welding a beam. Unfortunately, he died not long after in a battle between Superman and some third-rate villain. His death was mysterious and made people afraid to think about it too much.

"This pervert wearing a baseball player mask is Jason. Don't let his two-meter height, three-hundred-pound weight, and the fact that he always carries a knife fool you; he's actually socially awkward and doesn't dare go out without a mask. He's my personal cameraman, and the reason I was late before was because I was waiting for him."

"This is Hellblazer, a superhero from the mystical side, and also a new member of our team."

The huntress introduced the two to each other, and they nodded to acknowledge their acquaintance. Then Yan Xu got into Jason's car and watched the huntress ride her motorcycle with a thunderous roar, all the way to the team's workshop, an old garage that was a standard feature of young entrepreneurs in the Alliance.

This place used to be a car repair shop, but it went out of business and was then rented out to young people who didn't have money but wanted to start their own businesses.

The female hunter, who had just graduated and was burdened with a large amount of student loans, was only able to rent a place with the help of her friends.

Although she's now somewhat well-known locally, she's still not exactly wealthy, so she hasn't moved out, only renovated the place. Opening the roller shutter door, you'll find the interior is quite spacious, with two floors. The lower floor can park two or three cars, and besides the exercise equipment and repair tools, the kitchen and bathroom are also located there.

The second floor is a place for work and rest, and there is also a small bar. Although the decoration is simple, it is not bad, enough to make most young entrepreneurs envious to tears.

The huntress showed no intention of changing her clothes, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of shifting her weight forward and swaying, as she dragged him upstairs to complete the onboarding process.

Over the years, the relevant rules have become quite comprehensive. After the female hunter helped him take photos and upload them, she could retrieve the relevant files.

He hasn't committed any serious crimes and isn't a wanted criminal; that's enough.

Then fill out the form, and you'll quickly pass the review to become a reserve hero in League of Legends.

Of course, this was because a female hunter vouched for him; otherwise, how could a real newcomer easily join?

However, the reserve is just a reserve, unlike the official heroes who have insurance and various privileges.

From purchasing equipment to accepting quests, there are restrictions, which makes it difficult for newcomers to get rid of their guarantors until they pay a sufficient price.

Fortunately, the female hunter wouldn't go that far. First, her ability ceiling isn't high, and second, she needs Yan Xu's help to maintain her figure.

Of all the registered heroes, the Mystic side is the least represented because the Mystic side's abilities are mostly very obscure and often come at a price. This makes it difficult for the Mystic side to display flashy skills and effects, and they are prone to dying violently. Therefore, they are rarely chosen as heroes, and Huntresses do not trust the Mystic side.

The longer a huntress works in this line of work, the clearer she becomes about what kind of people they are.

Unless you have sufficient strength or power, taking the initiative to approach someone is no different from handing them over a handle.

Therefore, female hunters would rather trust simple newbies than seek out so-called experts. At least the newbies haven't had time to go astray or completely fallen into darkness, and most importantly, they are easy to control.

Thinking of this, the huntress revealed a cryptic smile, gesturing to her ample assets. Tonight, she was going to use her words to seduce the newcomer and win him over in one fell swoop.

Jason, who was downstairs finishing his weightlifting and applying oil to his muscles, rolled his eyes, took out his cup, poured in protein powder, and vigorously shook it up and down as he walked towards his room.

Compared to the female hunter who only realized her mistake after suffering in silence, he saw much earlier that this newcomer was no ordinary person. But what did it matter? He was just in charge of recording and had no interest in who was on top or who was on the bottom, who was in control or who was passive. He would rather spend that time practicing a couple more sets.

Moreover, being a community hero is becoming increasingly difficult. If no changes are made, they will not only fail to grow stronger, but they will also lose their existing territory.

So the only option is to make things difficult for the huntress and keep this clueless newcomer.
