Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 160 Charity
Before returning to the palace to attend the dinner, Duan Mingyuan and Jiu Yue went to the Guild Administration Bureau with the documents handed to them by the Third Prince.

The Guild Administration Bureau in the court was much busier than Duan Mingyuan had imagined. There was a long queue in the waiting area, with people ranging in age from teenagers to people in their sixties and seventies. You could pre-fill out the form on the self-service computer, take a number, and then go to the counter to register after receiving the check-in number.

Duan Mingyuan found the registration information of the Hunter Guild on the self-service computer. After the fall of the Imperial Hunting Court, the guild was also changed to an "inactive" status.

Guild registration is equivalent to a legal identity. The batch recruitment of new members and the holding of large-scale events in various cities need to be reported. This is an important criterion for judging whether it is an illegal assembly.

"Mr. Mingyuan, Mr. Mingyuan, look at this!"

Jiuyue, who originally had no interest in the procedures, suddenly became excited after seeing the introduction on the self-service computer.

As long as it does not violate current laws and public order and good morals, there are no restrictions on the categories of associations.

For example, the old man in front of them came to register for the "Retirement Entertainment Exchange Guild". The main recruiting group of this guild is retired elderly people over 60 years old. The purpose is to create more entertainment channels for retired elderly people at home to help them better pass their leisure time.

In principle, as long as you have 30 people and have corresponding plans, you can apply.

"Can I also apply for the Chicken Tasting Guild?"

September is eager to try.

The purpose of the guild is very simple, which is to regularly exchange and discuss the experience of tasting chicken delicacies. When the guild grows bigger, it can hold chicken tasting exhibitions from time to time.

"Can you find 30 PUBG fans and sign up?"

"Sure. When we get back to the academy, I'll mobilize the teachers and students. There will definitely be enough people."

"You can try it."

Duan Mingyuan did not intend to comment on Jiuyue's interests and hobbies. The interests and hobbies of humans and fox demons cannot be confused. He contacted Dajiang and quickly gathered 30 active people. During the time they were away, Dajiang was not idle either. He tried to contact some former hunters and invite them to return to the guild.

While most hung up immediately, some responded to the call.

After all, many hunters are used to a life of wandering around the world. They have been traveling on the road for most of their lives. Suddenly settling down in a city and going to work at a fixed time is undoubtedly a torture for them.

After waiting in the lobby for about an hour, the staff at the counter called their number.

"Hunters Guild?"

The teller at the other end of the counter was stunned when she saw the name. She turned her head, put her index finger on her glasses, stared at Duan Mingyuan for a long time, and then confirmed, "Do you want to change your status to 'active'?"

"Well, this is the Third Prince's document."

"It seems that what they said is true. Someone is really rebuilding the Imperial Hunting Court."

"Do you know the Imperial Hunting Court?"

"The Imperial Hunting Court was a frequent visitor here before, and many people have received their favors."

The teller fell into reminiscence.

In the past, the court was full of demons and evil spirits. It was the appearance of hunters that brought a turning point in their lives.

That was something that happened during her great-grandmother's generation. At that time, an elite force of hunters fought a desperate battle with the evil spirits that lasted for several months. More than half of the hunters were killed or wounded in the battle, but no one retreated. In the end, they successfully eradicated the evil spirits' nests one by one, and the remaining evil spirits fled into the dark underground, and never dared to appear in front of people again.

The teller pulled out her necklace and showed it to Duan Mingyuan through the glass. "This is a keepsake left by my great-grandmother. She also participated in that battle as a hunter. This amulet can resist the invasion of evil spirits. I have always worn it as a talisman."

At this point, her eyes were somewhat sad. "But my great grandmother suffered serious internal injuries in the battle and died not long after the battle. Her skills were completely lost, and there has never been a hunter in our family since then."

This story about the hunter actually corresponds to the old tree roots deep in the sewer.

No wonder the evil spirits in the court were hiding in the dark sewers. It turned out that they were frightened by the war.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Duan Mingyuan. "This is the imperial court. Didn't the First King's army participate in that battle?"

"Ah."

The teller just sneered.

But because the truth might be considered reactionary, she did not continue. "Only the Hunter Guild cares about ordinary people like us. I hope you can pass on this legacy." "I will."

Duan Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

He had long ago decided to go one step further than the former Royal Hunting Court and change the relationship between hunters and evil spirits from the root. It might be possible for this pair of former mortal enemies to become partners who are both enemies and friends and grow together.

“I wish you all the best in your future.”

After completing the registration, the teller made a strange gesture to Duan Mingyuan.

This was the gesture hunters used to greet each other, and Duan Mingyuan imitated the same gesture in return.

"Is this the end?"

After leaving the Guild Administration Bureau, Jiu Yue was puzzled, "Why does it feel like nothing has changed?"

"The important thing is a legal identity. In the past, if you accepted a commission as a hunter, you would be regarded as a liar. From now on, the guild has a legal status, and you can open for business as long as you pick up some items."

"But isn't it a hunter's job to fight evil spirits?"

"indeed so."

"Then, those new evil spirits that I manage who haven't done anything bad will also be beaten?"

As the evil queen, she naturally has to fight for the rights of those under her.

Evil spirits also have human rights. They work hard every day to build a community. Now the stronghold in the abandoned construction site has begun to take shape. Xiao Jing said that the number of evil spirits that have been living there for a long time has exceeded 20.

Jiu Yue has never had so many younger brothers with him.

"Of course not. Next, we will work hard to change the way evil spirits and hunters get along with each other."

In the past, evil spirits ate people and caused trouble to the people, so it was natural to eliminate them. However, beating up a group of low-level evil spirits who just wanted to live a good life would lose its justice.

"Get along mode..."

September was thoughtful. She racked her brain and thought hard.

Now, the hunters of Yunlong City and the evil camp are basically in their hands, with the only difference being the palm and the back of the hand. Under this situation, how will their way of getting along change?
After a moment, September finally understood.

That's it!

As expected of Mr. Mingyuan, he could come up with such a brilliant plan!
It seems that as the evil queen, she still has a lot to learn.

"I totally understand. We can first send a team of evil spirits to destroy large companies or rich people's homes, and then let the hunters accept the commission. This way, we don't need to fight, and we can easily get the reward!"

The remuneration is split equally between the two parties, thus creating a win-win profit model.

This is much more comfortable than the life on the edge of a knife in the past.

This is a win-win deal for all three parties.

The evildoers and hunters gained money, while the employers who issued the commissions gained peace.

Everyone is satisfied, and in this way, a world is achieved where no one is hurt.

"You are stealing from the company."

Duan Mingyuan frowned. He couldn't remember when he had proposed this profit model.

"Don't say it so harshly." Jiu Yue argued, "It should be called robbing the rich to help the poor. This way, our client wins twice."

"What twice?"

“Not only did they find peace, but they also supported charity.”
