I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 379 Suddenly he's going to join the board of directors?

Seeing Feng Xue leave the room, Fina visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Feng Xue's voice in her ear:

"My transformation technique is fine. As long as you don't do anything out of line, you'll pass. The same goes for Sarah; don't do anything unnecessary."

With these words as reassurance, Fina was clearly much more relaxed. Although the man in the red robe looked tense and serious, the ceremony itself was just a routine matter. After confirming that there were no problems with their bloodline and faith, a total of seven sailors, wearing brass wolf head emblems, stood in front of the temple again.

At this moment, the red-robed man's expression visibly relaxed, and his tone was no longer as cold as before. He simply activated his terminal and sent a string of code to the seven people, saying:
"I believe some of you have already guessed that you have successfully passed the hunters' preliminary test. The holy emblem in your hands is proof of your honor. However, obtaining the holy emblem is only the beginning. You must offer a sacrifice to our Lord with a hunt to prove that you are qualified to receive the favor of the god of hunting."

"You need to hunt down any one of the people on the list within two months. Your family privileges have been upgraded, and you can check the resources you can use through the terminal. The mission only considers the results. Anyone who fails to return to the port within two months, whether dead or alive, will be considered a traitor. Of course, if you do not bring back any prey, you will also lose the opportunity to become a hunter forever."

Although the red-robed man's words even carried a murderous intent, the other sailors were completely unaffected. They were now completely immersed in the ecstasy of becoming hunters. As the core strength of the Reid family, entering this circle meant a promotion in social class!
From this day forward, they will no longer be cannon fodder to be used and discarded at will, but core members who can draw upon the family's resources. Even those from distant collateral branches will now receive the same treatment as the main lineage.

The only requirement is to complete a hunt!
It must be completed!

We'll do whatever it takes to finish it!
Seeing that the seven newlyweds' emotions had been stirred, the man in the red robe immediately clapped his hands lightly—

"Alright, you have three days to prepare. The start-up funds have been sent to your terminals. The two-month countdown will begin in three days. Whether you set off immediately, prepare more tools, or spend a few days on the island is up to you."

……

As they left the passage, Feng Xue didn't react much, but Fina started laughing and jumping around, looking just like the other girls in her cohort. Feng Xue initially thought it was just acting, but as time went on, he realized something was off.

"What's going on? Why are you so happy?"

Feng Xue continued to ask questions using the technique of suppressing her voice, and Fina, upon hearing this, slapped him and then casually handed him a piece of meat.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same pert nose that had been removed earlier.

However, at this moment, the nose suddenly melted, turning into a thin film that adhered to Feng Xue's skin. Immediately afterwards, Feng Xue heard the sound transmitted to her ears through vibration—

"This is a hunting ceremony! This is outrageous! How did they suddenly become a core member of the Reid family? This is a status that qualifies them to attend decision-making meetings! Now all we have to do is wait for the year-end meeting and..."

"Stop grinning like an idiot, you should think about how to organize that hunt first."

Feng Xue finally understood. This was a plan to impersonate a board member, attend board meetings, and then corrupt all the directors. Although he didn't quite understand the Reid family's selection mechanism, he wasn't opposed to this fast-track method. Delis clearly had designs on the God of Hunting, so he wanted to secure the core position first to avoid aiding the enemy later.

With this in mind, Feng Xue felt a bit more motivated and checked the roster on her terminal as she left the warehouse area.

The list provided by the Reid family was not difficult to make, but it was actually not that difficult. Most of them were pirates or marines with bounties of around a million or less. Occasionally, there were a few marked as family traitors. But Feng Xue felt that these seemingly weakest ones were the most dangerous. With the Reid family's hunting ability, anyone who could survive to the point of having a bounty on their head, no matter how weak, would definitely be good at escaping.

"They're mostly pirates operating in the Torridge Islands, with a few naval officers who take the money but don't do the work. Hmm, not bad, there shouldn't be any landmines."

Feng Xue imitated Xiu Pu's tone, whispering the names of the targets on the list, then, as if remembering something, turned to look at Fina:

"They said they only care about the results, so we should be able to team up. So, do you have a target in mind?"

"These bounties don't have any level markings, and the difficulty levels are similar. There shouldn't be any extra points; just pass the test successfully. The real challenge is the round trip. You know how slow sea shipping is. The worst thing is killing someone and not being able to get them back in time (Note ①). So just pick the one that's closest to you."

Fina glanced at the list a few times and quickly gave her opinion. Feng Xue, upon hearing this, found it quite reasonable and immediately sent a message to Xiaofengling:

"Help me determine the current location of these people on the list, and then help me find a relatively reasonable intelligence gathering channel. Oh, and while you're at it, plan out the route map as well."

"That's a piece of cake for Little Wind Chime!" Little Wind Chime's cheerful and lively voice rang in my ears, and in less than three minutes, a complete hunting procedure had been sent over.

While marveling at how technology has changed the world, Feng Xue gave Fina a look, and the two of them simply walked towards the tavern by the dock.

Since it was an assessment, every candidate's actions were naturally being watched, and Feng Xue and Fina's trip to eat certainly didn't escape the proctor's notice.

Compared to the other candidates who were practically bursting with energy, these two seemed less focused. While others were already booking boats, these two were still enjoying their meals.

But in the eyes of the examiners who have seen all kinds of candidates, these two are the ones with the best chance of passing.

Hunting is not fighting; it's not something you can solve by blindly rushing in. How can you succeed if you can't even maintain a calm mindset?
The examiners' gazes were completely exposed to Feng Xue's over-the-shoulder perspective, but this was within his expectations. He and Fina indulged in a feast, thoroughly reliving the experience of pretending to be pirates, before finally using the Reid family's connections to investigate clues about their target.

Although Little Wind Chime had already provided a complete plan, it would be too obvious to simply eliminate all the wrong answers. So the two of them cast a wide net first before finally selecting the clue given by Little Wind Chime...
