"Then I'd like to trouble Miss Lacey to introduce us."

After Lacey withdrew her hand, Harvey's body stiffened slightly before he spoke.

The others at the Bounty Bar shook their heads at Lacey's practiced routine and the newcomer's reaction to Kassadin.

Lacey is a waitress at the Bounty Bar, where she announces new bounties or guides new bounty hunters on how to accept missions.

Many of the newcomers had drunk with Lacey, but it cost a lot of money to get her to go out with them.

Many people regret their actions after gaining more experience, but when they paid the money, they were completely willing to do so.

Furthermore, Lacey has powerful backers; anyone wanting to take revenge on her will have to see if they have the ability.

Now another bait has been taken, reminding them of their past.

However, no one offered a reminder that one must experience certain things in life before one can truly understand.

"Before I begin, Mr. Kassadin, let me ask you, what is your skill level, and what bounty are you planning to accept?"

Seeing Harvey's reaction, Lacey knew he had taken the bait, so she stopped trying to seduce him and instead asked with a smile.

"I am not familiar with the bounty classification system. Could you please explain it to me, Miss Lacey?"

Harvey, upon hearing this, also became interested and asked a question.

"Bounty missions are only divided into three levels, except for some very special missions."

"Level 1 costs between 100,000 and 1 million. It usually involves hunting down people, guarding, or clearing up disasters, and the distance of the mission is not too far."

"It's not necessarily necessary to have your own spaceship to do it."

"You can get there by taking some of Xandar's space routes."

"This is the most suitable job for newcomers to this industry."

"As long as you have some extraordinary skills, you can basically succeed."

"Moreover, you'll usually work with other colleagues, and by working with experienced colleagues, you can learn from their experience."

"Of course, there are also cases where you might get scammed, so you'll have to be careful."

Lacey smiled and explained, offering some reminders.

Ten thousand yuan is not cheap, but you can find several women to spend the night with for a thousand yuan.

For a normal person, two thousand yuan is enough for a month's food expenses, and they can eat their fill every day.

Harvey nodded upon hearing this, but remained silent and continued watching Lacey.

"One to five million is level two, and the scope of the mission becomes much larger, and the mission objectives become more dangerous."

"Interstellar capture and pursuit of fugitives, or protection of particularly dangerous merchant ships against interstellar raiders, as well as elimination of relatively dangerous monsters."

"And there's a high probability you'll encounter competitors; it's first come, first served."

“A good spaceship is essential for interstellar pursuit.”

"Therefore, there are requirements for taking on this kind of task."

Lacey understood what Kassadin meant and continued speaking.

Doing this kind of task is also called "no business for three years, then a big one that lasts for three years".

However, the risk factor has increased significantly, as there is still the possibility of returning empty-handed, or even dying at the hands of a competitor.

"The higher ones are five million to ten million, often the kings of some planets or countless people crowdfunding together to issue a joint bounty."

"The objectives of the missions are often to hunt down notorious and extremely powerful monsters, as well as to retrieve special items from the fearsome Star Raider Legion."

"Or it could be a complete cleanup of certain extremely dangerous areas, making it safe to mine in those locations, or even hunt some ancient monsters."

"The reward isn't just as low as five million dollars. If you do a good job, you can not only build friendships but also receive other rewards. There will also be designated tasks in the future."

Lacey continued her explanation, though this was usually meant to educate first-time bounty hunters.

In fact, a level 3 bounty mission is not something that can be done by one person; generally, only well-equipped large groups can take it on.

As for higher prices, they are generally not available except for designated tasks.

Those who post bounties aren't fools; they post bounties simply to save trouble and avoid causing losses to their own people.

Once it exceeds a certain limit, instead of spending so much money, it would be better to directly purchase weapons to arm yourself and your men, and resolve the situation directly; that would be much faster.

"I understand. Miss Lacey, please tell me about the level two bounty mission."

Harvey, having gained a general understanding of the bounty mission classifications, spoke up.

Missions worth more than five million US dollars are relatively rare on Earth, so it's understandable.

He wasn't lacking in confidence about taking on Level 3 bounty missions, but before that, he needed to acquire his own cosmic translator.

There are also various items that make it easier to understand bounty missions.

“Mr. Kassadin, I know you want to make a lot of money. Everyone wants to make a lot of money.”

"But you're new to this industry, isn't it a bit too hasty to go straight to level two?"

Lacey's words carried a hint of advice.

Level 1 bounty missions are not difficult to complete if you are skilled, daring, and have some weapons.

With a little seduction and her persuasive skills, earning several thousand or even tens of thousands wouldn't be a problem.

As a result, Kassadin immediately tackled level 2 missions, which significantly increased the mortality rate and slowed down the completion time.

She didn't want the fish she caught to die before even completing a single task.

"Just let me see it, as a reward for your explanation to me."

"When I get back, I'll definitely treat you to a few drinks."

Harvey, fully aware of Lacey's feelings, spoke up.

Lacey didn't try to persuade her any further. She picked up the transparent screen in her hand, tapped it a few times, and then swiped it.

Harvey discovered that the characters he couldn't understand before had all turned into characters he recognized.

The tasks available are mostly for over three million; those for less than three million have already been taken, and you can even see who completed them.

And you can see its appearance directly by clicking on it.

It is obvious that the bounty hunters in the universe are more aboveboard than the mercenaries on Earth who have to work in the dark.

Once you reach a certain level of fame, you should be able to receive specific tasks.

Chapter 52 The Land of Yellow Sand

Harvey glanced at the missions, skipping over the ones involving pursuit.

Although he can directly pursue and kill across interstellar distances, he currently lacks the equipment to connect to the bounty intelligence network; if he did, he would be completely in the dark.

Finding a fugitive in the vast universe is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Unless Harvey is interested in a particular task, the guard duty is completely out of the question.

Therefore, Harvey's goal is naturally to eliminate the disaster.

The target location is clear, and once the disaster is cleared, you can simply take the money and leave—that's the simplest way.

Moreover, the disaster might actually be a living organism; killing it would allow you to devour and absorb it, making the most of its resources.

The task of clearing disasters and hunting monsters was more than Harvey had imagined, but that makes sense, since not every planet is as safe as Earth.

Harvey made his selection and chose a desert monster that frequently caused destruction on Mogry.

The quest description states that this monster can burrow and create sandstorms, causing great harm to the people of Mogry.

The posting period was eleven years and seventy-four days, with a bounty of five million, and the number of times the task was accepted was six hundred and eighty-seven.

The fact that no one has been able to complete it so many times clearly means that either they died or gave up.

However, Harvey didn't care. After accepting the request, an interstellar route appeared on the transparent panel in front of Harvey, thirty light-years away from Xandar.

The reward for completing the mission is also indicated above, which can be claimed directly from King Ob Mogley of the planet Mogley.

Lacey had originally intended to offer some advice, but seeing that the man named Kassadin had accepted the mission...

Knowing that his drinks were essentially over, he didn't bother to offer any more advice, and simply said, "Good luck, Mr. Kassadin."

"Goodbye, Miss Lacey."

Harvey nodded slightly upon hearing this, said something, and then left.

"Lassie, it seems you've wasted your time this time."

"Stop talking, I'm in a bad mood."

"I bet that guy won't be able to complete that mission, and he'll most likely die on it."

"Who would be stupid enough to gamble this with you? How about I bet on his death, and you bet on his survival?"

"A five million bounty is tempting to anyone, but you have to be alive to claim it."

"I was new to the industry and had never seen real danger, so I thought I had a way to solve it."

"I left my right leg and the fighter jet in that desert."

"You're incredibly lucky to have survived such a monstrous, natural disaster."

Bounty hunters, if they work in this profession for a long time, often find it difficult to guarantee that they will retain their original bodies, and most of them end up with prosthetics.

However, having become accustomed to this extravagant and dangerous lifestyle, it's impossible for them to return to a normal, peaceful life.

Since they have the ability, they should use it to the very end. Even if most of them do not meet a good end, it will not have been in vain for them to come into this world.

※※※※※※※

After Harvey left the Bounty Bar, he instantly left Xandar and appeared in space.

Harvey then began searching according to the direction and distance indicated by the bounty mission.

Thirty light-years would require others to pilot spaceplanes to search for wormholes, but for Harvey, no matter how far the distance, it was just a step away.

Harvey looked down at the stars and soon found a yellowish-brown planet nearby.

One-third of this planet is covered by desert.
