It's probably best to just focus on doing your own tasks peacefully.

Being a one-star hunter is good, but I'd rather be a two-star hunter; that would be more fulfilling.

It's settled then, let's go.

Turning his head, Fu Long was stunned, because he didn't know when, but there was someone standing behind him.

He had a headscarf wrapped around his head and a cloak draped over his shoulders, looking travel-worn.

"Jin, what are you doing here?"

"Is it strange that I'm here?" Jin glanced at Fu Long. He remembered the kid; he had treated him to fish before, and the guy seemed nice.

Fu Long scratched his head, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it.

"But what brings you here?"

"I'm just here to take a look, and then I'll go find a mission to carry out. I'm a one-star bounty hunter now," Fu Long said politely.

"Oh, a one-star hunter? I happen to have a mission coming up. Want to join me? The bounty won't be small, how about it?"

Jin is very wealthy, extremely wealthy, because he never cares about money. To him, money is probably just a string of numbers.

Fu Long, however, pondered for a while.

To be honest, following Jin should lead to some fun things. Although there are some dangers, hunters are never safe and sound. More importantly, it's not just about making money; there are also things I can ask him about in terms of hunting.

"Okay, I'll join."

"Very good, I need to find someone else. Come with me."

Fu Long followed Jin into the Hunter Association.

"Jin, what's he doing here?" Several junior staff members of the association saw Jin and were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

"Looks like you're not very popular here?"

"How could that be? They were just too excited to see me." Jin scratched his head and laughed twice.

Fu Long sighed. "Fine, whatever you say. I won't object. Besides, there's no point in objecting anyway. I definitely can't beat Jin."

"Xiao Li, come here and summon someone for me. Tell her to come over quickly," Jin shouted.

Xiaoli was just an ordinary young girl in charge of registration.

Don't assume that everyone in the Hunter Association building is a hunter; a large portion of the staff are ordinary people doing other jobs.

And the highest leader of these ordinary people is that bean-faced man who can remain calm and composed even in front of gold.

Fu Long sat to the side and waited. After a while, Jin came over and said, "Okay, registration is complete. As a hunter, you can stay here. However, the room you stay in will vary depending on your level. For a one-star hunter, the accommodation is quite good."

After Fu Long followed Jin to check in, Jin didn't go back to his own room but took Fu Long to his room to take a look.

There don't seem to be many people on this floor.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, hunters spend most of their time on missions around the world, and very few people would stay here. It's only for emergencies.

"Ah, the bed in the one-star hunter's room is still the most comfortable."

Upon entering the room, Jin unceremoniously collapsed onto the bed, letting out a sigh.

Fu Long was speechless. You're a two-star hunter, and you come here to tell me that one-star rooms are nice to stay in? Is that really true?

"By the way, now that you're here, why didn't you apply to become a three-star hunter?" Fu Long suddenly realized that Jin was too lazy to apply, which was why he had always been a two-star hunter.

"What's the use?"

"It doesn't really sound very useful; it's just a nice-sounding name." Fu Long thought for a moment, then shrugged.

"By the way, you don't seem to have taken on any apprentices yet, right? To become a two-star hunter, you have to train apprentices. This time, we have quite a few promising newcomers in our team. Do you want to give them a try?" Jin turned over and looked at Fu Long.

Fu Long was taken aback. Right, to become a two-star hunter, there seems to be a rule that you have to train an apprentice.

Otherwise, given Kim's personality, how could she have produced someone like Kate?

That's a problem. Should we give it a try?

Chapter 169 Directly Crack a Road

On the second day at the Hunter Association, in the main hall.

Jin and Fu Long were lying on the ground, watching the two insects fighting in front of them.

They caught the insects themselves, and the two of them set up the frame using grass sticks.

People around them would walk around them.

Jin is very famous, and he's a very easygoing person who does whatever makes him happy.

But his exceptional strength, being one of the world's top five telekinetic users, is no joke.

As for Fu Long, some people already know his name. After all, it's hard for a one-star hunter not to be known.

This guy is someone who can hold his own against veteran telekinetic users and even defeated that troublesome mosquito. That's why he was promoted to one star. This kid is not to be trifled with.

"You guys really know how to have fun," a female voice said.

The two ignored each other completely until the two insects on the ground had decided who would win.

"Hey, Finch, long time no see." Kim stood up and greeted him.

Finch, a one-star archaeology hunter, was someone Fu Long didn't know, but anyone who could get close to Jin was probably not weak.

"Let me introduce you. This is Fu Long, he makes delicious grilled fish. This is Finch, he's a restoration expert."

Fu Long: ……

So, all you remember about me is grilled fish?

After exchanging greetings, Jin led the way before heading outside.

"This time, the target is the ruins that have been submerged in Lake Pasla. Because they are in the water, it is very troublesome."

As they walked, Finch explained the details of the mission to Fu Long.

Pasla was once a large city, and among the ancient cities, it was a necessary route for merchants from various countries in the early days of the continent.

Legend has it that at its peak, Pasla was home to a meeting of ten nations.

It was a meeting of ten neighboring countries that discussed a business charter.

Back then, Pasra was a wealthy, free, and communicative city, a place many people longed to visit.

However, it is said that Pasla angered a demon who controlled the surrounding ley lines, causing the city of Pasla to sink by nearly a hundred meters, after which a spring gushed forth.

All the residents drowned in Lake Pasla.

After this place turned into a huge lake, forests and magical beasts slowly appeared all around, and over time it became a dangerous place.

At this time, trade between countries had to take a longer route, leaving only a legend behind.

Lake Pasla has become a haven for adventurers, and many hunters have visited the place, but they can only explore a portion of it.

“Our goal this time is to drain that lake clean and make Pasla reappear on the surface,” Jin said casually.

Fu Long gasped; this was going to be difficult.

That being said, it seems like someone like Jin is capable of doing something like this.

He always does unexpected things, and more importantly, sometimes his motivation is just to have fun.

"Okay, let's go over there first. There's already a team waiting for us."

Finch ignored Jin and spoke to Fu Long instead.

The spaceship first took them to the Kingdom of Castle, a small country that used to rely on the city of Pasla for its livelihood. Now that they also have airships, they naturally no longer need to think about ground transportation.

Jin's team gathered here.

In fact, many of them are people found here. Apart from places like Greed Island, it's generally not common to gather so many Nen users.

"Jin, he's finally here." The leader of these people was a man with a slanted shovel slung over his shoulder, a thick beard, and he looked quite capable.

Behind him followed a group of people, of varying ages, some of whom looked like teenagers.

Some are tall and strong.

There were fifteen people in total.

Jin went over, shook hands with the bearded man first, and then introduced himself.

The bearded man was named Locke, and the group following him were members he had gathered from all over the place, each with their own unique skills in various aspects.

"Let me give you a proper introduction to this gentleman, Fu Long. Don't let his young age fool you; he's already a one-star bounty hunter. And Fu Long might even take on an apprentice, so you all need to perform well."

Fu Long was speechless. So you're using me for advertising, huh?

However, the title of one-star hunter is still very useful. The team members below looked at Fu Long as if they wanted to devour him.

Fu Long shrugged and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. As for whether or not we'll take on any apprentices, we'll have to see after things are over. If there's an opportunity, we'll take one on and have them become a hunter in the next assessment."

Five black pickup trucks sped along the road. Because they had been prepared, the three of them did not rest after arriving and headed towards the marked location.

After a day's drive, the group arrived at a grove of trees.

The Forest of Gathering was once a vital transportation route for the ten kingdoms, hence its name after it became a forest.

The Forest of Gathering is quite large, and it is home to many ferocious beasts and magical creatures. It can be said that you need to be quite skilled to survive here.

Fu Long glanced around and saw that there were only four Nen users in the group. The remaining fourteen people could only be described as physically strong or having a special skill.

"Isn't the power a bit weak?" Fu Long asked Jin.

You are indeed one of the five Nen users, but with four Nen users guarding fourteen ordinary people, the pressure must be quite immense.

"Don't worry, this time we're using a disruptive approach to advance."

"Disruptive?" Fu Long raised an eyebrow.

Locke had already begun preparations. First, the ordinary people were using various devices, seemingly to mark locations and measure distances.

Then he looked in one direction.

Then Locke stood there, reached out, and the slanted shovel behind him was already in his hand.

Psychic power continuously flowed into the blade.
