After tidying up the trivial matters, Wen Wen stretched lazily and emerged from the containment facility.
"It's time to inform the Association of my identity, otherwise it would be a shame if I couldn't claim that reward."
Reporting the Blasphemy Blood's Huafu Grand District branch and successfully eliminating a hidden danger in the Huafu Grand District should yield a considerable reward.
Wen Wen wouldn't forgo this benefit out of fear of retaliation from the Blasphemy Blood.
More importantly, if Wen Wen continued to conceal his identity, the Hunter Association would eventually discover it anyway.
It wouldn't matter if they discovered his identity, but it would be troublesome if they uncovered anything else.
So, following the previous procedure, he called Ye Haimo again and explicitly mentioned the reward multiple times during the call.
Less than an hour after the call, the doorbell of Wen Wen's guest room rang.
"The Hunter Association's efficiency is truly impressive."
Wen Wen peered through the peephole and felt a prickle of unease.
Standing outside the door was Yang Sheng, the blonde superpowered individual Wen Wen had encountered before!
"Could this guy have figured out I'm that 'Xia Yuhe from the past' I wonder... that wouldn't be good..."
Wen Wen calmed himself, opened the door, and feigned confusion, asking Yang Sheng, "Who are you? I didn't order takeout."
Yang Sheng: "..."
He coughed lightly and said, "I am Yang Sheng from the First Special Operations Team of the Huafu Hunter Headquarters, here to deliver the reward for reporting the Blasphemy Blood. Please accept it."
"Oh, welcome, please come in, please come in."
Wen Wen ushered Yang Sheng into the room and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
Yang Sheng waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble yourself. I'll leave after completing my task."
Wen Wen felt a bit disappointed. He had wanted to pour him a drink in his cat-ear cup.
Yang Sheng sat up straight and said to Wen Wen, "Since this incident is related to you, you have the right to know."
"In this encirclement operation, we eliminated one assimilated Upper-Order superpowered individual from the Blasphemy Blood, three assimilated Middle-Order superpowered individuals, seven Lower-Order individuals, and nearly a hundred superpowered individuals and monsters below the Assimilation Realm."
"It was a significant blow to the Blasphemy Blood's arrogance, but their branch minister, the Corrupted Blood, and several other high-ranking cadres all managed to escape."
Wen Wen nodded. He already knew it was impossible to completely eradicate them in this operation.
"Your identity as the informant is known only to me and our captain, besides the higher-ups. However, you should still be cautious of retaliation from the Blasphemy Blood."
Wen Wen nodded. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have had the idea to save people back then, and he even took the opportunity to plunder.
"Furthermore, your decision to report directly to headquarters was correct. This time, infiltrators from the Blasphemy Blood were found in the Yanling City Hunter Association and the Eastern Mountain Province branch."
...
After briefing Wen Wen on many matters, Yang Sheng stood up and said to Wen Wen, "Finally, the reward for you this time."
"The information you provided was very effective, but because you concealed your identity when reporting, and you did not participate in the encirclement operation yourself, there will be a certain reduction in the reward."
Wen Wen expressed his understanding. He knew the regulations for informants within the Hunter Association.
Generally, superpowered individuals on the front lines of combat would receive most of the total reward, and concealing one's identity would bring unnecessary risks to the operation, so a reduction was normal.
"Therefore, the reward for you this time is two hundred thousand Hunter Coins!"
"Two hundred thousand..."
Wen Wen's eyes lit up. His entire savings before this amounted to only ten thousand Hunter Coins. Now, it had increased twentyfold.
"These two hundred thousand can buy quite a few good things, like that 'Buddha Says Gatling'... like a back scratcher... wait, I can't afford that back scratcher!"
Suddenly becoming wealthy, Wen Wen calmed down when he realized he couldn't even afford a back scratcher.
Two hundred thousand Hunter Coins was a considerable sum for ordinary demon hunters, but it was likely nothing for high-level demon hunters.
Seeing Wen Wen's slight dejection, Yang Sheng quickly added, "In addition to the Hunter Coin reward, there is also a superpower weapon."
He clapped his hands, and several men in black entered Wen Wen's room carrying two metal cases.
Wen Wen's gaze was immediately drawn to them. Such a large superpower weapon must be very powerful.
Yang Sheng opened the cases. Inside was a menacing six-barreled machine gun, a full two sizes larger than a normal Gatling. The six thick, long barrels emitted a faint blue glow, each bearing a strange ancient character, and the gun body faintly emanated a golden light.
"This Gatling is..."
"I know, I know, this is the 'Buddha Says Gatling'. The six symbols on it are mantras from an ancient religion, possessing the ability to dispel evil. Three thousand six hundred rotations per breath, great compassion to save all beings!"
Before Yang Sheng could explain, Wen Wen pounced forward, playing with the giant machine gun, its length comparable to a person's height, with immense fondness.
Wait, with the caliber of the 'Buddha Says Gatling', it should probably be considered a autocannon...
Wen Wen had browsed information about this gun many times on the demon hunter website but had never had the money to buy it.
Now, the Hunter Association had gifted him one, and Wen Wen was extremely satisfied.
Seeing Wen Wen's pleased expression, Yang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
This weapon had been gathering dust in the armory of their First Special Operations Team for a long time, but no one was willing to use it.
Even selling it at a loss for a low price on the demon hunter website didn't attract any buyers. Sudan Novel Network
Firstly, the gun was too large, making it inconvenient to wield as a weapon.
Secondly, the gun was extremely expensive to operate. Three thousand six hundred rotations per breath was no joke; it could truly fire three thousand six hundred rounds per minute, and the bullets for this gun were specially made. Although not as good as demon hunter bullets, they were still not affordable for ordinary people.
However, Wen Wen simply loved such things. He didn't care about ammunition consumption; he would be happy even if it were just a decorative item.
With it, Wen Wen's favorite RPG rocket launcher had lost its favor.
"And the other case is full of bullets. After you use up all these bullets, you will need to purchase your own ammunition."
Wen Wen continued to play with the gun, not paying much attention to Yang Sheng's words.
"By the way, Detective Wen, there's one thing you need to be aware of," Yang Sheng reminded Wen Wen after watching him play for a while.
"What is it?" Wen Wen easily lifted the massive Gatling, as if it were a plastic toy.
"Don't point the muzzle at me..."
Yang Sheng took two steps back, feeling a bit uneasy. Despite no one wanting to use this thing, its power was explosive. He, an Assimilation Realm superpowered individual, wasn't confident he could withstand it.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Wen Wen shifted the muzzle slightly and continued fiddling with it.
Yang Sheng sighed, finding Wen Wen somewhat difficult to communicate with. "In this encirclement operation, a third party was involved – a strange muscular man wearing black leather pants. If you have any information about him, please inform us."
The mere thought of that muscular man girlishly calling him 'Brother Yang' made Yang Sheng's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
That scene had become a lingering shadow in his heart...
"Okay, I will, I definitely will."
Wen Wen trembled inwardly but still feigned indifference, giving a perfunctory reply.
"My mission is complete. I wish you success in becoming a Ranger soon, Detective Wen."
"Go on, go on." Wen Wen was still playing with the gun.
After Yang Sheng disappeared, Wen Wen finally put down the Gatling and looked out the window with a deep gaze.
