Chapter 1 The Hunter Guild

The Hunter Guild was the busiest place in Dawn Camp.

Moreover, it was located in that dilapidated villa in the Storm Manor.

Suren controlled the Abomination Zombie and walked up the hillside. Before long, he arrived at the manor's garden.

The surroundings were familiar. He still remembered that it was under the crooked-neck tree that he had killed the bald-headed Ivan. Now it was an anti-aircraft artillery and machine gun position.

The villa's hall had become a hunter hall, crowded with hunters carrying guns and swords.

In the center of the hall was a huge bright screen, filled with various mission information.

Recruitment of personnel, information requests, and the sale of various advanced materials and cursed objects.

The hunters stood in front of the big screen, searching for the information they needed.

"Recruiting: 'Iron Boots Hunter Group' is recruiting 30 members, doctors preferred, with Tier 2 professionals leading the team, exploring the West City Grade A cursed space tomorrow..."

"Recruiting: C~A grade cursed space exploration mission on the outskirts of East City, led by high-level professionals from the Oliver family, unlimited number of people, daily salary of 20,000 Lisol, with extra combat subsidies..."

"Information Wanted: Need Tier 2 lightning element warlock related advanced materials/or information, pay 3-5 million Lisol depending on the value of the information, go through the notary office."

"Item Consignment: Tier 2 assassin advancement material [Jet Black Demon Dagger], appraisal can awaken stealth ability, price negotiable..."

"..."

Suren had good eyesight. Without squeezing into the crowd, he could see the words on the screen and also saw someone asking for Tier 2 materials.

This was also the purpose of his visit.

The Dawn Ruins were very large, and it was absolutely impossible for him to find the information he wanted by himself.

He didn't delay and went directly to the guild to pay the money and post a circulating message.

"Information Wanted: Shocking, 5 million!!! Need Tier 2 'space ability' awakening related materials/information, pay 2-5 million Lisol depending on the value of the information, go through the notary. Can also explore with a team, Tier 1 veteran professional, quasi-gun master, good at the job, doesn't hold back..."

This eye-catching method was the "clickbait" he learned from various unscrupulous self-media in his previous life.

No matter what the situation, start with a shock.

His 5 million instantly made him stand out from the dense information.

As for the mental power secret method, he did not post it.

Mr. Black said that it was listed as "forbidden" knowledge by the Black Tower. Suren felt that if he posted it in a high-profile manner, it might attract some people with ulterior motives to fish.

.......

Suren posted the information request and stood at the door of the hall for a while. He wanted to see if there was any information he was interested in.

At this moment, a tentative voice suddenly called out from behind.

"Mr. Johnny, is that you?"

Suren turned his head and saw a tender face staring at him with wide eyes.

Who else could it be but Tommy?

However, Suren was even more surprised that he was recognized.

He had specially changed his attire in order to shake off the person who was following him. How did Tommy recognize him?

Suren smiled and did not deny it. He asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?"

Tommy looked at Suren and a smile immediately appeared on his small face. He said in surprise, "I didn't recognize you. But I felt it should be you, Mr. Johnny."

"Felt?"

Suren was even more surprised when he heard this word.

He vaguely felt that Tommy seemed to have some special talent, and asked, "Is it some special ability you awakened?"

Tommy nodded and shook his head, his tone uncertain. "I don't know..."

He thought for a while with a bitter face and said, "When I was escorting the goods, wasn't I almost bitten to death by a mutated monster? At that time, my head was buzzing with fear... Fortunately, Mr. Johnny saved me. Then, then I found that I seemed to have some special abilities. Just like just now, I felt that your figure was very familiar, so I called out your name..."

"So that's how it is..."

Listening to his description of the process, Suren could basically confirm that Tommy had probably awakened some kind of talent.

However, after thinking about it in his mind, he couldn't find any corresponding talent.

This inexplicable "feeling" ability seemed a bit rare, like some kind of visual talent?

But because talents were invisible, he could only speculate through some appearances.

Moreover, before it was fully awakened, he couldn't even be sure what it was.

For example, even if your talent was 【B-002-Red Demon】, when you first awakened it, it only manifested as increased strength, which could easily be confused with 【d-082-Great Strength】.

Without developing and controlling that power, there would be no chance to transform into a "Red Demon", and that rare talent might be buried forever.

This was perfectly normal for ordinary people who did not plan to advance to professional status.

Before, when he saw Qian Tiao reveal her second-stage awakened 【Rakshasa Woman】 talent, Suren had also curiously asked about some knowledge about talents.

He was now certain that talents had growth potential and could be broken through a second time.

Although he was not sure what the factors that affected "growth potential" were, from Qian Tiao's experience, talent awakening was almost always related to combat.

Only by experiencing the despair between life and death could one have great insight.

This was completely consistent with Tommy's description.

.......

Suren frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of what Tommy's talent should be. He asked, "What about your old man? Does he know you've awakened a talent?"

"I told him."

As Tommy spoke, he pouted and said with a grievance, "He said I was thinking nonsense."

"My dad also said..."

After a pause, he imitated Benson's tone, with a rough voice, "What I awakened was 【Great Strength】, you brat must have also awakened 【Great Strength】. Greater strength means you can move and carry things, that's the most practical ability! Don't think nonsense..."

"Hehe."

Suren couldn't help but laugh. This was in line with Benson's careless personality.

For ordinary people, great strength creating miracles was indeed one of the most practical and visible abilities.

Those fancy and rare abilities were like winning the lottery, they were always someone else's.

He asked again, "By the way, where's your dad?"

Tommy pointed to the dense crowd in the hall and said, "He met an acquaintance and went to accept a mission."

Suren: "Oh."

Just as the two were talking, Benson emerged from nowhere.

Seeing his son talking to a stranger, a trace of caution appeared on the big beard's face.

But little Tommy greeted him and said excitedly, "Dad, I met Mr. Johnny."

Benson looked at Suren and was immediately surprised. "Brother Johnny?"

He was very surprised. It hadn't been long since they last met, how could he have changed his clothes?

Suren nodded. "Yes, Captain Benson."

"Why are you still wearing a gas mask in the city? I almost didn't recognize you..."

Benson muttered, but he didn't think much about it. There were quite a few hunters dressed like this.

Recognizing Suren, he seemed to remember something and suddenly said excitedly, "Brother, are you interested in a hunting mission? Hunting in the Red Brick Tower district of East City. I have a team of old acquaintances, their captain is Tier 2, very strong. And the reward is good, and the level of danger is low..."

It was common for hunting teams to join forces to explore.

Especially when encountering some large and dangerous ruins.

Usually it would be teams of acquaintances who had worked together before.

"East City?"

Suren was really interested when he heard that.

Rewards were secondary. He thought the "Red Brick Tower district of East City" sounded familiar.

As soon as he thought about it, wasn't that the place where the stall owner said he found the 【Cursed Hair of the Weeping Witch】?

Benson saw that Suren was interested and asked again, "Brother, you haven't found a team yet, right? How about joining our 'Drunken Team'? We can take care of each other."

Suren knew that this uncle probably felt that he hadn't repaid the favor from the previous escort, and was planning to continue to "take care" of him.

He was just about to go to that area to take a look, and having a team would provide more security, so he agreed, "Okay."

Benson smiled when he heard Suren agree. "Come, I'll register you. I'll introduce you to my friend too."

At this moment, he also saw the cloaked giant standing quietly not far from Suren, and asked curiously, "This is...?"

Suren said casually, "That's a partner I used to know. I just happened to meet him in the camp. If it's convenient, let's register him together."

Looking at the Abomination Zombie's size, Benson naturally guessed that it was strong, and thought it made sense for a sniper to have a partner.

He smiled and said, "Haha, of course it's convenient! Now all the teams are recruiting people to explore the ruins, only worried about not having enough people, not afraid of too many."

.......

After speaking, Suren followed Benson out of the hall and turned to a room next to the banquet hall.

Suren looked at the brightly lit corridor, his eyes gradually deepening.

He had encountered a bloody banquet here back then...

As he walked, Benson continued to introduce, "Let me tell you, the reward for this mission is very good. Even if you don't get anything, you still get 5,000 Lisol per day. The key is that the people are reliable. My friend is a veteran hunter who has cooperated many times, very experienced, definitely no problem... Moreover, we have a cooperation contract, mutually independent, we don't have to obey their orders, and we have the right to choose in case of danger."

5,000 a day even without any gains?

Suren heard this and thought it sounded familiar. Just as he was about to think of something, he saw Benson leading him into a room with a sign that read "Oliver Family Hunter Group".

He muttered in his heart, "It can't be such a coincidence..."

The Oliver family, wasn't that the family of the young man who wanted to buy his hair by force when he bought the hair before?

And there was also that "Illusionist" Lloyd Rodney...

Thinking about the destination, Suren immediately understood.

It was estimated that they also bought the stall owner's information and were planning to send a hunting team over to take a look.

Thinking of the previous tracking, Suren's eyes narrowed slightly. "Tsk, tsk, what a coincidence."

Entering the room, Benson started a commercial sales pitch, "This is my brother Johnny, a very powerful sniper, an experienced veteran hunter. That's his friend, a very powerful martial arts expert, a sniper observer..."

Then he introduced Suren to the registrar, who looked like a professional. "This is my old friend Rolly, the captain of the famous 'Warblade Team'..."

Rolly looked at Suren and the Abomination Zombie and said, "Well, take out your ID to register."

Suren took out Johnny's hunter certificate, and the zombie was easily dismissed with the excuse that he had lost his certificate.

The other party was obviously eager to recruit people, and it was an introduction from an acquaintance, so they didn't take it seriously.

Before long, the contract was signed. Suren was registered under the "Drunken Team" and would go to the ruins with the large team organized by the Oliver family tomorrow morning.

......

Suren completed the employment procedures and did not stay in the Hunter Guild for long.

After saying goodbye to the Benson family, he led the zombie to the camp to find accommodation.

Watching Suren leave, Benson also breathed a sigh of relief.

He put his arm around Tommy's shoulders and said, "Let's go, son!"

As he walked, he continued to show off his ability to handle affairs, "Whew... I also found a reliable employment mission for Brother Johnny. After all, a lone wolf, especially a gunman, it's not easy to find a team, and it's easy to encounter a black team..."

Tommy, who was beside him, looked at Suren's back and muttered, "I think Mr. Johnny is very powerful... Even without Dad's introduction, he would definitely be able to find a good team."

Benson didn't understand what Tommy meant and raised his eyebrows. "Well, Brother Johnny's marksmanship is indeed not bad..."

But it was just not bad.

He had seen it during the previous escort, that marksmanship... was about 50-50 with Paul, the gunman in his team.
