Mo Fan asked the Hunter Mistress to gather the hired squads by Minghu Lake to meet them.
Hunter Masters could issue quests too, and they were usually well-received by other Hunters. Not only did those quests have higher credibility, but they would also award a significant amount of Contribution Points.
Contribution Points were as valuable as money in a Hunter's eyes. A lot of Hunter Groups were willing to take Contribution Points as the reward to obtain higher ranks!
Mo Fan had no idea how many Contribution Points he had collected so far. Lingling was fully responsible for managing them. He was rather intrigued after learning Lingling had hired so many Hunters without using a lot of money.
”Basically, after you become a Hunter Master, every Contribution Point you earn can be treated as a special currency among Hunters. When you need other Hunters' help for your quest, you can offer them Contribution Points as a reward. Someone will be willing to take your quest if the Contribution Points you offer are high enough. That being said, the Contribution Points that you give out will be deducted from your balance, and you will be demoted if they are lower than the required amount for your current title,” the Hunter Mistress Yang Ning told him.
”Oh, I see. I've never used my Contribution Points before,” Mo Fan said.
The quests that Lingling had accepted were suitable for just the two of them, and did not require a lot of manpower. Lingling would rather use money instead of Contribution Points, so their rank could rise faster.
However, Mo Fan was already a Seven Star Hunter Master, the highest rank below Senior Hunter. It was unlikely that he would become a Senior Hunter anytime soon, so it would not hurt to use his Contribution Points, as long as it would not take away his rank of Seven Star Hunter Master.
Mo Fan's rank had risen insanely fast, mainly because he had completed a few S-Rank Quests, including the incident on Chongming Island, the Drowning Curse, and the Tear of Medusa. His rank had soared like a plane lifting off. After all, quests with a reward pool were extremely difficult, but the reward usually contained an insane amount of Contribution Points!
Mo Fan's rank had skyrocketed after he completed the quest of the Tear of Medusa. After all, they only had two Hunter members in their party, unlike other squads who usually had around eight people. Some Hunter Groups even had more than a dozen members. Therefore, even if these Hunter Groups managed to complete a quest with a high reward, the money and Contribution Point each member would receive were not that great.
Their party only had two members, yet they had managed to complete S-Rank quests. As a result, their ranks had risen very quickly!
”The truth is, it's rare to see Hunter Masters completing quests on their own like you and Lingling. Most Hunter Masters will gather lower-ranked Hunter Groups to do their jobs. The Hunter Masters enjoy the meat, while the rest of the Hunter Groups get a share of the soup, just like what you're doing today...” Yang Ning said.
It was obvious that the Hunter Mistress knew Lingling.
”Our Clearsky Hunter Agency is only interested in dubious and difficult quests... By the way, did you contact the Hunters that we hired?” Mo Fan asked.
”I did; they are on their way here,” the Hunter Mistress answered.

Mo Fan chatted with the Hunter Mistress at the teahouse beside the lake for some time. He finally understood the privileges of a Hunter Master. He had also learned a trick; he could let other Hunter Groups do some of the errands for him! The expense was like a drop in the ocean compared to the Contribution Points he had collected.
”I told them to be here at nine. Do you want me to tell you the details of the teams?” Yang Ning said.
”Forget it, I'm too lazy for that now. I'll go grab another pot of tea. The tea is pretty nice here,” Mo Fan rose to his feet.
”Let me do it.”
”It's fine, I can do it myself.” Mo Fan went into the teahouse.
Yang Ning watched Mo Fan leave. She had known Lingling for a long time, but it was her first time meeting Mo Fan. It was rare to see such a young Seven Star Hunter Master. She flipped open the files to read his information again.
A moment later, she heard footsteps approaching.
Yang Ning lifted her gaze and saw a few unfamiliar faces. She frowned in puzzlement.
”Miss Yang, it's us, the Foehn Hunter Squad. I'm the leader, Gu Ying,” Gu Ying smiled.
”Ah? My apologies, I'm sorry for not recognizing you… you looked so different the other day,” Yang Ning politely shook hands with Gu Ying. She was quite surprised. The female leader was actually quite pretty when she made herself presentable. She looked completely different from her beggar-like appearance the other day.
Every woman was fond of beauty, yet she was willing to sacrifice her beauty just to complete the quest. Yang Ning was a little impressed by Gu Ying.
”Is the Hunter Master not here yet? Oh, we've come early. Miss Yang, did you introduce us to the Hunter Master?” Xie Hao blurted out.
”He's too lazy to hear me out. After all, there are a lot of teams on the list,” Yang Ning said.
”A lot of teams?” Xie Hao was confused.
