1678 His Partner Must Be Very Impressive (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
Gu Ying could no longer treat Mo Fan the same way. She always thought the fawn in her heart had died around eight years ago after slamming its head into the banister called reality. She did not expect it to come back to life and keep jumping up and down in her heart!
'I'm sorry, we...we all thought you were just a Basic...” Gu Ying finally blurted out after some time.
”It's fine, but we are quite fateful. We are on the same team again,” Mo Fan said.
Big Nose and the Earth Mage were already regretting their decision after hearing the words 'same team'. Why did they kick him out of the party over the negligible cut to their profits? They simply had an urge to die right on the spot!
Luckily, Mo Fan was not bothered by their actions.

Lingling had hired a lot of Hunters. There were seventy-two people, according to Yang Ning's report. The Hunters were still discussing things loudly, since it was extremely rare to see such a young Seven Star Hunter Master. Some were still confirming Mo Fan's information repeatedly.
”My Heavens, how did he complete S-Rank Quests? They even had an international reward pool...” a few Advanced Hunters were whispering softly, but their soft voices could not hide their astonishment.
”He might be lucky if it was only one, but there are two S-Rank Quests on the list, and another one is confidential!” the leader of Cangjin Hunter Group, Lan Jin, pointed out.
”Oh wow, he's the one that resolved the Drowning Curse. I am from Dalian. The Drowning Curse was a hot topic at our place. They kept saying the victims were sacrifices offered to the King of Sea. Even Senior Hunters tried looking for the reason behind it, but they couldn't find anything!”
Not many people in China had heard about the reward pool for the Tear of Medusa, but the Hunters that were active along the coastline had heard about the Drowning Curse. They did not expect the young man to be the one that had completed the international S-Rank Quest!
Yang Ning stood beside Mo Fan and said to the teams, ”Let's sit down. I will explain the quest in detail. It's a little complicated, so it might take some time.”
The Hunters immediately fell silent. After all, they were still professionals, and their discipline was only second to soldiers. Otherwise, they would not have been hired for the quest.
However, not only were the members of the Foehn Hunter Squad restless, Lu Zhuo and Li Yumei were feeling uneasy too, judging from their expressions.
The news was like a crash of thunder from a clear sky to Li Yumei!
”What are you waiting for? Go apologize now, do you want to get kicked out of the team?” Lu Zhuo nudged Li Yumei.
”Master, master, I...I was as blind as a bat. I hope you don't mind what I said,” Li Yumei said with a forced smile.
Mo Fan was amused when he saw her reaction. He quickly put on airs.”Have you forgotten what you said?”
Seriously, people in every field liked to act superior in front of their juniors, as if they had been through a lot of hardships to get to where they were at now, hence their juniors were obliged to run errands for them...
”I didn't forget, I didn't forget, I'll go brew the tea right away,” Li Yumei could not have cared less about embarrassing herself anymore. She quickly went inside the teahouse.
Li Yumei was still hoping to earn enough Contribution Points to be promoted to a Hunter Master!
”If a rookie is willing to run errands, it's a way for them to pay their respect to their seniors, but it doesn't mean it is their duty. The seniors shouldn't treat these rookies as their slaves either… What's with all these practices?” Mo Fan said when he saw the others gloating.
Mo Fan remembered the time when he first joined a Hunter Group as a rookie. Back then, Xu Dahuang and Fei Shi had never forced him to run errands for them. These so-called unspoken rules were tightly related to a person's character. Those that lacked morals enjoyed feeling superior to others, so they enjoyed ordering their juniors around!
”The Hunter Master is right!”
Many Advanced Hunters had been hired for the quest. They were also rookies once, and were ordered around by old Hunters. Those with a good moral center would show understanding and not treat their juniors the same way. Others would learn from their seniors and waited until they could finally do the same to their juniors.
”Alright, let's get down to business. Our job is mainly about the Salamander Demons! You should understand the situation by now; the Thousand Islands Lake is crawling with the Salamander Demons. If we don't get rid of them soon, the Thousand Islands Lake will soon be taken over by a horde. I have an agreement with Councilman Jiang Xia. I will help him resolve the problem, and your job is to find the mated pair that are breeding the Salamander Demons and help me eliminate them!” Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan briefly explained how the Salamander Demons were reproducing to the teams.
A few Advanced Hunters were intrigued when they heard the information. They had always thought the Salamander Demons were breeding the normal way, considering how their numbers had increased rapidly in just a short period!
